PARKER'S RESIGNATION.
Il Adds to the Favorable Impression
Made by His Telegram.


Judge Parker's resignation from
the bench adds to the favorable i'm
preston he created By his message
to the Democratic national convention
in regard to the trrevocable establish
ment Of the single gold standard.
By this action he practically elimi-
mates himself from the political field as
q possible candidate next year for the
recent judicial office which he held
Had he not resigned that position be-
fore Aug. Q he would have been eligi-
BILE for reelection to it next year for q
full term Of fourteen years in case he
is defeated in November for president
Of the United States. His successor as
chief Judge Of the court Of appeals for
a full term will now be elected next
fall.
While Judge Parker's resignation is
only in strict line with the attitude
which he has all along held with re-
gard to the dignity Of the judicial posi-
ton he occupied, it is a stroke Of
shrewd politics. 1t amounts to a pub
lie announcement that he is strong in
the belief that he will tenant the
White House after March 4. 1905, and
the fact can hardly fail to inspire Dem
ocrats with added aggressiveness and
enthu4iasm.

TREASURY TRICKS.
sAsw F..bli.s win Financial
0t04ements.

Secretary Shaw Is trying to trick the
voters into believing that the condition
Of the United States treasury is more
favorable than 1t really is, but the
truth must eventually be published.
The high protective tariff is getting in
its deadly work not only by fostering
the trusts and allowing them to plum
der the consumers. but by reducing the
customs receipts 50 that the expenses
Of the government exceed the income.
"At the end of the last fiscal year the
unfavorable aspect Of the treasury
statement" says the Journal Of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin. was
somewhat m:tigated By holding back
payments us much as practicable near
the end Of June.
This made the deficiency of revenue
to meet expenditures appear less than
It otherwise would and came near to
justifying the secretary's estimate Of
last December, after deducting the
Panama and st. Louis exposition items.
It was the result Of forcing the state
ment by deferring payments, but these
had to be added to the heavy disburse-
ments of July and tended to make the
statement for that month still more
unfavorable. It appeared week before
the month ended that there would be
q deficiency Of over $21 100000. which
was perilously near to one-third Of the
expenditures, that would have to come
out Of the surplus. The official state
ment after the month closed showed q
deficiency Of only $17, 7,407, ,727.97. which
was another mitigation. Not only
were payments again held back, but
the amount Of the Central Pacific rail-
road note Of nearly 100000, payable
on the LIST of August, was included in
the miscellaneous receipts Of July,
where it did not properly belong. The
receipt Of 100000 on account Of the
st. Louis exposition loan helped out O
little more.
These little tricks for making the
treasury statements look more favor
able are unworthy of a great govern
ment and would be severely criticised
II openly resorted to by private cor
poration. They are the more foolish
because they deceive no one capable
Of forming judgment, and they do
not obscure the fact that the govern
ment is rapidly running behind in its
finances. The secretary's estimate Of
a deficiency Of S23,OOO,OO0 for the cur
rent fiscal year bids fair to be largely
exceeded. He admitted short time
ago that it might reach anywhere from
$7O,O00,OOO to $9O,O0OOOO ON account of
falling customs receipts. This he ex-
plained by the Illuminating statement
that the Dingley tariff is tariff for
prosperity and. these not being very
prosperous times, it Is not good
revenue producer Its main purpose
is to restrict importation and so check
foreign trade, and it is only when We
import largely in spite Of it that suf
ficient revenue can be counted upon
Mr.. Shaw admitted that the deficiency
Of 1894 under the Wilson German Law
was less than it would have been un
der the Dingley act, by way Of account
ing for the shortcoming Of the latter
when prosperity wanes, but that ht
considered really a merit. The les:
the secretary manipulates and ex
plains his statements the more char
itably will they be judged by thos'
who understand them"
