A JOG TO JoIN Bulls MEMoRY.--
The New York Times has letter fran
Mr. Chas. Phillips, reminding the public
that during the Canadian rebellion, in 1857
scores of American citizens were thrown
into prison at Toronto, Montreal, and
along the frontier, and many OF them
without the slightest suspicion Of having
been in any way connected with the rebel
Ion. Mr.. Phillips himself was thus ar
rested, and was confined for sixteen days
in Toronto, when he had not expressed,
either by wo or deed, the slightest posi-
bic sympathy with the rebel { use. Eng
land then acted upon the law Of selfde-
fence, and neither hdbeas corpus, treaties,
laws, nor anything else, wcrc permitted
to stand in the way OF whatsoever was
essential to her own safety. She must

THE ENORMOUS ARMAMENTs or Eu-
RopE.--Some correct statistics have been
collected respecting the number Of men
employed in the armies Of Europe, and it
Is realty almost enough to make one de-
epair Of the progress OF mankind to find
that something like 100000 OF men, At
the lowest computation, are under arms.
Here is lis: Army Of Austria. 1884; ;
Prussia, 1902; Russia, $50, 900; Frame
G2G,000; Great Britain and India. 534.-
o27 Denmark, Sweden, Spain. Portugal,
and Italy, 303497 total, 3,77l.8G0. The
cost of maintaining. clothing, and paying
these men, ~ tile low average OF f4O per
head, is { 10000, 900 per annum hut the
loss is not TO be measured by this suni,
enormous rs il is, for we nut reckon what
would be gained were this mass OF labor
productive, instead Of unproducise. The
labor of 3,77l ,760 able-bodied men connot
be calculated so that virtually between the
cost OF their maintenance and What they
ought to produce were their labor utilized.
there is Inference ot something like
f300,000,000a year. We arc quite sure
this sum is rather under Than over max.
The worst feature all this Is that We
can see no termination TO this expenditure.
Since the breakdown Of popular institu-
lions 10 America, and the outbreak OF the
savage var which the Republicans and
Democrats Of that country are waging
against each other, we may turn in vain
for consolation from the Old 70 The New
