The MEXICAN WAR.
Area Of the Territory Acquired by th
United States Under the Guadalupe
HidalgO Treaty,

Area OF the Territory Acquired by tho
United States Under the Gpadalupe-
Hidalgo Treaty.
The principal of the public debt of
the United States was increased to the
extent of $3l, ,494, $50 between July /,
1916, and July l, 1913. This was al
most entirely due to the war between
Mexico and this country, which had
taken place within this period. The
aggregate cost Of that war, however,
was about S10O,0O0,0O0. This includes
the amount paid by the United States
/ to Mexico for the lands ceded to this
country by the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, at the close Of the war ($l5,-
000,0OO, and the debts due by Mexico
to United States citizens ($3, 900, ,000),
which the United States agreed to as
sumo, as well as the cost of fitting out
troops and maintaining them in the
field, and other expenses arising out OF
that contest. The following is the ter

acquired by the United States under

MUSICAL BICYCLES.


Clubs of wheslmen to Have Their Own
Va. Brass Bands-The Melocipede.
The latest novelty in the line OF
musical instruments is suggested in a
recent edition of musical journal.
The word used to describe this new
idea is melocipede. Tho word can not
yet be found in the dictionaries, but il
portrays very exactly the impression
which the word is intended to convey.
1t is derived from two Greek words,
melo, music, and pes, foot. A melo-
cipede is, therefore, a musical bicycle,
so constructed that the rider, without
any extra exertion beyond that neces-
sary to propel bis machine, can pedal
out sonatas, waltzes, marches and, in
fact, any music which may suit his
fancy as he wheels along. There is a
certain luxury about this instrument
which would make it popular at once
The musical bicycle may therefore be
considered an established institution.
Heretofore the only music about BIZ
cycle has been that made by bugle or
a BELL and there has been therefore a
great lack Of variety in the music pro-
duced. The melocipede will, however,
remedy all this. How much plcasanter
will it be, the warning to the pedestrian
of the approaching machine, BY hear
ing an aria from Trovatore, or perhaps
one of Wagner's airs, over the usual
jingling of bell. And to the solitary
rider the musical probabilities of tho
instrument will be more than welcome.
For bicycle club it Will also be indis,
pensablc, as the club can now wheel
through the country to the music of It's
own brass band. One other advantage
is that no previous knowledge will be
required to play upon the new instru.
ment. A long and useful life is pre-
dicted for the melocipede. N. y. Mai

Justjce woods, Illness.

Says a Washington special to the New
York World this morning; "Thc condition
Of Justice Woods of the Supreme Court
seriously alarms his friends. Last year he
was in good health and with prospect of
long life. Towards the close of the last
term of the court he contracted severe
cold, He had not fully recovered when he
went South upon his circuit, There he soon
began 10 suffer from chills. The Justice
believed ho was euiIelIng from malaria, but
II now appears IL was the result Of his cold
having weakened blln so that his work soon
became too .luch for him. When he re.
turned to Washington his physicians found
that his lungs were seriously affected. The
Justice Is now lighting gallantly against
rapid consumption. llewill not 20 back to
the couIt this winter, aud may seek a
milder climate soon. IL is not believed he
will ever be able to go back TO his court
work. -

MOVING THE HARVEST HAY.

The late sun furls her golden sails
And turns her red PROV west;
The wind blows sweet with rye and wheat,
The bluelay seeks her nest
The patient kline wind to the ranch,
the hOmeward horses neigh;
And down the grass the swift sCythes pass,
Moving the harvest hay,
The brown young farmer stalks beside
And cheers the meek team ON;
His eyes are blue, his heart Is true
And warm "a summer sun.
He gayly whistles tune on tune,
70 while the time away
As down the grass the swift scYthGs pass,
Moving the harvest hay.
From the near barn clear voice calls
The mllCh cows one by one;
Beside the gates the farmer waits
The faithful team goes ON.
IIhg pretty miikmaid leaves her pals,
TO hear what he would say,
And down the grass the scythes still pas
Moving the harvest hay,
sweet old tale that never tires
o love forever new,
The dusk 30 hear steals softly near,
Adown her bridge of dew,
The brown young farmer pleads his prayer.
The pretty maid says Aye
Aud down the grass the swift scythes pass,
Moving the harvest hay.

sECoNn-rERM GOSSIP.

The Washington letter to the New
York Sun relative to the Presidents
political methods and purposes, of
which liberal quotations are made in
to.day's Critic, Is pronounced by the
SIN both accurate and iudicious,"
yet II does not thoroughly convince
our esteemed contemporary that Mr.,
Cleveland possesses the ability to secure
the nomination lha' he is said to be
working for.
THE CRITICS Judgment Of the letter
is that it is far from being convincing
as to the President intentions. 1t
fails to show that he wants a second
term. While no doubt just In its
statements of Nj Cleyrund's general
policy, it fails to note, or at least be.
Titles the importance of, the mistakes
he is charged with making. 1t may
be questioned whether a President
who was thoroughly wise could have
provoked such an arraignmcnt aS Mt
Cleveland was subjected to last Fri
day night by the New York County
Democracy; or have raised such Il
storm about his ears, as prevails in
Missouri, and but recently prevailed
in Kentucky h
The letter is faulty anl superficial in
that 1t does not appreciate at its full
weight the Democratic sentiment of
the country which is adverse to the
Civil Service law in spirit, letter and
enforcement. The writer wholly ig-
norcs the chief obstacles that intcrpose
themselves to Mr.. Clcvelands rcnomi.

Queer Things ia Politics..

1t is noteworthy fact, says the Chicago
Nnrs that, while s5 per cent, of the Repub-
lican gains in Illinois this year were made In
counties which, two years ago, were Demo.
cratic, at least 90 per cent, of the Demo-
cratic gains We're made in counties which
were at that time Republican. Outside OF
Cook County about 80 per cent. Of theDsmo-
cratic gains were made In counties which
this year gave Republican pluralties, while
only about 60 per cent, of the Republican
gains were made in counties which gave
Democratic plurallties. In the entire State
the Republican gains We're very much
greater than those of the Democrats, but in
the State outside of Cook County the Demo
Gratis gained more than the Republicans.

II does not, therefore, look as II this
latest solution would prove satisfac-
tory conclusion of the difficulty One
encouraging piece Of information
comes from Ottawa, however, to the
effect that Canada now sees that 1t Is
costing more to protect her fisheries
than the fish caught by Americans in
her waters are worth. A pocket-book
argument like this may prove more
effective than any other in bringing
matters to a settlement.

some time past and that they have

lem OF course, the scheme has for
its basis Commission. the bare

in a rage; but Canada has had such
good luck with Commissions that she
cannot think of dealing with the pend

What is now proposed is the appoint
ment Of a commission Of five, two to
be chosen by Canada for Great Britain,
two by the United States and one by
France. This commission is to settle
all questions that may arise during the
next twenty years. The plan, which,
II is said has the approval Of the COD

the fishing grounds of Canada, New

be open to the inhabitants Of either
