RepleniShing the Treasury

The total receipts for this fiscal year
to August u. were $77,500,OO0, as
against s66,509 600 in the correspond
ing time of last year. The gain has
been at the rate of 100000 a month,
and this gain, if continued, would wipe
out deficit as large as last years.
But no one can yet say what the out
come will be, for imports have been
unduly swelled by tariff changes The
treasury situation is not normal, and
months must elapse before the effects
of the new bill and of the improve
ment in general business can be meas
ured. The buying power of the coun-
try is increasing and the outcome may
be better than is now generally antici-
pated.
The total balance in the general fund
on August u was $1O2, GIL 900, but the
real working balance in the treasury
was but s56,O00,O00. This will be con-
siderably reduced before Congress
meets in December. Secretary Mac
Veagh is no doubt endeavoring to post
pone any borrowing of money as long
as possible, but the best judges say he
will be compelled to issue at any rate
short-term 3-per-cent certificates be-
fore Congress meets. He prefers to is
sue certificates rather than to issue
long-term bonds. An issue of some
kind will no doubt become inevitable
before Congress meets in December.

tached to foddering crops and crops
maintaining fertility of soil as defen-
sive measures. A foddering crop, such
as alfalfa, for instance, makes a live
stock system possible. That ultimately
insures fertility while favoring the
conversion Of farm crops into animal
products. An immediate effect of this
would be to increase the proportion of
h ONE grown food supplies in meeting
the demands of the local market. Thus
a whole series of money crops OF a new
order would be added to the list of
things almost. If not quite, as salable
al cotton.
Nothing would add more to the
value of farm land throughout the cot
ton belt than this. Another effect
would always be to force cotton grow
ing from a more extensive to more in
tensive system, by which the present
crop might be grown on 100000 of
acres rather than on 100000 acres,
as is now done. While these things
do not come about in a year, there is
no doubt that systems of farming, on
account of the boil weevil pest. have
been Jared from their old moorings

pending one-half of their total national
income upon military preparations, and
even in the United States, isolated and
safe from aggression, Al per cent OF
the national income is devoted to mill
tary uses. These uses are unproduc-
tive. They are considered safeguards
against war. But limit upon such
expenditures will certainly be reached
after a while in order to avoid a eondi-
ton of bankruptcy. The policy of great
military budgets is in no country more
foolish and ill-advised than it is in the
United States. No country is coming
three thousand miles across a stormy
sea to fight us, and the Roosevelt
world-meddling policy should be aban-
doned. In England and Germany the
case is different. Both desire to con-
troll the sea, AMI the tight little isle is
indeed hard pushed to keep up with
her rival. Unless, indeed, England can
call to her aid her colonies, she will
soon become outclassed in her military
preparations.

tain incongruities. He does not want his
favorite poem with his roast"
OF course. the question naturally sug-
gests itself: If not poem, why music?
The essayist is forced to admit that ap-
parently the majority are not embar-
raised by this combination of joys. More
over it has the sanction of the most
musical of all peoples. who absorb lett
motifs and large sausages without any
failure of zest for either.
But after all the Germans excel in other
arts more conspicuously than In the art
of dining.
The logic of the matter would really
seem to be with the negative. Dinner time
is no time for high spiritual appeal
Nobody but Joseph Sedley would want
much sentiment at meals. The more
beautiful the music the worse for the
business of the hour.
If the music and the dinner are both
good, the artistic man will surely neglect
one or the other. He will close his ears
or he will spill things and forget to
Fletcherize.
The greater sympathy, however, is due
the Post correspondent who wishes to
discuss his dinner with a friend. Surely
we are losing a great deal If there is to
be no more talking at meals. People do
1t better at this time than at any other,
and it is a time of great complacence for
the listener.
The chief trouble with the music pro-
vided in many instances is its obtrusive-
ness, We have been spared the drum as
yet. but 1t may yet come along with
sackbut and stentorphone. Furthermore,
composers have not given attention to
composing meal music. A Chopin noe
turne with the soup is certainly incon-
gruous.
Admitting that there is stage in the
procedure of a dinner where music is well
come. why not provide a music room to
which guests might repair when their ap-
petites led them to seek 1t?
However, 1t is no intention of ours
to propose innovations or sound a note
of protest against anything that glad
dens the sad pleasures of the public.
Eating to music is not logical; but then
neither is football, according to Presi-
dent Eliot.

MUSIC AND MASTICATION

From the Rochester IN. V Post-Express.
II HERE is no question that those
lCD who provide for the public dining
of our people regard this custom
as a popular demand. and thei Judgment
should be sound, for it is measured in
dollars and cents.
No one can question the fact that the
science of cookery has grown with the
progress of the suns, or that this growth
is benehcent one, since it affects all
classes alike. And furthermore, as the
zone of the edible steak has extended
itself through our highways, 1t has incor-
porated within it's sphere much edible
music.
Our hotels have their orchestras, and
many of our restaurants make feature
Of music at meals.
But there have been protests from the
first as to the logic of the proceedings,
and now New York is to some extent talk
ing heed OF them.
Not long ago the New York Post print
ed letter from a disgruntled soul who
bitterly complained that one must belong
to a club in the metropolis If he wished
to dine In quiet with friend or two,
who really enjoy discussing a meal
Now the latest and most expensive Of
New Yorks restaurants, both in equip
ment and menu prices, announces that
there will be music in the palm garden
only. Frank Moore Colby was an early
objector to the practice of eating to
musical accompaniment He. took his
stand for dining as an art, and insisted
on the classification of people into diners
and eaters.
Mr.. Colby stated his position thus: 1.-THE
eater can divide his attention with almost
anything at dinner. He can read, write,
watch dog fight through window, or
foot up his expense account for the week.
II he had nose bag like a truckman's
horse, he would not at meal times lay
down his golf clubs or his pen.
ION the other hand, the far smaller
class of diners have learned by expert
ence or tradition that 1t is an independ-
emit art, and, though they may not prac-
tice 1t productivity, they recognize its ex-
istence and respect its rules. The least
epicurean among them is hurt by GER

IN HOTEL LOBBlES
REGARDING Mr.. Hartman

Should Mr. Hartman die within the
next year or two, before he gets his vast
railroad interests in shape to turn over
10 lleutenants or trustees, there would be
serious furry in Wall street." said an
old citizen. There is no other man IN
the United States, except the President,
whose sudden death would have a more
panicky effect. John D. Roekefeller's de-
mise would have no effect on the finan-
cal world whatever; nor would j. Pier
pont Morgan's. notwithstanding Mr. Nor
gan is Americas most potential inan-
cier. Mr.. Rockefeller has retired from
active business, while the king of finan-
iers has partners who are able and well
known. But in the case of Mr.. Hartman,
he alone has a complete mastery of the
ramifieations of his enormous railroad in
terests and just how he stands He is a
wizard and it is not in the nature of wiz
ards to have partners But Mr.. Harri-
man has shown solicitude recently about
his health and he has been working to
get his house in order. There was a time
when Jay Gould's death would have pre-
eipitated panic, but some time before he
passed away he had arranged his bust
ness so that his son George could han
die it,
Mr.. Hartman looked like a very ill
man when I saw him in Birmingham
last spring, but he is not an old man
and it may be that he will outlive many
of us who are now apparently in good
