ing Is such that tho depression Of business has
comparatively little effect upon the revenue,
which constantly and largely exceeds the ex-
pense Of Government, Notwithstanding the re-
duction made last year. Only a marked decline
In the imports, or material change in the char
acter of imports, would cause such a change OF
revenue as to alter the financial position Of the
Government materially. Meanwhile the enOr-
mo saes of public lands are constantly SWELL
ingthe miscellaneous receipts, while the supply
of whiskey which must be taken out Of bond
during the present year renders an increase In
the receipts from internal taxes highly prOba-
BILE. Unhappily, the moro important effect of
our financial system viz the defence which it
should mtcrpOso against the injurious effect OF
present greatly diminished by the expectation
of change of policy. Undoubtedly the same
causes which dcpr 50 industries elsewhere would
to some extent check operations in this
country also, had there been no agitation for
change Of duties. But If there had been no
such ag tation It may be inferred with reason
that this country would to-day be In n far more
favorable position, both az to the fiscal re-
sources of it's Government and rs to the condi

TNOTIHY kETEySiR Y,

II il decidedly premature TO say that THE
TnIni,Nr has abandoned" the consideration
of so-callcd elections ut the South. Facts have
been presented which every candid and intelli-
gent mau can interpret for himself. The broad
fact that in some way half the male adults in
five States have been deprived of the suffrage,
We beg people to notice, has not been and can
not be controyertcd. By what means this
wholesale disfranclisement has been wrought,
TIE TRIBUNE has not yet attempted to state,
but believes that the question ought to be thor
oughly investigated. Absolutely no value
whatever, meanwhile, attaches to the declara-
ton of persons wnO want to get office or to keep
Office undcr Mr. Cleveland that they know of no
wrong in the conduct of elections at the South.
Such men merely advertise their Willingness to
SEQ half the peoplc disfranchised without any
inquiry, if thereby they can secure or keep tat
rlnc.s. The places are going to the Democratic
vor,xers: of that there need be no doubt In
ouirv is demanded not in any hope that it will
put or keep any body in Office, but because there
il manifest n deliberate defeat of the Constitu-
tion of the United States, in certain of the
States. which cannot safely be passed without
| investigation.
| II is asserted by some Democrats that in
| Georgia, for instance, the cOlored people do not
vote because they generally neglect TO pay thell
| poll taxes until it is too late that in many
| counties the number Of voting places has been
so reduced that, with few well-organized
| white men to take possession early, the whole
day can b. spent in voting without giving col
| orctl men much chance. These are details oi
method about which the country has right to
know something. Unhapplv, there has been
abundant evidence that violent and bloody
means were employed, years ago, to prevent q
! full and fair vote. If II Is now possible to OBJ
ain the same result by legal tricks, or by mere
threats of renewal of oldtime cruelty, that

tries, it may be noticed, more untayorablY than
the revenue of the United States In nearly all
countries of Europe prominent point oil dis
cusson at this time is the deficiency of revenue,
or the unwilingness of Government to meet
expenditures which seem to be ncedful.
The German Budget is soificially declared mot
satisfactory" the revenue from several sources
having dwinded beyond expectation. Notably,
the decrease in revenue from the beet sugar in
dustry had amounted to twenty million marks,
and the revenue from tobacco three million
marks. In presenting the Budget the Govern
ment stated that it was impossible to expect
any increase of the revenue at present, and
that measures pending, which were expected to
pass, particularly the Pension law and the
Ocean Steamer Subvcntion bill, would impose
additional burdens upon the country. though
the Government did not feel prepared
10 Introduce any fresh measures OF tax
alton, inasmuch as the Rcichstag had
rejected previous proposals. In the discussion
which followed, the Liberals generally opposed
any new imposts, but Prince Bismarck, in con-
nection with another matter, charged that the
members were using free passes on the rail-
roads, and advocated the abolition of tho free
list whereupOl Opposition members asserted
that the Government was trying to prevent the
attendance of the poorer Socialist members of

cussion concerns the credits passing for Chinese

speakers have been describing the operations of
Republican administrations for eight or ten

to have some rOn-clad ships actually completed

PAYING BACK Thn SCOTT LAW TAX.

ErGorernor Charles Foster Of Ohio-rhe action OF tho
Democratic Supreme Court of Ohio in declaring the Scott
law unconstitutional Is serious matter than 1t sp-
pearcd to be at first Tho great revenue derived from
the saloons under ths Law to enrich the police
and poor funds OF the various ctcs and counties Rely
ing this nco me- taxes In nlny of these places were
reduced and In other places bonded indebtedness was
ouidatei Now all the moneys received under the pro-
visions OF this law must be paid back to the saloon
keepers Cincinnati and several of the larger cities will
be- left without dollar for police purposes, ani some OF
the counties will have money for their poor-houscs.
1t will probably be necessary for the Governor to call an
extra session OF the Legislature at once to relieve tne@
towns That will be another of expense to the
State aud In I'LL couaties whore taxes were reduced In
anticipation OF nsxt years revenue from tho scott law

charged, in the presentmcnt, with the respon-
sibility for the existence and continuance OF q
nuisance dangerous to public health. And II
the board is neglectful in so important mat
ter there is reason to fear that many lesser
evils pass unnoticed. This particular nuisance
has attracted public attention through the ener-
es,ic efforts of the women living on Beekman

are raging all through this section.
The season has been unusually dry
and the wind is blowing a perfect
gale from the west sweeping the fire
through the forest with great veloci-
ty and destroying a large amount OF
property. AT Sterling Run, nine
miles from Emporium, several bull
dings belonging to the tannery com
pany were burned to-day and a
large mill was also destroyed. The
village was in imminent danger and
was saved by aid from Renova.
Tive families are reported lost, and
it is feared the loss of life will be
great. At Swissmont, fifteen miles
west OF here, two mills with large
amount of lumber were destroyed.

daring attempt to rob the Medicine

thirty-five miles west of here, in
which the Cashier was killed and
the President fatally wounded. AT
