DURING October the revenue fell
off 50, 100000. During November
the decrease will not be less than
$5,OOO,OOO. What with the decrease
in imports and the customs raised
from them, and an almost cores
ponding decrease in international
revenues, a still further decrease
must confidently be expected, and
the receipts during the current tis-
cal year will be several million dol
lars less than last year. Mean
while the expenses have not been
growing less. Even in case Of con-
tinued peace, there must be an in
crease Of taxation in order to defray
the current expenses, o: Congress
must enter upon rigid system OF
retrenchment. In case of war, tax.
alton must be at once and immense
ly increased, until the burden, in
the present financial condition Of
the country, would become well
nigh intolerable. These are facts
that deserve to be considered be
fore plunging the country into wal
with foreign power, unless honor
and justice imperatively demand it

Prise Fighting in Iowa.

The meeting in the prize ring be-
tween Allen and Hogan, the Saint
Louis bruisers, about which. so
much has been said in the papers Of
late, came off on Tuesday last, and
on Iowa soil. The place selected
was Pacific City, in Mills county,
about II miles south of Council
Bluffs. The principals and their
hackers started from Omaha for the
battle ground at an early hour in
hacks, thus evading the Sheriff, who,
with two companies of militia, ex-
pected to intercept them at Council
Blnffs. The fight took place at 1880,
A. NJ, and ended in draw on the
third round, in consequence of foul
blows struck by Allen. On the last
demonstration of this kind by the
latter, the spectators broke down
the ring, and knives and pistols
were freely displayed amid much
excitement. ,
It is said that Iowa was selected
for this brutal affair because her
laws are less severe against prize
fighting than those Of contiguous
=
states, merely defining it as an as
sault. If this is so it behooves our
Legislature to so change the statute
as to make the engaging in a con-
test of this character penitentiary
offense. We owe it to the rising
generation that our civilization shall
not go backward in consequence OF
the growth Of the customs and man
ners of barbarism. i

Mark Twain's Active Journalists,


Buf;no has many "reminiscences
of Mark Twain, and of his reinarka-
Bile attempt at publishing a newspa-
per on an entirely new plan. After
his return from the Holy Land (per
Quaker City, Mark took wife and
purchased the third interest in the
Buffalo E:cpress, owned by A. M.
Clapp, Public Printer. They say
that Marks style of newspaper work
was unique. He was not an early
riser, and is as slow of movement as
Of speech, consequently he didn't get
to the Office very early in the MORN
ing. And when there his move
ments were not characterized by
nervous haste. Seating himself in
capacious pivot-chair, his first
move was to deposit his boots in tae
waste basket, and replace them with
roomy slippers. Then elevating
his feet to comfortable cushion on
the exchange papers their only le-
gitimatc use in his estimatlon), it
was his wont to lay back in his chair
swinging himself Iazily on his pivot
and tell stories of wit and wisdom
by the hour to the associate editors.
This was vastly pleasant to all con-
cerned, but somehow it did not work
in the way Of making a newspaper
and at the end Of six weeks Mark
came to the conclusion that publish.
ing newspaper was not his forte
He, however, retained his interest
in the Express for about year and
half, tfongh, rs aforesaid, he did
not take part in the "activc manage
ment" for more than six weeks.

and IN glaring type, he advertised
that che didn't want any more dogs"
And for this advertisement he paid.
Then he went home and posted up
on his door--"GoNE INTO THE CoUN-
TRY" Then he hired a special po-
liccman to guard his property; and
then he locked up and went away
| with his family.
From that day Josephus Buffer
has never been heard to express
doubts concerning the efficacy OF
printers ink; neither has he asked,
s'who reads advertisements"

The Cuban Trouble

The intelligence Of the cold-blood-
ed butchery of the passengers and
crew Of the steamer Virginius by
the Spanish authorities, at Santiago
de Cuba last week, has aroused a
deep feeling Of execration and hor-
ror, which has found expression in
some quarters in a clamorous de-
mand for instant, vigorous, decisive
war, for the conquest of Cuba, and
the Arrangement Of the insult to our
flag. Large meetings have been
held in New York and other cities,
at which the, popular indignation
concerning the atrocious act was
given vent, together with consider
able froth and buster. DESTINATIONS
offers Of money and soldiers for the
conquest of Cuba have been made
by several parties anxious for noto,
riety, and the war feeling has been
stimulated by stock gamblers for
gain. The government, in the mean
time, is moving with all the caution
and deliberation that the gravity
of the subject and it's own response
bility demands. In anticipation OF
possible contingency, the navy is be-
ing rclitted and It's efficiency inn
proved, but before acting in any de-
cisive way affecting our peaceful re-
lations with Spain the administra-
ton is determined to wait until in
possession Of all the facts. In the
meantime the Spanish minister at
Washington has been notified that
his government will be required to
give assurance by the 9th that GER
tain of its orders heretofore issued
regarding the release of estates Of
American citizens in Cuba are be-
ing obeyed, else the President Will
recommend to Congress the assump-
ton by the United States OF the
protection of the lives and property
of its citizens in Cuba.
1t is not expected that the man
case between our government and
Spain will be determined before the
meeting Of Congress, though the ac-
ton of the Madrid government upon
the demand already made will de-
terminc the character of the recon-
mcndations which the President
will make to CONGRESS in his annu-
al message. Those in position to
know the minds of the President
and Cabinet arc confident that unless
very marked disposition to make
rcparation is shown by Spain, the
recommendation of the message
will be of very decided tone. 1t is
understood that two courses have
been discussed by the Cabinet;
first, the unqualified recognition of
the independence Of Cuba, and the
other the forcible seizure of the is
land, and its annexation to the Uni
ted States. The latter result would
be scarcely less deplorable than the
war itself. We do not want Cuba;
our policy is not the acquisition of
territory, and especially such terri
tory, with its attendant turbulent
population and financial and politi-
cal complications. If there be any
other honorable way out of the diff
Guilty, by which our rights as a ma
ton and the claims of humanity can
be asserted and maintained, ii should
be adopted. We firmly believe that
Congress will find way to settle
the matter without war of con-
quest.

ing five miles at this end of the

terson also made the connection
between the terminus of this
road and the Fayetteville and
Elkton turnpike, a distance of
5 miles-which was shortened
l miles by his survey. He rep
resents the people living near
the terminus, both in Giles and
Lincoln, as being fully alive tc
the completion of the work on
this route, and already a petition
has been sent to the County
Court of Lincoln to open a road
across the ridge from JAS. Rus
