CONSULAR REFORM.

Mr.. Cabot Lodge has under considera-
ton somewhat radical plan of consular
reform. He proposes to make consular
ships life ffices, except as cOnsuls may
give grounds for dismissal. Another fea-
ture of his plan of reform is to make re-
tired officers of the navy eligible to ap-
peintment. If Mr.. Lodge we're not man
of:lofty views one would suspect that be
had the good Of naval officers in view
rat her than the good of the public service
Officers of the navy reach certain age
before retirement, and. while perhaps
still vigorous at that time of life, are too
old to commence life anew. Either the
navy officer would have to begin one bust
ness where he left eff in another, or he
would be of no particular use as a com
mercial representative of his country.
Their experience in the navy does not ac-
quaint them with business methods. As
a rule, they are not much in sympathy
with trade. When cruising in foreign
waters we do not hear much of them in
trade circles. They are more at home in
the social circles of the cities they visit.
While number of retired officers might
find the salaries of consularships desr-
able ADDITION to their half-pay. il is not so
certain that they would find the duties of
the Office so agreea BILE.

THE OLD STORY.

During the war there were many con-
spicuous public men who were in favor of
the war but opposed to all measures to
make it successful We have the same
kind of men now in Congress. They are
in favor Of the Nicaragua canal but op-
posed to all plans Of organ ization by which
it may be constructed. Senator Turpie is
in favor of the canal as an abstract lropo-
sition, but. be cannot support any bill yet
presented to Congress to secure its con-
struction. One of his arguments against
the Morgan bill is that it proposes TO pay
the Maritime Com paDy an amrunt in ex-
cess of expenditures. Another ardent ad-
vocate Of the bill in the abstract is in
doubt if the best route has been selected.
He wants to send a committee of Con-
gressmen. lawyers and business men over
the route to make sure that the engineers
have made no error in their estimat
Another class of directors remind one of
the mother of the boy who required the
lad 10 promise that be would not go near
water until he could swim. These men
want 10 see canal before they vote to
build one. There is now, as there always
has been, organized opposition to the con-
struction of a canal to connect the waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This
opposition has all the force that arises
from selt-interest and has more money be-
hind it than the canal will cost. When
hundreds OF millions of dollars are in
vested in one route the investors naturally
fight shorter and cheaper route.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

During eleven months Of the last calen-
dar year the value of our merchandise ex-
ports exceeded the value of our merchan.
disc imports by S13O,6O5 coo. We also
exported silver in excess of imports to the
extent of S34, 36O,0 Total exports are
therefore S164, 374, 600 in excess OF imports.
This is the amount of gold that would be
due US if the demand for gold was limited
10 settling trade balances. But, as mat
ler of fact. we exported 81, 796. 600 more
gold than we imported, with a trade bal
ance of S164, 374, 600 in our favor. Gold to
the amount of 81. 600 went to settle it.
Of course, this appearance is deceptive.
The S164. 374, 600 was used for various pur-
poses. It was used TO pay interest on
American securities held abroad and divi-
dends on such American properties held
abroad as pay dividends; also in payment
of American securities thrown upon the
foreign market, and also to enable rich
Americans TO shine in European society.
The yearly amount to keep American tour
lists and Americans sojourning IL Europe
has been estimated at 500, 000, 900. Per-
haps it is less, but it would certainly figure
largely in exports of gold. To he extent
that American securities have been sold
there is a clear gain tor the country. But
the balance of trade will have to be on our
side many years to make a dee D impre ssiOn
on the debt we incurred when all Europe
was seeking our securities.

MAY NOT CONTEST.

The report of the'committee named by
the Republican State Central Committee to
compare the organic and statute laws re-
speeding a gubernatora1 contest. most
likely removes the contest proposition
from among disturbing political probablli-
ties. The committee 90 not see their way
clear 10 recommend any plan Of contest
A discrepancy between the constitution
and the code point to a solution of the
problem by constitutional amendment.
The one thing Republicans should avoid is
the use of their large majority in both
houses of the Legislature TO bring about
any change of law by which the contest
may be facilitated. The election was held
under existing laws. and any questions
arising out of the election should be con-
sidered under the laws IN operation when
the votes were east and counted. Special
acts made to fl a particular case are viewed
with distlust. The PEOPLE will not sane
ton any turning and twisting of law to ac-
complisb partisan ends. The fact that the
Legislature is largely Republican should
not be factor in a contest proceeding.
Not only should there be no forcing OF re-
sulis, but there should be DO weli-grounded
suspicion of such forcing.

FEDERAL REVENUES.

The last session of Congress planned to
increase the revenue from distilled spirits
and from imported sugar to compensate in
a measure for any decrease of revenue
which might result from a reduction of
duties on imported fabrics. 1t appears,
however. that the legislation caused
falling off in. these two sources of revenue
instead of an increase. SO much whisky
was Withdrawn from bond TO evade the
increased tax that the receipts from this
source'are much below the average. The
same is true in respect to sugar The re-
fners imported years stock in advance
under the old tariff, which imposed DO
duty on raw sugar. ard are consequently
we'll supplied fer the present and for some
months 10 come. These are results which
Congress might have foreseen. When the
law deliberately offers trusts an opportu-
