PE6CEF

Will IL mean peace? That is the question
which the world is most asking about the fall
OF Port Arthur. The terms OF capitulauon, the
details of the siege and storm and all their dread
ful cost the propriety Of the Russian action IN
destroying forts and ships before the surrender
ell take second place in serious thought. They
are interesting enough 10 those who have a
taste for horrors; but the world has already
summed full of horrors and would now fain turn
10 the repose of peace. Doubtless the wish is
father 10 the thought In the widely current ex-
pectations that this capitulatiOn will be fol
lowed by negotiations for an ending of the war
Those who cherish such expectations should not
be oversanguine. But they ought not to be dis
appointed. the logical time for peace has come
Logic. moreover. is reinforced by necessity or
by what seems like ii. True, fighting ma
lions are not always logical, and what seems

not help thinking that the demand for peace is
now so strong that it should be listened to by
tbose who have the issues of peace and war
within their hands.
1t rests, Of course with Russia. Japan en-
tered the war reluctantly, and has been ready,
so the world understands, 10 make peace at any
time But it is for Russia TO make the over

seems desirable that she should do so now.

people if they are told that the imperial gov
ernment has decided TO reject their appeal for
domestic reforms and 70 persist in the war
against which they have protested and Of
which the cost has already been so appalling?
Finally from the point OF view of foreign
sentiment and relations, there can be no ques-
ton that Russia would do well to seek peace.

THE TREASURYS HALF YEAR

The Treasury's balance sheet for the first half
OF the fiscal year ended December 81 discredts
utterly the prophecies of approaching bank
ruptcy so recklessly made last summer by the
Democratic candidates for President and Vice
President. The deficit for the half year is not
''over $7O000,O0O," as it should be, according to
their infantlle calculations. The actual shortage
is SD, 1878 SOFA million and half less than the
deficiency reported on August 81 Instead of
running deeper into debt the Treasury has in
the last, four months more than paid its cur
rent expenses from current receipts, and there
is every prospect that in the next six months
the losing balance Of the first two months will
be still further reduced.
For December a surplus is shown of S3, $780,
905. This favorable balance has been achieved
too, in spite of unusually heavy December
disbursements. Last year the expenditures for
the month were only $32, ,24S,OOO. TAis wear
they rose TO $41, ,497, ,OO0-a difference of over
$9,000000 But receipts also ran ahead this
year, reaching S45,047, ,9O5-against S42747. .592
in December, 1908. This gain quite reverses
the process which led to the heavy deficits of
July and August Then expenses were mount
ing while receipts were shrinking For those
two months disbursements rose $4,000 900
above the level of 10000, and receipts de-
creased about S7,O00,OO0. In the succeeding
four months some of this lost ground has been
running ahead of last year, showing an excess
for the half year of n little over 100000 900
the Treasury's income since August 81 has
shown gain of over S7.0o0OOO, and receipts
for the half year now fully up to last
years figures. This gain is expected to hold
for the rest Of the year. If it does, the Treas
urys adverse balance will be diminished ma
terialy The expenditure for the first six
months was a dispropOrtionate one many
deficit charges having been met which will not
recur between now and next July. Ordinary
disbursements from now on will hardly exceed
those of last year. and with a further improve
ment in the revenue the years deficit ought
surely to fall below $20OO0,OOO
1t is interesting TO note that of the $50 O00
900 excess expenditure this year nearly S13,-
100000 has gone TO naval construction Eight
millions more has gone TO the support of the
army. Any outcry of 'extravagance" raised by
critics of the governments present policy must.
therefore resolve itself largely into a protest
against the creation of an adequate and eff
cent American navy and the working ont of
the reforms which have put our army at last
on an effective and mouern footing 1t is clear

Few men accomplish as much for themselves
or for others in short life did William H.
Baldwin, jr. whose untimely death yesterday, at
the age of forty-one. will bring sorrow to men
in many different avenues of business and phi
anthropy and to all who ever came under the
influence of his delightful personality. Grad
uated FROM college only nineteen years ago. he
began at the bottom of the ladder a clerk in
railroad office, and by sheer force OF executive
capacity, rose after service with the Union
Pacific. Southern and other railroads to be the
president of the Long Island Railroad and the
supervisor of the great Pennsylvania improve
ment connecting New-York and Long Island
with the continental railway system. But Mr..
Baldwin was more than a railroad man. He
was treasurer Of the board of trustees of Tus-
kegee Institute and a member of the Southern
Education Board. He interested in all mat
ters of political reform and civic Improvement,
and his active work In securing the present Ten
ement House law is we'll remembered. The
