COMMENTING on the fact that anar-
chists held public meeting at Pater-
son, n. j., to celebrate the first ami
versary of the assassination of King
Humbert, of Italy, at which speeches
were made eulogizing the assassin
and praising his foul deed, the Pitts
boro Record aptly says: This seems
like carrying our boasted American
freedom rather too far, and such a
meeting is disgrace to any civilized
country" 1t will be remembered that
King Humbert was assassinated on

sic, particularly, is this the case. 1t is

JrLY TREASURY EXCESS,

The fact that the treasury receipts
for July are in excess of the disburse-
ments has given rise to some very
foolish comment, political and other
wise.
1t is true that such a thing has not
occurred before for fifteen years, since
1886. when there was surplus revenue
in July of $500. $50, but. as the New
York Journal of Commerce, strictly
uon-political Journal points out, the
previous regular deficit for July has
had no relation to politics. or to war or
peace, high tariff or low, boom per-
iods or depression. at has been at

merce, Ito the fact that the new aPpro-
priations become available July l and
money is disbursed freely by the var
fous departments Toward the end of
the fiscal year they find their appro

their expenditures. River and harbor
and public building expenses are usu-
ally incurred mainly in the summer and
fall; winter interferes with the work
and in the spring the officials curtail
their disbursements until new appro-
