which would embroil us with Spain. 1t is
likewise true on the other hand that the
question is regarded in Havana from the same
point of view of unreasoning passion with
which the Peninsulars there regarded the Vir-
ginius massacre and the subsequent surrender
of the vessel. The Diario claims that no in
demnity is due because the people shot were
properly executed, after legal trial and SEN
tence; that they were no longer American
citizens; and adduces other reasons for not
paying, which would be good and;sufiicient if
they were not founded in false assertion. But
the claim will doubtless be presented and paid,
in spite of the fact, on the one hand, that the
Cuban ring are clamoring in Washington for
"a more active policy and on the other, that
the fre-eatng Havanese swear that they Will
die before the nation shall be further degraded
The settlement of this matter need have no
influence upon the insurrection in Cuba. The
indemnity will be paid if our Government
firmly and judiciously insists upon it, and
that will end the matter. 1t Will contribute
nothing to the success Of the insurgents when
they learn that the widows of the Americans
killed at Santiago have received q few dollars
of damages, and the fiery spirits of the
Casino are SO accustomed to the play of
violent emotions in their manly hearts that
they can endure this additional pang without
especial injury. The old situation will remain
unchanged Spain cannot subdue the insur-
rection until the monarchy becomes stronger
and more united at home; and we have no
faith in the power of Alfonso XII. to
effect that miracle. Cuba will never be FREQ
until majority of her people unite against
the Spaniards with more energy and harmony
than they have yet displayed.

months Of the fiscal year 1928 show twice as
much surplus as the second six months, while
the first six months Of 1874 give large de-
ficiency and the second six months come In
with surplus considerably greater than that
for the corresponding period Of 1S73 These
contrasts are not to be explained by any
changes in the tax laws No change in the
revenue will explain the fact that while the
period from June to December, 1873,
shows nearly forty-one million dollars
worse than tho same months OF the
preceding year, the six months Immediately
following that period of deficits give sur
plus two millions larger than that of the six
months of 1873 which preceded the panic
The fact that elections were held in NOvem-
ber, 1872, and November, 1874, may or may
not affect tho revenues and expenditures of
the Government. In January a year ago, MIR.
Secretary Richardson urged on the Commit
tee of Ways and Means the expediency OF
doing precisely what Mr.. Bristow is now ask
ing them to do, viz, to raise the taxes so as
to give the Treasury twenty or thirty mil
lions more revenue. Yet the subject was soon
dropped, and the Public Debt, from the be-
ginning of the year to the end of November
was made to show an uninterrupted series OF
monthly reductions, amounting IN the aggre-
gate to $20,376,993 for the eleven months.

ODR CLAIMS UPON SPAIN.

The late revolution in Spain ought not to
have and probably has not, any relation
whatever to the claim of our Government for
compensation to the families of the men muir
dered by Gen. Burriel and his officers at San
tiago de Cuba after the capture of the Vir-
ginius. 1t Is a claim which it would be proper
to press with the utmost energy as well under
the Presidency of CASTELAR, or Figueras as un-
der the monarchy impersOnated by Don Car
los or Don Alfonso. In cases like these there
are no such things as national sympathies to
bo consulted The Virginius had to be sur
rendered by Spain, or we should have had to
relinqush our position among civilized ma
TONS and the maintenance of the American
republic is after all much moro important
matter than the support of republican ex-
pertinent anywhere else. The situation exist
ing between the two countries has not been
in the least changed by the restoration Of the
Bourbon dynasty. Our case is indeed little
stronger than it was, not because there is now
King in Madrid instead of Pres
ident, but because England has already
demanded and obtained the same in
demnity for the British subjects killed IN
Santiago, which we are asking for our citizens.
have declined in vigor of late years in its
general foreign policy, has never lost its
prompt and effective habit of dealing with
small powers WHICH have offended it or
wronged its people. 1t may trife and delay
for while, in the smooth and easy current
of diplomatic communication, with its wordy
statements and assurances of distinguished
consideration, but the time usually comes when
such rubbish is thrown to the winds and the
British Envoy is told to say that such and
such things must be done in fixed time or
he will demand his passports. This has
several times of late years been found the
necessary course of proceeding with Spain, and
it has always proved effectual. The cOnse-
Guence is that England has been paid in the
Virginius case and we have not. But there is
no reason to believe we viii not be. Our case
is greatly strengthened by the payment to
England, and the kilograms of yesterday indi-
cate that the steps taken by Mr.. Cushing with
the new Cabinet of Don Alfonso are to result
in an immediate satisfaction of our demand.
If these promises should not turn out to be
true, it will rest with our Government to
adopt such measures as will convince the
Spanish Cabinet of tho necessity of settling
the matter at once.
1t Ia not worth while to confuse this subject
with the general question of the Cuban insur-
recton 1t is very possible that Cuban resi-
dents and their sympathzers are anxious
for some demonstration from Washington

If the Debt Statements give an honest,
straightforward account of the surplus reve-
nues of the Government in excess OF all dis
bursements, as they DurpOrt to do. why Is
there any talk of increased taxation Have
we not been told again and again from the
floor of Congress that there is to be great
decrease Of expenses this year. computed by
Messrs Dawes and Garfield at about thirty
million dollarsi Is there any sufficient reason
to fear that the revenues of the current year
will fall short of last years by any consider
able sunni On the assumption that the state
ments of the Public Debt are what they pro-
fess to be, and that Messrs. Dawes and
Garfield have been duly seconded by the
Executive in their efforts to cut down the cx-
pendtures of the Government, we cannot see
the necessity for any increase whatever i'll the
taxes.
1t Is, however, most remarkable, most diff
cult to explain on the hypothesis of fair deal
ing between the Treasury and the people, that
Secretary Richardson, having asked Congress
a little more than year ago for an increase
of taxation, should almost Immediately take
the back track that he and his successor
should then for eleven successive months re-
port a steady, uubroken series of decreases of
the Public Debt, amounting IN all to
s20,376902 that Messrs. Dawes and Garfield
at the end of June should assure the people
that the finances were all right, and that the
Sinking Fund would be provided for rs the
law directs; that this fair weather should
last until Just after the election, and that
then it should suddenly be discovered that
great addition to the taxes is necessary, the
revenues having fallen below the expenditures
no less than S3,G59,969 for December and
81, ,30O,S7O for last month or S5OjO,s3S for the
two months.
All the facts we have stated are well known
and the figures are taken from the Debt
Statements the most WILDLY circulated docu-
ments given to the public and the ones which
are studied by the people more than all Others
put together for information touching the
finances. We make no charges against any
officer of the Government or any Congress
man, but we should be GLAD of some expana-
ton which will reconcile the demand for an
increase of taxation with the S2O377OW OF
surplus revenue reported by the Secretary of
the Treasury to have accrued between Jan.
I and Nov. 80, 1874, and the promises OF
Messrs. Dawes and Garfield of increased rev.
enues and diminished expenditures for the
current fiscal year.
