nue, it is said.ewill probablyrecommend
Congress to reduce thu internal taxation
by about $80,000,000. A Washington
telegram states that he docs not believe,
however, that a majority of tho people
favor the repeal of the tax on distilled
spirits nndtobacco. It is probable that
the Commissioner, in his forthcoming
report, will repeat in substance the re
commendation iu his li-it report, which
vas, "whenever the wants of thoGoveru
nieut will allow reduction of internal
taxation, my opinion is it will bo wiso to
confine-these taxes ti distilled spirits,
oiiltiqiiQM,dbacco and its products,
nnd to special taxes upon manufacturers
and dealers in those articles, nnd such
rates ns will yield the amount of revenue
necjSBary to he raised from these Konrc
ces." As he favors a reduction of reve
nue to the extent of SSO,000,000, it is be
lieved he will recommend a reduction of
tax on distilled spirits, malt liquors, to
bacoo and special licenses, and the re
peal of tho other internal taxes.

Our Now York Letter.
Regular coihtpendcnce of Advocate.
Nfcw York, Nov. 28, 1S52.
The firt snow which made its appear
ance on Sunaay, kept stablemen busy
until lute at night, getting cutters nnd in
fact every imaginable vehicle that movex
on runners, ready lor tho demand. Uu
I'ortf.uatcly tho ll.ikcs though coming
thick and fast soon melted away, and
thus the white covering which oveihiid
the ground, had not that durable texture
necusary to create perfect huort. The
past few winters have been anything but
fuvorablo to sleighing, but should there
bo plenty of snow this year.tho sleighing
carnival will eclipso everything over seen
iu Now York. Thero are literally thouS'
ands of people iu this city who will set
up sleighing traps, who a year ago could
not nffurd it. All the brokers aud dash
ing youngsters who drove dog carts and
village carls at the wateriug places last
summer, havo sold these Instruments of
torture and invested in cutters. The
"jcalskin brigade," as the nabobs among
owners of fist horsos are termed, will be
largely augmented by people to whom
tho trotter was known only os a tool,
wherewith you induced your best friend
to bet all his money on your horse aud
then you Bold out to your competitor.
The fact is an immense amount of money
has beeu made in this blessed town of
Gotham, nnd people arc spending it iu an
after-us-the deluge style.
The deluge of course will come, and
according to such prophets as Uncle Eu
fu3 Hatch, very soon. Things looked de
cidedly panicky last week in the Stock
Exchange. Conservative and shrewd peo
ple who watch the sigus of the times tay
that this was the first mutter of the com
ing storm.
The Beauty Show, or lo put it more
elegantly the exhibition of feminine love
liness at Bunnell's Museum, closod last
Saturday, nnd a little girl who used to
earn five dollars a week at the ribbon
counter in a Sixth Avenue dry goods store,
giinod tho first prize 3100. Now that
tho show is over, thero is no harm in tell
ing bow ingenious George Starr, Bun
nell's invaluable manager, "worked" tho
scheme. I was iu tho Museum one eve
ning, and nfter laughing heartily over the
collection of would-be beauties,aud mak
ing a mental note of tho care aud thor
oughness with which two rural deacons
were examining the limbs of the tatooed
girl.I ran across Starr just as ho was urg
ing tho fat woman to laugh more and eat
more ftsrinaceous food, since she was fast
getting too thiu for exhibition purposos.
"What do you think of the beauties?"'
ho asked.
"I think that they all have a great deal
of beauty to get. How iu the world did
you manage iu this city, which is full of
pretty girls and women, to secure such
indifferent samples."
"They aro just the ones we wanted,'
he replied. "Yon must know that our
business depends niaiuly on the patron-
r.go of the ladies. Now supposing we had
hud several genuine beauties, none of the
snido American Mrs. Langtrys, that are
being carted about, but genuine beauti
ful wo iu-n, what would have been the ro-
sul,? Would the women have come to
look nt them? Not much. Their visits
might have given rise to comparisons,
vhich, as you know, are odious. As it
was, there was not a woman who came
here, who did not h-ave with the firm
conviction that if she were willing to
compete she would have a practical walk
over for Urst puze. lne consequence
was that the e.-.iao tigaiit and brought her
friends v.iili hir, and it must not be for
gotten that each of thim voted for some
particular candidate. This was five cents
each trip, "l izness is pizutss,my boy
And now, as a litliug climjx Starr has
hung a new photograph of Mm, Langlry,
in the main window of tho Museum. Un
derneath it isthe legend "The f 100 cash
prize winner to bo sctn inridc." Talk

The picture was thcie, and a beautiful

U.irouy, who is au arlNt, acted wisely In
so dolus. Ho may have believed that,
like Htrephon in tho new opera of Iol

fairy, nnd that the fairy part vas like

Washington Nov. 25, 1882.
Tho Patent Office is receiving numer
ous complaints for its long aud tedious
delays in deciding and acting upon ap
plications for patents. Every man is on-
titled to tho protection of a law as quick
ly as it can be administered, and in the
casn of an inventor, where important
contracts, vital to his interests and those
of the public are pending.to allow his ap
plication to sleep moutl-s on an examiu
er's desk sotni3 an iujustice well wortl y
of puhlio condemnation. l"or the last
few years the surplus revenue turned in
to the Treasury from the earnings of the
Patent Office was iu the neighborhood ol
a mill, on ehll rs, nnd this yeai it will be
much irorj. There exists no valid reas
on why, iu the interest of all that is vital
to the euoyuragement of a class of men
to whom wo nil owoso much, n portion
of these earniugs should not be approp
riated for the employment of au addit
ional force of examiners.
A week ago Washington was apparent
ly destrted. To-day it is galvanized in
to new life by tho first instalments of
humanity incidental to tho approaching
session of Congress. Like a fashionable
watering place iu July, the national cap
ital, from a fclctpy old town of deserted
streets and closed hotels, suddenly springs
iuto importance. Crowds again throng
tho avenues, brilliant colors, elegant y
dressed people, daBhiug equipages of
every description, lively hotel corridors
and the lamiliar faces of national charac
ters, statesmen aud loafers, all remind
us of the near approach of a vtry lively
winter.
It i3 pretty well understood that no
appointments of importance will be made
by tho President before the assembling
of Congress. There is no present ne
cessity lor the filling of vancancies, and
in about three weeks nominations can be
made direct to the Seuate. The most
important places to be filled are those of
the Assistant Secretaries created by act
of the last Congress. Secretary Lincoln,
when asked to-day who was to be his as-
sistaut, remaikcd pleasantly that he had
not the slightest idea, nnd strange as it
may seem there appears little or no dis
cussion of candidates. There is probab
ly no intention ontLo part of any of the
President's Cabinet to resign, if we are to
tako their word for it. Nevertheless, it
is thought altogotber probable here that
this winter will see changes in at least
two portfolios, and theso two the ones I
have indicated. President Arthur is the
min who will do tlio busiuess. It is
possible that thov will be provided for
elsewhere, but tho Treasury and Post Of
fice are wanted, ihe first for some Stal
wart who caii unite the New York Ke-
publieaus against the formidable Presi
denti.il candidate, Cleveland; the second
lor some cue for b.iniilar;rcasons. Brews
ter too, wan'.sto leave, but the Storllonte
case will not permit him. He is upon
his mettle. Tho first trial was a fiasco,
through the treachery and incompetence
of his own de-partment. Ill the midst ol
the demoralization incidental to the
bribery cases Brewster ia har,vsed on the
iusido aud out. To retire uenv is dis-
grao;. Hn realizes this and in his des
peration he has began to mend his funces
by making a sweep of suspected chrk
preparatory to the pusentatiou of his
new cases.
Dr. Collins, of Minneapolis, brother o:
Jerome J. Collins, who was laat with the
Jtunuette party, has lelt Washington for
home. Ho i eiisappoiuted with the at
tempt to bring out the c;mplotcd facts
with reference to the lato of the Jean.
Ectte paity. He thinks there isaatvl
eleut iutentiou em the part of naval ofi
cera lo buh up the affair and lo smotlier
the tiuth about tho matter in uvcry way
powiblc. Tho only way left forjhiui, he
sajf, appeared to be either ask the wit
nesses euch questions as he desired (o
put, or lo fit by and watch the careful
avoidance of overy question which would
tend to elicit such a state of things as ho
has evidence to show exists.
A Democratic member of Congress
from Maryland, discussing the question
of the Speakership of the Hou yester
day, said he thought the Una between
i free traders nnd pruttctiouWU would be
very closely drawn. He' said he would
not be surprised to see a split In the
Democratic party result from the contest '
He said he had not as yet pledged him
self to support either ltandall or Carlisle,
although both werevery able men. He
said ho waa sorry to see Ihe bitterness
that was being' exhibited between the
protectionists and free-traders, and ex
pressed a hope that the matter woul'd'ba
settled without dtsiur'ilng the harmony
of the grand old party. AuorsT.

For vliitors to bo turned away from the
Capitol building is an unusual thing, but
it has daily occurred duiing tho lust week
or more, rather- to the dissatisfaction of
those who happened (to 1)0 jtho ones re?
fused admission. The occasion for it was
iound in the Garfield Fair preparations,
visitors lnterfciiug with the workmen and
rendering necessary a guard over the
many articles of value lying about wait
ing to be placod in position.- All is 'now
about completed, but for two weeks heapp
of lumber and piles of chips and shavings
have encumbered the marble floors of the
rotunda and statuary hall. Squads of
workmen havo been saw ing and hammer
ing under the dome, their blows reverb-
orating with weird aooastlo effeots from
the converging walls. The maroon dra
pert that is to form a background for the
exhibit of paintings covers the entire cir
clo of tho rotunda to n height of twenty
feet, and hides tho large historical paint
ings upon tho walls. A platform four
feet higuhas been built against. the latter,
and many valuable pictures lent for the
occasion have beeu resting on this with
their backs turned to the spectator. This
is the appearance the Capitol has present
ed during these days of bustlo and fix
ing. This will be the fourth time that
the national house of legislation has been
utilized for social purposes. The Cen
tennial Tea Party, iu December, 1874,
under the auspices of ladies interested in
the great exposition at Philadelphia a
year and a half later, was the first occas
ion. In November of 1879' the Society
of tho Army of tho Cumberland, whose
tent had blown down during their an
nual reunion, were permitted to hold
their ball, with which it closed, iu tha
rotunda, cn one of the coldest and win
diest nigbtB I ever saw. The Garfield
Hospital managers held a fair thorp in
May last, aud now comes this exhibit,
on alargcr scalo than any of the preced
ing. Tho President still resides at the Sol
diers' Home and will remain there until
after the assembling of Congress, as tbo
changes in the White House will not bo
completed until the early part of Decem
ber. The fresco artists have possession
at present. The ceiling of the central
corridor and the ceilitg and walls of the
state dining room, red parlor, and bine
parlor are being covered with veryrich
designs In color, Tho people's gold fs
being laid on these areas by the tqnare
foot beaten gold, of course. In the
main corridor both gold and silver are
used with dazzling effect; that is, thej
effect will be dazzling when the chandel
iers are lighted. The state dining room
is going to bo bo handsome, that when.
yon are asked to n state dinuer.nnd,find !
yourself unable lo carry on a conversa
tion with thognesis around you, you can
feast your eyes on the ceiling and not re-1
grot the absenco of your appetite or, the
opportunity to talk. Of course there..
ft'ill be brilliant entertainments nftcr.tbe j
house is again ready for use. Somebody
has recently said that this is a gilt-edged
Administration, because the palings of
the fence areiund tho White House'
grounds aro tipped with gold leaf. When
the new $300,000 addition to the man-
sion is erected we shall have a capacious
nnd presentable Presidential residence. ,
Congressmen and Senators ar,e turning
up by every incoming train, and getting
their houses in order for the winters'
work. Some of them have houses and
some haven't. Those who take lodgings
find that prices have "riz" since last
year, lorseveral weoks the Washington
landlady has been abroad in the streets,
haunting second-hand furniture stores
and renovating old carpets, to make
ready for the Influx that comes with the
session. Itooms of all sorts, desirable
and undesirable, rent for at least oni-
third more than twelve months ago at
least they are expected to rent so much
higher. It used to bo that Congressmen
were considered the star lodgers, and
persons having quarters to let held back
until the advent of Senators and Mem
bers. Now, almost without exception, all
the rich Senators and Members not of a
penurious disposition iiaye tueir own
houses, and the average Senator or Mem
ber who goes around hunting for lodg
ings will stick for the list farthing. They
have thus come to be regarded as rather
undesirable tenants, and persons with
rooms for rent no longer thiuk of holding
back until Congress comes. So many
people of means and leisure coma here
now for tho winter that landlord are
comparatively independent of Members
of Congress.
Some of the correspondents represent
Postmaster General Howe as being en
gaged in devising means to reduce the
revenues of bis department, which has
suddenly become not only self-support-
iug but actually a source of profit to the
Government, Oae of Mr. Howe's sug
gestions is said to be a gratuitous envel
ope scheme; that is, to sell stamped en
volopes for the price of the stamp, the
onvelope being thrown in. But it does
not seem necessary for the P. M. G. to
get oxcited over the fact'that his depart
ment is self-sustaining. It should have
been so for many years past, and would
if it had been properly managed, and if
star-routo frauds, straw bids, and other
swindles had not been tolerated and en
couraged. There is, however, no reason
for being "previous" about plans for re
ducing the net revenues. The present
three-cent letter rate Is as low as any
body can de-sire, much lower considering
the average distances that mails are car
ried in tho United States than is the two
cent postage of Great Biitain. Jn9t
thiuk of tho early elays when postage was
twenty-five cents, or more, and the total
expense of writing a letter to your girl
about n dollar, more or les3. Sweet
hearts were dear creatures in those days."

Moro pooplo havo read Tins Sun during
tho yearjnst now parsing than over b'-foro
dnco It was lirst printed. No other news
liaper published on this side or tlio earth has
boon bought and read In any year by so many
men and women.
Wo are creditably Informed that people
buy, read, and like Tim Sun (uriho lollow
Injr reasons, among others :
Dcciiujo Its news columns present In at
tractive form and with the greatest possible
accuracy whatever has Interest lor human,
kind i the events, tho deeds, and mls-lccds.thc
wisdom, the philosophy, tho notublo folly,
tho solid sense, the Improving nonsense all
tlio news ol the busiest world ut present re
volving In space.
lleeauso people havo learned that In Its ro
marks concerning persons nnd affilra Tin:
Suk makes a practice ol tolling the-m the ex
act truth to the beat or ability three hundred
and sixty-live day In the year, beloro elec
tion aa well as urrcr, about tho whales as
well as the small fish, In tho fucoordlsrent as
plainly and fearlessly as when supported bv
genoral approval. Tim Sitn has absolutely
no purposes to servo, fnvo tho Information of
lis readers aud tho lurthcranco of tho com
mon good.
lleeauso It Is everybody's newspaper. No
man li sohumblo th it ThuSun Is Indifferent
to bis wclfaro and his rights. JVo man, no
as.-nclatlon ofnii-n, Is poworlul'cnnugh to be
exempt from the sirlst application of it
principles of right nnd wrong.
Uccuso In politics It h.istoi!ght for a dozen
years, wltlii-ut InleriiilBslon nnd aomcilmes
almost alono among newspaper?, tho fight

tlnue tei stand liko a rock for tho Inte-ie-sts nl
flio people against the amhltlin ofbpy.es Oil
encroachments of monopolists" and' tbo dis
honest schemes of public robbf-rp.
All tbl Is what wo are told almost daily
by our friends. One map holds that TtiK
Sun Is tho beet relUIous newspaper everpui
llrhed, becauso its Christianity Is undiluted
wlthcanr. Another holds that It Isthe Wet
Republican newspaper printed, Iwause It has
already whipioi hair of tho rascals out nf
that parly, and tho proceedings ugalnat Hie
other hall wlthundcfnlnlshe-d vlg -r. A thlid
ballcvcB It to bo the beat magnzlne orgoucral
literature in rxtstenco, becauso Its leaders
tulfS nothing worthy of notice that is current
In tho world or thought So every friend of
'1 nu Sun discovert ono of Its many sides that
appeals with particular lorco to his Individu
alizing. c
If you already know Tun Sun, you will ob
sorve that In US3 it Is a llttlo belter Hull over
before. It you do not alieady know Tut:
Sun, you will find It to bo a mlirur ol all hu
man activity, u itnrehouso or tbo choicest
products of Ruminon sense and Imagination, a
mainstay for the causo of honest government,
a sentinel for genuine .lcffcrsonlan llemo
