OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

Congress ought to have a commit
tee appointed to invent some new aliases
&C.. raids on the Observation-Disclosures
Post.
An administration that with fall
,ng revenues puts off tariff revision and
takes up ship subsidies ought to &c one
of Prof. Rieber's logic machines right
away.-N. Y. Herald.
Mr.. Shaw would have the draw
4; Gk provisions of our tariff law simpli-
fed. They cannot be simplified much,
for the drawback is at best a cuwber-
soroa affair. The real remedy for pres
ent conditions is a lower rate OF duty
and free raw Observation-Disclosures
News.
THE only tariff re~visionists who
will accomplish anything are the pro-
tected industries, who will frame new
schedules giving them a little more PRO
lection The Commoner.
Postmaster General Wynne speaks
az the adverse balance in the depart
uent's accounts of nearly $780, 900 as
~"so-called" deficit. If it wasn't called
a deficit, could he figure out of 1t some
thing to the credit of the republican
party? 1t is the greatest deficit in the
history of the post Office, and the at
tempt to belittle it does not make the
figures any smaller.-Florida Times

The Windfall in Missouri Attribu-
table Only to Democratic
Default.

An interesting and fairly typical ex-
PLANTATION Of Missouri's present political
status is given by Representative Coch-
ran, who declares that many of the vot-
erS. being unable to perceive sufficient
difference between the republican and
democratic platforms this year, became
Indifferent and remained away from the
polls.
Republicans will find small satisfac-
ton, but democrats are afforded ample
encouragement, says the st. Louis Re-
public, in considering Mr.. Cochran's
statement that since Missouri last gave
a republican electoral vote, more than
30 years ago. the democrats have car
ried nearly every state in the union. He
points out that they have elected gov
errors in Massachusetts five times and
in Pennsylvania twice. Yet it is difficult
to regard either of these rock-ribbed
republican states as even doubtful.
Two years hence" says Mr.. Cochran,
Missouri will go democratic by 10000"
Missouri is quite as likely to return
to its normal democratic majority as
were Pennsylvania n Massachusetts,
after several periods of democratic con
troll, TO resume their republicanism;
very much more likely, in fact, since
those states were not merely permitted
to go by default, but were turned by
political changes in the voters, whereas
10000 stay-at-homes were responsible in
Missouri. Missouri's democrats are
democrats still few Of them voted the
republican ticket.
A democratic default has resulted in a
| republican windfall in Missouri; moth
ing more. The state is not conquered
and possessed. Republicans should
make the most of the luck while it lasts.
Democrats will exert their strength al
the first test to throw off the condition
of evil and return to their unfettered
mastery of the situation.

Statements Coming In.

Auditor II. NJ. Henry is receiving
a number of bank statements, in res
spouse to his call issued several days
ago for a statement of the condition
of the banks of Mississippi on the
31st day of December. The state
ments received by the auditor show
that the financial houses Of Missls-
sippi closed their business for the
year in a very prosperous condition,
and gives hope for the future buss
ness. The statement on the 31st of
December makes the fourth of the
year, and when the returns from all
banks are received an idea of the
general years business can be got
ten, and also a comparison will be
made with a like statement made on
the 31st of December, 1908.

The Echo de Paris Charges That
the Plans Have Been
Drawn UP.
They INCLUDE INVASION
OF FRENCH IND0-CHIkA
Claimed In Paris that the MikadO
Has Sent Ultimaturn to Chile,
Threatening to lombard that Ma
tion's Ports If She Sells Her Ma
w to Russia.

Paris. Jan. 11.-That Japan plans an
invasion of French Indo-China is as
serted by the Echo de Paris, on the
strength Of plans which the paper as
serts have been prepared by Gen. no
dana, one of the mikadO's most skill
full soldiers and former viceroy OF For
mOsa.
The Echo does not explain how the
document came into its hands, but
prints it in full. 1t indicates that the
intention, after crippling the Russian
power in Manchuria, is to crush the
smaller French forces farther south,
preparing meanwhile a powerful navy
to meet reinfOrcements from Russia or
France.
1t is claimed in official circles here
that the mikado has cent an ultima
tum to Chile, threatening to lombard
the ports of the South American re-
public should the proposed sale of
Chilean warships to the car be effect
ed.
Rumors are current that a strong
Japanese fleet is steering at full speed
in pursuit of Admiral Ro~iestvenskv's
squadron. hoping to annihilate it be-
fore it can reach European waters.
St. Petersburg reports the capture
by Gen. KurOpatkin of a Japanese con
vOy near San Tai Use.

COST OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Government by the United States
Greater Than other National
Dependencies.

With an export trade of $332, 600 ,000
the Philippine islands are called upon
10 pay $12, 500, 900 in 1903 for the ex-
penses of insular government; in other
words, for every 500 worth of produce
exported from the islands the general
government costs $39. If to this We add
municipal and provincial government.
says Alleyne Ireland, in Atlantic, the
ratio of expenditure on government &c
count to value of exports is raised to 46
per cent.
Comparing the cost of government,
on the basis adopted above, with that
of five British dependencies in various
parts of the tropics-Ceylon, Barba-
does, British Guiana, Trinidad and the
federated Malay states-the average
is q per cent, as against 46 per cent. in
the Philippines.
But this does not close the compart-
son. In the British dependencies every
charge connected with the government
whether of a civil or a military nature.
is paid by the local government; il
the Philippines all military expenses
are paid by the United States; and the
islands do not even pay for their own
police work, as a body supplementary
to the Philippine constabulary, are ON
the army payroll.
