was TAX RECEIPTS.
The Arkansas Gazette calls at-
tention to the fact that several
weeks ago Washington corres-
pondents of Republican newspa-
pers announced that Mr. McKin-
ley was preparing a message in
which he would urge the reduc-
tion of the war taxes. The mes-
sage has not yet been transmitted
to congress and the war taxes are
piling up in the federal treasury.
The treasury bulletin for March
31 shows receipts for the month
were as follows:
Customs $ii2,090,C81
Internal revenue 24.287 9*)4
Miscellaneous 2,808,192

follows:
Civil and miscellaneous $ 7,C07,000
War 8,329,000
Navy 4,413,000
In lims 909,000
Pensions 11,059,000
mte.est 460,000
Total expenditures ,..$32,107,000
"It will be seen from this state-
ment," says the Chicago Times-
Herald, "that the excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures for
thirty-one days amounted to 816,-
559,837. The total receipts for
the fiscal year to March 31 are
given as 8427,163,762, while the
total expenditures for the same
period wtre 8372,840,611, leaving
an excess of receipts, over ex-
penditures amounting to $54,323,-
150. At this rate the excess of
receipts over expenditures at the
end of the fiscal year would be at
least 8100,000,000. Making due
allowance for diminishing re-
ceipts—a condition that is not
probable—or for increasing ex-
penditures, the excess would cer-
tainly not fall below 890,000,000
if the present stamp taxes are
kept in force. On March 31 the
total available balance outside of
the redemption fund of $150,000, •
000, after deducting all outstand-
ing checks, drafts, disbursing
officers' balances of the national
bank 5 per cent fund was $166,-
475,938. Add to this the $150,-
000,000 gold redemption fund and
the $16,000,000 monthly surplus
for three more months, and there
would be in the treasury on June
30, the end of the fiscal year, a
surplus amounting to over $364,-
000,000. In 1890 congress enact-
ed the McKinley tariff law 'to re-
duce the surplus.' As a result
the receipts form customs duties
were materially decreased. The
present surplus, which is con-
stantly growing, presents the
same dangers as were presented
by the surplus of 1890. It invites
extravagance and jobbery. But
a different remedy must be ap-
plied. Public opinion will de-
mand relief through a reduction
of the stamp taxes that were im-
posed as a war measure. But
this reduction must be made sole-
ly for the benefit of the people,
without reference to the appeals
or arguments of special interest.
The pruning knife must be ap-
plied where the taxes are the most
onerous and where their imosi-
tion create the greatest in conven-
ience. Those' commodities that
come the nearest to being public
necessities must be the first to get
relief, while luxuries must con-
tinue to bear the heavier burden.
No reduction of stamp taxes that
does not honestly oarry out this
principle will be satisfactory to
the people."
Until the end of 1898 Great
Britain was the greatest coal
roducer of all of the countries,
n 1899 the United 8tates passed
Great Britain. In round figures
the ooal output of this oountry in.
1899 was 245,000,000 tons. This
was 50,000,000 tons gain over
1898.

to# rroipects or Longevity.
It is not easy to accept Professoi
Mctehnikoff's theory of the possib-
ility of prolonging human life to a
limit of 250 years nor is it at all
necessary to accept it. But in the
light of the achievements of modern
•cienoe in arresting physical decay
and retarding death it is not tin
reasonable to believe than in select-
ed and favorable cases human be-
ings might succeed in achieving a
longevity far beyond anything ac-
tually known!
Whether this would be a gain tc
the world or of any practical use tc
anybody would depend on the ac
companying conditions. If tht
protracted old age meant physical
weakness and helplessness and men-
tal incapacity, it would be a sorry
boon to the beneficiary and a burd-
en to all around him. But if the
mind could be kept in full vigor,
that would be worth while. The
oxperience gained by age has its
value. Obviously what is wanted u
not so much the preservation of the
body as of the mind. What Pro-
fessor Metchnikoff should do is tc
discover a serum which would ar-
rest mental decay and keep the in-
tellectual activities in full vigor up
to a good old age of, say, 150 yean
or so.

Some Other Party Will.
John J. Ingalls in responding
to a request from the St. Louis
Republic for his opinion on trusts,
says: "The encroachment of
monopolies is now insidiously
destroying competition and op-
portunity in every department of
commercial and industrial activi-
ty. Even the newspapers, usual-
ly so prompt and vigorous to re-
sent injustice and oppression,
submit to the trust which has re-
cently enormously increased the
price of paper almost without a
murmur of protest. With com-
bined effort they could wring the
necks of these malefactors and
throw ther carcasses on the com-
posit heap of Mammon, where
they belong. The trust levies its
blackmail on education and re-
ligion, on the school and the Bi-
ble, on knowledge, literature and
libraries, on free thought and
free press, which are the senti-
nels and guardians of liberty.
Of all the unforgiven crimes of
the money power this is the most
indefensible and infamous. If
the republican party does not
strangle these monsters, it is
certain that some other party
will."
