No surplus.

From the Boston Advertiser.
There is no surplus this year, and 1t
is doubtful whether there will be any. On
January of the present year there was
held in the Treasury and in national bank
depositaries as assets of the government
the sum of S3S00O0, 900; and ON October 1
the accounts showed but 1868. 100000 There
has been no surplus" then, but an actu-
al deficit of S000,090, during the present
year. By chasing arbitrarily a certain
proportion of expenditures as 'extraor-
dinary" the books show surplus above
ordinary expenditures'-but that Is a very
different thing from an actual surplus, as
any business man can understand.
OF course, if the general public under
stood this, there would be no harm in
such methods of bookkeeping; but the
public does not understand IL. Each time
the Treasury accounts show this paper
surplus, there is a public chorus of re-
joicing that the money in the Treasury
is increasing" when, as a matter of fact,
the money is decreasing, owing 10 the
heavy drain Of military expenditure. If
the war revenue tax were entirely repeal
ed, the country would have to issue bonds.
as in Cleveland's administration, to meet
the expenses OF the government, or else
abstain from further attempts at mill
tary conquest.

Experience Has Demonstrated that Labor
Cannot Be Prevented from Organizing.

Sann0t Be Prevented from Grganizing.
From the sprlnfheId Republican.
The cotton manufacturers of the South
are resisting TO the utmost the introduc-
ton OF trade unionism. and in North Car
olina they have Just won their first battle.
There, IN some twenty or more mills, the
operatives had been locked out two
months ago because they had joined a
trade union organized by e1nissaries from
New England, with some little backing
doubtless from the cotton manufacturers
of this section, who are interested, and
fairly so, In seeing some equality Of labor
conditions established as between the two
sections in manufacturing The North Car
olina mills have now been started up again,
in some cases with new help and In other
cases with help which has been forced to-
abandon trade associations. 1t is regard
ed as a death blow TO labor unionism in
that State at least.
But those who so consider the matter
will almost certainly be disappointed. tt
would be difficult in any event to keep the
Southern mill workers disorganized, and it
will be doubly difficult when the labor
union fiourishes throughout the rest OF the
country, The struggle against organized
labor began in Massachusetts, much as IL
has In North Carolina, and was conducted
through long and bitter period It was
as far back as 1894 that labor began to
move In this direction, but it was not un-
til 1881 or later that the State began to
legislate for labor 10 any extent worth
mentioning, and as late as 1872 there was
strong movement among manufacturers
TO secure the abolition of the State labor
bureau, then only two or three years old,
which. under Gen. Oliver, had recon-
mended reduced factory hours and the
like. Nearly all Of our labor legislation
has come since then, and much of il very
recently. It has been some time, however,
since the manufacturers began to see the
utility of attempting to suppress all or
ganization among the wage-workers. Some
effort in this direction is still to be OBJ
served every little while, but 1t is spas
modic and without any general effect.
Labor seems to be more widely organized
in Massachusetts to-day than ever before.
The bitterness of Southern opposition to
the labor union proceeds largely from the
recognition that that sections advantage
In cotton manufacturing over New Eng
lend rests In considerable part upon the
liberty to employ child labor and upon
the much lower wages paid; and that Ia
Dor unionism means the abolition of child
labor and the scaling up of wages some
where near the Northern level Organiza-
tion among the employees will according
ly be fought to the last extremity. But
1t is idle to suppose that the Southern en-
plOye can forever be prevented from or
ganizing when it is known, and when the
Northern example is ever before his eyes.
that through organization lies the way to
better wages and more tolerable factory
conditions.

To Tax McrfgExes.

From the Springfield Republican.
The old effort to make the holder OF a
mortgage share IN the payment OF taxes
levied upon the real estate has been re-
viyed in Missouri through a constitutional
amendment just adopted. This requires
that in the valuation Of real estate for
taxation the amount Of the mortgage
shall be deducted-the owner paying a
tax only on the remainder. while the
holder or the mortgage must be assessed
for the amount OF the same. The outside
loan companies are now threatening 20
withdraw from the State. but that is not
their only way OF escape. The effect OF
the amendment. If IL is vigorously enforc-
ed will be 10 make money more costly

Long after Sir Arthur Sullivan is for
gotten as the composer of comic and seri-
Gus operas he will be remembered as the
man who gave to the world "a Lost
Chord" Wherever the charms of music
have soothed the savage breast this song
has been sung. Every tyro has banged II
on piano, cornet, or stringed instrument
and all degrees of tenors. bassos, barv-
tones, sopranos. altos, contraltos, and fall
settos have beloved 1t forth. Yet, not
withstanding its amazing abuse, "a Lost
Chord" Is a piquant hors d'oeuvre al
nearly every musical feast among the peo-
pie of all countries. 1t is as welcome al
divine service as at the drawing-room or
after the ball. Everybody knows one or
two stanzas Of the poem, which consists
of seven. The first, second, and last usu-
ally are sung. All his life Sir Arthur re-
Deated:
have sought. but seek It vainIy,
That one lost chord divine,
That came from the soul Of the organ
And enter'd into mine.
All his pain and sorrow are quieted now.
and all perplexed meanings are linked into
one perfect peace. He sang:
II may be that Deaths bright angel
VIII speak in that chord again;
II may be that only in Heaven
shall hear that grand Amen
