MonE TAxEs.-Bismarck announces frank
ly that new taxes must be imposed on the
German people This is natural result OF
Germanys military policy. A million OF
men cannot be kept under arms for nothing
Our little army of $4,000 give. us great
deal of trouble, and eau es many debates IN
congress. 1t costs us, one year with another,
about $500 to mau. The German army Is
nearly forty times as large, but is less expen-
siye Der man. The Atlantic Ocean on one
side and the Pacific on the other. save us a
good deal of money. No formidable enemy
can reach us exceptaeross one of these oceans
But Germany, in the heart of Europe, with
France sullenly biding her time, has no Sc
curity but in large standing army. This
entails taxes, which in the present industrial
condition of the German empire cannot but
prove oppressive. Germany has not escaped
the industrial depression which has been so
widespread in the last three or four years,
and the outlook for her manufacturing IN
terests is not bright. The inventive genius
of France is proving match for the patient
industry of the Germans. A demand Tor
higher taxes in these times would shake a
more powerful minister than Bismarck.

The SILVER BILL.-On the 2Sth, the
Fraudulent President sent in a veto OF the
silver bill, and in the course of his argument
against it, the monumental fraud of the age
pronounced the act as it passed both Houses
of Congress fraud. To evince their con-
tempt for the veto and its author, the house
Immediately took up the bill and passed it
by majority of nearly three to one over the
veto. In tie senate similar proceedings
were had, and in less than two hours after
the veto message was read, the bill had be-
come the law of the land, and was so certif-
ed to the secretary of state. The law as
it stands provides for the coinage OF the dol
lar of 4l2as grains of standard silver, which
shall be legal tender at its nominal value
for all debts and dues, public and private, ex.
cept when otherwise expressed and stipulated
in the contract: for the purchase of silver
bullion by the secretary of the treasury. at
the market price, of not less than $500, 0OO
nor more than 4, ,OO0,O0O worth per month, to
be coined each month-the government to
have the gain or seignorage that any holder
of 4 sum in silver not less than ten dollars
can deposit it with any assistant treasurer OF
the Uuited States and receive therefor GER
tificate, which shall be receivable for customs,
taxes, and all public dues, and may be re-is
sued and for an international conference
With the countries of the Latin Union and
other European nations, within the next SIN
months, to adopt a common ratio between
gold and silver, to fix the relative value and
international rates of each as money.

JUMPING LAND CIAiMS.-Amid so much
and so good land as there is open for settle
ment in this section Of country, it would
seem that well disposed persons could easily
select claims that would not interfere with
the vested rights Of others, although those
rights might apparently be held by feeble
tenure. But such is not the poor human
nature of class of men, who appear to envy
The selection of some Others who have made
prior selections under the impression that
because these selections have been made by
others, they must of necessity be the best
that could have been m:de, and they will
watch and hang around to see If they cannot
take some technical advantage under the
pre- emption and homestead laws, and seize
upon the selections made by Others, and get
away with them. To them "stolen waters
are sweet" They seem to have no respect
for the labor and expenditure placed upon
the claims, so long as they can trip former
claimant and cause him to lose his right.
They are land shysters, and generally will
make no good citizens in any community,
and locks, bars and bolts become essential
elements i'll all communities where such char
acters reside. On the other hand as the
government has literally provided the terms
and conditions for taking up and perfecting
title to the government lands, it behooves
claimants to comply with those terms in
their true spirit and intentions. and not seek
TO obtain title upon a doubtful footing. No
man has the right TO attempt to hold land
and exclude others therefrom for a term of
years beyond the time allowed by law unless
he has the title in himself. Il is a species
of arrogance and covetouSness that ought to
be frowned down in every community, and
VIII be rebuked by the land office department
IN every instance, as it should be. 4 hint
to the wise is sufiicient-TeiycT

Az ENGLIsHMAN's VIEwS.-An English
gentleman, who has been sojourning for
year in the South, writes home to the London
Standard his views on things generally. lie
thinks that freedom was a fatal gift to the
Southern negro He holds that ten years
experience has satisfied the freedman OF
several things: /. That he cannot succeed
his former ..old master as planter and pro-
prietor. and become the master IN his turn.
>. That he has not the requisite self-eom-
mand and saving grace necessary tor ac-
culnulation, and that even planting on shares
with some white proprietor, instead OF re-
eeiving wages for his work, always leaves
him penniless, and worse than penniless, at
the end of the season. 3. That the new con-
dition of freedman or freedwoman imposes
ON him or her the new duty and care of the
picaninnies, or little ones, who used to be
cared for by old master from mingled mOti' es
of humanity and interest. For the negro,
unhappily, resembles that other African
mother, the ostrich, in disregard for its
young, and infanticide has become fearfnlly
common since that charge devolved upon
them. 4. After the brief satunalia of negro
and c rpetbag rule in the unreconstrueted
States, brought to an end in most OF them
FIVE years ago, and recently suppressed IN
the last States, where, by grace OF General
Grant, it still fingered, the freedmen found
that politics did not pay.

HAYES Is IRGIT,rEp.-The Pres; ,clt Is
unusually irritatoi and rettled h. the sum-
mary disposition of his veto He said to a
silver senator tha. he did not expect such
indecent haste. He did not suppose that
two-thirds OF congress would forget wlat
respect was due the executive. The Senator
replied warmly 'Some of us in congress,
Mr.. President, consider our conduct quite as
respectful TO you as your conGuct Ill vetoins
the bill, which more than two-thirds OF the
representatives of the people demanded
should become a law: and You must have
learned by this time that congress does not
pass bills for the executive TO play with ;"
A congressman who has held close relations
with the president criticised to him yester-
day, the part of the veto message relatinSto
fraud, and said it sounded like newspaper
editorial written by a Wall street broker.

SYMrArHISEE.-Word comes from Wash
ing.on that Hayes docs not Intend to inter
ferc with the prosecution of the Louisiana
returning board villains, unless he shall be-
come satisfied that the state authorities will
refuse 10 give them a fair trial. The only
one of them yet tried, the felon Anderson,
Hayes collector of the port of New Orleans,
has been convicted. The others cannot cs-
cape conviction if they are fairly tried. But,
In any event, whether the state court does
or does not fairly try Them, what can Mr..
Hayes do about it. He has no right, even
though he Were honestly the president, to
interfere with the state courts in the admin.
lstratlon OF justice His perturbation over
these trials IN Louisiana discovers how much
he drcahs the investigation which can have
but one ending, So far as concerns himself
which is TO prove to the world that he holds
the executive chair by an enormous fraud
and that he was personally party to it.
And MS secretary OF the treasury. John
Sherman, his friend Stanley Matthews, and
Others, were similarly accessories TO the great
crime. Exposure and obloquy await them
