Good Chance for a Deficit,


The bill to reduce national taxes goes
into effect on the 1st of July, with the
exception of a few paragraphs which
take effect Immediately. The reduc-
tlon effected by the bill is estimated at
SAC. 100000. 1t is S1o,OOO.OOO more than
tary Gage in his report of last Decem-
Der, and at least $4O.00O.OOO more than
he now thinks can be spared in view of
the exceeding liberality of Congress.
The facts justify the conclusion that
the general government will need more
rather than less revenue in the imme-
diate future. The most important of the
facts tending to this conclusion are
these.
During the last calendar year the
revenues Of the national government
except from postage and sales of public
lands. amounted to S574, 600, round
figures. The postal revenues are less
than the postal expenditures, which
also are omitted from the treasury
statements. Mr.. Gage was recently

BY the bill which passed the receipts
of 574,OOJ,000 for the last calendar
year will be cut to S534, 100000 for the

made There is an excellent prospect.

CONNECTICUT WESTERN CASE

.tIE '
 The railroad committee of the legis- lature yesterday afternoon voted by 6 to to report against the Connecticut Western extension.
 Our good natured neighbors of the Hartford Times a short time ago caught on to the sentiments of the committee and hereupon blandly an nounced that that body had been set up in the interests of the "Consolidat- ed' road. Setting aside the discourte- ous reflection upon Speaker Light and the nine members of the committee it. self, it may be well to state that as a matter of fact when the committee was announced nobody knew whether 1t was trolley" or "steam" in it's sym pathies or how 1t stood as regards the Consolidated" road. We cannot re- call session when those about the capitol most desirous and most likely to know the inside relations of appoint ments were more in doubt than this year.
 It is a committee made up in that way that has heard the arguments and has decided by two to one against the Springfield extension scheme. The points have been most effectively made that the through line was not needed, that experience showed there was no business for it, that Hartford had con tributed $750,000 on condition of the roads coming here and not going to Springfield, and that this grant would put into the hands of nonresident manipulators the opportunity to com pei the Consolidated" to buy them out to their own great advantage, as was done In the case of the proposed ex- tension of the Valley road years ago.
 The committee seems to us to have made the wise decision and We trust that each house of the general assem- bly, will sustain the report. There has been altogether too much ugly talk on this matter and we are sure that later this will be regretted by good people who for purpose have been worked into an artificial heat about it. They are perfectly sincere in their zeal We have no desire to have them boycotted or black-listed or suffer particle of harm for having opinions and the cour- age to declare them. But we do regret that these same people have not been willing to accord the same privileges to others This is a free country and the right to differ is open to us all. The Litchfield county people who have been filled with fairy tales about mak- ing the Connecticut Western into arl- other New York Central cannot take a judicial a view of the situation as those can who look at it from dis tance.l It has been our opinion all the time that the only question in this case was when the disappointment was coming, and if the extension were granted and built the disappointment would be the greatest in the end.- Hartford Courant.

 The last issue of the Ave Maria published the following about a de- ceased member of the Notre Dame order, and one who was well known here: "A life of admirable devoted ness was that of the venerable Mother Ascension, of the Sisters of the Holy Cross who passed to her reward at Notre Dame on the 1st inst. She was the last of the little band of Sisters associated with the late Father Sorin when he began his fruitful labors for the cause of religion and education ip the United States. She was native of France, and had been a religious for upward of half century. Having been mistress of novices in her eem- munity for many years, imparting to numerous others her spirit of piety and devotedness, the good that she did lives after her. The success which has attended the labors of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in our country is in great measure due to. Mother Ascen- sion, and she deserves to rank among the truest benefactors of the Uniyer- sity of Notre Dame.''

s'It may be,v says a writer in the New England Democrat, that we can govern Cuba better than the Cubans. It may be that under our rule property would be more secure and life easier and happier. But that is not the point at issue. We promised the Cubans in- dependence. They did not ask us to interefere between them and Spain. They did not ask our aid in driving Spain out of the island. All they asked us was to recognize their inde- pendence. We went further. We declared them free and went to war with Spain to make our declaration good. Now they ask us to make good our promise to them. If they cannot govern the island as well as we, it is their island. and they want to govern it, and that Is all we have any right to consider. The American colonies were better governed, in certain sense, under British rule than when they became independent. But the colonists were determined to rule themselves, and they did so." U

Speaking of this country's policy Of protection, writer in one of the New York papers says ssit is not wise to be nasty in changing our present policy. More than once in our history our manufacturers expressed their confi- dence in their ability to stand up against any. amount of competition that England might bring to bear, but, soon discovered that the boast was premature. Thus the heavy reductions in the duties on eottons in 1885 was supposed to be of no importance be- cause America had machinery for the production of better cotton goods than England could show. The result was disaster to our cotton industry. Again in 1883 the woolen manufacturers of New England were quite confident that they could stand heavy cut in the duties on woolens, if they were all lowed to get foreign wool at lower rates. Before twelve months half the woolen mills were shut down or run ming on half time It is better to take no risks, and in this to copy the shrewd policy of England, which did not abolish protective duties until her manufactures had enjoyed them for 51O years! Less than that will do for America, but no manufacture is really established. by protection in the life time of one generation. 1t is differ ent question whether the time has not come to repeal the duties on those ar ticles whose production in America is controlled by trusts. The argument for protection always has gone upon the supposition that our home competj- ton is sufficient safeguard against auy exaction in the prices of home made goods The trust robs us of this security, and thus abolishes the tcondi- tions under which protection has been proposed and defended. There would be no unfairness in giving half a years notice to all such combinations that they either must resolve them selves into their original clements or

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA

The new nation starts off with a sparse population of 17,730, cover ing a territory of 2,972,9O6 square miles. The population is a trifie under the population of the United States ill 179O, which was estimated at 3,929,- 214, and the area of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, 3,025,609 square miles, is slightly in excess of that of the Southern continent. Owing to the large areas of uninhabitable land the states that make up the commonwealth of Australia are of enormous size, Vic toria and Tasmania excepted. The lat ter with 26, ,125 square miles comes very near to West Virginia's 24,7S0 square miles, but it's population of 1S2, 300 is small compared with West Virginia's 96S, 800, but Victoria with S7,884 square miles and population of 1, ,162, 300 compares very nearly with Minnesota, with an area of S3, ,365 square miles and a population of 1.751, ,395. New South Wales, with 310,7O0 square miles, is much larger than Texas, but has about one-third of it's 3,04SS2S inhabitants, while west ern Australia, with the enormous area of 975,920 square miles, has popu- lation of III 1,000, but littleee larger than two of Philadelphia's biggest wards.

LAST OF GREAT TRIO
Retires from Active Journalism
 After Years of Usefulness.
Col. A. K. Mcclure, Contemporary and Rival of Greeley and Dana, Re- HnQuishes Charge of PhtI-
 adeIphia Times.

The retirement of Col, A. K. Mcclure from the editorial staff of the Philadel- phia Times marks the passing from journalism of the last of the "old guard" or those few men who little over a quarter of a century ago swayed
 the public mind and wielded great power in the politics of the land. Col. Mcclure, Horace Greeley and Charles A. Dana were three men who helped to make history in the days preceding and during the civil war, and Col Nc
 Cure is the last of that famous trio. Few men in the newspaper business have rounded out such career as Col. Mcclure. While Dana was several years the senior of Col. Mcclure, it is inter esting to note that their entry into journalism was almost contemporane- ous, for it was after two years of Serv- ice in Boston that Dana became asso- ciated with the New York Tribune in 1S47, and Col. Mcclure entered the field in 1s46. Neither Greeley nor Raymond nor Bennett completed such service. There are few parallels among the living or dead. Col. Mcclure began with the elder journalism which was little more than political pamphleteer- ing, kept pace with the modern jour- nalism and showed himself equally successful in both. He has seen the social, material and political muta- tions of over half century and has been an active and potent factor in the vital and momentous history of more than generation. The men who have crossed swords with him know the power of his blow and we'll understand the necessitylof going into battle with him with visor down, with armor com plete and without loose joint in their harness. Notwithstanding the force which he brought to the fight, no one who has been brought into association with him can fail to testify that, how ever sharp the clash and however
