One of the very few positive recon-
mendations which the President made
in his message was that the duty on
anthracite coal be removed. This didn't
seem to most people very strenuous"
or ''impulsive," but "a Republican lead
err at Washington shows that it was.
resentatives should take the President
at his word and pass a bill removing
the duty on coal as fixed by the Ding
ley law the bill would go to the senate,
where it would be open to amendment
and limitless debate and the Democrats
would have the pleasure of inaugural
ing a general tariff discussion and
general tariff revision, if they saw fit,
using as basis the modest little bill
restoring all grades Of anthracite to the
free list. 1t is strange, says the Re
publican leader, that the President did
not think of this when he framed his
recommendation, or that he did not
happen to mention to some Of the wise
| heads that it was in his message, so
| that he might have been led to leave it
out. But I guess the house of repre-
sentatives wont pass any bill with re-
gard to the duty on COAL so we need
not worry yet"
The President made so little trouble
by his message that "a Republican
leader" ought not to scold him for his
recommendation about the duty on an
thracite coal. OF course it would have
been wiser" not to put this in the
message, but perhaps the tariff will es-
cape discussion in congress this winter.
1t will if "a Republican leader" can
have his way.

1t has been found in England, as it
has been and will be in this country,
that business is still business, and that
combination doesn't necessarily mean
profit. The Yorkshire Wool Combers'
Association, the English Sewing Cotton
Company, the Calico Printers Associa-
ton and the British Cotton and Wool
Dyers' Association have now all passed
dividends, and their stockholders are
anxious. No state of absolute bank
ruptcy exists in any case, but poor bus
mess may bring on such an evil, and
there is widespread apprehension lest
the grouping or trust system does not
smooth out the difficulties. The con-
Germs need money to make up for their
losses just as they needed advances at
first to put them on a businesslike foot
ing. For this they must go to the banks
and the English papers say that these
do. not view their approaches with
pleasure.
Although 1t now seems hard to believe
that hard times can come any more in
the United States. they will come, and
when they do some of the trust prob
lens may be solved. At least, some of
the trusts will be dissolved.

ENDIA'S PROSPERITY,

India is g. big country, and the big
and long famine hasn't impoverished
it. The budget for India, which was
recently presented to the House of
Commons by Lord George Hamilton,
shows that during the last three years
there was a surplus of income over ex-
penditures of s43,5OO,OOO. In that time
there were spent $100,0O0,000 on rail-
roads, $10,OO0,OOO on irrigation, and $780,
900, 600 on famine relief, while $19, 900 900
was laid aside from profits from the
mints to form a gold reserve. All the
sources of income, except opium,
showed steady improvement, and the
increase of revenue was particularly
noticeable in customs, which includes
the tax on drink and railroads, most
Of which are under government owner
ship. There are now 25,3C0 miles of
railroad open in India, with a capital
of 81, IT'S, 100000. The government is an
nually taking money from railroad
revenue to open new productive lines,
and by terminable annuities and a
sinking fund it will acquire all, except

one, of the old guaranteed lines. These
represent from $4OO,0O0,OOO to $5OO,OoO,-
O0O and will belong to the government
in fifty years. The black spot in the
country's progress is the increase in
the drink habit. 1t is stated that with
in the past few years the consumption
of liquors has increased 1876 per cent,
though the population has increased by
only II 1-2 per cent. An effort is to be
made in Parliament to allow local OPP
ton in India, the belief being that the
better class Mohanmedans and Hindus
will support any effort made to prevent
the spread of alcoholism. But the sale
of liquor in India is a government mo-
nopoly, and it is doubtful that the
powers that be in Parliament will per-
nit the passage Of any measure that
will diminish profits in that direction.

James z. Garner died at Saffordville,
Kansas, the other day. A few hours
before the end he sent for a friend and
said: Don't let them leave out any Of
my faults in my obituary"
Of course Mr., Gamers dying request
wasn't needed. The newspapers de-
scribed him as pretty good man, and
the preacher did not hesitate to hope
that he had gone to Heaven. His
faults were not made conspicuous, and
his virtues were perhaps given all the
prominence they merited. And why
not? Speaking well of the dead is a
good old custom, and much can be said
in defense of it. Many people deserve
much of what is said of them after
! they are dead, and some people do not
get the praise they deserve even then
Of course there are cases in which the
obituary writers and the preachers say
! things that are more kind than true
but as we are all poor critters it is not
well for any of us to be too critical
1t will be long before obituaries" and
funeral sermons are devoted to fault
finding with "the deceased" and it
ought to be long. Good should be
spoken and written of the dead, and of
the living too when it reasonably can

The Engineers Society of Western
New York is opposed to the bill provid-
ing for the adoption of the metric sys-
tenn of weights and measures now be-
fore congress, and which, if passed, will
become law January l. 1904. 1t is claim
ed that the cure would be worse than
the disease. The confusion and expense
resulting from the adoption of the new
system would be great certainly. Mil
lions Of maps and records would have
to be altered to conform to the new
