MOROCCAN GAME AND CANDLE.

Talk of disagreement at Algeciras and of
immediate war between France and Germany
continues. Some are saying the German army
Is all ready, and are specializing upon the pre-
else route 1t will take In marching to Paris.
Others are selecting the IMAM on horseback
whom the war will bring to the fore in France
and will place upon a revamped imperial throne.
We suppose such talk must be accepted as one
of the inevitable ills of lfe though we really
do think it might have been held In allegiance
until the end of the Morgan Cromwell farce
comedy at Washington. But since it has been
imposed upon us. it seems fitting to observe
that it is mostly foolishness
In the first place. it is not certain and 1t does
not seem even probable that there will be
hopeless disagreement at Algeciras. Just wait
at any rate. until the delegates stand up and
are counted. In the next place, if there should
be a final disagreement, it might and indeed
ought not to mean anything more than a refer
ence Of the matter to the tribunal at The Hague
or 10 some other arbitration Again, falling
that we do not see anything more ominous
than reversiOn to the status quo ante, and we
cannot discern in that prospect any inevitable
cause for war. We remember an unpleasant
little episode down at Fashoda, some years ago,
concerning which there was talk of an impasse,
a deadlock, a rupture and all manner of fear
some things, but our impression is that it was
smoothed over without the striking of single
blow.
What these foreboders of evil forget or over
look is the mOnstrous disproporton between the
game and the candle in of a over
Morocco. Just think for moment: Germany
has a mercantile marine of 100000 tons and
a foreign trade of SO0OOOOOO year. France
has a mercantile marine Of ], 100000 tons and a
foreign trade of nearly S2.O00.OO0,0O0. is it
conceivable that those countries, which are gov
erned by some of the coolest headed, most con-
sentative and most practical statesmen in the
world, are going lightly to imperil their vast
interests, and largely sacrifice them. for the
sake of a half-savage country in Africa, the
sum total of whose entire commerce is less
than s19.OOO.OOO year. or less than one-tenth
great the direct trade between France
and Germany? Not unless the war drums were
actually beating in the Vosges should we be-
lieve them capable of such folly and such sim

ENEORCE THE I,1lR

The attention of the public authorities ought
10 De given more effectively TO the reprehen-
sible practice Of sending children to saloons for
liquors. 1t matters not whether these are dis
titled, fermented or the beverages which pass
as soft drinks" 1t is question of the effect
OF association upon the child at the formative
period Of Its character and habits. Even In the
most orderly and well conducted places where
liquors are sold, sober men do not always keep
guard upon their speech and demeanor and
drunken customers are not rare. The fact that
1t is sent after beer is no mitigation of the
criminal offence against the child. And the
further fact that large proportion OF the pop
ulaaon is made up Of foreign born citizens and
or natives OF foreign born parentage who re-
gard beer as staple article of diet, for which
view OF 1t they believe they have good author
iy, is entirely beside the question. 1t is not
the thing for which the child is sent that is so
much TO be considered as the place to which it
Is sent
1T has been suggested that more law is re-
qulred In order to remedy this ev:, thts crime
against our future citizenship. But we believe
1t Is not more law. but the rigid enforcement

A SURPLUS IN THE TREASURY.

For the first tine in nearly two years the
government finds its receipts more than bal
hncing its expenditures. In May, 1904, the
Treasury paid SJ00O0000 out of its cash
funds 10 extinguish the French canal COM
pany's title TO its plant and concessions on
the lsthmus OF Panama and to acquire per
petual right OF way across the isthmus from
the Panama Republic. Those disbursements ate
I'D a surplus Of 100000. accumulated prior
TO that date, and created a net deficit for
10000 Of S4lO00000 Since July /, 1904, the
Treasury had failed TO collect enough money to
pay even Its ordinary expenses. The fiscal year
19O4-O5 ended with a deficit of $23 1887 600 The
current year opened with deficit for July and
August OF S1s.5S9,OoO. Between September
and March ], however this loss was gradually
made good. By January 81, 1906 the deficit
had fallen to S3,897 600. On February 81 the
adverse balance was only S2S3, 100, and on Feb
ruary Is surplus for the year was reported
OF s1,l02,002.
The Tribune long ago predicted this better
ment In Treasury conditions We maintained
last August, when some pessimistic experts
were forecastng a deficit of S40OOoOO0 that
the years receipts and expenditures would at
least balance when the final accounting should
be made up. Last December Secretary Shaw,
prophesied deficit for the year Of $4,000, 600
But January and February have shown such
oecoeo cams IN receipts that the Secretary
prophecy now sounds ultra-conservative Com.
pairing this fiscal year with last year. the eight
months ending with February have turned a
deficit Of So. 4o5.5S3 into surplus of 81 1o2.

CHINA'S CIVIL SERVICE CHANGE.

One reason why the present unrest in China
hostility TO foreign devils is to be found in the
considerable change which has been effected in
the civil service and t'.3lic life of the empire
Formerly the road TO distinction in China was
through the examination halls" and that can
didate was surest of appointment or promotion
In the civil service who could grind out the best
machine made poetry and write the most plat
itudinous essays themes from the pandects of
Confucius. Under such system ignorance of
the world misrepresentation Of other nations and
superstition of 81 mischievous type all but
inevitable.
But that system has been greatly modified
According to authoritative reports, public SER
wants are no longer to be taken from the classic
examination halls" national educational
system has been established with public schools
in all the cities and towns, in which geography
is taught well as Confucius and practical
sciences as we'll poetry. 1t Is In such insti-
tutions that civil servants being edu-
service still TO be made after competitive
examinations. the examinations will be of a
most practical kind and especially include pol
tiles and international affairs
That may mean in the near future a pretty
complete Transformation Of the Chinese govern
ment and China's emergence from her age long
dreams into the practical. everyday life of the
rest of the world. That may be ominous for
some other nations. because Of the tremendous
