NATIONS EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

According TO the treasury statement

tary Shaw's guess on the years deficit
was better than even he dared to hope
six weeks ago. The guess was only Sc
100000 off, the deficit being about s24,-
100000, instead of SIS, 900, coo as esti-
mated by Mr.. Shaw
But a deficit of even s24. SOC. coo should
be "a cause of cOngratulation for the
secretary. The month of June came
CALAMITY to his rescue with a surplus
of nearly $13.0OO,OOO, and this unexpect-
ed amount reduced the promised deficit
of $S7.0O0,OOO TO the figure given above.

MURRAYs GREAT FOURTH.

Within period of little more than
two years. Murray has risen from an
unincOrporated village to a city Of the
second class, a record that speaks eIo-
duently of the advancement made by
that portion of the county lying south
Of Salt Lake City. The people of Muir
ray are planning to make the Fourth
Of July the occasion of a double cele-
bration to commemorate the birth of
the nation and the birth of the greater
city of Murray Governor Cutler has
promised to be orator of the day and
those who have the celebration in
charge have expressed a determination
to make it one of the most notable af-
fairs OF the kind in the history of the
state. -..-.---..-.
Murray's rise in rank means added
responsibilities and added privileges for
its citizens. The splendid enterprise of
what may no longer be referred to as
"the smelter town" may be depended
upon to solve what difficulties may
arise by meeting them with a truly pro
gressive spirit. Murray enters upon
its career las a city of the second class
with the best wishes of its larger neigh
Dor, salt Lake City, and the rest of the
state.

TO cases where the high american tariff
mas caused retaliation.
Under the maximum and minimum
tariff scheme. which has never been
tried by the United States. two rates
of customs duties are enforced. The
system is reciprocal in that the mini
mum rate is levied upon imports from
countries that give the importing coun-
try the benefit of their lowest rates,
while the maximum rate is charged
against countries that do not make this
concession to the importing country.
complete revision of the present
tariff schedules would be necessary to
the adoption of this plan. and there is
every reason to believe a complete
change of congress-. or at least a COM
pIete change Of control, is necessary to
any modification of the existing rates
which have been so profitable to the
protected interests. The abandonment
of the plan to call special session Of
congress in October was virtual ad-
mission OF victory for the standpatters,
and marked change of front on the
part Of congress will have to be shown
before any assurance of tarifT modifi-
cation, by the adoption of the maximum
and minimum or any other plan, can
be given There is slight hope for this
change while AIdrich. Dalzeu. Gros-
venor, Cannon and other leaders of the
standpatters retain their influence.
1t is, nevertheless, gratifying to learn
that the president contemplates making
an investigation of the character indi-
aa An, \,
Quoted thoroughly and honestly, ought
to disclose much important information
and will be of great educational value
to the people of the country, even
though existing conditions appear to
preclude the possibility of immediate
relief The advocates of tariff revision
are not afraid to submit their case on
its merits

EoR A RATIONAL FOURTH.

Proper observance of Mayor Morris
proclamation by police officers and
celebrants viii go a long way toward
giving Salt Lake city a rational
Fourth" this year. The proclamation
permits of sufficient noise and illumina-
ton to satisfy all reasonable persons.
while it places just restrictions on the
celebration.
Two paragraphs of the proclamation
are especially commendable, the one re-
lating to the sale of toy pistols and
metal caps to children, and the one re-
lating to the placing Of explosives on
street car tracks. The toy pistol has
been found to be most prolific source
of loekjaw, and when combined with
metal caps. frequently charged with
high explosives. has been the cause of
many severe wounds of children. The
placing of torpedoes and other explo-
sives on the street car rails is one of
the most iIl-advised of all forms Of
celebration. Passengers on the cars
have no means of knowing when the
explosions viii take place. and the
shock of nervous women especially is
often of the most serious character.
Livery one IS IdInll1ar with the custom
of stringing the .torpedoes for many
feet along the rails to produce q series
or explosions lasting several seconds.
Were none but strong men and boys
affected the practice would not be so
bad. but the chief sufferers are women
and children. invalids and others whose
state of health makes them poorly fit
ted 10 withstand the shock of a celebra-
ton to which they are made parties
against their win.
The mayors warning against the use
OF firearms. by directing attention to
the law prohibiting their discharge. is
in line with his other precautions for
the protection of life and limb.
Protection 10 property Is contem-
plated by the sections of the proclama-
ton prohibiting the use of fireworks in
back yards. alleys. etc. and the build
ing Of bonfires anywhere in the city.
Probably the police and fire depart
ments do not need any special instruc-
tions TO make every effort to enforce
the law governing the celebration of
the day. but the mayors proclamation
VIII serve to impress the existing laws
upon their minds as well as to make
plain to them the extent to which the
mayor has determined to exercise his
discretionary power.
