PAYNE on Surplus.

Col. Oliver Payne, of Standard OH com
pany notoriety, has been talking freely to
the London correspondent of the New
York World. He began by proclaiming
that he had no connection, whatever, with
the company, and then proceeded to talk
freely about American politics. The treas
ury surplus troubles Mr.. Payne terribly,
and be urges the necessity of an immediate
reduction of the revenue, but seems TO
have small hope that this can be accom-
plished because public men are timid
about undertaking reduction. There is
way in which many public men talk and
act shows that they are more afraid Of Of
Tending the protection sentiment than of
failing In their duty as legislators. Colonel
Payne suggests as way out of the diff
Guilty that the surplus should be spent on
forts and ships; asserting that we need both
badly, but this would be only temporary
expedient, for the surplus would soon give
us all the defenses needed, and then We
would have to look around for some other
holes to sink the money in. No doubt
plenty of them would be found, but sooner
or later the people would call halt in this
system Of taxation beyond the needs of
the government and return of the surplus
through government works. Perhaps by
that time the growth Of our foreign com.
merce will have rendered protection un
necessary.

Philadelphia's Filler.

The Republican city leaders and city or.
ganizatons in Philadelphia have united
upon Edwin II. Filter for mayor, who was
presented by the Union League as one of
the half-doZen citizens Of the town decent
enough for the receipt of its SUPPORT. and
who has been accepted by the party leaders
as the one least decent, for their support
Mr.. Filter is therefore remarkable
man, and with all this Republican unanm-
ity in his favor he VIII no doubt be the
next mayor OF the town. 1t would be
pity not to give a chance for the exposition
OF the quality of mayor who commands
the support of the diverse clements OF
Philadelphia Republ!caniSm. Philadelphia
is Republican town and Filters fitness
to be its mayor, when all its Republicans
agree upon him, is not TO be at present
challenged. The test of the pudding will
be In the eating thereof. 1t Is not every
pudding or every man who turns out to he
as good as everybody thinks he looks to he
and Filter may be OF this sort, and those
five Republican leaders, of undlssembled
rascality, may know it. But we hone
otherwise, since Filter is TO be mavor. for
Philadelphia is our town and We wish for
its good. There has certainly been n
wonderful cutting down of mayoralty
timber in getting this straight stick and it
ought to turn out TO be sound piece,

The House OF Congress.

This Congress adjOurns for the holidays,
with nothing accomplished in political
way and nothing promised for the two
remaining months of its existence. 1t has
been largely Democratic House, which
has been good to the country but not to
itself. The Democratic majority has been
too large and too badly led to have been
able to unity the party as it should have
done. If the president had not been a
firm n@n with policy the party would not
be III its present fair condition. There has
been no one in Congress with the aptitude
to lead majority. Mr.. Randall's power
is in the lead of minority. Mr.. Nor
rison could lead but faction. Mr.. Car.
Isle, commanding the applause of all par
ties, lacked obviously leaders aggressive
force. The president, alone of all the men
who are to settle its affairs at Washington,
promises the capacity of a great party
leader. lie has the force, intelligence and
positive will that are needed, with the
magnanimity that is essential; and the trust
Of the party is that he can command the
following of the coming House which is
Democratic by less than score and which
cannot divide its Democratic strength.
Witha closer responsibility fixed upon every
Democratic member, the probability of
united action is increased and it needs but
the hand of wise leader to make the small
Ter Democratic force Of the coming House
more valuable to the party than the
strength of this one has been.

THERE is a bureau OF statistics in Wash
ington and Senator George, OF Mississippi,
has made an effort 10 get q little information
out OF It, He wanted to know how the
wealth of the country was distributed, and
whether the increased value Of agricultural
land had come through the increase of
population or the intrinsic value Of the land
itself" Fortunately that redoubtable ststis-
tictsn Edward Atkinson happened to be in
Washington and came TO the rescue of the
chief OF the bureau with vast quantity OF
interesting Information. He tells US that
though We are the richest country in the
world, the value of our accumulated capital,
including railroads, factories, mines, goods,
dwellings, &c, is only equal to the wealth
produced in two and halt years and that We
are only that far ahead of the wolf at the door
He says that the productive cspicity OF each
factory operative is from fifty to two hun
dred per cent greater than it was In 1860,
owing to improved machinery " Invention
has reduced the capital and increased the
product-advanced the wages and reduced
the cost of labor" Mr.. Atkinson lays 1t
down as demonstrated general fact that in
the country factory labor produces much
more now than in 1850 that the lsborers are
more highly paid, and that at the same time
tISlI wages VII! buy INeLn more, DOLLAR lOT
dollar, OF what they consume, than in lS6O or
at any subsequent period. His arguments
are based on the census of lSsO, and after a
careful investigation OF the numbers en-.
Ployed in various occupations for gain, he
finds that not more than ten per cent OF all
who do the work OF the country can
have accumulated any considerable amount
Of property, upon the income OF which they
could TO any great extent depend without
working for a living themselves After an
elaborate series OF comparisons of prices in
1850 and 1850, he reaches the conclusion that
the workingmen Of the country were never
so well oil a. they are at this time He also
says that the power OF capital to secure
income has been diminished seventy-fye
per cent in twenty-five years, yet the pre-
duct has Increased so rapidly that the share
oi the capitalist IL as large, in fact as It was
In 1860.
He seems to prove that skilled laDorer
can procure from eighty to one hundred per
cent more TOR years work than he could In
1895, and common laborer from forty 10
fifty per cent more, and so reaches a couclu.
sion directly az variance with that OF Henry
George, for he says: "While the rich NAV
have grown no poorer the poor have stead II =
become richer" He attributes the deprss.
sion we have just passed through to the
adjustment OF capital and labor to new condl,
tions,and to the result Of speculative railway
building.

Christmas Presents.

This is the time when people of moder-
ate means most frequently break the CON-
mandment against covetousness. They do
not SO often wish for things beyond their
means with a purely selfish motive, but
they wish they could afford to give other
people handsome presents. Now not many
OF them stop to think of the matter from
the point of the friends who would receive
the gifts. The exchange must be of near
ly equal value, or some one will feel hurt
that his gift has been so completely over
shadowed by what he has received.
If the person giving an expensive present
is reputed wealthy the transaction has an
air Of ostentation; if he is not, il seems to
to say, " am more liberal than you.'
1t will not do TO apply the proverb about
the superior blessedneSs of giving over re-
ceiving to the exchange of gifts among
friends and relatives unless there is
case of actual want, when charity
is combined with the expression OF
good will. Let those who feel tempted to
crafty an inclination to give presents
more expensive than they expect to re,
ceive, to people who are not in want, turl
their impulse into another channel. II
they will try to find some one whose
Christmas could be made happy by small
share of their surplus, they will find thai
they will have happier Christmas of their
own.
