THIS ACCUMULATED SURPLUS

and the scale Of tariff rates by which
it is produced, we must not overlook |
the tendency towards gross and scan.
dalous public extravaganza which
congested treasury induces, nor the
fact that we are maintaining, without
excuse, in time of profound peace,
substantially the rate OF tariff duties
imposed in time of war, when the
necessities of the Government justified
the imposition OF the weightiest bur
dens upon the people.
Divers plans have been suggested
for the return of this accumulated sur
plus to the people and the channels of
trade. Some Of these devices are at
variance with all rules of good finance !;
some are delusive, some are absurd,
and some betray by their
RECKLESS EXTRAvAGANCE
the demoralizng influence of great
surplus of public money upon the
| judgments of individuals. While
such efforts should be made as are con.
sistent with public duty and sound
judgment, to avoid danger by the use
full disposition OF the surplus now re-
naming in the Treasury, it is evident
that if its distribution were accomplish
ed another accumulation would soor
take its place, if the constant flow o
redundant income was not checked a
its source by reform in our presen
tariff laws.

THE invention of the photograph
and grapophone has brought out
the singular fact that few persons,
if any, know the sound of their own
voice. When several persons in
succession have spoken into one of
these machines, each may recognize
in its reproductions the voice of a
friend or acquaintance, but does not
identify his own. An analogous
phenomenon has been observed in
the matter of sight by photograph
ers, who can often satisfy in a like.
ness every one but the original.
Thus it seems that we not only dc
not see ourselves as others see us
but we do not hear ourselves as 9TH
ers hear us.

CHARMS OF AN EDITORS LIFE.

One Of the beauties and charms of
an editors life, says an exchange, is
in his dead-heading it on all Oc-
casions. No one who has never
tasted the sweets of that bliss can
begin to take in his glory and
happiness. He does 500 worth of
advertising for a!railroad company,
gets a "pass"I,for year, rides $25;
and then hel isiIlooked upon as
dead-head, or a half-blown dead
beat. He "puffs" a concert troupe
$40 worth and gets 81 "compli-
mentaries," and is thus passed
"free." Ifthe hall is crowded he is
begrudged the room he occupies,
for if his complimentaries were pay
ing tickets the troupe would be so
much more in pocket. He blows
and pufls church festival free to
any desired extent, and does the
poster printing at half rates, and
merely gets a "thank you" for it.
1t goes as part of his duty as an
editor. He does more work
gratuitously for the town and COM
munity than all the rest of the
population put together and gets
curses for it all, while in many
instances where Il man donates a
few dollars for the Fourth of July,
a base ball game or church, he is
gratefully remembered. He "passes
free," you know.

that the JOURNAL is gaining friends

Under the present management

irrigation i'm the united States.

The department of agriculture has sent
out an elaborate report concerning irriga-
ton in the United States. About one-
third Of all our territory lacks n natural
and distributed water supply adequate to
the needs of cultivation. Only a very
small part of this land is, however, ire
claimable-perhaps none, except the
the submits and precipitous slopes of
mountain ranges. The length of irriga-
ton canals approaches 10, 900 miles, and
the area already reclaimed contains sew
eral millions of inhabitants, O estimat-
ing the result where population was pos
sible, and a certain measure of agricult-
ure, without artificial supply of water.
1t must be remembered that the whole
state of Kansas lay within the area of
what was once called the great American
desert. But the subject of irrigation is
Of value not altogether to the arid sec
ton, where there is little OF no rainfall,
but of equal Importance to those large
sections of the older states that are visited
by severe droughts of increasing fire.

Near s~ightedness Among AmerIeans.

"There are numerous causes which ac-
count for the increase of near sightedness
among Americans who are still young"
said a prominent optician, ''but one cause
which seems to ESCAPE most of the writers
upon the subject is the electric light-not
the incandescent, but the arc light.
There is no doubt that its rays, whether
the light is on the street or in an interior,
are hurtful TO the eyes. There is a pecu-
liar, piercing element in the light that
the optic nerve cannot stand. Many cases
of near sightedness are directly traceable
to it. The spectacle trade has undergone
a complete revolution within ten years.
The sales have more than doubled-be-
come 80 large, in fact, that adulteration
has stepped in. By adulteration 1 mean
the cheap glasses that are put ON the
market TO NEE. the demand. Eyeglasses
are sold as low as six cents They are
sold by the thousands. Even peddlers
and street takers handle them. Only
foolish people buy these glasses, for they
are positively harmful to the eyes, and
reputable opticians won't touch them."-

The Strikers Ranks Swelling.

KANSAS CRY. March l0.-Last night
the engineers and iremen OF the Atchi-
son, Topeka x Santa Fe road at Topeka,
Kas., through their general grievance
committee notified the manager at that
point that if they persisted in violating
their pledge of non-intercourse with the
Burlington road in refusing to handle
freight consigned to or from the latter
company that at 1905 a. m. Sunday they
would leave their engines in a body.
Members OF the Switchmen's Union,
sixty in number, employed in the yards of
the Kansas CITY, st. Joe & Council Bluffs
railroad and the Hannibal & St. Joe, both
of which are part of the Burlington sys-
ten, are on the eve of a strike. This
morning they expressed the determination
not to work with the engineers now en-
ployed by the Burlington. Their reasons
are that the danger is so great because of
TIE incompetency of the new men, and
they fear they are liable to be crippled or
killed at any moment.

The feature of recitations at receptions
has developed into a colossal bore. Peo-
pie are supposed to go to such places for
the pleasure Of meeting their host and
hostess and others, and having some little
conversation with them. But frequently
the deep lunged recitationists are all
there and the evening goes by like unto
ono in a hall where there is n regular
programme of Evolutionary exercises.
This puts a stop to conversation and
forces everybody who has ears to hear.
If the recitationist took to the humorous
the WEAKNESS of their auditors might not
be so apparent; but many of them lean
very strongly toward the tragic-so
strongly, in fact, hat their props do not
always sustain them.-New York Press

Horace Greeley,s Musical Taste.

Horace Greeley was no remarkable for
musical taste, though he was fond of the
old hymns and tunes that he had known
from childhood. Il was often necessary
for him to listen to the rendering of
music and even entire sonatas in the
drawing rooms of his friends, and on
these occasions he was always bored.
One evening, after he had listened with
a little more interest than usual to the
playing of B~eethoven's Esprit Waltz"
by the daughter of his hostess, he was
asked if he didn't think the piece was
very enjoyable. He answered in his high
~squeaking voice, that penetrated even to
the ears Of the young pianist herself !
