The treasury deficit Is being dimin
ished. In the less than three months
of the current flscsl year there has been
very considerable Increase In the re
ceipts of the government and a slight
decrease In expenditures. Present flg-
UWs In comparison with those of ft cor
responding period ft year ago show a
cutting down of the deficit to the amount
of over $7,000,000, which was quite un
expected. Whether or not this condi
tion will continue throughout the fiscal
year Is a matter of uncertainty, but It
certainly gives promise that the deficit
at the close of the current fiscal year
will bo considerably less than has been
estimated.
This fact however, should not prevent
curtailment of puhjlc expenditures
wherever It can be done without Im
pairing the efficiency of the public serv
ice. Gratifying as Is the growth of rev
enue, evidencing as It does the prosper
ity of the country, it should not be al
lowed to Interfere with such a reduction
In governmental expenditures its can be
wisely and properly made. Mfbat Is
needed is that there shalLbe no deficit,
that the expenses of the government shall
be kept within the receipts. Instead of
running ahead, as has been the case for
some years. Nolwdy desires that the
government should adopt a parsimonious
policy. This Is a rapidly growing coun-
try and the demands upon the public
treasury which must be met are In
creasing from year to year. These can
not be neglected without injury to the
general welfare and the most radical
economist wll not say that they should
be neglected. But unquestionably there
are directions In which a curtailment of
expenditures can be made without In
terference In the least with the public
welfare.
This will be an Important matter for
the determination of the next congress.
If expenditures can be reduced, say to
the extent of $20,000,000, there will be
no necessity for legislation to Increase
the government's revenue. There will
be no need of new Internal taxation and
no necessity for changing the tariff so
as to get more receipts from customs.
We can go along as we are. with the cer
tainty that the government will have
enough money to meet all demands
from current revenue and that there will
be an end to the disagreeable deficit, the
effect of which Is necessarily more or
less disquieting upon the public. It is
very pleasing to note a diminishing defi
cit, but that fact should not lessen the
demand for a reduction In public expen
ditures wherever practicable.

The first official estimate of the world's
wheat supply and demand for the year
has been made by the Hungarian minis
ter of agriculture. It shows that the coun
tries which have to Import wheat have
produced slightly more than last year,
but they will require considerably more
than last year, assuming that their rate
of consumption Is maintained, which
probably will be the case. In regard to
the exporting countries, the Hungarian
estimate places the production largely In
excess of last year, thus allowing for a
considerble surplus even If the demand
of the importing countries shall be as
large as estimated.
The wheat production of the United
States Is placed at a little over 075,000,000
bushels and the surplus at 119,600,000
bushels. In regard to this the New York
Journal of Commerce remarks that there
must be a glaring error, the surplus
given for last year being much In excess
of the actual quantity. It is also apparent
from the latest reports that the Hun
garian estimate of the wheat production
for this year Is much too high, these re
ports, if authentic, showing a very heavy
falling off. According to this estimate
the world's wheat supply for the current
year Is only a few million bushels in ex
cess of last year, which will be more
than offset by the Increased demand. At
all events It seems evident that the sit
uation means that the price of wheat
will at least be malntined and may go
higher. The producers of that grain cer
tainly have no reason to appreh&nd a de
cline In its price.

Whether the name of the next county
Judge Is Leslie or Woodrough, the peo
ple of Douglas county will demand a
radical change In the keop-lt-dark sys
tem that has for years prevailed In the
county court. First and foremost, there
must be change In the method of ac
counting, so thot all obstructions to pub
licity shall be permanently removed.
At present the books of the county
court will not enable anybody to get
an Insight Into the Internal workings
of the office, and especially all mntters
affecting the heirship trust funds. There
must be a stop to the farming out of
widows' and orphans' funds for private
gain. At present, nobody can ascer
tain Just how much heirship money Is
invested or loaned under direction of
the court, where It Is deposited, or what
amount of Interest It Is drawing. When
the settlement with Judge Ylnsonhaler
Is made next January the county com
missioners must enforce a full account
ing for all Interest that hns been col
lected on the various funds that have
been in the hands of the Judge) during
his three terms, .and that money should
be turned over to the parties to whom
It rightfully belongs or to the county
treasury.
Incidentally there should be an ac
counting made of nil the monies held
by the county court In trust for owners
of lands thot have been taken by con
demnation proceedings pending the liti
gation In the courts as to the award.
Within the past six years this fund has
aggregated several hundred thousand
dollars, as we are Informed, but under
the system no Interest has been paid
over to the parties after the final awards
have been made.
When the lid is taken off the sealed
chests of the county court the fact will
be disclosed that rank favoritism has
been extended In the appointment of
guardians and administrators. For ex
ample, the bulk of all the guardianship
business has been done by Charles D.
McDonald, an unimportant lawyer, and
Mr. Grimmel, a stenographer and clerk
In one of our banks. For years we have
not been able to understand why these
parties had become such bitter Ylnson
haler partisans, but we have recently
learned the reason why, yid also the
reason why these same gentlemen want
to help to manage a campaign for the
Ylnsonhaler succession as members of
the republican county committee.
When the lid is finally taken off and
the system Is exposed to full view, peo
ple of Omaha and Douglas county will
have a surprise In store such as they
have not had since the lid was taken off
the city and state treasuries some eight
years ago.

Snperflnoas Advice.
Boston Transcript.
General Corbln's advice to young officers
to lead the simple life will strike many of
them. In view of the present pay tables, as
unnecessary. A second lieutenant often
finds that to make both ends meet at the
close of the year Is so strenuous a process
as to leave him neither funds nor oppor
tunity for any but the simple life wholly
devoid of trimmings.
The good government leiigue Is all
right, providing that Its advice to voters
Is not designed to promote the nomina
tion or election of special favorites under
the guise of promoting better govern
ment. For example, In Its first circular
the Good Government league tattooed
two republican candidates for county
Judge and indirectly endorsed a candi
date who Is not qualified to fill the office,
which Is Just as much aiding bad gov
ernment. It placed the Dennlson brand
on one candidate for sheriff, while his
opponent, who had given aid and com
fort to all the gamblers lu Omnha and
South Omaha when he was sheriff, was
given a clean bill. A strictly Impartial
league would have given the record of
all, so that every voter would know Just
exactly where the spots were and who
bad the biggest spots.
Aa Obvious Consolation.
Chicago Chronicle.
In the midst of his Indignation at the
life Insurance company's contribution to
th republican campaign fund Judge Parker
has one obvious consolation. He knows,
along with everybody else, that If the con
tribution had been made to the democratic
campaign Instead of to the republican and
If It had been WO times as large It would
not have changed the result. Judge Parker
would have been defeated though all the
forces of plutocracy had been on his side.
This, of course, does not affect the ethics
or the propriety of corporate contributions
to partisan enterprises. It Is, however,
a collateral phase of the question which is
pertinent If not vital.

In ft recent speech Secretary Shaw
said that we could not expect to in
crease our trade unless we sent our
American goods in American ships.
Those who are opposed to legislation for
the encouragement of an American mer
chant marine reply to this by saying
that our trade is growing notwithstand
ing the fact that we are dependent upon
foreign ships for the transportation of
our products to markets abroad. That
Is true, but the question Is whether the
growth would not be much more rapid
If we sent these products to foreign mar
kets In ships carrying the American
flag.
That it would be Is the opinion of
those who have given the matter care
ful Investigation, particularly as to
LSouth America. A report made a short
time ago to the Department of State
pointed out that the American flag wus
rarely seen In a South American port,
while British and German ships carry
ing the flags of those countries were
numerous there, with the result that
those countries get most of the trade.
Of course these foreign ships carry
some American goods, but this country
does not get the credit and. prestige
which It would have If Its products were
carried under its own flag. The mer
chants of South America are largely In
duenced by this in their trading, as has
been repeatedly stated by represents
tlves of the southern countries.
The question of building up an Amer
ican merchant marine, which has been
before the country for many years, will

that some definite action will be taken.

OASOI.IMS MOTOR CARS.
Important Revolution In Railroad
Snhnrban Service.
Chicago Tribune.
The Union Pacific railway company has
been making at Omaha some Interesting
experiments with gasoline motor cars
which It proposes to substitute for steam
trains In its suburban service. The results
of the tests have been highly satisfactory.
One of the cars has reached a maximum
speed of fifty-seven miles an hour while
carrying fifty-seven passengers, and It Is
believed as good average time can be made
with them as with steam trains.
The application to railway cars of the
gasoline motor which, as is well known.
Is extensively used In the propelling of
automobiles was first experimented with
and put into practical use about 'a year
ago. The Union Pacific's gasoline motor
car No. 1, which was first put on the rails
last March, was constructed on new lines.
As It gave better satisfaction than any
similar which previously had been tried
all the cars subsequently built by that com
pany have been built according to the same
plans. The gasoline motor used Is similar
to tr ose by which automobiles are driven.
The car tapers at both ends and Is rounded
on the roof like a yacht, so as to reduce the
Wind resistance to minimum. By means
of air brakes the car may be stopped within
112 or 115 feet, when going at twenty mllesJ
an hour. The vibration and noise of the
engine have been almost eliminated and
the exhaust Is so muffled as scarcely to be
perceptible. Tests have shown that the
motor, will not only run a car at high speed,
but that It will pull heavy loads.
The advantages railroads would derive
from the adoption of gasoline motor cars In
their suburban services are considerable.
At the present time they are competing
with the electric lines for suburban busi
ness with doubtful success and generally
giving poor satisfaction to their patrons.
The operation of steam trains costs so much
that during most of the day it does not
pay to run them at frequent Intervals.
But suburban dwellers desire trains at
frequent Intervals. Consequently they
patronise the steam road's rivals, the elec-
ktrlo lines. It has looked as If the railroads
would have to electrify their lines If they
were to hold and Increase their suburban
business. Electrification, however, would
cost a great deal of money. The Introduc
tion of gasoline motor cars, If they were
successful, would enable the railroads to
run cars on their suburban lines as often
as the electric lines. It would, at the same
time, save them the great expense of elec
trifying. They would be advantageous to
the public as well as to the railroads.
They would improve rapid transit facili
ties; enable the railroads' suburban patrons
to ride to and from their homes without
being choked and begrimed with soot and
coal smnke; and would diminish the amount
of smoke which now pollutes the air of
cities. The test of gasoline motor cars
now being made may prove the Introduc
tion to an Important and salutary revolu
tion In railway suburban services.
When that grand Jury gets through In
vestigating the men at the head of de

riety turn its attention to state bank
examiners who vouched for the solidity
of the Institutions up to the verge of

really needed In all the states.

The secret suspicion with which French
men regard each German movement is well
Illustrated by a recent article In a Paris
newspaper, it describes Germany as being

In view of future bargains with France,
and warns Frenchmen to be on their guard
against a possible renewal of the attempt
to secure their adherence to the Baghdad
railway scheme. The real character of that
project is, It says, now better understood
In France, where there Is no longer any
temptation to acoept the offer made to the
Paris Bourse of to per cent of the shares.
The terms of the concession have strength
ened the conviction that the railway would
assure the preponderance of German Inter
ests from the Bosporus to the Persian gulf.
In this matter the Interests of France and
Germany are Identical. The article declares
that "It Is reasonable to suppose that an
attempt on the part of Germany to come to
a separate understanding with France on
this subject would fall as completely as did
the attempt made to disturb the entente.
. In the words of M. Cheradame. to
afford Germany the possibility of complet
ing the railway under Its exclusive control
would be equivalent to giving it absolute
control over Asia Minor and rendering the
kaiser master of the great international
route, extending from Hamburg Jo the Per
sian gulf." In conclusion, the writer re
marks that the German scheme does not
take Russian Interests Into account either,
a circumstance which Franoe will not be

Among the Interesting experiments to be

find out whether It Is possible to attach
large bodies of cyclists aa a highly mobllo
reserve to an army In the field, and to use
them in combination with cavalry and ar
tillery to check or frustrate an enveloping
movement. General Langlobi pointed out
recently that at present only cavalry and
artillery are capable of making such a
movement with the necessary rapidity, and
that their action, unsupported by bayonets,
could not be sufficiently sustained to attain
its object. He argues that the existence of
good roads makes the use of strong cyclist
norpa In European warfare not only pos
sible, but effective, and suggests that each
field army should be provided with a mobile
reserve consisting of 5, MO cyclists, S.0'0
cavalry and thirty guns.

horrified, the pope amused and the king
satisfied. When the kaiser went to Rome

That which was all In all for aye
O Love Is fleeting as your kiss,
0 Love, forever and a day.
To this.
Why such a change In one short yeart
1 can not, can not understand;
O! why to cast upon Love's lller,
Whose name was written In the sand.
This tear.
Why then the fields were red with Way,
When you and I together swore;
Is May so very far away.
Was all so different then, before
Today?
And did the gods above them smile
When we believed that love would mat,
Counting Its heartbeats on the Dial.
Of hours, which have too soon slipped past
The while.
Two honts upon a sea r.f glass;
A little strength; a little trust;
Yet let the hand of Fate hut pass,
Could they withstand the stur.u cloud's
gust,
Alas!
So though not knowing, yet must I
Forget one day and fe-l no more
Tour love, which dreamed not e'er to die
Thank God for that. I close my door.
Goodby.
