Cash in the Treasury

The fiscal year will be ended on June 30, and the government surplus at the end of the year will be some thing like $65, 5,O0O,000 If Congress had been sure that the surplus would be so large it would no doubt have in- dulged in more battleships and pos sibly in some ship subsidies.
 The surplus is largely due to the heavy customs collections, which al- ready exceed $SOO,OOO,0o0, and the month of June remains to be com pleted and reported. The customs all ready exceed the amount collected in the last fiscal year, and never until Lat year had the customs receipts reached the sum of $500, ,000,0 900. It was not until 1864 that they went up to $100, 100000, and during the Spanish war they did not rise to $150,000, ,000. The imports of the country are in- creasing rapidly, and if prosperity goes on unchecked the record of this fiscal year will readily be exceeded.
 The truth is, our exports under the Langley scheme are not increasing as rapidly as our imports. We are com- pelled to buy elsewhere a great quant- ity of raw materials to meet the de. mands of the home factories, and in- creasing wealth in this country calls diamonds and silks and champagne and all the other articles that the mil lionaire world freely consumes.

The HobsOn Plan

The recent educational tour of gov ernment experts throughout the Sixth district of Alabama under the auspices of Congressman R. P. Hobson not only accomplished something for the con gressman's constituents, but 1t has awakened a lively interest in other states in soil surveys, economic farm iEg, reclamation of swamp lands, for estry and roadmaking. The depar- tment of agriculture is now overrun with requests for experts to make "Hobson tours" in various rural sec tions of the United States. Old con- gressmen cannot understand how it was that Captain Hobson, newly elected member of Congress, could, even before taking the oath of office, get so much assistance from the de- partment of agriculture. The explana- ton Is easy Hobson was like the early bird. He conceived the "educational tour" idea and promptly asked the de- partment for the experts to enable him to carry it out. It greatly interested the farmers and made popular hit.
 The department cannot furnish ex- perts for all the agricultural districts, in the United States at one time, but 1t is obliging and will do the best it can Tn the meantime Hobson gets full credit for originating plan for the practical utilization of department ex- perts in the field.

RAISULI IS COMING.

From the Washington Post.
 Raisuli, the Moor, Is lonesome, and longs for the society of brother bandits. He has taken everything worth while In Morocco and now sighs for greater booty. Accordingly, he has had his secretary, Ras Baguli, write to New York to ar range for vaudeville engagement. It Is Raisulfs desire to withdraw from the overworked Moroccan circuit and try America a while, where he will find con- genial spirits and be in a position to compare notes on some of the fine points of his art.
 It will go hard If Ion Perdicaris, Raj sulis genial friend. does not join him in a vaudeville sketch. While MT. Perdi- caris was honoring Washington with his presence, he declared that Rasuli was one Of the most gentlemanly and accom- plished bandits In the world, with re- markable abilities In statesmanshp. He had found Raisuli to be all that was rep resented, and could cordially recommend him to any person who wished to be captured and held for a ransom. It is said that Raisuli, on his part, was ex- tremely averse to releasing Perdicaris, having round him most congenial and profitable prisoner. These old friends, parted by fate and united In vaudeville, ought to be worth seeing in slxit en- titled, say, "The Lemon Squeezers."
 Reports are current that Broadway is getting ready to give its brightest smile to Raisuli loyally recognizing him as one of the most expert men in the business. One report states that delegations of wire-tappers, sea serpents, dips and creepers will escort Raisuli to his hotel, working experimentally with him along the lnc of march," It Is further alleged that what the real experts In the bandit line will do to Raisuli when he hits these shores will be something to call for the intervention of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Bandits"
 Maybe; maybe; but probably not Ex- perience has shown that any willing worker from Europe can go to New York and clean out the town, returning with all the loot that he can carry. The human vermin who live on the larger birds or prey do not count for anything Raisuli can well afford to permit them to pick his pocket, while he is engaged in the bigger game of Tightening the public pocket. It Is not the dips" and "creep- CTS" who are dangerous to Raisuli, but the bandits in his own class. If Raisuli does not become a Perdicaris in their hands. his chances of a prosperous season in the United States are very good.

aspirants will take part. Taft, Root, La Toilette. Hughes, Cannon, Knox are all in the running, and there will be almost endless canvassing and eau cussing and conspiring and outbidding from early morn till candle light
 On the democratic side there is, perhaps, too much unanimity to admit of much real scrambling. Besides the great Nebraskan there are, however, some real aspirants, notably Gov. Folk, Senator Culberson and Senator Daniel, but many think the time is hardly ripe for the nomination of a southern man.
 But there will be fun enough in watching the efforts of the republican aspirants. There will be fun enough to make the preliminary campaign the busiest and bitterest the country has experienced since the days of Grant and Blaine.

Second Peace Conference

The second international peace con ference to convene at The Hague July Is will be the occasion of the gather ing of the finest lot of hot air artists this world has ever witnessed. The fl It conference was called at the in- stance of Russia, and soon after it had been dissolved, after adopting a lot of peace resolutions, the bloodiest war of modern times was begun, brought on by the aggressions and general cussedness of Russia herself. Let us hope the second conference will not be followed by war equally bloody.
 The truth is wars will last as long as human injustice does. When men are educated up to the point of equal and exact justice to all, wars will cease, and they will not cease a mo- ment sooner. Human ambition and hu- man injustice are still dominant, and 'hey "'h eie"'0 "ais as iohS de they endure.
 A preacher in New York has been severely criticized because he said some wars are just and needful. Whether they are just and needful or otherwise they will continue to occur and the action of peace conferences held in palaces will have no more con trolover them than the wind that blows. What we need in this world is more common schools, not more peace con ferences summoned by bureaucratic autocracy and crammed full of hot air specialists, who stand ready to enjoy their respective junkets.

The Matter of kissinq.

''rhe right of loving couples to kiss In public has been tested recently in the courts of two different states, and the decisions rendered show a great difference in opinion of the judges" remarked a travelling man last night.
 "The decisions rendered were in New York City and Annlston, and in my opln- ion the ruling of the New York court is the only really just one. The Anniston case was that of a couple who were em- bracing and kissing each other on the front porch of the young lady's house when a policeman came along and ar rested them. The judge who heard the case next day fined the young lady S1 for kissing the young man and fined the young man 8 for allowing the young lady to kiss him. But how different was the New York judges decision. A young man in that city was kissing his lady love when policeman happened to spy them. He immediately placed the young man un- der arrest and hauled him before the judge the next day. When the judge learned that the prisoner had been neither drunk nor noisy he ruled that no crime had been committed, as the young lady had not objected to the kissing. I can not imagine of what calibre the police men were that arrested these kissers."

SHOOTING IN SEASON

i tectlng them during their passage. And yet in the interests of game bird and fowl preservation, there should be sporting sentiment decreeing that these migrants should be exempt from attack just prior to their flight, and that dur ing their speedy journey they may seek rest and food for a moment without com ing within range of a murdurous am buscade.
 In my opinion the unwritten law of sportsmanship should be deemed as ob- ligatory upon all members of the shooting brotherhood as any law on the statute books and there should be as determined an effort to enforce obedience to one as to the other.
 I have mentioned sort Of negative dis countenance of violations of laws fixing the seasons for shooting as a duty de- volving on sportsmen; but when said that such withholding of countenancs might be less easy than 1t appeared, had in mind the supposition that such a sit- uation could not fail, in the sense of sportsmanship, to considerably jolt the personal relations of the parties impli- cated. I confess I do not see how thla can be avoided. A genuine sportsman may refrain from noisy quarrel with friend flagrantly guilty Of a violation of game laws-written or unwritten; but how he can absolutely condone and forget ths crime and retain for the criminal the same affection and confidence and reliancs as before is beyond my comprehension. In any event, l am entirely satisfied that such suitability as this is not what is needed for the enforcement of game laws and the preservation of sporting con. stancy. am unalterably opposed to the notion that the sins of the camp should not be remembered in the social swirl of city life. just and conscientious sports man cannot evern there forget that his friend, the life of every gathering and the fountain of table wit, when last in camp, sneaked out at night and shot ducks, and that on a. recent fishing ex- cursion he hired a miserable creature to set night lines
 If game Is to be preserved for those who now enjoy all that is rational and healthful and recreative in outdoor shoot ing, and if those who come after us are to know the pleasures and benefits of manly, considerate sportsmanship, it de. wolves upon the sportsman of today to ten and unwritten laws which recognize the importance and the sober duty of game protection.
