The Fiscal Year lust Ended

The fiscal year that closed June 80 left
in the Treasury a surplus of revenue from
all sources amounting to SIS, sol, 042
The Dingley tariff yields a very slight
increase in revenue over the fiscal year
1900 in the face of an increasing volume Of
imports-as its trainers intended it should
do. Customs receipts amounted for the
fiscal year just ended to $238, 1856, $40. In
ternal taxation produced the much larger
sum of 1904, 214, 4IO.
With the dropping of many of the special
war taxes, and the slight changes made by
the last Congress in the DINGHY tariff
schedules, it is estimated that $40, 900, 00C
less revenue will be collected in the fiscal
year just begun. And increased expendi-
lures, mainly for the army and navy, are
expected to devour the rest-and probably
more too.
The War Departments total expendi-
lures for the last fiscal year were $144, 543,
912, and the Navy Departments $50, $780,
7O5-an increase of $62, 600, 900 over the
expenditures of these two fighting depart
ments for the preceding fiscal year, an
increase of $121, 600, 600 over the expendi-
lures for the last fiscal year before the
Spanish war and the colonial fever
But times are flush, our exports have
passed the billion nd-a-haf mark and are
double the value of our imports, Europe is
actually scared at our prosperity why
make fuss over paltry $151, 100000
more or less spent for ''glory?" [World

Cuba,s Future.

A complementary dinner was given to
General Maxine Gomez, the great Cuban
General and patriot, and General T.
Estrada Palma, in New York last Saturday
night, at which the old hero made brief
speech in which he said.
ssThat he knew Cuba was indebted to
the United States but he never knew
until be came here how deep that debt
was-that it was not merely the obligation
of one people to another, but of brother to
brother. Every Cuban born and bred, he
said, lived and died with the idea of Cuba
ibre before him, with the hope of the peo-
ple being free and relieved of the yoke of
oppression.
zsCuba and the United States, said the
General, belong together. 1t is only a
question of gravitation when they will be
one. But at present, after the great strug-
gle, in which hundreds of thousands of lives
were sacrificed and when men returned to
their homes only to find their wives and
children starved to death in the restricted
barriers in which Weyler held them under
his policy of Recommendation, they felt that
they must have Cuba libre. 1t is realized
fully. he said, that Cuba cannot get along
without the United States, but the Cubans
want to feel freedom"
Americans cannot but be impressed by
the frankness of the old warriors words.
While recognizing every debt to United
States, how natural is the conclusion that
the one important consideration to the
Cuban who has sacrificed everything that
his country might be free, that anything
short of freedom would be hallow, I'M
satisfying result for his years of struggle,
suffering and privation.
The few words spoken by the old patriot
will find responsive cord n the heart Of
every true American.

The effect in Philadelphia Of the abnor-
NAL heat of the first week of July is par
TALLY told by the death rate of that week.
There were 853 deaths reported, of which
208 were ascribed to sunstroke or heat
prostitution. In commenting ON this
unusually high mortality, the Ledger says ::
''Many other deaths ascribed to other
causes were no doubt fastened by the
weakening effects of torrid weather. Dur
ing the first week of July, 1899, there were
433 deaths; during the first week of July,
1900, the number was 544, and the last
weeks list footed up 857. Leaving out of
consideration the deaths due directly to
heat, there is a great increase of deaths
compared with the corresponding weeks of
previous years, and this increase was I'M
doubtedly due to the great heat"

If the reformers could secure an honest
ballot and a fair count in Philadelphia tie
gang would be routed horse, foot and dra-
COON. But when the boss tells his election
officers how many majority to produce in
the various divisions, and is never disap-
pointed in the result, talk of reforming
Philadelphia by the ballot is idle If the
people of Philadelphia win back the right
to select their officials by the ballot they
must adopt new methods of procedure
Campaigns of education won't avail there.

The severe electrical storms following
the long period of intense heat during the
opening week of July have been more than
usually destructive to barns filled with new
hay. There is nothing new in this result,
as these objects seem to possess special
attraction to the fiery fluid, and farmers
have learned by past sad experience that
insurance is the only protection. Farmers
who have not learned this lesson and kept
their insurance policies in force, especially
at this season, have failed to be impressed
by the experience of others.
