ITALY'S BUDGET CRISIS.

has brought about q crisis, though it in
wolves merely the resiena ton of the
ministry and not the dissolution Of par
lament More money is needed. chiefly
for public works. The army of employees
on the state railroads must have higher
wages. and. indeed. there is a similar
demand from almost the entire Civil Ser
vice, on the plausible ground that the
cost OF living has greatly increase since
the existing scale OF salaries was fixed.
The government also granted some time
ego large subsidies 10 certain steamship
lines, which make heavy drafts upon lis
purse. The question Of increasing the
revenue has therefore become urgent.

g0R DEEPENING TIE DELAWARE.

IL was an interesting and a potentially
suggestive and profitable coincidence
that the United States steamer Prairie.
on somewhat urgent errand. got badly
stuck on mudbsnk In the lower reaches
- The Delaware River at almost the
very hour when an important repre-
sentative gathering was considering
plans for the Improvement Of that water

trsl part easily and securely naEigable
ny oceangoing steamships. Between
fhe two occurrences there was no con-
rection. and indeed the execution of the
plans OF improvement referred to might
not entirely do away with such mishaps
as that 20 the Prairie. since we are told
that the vessel got aground by straying
far from the channel Nevertheless the
two attract attention 20 the desirability
and the actual need, on various accounts,
az materially improving the Delaware
River for purposes OF navigation.
The enormous mining, manufacturing
and commercial interests which have
their centre and natural outlet az Phila-
delphia bespeak the need Of making that
port abundantly available FOR the largest
ships al all times. While Philadelphia
csn never rival New York, IL could and
should be developed into a greater port
Than Il Is now. But IL is not alone in It's
interest In the Delaware. nor is IL in its
behalf. that the present movement for
Delaware improvement Is undertaken.
The city Of Trenton ranks smong the
great manufacturing centres OF the
United States. and Il Is the seat OF manu-
lectures which especially call for water
transportation. Yet IL is now practically
dependent upon q single railroad sys-
TEN. The belief Of It's business men is
that tie deepening OF the river channel
80 as 20 give II direct access 20 tide
water would be practicable and would
be OF immense advantage % the indus
tries OF the city.
There is still another urgent reason for
imoroving the Delaware as far or nearly
ss far up as Trenton, and that is that
u may be made part OF that system
OF inland coast waterways from New
Enslano 70 the South. perhaps 70 the
Gulf itself, which Is now projected. or

TIE INSURANCE SCANDAL.

1t is to be regretted that the State In
surance Department has not been as efii-
cient for the last three or four years as
il is to-day. If il had been, some OF those
loans by the Phenix Insurance Com
pany OF Brooklyn TO the departments
former employees would have been dis
covered before the statute OF limitations
had run against the transactions. In
that case there might have been an op-
portunity for the borrowers TO explain
under cath in court how il happened
that so many of the important employees
OF the department had secured money
from an insurance company whose presi-
dent was mismanaging its affairs and
making false reports TO the public au-
thorities. The connection between those
sets Of circumstances is interesting and
merits further calculation.
In the absence of proof To the con-
trary it will not be thought that the fail
ure 10 hold an examination into the COM
pany for twenty-five years hid from the
keen vision OF insurance experts at Al
bany the true situation OF thar company.
But nevertheless the state owes it TO the
policyholders in IRE Insurance cold
panies 10 make il impossible that a COM
pany should dc business for twenty-five
years without investigation. 4 maxi
mum period between examinations
should be fixed by law. as it is in the
case OF life insurance companies. and, as
Superintendent Hotchkiss proposes, tina:
period should certainly be not more than
five years. There should be an adequate
staff in the Insurance Department TO
make the supervision Of the fire insur-
ance companies a reality and not a pre-
tence.
