®lie Nenn. 8. Perk How, Street, Bouton No. M Hub, thoi lxed to ' (or tv •W-W««rtU thante local l4, 1904^ ' fce Tax >atco%—The cigar makers ia some places are ta dag every means to secure a modification of the provision of the tax law which requires every cigar maker to take out a license. The tax Is Represented as exceedingly onerous, and caJciilfl ted to cripple* If not strop, the means vt* subsistence of a large class of operatlvesjiy thro vlng them entirely out of employment/ It app bars that the cigar makers in the East are maki ig efforts to form an asso* elation ol all the cigir manufacturers, through out the entire exten; of the country, pledging themselves for Congress such men only as will heartily < Engage in the work of mod ifying that part of th 5 tax law which'weighs so heavily upon tho trade. It Is true that the tax imposed on cigars ant tobacco ih general Is very heavy, but it we consider tfie high* prices de manded by the deile rr f6r theta luxuries, we cannot buc think thai the pro virion of the tax law intake out a license is by no means too severe, considering the prices of nil the necessaries of 1 ife, and the taxes imposed on commodities with >ut which It is Impossible to keep soul and body together. If the necessa ries of life are’taxbd i i is certain that the luxu_ nes must be taxed ali o, and in greater propor tion. If this tax is dt straying the trade, all we can do is to syinpath ze with the unfortunate cigar makers, jmmend them to hare pa tience from the example of other trades which have been entirely dt strayed during the war, and of which the comj tunlty was in more need. We heartily sympathise with those who suffer from this tax, and we allow them the right to do all in their power to have it reduced; but still if must be confes ted that we want them to bear their share. If tl.e cigar trade 1b not so lu crative at present as il was heretofore, it is sim ply the result of the l lgh prices demanded ior things of which the community stands in need. If the cigar makers cannot realize a large amount of proiit under existing circumstances, it simply piovesthat sen are unwilling to in vest their money in mere luxuries while butter is fifty cents per pouni and everything else in proportion. We dout t whether the. cigar man ufacturers would gain much more than they do at present even if the ax were modified in such a manner that they could raise a considerable pile, if they tr&aeactejd an extensive business, because every cent a man can earn at present must be spent in something mote neceisary than cigars; something, in fict, that will sustain life, and everything else is-out of the question. Volunteering!—Men areiiecoinlng extreme ly scarce, ana consequently volunteering yester day was comparatively (lull. It Is true that a large number or youejg lads offer themselves, and are 4 quite willing to ealer the military ser vice, Out they'are usually rejected as none but etrong, hearty men are now admitted to repre sent Allegheny county in the held. These lat ter have been entirely absorbed by the city quo tas, and only a few are how to be found deairous of volunteering, as the citizens are now In per fect security from any draft whatsoever. Not withstanding this fact, the few remaining Wards which hav% J n6t talked jthelr fall compliment of men, oan And plenty of material t<f do so, and li they continue to work jas energetically as they are doing at the present moment, no doubt they will be able to avert the draft. Important to Coni Consumers —We had occasion to remark, a few days ago, on the ex* pedienoy of Inventing some kind of machinery to dig coal. Since theq we have been informed that something far more profitable to the people has been Invented. It is Bald that a person at Troy, N. has invented an im provement in Ihe use ol coal whioh will dimin ish the consumption n sarly, if not quite, one hair This will lie the Invention of the age, tr realized. Seven stove manufacturers have pur chased thcrright, and about Introducing it into their business. The New York Central and other railroad companies are about intro ducing it on thefrToadsj If this be true the ex panses of coal consumers will be greatly reduc ed, and, in our opinion, a greater blessing could nottbe conferred upon them at the prrsent mo ment. ®he Opera.—The celebrated Italian Opera Troupe, which has met ti lth Buch extraordinary success in our commercial metropolis, will coir, mence its performances in this city on Tuesday night. The Celebrated opera of ••Norma,”- which is generally esteemed the masterpiece of the Immortal Verdi, will be the first to appear, and will wkftaTull chorus and or. chestra. The following popular artists are at - noonced: M’me. Virgln|a Whiting, Miss Fanny Stockton, soprano; M the. Natali Testa,oontral to; SlgnorStefsoi, Slgijor Testa, tenorl; Signor Amodio, .baritone; Signor Bsrull,baiso; signor Nioolas, director and Iconduotor. No doubt those of QiiFcoimuanity+who. are so desirous of hearing some fine singing will avail themselvct of this opportunity and turn it the best account The Wurd.-jTho Fifth Ward, which but & few days ago was 110 far .behind time in the matter of filling up her duota, is at present suc ceeding Admirably. All competition has entire ly disappeared, and they are left nearly alone in the field.* Not more ths n twenty men more are required “by them in order to obtain their ful[ complement, and these, they say, can be raised in a very short space of Itime. Energy and per senerance will always bcj successful under.any circumstances, and as We now see that the en rolled men'of the nfth |Yard are not deficient in either, we confidently hope that they will be successful In th< SoUlm In v -There are quite a number of iers in the dtp at present, and to their ho*. may t be said that they conduct themselves in a very orderly man ner. Wojiodcrstand, that some of them have not as y4f received their pay nor the arrears of their bounty money, and consequently they hod themselves in a lify bad position, now, when a men is emphatically measured by his money. We hope that the.* will auoceed in calling the attention of the military authorities to tbelrcondUion in a pe< uniary point of view, and that they will be pa Id off without further delay. Democratic Meeting.— The Allegheny Club held *a public meeting lest evening. The meeting 'tea* largely attended. Several new members enrolled their names ly the club, and Mr. John Pleonner was elected Secretary vice Mr. John Fowley, resigned.

I Increase of Salary .[-The teachers of the publio schools of this city have petitioned the Central Board of Education for an Increase of •alary.

It is a National Savings. Bane, offering the higher rate of interest than any other, and tkc best security. Any savings bank which pays its depositors in U S.
