Government Finances.

The first month of 1906 pro-
duced very satisfactory results as
regards the finance of the gov
eminent.
In the first place, the deficit,
which a year ago was over $2S, :
500, 600, was reduced so that on
February LIST it was only 81, 00O,-
OOO, with the prospect that this
amount will be entirely wiped out
during the present month. The
public debt was decreased during
the month of January S,3l5, 072.
There is now n cash balance on
hand Of nearly l$l44,OO0, 600,
with daily receipts eQualng the
expenditures, This splendid con-
ditlon of the Treasury Is due to
large increase in customs and in
tcrnal revenue receipts, which
continue to be of record making
dimensions. The situation is the
hest possible testimony to the eff
dtacy Of the Dingley Tariff law,
which under such circumstances
it would be wrong indeed to
think Of changing in any partic-
uhr

Unhappy Russia.

Russia Is at present not even
in a hopeful condition. That
there is revolution in the atmos-
mosphere Of that unfortunate
country cannot be denied. To
many students of history and
prophetsof different nations there
seems an almost certainty that
anarchy and bloodshed will fol-
low az the inevitable result Of
the recent election, In which
every province but two voted
against the government.
Rech, the organ Of the Consti-
tutional Democrats, says. IF
Count Witte last November had
been able to feel the beating Of
the heart Of Russia, and had lis
tened to the words of M. Peter
unkevitch, he would not have
witnessed the horrors Of the pres
cnt revolution. The voice Of the
people becomes clearer and loud
err daily. If the government
does not listen to il, the country
is destined to pass through a cat
aclysm a hundred fold worse than
anything which has TRANSFERRED. -

CHINA GETS FREEDOM.
Emperor Promises to Grant Constitution
When People Are Fitted-New
Code Is Badly Needed.

PEKIN. Sept. 3.-The Emperor has
issued an edict promising constitutional
government when the people are fitted
for it. The cdict says
Since the beginning of our dynasty there
have been wise emperors who have made
laws suited to the times. Now that China
has intercourse with all nations our laws
and political system have become antiQuat-
ed, and our country is always in trouble
Therefore, it is necessary for to gather
more knowledge and draw up new code
of laws. otherwise we shall be unworthy
of the trust of our forefathers and the PEG
pie.
The edict cites the fact that travelling
commissioners report, that the cause of
China's weakness is antagonism between
the rulers and the ruled, and promises
administrative and financial reforms
When these are accomplished, and the
people have been educated to understand
their relations to the government, a con-
stitution will be framed. The time for
putting this into effect, the cdict says,
will depend upon the rapidity of the ma
tons progress toward enlightenment.
