IN AMPLE SURPLUS.

The fiscal year Of the government
closes with the present month and the
treasury statement for the eleven
months of the year shows that there
will be a surplus OF about $44,OOO,OO0.
In view of the large expenditures au-
thorized by the last congress this is a
very satisfactory exhibit. There are
some things provided for by legisla-
ton. however, which would more than
wipe out the surplus, the payments to

the treaty should be ratified by Colon
bia, amounting to $5OOOO,O0O. 1t does
not appear probable, however, that this

ALL OVER but THE SHOUTING.
Nomination of President Roosevelt
Next Year Practically settled.
Now York TribuI

New York Tribune.
The action of the Pennsylvania repub-
ican state convention and the result OF the
controversy in Ohio in the withdrawal OF
all objections by Senator Hanna to the en-
dorsement of President Roosevelt are ac-
cepted all over the country as insuring the
absolute certainty OF the presidents nomi-
nation next year. barring unforeseen ana
improbable accidents.
Not only is there no competitor making
an active contest for the prize, which is the
legitimate object OF Mr.. Roosevelts ambi-
ton and the natural tribute to be expected
from the people II they are satisfied with
the discharge of the duties forced upon
him by the tragic death of President Nc
Kinley, but there is no apparent chance for
competitor II he did care to test his
popularity against the presidents. Sixteen
states have already in their state conven-
tions declared for his nomination, or will
certainty do so soon, and they will have
496 votes in the next national convention,
or more than enough to nominate. Among
them are the most powerful four states in
the union-New York. Pennsylvania, Hi
nois, and now Ohio. Massachusetts. Iowa.
Kansas, Connecticut. Washington and sew
eral southern states are in the same com
pany. Thus Mr. Roosevelt has all the sup
port he absolutely needs, and IT comes from
every section of the land. north, south,
east and west, manufacturing states and
agricultural states.
In addition to these, IT is easy to count
dozen states more In which there is no
human probability of an opposition dele
gate. The question may then be considered
settled. The prospects are that the nomi-
nation will be unanimous. The political
prophets had best turn to the democracy
as field for speculation. There is chance
enough there, and all the guessing will do
no harm-and no good.

RURAL DELIVERY AND POLITICS.


Mr.. Bristow. fourth assistant postmas-
ter general, is not favorable to the
rural free delivery system, his view
being that the government is building
up a great political machine that will
in time come pretty near running con-
gress and he therefore thinks its fur
ther development should be stopped.
AS quoted by the Washington CORE
spondent of the Brooklyn Eagle, Mr..
Bristow is of the opinion that If the
system is developed at the present ratio
there will be in each congressional dis
trict from 300 to 500 rural carriers, who
are bound to organize as the carriers
in all the large cities have already done
When this is accomplished they will be
in position to dictate to congress and
will certainly demand larger and larger
pay for their services, Furnishing con
gressmen who refuse to support the de
mand by defeating them at the polls
Another thing Mr. Bristow fears is thai
the enlargement of the service will
cause bitter feeling between the agri
cultural classes and the workmen resid
ing in the agricultural centers.
We do not think there is any substan
tial ground for the apprehension of the
fourth assistant postmaster general, but
at any rate there is no doubt that the
rural free delivery system is perma
nently established and that its further
development will not be stopped. L
has been conclusively demonstrated tha
this service is on the whole of very
great benefit TO the rural communities
and it is the judgment of those mos
familiar with the service that 1t will II
time be self-sustaining. The idea tina
in this system the government is build
ing up a political machine that in tim,
will come pretty near running congress
seems to, US TO be entirely visionary
There will be no backward step. It cal

BRITAIN WEARY OF FREE TRADE

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Mr.. Chamber
lain has supplied the issue which the lib
erals have been vainly seeking to unite
upon. The question is whether the liberals
can find leader as daring and able ds
the ex-liberal who now confronts them at
the head Of their old conservative foes.
Philadelphia Press: For England to aban-
don free trade. as II will, II this conserva-
tive policy wins is a stupendous economic
event. To propose to unite third of the
worlds population and a larger share of
the worlds trade in a great system of
reciprocal and protective tariffs is one of
those great master strokes which. II British
electors approve, would revolutionize the
trade conditions Of the world.
Indianap polls Sentinel: The position taken
by Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain and Mr.. Bal
four In favor OF tariff system OF colonial
preference" while a departure from the
former policy of Great Britain, is not ex-
actly an abandonment of the free trade
idea. Its purpose is to promote free trade
between Great Britain and its colonies
while excluding other countries. In one
sense this is the system of the United
States, which has absolute free trade be-
tween several states and territories but we
have departed from our own system by
making special tariffs for Porto Rico, Ha-
wall and the Philippines
Chicago Post: OF all the puerile and silly
comments on the Chamberlain proposal to
revive the infamous corn laws and starve
the masses for the benefit of few land
lords and decaylng Industries the silliest
is that which represents II as a tribute to
the United States and ''vindlcation" OF
our" protective policy. II hardly needs
saying that intelligent protectionists are
not guilty of any such childish twaddle. II
is well known that stanch American pro-
tectionists have fully recognized the eco
nomic imposslbility Of a protective system
under the material, climatic industrial and
commercial conditions prevailing in the
United Kingdom.
washington Star: British trade is Ian
gushing. British skill is a little discour-
aged. Competition is getting as hot as a
July noon. Germany and the United States
are rivals whom Great Britain can no
longer ignore. and must be met with poll
cies that will work. Here then is a situa-
tion which should develop to the full what
ever Of capacity for affairs there may be in
Mr.. Chamberlain. There is a chance for
the yardstick and the pint measure The
shopkeeper, we may assume, is no longer
at sea. At any rate, he has come forward
with his recommendations, and not only his
countrymen but his countrys rivals for
business would do well to give their care
| ful consideration. He wants to advance
the interests of his own people which is a
worthy ambition, and 1t only remains to be
seen whether his policies will be adopted
and, II so, how they will answer They will
not fail of attention in the United States

HOW SHE GOT READY,

Baltimore American.
She dressed up to go out with him,
Twas on the topmost floor;
Before the mirror she had posed
A weary hour or more.
At last she started down the stairs.
And he was glad, but then,
She tarried on the second floor
To see herself again.
Before another u,Irror there
She turned and turned and turned.
And took her time and primped as though
She only was concerned.
She patted bows and touched up tucks
And felt her fluffy hair,
And rearranged her new nat" hat
With undiminished care.
And then she gathered UP her skirts
And fixed them in her hand,
Coquettishly looked back once more
Into the mirror and
Went down another flight of stairs
To the reception room,
Where he was huddled, like a chunk
OF rainbow colored gloom.
He smiled. as any husband should,
But managed not to speak,
And II was well: for he was sure
He'd waited there a week.
He rose TO go. but she advanced
Upon the large pier glass
And back and forth In front OF IL
Began to pass and pass.
She started with her hat, and hair
And gradually worked down,
Inspecting things until she reached
The bottom OF her gown,
She caught her skirts again and looked
To see how she'd appear,
And, evidently satisfied
She said, I'm ready, dear"
He heaved sigh Out made IT soft,
And headed for the street
But hearing not the footfans
of her Louis XIV feet,
He turned-he staggered and then fell
Against the nearest wall
She was gazing in the mirror
In the hatrack in the hall!

THE PREsIoENrs FRANkNEss.

President Roosevelt has frankly made
known to his party that lie desires the
nomination for the presidency next
year. There are some disposed to
question the dignity and propriety of
this. Referring to it the Springfield
Republican remarks: 80 intense n
longing so openly revealed cannot be
considered a characteristic of the strong
est natures. The strongest men are
more reticent concerning their personal
desires for honors, more content to dis
charge the duties in hand with con-
scientious fidelity and let the work
actually done make its own appeal for
popular applause and for the support
of the leaders of the party. In this
respect. it can hardly be said that Mr..
Roosevelt has risen to the highest
standard of the public mann
Frankness and candor are dlstin-
gushing qualities of the presidents
character. They have marked his
course throughout his public career. He
! believes in letting the people know
where he stands in every respect. In
| letting his party know that he desires
the nomination he has simply given u
commendable characteristic and we are
unable to see that 1t offends in any
! sense against dignity or propriety. Mr..
Roosevelt believes and deservedly so
that he has a claim to the nomination;
that having discharged the duties of the
presidency with conscientious fidelity he
has a right to seek at the hands of his
party the endorsement which a nomina-
| ton will give and he goes about it
! openly and unreservedly. 1t seems to
us that every fairminded American
must admire this straightforward
course. must commend rather than criti-
else the president for making no con-
cealment of the perfectly justifable de-
| sire to succeed himself.
| AS to the Republicans criticism that
the presidents exhibition of a wish to
succeed himself cannot be considered a
characteristic of the strongest natures"
an examination of our history will show
that some men of very, strong nature
have shown an intense longing for the
presidency and very earnestly sought
to attain that great honor Such men,
for example, as Webster and Clay and
Douglass aspired to the presidency and
| did not hesitate to let the fact be
known, while Jackson and others
sought second term. Abraham Lin
coin let it be known that he desired a
denomination and planned in every
legitimate way to secure it. II Mr..
Roosevelt has been somewhat more
frank and straightforward than his
predecessors generally in the presidency
in asking the endorsement of his party,
1t is in our judgment entirely creditable
to him and certainly cannot reasonably
be regarded as undignified or improper
Nor will 1t be so regarded by those
people who have faith in the integrity
the courage and the high sense of duty
of President Roosevelt His nomination
Is already assured and we do not be-
lieve that his having frankly expressed
desire for it will have any effect un.

LABoR's RESTLESS STATE.
Costly Quarrels and Confusion Gener-

Indianapolis News.
We recently published an extract from
the speech of Clarence Darrow, who was
the attorney for the miners in the great
strike. 1t has made a wide impression in
the press. 1t ought to be needed equally
ny the forces of labor. In Philadelphia
the conditions revealed by a discussion of
Mr.. Darrow's utterance show the great
need OF a speedy betterment. for they are
at present In some places nearer anarchy
than anything else-or, as the Philadel-
phia North American puts IT: 1T is all
chaos and empty strife a mere welter Of
industrial anarchy" 1t goes on to say
that in many controversies which have
tied up building enterprises OF vast pro-
portions In Philadelphia, It is virtually
impossible for an impartial investigator to
discover the real merits Of the case:
THE quarrel are not between capital
and labor, no principles governing the
creation and distribution OF labor are at
stake, or even mentioned. Labor is pos
sessed by the demon OF aimless organiza-
tion and selfish jealousy. and is running
In the last three years in Philadelphia
unions in the building trades have grown
numerically to enormous proportions, but
instead OF bettering conditions and ad-
justing the relations of employer and EN-
ploye on a basis Of reciprocal benefits,
they have striven for power, wrangled
over questions OF authority and control,
promoted reasonless strife and paralzed
progress. Building operations involving
enormous outlay are suspended not over
questions OF wages, but in many cases
because wrangling unions refuse 10 recog-
nize one another. The North American
says that situations have arisen some
thing like these:
The carpenters refuse to work with the
plasterers, the masons with the carpen-
ters, or the hodcarriers with anybody,
and half a dozen men digging a pipe
trench may stop all work on a million
dollar building contract because the
plumbers belong to a rival combination OF
unions"
