a REVENUE ys,A PnoTEcT1yE TAn1FF

In conducting cont1ofe15s VI onS Hti"
ject involving differences Of opinion, the
first requisite 10 clear understanding OF
the merits OF Tho dispute is q correct def
| milton of the terms used TO designate tho
| subject in controversy. And this is pecu-
liarly true in regard to What is meant by a
j "1evenue" and protective tariff. The
! only question On which the members Of the
great Republican organization are at vari-
ance with each other, is the subject Of the
tariff. and this variance would speedily dis
appear--or, at lenst be vastly simplided-if |
both wings could agree on the definition Of |
the terms, ''reyenue tariff" and "protec- |
tive tariff "
According TO an understanding of the
terms, a revenue tariff Is Tar, 1evied by
authority of Congress, on imported prop
esty obtained abroad by tho American
people in exchange for their surplus pro-
ducts, the object of which TAR is the matn-
the payment OF its debts. A tax is defined
to be charge, or pecuniary burden, which
is impressed by authority on the property
Of the people, for the support OF govern
meut. Such is the nature Of taxation aud
of.a reyenue tariff.

THE WAR TOGO ON u.

The armistice which Theirs and
B;smark have for a week or more been
tinkering at, in behalf OF their respect
i've governments, has finally failed, and
in consequence of the arrangement
falling through, the war must so on
The cause of the failure Of negocia-
ton for an armistice is somewhat an
unsettled question but from what
light the dispatches throw upon the
subject, it would appear that the prop
osition was unanimously refused by the
leaders of the Paris government. The
reason was the refusal on the part OF
the Prussians Of the project to revictual
the city, and also because they accept
ed with reserve the scheme Tor allow
ING Alsace and Lorraine to vote for
members of the Constituent Assembly
The Paris Government is generally
supported in her action By the people
of all classes. In the mean time
France seems determined to make the
best stand possible. The Paris papers
announce the formation of three
armies within the walls, and twenty
two hundred guns are in position on
the Notifications. At the last accounts
there was perfect order, and the gov
eminent acting energetically. A uni
versal uprising throughout France is ex-
pected. as it now seems to be the gener-
al impression that Prussia has only
sought to gain,time by seeming to admit
the possibility of an armistice, IN or
der that the troops lat ely investing
Metz could come forward to Parls
without danger.
To the world at large it seems the
the hight of madness for the Frenc II
people to continue the struggle. Their
destruction sesmsdecreed II they per-
eist in standing out much longer.
Their rulers have nearly gone mad or
they would end the war within week,
at almost any sacrifice. There APP
pears to be no enthusiasm for defense
except about Paris, aud from all parts
Of the provinces comes the news that
the people are tired Of the war. The
French leaders, however, fail or refuse
20 understand the action or temper OF
the people. The bombardmont OF
Paris will undoubtedly begin at once
and the siege may continue through
the entire winter. The devastation
and ruin of that fine city Is dreadful
to contemplate.

LYONS, PAST AND PREsENT.-Ly-
ons, in France, is the headquarters of
French radicalism. Eighty years agoi
was citadel of conservatism. 1t was
besieged by the forces of the Republic
in 1892. Although the city survived
IL 900 red-hot shot and $1,000 shells
hurled against it, yet.it was considered
necessary by the National Convention to
destroy it when it fell into their hands,
as a still further punishment for the
gallant resistance made by the citizens
for sixty-three days. A more wantou
destruction of property probably never
took place, and expense fpul ing down
the houses, which afterwards had to be
rebuilt, smouted to no less than $780,
900. The volumes in the library were
used by he National Guard to light the
fires at which they made their co flee,
and altogether the town received a
lesson of Republicanism which seems
to have left upon its memory rather
favorable impression than otherwise

BOLD EXPRESS ROBBERY.

On Saturday last the Central Pacific
and due at Reno at | a. M, arrived at
Verdi, asmaii station eleven miles west,
On time. Just as the train was starting
from the station, three masked men
boarded the express car, and five more
Immediately came to their aid from the
rear cars. These five evidently came
from the eastern train. SIX stopped
Oh the express cal, when they detached
1t from the maIn car, cutting the sig
nal rope, DC. Two jumped on the EN-
CINE, placing pistols to til engineer S
head, and commanded him to move on,
which he did Two brakemen endeavor-
ed 10 kept maskers off the express
car, but pistols placed at their beads
comPesld them to retreat. The conduc
tor ushed forward, but pistols stopped
him. Ftndiug hatchet he came for
ward again IN time TO see the engine
and express car separated from the
train aud flying down the track. The
robbers then placed the firemar and
express and uiaii messengers III the mail
room and locked them up. When
within SIX miles of Reno they
stopped their train, broke open the ex-
press boxes and robbed them of SAL
800 in gold coin. Investigation shows
that they put the coin in old boot tops
and escaped to the mountains A
double barreIed shot gun and a pick
were left by the robbers at the place at
which they opened the boxes. All the
telegraph lines were cut west Of Reno.
Two OF the Western Union wires, how
ever, were repaired by daylight, and
business is not interrupted. Parties
are searching the mountains, and will
probably be able to throw some light
on this bold robbery. During the day,
the railroad wires are still down.

There is to be a lively suit over the
Astor Honse. The otetsons pay $685.
000 a year rent. and their lease has yet
FIVE years to run. The Western Union,
it appears, offered $4,000 year to
VIM B Astor, who because the pres
ent proprietors of the hotel happened
to be somewhat in arrears for rent,
agreed to transfer the lease without the
knowledge of the Stetsons. As soon
as they were informed Of this emphat-
really snap judgment, they promptly
discharged the debt they owed, and in
sist upon their right to keep the house
until their lease has expired. The
Western Union Directors declare that
Astor has fully committed himself to
them, and if they do not get the hotel
they will demand Of the millionaire at
least 100000 in damages.
