A late writer on the above subject gives some

from the parish and after their death money il

Philadelphias municipal debt has been vari-
ously stated, and before the recent election, the
Times fell into the campaign way Of habitual-
ly quoting it as reaching seyenty-four millions.
Since that, however, the same paper admits that
the debt cannot be ciphered, even by its own
figures, above $50 500, 900, and to keep it up to
that it is forced to count tout various available
assets, including s5,2OO.OOO in the gas sinking
fund. Deducting the sum, the debt comes down
at least twenty millions below the amount which
the Times talked about 80 glibly in its election
eering articles. Nevertheless it is certain that
the debt is quite az great as it ought to be, and
it is high time to cry "Down Brakes - The
Press, we are glad to observe, is doing 50, and

OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.

Nobody whose desires are worth considering
can possibly want "a war Of the United States
with Spain, or with any other country, even the
very weakest on the the face Of the earth. Nor
has any such desire been entertained, as we be-
lieve, by the President Or by any one in high
authority about him, The President knows too
well the cost OF war to wish to undertake it
needlessly, and the theory that he meant to en-
broil the country with Spain, in order to secure
a third term under cover of the excitement which
foreign war would cause insults him in the
vilest manner. Such crime would exceed any
thing ever known in our history, the sayehold-
ers rebellion alone excepted.
The dispatches from Washington which we
print elsewhere show that the recent negotia-
tions with the Spanish government relate solely
to the greater protection Of our own citizens.
Many of them have been barborously used in
person and estate, by the Spanish
authorities in Cuba, and our government has
now firmly demanded that there be greater
guarantees of justice afforded them. This, it
seems, the Madrid government has conceded oi
is likely to concede. Pending the negotiations,
our navy has been put in better shape, as pre-
concessions We ask, and to which We are justly
entitled are granted, there is no intention to
use the ships for any hostile purpose.
II it could be possible that any one in or neal
the Administration contemplates the possibilit.
of fomenting war either with Spain or with an.
other nation, that person may well pause and b'
assured that he mistakes the temper and pur
pose Of the American people. They desire peac'
abroad, and harmonious re-adjustment at home
To talk of war, with the Centennial year only
few days off, would be al incongruity totally un
parlonable.

How n woman MADE a Fortune.

Six years age Mrs. Mary Ahart was living in a
little tent on the edge of the town. Her whole
worldly possessions consisted of this tent,a straw
bed, two or three boxes which served AZ chairs
and table, little seven or eight-year old girl, and
two cows and calves. She sold the spare milk OF
these two cows, carrying it around town with a
tin pail, and with the product and from work
which she did for her neighbors, supported her.

AMERICAN GOODS FOR EUROPE.

There is no certainty that the sending of cot
ton goods to the English market has yet become
profitable venture, though the quantity sent is
certainly on the increase. With large stocks on
hand and full home market, manufacturers are
willing to get rid or some Of their goods, and
turn them into cash, il no more than the bare
cost Of production can be realized. The English
manufacturers, for many years, sent different
classes Of goods to this country without profit
and often at actual loss, in order to secure the
market, and at the same time to break down our
own industrial ventures, whose competition they
feared.
As we have already said, however, the move
mcnt Of cottons to England continues, and last
weeks expectations from New York showed a
large increase. At the meeting OF the Penn
zylvania Tanners Association, at Harrisburg,
on the 10th inst, there was much discussion OF
be profitably sent to the European market.
Mr.. Plummer Of Boston thought not, and
alleged that 'if we should ship one mil
lion sides of leather to Europe, the American
tanner will not reap one million cents profit from
it," He thought the low rates of interest and
wages, the greater economy with which tanning
il carried on and the greater stability Of cur
rency values gave the English an advantage not
to be overcome. On the other hand, how
ever, Mr.. Mooney, of Louisville, stated
that shipments .of sole leather from
that city had been entirely satisfactory,
and brought the highest prices. 1t had been
sold in Germany and Switzerland and some had
gone as far az Constantinople. He believed
that the great advantage this country had in raw
material would, with good management and
suitable Difference to the wants and prejudicei
of Europeans give us the command of theil
leather market.
In the same spirit, we observe a letter in til,
New York Times, which says that Berlin trunl
maker, repairing the writer's trunk, praised thu
materials, especially the hardware-the locks
hinges, springs, clasps, &c. The writer there
upon solicited small order OF samples Of aucl
materials and forwarded it, since which the Ber
lin party has not only written praising then
highly, but is ordering his goods regularly from
this side, and it is added to show how quickl
such business takes large dimensions, that thu
