final census bulletin relating to th
subject. Great care was taken ti
secure absolutely correct figures as fa

nearly every state and territory in th
Union. Texas still loads as the largcs
state territorially , having 202,801
square miles , and Rhode Island is th
smallest , with 1,085 sqvaro mil01
The largest territory is Dakota , will
147,700 , which will bo decreased upoi

CURIOUS CUSTOMS
According to an observing Wash-
ngton letter writer some curious and
Irno-honorod customs , which are fit
ubjccta for congressional Invostiga-
ion have clung to the United States
upromc courE over since its first CD-
nblishmnnt. Most of thoeo are very
ucstionablo , and make demands upon
lie national treasury. ( On this ac-
ount their discussion by the public
unnot bo considered as an unwarrant'
bio intrusion upon the privacy of the
omuro 'gentlemen who wear the som-
ro gowns and drowsily read over
IBCS which are already three yoara
ohind the calendar. Ono custom has
eon the allowance of certain foes to
10 clerk of the court which fro-
uontly aggregate , it is said , $40,000
year , or $30,000 moro than the sal-
ry of a justice. Ono expensive cus-
i in is the exaction of two dollars a
> go for copies of decisions which
; her copyists would gladly write for
in cents n pago. This custom , in the
JBOIICO of the printing of decisions ,
a rich harvest for the clork. An-
; her custom prevents any ono , news-
ipor reporter or lawyer , from writ-
g notes in the presence of the court ,
ith the irosult of forcing all who do-
ro to secure a correct report of a do-
oion to pay the clerk's fees for a copy
it , and to wait his convenience and
casure before Dotting it.
The salary of a justice of the au-
omo court is $10,000. It will sur-
iso many to learn that there are a
imbor of perquisites connected with
o oflice. Custom allows him his
rriago and a body servant. Tim
> dy servants are paid $1,200 a your
' the government. Oustom forbids
0 justice to select his own attend-
its. The newly appointed ofllcial is
ihged to retain the body servant of
s.predecesBoi , and it is not known
at the custom has over boon viola-
d. It is stated that the servants'
rtlis become family inheritances
id no new mor. are over lot into the
ug. If the question is raised wliy
ngroaa has permitted such curious
atoms to prevail the answer is at
nid , Custom has decreed that as
matter of courtesy all bills relating
the court must first bo sent to it
r inspection. This effectually pro
mts any uprooting of these time-
mored customs , which would , it ap-
uira , bo much moro honored in the
each than in the observance. The
gnity of the court ought , doubtless ,
bo preserved , But there seems to
1 a great deal of fuss and feathers in
nnection with practices of a very
icstionable nature which might bo
iry satisfactorily dealt with by the
ngreesional pruning knife.
I'ui IKON KKLLY , who is also chair-
an pf the waya and moana commit-
o , has found himself forced to bow
the decision oftho , republican cuUr
i ] , and has reported a bill to' ' the
house which loaves untouched the tru
on whisky and tobacco , Mr. Kelly ,
on behalf the extreme protectionists ,
had determined to make such a rcduc
tion in the revenues of the govern
ment that any tariff tinkering would
have been put out of the question ,
The republican majority , who wen
scarcity prepared to father a radica
measure of this nature , which woult
have prevented any tariff adjustment
interposed their veto. The result i
a bill which , instead of ditninishin ;
the annual revenue by $70,000,000
takes only $10,000,000 from the receipts
coipts of the national treasury , The
bill repeals all other internal revenue
taxes except the liquor and tobaccc
tax , and that on bank circulation
The only argument for abolishing n
portion of the tax on tobacco ant
whisky was that a greater revenue
would bo yielded by a smaller tax.
No article * of consumption are so
well able to boar tax as those , and the
object in lightening Iho grcsont revenue
nuo derived from their taxation was
too plain to bo concealed. Tariff adjustment
justmont to the disadvantage of a
number of very oppressive monopolies
is sura to come. Mr. Kelly and hie
committee may bo able to retard , bul
they will ere lontj have to yield.
A DANGEROUS MEANCE.
