receipts of the government for the
fiscal year ended July 1st, were as
follows From customs, $2l9, 900 f,
600, from internal revenue, $780,
600 900, from miscellaneous survey,
$35 900, 900, the total being $685.

ditures were Ordinary, $135, 00O,-

$45, 900, 900; premium, $4,000, 900,
aggregating $3.50, 100000, or ST.
600, 900 more than for the year be-
fore. The excess of receipts over
expenditures was $4,000, GOO,
against $103, 100000 the previous
year. The expenses of the govern
.ment are as high as it is possible to
make them inside the lines of de-
cency. Wherever any place can be
provided by which man can draw
pay, it is done, and the pay as rule
is high--much higher in fact than
the men who occupy the offices
could obtain in private life. There
is absolute recklessness in the APP
preparations, money being voted
away by millions, many of those
who vote it away having only yag-
ne idea of the purpose to which it
is to be put or whether or not the
object is worthy one. They know
that the treasury is overlooking, and
think that extravaganza can be IN
dulged in without hurting anybody.

WHY You Feel

So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. AS well expect the
sanitary condition OF a city to be per-
feet with defiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such a compli-
Gated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes tliros gl the heart and lungs in
about two and half minutes, and that
on IT'S Way, it makes bone and muscle,

THE PRIZE RING.
An Australian Colored PuglIist Defeat

An Australian Colored Pugllist Defeats
an American Fighter.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 25.-The fight
between Peter Jackson, colored champion
heavy weight of Australia, and George
Godfrey, colored pugilist of Boston, which
occurred last night, had been looked for
ward to with great deal of interest in
sporting circles for more than month,
and the rooms of the California athletic
club were crowded when the men stepped
into the ring.
The contest was under the Marquis of
Queensbury rules for a purse of $4,000.
Hermon Cook, of this city, acted as referee.
The great difference in the size of the two
men was very noticeable when they faced
each other in the ring. Jackson appeared
to be three or four inches taller than his
opponent, and weighed 30 pounds more
Ia addition to this, his long reach gave
him an advantage which Godfrey could
not overcome, and, with few exceptions,
the hard blows which he aimed at the
Australian fell short. Both men openet
the fight with rush that was maintained
until the close.
The only knock-down occurred In the
second round when Jackson upper-cut bis
opponent and sent him to the floor.
In the first ten rounds Jackson hae

POLITICAL POINTS.

Mr.. Blaine has not yet mentioned Mr..
Carnegie and his four-in-hand coach as
examples observed by him abroad of the
benefits of our protective system. This
is base lDgratitude.-Bo Herald.
When Mr.. Blaine was arriving in New
York Senator Sherman was on his way to
Manhattan beach. When Mr.. Blaine
started for Manhattan beach Senator
Sherman started for New York. This is a
playful way which some great statesmen
have of showing that everything is en-
tirely harmonious between the NJ Chi
csgo News.
The outlook for the farmer, burdened
as he is with the tariff, is not a very
promising one. If he has any thing left
after paying his bills he will indeed be
fortunate. The people must have relief
from the burdens which the high protec-
tive tariff and trusts impose upon them.
They can stand a good deal, but their en-
durance and pockets are rot equal to all
of these extraordinary demands upon
them-Des Moines Leader.
Here is one serious trouble with the
present position of the republican party
on the tariff question. 1t is a position
which is false to the teachings of its own
great leaders. The way of the trans
Qressor is hard. The republican party
has forsaken the teachings of Grant, d
Arthur, Of Garfield and of its other grea
men of yesterday. It is straying il
strange paths.-Chicago News.

THE APPROPRIATIONS
Why the Amounts are Larger This Yeal
Than Last ear.

Why the Amounts are Larger This Year
Than Last Y ear.
WASHINGTON, August 25.-There has
been considerable comment recently in
the press on the large increase of the ap-
preparations for the current year.
This increase is accounted for without
any imputation of extravaganza. There
is no increase in the legislative, executive
or judicial bills, nor in the Indian or
postal services.
Last session there was no river and
harbor bill, owing to the presidents
pocket veto, and of course the amount of
the bill Unsurpassed, $22,O00,OOO, is so much
an increase. The general deficiency bill
failed last year to become law, and the
deficiencies amount this year to $16,OOO,-
900 or $18,0O000O.
There is some increase in the sundry
civil bill, such as the appropriation for
charging the postoffice department and
the construction of library, etc. The
pension bill has run up one or two mil
lions. The naval bill contains liberal pro :
visions for the increase of the navy de-
manded by public sentiment and the
army bill, though not yet passed, pro-
vides $35O0,00O for heavy guns. The
increase in the appropriations are all
called for by the public interest, and are
easily defensible.
The army appropriation bill has been
arranged in con Inference with provision
for $3,5OO,OO0 for the purchase of steel
to be manufactured into guns at Water
Welt arsenal, New York. The bill also
appropriates 100000 for the construc-
ton of an armory. The members of the
house appropriations committee say
that this sum of $3,500,O0o cannot be
expended for four years to come, and it
will take three or four years to complete
the armory, and that $1,5O0,0O0 for the
purchase of steel is enough.
Senators are growing very impatient
of the practice of extending the appro-
priations, and say they will decline to do
it hereafter.

Imported Labor.
rom the New York Times.

Among the manufactures who have
loudly proclaimed their anxiety for the
protection of American labor by duties
which would enable them to charge high
prices for their products and make large
profits for themselves are the Barbours
who have fax mills at Paterson, N. j. L
appears from evidence given before thu
congressional investigating committee
yesterday that these same ,Barbours have
been engaged, in violation of the United
States law, in importing girls
from Ireland under contract to dc
their work at lower rates than
american labor" costs. There
are many cases of this kind where manu-
facturers are constantly trying to break
down the american standard of wages
by bringing cheaper labor from Europe
and then crying out that the duties which
add to their profits must be maintained for
the protection of "American labor" This
transparent hypocrisy can hardly deceive
the workingmen who help to pay the ex-
ira profits of protection, but get no bene-
fits from it in wages. The unwillingness
of some of Barbours' girls to testify to
facts shows that they could not deny that
they were brought out under contract and
that they we're afraid of losing their
places if they admitted it.

Land Settlers Irritated.

TRINIDAD, Col, August 25.-J. W.
Lewellyn, who is digging an irrigating
ditch on the lands purchased by the
Stonewall Summer Resort company from
the Maxwell grant, was notified by settle T;
that he should not pursue the work.
Llewellyn sent to Trinidad ftr arms and
ANN unition, and will disregard the threats
against his life. Randolph, himself al
old settler at Stonewall, but who occupies
a ranch under lease from the Grant con.-
pany, wrote a letter to Sheriff Burrels
here that 100 settlers had notified his wife
during Randolph's absence from home
that both himself and wife would b'
hanged unless they should leave at once
The sheriff has sent special deputies t(
the scene to endeavor to keep the peace
Ejectment suits are being prepared

armed and say they will resist. COLI
