The Il outlook.

The 18th, Friday, was the first day in the
month of November on which the revenue
of the Government exceeded it's expendi-
lures. Down to that date, a deficit OF
over seven million dollars had been netted-
The Republican papers were very silent
just then about the tariff.
On Friday, Saturday and yesterday,
small excuses of receipts over expendi-
lures were reported. In the aggregate
they effect a reduction of the deficit Oh
about s2ss, 900. The Republican papers
have seized the opportunity to cackle
iubilantiy. They are one and all an
nouncing, once more, that the Dingley
law is a success, and the general prosper
ity is soon to extend to the Federal treas
ury.
We hope the news Is true. We have no
desire to see another bond issue. and an
other period of depression such as the
Mckinley law brought about. But we fail,
as yet, to see any sign of the deficit near
ing its end.
We are now In the very height of the
season of Christmas Importation. The
revenue from customs duties, according to
all the precedents should be at its maxi
mum. and yet it is miserably small. To
promise sufficient revenue for the Govern
ment it should reach six or seven hundred
thousand ollar a day. Instead of this, 1t
is barely producing an average of $3.50, 000.
The only thing that is saving the treasury
from absolute bankruptcy is the continued
large receipts from internal revenue.
1t is true, as the Republican papers
argue, tina the sugar importations are
still below the normal, but not to the ex-
tent that these papers claim. We are i'm
porting, it is understood, about half what
we will import when the effect of the last
rush under the Wilson bill has passed
away. The belief of the best statisticians
appears to be that the full importation of
sugar will about compensate for the drop
in internal revenue which is expected af-
ter Christmas.
The only thing that any net increase of
revenue can really be expected from is the
importation of wool. whenever it begins,
probably next fall. and no man living can
tell whether the, proceeds will be great or
small. The expectation is that they will
be small.
7, nocouher fhe c,1stoms revenue will
take another drop. They will not begin to
grow again until March. Meantime the
January payments, the heaviest of the
year except July. will have to be met.
It is thought they may cause a deficit of
sl5. oo0, 600 for that month alone. The like
lihood now is that the total shortage for
the fiscal year ending July /, will exceed
$780, oe,o 900.
WHO has muzzled the fiery indignation
of Congressman Thomas McEwan? He
has not been heard from in reply to the
rakipg which Colonel Samuel D. Dickin-
son gave him in the columns of the Jour
nal' on November II. Ten days have
passed and neither a word of defence nor
a counter attack has emanated from the
Independent and free-spoken young states
man.
Surely it cannot be that Colonel Dickin-
sons fntimation that he had other chap
tiers in reserve has made the Congressman
conclude that discretion is the better

Nc,p York society and Count Lucic1s de
LiSle agreed pt1v ,rclt ,ptth ono another.
New York society and Count Lucien
de Lisle agreed very well with one an
other that winter. In these later times
we are become somewhat cautious and
skeptical in our dealings with eminent
foreigners whom we never heard OF until
they turn up in Fifth avenue with "a ro-
mantic and dazzling autobiography and
with some mysterious magnetism, which
ends by attracting the precious metals
out of our pockets, after which the high
born enchanter vanishes. We no longer
embrace this kind of people 80 impetu-
ously as we did. But though it may be
difficult to distinguish between good
paste and diamond we all recognize
the diamond itself when we see it. A
charlatan may make us doubt, but true
man carries conviction with him.
Count Lucien was no charlatan-the
keenest critics were agreed as to that.
His manners were good, without being
too good; his refinement was instructive,
and there was touch of soldierly stern
ness in him that gave his bearing weight
and distinction. He spoke ittlo about
himself, and never blew his own trumpet,
but he evidently expected to be treated
with consideration, and would perfectly
know how to assert himself upon occa-
sion. His standing, however, was that
of quiet and rather reserved gentle
man, desirous to be on kindly terms
with good people, and conscious, 1T
might be. that he could give them at
least as much as they could give him.
These qualities would have made him
acceptable in society, but his wealth
rendered his position unique, and, in
sl..e of the impossibifity of such thing
as American snobbery, it put some queer
modification into the spectacles of those
who came in contact with him. Few
spoke to him or thought of him exactly
as they would have done if ho had been
a man of ordinary fortune.
He actually had the monev-that was
