The local Money market to-day is only moderately
active, but there is no symptom of an accumulating
surplus of loanabe currency either at the banks or
With the private lenders On the contrary the supply
Is barely adequate to the demand, and the rates cur
rent remain firm but without change.
We quote on call at about per cent. on Govern
ment coHateras, with exceptional cases above and
below that figure. The market is well supplied with
tiTst-cass business paper which is generally taken
at sG9 per cent on the street, and at per cent at
the banks in favor OF customers only, but outside
paper cannot be sold at that figure.

CLEAN FACEs.-Some of the philosophers
have come out against the tyranny Of soap and
water. There is rule in our public schools
by which the children are required to come
with clean faces and to be otherwise as tidy as
circumstances will permit and any one aware
Of how filth spreads disease in promiscuous
assemblages Of children will see the propriety
and Importance Of this rule. But the nice
philosophers who think it is nonsense for the
''masses" to care about cleanliness, set up q
clamor that those who choose to come dirty
shall have the privilege, no matter who suf-
fers, since their children ara safe.

CuLTIvATING MURDER. The city organ Of
moral progress is not satisfied with the present
state Of society in regard to the freedom of
murder. 1t starts airesh with urging the abb

Judicial killing" These fellows have no feel
ing for any killed but those who are killed by
the law. At war with order themselves, they
can sympathize only with its enemies.

The PAY OF OTHER DAYs.--The hardest
life Of service in the United States Navy, and
service in its highest rank, may .entitle man
to be retired for his old age on two thousand
dollars year, and whiskey Inspector can
make half million in one term. Is this as it
should be- The navy officers allowance is
based on the old rates Of pay when money was
in coin and bore far different relation to com
modities from what it does now. Some
change is necessary here.

THE NEWS FROM CUBA.-By telegraph we
have further intelligence from Havana. Cen
eral Quesada, the commander of the revolu-
tionists near Puerto Principe, il reported to
be moving westward upon Villa Clara, and
Count Valmasedas troops are TO be brought
back from the east TO look after him. The
dispersion Of the government at Bayamo
and the naturally exhausted condition Of the
country from that point westward through the
jurisdiction OF Puerto Principe leave little
material for anything like respectable body
Of troops to live upon, and the insurgents
were, therefore, under the necessity Of moving
west. We incline to believe that the revolu-
ton in the east has degenerated into gue-
rilla warfare, and that the result Of General
Qucsada's movement viii depend upon the
disposition of the people OF tho Western Depart
ment to rise and join him. This we shall
know in few days.
