TGF TREASURY OUTLOOK

Secretary NacNeach was quoted last
week I'm the report of an interview at
BOSTON as predicting deficit of S@oooo,-
600 in tho general account of tho Treas
urv for 1010-11. What the Secretary
said was probably misunderstood. for
there are no indications IN the daily
Treasury reports of such m adverse bal
anco ON June 80 next. In the general
account are included ordinary receipts
and disbursements, receipts and dis
bursemcnts for the Panama Canal and
receipts and disbursements in connection
With tho public debt. In 1909 10 the
deficit on these three accounts was So.
$4,000. The deficit due ~ Panama

oyer. and tho deficit duo 10 public debt
redemption was S1375.OOO. But the gov
crnmcnfs ordinary receipts exceeded It's
ordinary expenditures bv S15.SoGOoo.
II is evident that tho Treasury sitUa-
tion has improved materially dufing the
present fiscal year. Ordinary receipts
up 10 March Is. 1911. have been larger

lcrtiCns have fallen off about S1l ,OOO.U00
Internal revenue receipts have increased

disbursements have been cut down by

this year on the Panama Canal, tbc
total TO March -. 1911. being S26.352,-

More recently II has appeared tnere W
1907. in 1877. and in 1899 These lasl
two outbreaks were o( the pnc'lnonic
type. such as now ravagcs Manchur"'
and practically every patient died. In
1899 there were twenty four cases al
Kolobovka. of which twenty-fhrec were
fatal. and there were iifty-nine cases on
two Caspian islands all OF whlch were
fatal. Yet despite the par1cuiar'! '''-
licnant type of the disease ana the par
ticularIv favorable character OF the heid
for it's growth, 1t was confined-tbat Is
70 say. il confined itself-to these few
cases.
The hopeful feature of the situation
to the world at large is that the disease
is now known To be propagated through
vermin and therefore to he feared only
among those people who arc infested
with yermin. Such are the crowded mill
lions of the Indian Empire, of Nanchuria
and Of the volga Valley. Such were the
people Of Europe generally few cen
turies ago. Without the rats and mar
mots and their fleis. the plague can
make no more progress than can yellow
fever or malaria without mosquitoes.
That IS why It's appearance In England
last fall was Of such short duration, ana
why the advent Of several cases at rms
port caused no grave peril TO the city.
Its progress and subsidence where 1t can
prevail are marked with mystery, but
the limits Of its possible prevalence are
well defined. We are witnessing at this
moment a tragedy comparable with the
Black Death itself. and yet the safe
guards Of scientific knowledge make us
substantially secure. All the ravages OF
the bubonic plague in India and of the
pneumonia plague in China and Russia
need not cause us one tithc the concern
that is properly provoked by the flies in
the stables or the mosquitoes In the un-
drained swamps.
