Ike. Tax oh Cartridge Sdliug.
Morning I'ost,
A friends at; Kinaton nsks
our construction of a section
of a section of . the revenue
act relating o. the tax on
tbe sale ot cartridges, and as
it may be of interest to oth
ers we give it here.
The section referred to is
quoted as follows: "Section
69 Every mei chant, store
keeper or dealer who shall
keep in stock, sell or offer for
sale any pistol or pistol cart
ridges shall pay an annual
tax of twenty dollars."
The question asked is,
''Does this pertain to rifle
cartridges," and are "whole
sale dealers only liable to tbe
tax?"
v We should say tbe section
covers the dealer in any cart
ridge that can be used in any
pistol, let it be called what it
may.; The object of the law is
to discourage or prevent the
use of carrj ing of the pistol,
and cartridges which can be
used in a pistol, though pri
marily intended for a "rifle"
would come within the mean
ing of the act.
The section as quoted
makes no distinction between
the wholesale and retail deal
erw It embraces "every mer
chant, storekeeper or dealer"
who may keep in stock or
sell or offer to Bell cartridges,
wnicn may or can De used in
pistols.

The color line has been
drawn Jn the. navy yard in
Brooklyn, where. much bitter
feeling has been aroused be
cause a negro; Isaac Miller,
has been permitted to go to
table with the chief petty of
fleers. Miller has been in the
nary a number of years, and
has won steady promotion,
until he 16 now cbiel car pen
ter's mate. Ue passed n satis
factory examination for bis
position recently ami was
sworn in on!Tuesday last,
The new rank entitled the ne
gro to a seat at the petty
affleer's mess. ' He took bis
scat there on Wednesday at
noon, whereupon eight of the
other officers cot up'aod re
fused to sit at table with
him. 'In an account of the af
fair, the New York Sun says
that since the above occur
rence the negro has had a tu
Lie to itself and that he
"shows great unconcern at
the feeling exhibited toward
him and does not seem to
mind eating his meals alone.'
Miller thus shows good sense
and leads one to believe that
he must be from the South.
His mistake was in first ta

flormau's Platform la Brief. 1
St-nntor (jorniun said in a
speech recently in brief: ; ,
The Democratic party in
its next national platform
should pledg Stsell
To stop the collection of
more revenues than are re
quired to conduct the govern
tuent.
To revise the tariff in a
spirit of conservatism and
with a purpose to mate oar
industries more prosperous,
and not to wreck any of
them.
The tariff plank in the plat
form of 1904 should be adop
ted, and that the revision of
the tariff should be tbe issue
of the next election.
With such a platform be
believes a democratic candi
date can be elected nextyear.
the gold and silver issue hav
ing settled itself.
When the bill for deposit
ing Government funds in na
tionnl banks comes upat the
next session, the Democrats
will insist upon sufficient se
curity and proper distrlbu
tion. Ex.
