REDUCING 7HE SURPLUS.

This Congress is getting ready, apparently. to
settle the question of a surplus revenue i'll tho
good OLD Democratic manner. Prior to the war,
when the country enjoyed the blessing of
Democratic government. 1t was able 10 rest
assured that if surplus revenue at any timc
appeared, either Democratic officials would
steal it or "A Democratic Congress would vote
it away. There are now pending before tho
House. with moro or less prospect OF success,
bills to vote away 81 900, 900 or $l2, 900, 900
for river and harbor improvements; public
buildings job. which will take many millions
more from the Treasury, just how much no.
body knows and pensions job, which will re-
lieve the surfeit in the Treasury to the extent
of 800. 600, 900 within tho next FIVE years.
With such opportunities for getting rid of the
surplus as these bills present, it is rardly to bo
expected that tho Democratic majority will
waste much Of its time in controversy about tho
best mode of reducing taxation.
Stinginess is not economy. The fault to be
found with the Democratic majority hitherto,
has been disgraceful and wastclul stingincss
in matters where larger and more liberal ex-
pendiure would have been for the pubic bene-
fit, coupled with reckless or dishonest waste
of the public money in directions where mom-
bcrs Of tho majority, or their personal friends,
or their political aspirations, could be helped by
robbing the Treasury. Thus the country has
been deprived, by the action of Democratic
members, of the useful services Of some repre-
sehtatives abroad, while Others have been
eflectually crippled by the stupid parsmony
shown in legislation. and the foreign commerce
of the country has thus been seriously affected
In domestic matters, too, the publication of
valuable statements of the exports of the
principal products, and of other information of
great service TO business men, has been
stopped by the penny pound foolish
stingness of Congress, and at the same time
the very same body considers seriously PROPOSE
tions to vote away 100000, 900 or
O0O0O.O0O of the public money knowing
that large part of it will go to enrich claim
agents and jobbers, and the fayortes through
whose aid members hope to secure re election
1t was not to be expected that the Democratic
party would change its character, merely be-
cause the people had foolishly trusted 1t for
once The grave objections which justified
most earnest resistance to that party in the last
campaign. as in every other since 1850. have
not passed away because by fraud at the South,
ID by tho trcacbcry of few individuals at the
North, the election of Democratic President
has been secured What the party was when it
wanted power it will be found to he now that it
has the power with this exception, that the re-
straining influence which asdcsire for Presl.
dental success has always exerted now no
longer curbs the greed of its moro 1hungry and
thirsty members. Ths country haa determined

FRENCH SPOLIdTIONS.

Congress deserves credit for one act OF long
delayed justice, which has been urged By the
Executive Department again aud again in vain.
The @French Spoliations bill, which passed
the House on the 18th by q vote of 1Sl yeas to
II nays, provides that claimants may apply by
petition within two years TO the Court OF
Claims which shall take testimony and decide
upon the validity of such claims, and report to
Congress on the first Monday in December in
each year Claims embraced in the treaty OF
1903, or covered by the treaty between the
United States and Spain of 1919, or by the
treaty between the United States and France
of 1881, are excluded.
In summing up the arguments in favor of this
measure, Mr.. w. w. Phelps urged that the
long delay is the strongest reason for action !;
that during the Revolutionary War the United
States generously but foollshly guaranteed to
France the security of her West Indian power
but was unable TO make good the guarantee,
and finally declared absolute neutrality between
France and England. In consequence great
losses were sustained by theowhers OF merchant
vessels, I'D in the subsequent settlement with
France this country became the debtor to all
who suffered from French spofiation. The
simple fact that these claims have never been
adjusted, and that now, at tho end OF the
nineteenth century we have yet to provide for
the debts of the eighteenth. was urged by Mr..

UP. EE1RrS EOR SENATOR

The Republicans of the Legislature, respond
ing to public sentiment and making the best use
of their opportunity, have named William NJ
Evarts for United States Senator The selec-
tion comments itself TO the intelligence and
civic pride of our people, quite independent OF
party lines. They realize that it summons to
the greatest of American forums leader ot
National reputation whose lofty character com
mits him to an exalted conception of the sgniii-
cance of the Senatorial office, and whose brill
liant career attests that he will not only render
good and faithful service, but reflect lustrc
upon this imperial Commonwealth.
Looking at the choice of Mr.. Evarts from the
point of view of the party with which he IA
identified, it is equally commendable. lie be-
longs to the old guard. lie has not been prom
ineDtly identified with either one of the fac
tions. He has been content to call himself and
be called a Republican. rather than to be
known by term standing for either one of the
warring subdivisions. A charter member OF
the party. he has been devoted 10 its bert in
terests at all stages of its history, AMI thus has
commended himself to his fellow Republicans
who long ago came TO regard hlm as one oil the
most earnest and efficient champions, not 0i a
faction but of the common cause. People gen
orally will be rejoiced to see Mr.. Evarts Senator.
while his triumph will especially crafty the
great majority of Republicans here in New
York and elsewhere throughout the country.
There are not fe men whose names are
borne on the roll Of the party in this State
who would make excellent Senator's and some
Of these were placed in the field during the can
vass which resulted in Dir. Evarts's nomination.
Mr.. Morton, his principal competitor. is tried
Republican whose public services have been
considerable and honorable The fact that he
made 80 strong fight against such man as
Mr.. Eyarts is a tribute to the regard in which
he is held by his political friends all over the
State. As Minister to France, a post 10 which
he was assigned by the lamented Garfield, nc
has given general satisfaction and strengthened
his hold on the popular confidence. Mr.. Depew.
who early in the canvass declined to be n can
ddate nevertheless continued to be urged for
the place by a large number OF influential Re-
publicaps in and out of the Legislature. This
persistent suggestion of his name was based OH
a general appreciation of his distinguished
abilities and unusual popularity. In the Senate
he would have been commanding figure. The
other candidates, Frank Hiscock and Leslie w.
Russell, have both left their impress upon the
public life of the State, and the candidacy OF
each was recognized as that of citizen who
had earned the right to aspire to the Senate.
This was the group from which Mr.. Evarts was
chosen. He will recognize in his competitors
foemen worthy of his steel, and they may well
agree that they can afford to be vanquishcd by
such foeman.
The result, as THE TRIBUNE remarked yes
terday, in anticipating it, leaves few wounds
and is full of promise for the future of the Re-
publican party in New-York.

DEAFNESS And HEREDITY.

Professor Graham Bell recently expressed ap-
prehension that the intermarriage of deaf-mutes
might produce deaf mute race in this coun-
try. The report of the special committee of the
Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Insti
tuition for the Deaf and Dumb, appointed to col
lect information as to the lives and occupations
of pupils who have left the institution, seems
to go counter to this theory. The principal, A.
l.. l.. Crouter who writes the report, admits
"that in marriages of persons congenitally deaf
@there is strong probability that a portion OF
@the offspring will also be deaf" but he adds
that this is only probability-not a certainty.
And he proceeds to show that 80 far inquiry
has proceeded, it demonstrates n tendency To the
production from deaf parents of more hearing
than deaf children. Much greater danger, in
fact, he holds, results from consanguneOus mar
riages where neither parent is deaf, than from
marriages between unrelated cOngentally deaf
persons. The statistics given in the report
certainly appear to support this view. bat it is
evident that a much larger number of cases
must be examined before it will be safe to build
theory upon these observations At present
it has only been possible to observe 344
families, aud these show decided tendency to
the SeneTdblOH Ol UtIItHP CHuuItDs VI 'VuiSt,
if the same proportions can be shown to hold
good for say thousand or five Thousand
families, the conclusion will be justified that
Professor Graham Bells fear of deaf
race il practically groundlcss.
The disastrous consequences OF cOnsanguine-
ous marriages, however, deserve to be- CON
sidered carefully for there is some reason for
believing that this kind of marriage has been
increasing of late years. In these cases the
normal results of lnbreedinS namely dcteriora-
ton Of the type are apt to be shown In the
loss of certain faculties, such as those OF
hearing and speech. In the case OF marriages
between healthy cOngcnital deat-mutes, how
ever, who are unrelated the uniOn OF fresh III
dvidualitics sets up tendency to improve
ment upon the parental conditions and hence
we find the majority of the children of such
marriages endowed with hearing. Bnt for all
this, it is probably on the whole undesirable
that deaf .mutes should intermarry, for at least
some of their children are apt to resemble thcin
in their deficiencies, and thus they keep up the
strain, if not 10 the extent at first supposed.
The report of Mr.. Croutcr contains much
other information of interest concerning the
after life of deaf pupils of tho Institution. 1t
appears that those who have learned to talk by
lip reading are very apt to lose their knowl-
edge of this accomplishment when they go into
the wOsid. md this is not strange, seeing thIt
It's retention must depend on constant practice.
and seeing also that in promscuous intercourse
fewer opportunities for such practice are likely
TO occur 1t is, however desirable that the
ability to converse orally should bo kept up.
and the attention Of deaf-mute teachers should
be given to the subjeck As one of the probI ems
which il bchooves them TO solve if possible.

There is one Republican Office in North Car
olina which doubtless the hungry Democrats

selves in possession of-that of the United

Storekeeper was an "Ofiensive partisan,' but
we suppose he must have been such. He was
murdered.

The electric light people must brace them
