The Humbert Affair.

France is now IN her element. with
scandal brewing which. according to the
threats of some of those involved, will
shake the ministry and involve host Of
prominent personages. The sensational re-
ports which have followed upon the arrest
OF the Humbert family in Madrid promise
case rivaling the Panama troubles and
even the northumberland reyfus affair
This Humbert case would have been proba-
bly, no more in any other country than a
mere case Of swindlng on a large scale by
a group OF clever people. But they do such
things differently II not better, in France
For some reason. the precise statement of

France manages TO work herself periodical
ly into ferment affecting the very founda-
tons of the state over affairs which would
seem to be solvable by the ordinary court
processes.
These Humberts several years ago blazed
forth upon the social and financial world
OF France as the beneficiaries of the death
of an American multi-mllionaire The
story ran that Madame Humbert had been
left a legacy Of 100000. The report of her
good fortune was spread with the skill
which has been brought to its highest point
in France and on the strength Of 1t a credit
was established which enabled the Hum

supposedly representing vast amounts of
American cash were deposited as collateral
for the loans. These were not examined

The Christmas Eve Street Crowds.

Major Sylvester's order to the police to
keep the streets free from rowdyism and to
protect the interests of the merchants
should produce good results. It Is not de-
sirable that court cases result from the ex-
uberance Of the people at Christmastide, or
that the young folks be unduly harried by
the police as they promenade tonight. But
1t Is possible for the streets to be we'll
filled and still remain orderly. There being
absolutely no occasion for a carnival or
charivari on the night before the anniver-
sary of the Saviors birth. the mere COM
mand of the authorities that the ordinary
laws be respected should suffice to prevent
hoodlumism. If a week from tonight the
young people of Washington feel inclined to
work off their excess of spirits and to make
merry on the streets, singing and blowing
horns and harmlessly larking, there will be
few to object. 1t Is wholesome at times for
the people to touch elbows and to mingle
In good-natured parades as long as the
proprieties are observed. Washington Is
perhaps inclined to be rather staid and I'M
emotional and an annual outlet for innocent
animal spirits would not be amiss Assur-
edly, however, New Year eve Is the time
for such a spectacle and not tonight 1t is
well that the police orders have been issued
In time to be understood by those who read
this evenings paper SO that there need be
no unpleasant happenings to mar the
Christmas happiness.

priations on June 30 is merely statutory
custom. which can be changed at the viii
Of Congress- There Is nothing to prevent
the present Congress, indeed, from appro-
priating for the expenses Of the government
for six months and then for the next Con-
gress to pass additional budgets at its first
session. There is. furthermore. It Is believed
by some observers, nothing In the constitu-
tional limitations on congressional power
to prevent the passing Of appropriations for
more than a single year.. The principle
that one Congress should not bind sue
cessor does not prohibit this extension Of
the appropriation period. At present the
second session Of Congress appropriates
for the year covered by the first session Of
its successor.
The change from July to a January rs
cal year would involve, Of course, break
in the financial statements and for period
compel special explanations Of official re-
ports and statistics. But that Is not q
prohibitive difficulty, far less embarrassing,
indeed. Is 1t than would be the curtailment
or the extension Of one Congress by year.

ence between the calendar and the fiscal
years is confusing to the people. Were the
two coincidental this confusion would cease.
The change would be in the interest Of SIM
plicity rather than Of complication.
