ANOTHER FALsEHooD-The argus bids
fair to maintain its reputation for mendacity.
1t says:
"The Press, after playing all around the
real questions as to the amount Of eXpendi-
lures, is compelled at last to come to the point
and admit that upon Mr.. BoutwelPs figures
we make out our case, viz , that the expendi-
lures were nearly four hundred millions
($3SS, 7S2, SIS 05) last year, instead of two
hundred and ninety two millions, as has been
claimed by the leaders OF the party"
A more shameless, unblushing falsehood
than the above it would be difficult to imag-
inc, particularly in the face of quotations from
our columns showing that we admitted no
such thing. A journal that makes so glaring
a misstatement of an opponents position can
not be trusted to state correctly Mr.. Bout
wells declarations or anything else.
The Argus goes on:
'The appropriations are not criterion by
which to judge of the expenditures says the
Press now. That is just what we have said
often when Blaine and the Press and others
were pointing to the reduced appropriations
as evidence of reduced expenditures"
But you, Mr.. argus, have always said that
the appropriations were below, not above the
actual expenditures. Now if your present
positions are correct the Republican party
must have the credit of expanding in pre-
yious years less that it appropriated or there
could be no unexpended balances of prior APP
preparations. Would it not be will either to
correct your past Misrepresentation or to ac-
knowledge that your present statements are
| incorrect? The argus speaks of our sim
| plicity. We hope we shall always be simple
enough to tell the truth. That is what the
| Argus, we are sorry to say, cannot be accused
Of A journal like the argus whose igur
ing is conducted in defiance of all known
mathematical principles is hardly compe
tent judge respecting the capacity of its con

HALE WAY ROCK LIGHTHoUsE.-The Wash

says the Lighthouse Board has been compelled
under Attorney General Akerman's decision
to suspend work on the Halfway Rock light
house in Portland harbor, Maine. The edifice
has been in course of erection for number of
years, and the interests of the city of Portland,
as well as the mercantile marine, require its
speedy completion. The amount of the unex-
pended appropriation was $4,000, one half of

Two PRUssIAN cavalry men have performed
a most daring feat. Attired in the full uniform
of Prussian cavalry soldiers, and wearing the
overcoaas common to both armies, they entered
Paris by the Northern railway, along with Gen,
Vinoy's troops, without having their nationali-
ty discovered. Upon arriving at the depot
they parted with their fellow-travellers, and
without being recognized left the depot and
continued their journey to the heart of the
city. They explored the city all day, examin.
ed the defences, and had reached the Rue de
Dauphine when they were apprehended by the
police agents and captured They had retain.
ed their full Uniform, and were perfectly cool
and collected when taken. The arrest created
great excitement and mob quickly collected
No violence, however, was offered to the daring

During the fifteen months prior TO March

Revenue receipts were S16o,4o3,ooo. For the
fifteen months after the above date, under
President Grant, the receipts from the same
source were 1921, 2S460O. The increase was
500, $4,000 The people had to pay just as
much before, only it went into the pockets of
thieves instead of going into the Treasury of
the United States. That is specimen OF
Democratic honesty and economy. The ex-
penditures during the eighteen months before
March 1, 1869, were 1928, 765,000. During
the eighteen months after thet date they
were S245,912,000, showing reduction of

characteristic mendacity, persist in asserting
that the public expenditures have not been

places by fragments Of shell, and all efforts
to save his life were unavailing. He was 60

Marshal Mcmahon descended from an ancient
lrIsh family, who took refuge in France with
the Stuarts. His father was personal friend

himself, as usual by his military talent as well
as bravery, and was nominated commander-in-
Chief of the forcesin Algeria. He commanded-
the second corps in Italy and won the battle of
Magenta, which gave him his title and tie
baton of France. He was Ambassador Extra
ordinary at the coronation OF William Ill. the
