AS TO The SURPLUS.

The immense and increasing treasury
surplus is worrying the Republican party
very seriously.
Two methods of dealing with 1t are now
before congress. One of these was intro
duced by Mr.. Sulzer, Democrat, of New
York, and the other by Mr.. Pugsley, of
the same state, who is a member of the
committee on banking and currency
OF course the party in power will not
let any Democrat have the credit of solv-
ing the problem. They may take his idea,
but they will give It a new label II they
consider it preferable to any original Re-
publican bill. The Sulzer resolution directs
the secretary of the treasury to deposit
all the surplus i'm national banks having
not less than 100000 capital and surplus
Of not less than the same amount. 1t pro-
vides that the government shall receive
2 per cent interest on these deposits. No
deposit of bonds is required to secure
them, but the governments deposits will
constitute a first lien on the assets of the
bank. The amount deposited by the gov
eminent in any bank shall not exceed the
combined capital and surplus of the bank.
This plan would concentrate the surplus
in the larger cities and is therefore Sc
verely criticized.
The Pugsley bill is framed so as to re-
move this objection. Instead of requiring
the secretary of the treasury to deposit
all the surplus in national banks, it au-
thorizes him to deposit. at his discretion,
all of il in excess of so. 900 600. This bill
allows the secretary to make deposits in
national banks whose capital uoes not ex-
coed 100000 The secretary may fix the
rate Of interest az any sum not less than
per cent.
Matters are getting to a pass which
makes some action concerning the surplus
urgently necessary.
During the fiscal year ended June 30.
1901, the governments receipts exceeded
it's expenditures by $40. 113, 1852. For the first
six months OF the current fiscal year the
receipts exceeded expenditures by more

A RIGHTEOUS CAUSE.

The postmaster general has forbidden
postal employees TO go TO Washington to
urge the passage Of any proposed legisla-
ton in their behalf, or even to give the
reasons why they consider II proper.
This order applies to railway mail clerks
as we'll as to other postal employees, and is
being faithfully obeyed by all of them.
But these faithful and efficient public
servants have friends who are being
heard in their behalf. and their cause is
sure Of being fairly presented to the law
making and executive authorities Of the
government. A bill to do justice to the
railway postal clerks is pending, with
good chances Of passage. 1t will supple
ment the scant recognition of their de-
serts which congress gave two years ago
by reaching the classes in the railway
postal service. to which the bill passed
then did not extend.
The postal clerks of all classes ask and
are entitled to better consideration than
they now receive from the government.
Though they cannot speak for themselves,
they have advocates who will present
their case well and will persist in con-
teding for their rights. Congress moved in
the right direction on this matter two
years ago. but did not go far enough.
The members. Of congress who have TAX
en- up the righteous cause of the postal
clerks are backed by business men In all
lines and in all parts OF the country, and
before the end OF the present session we
shall probably see congress come nearer
to the measure OF their duty to these
hard-worked and insufficiently paid gov
eminent employees.
We are glad TO know that they have
firm and active friends in the Georgia del
egation upon whom they can rely. and
that the outside influences that are work.
ing for them are increasing steadily. The
Journal has long been the advocate Of
more liberal policy toward the postal
clerks. and was never more interested in
their cause than IL is now.

WOMEN IN IDAHO.

Opinions as TO the advisability of wom-
ans suffrage differ very widely but there
can be no dispute over the proposition
that it is advancing. because it is gaining
IN the general confidence of the country.
Idaho Is one OF the states which has given
the full Suffrage 10 women and presents
an interesting study of the practical re-
suits Of. that policy.
A writer who has observed how II has
worked I'm Idaho. says in a recent article;
None OF the horrible things predicted
by the opponents of equal suffrage have
happened out our way. 1t has not trans
formed the women into bowling dema-
gogues, nor broken up families, nor caused
them TO neglect their homes"
Men OF VIGOROUSLY bad character and
vicious measures Of legislation have been
defeated in several states solely by reason
Of the fact that the women of such states
had the ballot.
The usefulness Of women who have the
right to take part in the direction and con-
troll Of public educational interets has been
demonstrated conspicuously in many COM
munities. Mrs. French, state superinten-
dent Of education I'm Idaho. has become
famous throughout the United States as a
most eficient officer. Shells now serving
her second term and It is said that there
Is not a man in the state who could de-
feat her for the office.
Under her administration there has been
a remarkable Improvement in the public
schools OF Idaho. Her success has led to
the election of a large number of women
as county school commissioners and in al
most every instance they have proved
more efficient than the men whom they
succeeded.
In many states which have not granted
the general right of suffrage to women
they are permitted to vote on matters re-
Iating 70 education and their influence
has been notably beneficial to this great
Interest.
In Atlanta we have a visiting and sd-
visory school board of women whose re-
ports and recommendations are received
with great respect by the regular board,
composed entirely of men, and by the gen.
eral public.
Women are exerting an influence upon
public AFFAIRS I'm this country far beyond
that which they welded some years ago.
II is an influence that is growing and it
is destined to become much larger and
more benehcent.

GAME GALVESTON.

Those Who predicted that the terrific
flood which laid Galveston waste and de-
stroyed the lives of thousands of her
people and many millions of dollars worth
of her property would be the permanent
ruin of the city did not know what they
were talking about. Galveston is rising
from her desolation fairer than she ever
was before and is facing the future with
a confidence that is well founded.
Ample precautions are being provided
against a recurrence of the disaster the
city recently suffered The people of Cal
weston act on the theory that heaven
helps those who help themselves and have
voted to issue bonds to the amount of
of $1,5G0.OO0 for the construction of sea
walls. The city's credit is fine in spite of
it's tremendous losses. The proposed bonds
could be sold readily in outside markets
at low rate of interest, but they will be
taken mainly at home. 1t is estimated
that at least $1,OO0,OOO of them will be pur-
chased by citizens of Galveston, hundreds
of whom have already expressed their
readiness to lend their city money at /
per cent.
We say hurrah for Galveston!l Such
pluck and devotion as her people are dis
playing cannot be conquered. They will
make their beautiful city larger, richer
and more powerful than it ever was be-
fore and will win tor themselves the I'M
stinted admiration of the world

BETTER HOTEL FIRE PROTECTION

The frequent recurrence of fatal hotel
fires in this country would seem to de-
mand the enactment Of more stringent
laws for the protection of life in hotels
or the better enforcement of those laws
which we already havea -f
It seems strange that in a hotel such as
the Park Avenue, where hundreds of peo-
pie are housed nightly, there were abso-
lutely no provisions made by the manage
ment for fighting fire for the safety of
guests in case a confiagration occurred.
How badly this compares with the ex-
treme precautions required by law and
rigidly enforced, on board steamships or
other vessels carrying human freight. Not
only must they provide life preservers to
the number of their passenger capacity,
together with life RATS and boats, con-
stantly provisioned in anticipation of ac-
cident, but the same extreme measures
are adopted as a protection against fire
or other disasters.
But how is it with the average Ameri-
can hotel, where many more lives are at
stake nightly than in any of these vessels?
A few fire escapes here and there. and
that is about ALL Even these are so con-
structed as to offer little better than
merely another form of death.
In some states. it is true, the law re-
quires various other forms of protection,
but little or no systematic effort is made
to enforce these laws. There is. of course,
an occasional spasm of diligence on the
part of the authorities whenever one of
these holoeausts occur, but within a few
weeks all concerned lapse again into the
same feeling of carelessness and security.
Too much stress cannot be laid on the
Importance of better fire protection in our
hotels. but It seems that nothing will ever
force a proper regard for the safety of
public life in this quarter until criminal
responsibility is attached to those in
volved.

OUR GROWTH IN A CENTURY.

The government is doing a great edu-
cational service by compiling and distrib-
uting among the people information OF
every character that relates to the devel-
opment OF the United States.
The treasury bureau Of statistics has re-
Gently issued an abstract which gives a
most interesting and impressive account
Of the growth of the country from 1900 to
1900.
The plain statistics set forth in this pub
LEGATION read more like romance than the
records OF actual events.
The United States, exclusive of Alaska
and Hawaii. have grown from S27 ,S44
square miles I'm 1900 TO 3,O25.6O0 square
miles in 1900. The poulation has increased
from 5.SOS. 4s3 in 1900 to 1858, 724 in 1900.
Virginia, which ranked first in pOpula-
ton in 1850. was 18th in 1900. Pennsylva-
mia was second in 1900 and still holds that
place. New York. which has been first for
many years, was third In 1900.

portions until the civil war. In 1865 it

reached its highest point $7S.25 head,
but by 1901 1t had been reduced to $13.45 per
capita, a proof of the marvellous produc-
tive capacity of the country. In 1866 there
was an interest charge of $4.2s per capita
and this had been reduced to SS cents by
1901. The lowest rate of interest paid by
the government in 1865 was per cent and
of the 4 per cents there were then but
$9OOOO.OOO against s245, 100000 in s per cent
bonds, 81, 213, 600 at 6 per cent and $751;
100000 at 7.3 per cent; while in 1901 prac-
tically one-half Of the outstanding debt
stood at per cent, and even those bonds
were selling at a premium in the markets.
The figures for the savings banks are
very significant as showing the increase
I'm the Accommodations of the people. In
1870 the deposits in savings were 81, 1SS, SIC,
and the number of depositors S,6S5; in
1901 the amount of deposits was s., 449. 547,-
$50, and the number of depositors 6.107, 0S9;
the average sum due each depositor in
1870 was S1Sl.S6, in 1901 it was $401.10.
The growth of the country's trade has
been phenomenal. In 1900 the imports were
$50 10000 and the exports s71,OOO,OOO, i'm
ports exceeding exports by $4,000 900, or
nearly 30 per cent; in 1901 imports were
SS23, 10000 and exports S1,4S7. 200, OOO the
excess of exports being 1864. 10000, or 80
per cent greater than the imports. Imports
IN 1901 were nine times as great as in
800, and exports were q times as great as
in 1900.
No other nation ever made such adj
vances in a century as ours accomplished
between 1900 and 1900.
