ROM GOOD Democratic au-
X thority-the Washington cor
Il respondence or the Philadel-
phia Recortl---we learn that
the surplus in the United States treas
ury for the fiscal year closing June SO
Is likely to be the largest on record
The Record correspondent estimates it
ut $10O,000,00O. Last year it was $II-
100000; the year previous, 19,000,0OO In
his analysis of this remarkable show
ing he emphasizes two reasons: in
creased receipts and decreased ex-
penses, both creditable to Republican
administration.
Customs receipts for the ten elapsed
months of the fiscal year increased
$40, 100000. Internal revenue receipts,
however, fell away $40 000OO00 as COM
pared with last year, in consequence OF
the reduction in war taxes which be-
came effective last July. 1t is in ex-
penditures that the showing is most
striking. For the ten elapsed months
of this fiscal year they were $349, ,397, Asa
as compared with $3S4,21227S for the
same months of the previous year
This decline in government expenses
has been chiefly in the war department
from $112,93l 800 to $S4, ,12S.344, a de-
crease of nearly $1,000 a day.
The taking off of all remaining war
taxes as the Republican majority plans
to do, will reduce receipts about ST.
100000 year, but these figures show
that there would still be surplus large
enough to meet all ordinary emer-
gencies. Our military expenses are
likely to decrease yet further as pacifi-
cation proceeds in the Philippines and
all but a few troops are withdrawn
from Cuba. The fact that appropria-
tions by congress are being made eco
nomically, in spite of strong temptation
to extravaganza, adds to the cheerful
ness of this national fiscal prospect.

~ HE PROPOSITION OF par
tial strike, limited to three
II of the six working days of
week, as embodied in the
programme of the Shamokn conven-
1on in case satisfactory concessions
shall not be received from the oper-
ators, is, we believe, new feature in
labor campaigns. We do not recall
parallel
Not long ago complaint was common
among the mine workers because trade
conditions allowed many of them only
half time or less. AT a period when
trade conditions render full time posi-
bic and when their earnings are larger
than in many years it sounds strange
TO hear the proposition of half-time
offered in behalf of the mine workers.
We can hardly think that this repre-
sents the best judgment of the more
thoughtful and conservative miners. 1t
looks more like a forced compromise
between radicals wishing an i'm
mediate and full-hedged strike. and
conservatives not in favor of a strike
at all.
The saving part of the Shamokin pro-
gramme is in the opportunity allowed
for further negotiations. If the theory
of some Of the nne-unon officials is
correct that the financial interests in
control of the operation of the anthra-
cite industry do not want a strike at
this time, because of the i'll effects one
would have upon the financial situa-
tion, this opportunity provides an ave-
nue. to peace. We could better Judge
the chances Of peace il we knew exact
ly what concessions on the part of the
operators would suffice to insure it.
That the mine workers expect the oper-
manded of them is hardly to be believ-
ed; undoubtedly there is a fleXibility in
the situation which will appear when
active negotiations are resumed 1t
may not be made known to the public
at once, but it will filter through in
course of time.
For this reason, we consider that the
chances of IA strike are fewer than the
chances of another prosperous year in
our mines, benefittng not only the
miner, his family and the labor that is
contingent upon his prosperity but
likewise making all forms of local busi-
ness more active.

OF our presidents have been, and are likely
TO be, he is subjected by the very cmnence

private citizen is lablc--eNpenses for which the
state makes no provision and from which there

very time when his availability as public ser.
want is presumably greatest; when he deserves
to be regarded as one Of the nations most valu-
able assets. he is cast aside like the peel of an
orange. virtually disqualified for all subordinate
positions.
We do not doubt that there is truth
in Mr.. Bigelow's further argument that
the prospect of honorable usefulness in
body like the United States senate,
without the political uncertainties and
risks which surround elected members,
would go far to strengthen the official
conduct of Il weak president and i'm
prove that of all presidents, since hui
man nature is much the same in high
place as in low. II would, as Mr.. Bige-
low remarks, furnish the president the
strongest inducement possible for Civ
ing the people an acceptable admins
tration, if for no other purpose than to
strengthen his influence in the more
enduring position toward which he
would be gravitating." The change is
one not likely to come, but one which
most thinking people will agree is
highly desirable.

Il. ~ done with our eX-presidents
revived recently by the New
York Tribune, which favors an amend
ment to the constitution making them
senator's for life, has elicted am in
structive letter from that veteran diplo-
matist and publicist, John Bigelow.
Mr. Blgelow favors the Tribune's idea
and goes further. He would allow
to these life senator's u salary not less
than half their pay as presidents, This
would not prove much of a tax upon
the public purse, for there is living to-
day only one X-president--Mr Ceve-
land--and the average number for the
1O5 years since Washington has been
less than three For the sum of, say
$4,000 yearly Mr.. Bigelow writes, "the
senate and the nation might have
proiited by the counsel, experience and
example of Washington for more than
two years longer, of John Adams for
more than a quarter of century, of
Jefferson for more than seventeen
years, of Madison for more than nine
teen years, of John Quincy Adams for
more than eighteen years, of Andrew
Jackson for more than eight years, of
Martin Van Buren for more than twen-
ty-one years, of General Grant for at

WAYsIDE NOTES.

Apropos OF the fact that Scranton is to have a
base ball team this season, good many people
wonder why a good many otller people take SO
much interest in the national game. There are
good reasons. In the first place, there is in hui
man nature an instructive love for SPORT and,
secondly, base bail, as played today by trst-cass
clubs, requires the very highest physical training
and athletic skill--qualites which are always at.
tractiNc. Not only this, but it calls for mental
qualities OF mean order, notably good judg.
ment GOODNESS al critical moments, and the tacul-
ty o deciding instantly what play must be made
in given situation. Technical and athletic skill
is required i'll every feature Of the game. Another
fascinating thing about the game is its nncer-
tainty. When ball is pitched the result may
be strike.out, long fly, skilfully judged by an
outtclder, a marvellous pickup by one oi the ill.,
field, a iuggle which just allows the batter to
slide 10 first, or clean hir, out OF the reach OF
everybody. And, supposng the hit comes i'll the

tonic stirs the blood and takes ones thoughts
from business or other troubles. But do not
