dollars; that OF France, with 80 million
people, is 695 million dollars; that of Ger
many, with 5S million people 553 million
dollars; while in practically every coun-
try aside from China and India, with
their enormous population. the per capita
of the government expenditures is great
er than in the United States
Even in the case of Russia, with its
population of al million people, the per
capita of government expenditure is
about the same as that of the United
States. While il is true that larger pro-
portion of public expenditures is borne
by state and local governments in the
United States than in many of the more
centralized governments of Europe, these
figures of the relative expenditures of the
various governments arc at least inter
esting at the present time.
The table puts the population of the
United States at S0,3720 900. the government
expenditure in 1903 at $6+0, ,3232, 600 and the
per capita expenditure at $7.07. The per
capita government expenditure of Canada
is given at $3.50; the German Empire,
s.. As; Italy sl0.97: ia-Hungary, $14.27;
Belgium, $40; France, sl7.S4 the United
Kingdom, S21. 80, and Australia, $3.50.
Russa's annual expenditure is put. for
the latest available year, at 81, ,1l6. .095 900,
as against s6i4 ,Ss3. 900 in the United States;
but the fact that Russia population is
given al i4l million brings the per capita
to about the figure shown by the United
States
The table of the Bureau of Statistics
presenting these figures of population and
government expenditures includes all
countries for which data on this subject
can be had, and its aggregates show for
the countries in question a total popula-
ton of 1.50S,0J0oS ard government ex-
penditures amounting to 1890, $50 600, with
government revenues amounting to 81
9o1. $4,000. The table in question also
shows in the case of each country the ex-
cess of revenue or expenditure in the
latest available year. and in this particu-
lar the United States also presents a
satisfactory showing. the excess of reve-
nues over expenditures being greater than
than of any other country. while in many
countries the expenditures exceed the rev.
enues. For the latest available year the
United States SHOWS an excess of reve-
nues over expenditures amounting TO 30
million dollars while France shows an
excess of revenues amounting 10 only
s26tJ0 Germany, an excess of expendi-
lures over revenues amounting to 81 mil

Eye witnesses of the descent said that
the airship came down gradually and
touched the ground gently. allowing the
men in the car to step out. Nothing was
injured either in the car or about the
great gas bag. DR.. Greth stated that
what happened could not be set right

NEW SOCIALIST WEEKLY.
Would Make the Greed Less Ideal and
More Practical.

Berlin, May 2-Eduard Bernstein, a
member of the reichstag, begins the pub
lication today of a new Socialist weekly
entitled Das Neue Montangblatt. wherein
he advocates the revision of the Socialist
creed so that it will be less idealistic and
more a program of practical reform.
Herr Bernstein prefaces his editorial col
umn with the following questions:
1T is known to the German govern
ment that torpedo boats and destroyers
for the Russian government are being
built at one of the largest German ship
yards. Is it known to the government
that in order to disguise this breach of
neutrality the several parts of the ves-
sells are exported as half-finished manu-
features and put together in Libau Rus
sia? Is it known finally that the building
of these war vessels is so urgent that
work proceeds from a. m. to 8 p. m.?'
