Something to Be Proud of. A1AHGK surulug In the treas ury Is tin embarrassment to any ntlmlnlatiatlon, since Us Invariable effect Is to begot ii spirit of recklessness In making up-p.-oprlatlor.K. The old saying la true that money which comes easily goes (.as-lly and this Is especially true oC public money, the raising of which by taxation Is not eonsolously'a, burden on the people. It hub been true for some months that the Federal government did not need all the Income which has been pouting so lavishly into the na tional treasury. Its accumulation there, in excess of cut rent needs, not only invited careless expenditure but with rcgaid to the sums not npproptiated had the effect of locking up money which should be In active circulation. At the same time, It is open to grave doubt if the house leaders have not applied the remedy too vlgotously. They have at one stroke cut off $"", 000,000 of revenue, enough In itself to um :x number of the smaller govern ments of Europe; And while it is true that public opinion lias been mildly favoruble to a moderate reduction, it cannot truthfully be argued that there has lieui any insistent public sentiment in favor of a wholesale reduction. As the mutter now stands, on the basis of the house's action, If an emergency should suddenly precipitate itself there would not be money enough to meet It and some of the revenue now pro posed to be abandoned would have to b; icF'tored. Nothing of this character is expected, but it is tho policy of statesmanship to be prepared for all contingencies. Tho American people, however, have good reason to congratulate themselves that tho problem before their law makers is not how to levy new taxes but hew to reduce old ones. There is no other country In the world today; there have been precious few in its entile history, of which this can be said. All Europe is groaning under heavy tax burdens and glowing de ficits.. Tho United States, with a cost ly war not four years past and with the cosl of an uriny In the Philippines still on Its hands is puzzled, not how (u pay its bills, but how to get rid of the niKi;y it has left nttn- all current Itlls aio paid and all payments made on funded debts that can be made to ativanlr.gi at this time. Whether It be wife to thtow away so much revenue in, one lump may l'aiily be debated; but the ii.ct tliut it can bo done without erili.iirafc.-inent and that It is proposed and ecu-led through tho revenue-Initialing branch of congress without prod ding 1'ioni the taxpaylug public cer tainly .speaks volumes for Republican aiinilnihtratlou. It will not be the fault of the news ptipi.!h if Prince Henry shall not win mchriiIMoii on t)ils side as a jolly good fellow. Does a College Education Pay ? A CHICAGO business man, Mr, 11. T. Crane, being sceptical us to the bunellts of a college or academic education In prepbi'Ing a. young man for a eoinmer clal pursuit, recently undertook to col-l"i-t some data bearing on this subject, First he Invited tho presidents of our lending colleges to present what they had in the way of evidence. Only a few u plied. None had any tiling more than personal opinion to offer. Xone had ever -attempted to keep a rocoul nhmviiiB what Hjjecess tho graduates l.ca aUdn'Kl iii.eompet!tioii with non gniduatcstXonu 'iqi'oV'of mich a rccoid. Kneh, however, believed that a coHpeIiUo training helped to qualify a soundman for a buslncs career and all npjrejd thatjt broadened his out look fcjpptt jTfe"inci&n8cd his capacity for deriving pleasure out of his sur roundings and sharpened the natural capability of his mind. Mr. Crane next wrote tu nearly icoo college graduates asking how they had fuied since leaving- their alma mater, 0;ily tSJ replies came from graduates wjiftijjjtd. entered a commercial career, FiqyVaia 'that their college training liadnelpeiT them to movo along In bus5nps life. Seven found Jt a handi cap, QM'jie 63, B0 said that If they had thelrdlves to live over they would take a college course, for, regardless of the fluaheldl bearing of such a course, they hajifljutfdjt la other ways advantage ous'. JnnIl' the replies of the college n!n this strain appeured, proving con . cHKfively ;that there Is something In tjyJ,,collego work or life which appeals fiddly to memory uf ter It Is ended. vi'ho next batch of letters went to lurse employers of labor and had for ll:rurpofn to find out how the cpllege grii'duato eompures with tho non-grud. uatfi In Becurlng and hojding employ, win. One hundcrd busl'nes men rait rogrt presidents, heads of great manu facturing industiles, managers of lin- ntenso commercial eiilerptlses worn nuked to loll how many college men I hey employed, what proportion tho collegians bore to others, iumMlic y coni Dared for ineiitat aulckncss, character mul tiblllty to advance, and especially whc-llior they (the employers) regarded the time ppent In going through a college colli so as advantageously spent by a young man wishing to make every minute count. The replies ate highly Ii-.U-rcntlng, Nearly every employer ppoIm kindly of tho college graduate mid mild ho as a rule advanced rapidly when once he got a good hold, but vry few employed college graduates In any number or nuule any effort to Secure graduates In place of young men educated In tho business "from the bot tom up." Jlr. Crape's conclusion Is tliut the college education, however desirable from the standpoint of a man wliols going Into a learned profession, or however useful as a foundation for special acquirements of a learned char acter. Is a positive detriment to u young man whose aim Is to engage In trade. His Idea is that it wantcs valu able time, fills tho head full of notions that have to be unloaded as soon as the college Is left behind, and gives a fatal advantage of the rival who starts early in tho business and learns Its practical lessons while the collego man It bothering with Greek verbs. Wo do not ngroe with these conclusions, but they aie ot sulliclelit Interest to deserve notice. Jlr. Crane has put his data and conclusions In a neat pamphlet, which hr- will no doubt bo glad to send to nil who arc interested in the subject. The political blizzards vied with the elements yesterday at some of the vot ing places. Braced Up. ACCORDING- to trustworthy advises a coiiildoruble change has taken place ut Washing ton in the attitude of lead ing J republicans with regard to tho Philippines. Two months ago there was uncertainty and apprehension among them. They felt that tho prob lem of administering the affairs of the archipelago was likely to prove more dinicult than any of them had at first anticipated. They felt that as Its dim cult les came to bo understood by the people generally and us the expense of maintaining for a long time a large foice of soldiers came to be appieciuted there was likely to be a strong leactlon of public opinion against holding the Philippines and a corresponding dan ger tn Republican supremacy. It was at this lime that the Demo cratic leaders in the senute thought it expedient to take up the Philippine Issue and make It the central feature of the senate debates. They held n caucus and decided to make it a car dinal principle of Democratic doctrine that the archipelago should be aban doned by the American government as soon as u republican form of gov ernment could be set up umong the natives and started going. In other words, another Cuba was proposed, with the dilTeienco that it would not be near at hand, where we could give watchful oversight over it, but on the far side of the globe, among the ten tacles of covetous foreign powers, which would bo likely to make short work of its identity. Then Judge Tuft came homo and be gan the series of statements which have been very imperfectly reported in the newspapers. His manifest candor, his perfect willingness to respond to inquiries in any direction his evident sincerity and, most of all, the impres sion ot thorough knowledge which lie made upon the senators who composed the Investigating committee wrought a transformation in the spinal colmns of the Republican doubtful ones. They 'have since braced up. There is no more talk of wishing the country out of its Philippine tioubles. There Is no more swearing under tho breath at the dumb luck which thrust this burden upon us. On the contrary, the Repub lican leaders have compared notes, gone over the requirements of the situation In the light of Judge Tart's testimony nnd made up their minds that the thing to do Is to do their best and not to borrow trouble. Judge Taft says the worst Is over. Ho says that already a clear majority of the native inhabit ants sincerely wish for permanent American sovereignty on a basis of peace, free schools and efficient pro tection, He refutes every one of the dire piophccles of evil with which the "antls" have been alarming the timid, and makes it plain that while theie is much to bo done nnd not all roses along the way, It will do absolutely no good whatever to magnify lh difficul ties nnd underrate our own poweis. Thus one man has put strength and backbone into ten thousand, and per haps literally saved tho Republican party from what might have been a grievous and shameful mistake. All honor to William II. Taft! Vaccination is worth Its cost for the wony It paves. A Lesson for the Put tire, IN A CERTAIN sense, of coin-be, no good comes through fighting over the Imtllfs of tho nasi. Rut in the matter of tho diplomatic pre liminaries to our war with Spain It Is advisable that the publlo should have full Information, because, imllko tho Inhabitants of some countilos, the Amerlcun people have a good deal to do with shaping their own future, and they have a right to shape It Intelli gently. It has been asseited mid, so far us wo know, never denied that during dram's administration u coalition of foreign powors uruvented tho United States from Interfering for tho relief of Cuba. It Is cleur that during the spilug of 1893 a number of tho forelRii repre sentatives ut Washington, notably tho British ambassador, felt that they should Interfere In the affairs of this continent and in a senso lay down the bounds of our action, It Is plain in our reading of their correspondence, so far us It has seen the light of day, that this foreign itch to Intcrmeddlo with a peculiaily American concern was uouto; and It Is contrary to human nuturo to suppose that it will not reappear. It has been said that la diplomacy Americans aro prone to bo blunt, but Iho documents bearing on tills epoch In J our iialloiiitl cnicer seem to our mind to bo ohnrnelctlsiod by tilt exceedingly dellcato regard for the niceties of cotn nninlcatlon. If there wnn a hand nf stool It was ccitalnly encased In sev oral folds of velvet. One cannot hcln wondering how these fussy foreign btisybodles would have relished a blast ot drover Cleveland ihctorlu ot the pattern of IiIh Venezuelan litnssime. Clearly it was what some of them de served! and they can thank lliclr lucky stars that the man then In tho while house was n conciliatory and kind hearted man, who was temperament ally averse to giving pain. Ho far as the fututo may profit from the past 11 seems to us that tho lesson of these ante-bellum dlsclosutes, Inter preted In the light of the present ex ceptional eagerness of the powers to profess undying friendship, Is that the United States Is big enough to go Its own way without needing assistance front any foreign quarter. This does not mean that foreign good will should bo unprized; but it does mean that the next time a bunch of foreign ambassa dors tries to Indicate lo an American president what he shall and what ho shall not do he should politely call an usher and show, tho intcrmeddlers to tho door. The action of tho House the other day in passing a bill by unanimous vote without debute -shows tliut there Is hope even for Mr. Wheeler. Ilx-Prcsldent Cleveland has again demonstrated that the fiercest tempest cannot wholly obscure the sights on tho barrel of a duck gun.
