NEED MORE CASH.

| 4 Rond Issue Is Staring the Govern
 meat i'm the Face.
 Washington Special to New Orleans
 Picayune.
 A bond issue is staring Congress in the face, unless Mir. Aldrich can de- monstrate in way not now considered possible that his substitute for the Payne bill will produce sufficient rev. enues to meet the governmental needs. The situation Is particularly gloomy because the plan of effecting large economies in governmental expendi- lures seems doomed to failure. The problem of revenue and retrenchments is being carefully studied both at the Capitol and in the departments. At the Capitol former Senator Hemingway is working on this question for the Committee on Appropriations: at the other end of the avenue President Taft has committee of his Cabinet investi- gating the question.
 Large results are promised, and also from the formation by the Senate re- gently of 6 new Committee on Public Expenditures, of which. by the way, nothing has been heard since 1t was appointed early in the special session.
 1t Is expected that when Senator Ald- rich makes his statement to the Sem ate on the Aldrich tariff bill he will have figures to present as to how much of a saving can be made in the Gov ernment expenditures, It Is said these will run up to about $70.o00.00o. The situation with respect to expenditures, however, is such that 1t is going to be neeful to do an enormous amount of looping off to prevent the outlay from rising higher. It will require a great amount of restraint to prevent the next regular session of Congress from appropriating more money than the last session did. If the next regular ses- sion succeeds in holding down the ex- penditures to the level reached by the last session, 1t will have accomplished e great deal. This is a fact which is generally lost sight of in considering the revenue question and the tariH leg islation.
 Congress at the regular session will be urged to appropriate for a naval Increase. The public sentiment of the country- demands great navy, and 1t Is costing more and more to maintain this navy. At least one and probably two new Dreadnoughts will be demand ed, and it was pointed out in the de- bate on on the naval bil1 on the Senate floor and not disputed that the navy appropriation a year hence would be much greater than the bill passed last winter. That the navy bill will run up to $160,0o0,OO0 or $160.000,000 next winter is believed in many quarters. The army bill passed by. the last ses- sion of Congress amounted to over $101,- 100000. 5i Considering the constant effort to enlarge the army and branch out in new directions in military ex- penditures any reduction of this is highly improbable. Other subjects of legislation which win call for large ex- penditures are pensions. public build ings and rivers and harbors. To meet the growing needs of the Government it is imperative, therefore. that some other means of raising revenues be tried, or an issue of bonds cannot be avoided.

A MdffhesO Maury Memorial
B Fssd.s;e J. H..Lia.

toms" His dream of f1s dvancement of the American shipping industry Id one of the few that failed- When inc Atlantic fleet recently circisd the rlobs ft made the humfiiating report that only three or four merchant vesseIs were met flying the United states fiae, and that all the American goods they came in contact with had been shipped in foreign bottoms.
 There was no Naval Academy when Maury received his midshipman's ap- pofutment. and certain letters he wrote for the press led to the establishment of the Academy at Annapolis Eng mall route. Maury, sounding. study ine, comparing. announced that be- tween New Foundland and Ireland lay . great telegraphic plateau on which q cable could De laid How did he know the cable would lie there undfs- turbed by wind and wavs7 Because all along this elevated floor of the sea, he fly that had they been expised to air they would have dried and blown away. If the shell could lie there, so could the wire. Now London is only . few minutes from Washington.
 It was Maury who showed the ad- over that of Tehauntepec; who made tho great beginning for the present work of the Naval Observatory and weather Bureau; who called repre- sentatives of all nations of the world to meet in Brussels and devised uni- form system of meteorological observe ation by land and sea: who re-intro- use of electric wires in exploding them: who urged the building of two railways to the Pacific coast; who urged the cutting of ship canal from the Great Lakes to the Mfssissippi; and who first suggestedthat steam be ap- piled to the war vessels of the nation. Maury looked down the years end saw bigger ships with bigger and fewer guns. He predicted the day when only six guns instead of i2o would be car. ried aboard the model battleship.
 Russia and England offered homes to this pathfinder of the seas when the civil war come on. He cast his fortunes with Emperor Maximiiiian of Mexico. until that imperial dream failed. or ders of knfghthood were bestowed on him by Russia. Denmark. Portugal. Belgium and France: medals were giv- en him by Prussia, Austria, Sweden Holland. Sardinia. Bremen and France. A duplicate of the great Cosmos medal of won Humboldt was struck for him. and the Pope isued orders that vessels following his charts should be signal ly honored by certain flags af the mast head. f

Women in Unusual Occupations.

New YOrk world.
 A Connecticut constable ingestigat- ing a reported act of cruelty by a father In compelling his daughter to break stone on a highway he was con- structing found that the young wo- man liked the work and was disposed to thrash any one who interfered with it. Unless cose can be made out against her for wearing male at- tire there Is no reason why the young woman should not continue her con genial occupation without fear of further attempts at government reg ulation.
 The sight of woman performing the heavier kinds of labor once deem ed At only for men is still sufficiently novel Yet the census returns show that nearly 25;000 women are employ cal as workers in iron and steel. Wo- men find employment as blacksmiths brickmakers. wood choppers, stove makers ond porters.
 Sentiment may deprecate their in- crease of numbers in industries re- ouirink strength and endurance. But where they possess the requisite phys. ique and are under no illusions as to degrees of responsibility In labor it Is not apparent why they should not engage in masculine occupations aI freely as they like, They may even develop a pride in their efncienoy. as instancJ by the boast of the Connecti- cut young woman in question that shG can beat any man breaking stone

Wheat.

New York world.
 The rise in the price of wheat since 1895 led Sir William Croolxes so early in 1899 to announce in "The Wheat Problem the theory that the world Is facing a wheat famine through the growth of population and the exhaust ion of available wheat lands. Whether or not this gloomy view was justified J. J. Hill Is right in scoring the folly of farmers who exhaust their soil so that 1t produces but thirteen bushels to the acre when 1t should yield twenty five or more.
 Before the Crookes prophecy comes true some things must happen. The American crop of 1905-6-7 exceeded that of the corresponding three yenra in the previous decade by 500, 900, 900 bushels vast-new wheat area Is be- ing developed in Canada. Argentina and other far corners are more busily sought for wheat than for gold. Per- manently higher prices for wheat would set farmers raising it once more in our Eastern States: and the poorer residents of Europe would reduce de- mand by no longer buying 1t.
 High wheat is a calamity. like earthauake and pestilenee. Its contin- uance is made impossible by the pov-. erty of hungry Europe. Of food in some equivalent form the earth is ready to produce manyfold its present yield iS nroperly treated.

The New Haven Register ,propounds . rnomentous question; not one upon which the fate of.nations depends. but one of some importance up there. we judge. The question is this: Is roll ler-skate a vehicle or an overshoe! The reason for the question is a prac- ticai one. If the roiier-skate Is g vehicle 1t has no right on the Sside- walks. if 1t is an overshoe 1t cannot be barred. It seems that the skaters not only annoy the pedestrians, but the hard steel skates injure the side- walks; hence the desire to designate them properly. New Haven is up against it. VIE

If the opening speech of Senator Nelson F, Aldrich is r. sample of what the Republicans are going to produce in the tarifr debate in the Senate. it is their evident purpose to befog the Democrats with figures and lead them away from the right into a mystic maze of statistics.

The Hartford Courant saws: eff the jury system Is ever brought into dis repute and popular disfavor it will be by just such spectacles as this San Francisco one-ninety-one days used up. 2.410 citizens put to inconvenience, in getting twelve men into the box to try Mir. P. Calhoun, millionaire. Around the scandalous delay in this case clus- ter other and ugly soandals-among them the alleged bribing of trusted employees to betray the secrets of the District Attorneys offlce.

 The Pittsburg Post says: Tt is all very well for trained athletes, adults of sinewy frame and strong heart and wind, to compete in long-distance run ning. It Is quite another thing for young lads. immature youths of 15 and I6 years or less. slight of frame and undeveloped as to heart. lungs and other organs, to attempt to cover the Marathon distance, or even a compara- lively small fraction of 1t. in record time. Neither is 1t wise for men who have gotten beyond the stage of daily exercise, whose birth is double what 1t was fifteen years ago, and whose hab- It's are wholly sedentary, to jump bold ly into foot racing. There are certain limitations beyond which one muaI not go. unless one expects a rebellion on the part of nature"
 The New York Evening Post says: Some of the Presidents ideas respect ing diplomatic appointments as ex. plained In Washington dispatches, are excellent; but some give us pause. Mir. Taft is not looking for rich men as such. He would prefer in an Ambassa- dor a long head over a long purse |. Nor does the President intend to be in haste about dealing out the diplo- matic offices. He would also like to relieve those now filling them accepta- bIy from the haunting fear that their heads may be any day cut off All this Is well but the disquiet begins when we hear about obligations in- herited from the last administration, and debts to politicians, and also when we consider some of the appoint ments already made or offered. These do not sem to argue that the Presi- dent is exercising as great care and independence in selecting diplomats as he did in choosing his cabinet, or as he has annouced that he will fin nomin- ating judges"
