RICHER THAN MUD.

The United States is richer than mud. With an unexpectedly large surplus on hand. the customs receipts picking up steadily, more gold in the vaults than is possessed by any country on earth and a volume Of circulation greater than at any ether time in the history of the government, the United States treasury is fat. The calendar year closed with surplus of ss,OO0,0 900 in round numbers. Two months ago it was predicted that there would be deficit by December 50, owing to the fact that at that time the expenditures were running ahead of the income of the government, and a small shortage had already been mark ed up. The deficit increased steadily for week or more. and conditions then began to change. By some iudicious handling of accounts the treasury statement was made to take on more favorable appearance, and soon sur plus was apparent. Secretary Shaw predicts that there will be surplus of s14,OOG, 900 by the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1904. The surplus for the past fiscal year was sS0,OOO,oOO. The cause for the shrinkage in the estimated sur plus is found in the great falling off in the customs receipts. They have made a great hole in the treasury statement. The receipts from internal revenue and miscellaneous sources have held their end up in good shape, equailing last years record. The expenditures have been kept down to the level of 1902 also. Had the customs receipts been up to the standard the surplus would be SEA- 100000 as it was year ago, instead of only sS,OO0, eco.
 The customs receipts are beginning to grow in volume and will materially increase the surplus during the next thirty days This is due to the opera ton Of the Cuban treaty, which reduces
 the duty on imports of Cuban sugar,
 and which has stimulated importation.
 Great quantities of sugar have been
 held in bond. waiting the enactment of the treaty, so that the benefit of the re-
 duced tariff could be obtained While
 the rate is lowered. the quantity of i'm
 portations is more than enough to off,
 set this cut and add considerably more

AxorHnn JOPLIN INCIDENT.

Joplin, Missouri, has lately been get ting some of the prominence it deserves. The latest is the complaint of Joplin man about his bargain-hunting wife. The announcement of a sale, he gloom fly declares, is a personal challenge to her to 90 forth on shopping expedi- ton. He can tell the symptoms when ever the craze comes upon her. She Will stop skin1ming the paper and bury her head in the folds. Then follows a per iod of absolute silence while wrapped in the study os the bargains she pores eagerly over the sheet. At bedtime she winds the alarm clock and sets the alarm to go off at an early hour in the morning. He has to arise from his couch long before the dawn of day and they don't have much of breakfast as a general thing pancakes and
 breakfast food is the customary
 allowance. When he goes home at noon dinner is nearly always late, ana II q short order meal, too. Stacked up
 around the room are numerous pack
 ages of varied sizes and descriptions the trophies of the chase. During the past two months there have been sales of almost every article of household use, and if the Joplin mans wife has missed
 being on hand early at any one of them
 he doesn't know it. One day she be-
 came confused in her dates and went l to store only to find that the sale did Int come off until the same day the next
 week, and when he laughed about it she Icalled him a brute.
 There are several morals in this tale,
 but perhaps the most conspicuous one is
 that it pays to advertise.

JorIN yEw nAMrsHIrE.

New Hampshire is feeling good over the way her abandoned farms are be- ing absorbed by outsiders. The gover- nor himself has issued an address on this subject in which he says that by far the larger number of the purchasers of New Hampsmre's abandoned farms have been summer residents. vacation visitors, domiciled for from two to eight months of the year among the hills. \ canvass of such residents. now being made by the State Board of Agricul- ture, and not completed at the time of writing, has given thus far the names of 2,5OO owners of summer homes in the State, most of the said homes having been created from what were once abandoned farms. It is estimated that these 2,50O adopted sons of the State, by themselves, their families, their guests and their employees, add to the population of New Hampshire every summer at least twenty thousand peo- pie. Their holdings of real estate rep resent a permanent investment of S5,- 0O0,O0O and their annual expenditures for all purposes within the State are at least half as much.
 This is certainly an encouraging showing. Perhaps Connecticut could make as good a one.

PARTICULAR HAWAEI1Ns.

My, but they are particular in Ha-
 waii! It is solemnly and sadly related
 that when the session of the Hawaiian house of representatives opened one morning each member found on his desk handsome fountain pen. No ex- plantation was offered of the gift, and few of the members were curious
 enough to inquire as to the source of this unexpected generosity. These were told that the pens came from the sergeant-at-arms. who was grateful for being chosen to his high office. Not
 many days after the pens were pocket ed it was found that a second install rnent was needed; and before the ses- sion closed the Territory of Hawaii had paid for five dozen fountain pens 1 at rate of $2.50 and s each. House members also had a penchant for 1 pocket knives-pocket knives of the
 best make. Enough were purchased to
 give every one at least two, at a cost which varied from s1.25 to s2.5O. As
 the Territory had paid for the fountain
 pens and pocket knives, some scrupu-
 lous investigator took the trouble to i find out if they had been left in the members desks or in the committee rooms. He records the fact, with a certain satisfaction, that the desks, at least, were left in the House. Just how
 so many fountain pens could have been used Is to be made the subject of in- Iquiry by the Territorial grand jury. Critics of Hawaiian legislative methods declare that the House members never have occasion to use a pen except to sign payrolls; for the typewriting bills, iand the bills for clerk hire, for trans Ilators, for proof-readers, and interpret Iers are big enough to banish the thought Ithat Hawaiian legislator ever put pen to paper for any other purpose
 Good work. We don't believe that
 any better would be done in Connecti- icut under similar circumstances, if there could ever be similar circum- stances here.

rHE BUILDING OUTLOOK.
F. W. Dodge Company Finds Much
 That is Favorable.

F. W. Dodge Company Finds Much
 That is Favorable.
 The r. w. Dodge company of Boston. has compiled some interesting statistics upon the building situation in New England, and they show that during 1908 contracts were awarded for new buildings to the estimated aggregate value of $106, $50. 900, as against s1a4.sa4,- 900 for 1902 and $i2O, 2SS, GOO in 1901. The value of new buildings projected during 1908 was $37.02S. 900, as against SAG, ,S65.O 900 in 1902 and s73,664. 900 in 1901
 Concerning the building outlook for 1904 the Dodge company says:
 "Disregarding the exceptional months it is apparent that some of the work projected in the fall os 1902 must have been held back, since a comparatively small amount of building was started in the spring of 1908. This accounts for the exceptional amount of work. started in the summer season of 1908, which in cluded some of the buildings projected in the previous spring, and also some of those projected and held back in the fall and spring of 1902.
 Tt may reasonably be inferred that the contracts to be awarded in the com ing spring will embrace not only the construction projected in the fall of 1908. together with some projected but held back in the spring of 1902, but also a large amount of construction, which is still in the hands of promoters, and which has not yet even reached the architects offices.
 Some of the doubtful factors which have been holding this work back from the architects offices must prove favor able in the spring of 1904. The labor troubles cannot have any worse effect than during the past year; in fact, ing to the natural conservatism which pervades this section, the malignant form of labor troubles, of which chica- go, and more recently New York, have l been victims, can never be felt here. The price of building material is already becoming settled, and will probably start upward before the auaumn of 1904 The prospect is that loans on real estate can be more easily secured during the coming year. The doubt incident to the | presidential election is already being discounted, while a steady or rising 1 stock market, in establishing general confidence, will have @ wholesome effect on .he building trades.''

For some years past there has been proposal to link the Island of Ceylon to the mainland of India by railroad car ried across a coral reef and the Island of Rameswaram. The propect has now been brought within view of comple- tion by the report of a commission, which has just been issued in India. recommending the construction of a broadgauge line. Geological evidence shows that Ceylen was originally join ed to India by continuous isthmus. which, according to the temple records Rameswaram, was preached by great storm in 14S0.
