' Father Knickerbocker is in a fair way to outstrip Uncle Sam for if the city's expenses continue to increase at their present rate it cannot be long before New York's financial opera tions overtop those of the national government Already the city's an nual statement involves sums far greater than those of many foreign ' countries, and its ever-growing gross funded debt is getting uncomfortably close to the billion dollar mark, threatening in time to exceed, the national debt itself. The last yearly budget calls for $143,000,000-the sum needed just for running the city. The gross funded debt is now $735,000,000 and the contract liabilities $70,000,000. The bonded debt has increased $118, 000,000 in the last two years and no one seems to know what the limit may be. Altogether New York may safely lay claim to the not altogether desirable distinction of being the first and only billion dollar city in the world, where incidentally the tax rate of the average family is about $175. Thus does a single city threaten to ' overshadow financially at least the whole federal government . o J CITIZEN SOLDIERS.

OU.ihoma adoDts Mr. Bryan's ideas as fast as they can be ascertained. It is hardly necessary to add that when the recoil of the blunderbuss comes Oklahoma will decide to "be a good Republican state. Cubans are surprised to hear ot nt fights in Congress, and wonder why it has never occurred to the vvasn ington statesmen that a provisional government would render everything lovely. Next year Cuba will set np for itself again, and there may be a rough house occasiontlly. Last year the people of the United States spent $315,000,000 for elec trical manufactures, yet many men still in active business remember the time when some simple instruments in college laboratories, without prac tical utillity, covered the whole heia of electrical knowledge ine worm is unable to define electricity, but has learned much about what, may done with it. The National Guard Association of the United States has been holding its annual convention at Boston, and had under consideration several subjects of importance to the people of the United States. This organization has been trying for 10 years to bring the National Guard up to the level of the regular force, and progress has been made in some of the states, though far from all that is desirable. In case of war the National Guard would be the first body of soldiery called out At cresent it consists of 107,578 train ed officers and men. The 65,385 regu lars added give a total force for im mediate service of 172,963 disciplined troops. What could be done in the way of volunteers reaches into mil lions, but this resource would not be at once available for the field. Recently, the State of Nevada call ed on the National Government for a body of regulars to enforce the laws of the state. Nevada does not sup port a single company of militia, nor could it furnish one in case of a for eign war. Its neglect of the National Guard has placed it in a humiliating position, but there are other states that are not much better off in militia matters. Massachusetts is a good state in which to hold the National Guard Convention. Its appropriations are regular and liberal. A part of its militia is organized and trained for coast defense. It is careful to see that its citizen soldiers get all that is con tingently offered by the National Government its regiments of na tional guards are generously treated by the public. The example is worthy, but few of the states have reached as high a standard.

How couia tne Governor persuade himself to con test the nomination with a wonderful statesman? Minnesota has a differ ent ooinion of Bryan. Its majority against him in 1896 was 53,875, and in 1900 increased to 77,560. Much of the money spent on the Panama Canal has gone into sanita tion, and successfully. This achieve ment is worth all that it has cost, and more. A Russian naval attache is follow ing the American fleet around the Horn. Maybe he is a nature faker, with an irresistible interest in sea gulls. Twelve years of lecturing at $50,- 000 a year amounts to $600,000.

The Japanese tax for war expenses amounts to more than $60 per capita. Payment of this burden for a few years will have a tendency to discour age the jingoes. Urlcle Sam's sailors are said to have spent $400,00 at Rio in four days. The South Americans wonder what the amount would have been but for the currency famine. Sank Foolishness.
