Wild RepubIicanism.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat says
not even the widest democrat imag-
ines that the Parker ticket has any
chances for election" In the next
breath the same republican paper says
that should Davis succeed to the pres
idency on the occasion of any mishap
to Parker, he is so old he would not
last long.
Well, there is characteristic republi-
can logic for you. The Springfield
Register cannot understand why, if
mo one is wild enough TO imagine
that the Parker ticket will be elected,
a usually reliable old republican organ
like the Globe-Democrat will become
so demented. The Globe itself imag-
ines Parker as president, and even
goes further, and has Davis succeed
ing TO the presidency. II pictures that
venerable old man presiding in the
white house. The picture is not at all
Objectionable, and is pleasing indeed
when contrasted with the picture of
boots and spurs" which the white
house now presents.

St Louis payments are excluded; yet
there remains a net increase in total
expenditure over the previous fiscal
year of nearly s22, O0O, 900, nearly all of
which is accounted for in the item of
the navy. There is a little reduction
in army cost, but the present cost is
three or four times what IL was before
the Spanish war. 1t is militarism
which has been solving the problem
of the surplus.
Meanwhile the Washington govern
ment in the face of diminishing reYe-
nue., of increasing ordinary expenses,
and of disappearing surplus, has taken
on the extraordinary expenditure in
volved in the digging of the Panama
canal and has provided for further
and indefinite enlargement of pen
sion expenditures. AS it was, Secre-
Itary Shaw had estimated a deficit for
the new fiscal year of $4,000, 900. AS
matters now stand, il is likely to ex-
coed that figure by many millions.
But for the large accumulated sur
plus still on hand, the country would
face the necessity of additional feder-
al taxation.

Has the indiscreet Mr.. Loeb put his
foot in It again. IL will be remem-
bered that during Lord Lipton's last
visit to this country the secretary TO
the president made a very bad break,
that it took his chief some time to
explain and now it is said he has Civ
en- serious offense to a committee of
the miners union which is likely to
cause the president no end of trouble.
Happening during a campaign, and I'M
der such circumstances the latest
break of the private secretary seems
objectionable.

The Fiscal Year and the Surplus.

Secretary Shaw has been at pains to
tell the country how closely to the
event he forecasted government re-
ceipts and expenditures last Novem-
Der He then figured that a surplus
of $14 900, 900 would be the outcome of
the fiscal year: while now. leaving out
of account the $50. 100000 paid for the
Panama canal and $4.600.O0O lent TO
the st. Louis exposition, he is able to
show a surplus of s13.274,674. But
some S1l.0OO,oOO of this was accumu-
lated during the month of June. and
as it is within the power of the secre-
tary. in the last days of the fiscal year,
to withhold payments on many war
rants that may be presented, and car
~ the same over into the new fiscal
year. it is barely possible that the
June disbursements were governed to
a degree by the necessity of vindicat-
ing the accuracy of his own precalcu-
lations.
But in any case we have the nation
al government now operating on a
very small margin of revenue over eX-
penses. Compared with an excess of
receipts over outgoes of $77, zoo, 900 in
the fiscal year 1901. $91 300. 900 in the
year 1902 and S54,30O,0OO i'll the year
1908. we now have a surplus of little
over SIS. ZOO. O0O. And this comes about
more largely through increased eX-
penditure than reduced revenue or
taxation, as will be seen in the follow
ing comparison of total ordinary in
come and outgo:
Fiscal year. Receipts. Expenses
1901 ..........$5S7.6S5.337 $5o9.s6 1913
1902 ..-....... 562.47S.233 471.19O,S57
1903 .......... SOC, S96.674 5o6.Os9o COZ
1904 .......... 541.IS6,746 527.939.O7I
The 1904 expenditures here given do
not include the Panama and St. Louis
payments. Comparing the figures of
1904 with those of 1902, the year of
largest surplus among those given, we
find that revenue has been reduced by
about S21 100000 while expenditure
has increased nearly S57 .OO0, 900.
Thus the fact is that the surplus has
been practically wiped out rather by
extravaganza in expenditure than by
economy and reduced taxation. And
the precise direction in which govern
ment extravaganza is now running will
appear in the following:
