"suRpLus' NOT A SURPLUS
Truth About the Money With Which
Il 10 Claimed the Treasury 10
Overlooking.

The surplus which the treasury Is
showing at the close Of the fiscal year
Is evidently affected by the sale Of $780,.
100000 OF Panama bonds. At the
time the bonds were issued the treas
ury had surplus for the fiscal year
Of about s11.000.00 against deficit
last year OF the same amount. This
seemed to make the present situation
$22.0O0O00 or $23.000,OO0 better than
year ago But the treasury has
been making special efforts to get IN
the corporation tax. and has got In
eight or ten millions more before July
| than it got in last year at the same
time. but OF course whatever amount
was collected before July l cannot be
collected afterward: the process OF an.
ticipating receipts is similar to that OF
deferring payments by means OF which
a favorable showing at the end OF the
fiscal year has frequently been 80.
cured This administration has
stopped issuing the monthly state
ments of receipts and expenditures
which had been published for many
years. and it has introduced a distinc-
ton between ordinary and ex-
traordinary receipts and expenses
which is purely arbitrary and serves
to facilitate favorable showings for
the ordinary" receipts and expendi-
lures. In the past year the increased
internal revenue about Offset the de-
creased customs, and there was q
gain of about 100000 in miscellane-
Gus receipts.

He is the meat man IN a street
grocery Besides being handy at trim

he is also an adept with carpenters
tools. About year ago he decided
to build kitchen cabinet for his wife.
He chose the basement as the place
of construction. ordered lot of lum-
Der and other accessories and went to
work.
The only time he had to give to the
kitchen cabinet cause was on Sunday.
as he had to work early and late dur.
ing the week. He closed all basement
windows tightly in order to muftle all
the noise he made with saws and ham
mers. He even had set OF signals
arranged with his wife that she was
to stamp on the floor when the min
lister or some pious friend was pass
ing. Sunday after Sunday he toiled
away on the kitchen cabinet, picturing
in his mind how pretty and how use
full 1t would be In the kitchen.
Finally the cabinet was finished and
the builder asked two or three Of
the boys at the store to drop over on
Sunday morning and help him carry
1t upstairs. The boys. anxious to see
the product of so many days OF toll.
accepted the invitation and went over.

HOW TO BRoIL A STEAK
White Hot coalo Are Necessary and
Frequent Turn Is Essential
to Success.

The first requisite to the palata-
bility of beefsteak Is the choice of
the steak itself. A good steak Is the
exception. not the rule. 1t should be
from the proper animal which has
been killed and hung for proper
time.
A steak should be broiled over
white-hot Goals. by placing the broil-
or close to the Goals and turning fire.
Quently. The intense heat sears the
surface Of the steak and drives the
juices back into 1t. instead OF allow
ing them to escape and dry up. The
surface Of the meat becomes brown
ed or caramelized. producing the de-
lightful aromatic odor and delicious
favor. The cooking should cease
while the blood will still follow the
knife"
A steak should never be sailed un-
til after 1t is cooked. since the salt,
by reason Of it's affinity for water.
draws the juices from the meat to
effect its solution.
Always serve steak piping hot.
for cooling destroys its flavor. which
cannot be restored by relocating. Att
er being cooked. steak cannot even
be kept hot for long without great
injury.

Tariff and Privilege.

Senator Borah in his speech against
Canadian reciprocity declared that he
objected to the attempt to settle the
trust question at the custom houses"
which leads the Indianapolis News to
retort:
No man can help much In the fight
against privilege who does not see
that our present tarih-made as it
was by the trusts-is a nest OF privi-
iege. II that is so. we think the at
tempt to settle the trust question at
the custom houses will nightly
please the people. For the demand
now is that congress shall impose
duties. not as the representative OF
the trusts. but as the representative
of the people. No people can be self
governing unless 1t Is self-taxing. And
no people can be self-taxing which per.

Put Blame on the System.

Secretary Of the Treasury MacVeagh
has sound reasons for fixing fines
upon smugglers and other violators Of
the customs laws instead of imprison-
ment. He does not thing that impris-
onment Is the better way to recover
the losses OF money in frauds on the
revenues, or to punish those who COM
NIT them Another and more humane
reason is that the tariff system. with
It's exorbitant duties. offers such great
temptations to violate 1t that offenders

the tariff is reformed these tempta-
lions will cease and with them there
will be an end OF the numerous prose-
cutions for smuggling and fraudulent
valuations OF imports that now occupy

why should the department have re-
