OF Italy, by l,4OOOOO tourists In 1873. Ut
these 100000 came from Germany and
Australia, 100000 from England, 100000
from France and $4,000 from the United
States. The foreign travel is estimated
to pay the Swiss 100000 annually.
THE Kansas Relief association reports
that $4,000 negroes have fled from the
oppression and wrong they had endured
in the south and taken refuge in Kansas
within the last two years, for whose re-
lief $6S,OO0 has been received. The as
ISOLATION now wants funds with which
to buy lands for the refugees, but pro-
poses that National Relief association
be established at Cairo, ILL.,, which shall
send the poverty-stricken into the older
states, and sift out those able to buy
lands for Kansas.
THE National banks, since their or
ganization, have paid to the United
States government $15S, las, 734 in taxes.
The same banks pay. in addition $780,
100000 year in state and municipal
taxes. The object of the Democratic
funding bill was to kill the goose that
laid the golden egg,b but unfortunately for
them, and fortunately for the country
President Hayes was equal to the emer-
gency and his little veto thwarted their
intentions and the best banking system
the world has ever seen still lives.
ALL the regular appropriation bills
were signed by President Hayes, and
therefore have become laws. The ap-
preparations in the deficiency bill as it
finally passed were increased above the
amount originally appropriated by the
House by agreement Of the conference
committee in several particulars. The
bill apprOpriating $4,000 for the benefit
of POnca Indians also became law.
The apportiOnment bill, which passed
the House late Thursday, was not acted
upon by the Senate, and therefore failed
to become law.
The horrible cruelty of lynch law is
painfully illustrated by the fate of a
young Baltimore lawyer and his servant
who went to Colorado recently on some
legal business. The dreadful news has
Deen received that both have been hang
ed by a vigilance committee, charged
with having stolen mules. 1t turns out
that the;animals found in their possession
had been stolen and that Mr.. Wright had
purchased the mules without knowing
them to be stolen. There may be places
and circumstances which warrant the
existence and the deeds of vigilance
committee, but when it comes to she'd
ding innocent blood, as i'm this instance,
it is high time that the law should take
cognizance of the outrage and bring the
organization to full account.
OF all "the worst storms" of the sea-
son that has so far occurred, that of the
entitled to bear off the palm. From all
over the great northwest come accounts
Ofiit having ragged with unexampled force
and duration. In Wisconsin it put a
complete embargo upon all railroad
business and for over twenty-fOur hours
it is said, not train moved and bust
ness, of all kinds, was generally suspend
ed. In Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois the
state of affairs was much the same
snOwdrifts covering the houses and it
was feared much suffering would be en-
tailed. Throughout Michigan the storm
was severe and trains upon the differ
ent railroads badly delayed. The snow
was unusually damp rendering it much
more difficult to remove and clean the
tracks.
