THE rapidly increasing deficit already
placed at $50, 900, 600 is giving Score
tary Shaw many a bad quarter of an
hour. He has discussed the condition
of the treasury with all his assistants.
The deficit may be expected to grow
rapidly Immediately after July l. The
deficit for next year is already estimated
at between $50, 900, 900 and $50, e00,-
600. The heavy deficit this year is due
solely TO the fact that revenues are not
sufficient to meet ordinary expenses, a
system of housekeeping that drives the
private individual into bankruptcy. OF
the Sl7O, 900, 900 deposited in national
banks less than $4,000, 900 remains,
and call is out now for the return to
the treasury of s27, 900, 900 OF that sum.
But the reckless expenditures still go on
and no efforts are being made along the
lines of retrenchment and reform.

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL IS, 1905.

The announcement in another column
that General Fitzhugh Lee has received
a stroke of apoplexy will be read With
sincere regret not only by Alexsndrians,
to whom he is so we'll known, but through
out his native State, the South and
the entire country, as he has for num-
her of years played prominent part IN
the history Of the United States. The
generals condition is not regarded as
critical, although it is occasiOning bis
relatives and friends anxiety. General
Lee, like his distinguished uncle, was
familiar figure in Alexandria, and
he was personally acquainted with
a large percentage OF our people
His military record had preceded
him long before he took up his
abode in this vicinity. Faithful in the
defense of his own State, he WAS equally
40 as Governor of the Old Dominion, as
Collector of Internal Revenue for this
district and later in the employment OF
the President of the United States as
Consul General at Havana at time when
it required craftsmanship, nerve and a
cool head. His services were appreciat-
ed in such measure that when the late
William Mckinley was elected President
he continued General Lee at Havana not
withstanding the fact that he had been
appointed under democratic admins
tration. In fact the entire republican
party, as greedy as many Of its members
were for office, protested against his re-
moyal when it was requested by Spain.

The TARIFF war between Germany
and the United States. threatened by
the notification from Germany that the
present commercial treaty between the
two countries shall cease March !, 1906,
is regarded as certain to result in de
mand by Germany for tariff concessions
upon her manufactured goods in return
for low duties by Germany upon Amerl-
can cotton, grain and foods.uiis. The
commerce involved amounted last year
to 1929, 900, SAC, of which the United
States received for goods sent to Ger
many 1912, $50, 902. IDasmuch as Ger
many has almost everything to gain and
comparatively nothing 10 lose, it is expect
ed that the terms she suggest will be any
thing but advantageous to this country
The chief exports fiOm the United Statee
to Germany are cotton, wheat and other
grain. fruits and meat. The imports
from Germany consist chiefly Of manu-
features of class that do not conflict ma
terially with manufactures in this country
The fact that in the event Of a tariff
war, such as the State Department be-
lieyes to be inevitable, the United States
has much more to lose than Germany,
gives the latter nation decided advan'
tage. Whatever is to I've done by Con-
gress must be done before March
next Otherwise the present treaty will
expire and, with no other argument to
take its place, the German duties upon
American products will, under the new
German tariff law, he advanced from 80
