In referring to the fact that the de-
crease in our importations will materially
affect the revenues Of the government,
thereby rendering reduction of the public
debt improbable during the coming year,
the New York Times says; " 1t should
be remembered that the debt of the United
States is by no means the formidable burden
which we found it, say 10 1866, The actual
diminution during these seven years has
been large amounting to over $3.50 ,000,-
600 but the weight of the debt has been
even more rapidly reduced by the rapid
growth of population. On the $4,000
600 which may be accepted as the popula-
ton Of 1866, the debt was equivalent to
burden of SSl per head, We began this
month with a debt of $3.50, $50, 053, and
our population is now probably Il 800, 900.
On that number the debt presses with the
relatively light weight of s5l per head.
The national debt of Great Britain is equal
to a charge of 1924 per head of the popu-
lation, and that Of France is equal to
charge of SIPS per head. The nominal
weight Of the debt of these countries is
therefore more than double that of the
United States, and considering the greater
difficulty in earnings dollar in the old coun.
tries than in the new one, the real burden
is at least three times as great. The check
upon the reduction of the public debt, due
to bad trade and extraordinary expendi-
lures, need hardly, therefore, excite any
special amount Of disquiet"

Another call Tor United States pro-
tectorate is imminent. Colonel A. i.
Steinberger, the American Commissioner
who was sent out to Upolu, Navigator
Islands, on special service by the Gov
eminent, is now on his way to Washington.
1t is said that his mission has been emf.
nently successful; that be has gathered
authentic information on all points de-
sired and that he reports that the request
Of the natives, especially Of the Pagopago,
Sawea and Tutuila groups, for United
States protectorate, has been unanimously
renewed, and, in the hopes Of getting it, a
provisional government has been formed by
the natives, and laws established. A Uni.
ted States protectorate over the Islands, it
is represented, would be the means Of the
conservation Of the Samoan people and Of
their future progress Colonel Steinberger
also reports that either the harbor Of Pago-
pago or Tutuilla would make a desirable
naval station.

The House committee on education
and labor has agreed to report to the House,

aud that the distribution Of this fund to
the several States aud Territories shall DO

Once more the Mississippi politicians
have something to worry themselves over.
According to the constitution of that State
the Governor and Lieutenant Governor
must have been citizens of the State for
twenty years. 1t now comes to the surface
that a. X. Davis, the Ames Lieutenant
Governor, has been a citizen only since the
emancipation proclamation of President
Lincoln, aud is therefore not entitled to the
honors won after so hard a fight. What is
going to be done about it has not yet trans.
PRED, but just now it looks as though the
people would have to find substitute for
Mr. Davis.

Britain refused to dsulge his name, and
the affair was at once shrouded in entire

The attempts Of the authorities to force au

test Of some questions in which we all have
an interest The police having failed 10
the attempt at an investigation, the case
was given over to the Grand Jury, who

refused to do, on the ground that bis an.

he declared that he did not know his assail.

whether the victim Of a brutal outrage
has the right to conceal the name of the
perpetrator, or the public, in the interests
Of justice, the right to demand it.
