The developments Of the next few
months are likely to shut the mouths
OF those papers which are calling for
another revision fthe tariff. looking to
more revenue. The receipts have stead.
lily increased month by month since the
Dingley law went into effect and are
larger from December than in any pre-
vious month. The expenditures, for
that month. on the contrary have been
light and the result has been an actual
surplus. In January the expenditures
will be large and though the receipts
will undoubtedly be larger than in De-
cembe-, there will probably be deficit
again. But the revenue is constantly
increasing. and with the earnest effort
being made by the republicans to keep
down the expenses. il is only question
Of short time when regular monthly
surplus will be the order ofthings. The
claims made by the friends of the
Dineley law that the end Of the present
fiscal year would show a total wiping
out Of the deficit seem to be about right.

A Mean Trick on the Boys.

A downtown contractor got a large
amount of work done for nothing a short
time ago, at the same time making himself
solid with a gang of patriotic youngsters.
Recently the schemer bought the materials
from an old building that was being torn
down, and in the lot were several thousand
bricks. These were cleaned and neatly piled
in the street. Now, the contractor owns a
vacant lot, on which he intends building
shortly, and for this will use the old bricks
he purchased. The lot is nearly mile dis
tant from where the bricks are, and as
hauling is expensive the contractor put a
brilliant scheme in operation to save this
expense His twelve-year-old son belongs
to a small army of patriotic youngsters
who style themselves the Cuban invad-
ers." There are about 125 of the boys, and
various attempts of theirs to build forts
have been thwarted by the police. The con-
tractor, through his son, offered them the
use of his lot for while, and generously
said they might use the old bricks to build
the fort If they would carry them to the
lot. The enthusiasm of the army was in
tense, and the next day being Saturday the
boys set to work with wagons. After
school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
the boys continued hauling, and by this
time the bricks had all been moved. Thurs
day the walls of the fort began to go up,
but the work received a sudden check
The contractor, with sorrow plainly writ
ten on his face, told the army that the
neighbors had complained to the police and
that he had received official notice to abate
the nuisance.

A Modern Japanese Steamship.

From the Hartford Courant
The Mitsubishi Company of Japan has
just launched a steel armored steamer iG2
feet long and 40 feet beam, with double
screws, triple expansion engines and in ev
cry way equal to the best product of west
ern shipyards except perhaps in the mat
ter of speed, which is restricted to fourteen
knots. She is intended for trade between
Yokohama and London, and in case of war
can be converted into an armored cruiser.
As might have been expected, the first ship
was built at considerable loss to the COM
pany, but the experience obtained Is con-
SidereG to be worth the cost. They have
resolved to eXpend on future ships exactly
the sum similar ships would cost to build in
Englard, depending not on tariff, but
the saving in bringing the ship to Japan for
extra profit, and assert that hereafter they
can build better ships for the same cost
than can be furnished on the Clyde. The
idea of putting an armor belt on a merchant
steamer and protecting the boilers and en-
gines is good one and will enable the Jap
panese TO convert her into an armore1
cruiser, not merely commerce destroyer
when one is needed. The vessel is also
built with a view to carrying an armament
of considerable weight when necessary.
