WAR A COSTLY LUXURY.

War is costly luxury, and only rich
nations can afford to indulge in it. The
cost of warfare nowadays is probably hay
ing more to do with the vacillating policy
between England and Russia than anything
else. Both nations are really anxious to
fight. Russia's longing eye is resting on
possessions beyond her own border, and her
palms are itching to clutch them. 1t is
almost as essential to her national prosperity
as it is to her strength as war power that
she shall have territory now within the
possession of the British empire On the
other hand, England is anxious to pay off
some old debts she owes Russia in the way
of grudges for past hostilities, and would
love to embrace an opportunity to chastise
an ancient foe. But the trouble with both
nations is that modern wars are now largely
questions of finance, and neither one is in
condition to embark in war.
England already has debt of So, 70O,-
900, 600, principally contracted for the ex-
penSeS of former wars. RuSSias debt is
very nearly equal to that of England, being
So, $40, 600, 900; and her finances have been
weak anu growing weaker since 1919.
There is deficit every year in the Russian
treasury of about $40, 600, 900. Last year the
custom duties were largely increased in the
hope that it would reduce the debt, but it
failed to increase the revenue and the deficit
was as large as usual. Notwithstanding
her large army Russia is not in a financial
condition to go to war.
Of all European powers France is bowed
under the heaviest national debt. nearly all
of which has been created of late years and
is due to war. Her present debt is "a, 75O,-
900, 900, and of this nearly one-half was
caused by the Prussian war, which lasted
only few months. Nearly one billion was
spent in military operations and another
billion in indemnity to Germany.

TEXAS CHESTNUTS.

Col. J. ARMoRY KNOX, the funny para
graph man of the Texas Siftings, lectured
to a crowded house in New York the other
night for the benefit of the BARTHOLDI
pedestal fund. The subject of his lecture
was The Relationship of Wit to HumOr and
New Jokes to Chestnuts. He claimed that
wit is never unconscious, while humOr at
its best is always unattended. Col. KNOX
has poor opinion of English appreciation
of humor. According to report of his
lecture in the Philadelphia News, he read a
number of jokes from Punch, begging his
hearers to study them closely and if posi-
BILE to catch on to them. He contraSted
them with current American witticisms in a
very amusing manner. s.The English" he
said, ''have something which passes cur
rent for hllmor, and which is not l assure
you, to be laughed at"

relies upon an unexpected and terse cOnclu-
sion to series of plain statements, as, for
example, John Henry loaded and dis
charged a toy cannon yesterday. The flu

CHICAGO, May 8.--The fourth days
meeting of the managers of the Western
lines has brought the matter in dispute
nearer to a solution than at any time since
the sessions began, in fact they are at that
point where the major portion OF them may
be considered as practically settled All of
the questions involved in the pooling of traf
tic between Chicago and the Missouri river
points and also the traffic originating west
OF the Missouri river, have been substan-
TALLY reduced to an agreement without
arbitration. This not only is true in re-
gard to the traffic, but in relation to per-
centages of revenue to each system of the
road. The plan embraces q series of pools,
namely: One on east-bound business, origi-
mating west of Julesburg, one on business
originating between OF destined to territory
between Omaha and Julesburg, one
covering ranch live stock, one embracing
Council Bluffs and Omaha business, one on
West-bOund business originating on or east
OF the Mississippi river, and one on the
common point Nebraska business some
ten in all-reached by the several roads.
This was in the consideration of the pooling
OF the milling in transit between the North
western roads. 1t was proposed that the
settling of this should be left to arbitration.
Objection was at once made to this by
the st. Paul. who will make this
an issue, positively asserting that it will
not under any circumstances yield its point.
1t has made q slight concession, virtually
agreeing to pool the business henceforward,
but will not consent that what has been
done in the past shall be made basis for
the arrangement At this point the con-
ference is at full stop.

abandoned without honorable negotiations

vision for the application for the benefit of

Cleveland Endorsed.

New YORK, May S.-The county De-
mocracy held a large meeting tonight and
adopted resolutions, commencing and
heartily indorsing the administration of
Grover Cleveland" The resolutions say
that the conduct of public affairs since the
Inauguration has been in marked contrast
with the violent partisanship which for so
many years characterized the Republic
can administration. His fearless and
honest consistency; his varied experience
in the administration of public affairs; his
acceptance of and devotion to the principles
of true Democracy afford sure guarantees
that his administration will bring to the
nation the inestimable benefits of an intel
ligent and honest government and will re-
feet honor to the party that elected him to
the office. We tender to Grover Cleveland
at all times the assurance of the Jealous
and cordial support of the New York county
Democracy.
Resolved, That, in our Judgment, subject to
the provisions of existing laws all public Of
fees now vacant, and such as may become
vacant, should be filled by the appointment of
such Democrats as may commend themselves
to the appointing power, by capacity, integ
rity, and by the record of their services, and
of their faithful adherence to the principles
of the Democratic party.

No Longer Than is Necessary.

1t is not the intention to hold cattle at
the boundary of Montana any longer than
is absolutely necessary to inspect them,
providing they have not been brought
through infected districts, but if the stock
shippers cannot satisfy inspectors that the
cattle have not been exposed to pleuro-
pneumonia by being brought from or
through infected districts, they must expect
rigid examination. If the inspector de-
clines to issue certificate of health, the
cattle would be quarantined for ninety days
under the law.
The above is an extract from a proclama-
ton issued by the governor OF Montana

A TRUCE. NOT PEACE.

If Mr.. GLADSTONE has permitted the
national honor OF England to suffer by his
temporizing and yielding policy it must be
admitted that he has done great deal for
civilization. When it once becomes estab-
lished among nations that war with all its
attendant horrors is not to be provoked bv
some fancied injury to national pride long
stride will have been made toward mil
lennial period. Still it is not evident that
the English government has been actuated
by such high motives. What now appears
to be an agreement for peace it is limited
may only be truce by which England is to
gain an advantage. A Russian newspaper
expresses the exact truth about the situa-
ton in Asia when it says that ''the question
will not be settled until the Asiatic domin-
ions of the car and the queen are coter-
minOus," This means that Afghanistan.
which is now interposed between them.
must belong to Russia OF England, OF else
be divided between them. 1t is not con-
ceivable that it will go to either power
except as the result of successful war
with the other. 1t is hardly possible that
partition can be arrived at which will per-
manently satisfy both parties except by the
same process. No matter what the result
OF the pending arbitration may be, in order
to secure advantageous positions for the
struggle which must come sooner or later,
Russia will advance to Herat and the Eng
fish to Candahar. On the side of Russia it
will be war OF conquest prompted by ne
cessity to preserve her national strength
and influence, While on the part of England
1t will be an enforced struggle for the peace
able possession of territories which are hers
by long prescription whatever her orig
1nal title may have been. This attitude
viii give England the general sympathy of
mankind.

increasing and improving school accommoda-
lions in New York city and appropriated
S2,OO0,000 for the purpose. 1t is intended to
provide for proper ventilation and heating in
the school rooms and a thorough sanitary
government of the schools. This is a move
in the right direction. Conditions of defec-
tive ventilation, overwhelming in winter and
creating draughts in summer by throwing
open windows without rule or system, are
aggravated by the crowding of pupils into
spaces where they must inevitably sicken
from the daily taking of vitiated air into their
little lungs Civilization can have no excuse

How Brides Are Made Happy.

Special to the GIODe.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The vault in the
treasury department where the $50, 900, 900
reserve is kept is one of the sights of Wash
ington. 1t has long been the custom to
hand to each bride who entered the vault a
package said to contain $4,000, 900. When
the fair creatures had expressed their sur
prise, after the fashion of the sex, the pack
age would be carefully taken from them and
put away. 1t has generally been understood
by knowing ones that the value of the pack
age was largely imaginative, but its real
contents were never actually known until a
few days ago. when the count in the vault
of the treasury was commenced it was then
found that this SIS, 600, 900 package, which
has been so fondly handled, simply con-
tanned a few pieces of blank paper. I'VE

The Bogus 60 Better Classes"

In st. Paul Merriam was forced upon the
Republican party by the Pioneer Press, on
platform distinctly stating that he was the
representative of the better elements of the
community, and thus excluding the common
people. He was supported on the same
grounds, and it was only when his nomina-
ton failed to find a response among the ordi-
nary class OF voters that the question of NAL
feasance in office and corruption in city af-
Talrs was dragged in. He was de-
Ieated, as any man on such a plat
form deserved to be defeated. In
several cities this question of the so-called
better classes is becoming an interesting one.

morals or higher intellectual capacity, but on
the possession OF money This is the danger
