DEFICIT PlLING UP APACE.
Effect of Republican Financial Meth
DDS Should Set Patriotic Vo-
ters to Thinking.

The Boston Herald does not take a
very cheerful view of the governments
financial outlook. Republican manage
ment seems to have put the treasury in
a very bad way. The deficit continues to
roll up a balance on the wrong side OF
the ledger. August shows an excess OF
expenditures V e receipts amounting to
not far from 5 1900 900. This, taken in
connection with TIE deficit shown in
July. will make a total deficit of mors
than $25, 000, goo for the first two months
of the current fiscal year. The receipts
for August were lighter than those for
the same month of either of the two
preceding years. This decline, says the
Herald, has come very largely through
the falling off in the imports of dutiable
goods. while our imports of goods on the
free list have advanced. In more than
one instance the Dingley rates of duty
are practically prohibitive-that is, they
are so high that, instead of turning in
a very large amount of revenue, they
produce but a small amount Of income
for the treasury, Jwing to the lin
tied amount imported. While the
revenue last month fell far below the
level for the month Of August In either
1903 or 1902. the expenditures have ad-
vanced enormously. The gain over the
expenditures for August Of last year Is
IS per cent, an increase of almost one
fifth. and yet we suppose the republicans
will say that the population of the
try has increased. therefore the expendi-
lures must also increase; and a leading
republican organ like the New York
Tribune will welcome this as another
step toward the two billion mark in con-
gressional expenditures. Our country
Is at peace. there has been no material
change in the conditions, as far as the
country itself is concerned. from what
ruled in August of 1903 ard 1902. and
yet, as we have said. national eXperdi-
lures have advanced by almost one-ffth
in a single year. On any such ratio OF
progression as that our national ex-
penditures would double even their
present figures inside Of five years.
even with such a condition to be con-
sidered. the republican party and the
present administration have as yet
made no declaration in favor Of either
economy or retrenchment. Those words
evidently do not appear in their vocab-
ulary. They welcome extravaganza.

Weather and Crop Report.

The report of the Agricultural De-
partment on weather and crop con-
ditions, issued last week for the Mis-
sissippi section, says:
The mean temperature for the week
was about 6 degrees above normal.
Moderate to heavy showers fell over
the southern, the extreme eastern and
extreme northern counties, elsewhere
there was little or no rainfall.
Over the delta and nOrth-central
counties, where the rainfall was very
light, cotton opened rapidly and pick
ing made good progress, while in the
extreme eastern and northern counties
some delay resulted from heavy rains
and in Rankin. Scott, Newton and
Lauderdale counties excessive rains
and high winds did considerable dam
age to open cotton. The weather YVES
generally favorable for picking over
the southern portion Of the State
where bolls are opening very rapidly.
There Is more or less complaint of
premature opening and some scatter
ing complaints of shedding. Boil
worms are quite damaging in Adams
and Wilkinson counties. Labor is
scarce in many sections. On uplands
there will be little or no top crop
while on some lowlands plants con
tinue green and contain a fairly good
crop Of top bolls. A few correspond
ents report that cotton is yielding bet
ter than expected, but many state that
the crop is short.
Where rains have fallen minor
crops are doing we'll, but in some sec
tons fall crops are poor on account
of dry weather. Sweet potatoes are
generally a good crop. Sorghum is
being made up into molasses and peas
are being gathered. Pastures are dry
in many western counties and in some
localities stock water is scarce.

In FAVOR OF LA TOILETTE
The Wisconsin Supreme Court De-
cides That the La Toilette Re-
publican Ticket is Regular.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 5.-The supreme
court decided the LaFollette ticket reg
ular. Three judges, Marshal, Dodge
and Winslow, were for the LaFollette
faction, while Chief Justice Cassoday
dissented. The opinion will be fled
later by Justice Marshal.
At the Wisconsin state convention
held May IS last 1850 delegates were
given seats. Of these, 108 were con
tested. OF the uncontested delegates
SIS Is were for LaFallette. The state
central committee, being of LaFallette
sympathy, seated but AZ contested
"stalwart" delegates, giving LaFollette
a majority. The "~stalwarts" charged
u~nfairness, bolted, nominated a sepa-
rate ticket and went into the supreme
court to compel the secretary of state
70 put the "stalwart" ticket in the reg
ular republican column on the official
ballot.

Fixing the Tax Rate

The different boards of super.
visors of the State are now fixing the
tax rate for the coming year, and
within the next few weeks it is ex-
pected that all of the counties will
have reported to the auditor their
tax rate for the coming year. 1t is
not believed that there will be any
material increase in the tax levy this
year in the counties. In some OF
them, Of course, there will be
an increase, but in the great majority
the rate will remain the same. The
increase in the county rate can be
accounted for in most of the counties
on the ground that the supervisors
have adopted the contract system for
working the public roads, which
takes one mill more, this being the
limit allowed by law for working
the public roads by contract.

OUR ILL-pAID PROFESSORS
Criticism By an English Educator on
Our Teachers Emoluments.
Many Teaching the Higher Branches
Get Less Than They Could Earn
In Industrial Pursuits.

New York, Oct. Son the eve of his
departure for England, after a six
weeks visit in America, Sir William
Ramsay, X. C. B., F. r. s., professor
In chemistry at the University college,
London, has been given a banquet by
the physical science department of
the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Science.
Sir William, in addressing the ji-
ners, said he had been much impressed
by the great power of organization
displayed by leading manufacturers
and commercial men in America, but
also had learned that men employed
in a scientific capacity-especially
those engaged in teaching the sciences
as well as law and medicine-were
earning less than they would if they
engaged in industrial pursuits.
"This condition of affairs" he on
tinued, unless remedied, and remedied
soon, will lead to the lowering of the
whole educational status, for /. Will
inevitably react upon the training of
professional and scientific men in this
country. If trained by third-rate
teachers-as they must bet isunlike-
ly that they will take the rank which
they would have taken if their teach
ers had been men of first-class ability.
1t is not necessary that every pro-
fessOr should earn high emoluments,
but it is necessary that those who fill
the most important positions in the
leading universities Of the country
should be well paid. / nave noticed
that very large sums are left or given
TO teaching institutions in America by
itch men. Generally, these sums seem
10 be applied to the erection of new
buildings and sometimes to the found
ing of entirely new institutions. While
the spirit which leads to such benefi-
cent gifts should meet with COM
mendation, l would suggest that it
would be better if the prospective dom
ors would increase the emoluments OF
existing chairs, and if they wish to
pe%rpetuate their names in connection
with such gifts these chairs could
easily be named after them"

Rivers are Low.

Capt. W. D. Pugh, superintendent
of the Yazoo Transportation Com
pany, reports that the company has
been compelled to abandon attempts
to run the larger boats plying in the
river trade owing to the low stage
of water. The Yazoo river has
reached the lowest stage recorded for
many years, and only the smaller
steamboats, are able to get up and
down the stream. The tie up Of the
larger boats is a rather severe blow
owing to the large amount of cotton
being offered for transportation at
various points. Every stream in the
State is in the same condition, Pear!
river being remarkably low, and only
one or two very small boats are en-
deavoring to navigate the stream.

Holdinq Their Clop.

The farmers of Mississippi are be-
coming convinced hat higher prices
will prevail for cotton this year, and
they ere holding the product to await
the advance. The reports from the
principal market towns show that
the receipts are far below ~expecta-
tions, and it seems that whenever
the farmers can make financial ar
engagements to do so they are storing
the staple, feeling confident of an
advance in prices later on. Some of
them are SO sanguine that they pre-
dict 15-cent cotton before the end of
the saason. The banks are giving
material aid in the effort to hold
back the crop by making substantial
loans to the farmers who are in need
of money.

regular triangle, the apex of which is
Tie pass, with the base running from
Mukden to Fushan ON the upper
reaches Of the Hun river. will soon
be the theater of extended and ex-
tensive military operations.
Tie Pass as Main Base.
The Russians apparently are using
the Tie pass as their main base, and
are constructing a series of d~efenses
to shield it from the south and east.
Two roadways approach Tie pass from
the south. One of these roadways is
tho main highway from Mukden, and
the other, which is smaller, starts at
Fushan and winds through a hilly
country. Nineteen miles north of Muk-
den is The town of Yilu, the southern
ana eastern approaches to which are
sheltered by sharp ridges, offering a
natural protection. 1t is reported here
that the Russians are strongly in
trenchirg in these ridges and erect
ing semi-permanent Notifications. The
1ilu river, which is shallow and ford
able, runs through the town.
Russians Are FOrtifying.
The Russians are reported to be
fortifying the right bank of this river
between Yilu and Tahaitun, Is miles
10 the northward. Several lines of
ridges cross the road, and it is said
the Russians are erecting works on
many of these eminences between Ia
haitun and Tie pass. For seven miles
the country, generally speaking, is
fat, although commanding the road
way from the eastward is a hill 1000
metres in height, which the Russians
are fortifying. A range of hills TANKS
Tie pass on the eastward.
Are Holding Fushan.
The Russians are holding Fushan
with a heavy force, and it is believed
they are erecting works along the road
from that place to Tie pass.
This defensive work of the Russians
ana the disposition of their forces
strengthens the belief that Gen. Kuro-
patkin merely intends to retard Field
Marshal Oyama in his crossing Of the
Hun river, and to give battle on the
ground which he is now hurriedly
terrifying.

uncertainty as to What VIII BE the
Next Move of the Japanese.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 5.-Tne military
critics at St. Petersburg share in the
general uncertainty as to how to size
up the situation at the front of Field
Marshal Oyama makes his anticipated
advance. They seem to agree that a
strong screening movement is in prog
ress Immediately east of Lao Yang,
that probably a feint will be made
| from the west, hat the tactics of the
Japanese at Lao Yang will be repeat
ed and that Gen. Kuroki will attempt
a wide thanking movement from the
east. Some ofthe critics point OIL that
the conditions at Port Arthur may
| force change in Oyama's plan of cam
paign. The continued failure Of the
| attacks on the fortress and the enor-
nous losses sustained by the besiegers,
they think, may compel Oyama to dis
| patch some veteran troops from the
| M~anchurian army to Gen. Nodzu's sup
port, as the reinforcements arriving
at Port Arthur are mostly reserve
men.
Praise For Gen.. StOesseI.
Unstinted praise Is bestowed on
Lieut-Gen. Stoessel for the heroic de-
tense made by the garrison, which nat
urally is increasing the hope that the
fortress may hold out. In the mean
time, Gen. Kuropatkin Is receiving re-
Inducements, especially artillery. New
ertheless. the experts express great
doubt whether Gen. Kuropatkin con-
templates more than a passive resist
ance at Mukden, where, they say, the
typographical conditions are %unfavor-
able. for defense. It Is considered sig
nificant that the critics generally agree
that Tie pass Is a better position for
both defense and offense, being pro-
tected by the Lao river on the west
and Offering strong positions on the
Kama range on the east. The general
conclusion is that the Japanese forces
will show their hands in a very short
time.
A New Force to Reckon With.
Evidence Is accommodating that jap
anese officers are at the head of the
Chinese bandits operating at Kuropat-
kin's right flank, and the continued
reports of agitation among the Chi
nese, spread by the a~nti-foreign prop
uganda, are increasing the feeling OF
anxiety. These factors will soon have
to be severely reckoned with by Rus
