Addicks and Delaware.

The late election left the republicans have occupied for four years-a dead lock. As at former elections, they elected a large majority of the legis lators, but this majority is divided be- tween the "Addicks" and the anti Addicks" crowds. That is, one faction is determined that J. Edward Addicks shall be elected to the United States senate; or, failing him, that nobody shall be elected. The other faction is equally determined that the gas man" shall not go to the senate. Meantime. Delaware remains without representa- tion in the United States senate, and it is by no means certain that the leg islature just elected will be able to do anything toward breaking the dead lock.
 MT. Addicks has written a letter to the Philadelphia Ledger. In it he refers with cOmplacency to his fourteen years
 
 scheme of his Delaware enemies this year was to obtain control of the legis- lature and send to the United States senate Willard Salisbury, "a democrat of the worst type" and General James H. Wilson, "a laughably impotent re- publican born in Illinois" He says that this scheme has miscarried. He pro- nounces it practically a certainty" legislators-a majority of the whole number-will go into caucus and elect two republicans to the United States senate. "Humanly speaking" he says, there is no power which can induce me to withdraw as a candidate while the two vacancies are unified" He ex- plains that Congressman Ball was ex- cised from the situation (by handing crats) because he had betrayed our confidence" Finally MT. Addicks re- bukes the great republican journals that have been "misrepresenting Dela- ware republicans" and advises them either to ascertain and publish the facts or to "confine themselves to the affairs of their respective localities"
 The attitude of the leading republi- can papers of the east is fairly illus trated by these comments from the Providence Journal:
 What a help MT. Addicks has been to the republican party in Delaware, Owing to his declaration that it should be 'Addicks or nobody as senator from that state, there is no Delaware man in the upper branch of congress, and now a democrat has been elected to the house of representatives at Washington because Addicks nomin- ated one of his favorites against the regular party nominee and divided the republican vote. The gas man is not a loyal republican. He is for himself first, last and all the time, and he has wrecked the republican organization in the little peninsular state"

The Pacific Cable Question.

Federal ownership of telegraph and cable lines has been enforced upon the government of late by the exigencies of administrations and military regu- lation in outlying districts where no commercial inducements exist for pri- vate enterprise in this direction. There is a network of government wires in Alaska. with cables along the coast. Originally designed merely to connect military posts. this Alaskan service now fulfills an important function in commercial intercOmmunication. Simi- larly, the Philippine telegraphic and cable service has been largely extended. The archipelago now has 1926 miles of cable and 5,1OS miles of land line to which the signal corps is steadily mak- ing additions of more or less import ance.
 It is from the vantage ground Of this nucleus of separate government es- tablishment that the advocates of Q Pacific cable to be laid and operated under federal authority propose to con- tinue their campaign at Washington during the coming winter fer their hearts desire. Congress has been ex- luCtant heretofore to embark the gov ernment directly in any trans Pacific cable enterprise. Some of the most strenuous advocates in the last house oi such d sohere have not been re turned to the next congress, and it will

The Officers and the Canteen.

Major General Leonard Wood adds Corbin and Brigadier General Funston in criticism of the workings of the "anti-canteen" law enacted by the last congress. AIluding to the assaults Funston for his advocacy of a return to the canteen system, General Wood said: General Funston has come out strong for the canteen, has he not? think we are all of one opinion on that subject" And it is well known that army officers are practically unanimous in saying that drunkenness and de- bauchery have been vastly increased by the abolition of the canteen, but the sentimental, impracticable people who coerced congress into the foolish Iegis- lation will never admit that they made mistake.
 A day or two after the Funston re- port was made public The Republican predicted that the general would be de- irged with abuse by the good temper ance" people who can see no merit in; anything put theoretical prohibition, and as matter of fact, no more intem- perate, abusive literature has lately gone into print than the diatribes which have been hurled at General Funston because of his verdict for the canteen.

The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railways report that 90,OOO people took advantage of their colonist rates to the Pacific coast and "took in" Arizona and this number it is estimated that 5000 became permanent residents of the coast country. Of these, Arizona of course, got her share. The railroads announce that they will make the low rates again next spring. and Arizona may accordingly look for d heavy inn migration. Especially will this be the case if we are admitted into the union.

The Growing Surplus.

According to treasury reports an in- crease in expenditures in excess of an increase in revenues leaves the govern ment balance sheet at the end of the first four months of the fiscal year with a surplus only about half as large as at the corresponding date year ago. but there is a considerable difference between a surplus, however moderate, and the deficit which was so freely pre- dicted by democratic politicians right after congress adjourned. The govern ment receipts for October amounted 10 $51, ,391, ,262, an increase of over S2,SOO,00O over those for the preceding month and of over s1, ,5O0, 900 as compared with the corresponding month of last year. Gus toms receipts furnish the main source of increase in revenue. though miscel- laneous receipts also contribute to the result. The expenditures for the month amounted to S46, ,S62, ,O0O, which repre- sented an increase of over s9,3O0,O0 as compared with the preceding month and of over s6, 6,2OO, 900 as compared with the corresponding month of last year. As will be seen by comparing the fig ures, there was an excess of receipts over disbursements for the month of over s4,5OO,O 900.
 For the four months ending with Oc- tOber the receipts amounted to $191,- SS3,147, which represented an increase of over s6,OOO, 900 as compared with the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year. As usual, the bulk of the increase was in the revenue from GUS toms, which showed a gain of over SIS, S,60O, 900 as compared with the corre- ssponding period of last year. The re- ceipts from internal revenue showed decrease of over s16.90O,OOO as compared with the corresponding months of last year. Miscellaneous receipts showed an increase of over $4, ,1OO,O 900. The expen- ditures for the four months amounted to s184. .325, ,97o, an increase of over Sl9,- 700, 900 as compared with the corre- spending period of last year. Increases are shown in every item under this
 
 lures showed an increase of over s. 300, 900, those on account of the war de- partment one of nearly S5,50O, 900 and those for the navy a gain of over S4,- 5OO,000. Disbursements on account of Indians exhibited a gain of over S1,300.- 900. those for pensions one of over S1,SOO0OO and those on account of in- terest an increase of over s3,100,O0O.
 4 balance struck at this time last year showed that the receipts exceeded the expenditures by over 7,300,0 ,00O The excess for the four months ending with October this year amounted to over s13,500. 900, or a little less than half of the surplus year ago. It win be seen from this that substantial surplus is taking the place of the de- felt with which the first month of the fiscal year closed. At the end of July the expenditures showed an excess of about S7,50O, OO0 by the close of August the deficit had declined to about S1,500,- 900. At the end of September this de- felt had given way to a surplus of a little over s9,OOO, 900, which was in- creased over s4,5OO, 900 during Octo- Der. A continuance of this process, it will be readily seen, would result in the piling up of a considerable surplus at the end of the fiscal year.
