AMERI0AN VICTORY AT ATHENS.

The net result Of this years Olympian games
though perhaps they should be called Athen-
ian, rather than Olympian, or at least an Athen-
ian revival Of the Olympian games-is a great
American victory, won by q margin so broad as
to leave possible doubt of the actual supe-
riOrity of American contestants. It will be OBJ
served that the Americans participated in only
a little more than One-half Of the contests. Yet
of the total number Of points in all the contests
they won nearly twice as many as their nearest
rivals. They won II while the British, who
came second, secured only 80. and the Greeks
and Swedes, who were next in order, got only
% each. A more sweeping victory than that
could not reasonably be desired.
II there be any cause for regret in the mat
ter, it is that the Americans did not compete in
all, more nearly all, of the contests, so as to
win in a greater variety OF tests OF athletic
prOwess. Their points were chiefly won in
walking running and leaping-exerciSes calling
for agility and speed rather than great strength
or long endurance. In fact, it might almost be
thought they were lacking in endurance They
won walking and running races up TO a distance
Of 1900 metres, but in the longer races such as
the Marathon road race OF twenty-six miles, the
five-mile race, the 3,OOO-metre walk and the so
hlometre bicycling race they did not get even
a second place One of them made fine show
ing in the Marathon race at first, but his en-
durance failed him at the end. The chief dis
play of strength was made in winning the shot
throwing contest II would have been a little
more satisfactory had our men won some of the
long distance races, TO show their staying
powers" and more contests in which great
strength was required.
Upon such features Of the case however. IL
would be ungraciOUs to dwell at length Our
men won far more victories than any others, and
they won them in a clean. sportsmanlike man
ner. They won, therefore, much more than
points; they won credit for American sportsman
ship abroad and clear title to the admiring
regard OF their cOuntrymen.
New-York tribune., 1906-05-04

would be made more apparent We're 1t not for
the drain on the Treasury's cash of isthmian
canal construction. Military expenditures have
been reduced by S1O.0OU,000- S5.O0O.OO0 being
saved on the army's account and $5,0O0.O00 on
the navy's The maintenance of the civil estab-
lishment has cost SS352O00 less. and S2,5OO000
has been paid out for pensions and In Indian
expenditures. But the outgo for public works
has been increased by more than S17.oo0000,
the larger part Of which should have been
charged TO a special canal fund raised by bond
sales. There is no good reason for saddling the
expenses OF the canal enterprise on a generation
which will not profit by its operation, or for
treating expenditure for this monumental work
as a current Treasury obligation to be met out
Of current receipts. With this anomaly in book
keeping corrected and with a strict adherence
20 the policy Of caution and economy in Congress,
the Treasury can soon regain the ground lost
since 1903 and easily satisfy all legitimate nat
ural demands in the near future.

PAY cALTFoRNIA's JUST CLAIMS.


The government of the United States, for rea-
sons arising chiefly from inertia rather than
from desire to avoid meeting it's legal respOn-
sibilities is proverbially slow debtor. 1t prac-
tically adopts the easy creed Of Letting the
other fellow walk the floor" For instance, only
the other day MP. Wachter introduced in the
House of Representatives a bill to repay $12,OOO
advanced by the State Of Maryland to the
United States through George Washington for
the purpose Of constructing public buildings at
Washington for the use of the federal govern
ment. Many states have claims, if not as old
as that of Maryland at least hOary with age.
If the states were exigent in their demands and
pressed for payment they could probably col
lect with reasonable promptness but as they in
turn are slow payers they let matters drift
along until the government gets good and
ready.
California, it appears, is one of these cred
itors Of the national government, having claims
against it amounting to S1.OO0,000 OH account
Of public lands another claim Of S4.0O0,000
growing out Of the War of the Rebellion, and
also Indian War claims of $66O,OO0, making an
aggregate of $566OOOO These are claims the
justice of which, Governor Pardee says, has
never been seriously questioned" and he init
mates that, owing to the recent wiping out of
San Francisco property representing one-fifth
of the assessed valuation of the entire state,
a prompt settlement would be greatly appre-
ciated.
OF course it is only under stress of actual
need that CALIFORNIA; Governor feels compelled
to remind a government whose generosity has
just been so munifcently shown that it has an
opportunity TO do a timely act of justice. Cali
fOrnia, it is to be hoped, will never again
stand so much in need of all its legitimate re
sources as it does to-day, and this reminder OF
the governments obligations ought at least to
have the effect of quickening the slow proc
esses of the Court of Claims and lead to an
untying or severing of the knots in the case

THE TREASURYG RECOVERv

The Treasury's statement for April greatly
strengthens the probability that the fiscal year
will end with comfortable surplus With only
two months remaining the government has Il net
balance TO its credit Of $3,959.671. May and
June usually bring surplus of from SSOOOOOO
20 SlZOOOOOO so that. in spite of the emer-
gency demands which have arisen since the San
Francisco calamity the Treasury can count on
closing the year without trenching on its avail
able cash reserve-an achievement it failed to
accomplish either in 10000 or 19O4-O5. April
this year brought deficit of s2OO3. .132-tho
first monthly deficit since October But the
improvement in Treasury conditions SO noticea-
bic this year has continued unchecked In April
1910. deficit Of S9.236,SlS was reported. The

of things, cannot be hastily completed. Ihe

promptly. The merits Of all innovations made
elsewhere should be carefully considered, and
il critical study shows that any of them
would give TO a possible adversary a distinct
advantage, steps should be taken TO remove
the inequality. Security demands an equipment
which will enable this country to match that
which may be used by its foes, whether this
equipment be the best infantry rifle that can
be found or warships which can safely con-
front the most powerful that are likely 90 be
arrayed against it. Any other course invites
disaster.
After ALL the programme Of the House Naval
Committee, so far it relates to battleships,
is exceptionally modest. 1t calls for only one
vessel of that description. The building of a
single battleship every year, as the President
pointed out in his last annual message, would
merely maintain the efficiency of the navy, for
some Of the older battleships are growing so
unserviceable that they must soon be discarded.
It would not pay to repair them. To propose
only to replace ships which are about to be
come useless with better ones, instead of ask
ing for a positive enlargement of the navy,
shows restraint, not prohigacy, on the part Of
the administration and Chairman Foss's COM
