n1onteona3erv. November H-(Special)- r,he making public of the financial state ment of the state for the fiscal year ei,u- ing September 30 last has haturany started anew a discussion with resaFu eo a deficit in the state treasury. rhere ooes not seem to be any question put thal 'he state is destined to spend more Hlohes this year than it takes in. However, there are very few men who have Kept any track at all of public affairs but eK- pected that just such condition Wouid grow out of the policy of the last session of the legislature.
 Without attempting to deal in statls- tics, which are always somewhat tlre- some. it is worth while to note that the excess of expenditures of the common wealth has gone to what the people Ill the main regarded as necessary Tor tne intellectual upbuilding of the citizenship at this particular time. The increases III appropriations for rural schools for the higher educational institutions and the initial appropriations for new buildings and equipment and a system of county high schools have grown out Of agitation as general as the state is wide and coV- ering a period of from three to five years. In other words, sentiment had been so worked up for a more generous educa- tional proposition that there was little else for the legislature to uo anu AePio sent the will of the people but to pro vide liberally for all classes of school progress.
 Question of Judgment.
 The shortage on the part of the state account may be attributed, therefore, to a question of judgment rather than to q question of bad business methods. Are the increased appropriations for the high CT institutions of learning justified in the light of the demands from all classes of education? is the question that must be answered before it can be determined

FIGHTING OPIUM.

The better element of the Chinese is
working for the determination of the
opium habit, as strenuously as the Pro-
hibitionists OF this country ara laboring
for tho closing OF the saloon. And the
anti-opium movement seems to be maxi
ing good progress, Notwithstanding the
powerful financial interests arrayed
against 1t,
In Shanghai a. number of opium dens
will be closed on the first of July How
they manage things there Is described
IN the North China Daily News. own
ers of dens draw lot to determine who
is to close. Such a drawing occurred re-
Gently owing to an impression among
the Chinese that the European manner
or drawing lots Is untrustworthy. a
drum holding tho lots was taken to the
Town Hall and the lots were drawn in
the same way as Is being done at the
Kianguan and other lotteries for prizes
every month in the Chinese suburbs.
This procedure apparently satisfied the
Chinese opium dlvan proprletors as be-
ing "all straight" Chinese orator
IN which he reminded his hearers that
this scheme for reducing the consump-
tion OF opium not only throughout the
Chinese governed portions of the EN-
pire, but also in the foreign settlements
OF China was ono that emanated from
their Imperial majestes and the gov
eminent; hence those doing business In
opium were really oheying the inn
perial mandates IN reducing opium
smoking divans and shops, The result
of the drawing showed that 1853 opium
establishments, among them many or
tho largest in Shanghai, are TO close
their business by July ! next
That such evils can be very material

was gradual, Man is not helpless be-

for life, children who do not honor
their parents by seeking their advice,

CHEAPER POSTAGE.
New YORK World.

Postmaster General Meyers an
nouncement that an agreement has
been reached with Great Britain for
iwo-cent postage after Oct l Is most
welcome. AS certain Continental pow
ors stil retain three-cent postage on
domestic letters, the new rate will not
soon affect other nations in the postal
treaty class: but sensible relief has
recently been granted by the raising
of the weight unit on foreign letters to
ono ounce and the reduction of the
rate on each ounce after the first to
three cents. The cost of carrying let
tors between England and the United
States is smaller than that of deliver
ing domestic letters in this country.
Tho new rate will prove highly re-
muneratiye. No arrangement with
Grcnt Britain is necessary to secure
for the people OF the United States
cheaper domestic postage and par
cels-post service such as the rest of
the civilized world already enjoys.
