Growth OF the Revenue.

But for the war there would have
been diminishing deficit in the ma
tional revenues. Assistant Secretary
Howell makes public the following
statement in regard to the receipts and
disbursements of the government DUR
ing the last fiscal year:
"The receipts, including Pacific rail-
road items, were S4O5, 1921 1886; expen-
ditures, including Pacific railroad items,
S443, 1858 ,582; leaving deficit of $685.
047 PAT. If we exclude the receipts
from Pacific railroads, amounting to
1854 ,751 1923, and the expenditures on
this account of 50, $40, 1868, the account
would stand as follows: Receipts,
S340,570,111; expenditures, $43S, 919,-
2l4, leaving deficit of sos, 249, JOB.
"This large deficit is accounted for,
in part, by the extraordinary demands
upon the treasury to carry on the war
A conservative estimate of the war ex-
penditures during the months of March,
April, May and June is 5000, 000.
If we deduct this from the sos, 249, JOB
the deficit would be S42 Pas, JOB. In
other words the deficit would not have
exceeded this amount on peace basis.
AT the end of the first seven months of
the fiscal year the deficit was SOL ,901 =
1923. Deduct from this S42, 249, JOB,
and we find that the deficit has been
reduced during the last five months of
the fiscal year. SO, 652,719.
cit thus appears that during the last
five months of the year our receipts ex-
ceeded our expenditures on peace
basis over nine and half millions; or,
to express it another way, the tariff law
of 1897 produced during the last five
months of the fiscal year a revenue
which exceeded our ordinary expendi-
lures by over S9,000,0 200" New York

SOLDIERS BUDGET,
Those Behind.

She pinned rose upon his blouse
And kissed him long and sweet.
The order rang, the ranks we're formed
And moved adown the street.
For some must act, and some must cheer,
And some with tears are blind
Which braver-those who haste away,
or those who stay behind.
While Yankee tars on Yankee ships
Uphold Columbia's name,
And boys In blue on land and sea
Her sovereignty proclaim,
Each shot strikes hearts whose tender throbs
The gunner ne'er OWNED.
God aid the forces at the front.
God pity those behind.
And many a mother weeps and prays,
And many q lass Is wan.
And many father dreams of days
When he was marching on,
And many a one finds peaceful paths
With duty stern combined
Heigh-hol there's much for those who fight.
There's naught for those behind.
Judge,

From end to END of the long blue ranks
Rose up the ringing cheers,
And many q powder blackened face
Was furrowed with sudden tears,

And hair and beard of snow,

Rode little old Fighting Joe.

has been literally revised. Special
attention is given to the live stock ex-
hibits. and efforts are being made to
secure the best possible types Of all

to the farmers Of the state to go to
the fair and study these animals; see
them judged by expert judges, and
thus learn their characteristics and
qualities. There are increased premi-
ums in the dairy department, the
woman's department and in both the
agricultural and horticultural depart
ments. One thousand five hundred
dollars are offered for county exhibits.
The main uilding will be made more
attractive than ever and the machin-

1t is understood that the announce
ment of satisfactory progress by the
Canadian American Commission will
shortly be followed by another that
treaty has been agreed upon. II is
known, however, that such result can
be obtained only by material change
in the position the Canadians have
heretofore taken as TO what should con-
stitute commercial reciprocity - the
real object of the Canadians in taking
part in this commission. The ULited
States has always been willing to have
real commercial reciprocity with Cana
da, as with other nations, but strongly
opposed to the ug-handle article which
Canadians have heretofore sought. AS
soon as the Canadians are willing to give
as much as they wish to take, treaty
can probably be arranged.

The sort of stuff the average oppo.
nent of the policy of the Presid, Mt
with respect to The retention of The
Philippines is publishing to bolster up
his opposition is well illustrated by
his extract from an editorial article Of
the Burlington Free Press, on "Immi-
grafton and the Philippines" "If We
cannot safely attempt TO assimilate adj
ditional European .immigranLs cOmiu Z
to this country in small groups how
can we hope TO safely take in at one
gulp 5000, 900 or 10000 600 of people
more than half Of whom are savages?"
The stupidity of this SOFT of thing is
beyond adequate characterization No
one can be "taken in" by this "rot,"
not even one of those Philippine saw
ages. The course of public opinion in
America, like an arrow to its mark, is
wingng straight and true to the sup
port of President McKinley's policy of
retaining all the Philippines. 1t is
neither DETECTED from its course nor
retarded in its fight by such puerie
gusts as this of the Free Press, or the
stronger blasts from opponents of larger
mental caliber.

The rotund legislative reporter Of the
Free Press allows an accumulation of
green-eyed professional jealousy to corrode
his good sense when he bewails the fact
that the DAILY JOURNAL has spoken well of
several deserving members Of the House.
The bile of the Free Press comes from the
fact that in the DAILY JOURNAL that sheet
has during the session found most formjd-
able and successful competitor. The sue
Cess of this paper in the field which it has
so we'll covered has seriously iuterfered
with the revenues of the Free Press, which
has come to be of at least secondary inn
portance in the legislative field. Numerous
members have expressed 10 the writer their
chagrin that they were led into subscribing
to he Free Press by the misleading and
ceaseless opportunities OF a frothy solicitor
before they had time and opportunity to
compare it with the DAILY JOURNAL. Two
members from Windham county are par
ticularly wroth at the mistake into which
they were led But not counting all that
belongs to the JOURNAL which II didn't get,
the fact remains that it has the largest paid
circulation ever given a legislative daily in
this city. And two years hence the legis-
lators will not be mislead by the 1--WE are
