1t is somewhat remarkable that the Pres
ident should have omitted to make any
reference in his message to the fact that
there is low a deficit in the Treasury, and
that this deficit is not being diminished. 1t
may be that he found himself confronted
by dilemma. One horn pointed toward a
plain acknowledgement of the facts, while
the other indicated a rejection of the sug-
gestion of tariff legislation as remedy.
Both could not be grasped A confession
that there exists a discrepancy between
the receipts and the expenditures would
inevitably lead to revenue legislation,
which the President distinctly rejects in
advance. He has accepted the latter posi-
ton and remains silent on the subject of
the inadequate income of the government.
The omission of such a vitality important
bit of official information is not character
istic of MIR. Cleveland.

The Prospects for a Financial Dill.

Speaker Reeds caucus speech and the
Presidents message should be read together
with reference to the prospects for financial
legislation. and the result is rather encour-
aging SO far as an agreement between the
White House and the House of Representa-
tive Is concerned. Mr.. Reed indicated that
he would wait for the President to make
suggestions and, by declaring that patriotic
instincts would probably lead to the making
of sacrifices to rescue the country from it's
temporary disaster, intimated a willingness
to meet the administration on middle
ground with a bill that could be accepted
by both parties. The President outlines
his own beliefs and makes definite recon-
mendation but at the same time acknowl-
edges that he will relinuush his plan #
Congress should prefer another and Coop
crate with the Houses by approving any
other measure promising thorough and
practical relief. The President doubtless
makes certain mental reservations and
THESE probably include a free coinage bill
high-duty tariff bill. and sundry other
matters against which Mr. Cleveland is
squarciy on record. Mr.. Reed, however
made no promises and hints at no reserva-
tons. He represents the republican party
at the head of the great majority now con-
trolling the lower branch of Congress and
thus his power to aid the administration
is considerable. So that two of the three ele-
ments that are required in any affirmative
action are practically agreed, in the light of
the accommodating attitude that they now
assume. that some legislation is necessary
and can be evolved. The third factor is
known to be doubtful. The Senate cannot
now be polled and in view of its peculiarly
complicated membership at present it is
question whether this can be accomplished
until the measure of relief is actually pre
scented to the upper House for action.

Walters Case.

There is a phrase in that portion of the
Presidents message dealing with the
Waller case that appears to have been
overlooked in the general scrutiny given to
the document in Its entirety. The Presi-
dent says that Waller was tried and con-
victed by the "expeditionary military au-
thorities of France" Can this mean that
the Secretary Of State impeaches the juris-
diction of the tribunal by which Waller
was condemned to Imprisonment? "Expe-
dictionary means something that pertains
to an expedition. In this association it sig
nifies a tribunal that derived its authority
from military force entering a country
not then part Of the nation which it rep
resents. In other words the French tri-
bunal had no authority whatever over citi-
zens of the country then under invasion.
No treaty of peace had been signed, nor
mad protectorate been finally established
and recognized such as would give the in
vaders jurisdiction over a resident of the
country. but a citizen of the United States.
The term 'eXpeditionary military authori-
ties may therefore be taken to mean that
Mr.. Olney has claimed or will claim that
the United States can not recognize the
right Of France to try Waller at all. The
judicial rights of an expedition are held by
most authorities to extend only to MEM
bers of the expedition itself. Any other
act of correction is either war or piracy
the former if wrought upon citizen of the
land being entered, the latter If exercised
against a citizen of any other nation.
This may not be the contention of the adj
ninistration, but it is a possibility, sug-
gested by the unique and doubtless careful
ly chosen language of the paragraph de-
voted to this interesting case.

viding that the appropriations committee
should have authority to fix the limit be-
yond which the total appropriations should
not go. The various bills could then be ap-
portioned accordingly, and the committees
to which they might be referred would have
the task and the privilege of dividing up the
allotment given them to sui. the best pur-
poses of the objects in view. This would
give the Senate the beLeft of the special
experience of the men constituting the
committees which are presumed to have
particular knowledge of the subjects dealt
with by the bills, and in the case of scaling
down the totals TO meet the requirements
of the treasury better result might be
obtained in some cases than by the present
method. In the case of the local bill, for
instance, the eleven Senators comprising
the District committee could give more
time to its consideration and to the discus
sion of It's details and the investigation OF
the matters involved in it than could the
three men who are appointed by the COM
mittee on appropriations under the present
system to act as a subcommittee on the
bill. The same nigh. be true with the dip
lomatic and consular bill, those appropriate
ing for the army and navy, the posI-ofice
bill, that providing for Indian affairs and
perhaps one or two others. The rive and
harbor bill is at present considered by the
committee on commerce apart from the
committee on appropriations. and the sys-
tenn works admirably. Under such a dis
tribution the appropriations committee
would still have control of the legislative,
executive and judicial. the sundry civil and
the deficiency bills, which, with the duty of
controlling the totals. would. the advocates
of the change Of system contend, give that
already overworked cody all that it could
well accomplish.

Distributing the Budgets.

1t appears row that one of the most in
terestinS episodes of the coming session of
the Senate will he the effort on the part
OF the younger members of that body to
secure fuller recognition than heretofore
one of the items of their proposed reform
Is an amcdment to the rules which will
cause distribution OF somn of the appro-
priation bills among the committees in
place Of the present system of concentrate
1rg them in the committee on applopria-
tons. In some respects this proposition is
worthy of the most favorable consideration
1t l.; the common belief that much of the
delay and consequently a srea. deal of
the hasty legislation ir connection with the
annual budgets may be traced to the fact
that the appropriation committee is over
whelmcd with duties. Indeed, it is not a
violent assumption that the work of prop
erly canvassing these great measures IS
too great task for lime men, especially as
it is concentrated in such a short space of
time. The appropriations committee of the
House consists of seventeen members, and
staff the results frequently show evil
dence of too great haste in the prepare ton
of the bills. Should the newly suggested
plan of distributing the bills be carried out
there would have to be some effective
means of preventing such initiation of the
budgets as would lead to unduly large to-
tails. This could probably be done by pro-

Gov. o'FerraIr. lamentations.

Governor O'Ferralls annual message to
the Virginia general assembly, submitted
today, contains some ringing recommended
tons locking to the abatement of the
Euisances that now make Alexandria coun-
ty a menace to the morals and material
prosperity of both the state of Virginia and
the capital of the nation. This document
is fitting supplement to the governors
recent action in organizing and successfully
managing a raid on one of the most noto-
rious gambling hells on the Virginia shore
of the Potomac, and his recommendations
to the legislature, II given the force of law
will surely result in the destruction of the
evils now centered at Jackson City. He
asks. with the best of reason, why Virginia
should prohibit betting through the ordina-
ry gambling devices and yet permit 1t on
horse-racing There is no reason why Vir-
giDia, with all her history in the line of
public morality. should now be the one
state that welcomes to her borders the
gamblers expelled from Gutenberg and
their followers who. at certain seasons of
the year have not even the pretext of genu-
inc horse-racing for the exercise of their
gaming propensities. To the end that this
Injurious condition should be terminated
speedily. the governor urges that the in
corporation of the Grange Camp Associa-
tion, that perverted organization that has
become cloak for the race-track gamblers
should be Immediately repealed.
The governors further recommendations
designed to abate the lawlessness in Alexan-
dria county are pertinent and practical. The
great evil, of course, was in the beginning
the existence in the county of these dan
gerous institutions. Secondary to this but
just as important is the state of Alexan-
dria county In respect to the public officials
AS the governor truly says: THE law Off
GERS are either powerless or they wilfully
neglect their duty. The majesty of the law
must be asserted. AS the executive, l have
no authority. The judge of the county
court has been unable to suppress the law
less because his authority under the
statute is inadequate"
In consequence of these conditions, the
governor urs,s special enactments whereby
the sheriff or other officers may be suspend
ed and the judge may appoint temporary
officials to meet the emergencies of the
situation. His further recommendation that
the judge may be authorized to change the
venue is also in the Line of better enforce
ment OF the laws. These may be radical
measures, but as the governor truly says
in concluding this topic, radical measures
must be adopted to relieve the locality of
it's morally-leprouS character"

Hail to the hardy mariners who man this

Hail to the men who hasten to their duty
fore and aft;
From every land come travelers-the

All anxious to take passage on this good

She calls serene above the wrecks that
history's flood contains
She's rugged with lofty genius and she's
ballasted with brains.
With freedom for rudder We can trust
ourselves to fate,
So it's pretty cheerful travel on this good
old Ship of State.
