In order that peace may be maintained in
Europe its inhabitants are subjected to mill
tary burdens hardly less oppressive than an
actual state of war The six great peace
preservers of Europe are Germany, France,
Austria, Italy, Great Britain and Russia. The
peace establishment of the German Empire
consists of an army of $4,000 men Of all
arms and 81, 900 horses, capable of expan-
sion to a war footing of !, 800, 900 men and
3l2, 600 horses. The peace establishment of
Austria Hungary contains PCS, 900 men and
80, 900 horses, which can be expanded to
force of 900 600 men and 200, 900 horses on
the first note of war. Italy has an effective
military force of 100000 men to aid in main
tanning the peace of Europe The standing
army of Great Britain contains l05, 600 men
and %, 900 horses, with a regular reserve OF
$4,000 men. This army is scattered over va
rious parts of the globe, defending the pos
sessions of Great Britain but in case of mill
tary necessity it can be easily concentrated.
The effective force Of Russia's regular army
in time of peace amounts to 974, 900 men and
%, 600 horses. These six great peace
preservers have thus in constant pay
standing military forces amounting to
nearly 5000, 600 men for maintaining the
public tranquility of Europe and for defence
against each other For maintaining these
vast military establishments the expenses are
as follows Germany, S9O, ,OOO,OoUi france,
GIG 900 600; Great Britain, S9l 900, 0OOi
Austria $50, 900, 900; Italy, $4,000, 900,
aud Russia, SlO9, 900, ,000--making q grand
total of $685., 600 900 a year for keeping the
peace of Europe. All this, too, is exclusive
of the enormous expenses of the nayies OF
these countries
In this watchful condition of armed peace
each of these governments is constantly on
the strain for making improvements in the
military service, SO as to gain superiority
over its neghbor As soon as one introduces
some new arm or destructive engine of war
the other initiates or adopts it if satisfactory
Since 1870 France and Germany have shrunk
from no expense for improvements to in
crease the efficiency of their armies in every
possible way. In France, Republicans, Rad
! icas, Bonapartsts and MonArchists, though
indulging in factious conflicts over every
thing else, never fail to agree when 1t comes
| to question of military expenditure. The
| French cheerfully submit to any burden if il
| be accompanied with a prospect of wiping
| out the humiliation of Sedan and restoring
| their captured provinces of Alsaoe and Lor-
/ rgine. To induce the Germans to bear with
more patience new load of taxes their states
men have only to alarm them with fresh ac
count of the military preparations OF then
ancient enemy beyond the Nosges. Spies
are employed to secure plans of Notifications
or to obtain any other military secrets of q
rival that may prove of future use. Military
lines are strengthened and extended in every
direction for the transportion of troops and
munitions with convenience and exPeduon

Work on THE PANAMA CANAL.-Nathan
Appleton, the American disciple of Lesseps,
who has Just returned from the isthmus,
says that GO00 men are at work upon the
Panama canal and that there is activity along
the route. The proportion of sick laborers
is small. The path Of the canal has already
been grubbed and can be ridden over from
ocean to ocean. Mr.. Appleton says; 1.-The
digging of the canal has now fairly begun.
At Calebra is the highest point on the line,
some 800 feet above the level of the sea.
An American, Albert Millet, has the contract
for excavating and removing some 3, 900, 600
cubic meters. His place is called the Amori-
can camp, or section, from the fact that al
most all his machinery was made in the
United States, and his operations are watched
with great interest and even jealousy, by the
Frenchmen aud others, who are very fast
coming to recognize the superiority of Amer
lean machines, and American inventive tai.
ent He has an excavator, built at Albany,
n. Y, digging sharply into the mountain
side dumping earth into cars made at Spring
field, and which are hauled by a locomotive
made in Boston. From Calebra several miles
toward the Pacific and 10 miles or more
toward the Atlantic, the laborers are hard at
work digging through this, the backbone OF
that part of the Andes. contract has re-
Gently been made with an American for
dredging 10 miles on the Pacific end of the
canal, and at the Atlantic terminus work has
already begun. Two dredging machines,
each with a capacity of about 1000 meters a
day, are employed there. The American
dredging company has the contract for
dredging 10 miles at the Atlantic end, and il
will put at work there three colossal ma
chimes, one of which is now on its way there,
and the other two which are now building at
Philadelphia each costing 1925, 900. The
material that is brought up from the bottom
of the canal at Colon, where these smaller
dredges are at work, is pure white coral,
which, when wet in its place. is cut through
as easily as cheese. The canal company is
now paying out not far from $500, 900 month
ly on the isthmus, and another half-million
dollars is being spent at the Paris and New
York offices for supplies and machinery of
all kinds. That is, the work is being pushed
ahead at the rate of a million dollars month,
and the company has sufficient money to go
on this basis for three years to come, at
which time the work will be so far advanced
that it will continue by its own momentum.
In everything that is done, Capt. Appleton
says. the inspiring mind and the controlling
hand of III. de Lesseps are seen.

While these military governments are jeal-
ously watching each other they all feel the
necessity Of maintaining vast armies for sup
pressing internal revolution that may break
out in terrible violence at any moment Each
is haunted by spectre more formidable than
the enemy beyond It's frontier. In Germany
and Austria the socialist disciples Of Karl
Marx, in France the Communists, in Great
Britain the Fenians, in Russia the Nihiists,
in Italy tho Irredentists and the organization
Of the "Black Hand in Spain are 80 many
objects of the anxious solcitude Of govern
ments. But instead Of making the danger
the less these standing armies increase il by
intensifying the discomfort Of the people by
reason of the enormous burdens of debt and
taxes which their maintenance inAict. When
the conflict comes, which is inevitable from
this condition Of things, the army will be
found in sympathy with the people, as in
1Sis. The best way Of preserving peace in
Europe is by taking the bayonets from the
throats of tho people and disbanding the
vast military camps.
