Revenues and Appropriations.

On the eve of the assembling of Congress
We are hearing a great deal about the reve-
nues Are we collecting too much money
from the people? Is the surplus In the
treasury unnecessarily large? Would 1t not
be wise to reduce the figures all around?
Do We need any longer the amounts de-
rived from the Spanish war taxes? Should
not such Of those taxes as still remain on
the books be repealed? Is not the party in
power committed by platform promises to
such action? If such action is in order
should II not be taken at once?
In reply to these questions there are,
Yankee fashion, other questions. Were the
governments legitimate demands ever be-
fore so large as now? Is 1t not imperative
that they be met? Larger appropriations
for both the army and the navy are con-
ceded on all sides. and that we are about to
embark at last on that expensive canal en-
terprise Is the subject of general congratu-
lation- Big things call for big money.
Would 1t not be wise therefore for Congress
to go slow in deciding a matter SO momen-
tous? There Is no wide clafnor for relief
from taxation The people are not groan-
ing under burden II we are collecting
more than ever before, we are on the eve
Of spending more than ever before, and as
the money is coming in from sources prop
erly assessed by past Congress why not
continue the arrangement. at least until
we know to what extent the new national
policies commit us?
The pressure for a reduction of internal
taxes comes. as usual. from the whisky,
the brewing and the tobacco interests.
And yet those interests should always bear
liberal share OF the public burdens They
should not OF course be Overtaxed. But
that admission leads to the question. Are
they overtaxed now? Are they not able to
stand the rates OF duty imposed? Could
the money collected from them come from

The President and Patronage.

The President Is getting new line on
patronage-on its full power, and on the
numerous agencies employed by those who
seek it. He was not without pretty full
information on the subject when he reach
ed the White House. AS civil service COM
missioner, as police commissioner for the
city of New York. and as governor of the
state Of New York, he had looked into 1t
both from a theoretical and a practical
standpoint, and had made a record for
himself as a believer In the merit system in
the distribution of the higher as well as
of the lower grade Of places. But the
largest view Of the subject is necessarily
that obtained from the White House, and
Mr.. Roosevelt is now almost daily having
his attention directed to it. Those who
are seeking places either for themselves or
for others find no difficulty in approaching
him, and they are heard with patient at
tention.
One of the most famous and aggressive
champions of the spoils system maintained
to the end of his days that the civil
service law always broke down at the
White House. 1t was his contention that
no President could distribute the larger
patronage at his disposal in the spirit Of
the law. He would be seduced from what
own interests. or by the interests Of those
whose advice he asked. The political
worker would insist upon his reward with
out regard to whether he had other claims
to recognition, and in some way he would
manage to obtain it. To deny him would
be to throw a chill over political activity
In those quarters where 1t counts for
most.
The President has probably heard this
theory thoroughly elaborated. It obtains
in all circles where the merit system Is
unpopular. But it rests in the main upon
the proposition that political workers are,
as rule, of the shady class of mankind
and must be taken just as they are. One
might suppose sort of bargain to be
struck between the worker and the candi-
date for high office, by which, in return
for votes delivered at the polls the catdi-
date is to stand for" the worker with
the President and in turn secure him, the
worker, place, no questions to be asked
by the President, and no representations
to be made by the candidate except that
the worker is a good fellow, and lone of
us
But the political workers are not as a
rule of the shady class of men, Very
many of them are men of the first CAPACITY
and the highest standing at home, and
easily equal to, and desirous of filing, the
places of responsibility which are at the
disposal of the President of the United
States. And now that it is generally un-
derstood that Mr.. Roosevelt wants only
men Of this kind presented for appoint
ment we may expect to see such making
their ambitions known, and taking prece-
dence of Tom, Dick and Harry, whose
stock In trade, before election and after
Is impudence and assertiveness.

Cuba and ReciprOcity.

The arrival in this country today OF a
delegation of Cuban business men, come 10
lay by formal petition the proposition OF
reciprocity between Cuba and the United
States before the President. is an event Of
which we should all take friendly note. The
time is we'll selected Reciprocity leads the
way in all of our discussions, and unless
the public is very much misadvised we are
on the eve of some action of a general na-
ture by Congress on the subject The coun-
try has reciprocity under consideration, the
President is giving 1t thought and a con-
vention composed of the foremost of Ameri-
can manufacturers is discussing 1t in this
city. These Cuban gentlemen. therefore,
will find themselves breathing an atmos-
phere of business and trade relations. And
besides imparting information as to the
commercial affairs of Cuba, they will alb
sorb much valuable information to the
commercial affairs of the United States. 1t
is as essential that they should understand
precisely where we stand as for us to un-
derstand precisely where they stand.
But, 1t is contended in some quarters,
Cuba should not be put upon the same
plane with other countries in this matter.
Our relations with her are different from
those we hold with any other foreign coun-
try. Is she. in every sense, the question is
asked, a foreign country? Do we not owe
her, In return for what we have demanded
and received under the Platt amendment,
concessions and considerations which will
admit her into our markets with her prod
ucts on terms of advantage?
Let us turn the question against the ques-
TONERS. Do We? Are we not under obliga-
tions under the Platt amendment to render
to Cuba political services fully cOmpensa-
tive for everything she grants us? Is it
nothing that we are to defend her against
all outside interference? Is it nothing that
we are to stand between her and all foreign
aggression from across the water? With
out our shield she would be a tempting
mark. She is still the .Iem of the Antilles,
rich in resources and opportunities, and
certain to become under any fairly decent
and intelligent government wonderful
little country. But she is so little she
needs a protector in a condition of affairs
where the small fry all over the world are
obliged for their safety to keep we'll in
shore.
We have done a great Geal for Cuba and
II may be mentioned only for the purpose
of repeating what has often been said, that
we did 1t with pleasure and for the best
purposes But this matter of commercial
reciprocity is a matter of business, not to
be decided by other than business consid-
eratiOns We have our own trade and plant
ing interests to remember. and We cannot
afford to put them aside even for a people
toward whom We feel so friendly an inter-
est as the Cubans. Their prosperity will
always be wished for and assisted, but our
own must In the nature of things, be of
the first concern with us

Impure Virus.

The development Of tetanus or lock-iaw
among the school children of PHILADELPHIA.
as a result of a general vaccination, fol-
lowing so closely upon an outbreak of the
same disease in St. Louis resulting from
the use of diphtheria anti-toxin, will cause
a serious consideration in all cities of the
methods whereby these preventive and
curative remedies are prepared The pa
tlent upon whom these agencies are used
is absolutely at the mercy of sloyenIy
methods in their preparation. The rene
dies themselves are virtually disease or
ganisms, so chosen and prepared and ad-
ministered as to fight the primary disease
principle with it's own kind. In yaccina-
tion the success of the operation depends
upon the innoculation of a virus which in
reality precipitates a disease in itself and
the course of which, it is believed, renders
the system immune from infection. 1t may
be that the apparent success Of vaccina-
caused operators to grow careless. Ger
tainly the Philadelphia and ST. Louis cases
reveal a gross neglect of those precautions
which should be observed in such matters.
There is danger of a pronounced public
antipathy toward these modern agencies
which involve the direct Infection of the
system. 1t would be a sad blow to science
If the blunders or carelessness of a few
individuals should bring discredit upon
remedial systems which appear to have
wholly justified themselves. Rigid inves-

remaining war taxes are to go those at
taching to interests placed under tribute

to precedence
We shall hear much for months to come
on the subject Of economy. The topic will
appeal to the political managers on both
sides. 1t is good cry, and properly inter-
preted, serves a good purpose. The party
in power cannot afford policy of waste or
extravaganza. But neither can 1t afford a
policy of cheeseparing. The position the
country occupies before the world today Is
with the consent of both parties, and what
is necessary properly to support that posi-
tion should not be difficult of ascertain
ment. At any rate. it would be better to
provide little too much than too little,
and let the people pass upon the bills at
the polls in the light Of full and clear
explanation of them.

Van SAINT and the Railroad Combine

1t may be questioned whether Governor
Van SAINT ot Minnesota can score a practi-

which have lately been brought under the
same ownership. He may succeed in driv-
Ing out of that state the central organiza-
tion which is to manage the pooling of the
stock, but there Is no guarantee that 1t will
not find harbOr of refuge elsewhere The
governor is reported as claiming that he is
assured that Montana, North Dakota and
Washington Will follow the lead of Mime
sofa in this action, and the intimation is
strong that a concerted movement all along
the northwestern line is about to be taken

Will be the first serious skirmish between

posed to enact special laws directed against

holding company of the pool 1t is claimed
on behalf of the railroads that this COM
pany cannot be affected by legislation fol-
lowing the transaction. On the other hand
the Minnesota courts in 1885 decided against
the validity of a lease of the Northern
Pacific to the Great Northern on grounds
which are now to be used as the basis of
the present anti-merger movement. Wheth-
er Governor Van SAINT succeeds in driving
the merger out OF Minnesota or not, he will
afford opportunity for a close study of the
people In action against the constantly ad-
Vancing tendency of capital to combine.

England has much to fear in this direction.

Russia in exchange for hands-off policy

the subject. No Anglo-Russian entente,

Russian alliance and abstaining from anti

framed at st. Petersburg, and not at Paris.

Tariff Reformers' Consolation.


The Springfield Republican has recently
suggested consolation for liberal tariff
men. in case no change in the present rate
of duties Is made at the coming session of
Congress, which applies in a political sense.
1t calls attention to the present prosperous
condition Of the country, in which q natural
law of good times and the reverse is fol-
lowed. Good times have held so long now
that a change In this respect must come
before great while, and it may come
shortly. II 1t should appear coincidentally
with change in the tariff in the way Of
lower duties, the old cry would be renewed
that it was the tariff that made the bad
times, whereas, If the tariff continues as II
is, this pretense cannot be resorted to- Our
own impression is that the continuation of
high duties, by making plethora of pro-
duction here while shutting out the foreign
market. from denying reciprocity in the
tariffs. may precipitate these hard tipaes,
but high protectionists. who are not in the
habit of looking beyond the immediate self
ishness of the hour, appear to be ready to
run the risk of this.
