How It should Not Be Done.

The government isn't raising money
enough to pay its current expenses,
and has been borrowing. 1t must now
raise more money in some other way.
or else borrow again. The republican,
and for that matter the American. way
to raise revenue is by means of indi-
rect taxation; that is to say, by the
tariff. But people say, don't change
the tariff now even on two or three
items only, because it will disturb bust
ness. Very well then; don't change
the system of internal revenue taxa
ton either. to raise money enough, be-
cause that will disturb business, too.
Neither must you raise money by bor-
rowing, because that will disturb bust
ness still more.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE WAR IN CUBA.

HAVANA, Dec. 26.-Further details
reached here yesterday from Matanzas
OF the rapid advance of the insurgent
army, numbering about $4,000 men,
upon Havana, after forcing its way
through the province of Santa Clara
and the province of Matanzas in spite
OF the efforts of Capt. Gen. Martinez de
Campos and about 80, 600 troops at his
disposal in the territory traversed and
invaded.
The reported important battle be.

and the insurgents at Coliseo planta.
ton, IL miles from Cardenas, does not
appear to have been q very severe en-.
gagement Cardenas is seaport OF
1000 inhabitants; is only 81 miles from
Matanzas, capital of the province OF
that name, and the largest town be-
tween Cardenas and Havana.
The Spanish forces do not appear to
have encountered the main body of the
insurgents, as at first announced. The
fight at the Coliseo plantation was be.
tween the northern column of three
insurgent columns now pushing
through the province Of Matanzas. and
instead of turning out to be a great
victory for the Spaniards the result
OF the engagement was virtually
defeat for Campos, for the
Cuban army pushed on unchecked
and is still advancing on this
city. The fighting took place amid
burning cane, underwood, tall grass
and trees, and was of the usual guerrilla
nature. At times both the troops and
the insurgents were surrounded by
walls Of flame and the smoke was SO
dense over certain portions of the
ground contested that the Cubans and
the troops were unable to see each
other, and kept banging away at open
spaces, wasting vast quantities Of good
ammunition. 1t is true that this in.
discriminate firing was more noticed
upon the part of the troops than on
the side of the insurgents, but for one
insurgent killed at least 1000 shots
must have been fred.
The Cubans, following their custom.
airy tactics, seemed to melt away in
the distance as soon as the troops got
within sighting distance of them, and
nearly all the firing was at very long
range, although the soldiers made sew.

ing territory. This style of fighting is
termed a defeat of the insurgents, but
as they succeeded in accomplishing
their object, holding the Spaniards in
check while tho Cuban army pushed on
southwark, the result was really q
Cuban victory.

DRIFT OF OPINION.

UNow that Mr.. Cleveland seems to
have a sudden patriotic feeling, he
should still further commend himself
to the American people by promptly re-
calling Ambassador Bayard.-Toledo
Blade.
ORepublicans who have taken hold
of affairs in Kentucky are compelled to
begin operations with an empty treas
ury, but this is an easy job compared
with the one to be tackled in Washing
ton in 1897. The party that set things
to rights after Buchanan can repeat
their work after Cleveland.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
DThe democrats will go through the
form of nominating officers forsthe
house of representatives. That is, in
fact, about all they will be able to do
for several years to come. One con-
gress democratic in both branches is all
the people can stand in 20 years, and
they will see to it that the mistake of
1892 is not repeated very soon.-Cleve-
land Leader.
UThe republican house of represen-
tatives stands ready, rs Mr.. Reed de-
clares, to furnish the adequate revenues
for the government. Its members rec
ognize what is the only bencficent leg
islation to enact and they will be
guided by this judgment in the pas
sage of the necessary laws. Repub-
leans in congress will do everything
consistent, therefore, to bring about an
improvement in the situation as it is
to-day. They will make sacrifices OF
everything but principle. But this lat
ter they will never do. If they did
they would be false to the people, t" the

THERE MUST BE A CHANGE.
Cleveland's Declaration Complicates Tariff
Matters.

Cleveland's Declaration Complcates TArtn
Matters.
The president speaks like a man who
has counted the cost of war. There may
be no war growing out of the Venezuela
crisis. 1t is to be hoped that there will
not be. We opine that the firm tone Of
President Cleveland's message may be
a sure means of preventing war; Tor
when the nation that is in the wrong
knows that the nation that is in the
right is resolved, and is able to resist,
there is likely to be abstinence from
wrongdoing.
But the United States, which is the
nation in the right, must not only be re-
solved but able to oppose resistance 10
the nation that is in the wrong. We
call upon congress to aid the president
in the work of putting the United
States in an able condition. We call
upon the president to refrain from OBJ
structing congress in it's efforts toward
enabling the United States to re-
sist wrong. The demand involves an
Abandonment of what has been the
presidents favorite policy.
We cannot fully make ourselves able
to resist while we are enriching Britain
by hundreds of millions of American
gold paid for the purchase of British
goods. We must be able to build Amer
lean ships in American yards, and to
man them with American seamen, be-
fore we are really able for great con-
test. We cannot buy British ships and
hire British seamen to fight American
battles against Britain. We must be
able to make arms in American shops
for American soldiers. We smust be
able to clothe American soldiers, sea-
men and non-combatants with Amer
ican-made clothing, woven from Amer
lean wool, before we are truly able to
make war. All these preparations can
be made in short order. But they in
volve spewing of the free-trade heresy
out of American mouths. We cannot
prepare for war by paying commercial
tribute to the nation that is likely to be
our advcrsary.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Carr has a big reward hanging over

CONGRESS SHOULD ACT.
Expenses Should Be Cut Down or the
Revenue Raised.

Expenses Should Be Cut Down OF tne
Revenue Raised.
The government seems to have run
behind somewhere between $4,000, 900
and s50,0O0,0 900 during the last year.
That is to say, it is spending over $40,-
O0O,O0 per year more than it is taking
in, and up to this time is borrowing
through New York syndicate to make
good the deficiency. 1t has also been
resorting to such maneuvers as an en-
barrassed business firm, tending to-
ward bankruptcy, generally adopts, to
delay payments and stave off creditors.
Under such circumstances, the first
duty of congress is either to cut down
expenses or increase the revenue. If
the current expenses cannot be reduced
$4,000 900 per year, then the revenue
must be raised to mike good the de-
ficiency.
There are just three ways to raise
revenue. We can get it directly from
tariff. We can get it directly by tax
alton on incomes or personal property
or on manufactures, or sales, or on any
thing else. Or. we can borrow it.
What shall republicans do? Will
they remorselessly cut down appro-
priations $40,O0O,0O0? If not, will they
tell Mr.. Cleveland to keep on borrow
ing? IT not, will they belle their pro-
LESSONS in the late canvass and their
whole record by resorting to direct
instead of indirect taxation? Or final
ly, will they follow the long-tried re-
publican policy, which the voters evi-
IDENTIFY intended to approve and COM
mand when they elected them, by maxi
ing such changes in the tariff as shall
raise the needed revenue? This need
involve no long delay or elaborate re-
vision of the whole tariff. The restora-
ton of the old duties on wool and ono
or two other items would do it-leav-
ing any further action on the tariff thai
may be needed to the time when the
republicans shall have full control Of
the government, and therefore be re-
sponsible for its policy. At present
they have full control of the house,
and therefore are responsible for the
revenue. It is none of their business
what Mr.. Cleveland will do with their
bill. Their duty is to furnish means
for raising the revenue. If Mr.. Cleve-
land prefers to veto their bill, and try
to borrow money again, that is his
affair, not theirs.-N. Y. Tribune.
