Critics of the new tariff law cannot attack it on the ground of its revenue- producing powers, for since last Au- gust, when the law became operative, the receipts of the government have | increased $50,500,000 more than for the corresponding ten months a year previous. This increase came from the stimulation of import trade effected since the tariff law was enacted. Duties received on imports alone in- | creased $38,000,000; internal revenue | gained $18,000,000, wnile miscellane- ous sources showed a falling off of 1$5,000,000. The ordinary expendi- tures of the government for these ten months have been $2,000,000 less than for the corresponding period a year before. But these jcant as «they are, do not tell as graphic a story as do the com- parative deficits. The deficit for these ten months is $16,700,000, while the total deficit for the preceding year— only two months' greater period—was $69,236,000. This showing is made in spite of the fact that since last July the Treasury department has paid out on the Panama canal account $27,000,- 000, without disposing of any bonds to make up the amount. The last, two months of this fiscal year—May and June—are expected to show snug surpluses. At the end of | June the corporation tax will be due. | The treasury now has to its credit on the year’'s operation more than $10,- 500,000 and the corporation tax is ex- pected to produce nearly $30,000,000, which will close the year, June 30, with a surplus of more than $40,000, 000, not a bad showmng for the first year of the new tariff against which there has been so much political clamor. Of course the supreme court may yet decide against the validity of the corporation tax, in which event the year would still be finished with a good balance on the right side of the ledger.

Augustus Heinze been freed from the ¢harge of misap- plying bank funds than he announced to the public that "I still have some of the best copper properties in the world To, round out his advertise- ment, he might have added, “So, come on, gentlemen, and place your orders." Heinze displays the grit that will down and the pity is that the man’s methods cannot be regarded on the same level with his grit Bat his acquittal after several years of in vestigation and a profonged trial is still not a vindication of what known as ‘“‘high finance,” nor should it be so comfounded by the class of men who have played the game of speculation on the theory that the end Jjustifies the means. Public attention turns directly from Heinze acquitted to Morse convicted. There is, after all, some surprise that the aggressive young millionaire | should have come out so well when Charles W. Morse, the so-called ice king, was convicted on the charge of “‘bank wrecking,”” for which he is serv- ing fifteen years in a federal prison. | Heinze complains bitterly that the de- lay ‘in his trial has cost him $4,000,- 000 or $5,000,000 and ruined his credit. Of the latter there can be lit- tle question, but still he is fortunate. Outside of any moral effect the Heinze verdict may have, it is likely to result in stimulating Mr. Morse's be- lief in his own case and in his right also to freedom and lead his friends to redouble their efforts now for his liberation. is| Party Differences and Agreements. The suggestion that all political parties in Nebraska incorporate into their platforms this year identical planks pledging the initiative and ref- erendum, and other subjects whose partisans represent them to be outside of politics, raises the question how far this duplication should go. If all political parties were com- mitted to the same program there would be no party lines whatever, and government by political parties would practically cease. If voting the re- publiean ticket holds out nothing dif- ferent from voting the democratic ticket, then government becomes sim- ply a question of persons and person- alities, and men rather than principles become the determining factor. But men are human and transitory, while principles are lasting. The principles of the great political par- ties, although applied to changing conditions, are themselves in a measure permanent and make for continuity and stability. of govern- ment. Unless there are party issues elections become simply a scramble for office, and the ordinary citizen who has no special interest in the candidates must be indifferent as to which side wins out. Ours is u government of the people through political parties, and political parties will disagree on the most vital questions because actuated by different ideas of governmental policy. So it may as well be put down now as later that we will have party issues and party disagreements in Nebraska this year as we have had in previous years, snd will have in years to come, and that voters believing in republican principles and republican policies will have good reason to vote the repub- lican ticket in preference to voting the democratic ticket. The unofficial figures sent out from Washington giving the population of St. Louls as less than 700,000 shows how absurd it is to speculate on the census. 1f St. Louis does not show up at least 750,000 it will be surpris- ing, but it will not be if it goes to 800,000.

It is announced that the number of weddings last year was the greatest on record, with the possible excep- tions of 1813 and 1872. Many men rushed into wedded bliss In 1813 in the hope of being able to escape service in the army. The large number of weddings in 1872 was accounted for by the ending of the war with Germany. Many couples had been obliged to postpone getting the prospective grooms returned from war. The new law Is proving particularly effect- ive among the poorer classes and in the cities. It removes the red tape and restric- tions that formerly were burdensome if not prohibitive. on Great Britain's new naval program, as embraced in the estimate for 1910, just Is- sued by the Admiralty, indicates no dis- position to halt in the process of building up a large establishment. An expenditure of over $200000,000 is contemplated, an in- crease of more than $27,800,000 over 1909. This increase is largely accounted for by constructions authorized by Parliament be- fore the late dissolution.
