REVENUE REDUCTION.

If there il one thing more than an
other that Congress may be depended
upon to do, Il is; to reduce the reve-
nues. For six months there has been
enc continual cry from all quarters
that the load of internal taxation and
import duties is too heavy to be borne
and must be lessened. That this de-
mand will be needed there Is no longer
any doubt. The only fear now is that
too much of the load may be removed.
This nation owes about 81, 200, 0o0,-
I0W; and while there may
lie such thing as paying the debt too
r ipidly, 1t must not be forgotten that
It. must be paid sometime. 1t would
certainly be poor economy to allow 1t
To remain at standstill and content
ourselves with merely paying the in
terest. 1t ought also to be remember
cd that with nation as with an indi-
vidual the best time to pay debts is
when business is prospecting. We can
hardly hope for greater degree of
prosperity as a nation at any time than
we are now enjoying. and it can not
be very unwise to take advantage OF
this prosperity. By removing as much
of the debt as possible ait time when
the taxes for the purpose are hardly
felt, the country will certainly be
placed in much better condition to
stand a long period of depression, such
as is certain to come sooner or later.
1t is always much easier to take of
burdens than I'd restore them, and
while moderate reduction of the rev.
enues may be made with safety, it is to
be hoped that congress will not allow
itself to be carried too far by the popu-
lar cry. Tt would certainly be the re-
verse of wisdom to reduce the revenues
az some have suggested, to an amount
as shall barely suffice to meet the cur
rent expenses of the government. We
can not afford to have the national in
come so curtailed that any little unex-
pected expense will leave US in debt

THE seriousness of Democraticpso
ises of civil service refom will soon
he put to a severe test in New York.
There are eighty offices under the di-
rect control of the governor. These
are at present filled by Republicans OF
experience and of unquestioned integ-
ritz. Will Governor Cleveland have
the strength to fulfill his party's cam
paign pledges by leaving these men in
Office, or will he yield to the cries of
the organized appetite behind him and
turn over the spells to his partisans ?
We earnestly hope that such of our
civil service reform friends as have
Joined the Democratic rsnks through
faith in that party's promises, will
keep a sharp watch On their new allies
for the next few months. Ii future de-
v9opments justify that faith, we
shall be the first to applaud but we
shall also be very much surprised.

The Spy of Atlanta

The presentation of the Spy of At
lanta at the new opera house last night
was witnessed by a much larger audi
ence even than on the opening night.
and we observed large number from
the country.
The story of this play of course
could not be improved, for it is thrill
ing picture of life-like events, too life
like to be less than vastly entertaining.
The plot is exciting, patriotic and SEN
sational, with IA plentitude of relief
points in the way of comicalities, and
when to this is added superior stage
effects i'm scenic sensations, vivid
tableaux, pictures, handsome costumes
and all the glory of panoplied war,
enough is there to attract the pOpu-
| lace.
The cast of characters here has been
most admirably made, but we have
not of course the space to notice
all individually. Mr.. Devendorf in
his character of the laundering, but
patriotic Dntchman, is the peer of any
professional actor we have seen in the
kindred parts. Not only does he fill
the bill of the text of the play, but he
introduces a mass of comical manner
isms that elicit roars of laughter.
l.. ID. DObbs, who has the always
difficult role of the villain, depicts the
character of Edward st. Clair, to per-
fiction. He is the bright, gentleman
", educated, passionate, vindictive
cruel and brave young southerner, as
the occasion requires.
The tableaux were even more de
lightful than before, Though the
young ladies could be no more charm
ing than they were OH that occasion
but the mechanical appliances were
more effective. That feature alone
should fill the house to night AS fol
the object for which SO many of oul
citizens have labored 50 industriously
it needs no argument from us to con
vince all of its praiseworthy nature

A MODEL TOWN

1t does Us good sometimes to see our
selves as others see us, especially when
the view is so favorable as the follow
ing. 1t is clipped from a column letter
to the Kansas City Times of last Satur-
day, and was written by the travelling
correspondent of that paper. We
would be glad to publish the letter in
full, but our space will not permit:
l dropped Off at Lola Friday aud was
surprised to find such progressive
and lively town. lola is the county
seat of Allen county aud is IA town of
about 1000 inhabitants. Situated in
the midst of very populous district,
its business houses are all well pat
rouized and enjoy splendid trudr.
The country surrounding lola COM
prises one of the hest agricultural dis
tricts in the State, and is fast being
brought TO high state of cultivation
and improvement. The town lies
lust east Of the famous Neosho river,
whose valleys are the most fertile OF
any i'm the west. The river at this
point is heavily timbered, and in con-
sequence wood is plenty and Is used
to some extent as fuel.
lola is laid out with a very spacious
park or public square in its center,
whose boundaries are fringed with
business houses and offices, some of
which are built substantially and
tastefully of brick and stone. Some
very large three and four story brick
buildings are already completed and
occupied. while others are in curse
of erection. The town is situated on
the line of the Kansas City, Lawrence
and Southern, and st. Louis, Fort
Scott and Wichita railroads, those two
roads crossing each other at nearly
right angles at this place. In aJdi-
ton to these railroad facilities, there
is every reason to believe that the
Nebraska, Topeka, lola and Memphis
road will be completed beyond here
during the next summer. This Will
give lola superior railroad advantages,
and give the town an impetus the eX-
tent and duration of which can hardly
be estimated. There is, however.
every reason to believe that there is a
bright future ahead for this town, and
the business men already feel that
they are enjoying a trade that cannot
be surpassed anywhere in the west.
A young and prosperous
town such as lola is. lying in the very
center of highly cultivated district,
cannot help but be successful and
prosperous, and it is evident that in
the near future lola will stand without
peer in this part of Kansas. Her
people are energetic and enterprisinT.
and certainly deserve much credit for
what they have already done to max
the town what il is, viz: one of the
best burgs in the west. DENERA.

Tutt,s Pills sugar Coated.

TUFTS Pills are now coated with a
Vanilla Sugar Coating, making them
az pleasant to swallow as little sugar
coated plum, and rendering them as
agreeable to the most delicate stom-
ach. This Is a great addition (were 1t
possible to add anything TO these very
popular and wonderfully efiicaclous
pills) as it destroys the bitter taste and
protects them from changes of climate
thus preserving their virtue in all
parts of the world. The consumer of
TUFTS Pills will doubtless appreciate
this improvement, which has been
at great expense to the proprietor
while the price remains the same as
before.
