RUssIA'S BUDGET.
An Exact Balance struck For the
Coming Year.

Coming Year.
st. Petersburg. Jan 15.-The Russian
budget for 1902 balances, the revenue
and expenditure totaling 1,946,571,976
rubles. The navy absOrbs 9S9.31S.984
rubles, the army 322. 63S,33 rubles and
ways and communications 43l,547 1913
rubles.
The report of the finance minister,
NJ. de White. which accompanied the
budget. says the equilibrium of the
latter leads to the conclusion that the
empires finances are in perfectly
satisfactory condition.
Our monetary SYSTEM" says the
minister, "leaves nothing to be desired,
ana our railroads continue to develop
under good conditions. Notwithstand-
ing the vexations and complications Of
recent years owing to bad harvests,
the scarcity of capital and the embar-
easements of certain branches of our
industry the general prosperity of our
country shows no sign of decline.

met IN convention Ill oditiIiIore HSl
autumn. Mr.. George Il. BartOl of Phil
adtlphia. who Is the permanent chair
man Of the congress. made the first
statement. lie said the congress had
represented all the business Interests
concerned about lower freight rates,
and it had contained representatives OF
twenty-five states. The congress. he
said had grown out of the fact that
no river and harb0r bill had beer, pass
ed by the last congress.
John w. Gambler Of Massachusetts,
chairman of the committee appointed
to present the resolution of the con
gress. said TINT never before had the
sentiment for the Improvement of the
rivers and harbOrs been so strong as il
is today. He said that siXty-live diff
ferent commercial organizations had
been represented in the Baltimore con-
ference and that they We're united in
the desire for adequate improvement
Of the country's waterways. The III
creasing Importance of the river traffic
was making constant demands for YES
sells Of deeper draft. and he called at
tention to the fact that the annual
business of the mississippi amounts to
19,OOO.OOO tons while o5.OOO.OlW annual
~ finds it's way through Sault Ste. Ma
rie canal.
William II. Lincoln president Of the
chamber of commerce of Boston. ex
pressed the opinion that no expenditure
of the money Of the people would
bring so large return as that upon the
rivers aud harbOrs. He based this
opinion upon the benefit to the export
trade. which trade was doing more
than anything else to bring prosperity
to the United States.
Philippine Government Bill.
Representative Cooper. chairman Of
the house committee on insllar affairs
and author of the bill establishing a
civil government in the Philippines.
during the day made Il statement re-
gardug his plan of self government
for the islands. He said:
ut has been suggested in opposition
to the provision in the house bill to
establish civil government in the
Philippines to begin on Jan. l. 1904.
that 1t is unwise to attempt to pass Il
law to take effect two years from now.
Put il is Il mistake to say that the eff
feet Of such a law would he postponed
for two years. On the contrary. 1t
would have an immediate effect upon
the minds of the Filipino people espe-
cially upon those of the educated and
intelligent. and. in the language of the
commission. would satisfy their desire
for definite knowledge Of the intention
of congress with respect to their cOun-
try"
Speaking of the difference between
the house bill and the senate bill. Mr..
Cooper said. "The chief difference be-
tween the two bills is in the provision
for the establishment of civil govern
ment. The senate bill simply contin
ues in power the existing government.
The bill which Introduced in the
house goes further than that and pro.
vitles not only for the present and tenn
pOrary 9 vernnent of the islands until
Jan I, 1904. but also carries a system
of government to go into effect on and
after that date in accordance with the
recommendation Of the Philippine
commission in its last report received
about three weeks ago

Pacific Cable Plans.

i ne senate committee on naval al
fairs gave Il hearing during the day
to representatives of the Pacific Com
mercinl Cable company. George G..
Ward of New York, vice president Of
Cook. general counsel. were present.
Mr. Hale. the chairman. explained the
efforts that previously had been made
to secure legislation authorizing the
construction of cable to the Hawai-
ian Islands. He also impressed upon
the committee the importance of early
action in the matter if anything was
hoped to he accomplished.
Speaking for his company. Mr.. Ward
said that for Il great many years Mr..
John w. Mackay has had IL great de-
sire to see II Paciiit cable laid because
Of his being identified largely with the
Pacific coast and then went over the
ground covered in the hearing before
the house committee.
In opposing the proposition that the
government lay the cable Mr.. Ward
asked if it were fair or just for the
government to lay ii cable in competi-
ton with private enterprise and was it
good business policy for the United
States to spend probably $4,000, 900
when it could get everything it desired
from private cable without the out
lay of a dollar.
Senator Perkins remarked that the
construction of this cable was mat
ter of national pride with Mr.. Mackay.
Mr.. Cook declared that his company
wanted no subsidy, no grant. All 1t
did ask was that congress pass no bill

No Free Silver Coinage Meant by
 Philippine Bill.

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune:
 In the Philippine bill reported to the Senate today there is d specific prOvi- sion for the coinage of a special Philip pine dollar to take the place of the Mexi- can dollar which Is now the retail codn of the islands. The provision adopted by the committee provides that any one may bring silver to the mint and have 1t coill' ed into these Philippine dollars.
 . This has led many people into the be- lief that the Senate has adopted free coinage of silver outright for the Philip pines. This Philippine dollar however, IS really nothing more nor less than SC much silver bullion minted by the unlteG States to determine it's fineness and weight. Beyond that the government oi the United States assumes no liability for it. It is made legal tender in the Phil' inpines but as & Philippine dollar only.
 The United States does not guarantee to redeem the coin in gold or greenbacks and the Philippine dollar will not ever be a legal tender at tis bullion Vaiue iH the United States It will not. therefore, n.y neonle to bring silver to the minths and have it coined into the Philippine dollars because they are worth practically m more SO coin ed than when in the form of bullion. 4.
 Mir Bryan's free coinuage idea was tc bring silver to the hints at Its bulnon value. and by the mere process Of coin'ne transmute it into legal tender value on fixed proportion to that of gold l..
 There is absolutely no IS to l ratio m connection with the Philippine dollars They will circulate for what they are worth. and are expected to drive out the Mexican dollar only because the latter are badly minted, frequently vary m wejeht and are not always above sus' picon as to the amount of alloy used.

CAN THEY ENFORCE THE LAwp

We very much fear that the dog tax law enacted by the Legislature of vir- sinia is going to bring on no end of trouble. Male dogs are to be taxed 50 cents each per annum and female dogs $i each. If the owner of the animal falls
 to pay the tax the dog is to be killed
 by the proper official. So far 1t is com
 further provides that the fund arising from this tax or license is to be used to reimburse those whose sheep have been killed by dogs, and right here. we ap- prehend, Is where tho trouble will come in. It is we'll known to railroad men that an animal killed by a train is almost invariably a valuable one, and we predict that when the fund is ready to be drawn on dead sheep will be valued much higher than living ones.. If one dead sheep is not shown to be of more value than two
 living ones we shall be mistaken.
 It is true, the law provides that no
 claimant is to receive moro than the as-
 sessed value of his sheep. and it may be
 that there will be way found to tell
 just how much a. sheep which had been
 killed by dogs was worth, but we doubt it. At least we doubt if it can be done
 so as to satisfy the owners of the animals
 which were killed. Why not let the dog
 tax go to the educational fund and make the owners of sheep-klling dogs pay all damages caused by such dogs? Would not that be more equitable and satisfac- tory?

aocrAL sTTALINa.

There is a kind of crime sometimes committed among the best people in largo cities which is politely called social thieving." For example, at a recent social entertainment given by Mrs. Roosevelt one of the ladies, when the company prepared to leave. found that her handsome and expensivee wrap had disappeared and In its place she found a very cheap and shabby article which she was ashamed to wear home. The thief. for that is exactly what she was, was not found out. If this were a solitary cass it would not be so notable, but it is not Commenting on the af- fair. The Chicago Tribune says:
 This habit of exchanging old or cheap wraps for expensive and new fashioned ones 10 not uncommon in Chicago. and one city usually is much like another in such things. Probably if the public were aware how often this kind of society theft occurs it would be greatly shocked The offenders are usually known, or al least strongly suspected. Sometimes they stand so high In society or are % well connected that nothing Is done about the matter. while in other cases 1t may not be possible to prove the theft absolutely though the circumstances are convtnc' ing.
 And The Tribune adds that "this kint of social thieving is one of those crimei which will proba ably always exist" wh, will they? Because those who ar' guilty of the crimes are members O prominent famiiies whose social stand ing and importance in the comrnunit, elsvates them above the recognized law and requirements of common honesty and preserves them from reaping the re ward of their criminality. crime fol | which a poor and fricndless man or wo man would be sent to prison is condoned overlooked and hushed up if the perpe trator is of high standing That is no

 Webster spoke, but seems to be moderr

The Indianapolis Sentinel declares that "the veterans will be rejoiced to know that H. Clay Evans has at last resigned the office of Pension Commissioner. We hope The Seminal is mistaken. We would dislike to have such a poor opinion of the real Union veterans as to know that they would rejoice at the retirement of an honest Commissioner. That the army of pension-grabbers and treasury Hooters who have found him hindrance to thsir designs are pleased to be rid of him goes without saying. Whether his successor will be the enemy or the tool of this class remains to be seen.

IT LOOKS HARD.

It does really seem to a disinterested and unprejudiced outsider. that there is something just little awry in the end. ing of the much contested Patrick case The valet. Jones. told so many lies that no one can be sure that he told the truth when he admitted the killing and described tho manner of it. claiming that in all he did he was acting for Patrick. who directed all the details while he Gones) actually committed the crime. If this last evidence of his is true-and 1t fiatly contradicts what he had previous ly sworn-but admitting that it is true. Patrick was not only an accessory, but the prime mover In the deed, and cer- tainly deserves punishment.
 But so far as appears from the testi- mony, as we remember 1t, Jones was not under coercion. He murdered Rice either voluntarily or for pay, and it looks hard that he should. by turning State s evidence. escape all punishment while his guilty partner is sentenced to death. Even if Jones's previous lying, for he told not less than four different stories. but even If his last story is strictly true it looks hard for the guilty planner to be convicted while the guilty performer goes free. It is not to be wondered at that Patrick says hard things of the law and the court which convicted him on such evidence. No doubt he would like to have try at Jones and try to get even with him. And in addition to what ws

In advocating good roads The Baltimore fact ought to be kept constantly in view. and that is "the permanency of the high< ways after they have once been well built" That is certainly a correct view to. take Of the question. It costs more to build a good road. of course. than it costs more to build bridge out of good oak timber than to build 1t of sap pine but the extra expense is only in the first cost. After that the good job pays large returns. both in durability and in the efficiency and satisfaction afforded by it. A first-class road is a profitable invest ment.

Thee Nashville News bucks because some of the newspapers of the country occasionally criticise Mir. Bryan, to which The Chattanooga Times very sensibly re- plies that Mir. Bryan invites these criti- cisms by his unceasing attacks on former Democratic leaders of the country. He is continually pitching into'' Cleveland. Hill, German and other Democrats and yet, says The Times, these assaults of MT. Bryan's on the most eminent Demo- crats of the country, are wholly gratui- tous. He is never assailed, never criti- cised by the men We have mentioned or by their associates. If the idolators of the perpetual candidate and would-be general Democratic dictator. are so anx- ious that he shall be tenderly treated they must teach him better manners. or fail of having their wish. in that regard, realized. He is distinctly to blame for all ahe jabs he has received. and he hasn't been hit single blow when he didnt t deserve it." If MT. Bryan thinks he can attack and abuse eminent Democrats without being called to account by their Friends he is badly mistaken.
