Drift of Comment

The prolonged lull in Russia s
political struggle naturally has not
made possible the repair of damag-
es caused by the wars in Asia and
at home, nor has it apparently suf-
feed to accomplish such f:nan-
cial reorganization OF the fiscal
system to provide for the normal,
to say nothing of the extraordinary
expenses. In consequence the def
cit which is coming to be consid-
cred normal is frankly admitted
by the makers of the 1907 budget,
and this deficit amounts TO $780,
