"All the money used by the Government, for any
purpose comes from the pockets Of the people. II
is the toll and sweat Of the laboring people which
supply the Golfers Of the Government" Union.
And it is the dishonesty and profigacy
OF the dynasty of peculators which have
emptied them. Yet the Union and its
friends have uniformly opposed the ad-
ministrations which have expended the
least money, and supported the most ex-
travagant. The men who plumber the
public Golfers, or are responsible for the
plumber, are sustained and defended by the
Union, are vouched for as s'innocent de-
faulters," and WIG Administration is
assalled for not covering up their abuses.
If the Union believes what it says, what
does it think of an administration which,
in three years, added SAC, 900, 900 of pub
lie debt to the burdens of the people. Mr..
PoLK's administration did this. The public
debt in 1S4S was S65, S04, 450. The public
debt in 1915 was S16,801, SAT. The differ
ence is S49,002,703. All this money
must come from the pockets of the people
Who takes it from the "pockets of the
people" We apprehend that the men
who contract the debt are the offenders
Or does the Union call for repudiationl

STRIKING INSTANCE OF PArRIoTIsM.-One of
the most noble acts of disinterested patriotism on
record, occurred in Great Britain in the year 1892
The national treasury at that time very much
involved, much so that project was set on foot
to build, by subscription, several ships of war
which were required for the naval service. The
public, however, manifested considerable apathy
and the subscription papers filled but slowly. Sir
James Lowther, baronet, waited on Lord Keppel of
the Admiralty and, after having expressed his con-
Germ, that the county subscriptions for building
ships of war were not carried with greater spirit
requested his lordshp to present his humble duty to
the king and at the same time 10 request his majesty
too,ad accept Of MANOR WAR, mounting SEVENTY
FOUR GUNS, completely manned, rugged, victualed
and fitted for action the whole expense to be paid
out of his own private fortune. Lord Keppel, as
tonished at such an .unexamped instance OF mag
nanimty, remained for a few moments silent at
length he assured Sir James that the matter should
be Instantly laid before the king. This was ac-
cordingly done, and the proposition was of course
acceded to by the sovereign.
When we consider that the expense of building
and fitting such ship for action could not be less
than $4,000 we may venture TO assert, that a
higher instance of public virtue cannot be found in
history. Great Britain, however, has poorly re-
Quilted this noble act. So far we can learn, no
enduring testimonial was vouchsafed to Sir
James Lowther and the affair has apparently passed
into oblivion. Had such an act occurred in this
country, we venture TO say that the name Of the
bcnefactor Of the nation would have been handed
down TO posterity in an enduring form.-Bos Jour

ISTERNAL IMPRovEMENTs.-We notice that the
people residing at several Of the principal towns
our great inland lakes are preparing memorials TO
Congress, asking for revcrsion Of the policy of the
late President Polk, in relation TO appropriations
for the improvement Of rivers and harbors. The
citizens of Shcboygan, on Lake Michigan, have APP
propriated $500 TO dcfray the expenses Of encral
&. Bates 20 Washington, where he goes with in
sructions TO lay before Congress the urgent neces-
preparation. The people Of Milwaukee are also
preparing to petition Congress for an appropria
ton; and other towns taking similar steps.
These petitions will be accompanied by statistics OF
the growth, commerce, and business Of those towns
as well as description Of the present condition Of the
harbors, and what improvements arc needed. The
present location Of the entrance 10 the harbor OF
Milwaukee is radically defective. We trust that
success will attend these efforts Of western
friends TO supply themselves with the means by
which the resources of that great region be de-
yeloped more readily and effcctually, and that
Congress will lend willing and liberal aid 10 ac-

We are gratificd to see that movement is MAX

that Mr.. Macy may be successful in inducing east

the towns through which the road will pass must

from the Provinces are even more decisive, AS
we anticipated, than the suffrages OF the Pa

had majority of 20,233. and an absolute ma

poIIed for all the candidates. At Bor,leaux
10000 voted for Prince Louis, whilst 5000
voted for Gen. Cavaignac.

reached us, the Prince will have an immense
majority. The Cavaignac votes have mostly
been procured by Government influence. AL
