ABOUT THAT SURPLUS.
A Few Suggestions by an Authority
Upon Political Things.

1t is charged by some critics OF
the administration that the surplus
shown in the Treasury statement for
September has been achieved by
manipulation of the expenses, by
throwing over into October, pay
ments which were already due. We
see no necessity for assuming that
Mr.. Carlisle and his subordinates
have been so silly as this. If there
were an election Immediately pend
ing, it might have been worth while
to put the best face possible on
the accounts. AS it is, it is exactly
the October balance which is likely
to be of political importance, as many

Left Her Husband.

A special from Springfield, Mo-,
SAYS: Eva Duncan married John
Mills yesterday morning but at this
hour is speeding along to California
with William Angel of Aurora, to
whom she has been engaged six
years. John Mills, the husband she
left behind, came here six months
ago. When the report spread
through the town that Eva and John
Mills had been married Angels hopes
were shattered. He met Eva's bro
ther and on the way to Duncan's
home they were overtaken by the
bride and groom in carriage. The
brides brother compelled his sister
to climb out. She obcyed and ac-
companied Angel and her brother
home. Since then nothing has been
seen of Angel or the bride. 1t i:
understood they left on the Frisco
train for the Pacific coast.

PASSING OF THE SEAL.

Smithsonian institute, who is held to
be an authority on the seal and seal
fishing, has returned from Bering is

elections come soon after its publica-
ton. 1t is, therefore, not likely that
the October balance sheet has been
sacrificed to that of September.
The fact simply is that the import
ations have risen to a figure which
puts the Treasury a little at its ease,
in spite of the unparalleled lowness
of prices and Of al valorem duties.
This has been due largely to the ex-
aggerated statements rs to the re-
vival of business in the United
States, which our Free Trade news
papers and correspondents have
made current in England. The
English manufactures hastens to
make hay while the sun shines, and
, when will he another such opportun-
/ ity? He has an American Tariff to
deal with, which is nearly though
not quite, what he would have pro-
posed for us. 1t is in the hands OF
an administration, which shows every
disposition to construe its terms gen
erously. And he hears that in spite
of this, America has plenty OF, gold
to spend Oh foreign wares, 50 he
loads up the ships with his consign-
ments, as he did in 1888 and 1916
and sends us whatever he has no sale
for at home.-Wharton Barker's

recently opened at the Navy Department.
through the medium OF modifying its bids,

pared by the department.
The Newport Ship-Building Company

struct one for s2,s50.0oo. or 10th for 81
10000 each. The Union Iron Works was
next lowest In this class with bid or

THE CRAMPS PROPOSAL.
The Naval Board Of Construction has
been examining all the plans and bids
submitted, giving careful and particular
attention 20 the proposition OF the Cramp
Company TO not only construct two bat
tle-ships Of their own plans and also iur-
nish the armor, but in addition to con-
struct another similar vessel without ar
NOR and all for the amount appropriated
by Congress for the purpose-namely' -
coo 600.
The San Francisco and Philadelphia
concerns also submitted bids for the con-
struction Of two vessels on plans pre-
pared by themselves.
These bids were lower than those SUB
mitted by these firms i'm accordance with
the departments specifications, but nelth-
en- was as low as that Of the Newport
News Company-the only one it made
for carrying out the departments IDEAS

Secretary Herbert is anxious to nave
one OF the battle-ships 20 to the Pacinc
coast but he feels that he cannot con-
sciontlously accept the proposition OF the
Union Iron Works at their present inquire
His decision 10 give the San Francisco
