The San Francisco Examiner Is in SPatastes over the defeat of the fund fag bllL Whether the vote In oongreas th other day was the final death of tbis measure or not we do not know, but K Is safe to aay that If California Is to have a railroad operated by the government In her especial interest, there are some other states in this country that propose to have something- U say about ft before the matter goes so far. There Is a strong proba bility, however, that the vindictive mo tive which has Inspired the whole fight against Huntington and his Southern Pacific will react, as such wrong usu ally do, and that before the expiration f twelve months California may wake up to the realisation that she has all the time been playing into old man Huntington's hands, and the funding bill was really the last thing he wanted to see done with the Union Pacific. At a conference recently held m Lon don to promote the revision of the fiscal poJIcy of the United Kingdom on pro tectionist lines, the chairman, Mr. James Lowther. directed attention to be prevalence of the protective Idea m the cotonlea. He said thaf the new prime minister of Canada had distinct ly given an assurance before his elec tron, wbaoh be had repeated since, that nnder no circumstances would he lend himself to any attempt to Interfere wkh the protective tariff. The Canadian general electron had, the said, to all practical Intents definitely settled the policy of Canada, so far as both parties were concerned, as being permanently in the direction of protection. There was now not a colony In Australasia which bad not under consideration practical proposals largely moving In the direction of protection, while others remained firmly attached to the princi ples the meeting had been called to advocate. Nine years ago an Internal revenue tax was' imposed on oleomargarine. . There was no pretense that the tax was Imposed from any necessity of revenue at that time. It was simply done at the demand of the dairymen, because the extended use of oleomargarine threat ened to reduce the price of butter. It was intended to crush out the manufac ture of the new product. But the nine years" experience under the tax shows that the result has not been attained. People prefer good oleomargarine to poor butter. The first official report of the Internal revenue department on this product waeifor 1888, which showed that 32,667,755 pounds were made and sold that year. In 193 it had risen to 65,061.775 pounds about double that of the frrt year under the tax. The tide begin to turn in 1895, when the total product was 53.264.475 pounds. For the fiscal year ended June 30 last, it was only 50.853,000 pounds. There Is but one explanation of this that the Increased production of oleomargarine forced down the price of butter, and that this dimlniHhed consumption of the artificial produc-L The New' York Tribune Is generally a pretty "good guide for the rural Repub lican prtws to follow on national ques tions, and when the Tribune advocates the ratlfUtUion of the new treaty with Great Britain It Is reasonably probable that the t ready la all right. There are, however, two or three reasons why those who are Republicans from convic tion, and who like to exercise the Inde pendence of thought which Is and should be characteristic of the mem bers of that party, would like to see the treaty carefully and deliberately considered by the senate before it Is finally adopted. In the first place. It Is not easy to overcome the traditional deference which most people in this country have always paid to George Washington's warning against entang ling alliances with foreign govern ments; for however much Mr. Olney and other friends of the treaty may deny that construction, the treaty un questionably tends to commit us to an alliance both offensive and defensive with Groat Britain, and when the occa sion arises It Is this Interpretation which will be contended for and per haps ultimately conceded, to it. An other reason why an old fashioned Re publican is apt to shake his head over the treaty is the effect it must have in djvorcing the friendly relations sub sisting so long between this country and Russia; and It does not help to quiet this view of the case, when It is noticed that- some of the men who are most forward In urging what they term the "propriety" ot a "prompt" ratification of this wholly unireoednt. ed and certainly most Important step by our government, are the snme men who a few years ago swore to get even with Russia for a certain demonstra tion once made In New York harbor, and which some historians have claim ed was the only thing which prevented England front taking a stop at that time which .would not have been con ducive to the best interests of this country. For these reasons, aside from the extraordinary character of the treaty generally. It Is to be hoped the subject will receive all the time and attention It can possibly deserve in the senate. THK TRKASl'RY FUlfKKS. The treasury report for December enables us to take a survey of the gov. crnmer.t's finances for the calendar yrar. and for the first twilf of the pros. ent (IiohI year. Such an examination Is of Imi-ortttncc for tht particular reason that it throws light on the problem which congress must solve, by demon stratlng what Is needed hi the way of Increased revenue. Men may differ a. to the method of obtaining this, but they naturally agree as to the necessity of more money In the governmental strong Nix; and the first question to be determined is. how much Increase Is necessary? The December report, on its face, shows a surplus of $600,000; but It Is clear that this has been forced by post poning the payment of every treasury obligation possible. These will be met In January, and add to the deficiency which this month's figures will un doubtedly show. But for the six months of the fiscal year there is a deficit of over $39,000,000. which is more than dou ble the deficit for the first six months of the previous fiscal year, which was over $15,000,000. This Increase Is due both to Increased expenditures and di minished receipts. Taking the calendar year as a whole, we find the treasury condition has been growing worse Instead of better. The deficit for the twelve months of 1S3 is over $50,000,000. of which four-fifths ws accumulated during fhe last half of the yea-. A partial explanation of this Is that the hotly contested prest lentiU campaign paralysed business during the summer months, thus dimin ishing the treasury receipts; and in creased expenditures for the fiscal year beginning on July 1 were a necessity because the cheese-paring appropria tions of the previous congress Ignored many things which had to be mot by the appropriations for this fiscal year. The shoving proves the need of early legislation to relieve the treasury, and emphaslies the wisdom of the determi nation of President-elect McKInley to convene congress In extra session to legislate on revenue matters. I sang of love to many a string. With many a sweet conceit and rhyme. And everywhere and every time Of love, and love, I could but sing, Until my own heart felt the spell. Ah, then, now soon my lips were mute! How silent lay my untouched lute. Since what Love was I knew too well! Mary Ainge DeVere.
