SECRETIRr M1yNINGy REpORT

Secretary Mannings Treasury report is an
ab'cr document than had been generally ex-
pccted. Though rather overloaded with de-
tails, rs such papers are apt 10 be, il Is earnest
in tone and sIrOng in reasoning on the question
of currency, which invites special attention.
and on some other topics its rcasOnngs are able.
and its suggestions full of merit. Tomost of Mr..
Manning's political associates, It's observations
regarding the tariff will seem like the play of
Hamlet, with the part Of Hamlet omitted by
special request. That topic is treated eva
sively. it is true, but Mr.. Manning cvadcs it
with considerable ingenuity by suggesting
that he has a great body of Information which
he will place before Congress at future time.
Meanwhile he INDUCES in a rhetorical and
oyer-straincd cenSure of the present tariff
which is so put that one may doubt. if he IL
so minded, whether Mr.. Manning is provoked
az an ardent prOtectIonsi because the tariff
does not protect enough, or as an ardent free
trader because the tariff protects too much.
Those who are least pleased with this part of
the report will be most ready to concede its
ability.
The Secretary estimates that the revenue for
the fiscal year 1897 will be $4,000, 900 less
than the revenue last year and that the cy-
penditurcs will be $3l,00O,0O0 greater than
the expenditures last year This he modifcs
by suggesting that the requirements for the
sinking fund may be reckOncd upon the amount
of net debt, exclusive Of cash in hand or re-
serve for redemption, but even then there
would be a deficit o. about S23, 800 900. These
estimates will be sharply criticised, especially
by Mr. Mannlngs political associates. as cal
culated to prevent any reduction of taxa
ton. But the estimates Of required ex-
penGi'ure are not from NIr. Manning
alone, but are those of the heads OF DEPART
mcnts of a reform Administration. 1t may be
suggested that the estimate Of receipts from
customs appears little lower than She recent
returns of imports wou.d warrant. II business
is about to revive with yiGor il may be antci-
pated that the decline in revenue Will
be less than Mr.. Manning has assumed.
But it is his duty to allow
margin for contingencies in providing for the
needs and the credit OF the Government. After
showing the condition of the Treasury, and ex-
planning recent changes in debt statements, Mr. |
Manning properly recommends that so-caled
unavailable funds " should by LEGISLATION be |

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN PENNSYLTANIA.

OLEOHdRG1RTNE ~ PENNSYLVANIA
The Supreme Court Of Pennsy lvania rendered
a decision few days ago which materially con
Germs the great dairy interest Of the country.
Buttcr-makcrs and people who are partial to
butter that is butter, will read it with much
satisfaction. case was brought in the court
IN question to test the cOnstitutiOnality of the
olcomargarine law of Pennsylvania. The
action arose, as the farmers of NewY ork will
not fail to note, on n similar provision to the
one passed upon and declared unconstitutional
bv the Court of Appeals of this State. The
PENNSYLVANIA bench, after a prolonged argu-
mcnt by prominent lawyers affirmed. on an
appeal from a lower court, its constitutionality.
Those who are familiar with the legislation
which has been had on this subject are aware
that the authors of the New York OleOmargarine
law have steadily contcndcd that the case which
was taken to our Court of Appeals was not
really an honest one-that the preScntment of
facts upon which the decision was based was
unfair and imperfect. This opinion is shared
by good many dairymcn in the interior, and
the tendency of this Pennsylvania decision, OF
course, will be- to confirm it.
The coming Legislature will doubtless be
asked TO protect butter from bogus butter, no
matter under what name it may masquerade.
And this latest decision will strengthen the
hands Of the petitioners.

This city neAds some new surveyors to make
estimates of the cost of grading streets which
would be somewhere nearly correct. Since
1882 Ito February, 1850 eighteen grading

many thousands of dollars. One contract. for
instance. has cost 373 per cent more than was
expected another, 636 per cent; still another,

mark hiss resigned within day or two. Per-
