OUR INTERNAI. REVENUE-
The burdort of maintaining the gov
ernment of the United States falls
largely upon those dbmcstic taxes
which arc collected under the name of
internal revenue. While our customs
receipts yearly aggregate scarcely fifty
millions , the income from the internal
rovcnuo during the lait year
was $135,220,902. During the
past five years $002,310,787 ,
was collected without defalcation ,
and paid into the treasury witho'at
loss , while the entire expanses of coi.
Icclion was less than throe an-'a n
per cent upon the amount
The admirable system u jdor wJJ.jjj our
internal rovcnuo i\ administered ,
joined to the cap ity and fidelity of
the onicors a .cl omployo'j of the ser
vice , is responsible fov the safety and
olir/apnosa with vrhi'ch tlicso immense
sums have been "handled.
Taxes arc nsaossod and collected in
Ml the at.ito.i and territories of the
Union. Ttioro are engaged in this
work 12 $ collectors and 22C deputy
collectors , with separate offices and
final vcsponsibilily. There are , be
sides , 91 ! ) deputies , 003 clerkR , 443
storukeopors , 110 storekeepers and
gaugcrs , 01)8 ) gangers and 35 internal
revenue agonta , who are charged by
law and regulation with important du

and collodion of internal revenue.

The territories paid altogether
$299,187 , of which Dakota contributed
tiio most , or $48C03 , and \Yyonling
- the least , or $18,551. The state con
tributing the least was Vermont $53-
145 , being a little less than Nevada
with 853,421. The Willow Springs
distillery in Omaha pays nearly a mil
lion and a half a year , or about iivo
IP
times as much tut is paid by all the
territories combined and thirty times
as much as is contributed by the state
of Vermont.
By far the larger portion of the re
ceipts are from malt and spiritous
liquors and tobacco. Thofo was col
lected on spirits last year , 807,153,974
for 1880 $01,185,508 , an increase of
of $5,008,400. On tobacco the in
ternal rovcnuo tax for the fis
cal year , ending Juno 30
1881 , a mounted to $42,854,991.
for 1880 it' was $38,870,140 , an in
crease of $3,981,851. Tito tax on
fermented liqilors for 1881 was $13-
700,211 , for 1880 , $12,829,802 , , an increase
crease of $870,438.
0 The plain deduction from < those fig
, , ures is that the great west is' not only
the political but the financial back
bone of our government.
CANADA'S CENSUS.
The impression has boon gaining
ground that Canada has boon steadily
losingi in 'population , owing to the
largo emigration of her citizens to the
United States. Tho'results of the
census taken last April and recently
published strongly , contradict this im
pressionT 'The population of the Do
minion exhibits within the past decade
cado an increase , by annexation and
other. , moans , of 805,172 , and now
numbers 4,350,933 souls , The popu

At the time of entering the coufcd

A HPKCIAI * dispatch from Washing
ton states that there has been consid
erable canvassing going on at the c p.
it til as to the organization of tli < j uoxt
house and the possibility of i.Vs loss to
the republicans , owing to Uio failure
of the New York legislature to pass a
law for a special olootion to fill the
seats vacated by Morton , Miller and
Lapham , and by the death of Wood.
The Now York state canvassing board
cannot meet under the law until De
cember , after the time for the organi-
ration of the house. Investigation ,
however , shows that members elected
to fill these vacancies can bo admitted
to their seats without the election re
turns being canvassed by the
state board , on the returns
of local inspectors of Now
York , who con , and will , give a cer
tificate of admission , Waldo Hutch-
ins , who was elected to fill a vacancy
in Now York , caused by the death of
the member-elect on the night of
election , iras Admitted on this sort of
ah certificate precisely to the last
house , as in thocoso.of thu fluccossora
to Miller , L.ipham , Morton and
Wood. , The state canvassing board
wpuldiiot legally meet ; in'timo o cer
tify his election by the meeting of
congress , and ho was admitted on a
certificate based on the return of the
local inspectors. A democratic house
established this precedent.
Tj'rV'connrilBiiondr of agriculture ,
Mr. Loring , is showing a good deal of
partiality for , Nebraska. rHo-hos recently
cently appointed ex-Goy. Furnas on
the , , investigating commission , and
still m < $ rii recently ho has requested
, Prof. Samuel Aughoy , of Lincoln , to
act on a commission for the selection
of a site for sinking experimental ar
itcsian wells in desert plains east of
the Pocky mountains. The co'mpli
inent to Gov. Furnos was well do-
servedand ; Fro . Aughoy is probably
as well tilted to bore holes
in the ground as any one else.
If Professor Aughoy can devote for
this purpose time not paid for by the
state for educational purposes his ac
- ceptance of the position cannot bo
, criticised. If ho proposes on the
other hand to travel through the ter
ritories during the session of the state
university of which ho is professor ,
ho should at once resign his position.
Every professor in our state universi
ty ought to remain at their post o :
duty. In no other way can the insti
tution bo brought to. a proper state ol
cflicioncy.
, AN article in the Now York Time *
calls attention to the steadily decreas
ing tonnage ot western freights from
Now York to Now Orleans. The fact is
, that both Now York and Chicago are
. becoming seriously alarmed over the
rapid growth of a sentiment among
shippers in favor of the water route
- This season's grain shipment down
- the Mississippi to the gulf hrvvo provet
conclusively the practicability oi
water route 'transportation and the
cheapening ' of freights by
way of the river and barge
line's lias attracted heavy
shipment * * , which would otherwise
have sought the Atlantic seaboard by
rail. New York has rested much o
her claims for ccnimcrcial supremacy
on her network of railroads. A formidable
midablo competitor which neither Jay
Gould nor Jim Keene can consolidate
or strangle has now put in an appear
mice , Water transportation means
cheap rates and higher prices for our

The Iowa Campalfftt.
, loui City Journal.
The pee pi o of northwestern Iowa
cannot bo too careful this year in
selection of their representatives in
ho nineteenth general assembly , tc
noot in DCS Moiucs on the second
ilonday in January next. There are
> ut two questions timt are made
> rominont in the discussion , viz : The
ihoico of a United States sonatpv and
ho vote on the proposed prohibition
'
tmendmont to the state 'constitution.
Hieso question are important , but
members of'tho legislature'ought not
iO be sdlcciaQ faith refcrenco tothem ,
lono. 'B.o ' fajf as the' ' Jfriitcil Qnato
s concerned , the people of pur north
western counties , for . ilistanco' , have
only a common inturoaV Wlth" all the
people of 'the state , in' securing
i fit and cauable man , who
will servo the people of the state
wisely , industriously and h6norably.
As to the prohibition amendment ,
again , there is no interest hero that ic
lot common to the stato. lint bnyond
.hcso questions we have local concerns
hat require the attention of clc.tr-
leaded , prudent , reliable men. So
representative ought not to be chosen
limply''on' tlio distinctive issue wo
lave named. The noxHegislaturo , for
ono thing , will have , tile roapporlion-
nenb of the state into congressional
districts , as'well as into senatorial arid
ropresontativb districts. Northwestern
' .owa is the youngest and weakest por-
ion of the state , and the older and
stronger portions of the state to pro-
ec themselves , will bo "roluc-
Mit to surrender to Northweat-
srn Iowa the rights belonging to
t. Thcro should bo men there
rom this portion of the state
lisposcd and qualified to make
; oed contest for us in this regard ,
There can bo but ton congressional
listricts , an increase of one , and there
can bo but 50 senatorial districts
and 100 reptoscntativo districts , the
same as heretofore. Portions of the
state will have to surrender roprcson
nation they now have if northwester !
[ owa shall receive what it is entitlei
to by reason of its increased popu
lation. It is well to think of this in
choosing representatives. There is
another important consideration thai
ought not to bo overlooked , Immcdi
ntely concerning the northwestern
counties of the state. The congrcs
flional grant of land to the Sioux City
and St , Paul railroad company for thi
purpose of building a line of roat
from Sioux City to the Minnesota
state line , in yet a subject for legisla
tion. The state still holds , in trust ,
85,457.40 acres of land , according to
the last report of the register of the
state land ollico , by reason of the failure
uro of the company to complete its
road in accordance with the terms o
the grant. This is to say ; the com-
i > any has failed 'td build between
Sioux City and LoMars , and th/
state refuse ? to certify the landi
referred to because of that failure
These lands are probably worth
half a million of dollars. It is an
amount of money tempting to speculators
lators , and various schemes for the
of the lands will doubtless
o developed. Now , the grant was
made for thu developing of this portion
tion of Iowa. They ought to bo uao <
foV that purpose , or else bo diaposoc
of by the general government to the
advantage of actual settlers. They
ought long since to have boon earned ,
to have boon subject to taxation ,
and to have boon open to
settlement. The question is
What are the people of north
western Ion a going to do abou
it ? Are they goinj > to do anything
Or will they sit by , or busy themselves
with little local siuabblos ] in wind
there is and can bo no profit to any
one , and see this half million wnlkei
oft" with by some combination or othe
to their mortification and disadvan
tagc ? These are . questions for th
people of northwestern Iowa to con
sider. The state may resume these
lands und regr.mt to a now company
and for a purnoso not opposed by th
terms of the act of congress
For the people of Lyoi
and Sioux counties a good schom
would be to secure these lands for thu
purpose of completing the road now
resting at Doon to Sioux City. Sue !
diveruions would doubtless satisfy th
terms of the grant. There will doubt
less bo other plans , which may include
cludo a proposition , at this late day
to build from LnMars to Sioux City
or the Chicago & Northwestern ma
como in with some proposition t
giyp Sioux City a Minnesota connection
tion ; and there may bo plans
and there are quite likely to be
having no merit except as the ,
promise to make a fat haul for th
projectors. There are other point
that might be cited to show the im
nortanco of attention and rcspectabl
business judgment and sagacity in
tlw selection of representatives to th
legislature , but we have cited onouu
to prompt the people , if they core t
be prompted. In the face of aucl
interests , why should they niak
sacrifice to contest among re
publicans of adjoining counties
or between factions of the saui
county ? There can bo no good reaso
for it. They should make comnrom
isi s and unions to the end that the interests
torests ot all may bo protected atu
promoted. So far the great issue i
nomination conventions has been ate
to which county should have th
honor. It is a line of nonsense likely
to develop very little honor for
northwestern Iowa or profit to its
pooplo. _ _ _ _ _
