When Alton b. Parker was running
for the Presidency he got himself into
trouble by making criticisms on the state
of the finances which showed on their
face that he had never had even speak
ing acquaintance with that most valu-
able publication. the daily Treasury
statement He actually reproached the
Treasury for not Issuing a daily bulletin
Of information. The Hon. Oscar ". Tn
Cerwood, chairman of the House Ways
ard Means Committee, is little better
off than Judge Parker was. for in his
speech in the lower branch Of Congress
last Wednesday opening the debate OF
the wool and woollenS tariff bill he
proved that. although he was able to
recognize the Treasury statement when
he saw II. he had never mastered the art
Of rising IL Understandings. The Ala
bama statesman prudently withheld his
speech for revision. and il may appear
later in THE Congressional Record,
considerably revised; hut press re
ports Of what he said leave no doubt
that he was laboring under a misap-
prchension as 70 the condition Of the
Treasury little short Of grotesque on
the part OF chairman Of n House com
mittee charged with originating revenue
legislation. Dispatches summs riZing
Wednesdays debate said:
Taking up the Treasury statement,
Chairman Underwood made the claim
that the ordinary receipts Of the present
fiscal year viii fan short of the ord-
nary disbursements by $40. cocoon He
based this statement on an estimate Of
the Treasury Department that the reve-
nues of this year would be only 500
900 900. while the receipts Of last year
were 1913 100000
Mr.. Underwood was all right when he
read from the historical table Of receipts
and disbursements for past years-on
pGge . Of the statement-that the ordi-
nary receipts for 19r910 were S615.-
Np.sG But when he passed back 10

the current fiscal year he apparently
mistook the aggregate of ordinary re-
ceipts for the year up 10 June (which
was stated to be $685. COG GD-for

entire year Thus he was led into fig
uring out AN imaginary deficit Of 500
100000 for the current year. But the
Treasury will probably receive between
June 3 and July at least S70,Oo0O0o.
The amount taken in last year between
June . and July was little more than

THE POLO VICTORY

Great praise is due to Harry Payne
Whitney and his men of Meadow Brook
who 10y winning the second game of the
series at Hampstead Yesterday saved the
international polo cup to this country
great honor was won by England's chal-
longing PLAYERS. who made such brave,
plucky and withal sportsmanlike fight 10
regain the trophy lost 10 the same Amer
lean team in England two years ago.
Polo is game confined. unfortunately
10 the few because of its Costumes. b>f
polo has made many new friends
through the matches brought 10 con
clusion Yesterday and a stimulus has
been lent TO the sport which is sure 10
make for good. The American team
made up of Harry Payne Whitney. Dey-
ereuX Nilburn. Lawrence Waterbury
anG i. NJ Waterbury stands to-day no
doubt rs the best in the world. II IS
worthy Of comment that England has
now been beaten i'm two international
matches at what has come TO he consid-
cred It's own game.
The FngishInen proved 10 De Suci
worthy and stubborn foes that the
matches on the field at Meadow Brook
should teach n lesson OF good effect in
future struggles for the cup. The chal-
longing PLAYERS were moderated. They
were Judged hastily by their play in
practice. and overconidence might well
have cost America the cup. That it did
not was due largely TO 2 sudden awaken
ing. which came in time to hiring about
a hard won hut conclusive victory.

The Florida Legislature passed a law
at its last session rearraneing the boun-
dsries of the Congress districts and in
creasing their number from three to
four. in spite Of the fact that Congress
has as yet passed no law assigning Flor
ida four Representatives The Legislat-
IRE assumed that the apportionment bill
now pending in the United States Sen
ate would pass that body in the form In
which il passed the House Of Represent
atives. But that is a strange basis on
which to make laws. What is Florida
going to do in 1919 If the present Con
gress fails to make a reapportionment?
