the banks during the usual season of monetary activity. The fiscal year ends much stronger from a revenue standpoint than was expected few months ago, the expenditures exceed ing the revenue by less than S25, ,000,- 000. comparing with deficit of $45,- O0O.000 in round numbers the preced- ing fiscal year The latter record in- cluded the exceptional payment for the Panama canal, but the current show ing is nevertheless satisfactory, not alone from the monetary supply lnfu cnce on the stock market. but also from the broader influence of tarih legislation, which will undoubtedly be q stock market influence in the au- tumn. With the improvement in reve- nue may be expected corresponding modification in the demand for the re- construction of existing tariff sched- ules to an extent that will permit the necessary increase in receipts to be obtained by placing moderate duties upon articles now on the free list. such as coffee. tea. etc. This, according to best Washington advices, seems the plan now most favored by the admin istration's trusted advisers.

 General Dr Wood. home on leave from the Philippines, says that the tariff on imports from there is the greatest drawback to their prosperity.

 Now the administration is up in arms against MT Wallace, of Panama canal fame, for quitting the job for private position with more money at- tached. That's queer. Everybody sup posed that Paul Morton resigned to get more money from the Equitable. and the administration is batting him on the back and throwing cloak about his rate rebate idea of commer- cialism.-Middletown Penny Press.

The big insurance companies have found it necessary to have protection at Albany and have paid out vast sums to the bosses on both sides. It is believed that they will have enough with Higgins and the legislature to prevent any complete exposure of the expenditures which have been made for political purposes, and in the lobby. Depew began his career as a lawyer by lobbying for the Equitable at Albany. There has been no disclosure of the total amount which he has received from the com pany, but it is probably more than $500. O.Oo0.-Hartford Times.

The statistics of crime are depress- ing. yet the criminals form very in- considerable portion of the population. Crimes are a matter of record. They figure formidably in the census re- turns. The virtue of community is not computable. It is difficult to de- termine whether there is more crime relatively to population now than there was 100 years ago. We know that more publicity is given to crime in these days. owing to the wonderful ac- tivity of the newspapers and modern facilities for gathering news. We hear more about crime and criminals than our forebears did. Honesty and fidelity are expected of men and cut little ig- ure in the public prints.
