One of the War PrOhl ems.

In some quarters the republican breth-
rem are beginning to discuss the treas
ury surplus which the over-issue of
bonds and the increasing revenue from
the new war taxes is piling up. The
war coming to an end sooner than was
anticipated. has left some problems be-
hind it, and among them is this qucs-
ton of surplus which is partly the re-
suit OF this sudden return 30 a state Of
peace.
1t is comforting to patriotism to know
that the national stronghold is adequate
to all demands and it is probable that
events will justify the expectations Of
those who predict that some of the new
taxes will be retained, at least for
some years to come. But these eypcc-
tatiOns have nothing to do With he fact
OF a surplus in the treasury--a surplus
which will go on growing until some
definite step in taken to provide for its
dispersion into the ordinary channels
of business. and to prevent it from ac
cumulating.
We are not sounding any note Of
alarm, nor are we selling the question
by it's political ears. but simply calling
attention to matter which, in the
course of a year or two, will have more
Importance than now attaches to it, We
do not propose to discuss seriously the
proposition made by some Of the saints
of sound money that the surplus be dis
persed by redeeming and retiring the
greenbacks. The Washington Post
thinks that such a proposition will not
be Hospitality entertained, and we agree
with it,
Nevertheless. the surplus itself will

The Populists Coming Back.

AS the state campaign progresses the
collapse of the populist programme be-
comes more and more evident. Men who
have heretofore been prominent in that
party have either returned to the demo
cratic party or retired to the seclusion
Of private life.
This result has been FASTENED by an
ill-timed effort of the populist leaders to
load the voters of their party with the
dangerous responsibilities and infamous
results of a coalition with the negro
party. In fact this attempted coalition
is itself the result of a knowledge on the
mart of the leaders that they can no
LONGER control the white voters who
have heretofore given their party its
strength and responsibility. They know
that the democratic platform, free from
evasions and subterfuges, commends it
self to the Endorsement and support OF
honest and patriotic men everywhere;
and they know also that the democratic

Of the four powers which rank ahead

first, with 1871 1871 square miles, Russia
next with S,660394 square miles, China

Even with Porto Rico and the Philip
pines included the territory of the United
Staes will fall short OF that of France
and consequently the annexation of the
islands will not affect the order in which
the United States comes in the list or
tho great powers. In conjunction, the
great powers which we have named own
three-fourths Of the territory of the
globe.

every dollar of it comes right out OF

The Mockin @ Bird.

When the shadows of the evening
Creep across the grassy void.
Rlithcly singing near my dwelling
Comes saucy songster bird.
Gay and plaintive are the carols
That he sings in matchleSS strains,
While pcrforce my smile enkindles,
For he sings my own refrains.
Listen to his mockingS artleG,
Deeply is this lesson taught:
BY our every act an impress
on some other life is wrought

THINGS THEATRICAL.
Glen Echo-"olivette.v


AS a general thing no worse punish
ment could be prescribed for lover Of
music than that he should be compelled
to sit through a modern presentation Of
an old opera In the case of the Parry
Opera Company's rendering of Audran's
'Olivette'' last night at Glen Echo. that
parsonage could have had no greater
pleasure prepared for him. The produc-
tion was remarkable in every sense of the
word; not remarkable considering the
prices or the time for rehearsals or any,
thing else, but just remarkable, Rarely,
II ever. has the tuneful and brilliant little
piece been better sung or acted in this
city.
In the presentation there was no evil
dence of the fact that only a day had
ensued since the same organization had
been seen in THE Mikado." Every MEM
ber of the company was perfect in his or
her lines, and there was absolutely no
hitch throughout the performance The
excellence of Harry Carters stage man
agement was shown in a hundred WAYS.
and Mr.. Parry's careful work with the
chorus has had the result of furnishing
the most thoroughly efficient and capable
one seen here recently The transition

betrayed the existence of a really fine
voice in his rendering Of Bob Up Sc

of the treats Of the performance. Miss
Crater sung the famous Crying Song"

modern supplementary verses regarding

of its merit in her hands. George Brod-

"sea dogs" looked enough alike to cast
reflections upon each other. and each

ever failed to VITA an encore with their
solos. Harry Carer was a laughable
