From the Independent


Standing on the threshold of the new
year, with ten months of the admin
istration of President Grant before the
country and the world, it is a fitting
time to consider the present condition
of affairs, and to contrast it with March
last, when he took the solemn oath that
invested him with the power conferred
on him by the popular vote.

diminished from last year, the revenue
has already increased abating the dis
content which always exists when the
honest taxpayer is compelled to bear
his own burden, and the burden that
fall on the dishonest taxpayer besides.

lhe Siege of Paris.


An Englishman writing from the French
capital, Nov. s, thus pictures the pros
peet:


The remainder of the siege will be a
bitter time. Hitherto real privations have
hardly been widely felt. HencefOrward
we shall be rudely taught the realities oil
an actual blockade. When the miseries
begin in earnest they will spread like
Wildhre through the immense population.
The sick and the delicate have a terrible
time of it. Funerals are as common in
the streets as cabs. Once attacked by any
lowering fever or disorder, there is very
little chance for you. And the mischief
will fatally increase. As the rich and the
luxurious begin to feel the famine, their
frames will sink very rapidly under the
attacks of fatigue and cold and bad wealth
er. Fertilization duty on a rainy night
is not so bad after a tOIerable dinner, but
when it is accompanied by a diet of dry
bread and yin orfinaire, it is sure to make
its victims.


There will be dreadful sights in Paris
before many days are past. Even a fort
night ahead Of US Is now impossible to
answer for. We know what quicksand
we stand upon with Belleville and La
Vilette smolderlng like a volcano at our
feet. We know what hunger will do with
a Partisan populace. It was famine that
evoked the fiends of 1892. Famine made
even the Grand Monarque almost trem BILE
on his throne. This is the weapon that
Bismarck has unsheathed against us
more terrible than all his Krupps or,
needle-guns. OF one thing we may now
feel confidently assured - that a great
sortie must be made. We shall not sit
here like prisoners to he cOolly starved
out by inches in our pretty cages. Paris
is thrown on her own resources she
must go out, beat the enemy, or despair
and die. Let us hope that the people and
their governors will have the sense, the
honesty, the maguanimity to accept the
issue Of one more struggle as conclusive,
and not prOtract for the mere qualification
Of false and foolish pride the sufferiugs
Of this wretched people. IF we were to
believe the talk of clubs and tables d'hote
and the boasts and harangues of editors,
Oue would suppose that Paris would end by
lying after the last biscuit had been con-
,umed. But l hope that a great battle
may decide the melancholy struggle, and
hat the battle may be decisive enough to
cave no hope to the defeated party.
