The continually decreasing rev.
enue of the national government
under the present tariff and the
steady increase in the national
debt, leaves the coming congress no
option but to take hold OF tariff
matters and readjust them, as be-

versed the order. Revenue must
be increased so as to provide for
the current expenses Of govern.

increased about two hundred mill

The American brigantine Harriet
G., which arrive at Nuevitas week
ago with a cargo OF coal for the
Puerto Principe railway, has been
boarded in the bay and searched
by an armed Spanish force, whose
commanding officer accused the
vessels master, Captain Miller, OF
having brought arms and NUM-
tions for the rebels and struggled
them ashore. Captain Miller de-
MES the charge and as nothing of
compromise nature was discovered
by the soldiers during their search,
he has filed a formal protest before
the United States commissioner

partment at Washington.

STREET IMPROVEMENT.


The notice served by Alderman
Robards upon the council, at Its
yesterday evenings session, that
an ordinance would be submitted
at the next meeting OF council to
bond the city for $4,000, to be in
vested in street improvements, de-
serves attention. The matter is to
be proposed to the voters of the
city, and the responsibility laid
upon them for the failure or sue
cess of the attempt. No one can
deny the allegation made by Alder
man Robards, that the streets OF
the city are in a deplorable condi-
ton. The LIGHT has been harping
on this string for many months.
When it was proposed to sewer
the city, the greater need of some
permanent street Improvement
was set forth, but no special oppo-
sition was made to that movement,
because the need OF sewers was also
accepted, although the manner OF
reaching it was by no means
approved. Now that the sewer
matter is beyond controversy, it is
in order to consider this question
of street improvement. Some
more definite information as to
the character of such improve
ments is needed before any
intelligent vote can be taken upon
the question. If they are to be per-
manent Improvements in the way
OF paving and drainage the city
could not do better than vote the
required sum, but il the money is
to be expended in macadam patch
ing, it would not be wise at this
time to vote the supply. The patch
ing experiment has cost this city
more money within the past eight
years than would have paved the
streets thus patched, and today
these streets are in as bad condi-
ton as before work was expended
on them. II the specifications as
to the quality and character of the
to be made are
forthcoming, 80 that the people |
may understand just what is pro-
posed, then the matter can be dis
cussed intelligently and the people
posted so as to take the proper &C
ton. That the city streets need
improving is without question.
That $4,000 could be expended 80
IS to really benefit the city and
Justify the outlay is also without
question, but it is in order to under
stand in what direction the expend-
iture is to be made before that vote !
Is taken.

Jim Blanchard is veteran prospec-
tor, who tells some queer stories of his
experience IN the west, and when in a
talkative mood is always in demand.
While sitting at the hotel the other
evening he was the center of an in
terested crowd. One of the charac-
teristics peculiar to travellers, in the
mountains especially, being unques-
toned veracity, no one would think OF
casting reflections upon the truthful
ness of Jim'S statements.
He was telling of trip from Deming,
n. M, to Guimas, on the Gulf of Lower
California He was accompanied by
James Hanigan, a Californian. Every
thing went well until they got about
two hundred and seventy-five miles
south of Deming. Here they halted at
q spring. Blanchard tethered the
horses, while Hanigan prepared the
meal. As they expected to make dry
camp that night, Hanigan suggested
that the water cask be reflled. To do
SO, Blanchard thought the handiest
way would be to get the burro close to
the spring and fill the cask without re-
moving it from the burro's back. The
burro demurred and threw Blanchard
into the stream. In falling he tore his
trousers from the hip to the knee.
Having neither needle nor thread, he
took the bark of a willow sprout and
sewed up the rent.
Now. the Mexican willow has pc.
culiar nature, and in the wet season
young sprout has been known to de-
velop into good sized tree over night.
On awaking the next morning Blanch-
ard found willow tree growing from
his leg. The bark which he had
stripped from the sapling had taken
root and sSorouted.
There was stifed gasp heard
among the auditors which seemed to
disturb the speakers serenity for a
moment. He looked inquiringly for
the cause, but not a word was spoken.
Its a fact, gentlemen" he con-
cluded, that there tree got so BANKED
cumbersome in two days that Hanigan
was obliged to chop it down to re-
iieve me. IN. Y. Recorder.
