1t is conceded that there must be an
increase ia the revenues OF the govern
ment and how to secure it u the qucs-
ton. 1t is reported from Warrington
that the commissioner OF internal
revenue under Instructions from the
president will recommend 10 his report
to Z an Increase in taxes upon
beer aud tobacco aud the Imposition OF
new taxes upon other articles in the
shape of stamp taxes. The Philadelphia
Press, which is a republican high tariff
paper, in comn onting upon the propo-
eitio1. says: "Ihere should be d positive
| refusal on the part Of the new republi-
can congrose to authorize any new reve-
nue. excepting by the enlargement of the
tariff duties by restoring the repealed
Mckinley duties upon woods and manu-
features thereof. The coming session Of
congress will be guilty Of the betrayal of
a trust coutided to il by the people if it
shall consent at Mr.. Clevalanu's dictation
to an imposition Of another dollar Of
direct taxation on the industries OF this
nation. If the president will not agree
to an advance of the customs duties, he
should be resisted by congress to the
bitter end. for there is nc reason why
President Cleveland should be permitted
to have bis way in opposition to the will
Of the people who elected the present
congress-, because the nation desired tC
repudiato him and al that be stands
for"
While a portion of the article may bt
open to criticism from Il democratic
standpoint the concluding paragraph
should meet with hearty approval al
, over the land. The time has come wheI
Z the d%ogmatism Of Cleveland should hav,
A a pronounced Tebuto. He has set U
his will against that of the people; b
: has p]rostituted his official power to ac
! comulish his ends; he has detied and IL
nored the platform upon which he wa
g elected and has assumed to tnow NOR
e than the tried and trusted leaders of tn
@ party. He did manage oy threats I
e strangle the democratic majority in th
last congress-. The republican congre'
10 about to convene should sit down upc
him hard.

The Cuban rebellion is getting inter
esting. News of rebel successes and ac-
cessione to the rebels are reaching the
world daily by the underground tele-
graph ii spite of the press censorship of
Gen. Campos. Next comes a sensational
story from Washington to the effect that
the navy department is actively engaged
in preparing ships for service with the
probability of their being used at an
early date AGAINST Spain; and the latest
report is that the Mexican government
has decided to recognize the belligerents.
Amid all these rumore be they true or
false, one thing is certain, and hat is
that the plucky rebels are holding their
own on the island and are making it
more interesting for Spain than OIL any
previous uprising. There can be NJ
doubt but that with a little outside aid
the present revolution would soon cul-
inmate successfully.

the people take heart. In spite of all
the adverse circumstances free coinage

A Texas state judge has decided that
there ie no law in that state against prize
fighting, and the athletic club, the bruis-
ers, and their aiders, abettors. and pro
spective witnesses are correspondingly
happy. 1t is Just as vel! that such is
the case. Prize fighting is no doubt
brutal, but 1t will be INDUCED in in spite
of law. Therefore il lie not out of place
to permit it, even though it be not legal

One Of the peculiarities Of the congress
of the United States 10 that il is at some
period of every session afflicted with tho
disease of alleged economy and while
suffering with the malady does some re-
markable acts. A case in point occurred
during the last session whom the army
appropriation bill was pared down to
such an extent that the fund for the pay
of officers has already become exhausted.
For this there can be no excuse. The

In the current number of Harpers'
"round table" appears an editorial article
addressed Ito school girls" 1t contains
the usunl advice in regard to punctual-
ity 6tudious habits and other virtues,
and concludes: School books should be
laid aside as you leave them for other
and more advanced booke, neither given
away no parted with out of the family,
though you may allow Il younger brother
or sister to use them, If you choose.
By-and.by you may be glad to have your
school books to refer to, and you will
find that they are as useful as much
larger volumes, and easier to keep ut
hand; they have been prepared by
learned and thoughtful experts, and
have the advantage of being carefully
condensed. After your school life is
over you will very much enjoy The pos.
session of a shelf full Of text books, once
your daily companions"
This statement may be all right ir
New York and other sections, or it may
have been all right when the author o
it was a school girl or boy. but it docs
not apply in Montana, as All examinatio,
of the tex books in use will prove. Gu

Other Figures.

Next Saturday, Sept. q, from 8 a. m.
to 6 p. M, a special election will be held

able property in the district shall be
raised to maintain the schools of said
district during the school year com
mencing Sept. 8, 1895, and ending May
81, 1896.
The amount Of money proposed to be
raised is the sum of $4,000. The pur-
pose for which the board of trustees of
said district propose to use said money
is to maintain the schools of said district
for the school year beginning Sept. 8,
1895, and ending May 81, 1896.
Clerk Garfield of the school district
has made an estimate of the expenses of
the district for the school year of 1895.
sc, based upon the expenses of last year,
as shown by the books of his Office. The
figures are correct and may be verified
by the books from which they are taken.
However, they provide for only nine
months of school; heretofore ten months
of school have been held, and this term
has been found none too long for the
course of study.
The estimate shows that the expenses
during the ensuing year will be as
follows:
