of Gentleman JIM" told him to live
up TO his title of gentility and be for
giving. Corbett smiled, conferred with
Jeffries, who smiled in turn, and half
an hour later there was an excited
whisper of Sullivan at the gates. He
srasped Corbett's hand and then went
over and resumed friendly relations
with JcfTries- There was so much
handshaking that it looked like a
game of ring around-a-rosy. The NOV

MELON KNIFE MAY HAVE
DOUBLE EDGE.

Before proceeding with its melon
cutting. the Washington Gas monopoly
VIII do well TO examine its pairing
knife closely with view Of discovering
whether It isn't a double-edged tool
that Is likely to infict injury upon
those VINO WELD It.
The gas managers are apparently de-
termiucd 10 indulge in another perfer-
nance at melon cutting at the expense
of consumers OF gas-aHd they propose
TO 10 It before Congress has a chance TO
stop them. They had q periloUsIy close
call from Congressional regulation in
the session Just adjourned, and are
understood TO have made up their
minds that unless they put through
their iugglery before next writer they
won't be able TO put 1t through at all
The gas people realize, what every
body else now realizes, that the time
wien Gas affairs ere brought sruarsIy
under the supervision of authority and
administered for the benefit of con-
sumers and with justice to stockholders
Is close at hand in anticipation Of
tLat evil day therefore, II Is proposed
I'D get as much a. possible nov
As TO the doublc-edged tpal: The
Gas Monopoly seems to have over
looked the fact that If it INDUCES in
the meIon-cuttiug now contemplated
It's chances OF getting favorable con
-i6e-ation at the hands Of Congress
viii be wonderfully slim The action
o. the House District Committee ID
voting unanimously for the eurtail-
ment Of stock jugeIery and for reduc-
ton in the price Of gas shows clearly
cle temper OF the House 1t Is prob
ably not assuming too much to predict
that If the gas people ignore the
spirit of the regulation proposed in the
pending Gas measure they VIII, next
yer1. find Congress ready TO 90 great
deal further IN accomplishing gas re
forms.
While 1t Is perhaps possible for the
Gas Monopoly 20 slice up its melon
and pass the juicy pieces around among
the members OF the combine, the
pleasure derived from the feasting Is
apt TO be short-Iived- Here are two
significant facts that the gas people
should not allow their love Of profits
to smother:
First-TEe next House might be
Democratic. and might take II into its
head 20 rip open the very heart OF
Washington gas and find out what
makes it beat.
Secoud-The people of Washington
are so thoroughly aroused Ove- the eX-
tortion which has been praeticed upon
them iu the past tEas a Suggest on Tor
municipal ownership of the gas prop
critics would be enthusiastically re
ceiyed.
It Is quite common especially At this
season Of the year, to find that over
indulgence IN melon causes the in
dulger subsequent pain Of exerueiating

TREASURY CLOSES FISCAL
YEAR IN GOOD CONDITION.

The end Of the fiscal year finds the
Treasury in comparatively good con
dition- When Secretary OF the Treas
uTy MEcVeagh sent to Congress last
December his first annual report. he
predicted a large deficit at the close
OF the year For various reasons. this
Ceticit has not materialized. On orli-
nary receipts and expenditures, It Is
found the Treasury has come out
about even It IS true, IL the Panama
canal expenditures are taken into
consideration, the deficit IS large. but
according 10 the Treasury system OF
bookkeeping the canal expenditures
must be considered apart from ordi-
nary expenditures. Doubtless this dif-
fereutig ion Is more technical than
real, but, granting that 1t should be
made, the Treasury showing Is, on the
whole, encouraging.
Customs and internal revenue re-
ceipts have been heavy, owing to the
revival OF business The customs re-
ceiPts for the fiscal year Just closing
amount TO about a third Of a billion
and rank up with the best record Of
previous years. The corporation tax
has brought IN considerable revenue.
The real cause of the good showing
made by the Treasury, however. Is not
the large receipts, but the fact that
expenditures on ordinary account have
been kept well in hand and have not
been as heavy Is anticipated.
The w:ping out OF the deficit on ac-
count of ordinary receipts and ezpen-
ditures, however, would De a source
for more feIicitation II the working
balance and the balance IN the general
fund were not at 50 low an ebb A
glance at these shows that both are
at an unusually low figure. An issue
of bonds or, more probably, certificates
of Indebtedness, to repleuish them, at
10 distant date Is quite likely to be
come necessary As a matter OF fact.
Secretary NacVeagh deserves com
mendation for having deferred any such
issue as long as he has
