NATIONAL DEBTS.
a Comparison in Which the United States
Figures HandsomalY.

While the United States have paid
Off in ten years 81, O06, 100000 of public
debt, and in ten years more will have
reduced it to insignificant proportions,
the eight chief European nations owed
between them in 1880 93. 9S7, ,00O 900.
or nearly 4 900 millions sterling; and
this debt has increased bv FL, $50, 900, .
OO0 between 1865 and 1880, or nearly
~ per cent. 1t is scarcely necessary
to point out the serious effect which
the payment OF interest on this enor-
nous debt must have upon the Euro
pean nations, to say nothing of repay
ment of capital. At 8 per cent. only
the interest amounts to 9120. 600 900
per annum, and much of it is charge
able with considerably higher interest.
1t is possible to argue that the inter-
est is paid in the main to mem bers of
the several nations concerned, and
therefore can not impoverish them;
but in any case it comes out of the
pockets of the workers, and keeps in
ldleness q whole army of drones, who
for the most part impoverish the ma
ton instead of adding to It's wealth.
A closer comparison may perhaps
be made by comparing England and
France taken together (whose popu-
lations now exceed that of the United
States by about 25 per cenD with the
United States. England and France
together pay fS1 500. 900 year on
their public debt, and Eos. 200 900 for
army and navy, and give up 730. 900
able bodied men to the army. Esti-
mating their useful labor at only EGO
per annum each, we have further cx-
rense of f14 600 900 yearly. Thus the
cost to France and England together,
Of army and navy and debts can not
be put down at less than e164 800 900
per annum. Even during the present
period of enormous repayments the
United Safes is only paying f19, O0O.-
900 a year on the debt, and it's total
expenditure on war, debt and men is
less than $50. 500, 900; leaving f133-
300, 600 as somewhat about the cost Of
the English and French war system to
those nations over and above the cost
of the United States system. OF
course if we consider the amount per
head. the United States figures still
better. England and France spend
$1075 per head, or $54 per family of
five persons; the United States less
than 50 Is per head-in fact, about
S13. 25 per family of five.-G. T.

Surprised by the Gar.

An amusing story comes from St.
Petersburg. A few days ago the Gar
went, without previously announcing
his visit, to religious house, where
His Majesty was received. but not rec
ognized. When the Gear asked that
divine service should be celebrated
the monk replied that it was impossi-
BILE. as the priests were, all asleep.
But some people outside who had seen
the Gar enter the establishment hast
ened to warn the monk who their
visitor was. The monks accordingly
proceeded to officiate in the church.
Unfortun ately several Of them gave
unmistakable signs of having refresh
ed themselves too copiously at
lun ncheon, which so incensed the Gar
that on returning to the palace he at
once sent tor the chief of the holy
synod. The cfsnding monks have
since been banished to dis stant non aa
ter;es. -Lcados Telegraph.

THE LOYAL LEGION.
Sherman's Last Appearance as
Commander.

CINCINNATI, May Sat the annual
dinner of the Loyal Legion last night,
Gen. Sherman, the commander, pre-
sided, and was toast-maSter. He in
timated in the beginning that brevity
was desirable, as some of the COM
panions were growing old. His remarks
were listened to with marked attention,
especially when at nearly 2 o'clock in
the morning, he arose to say good-by.
1t was felt by many that this would
probably be his last appearance, as he
has declined reelection and his resi-
dence in New York makes it incon-
venient for him to attend. An almost
death-liEe stiffness prevailed. The gen.
eral spoke with feeling of the eXtraor-
dinary scene. He said it was delightful
to see such body of men together, so
strong physically and mentally, and to
European country could produce such a
gathering, yet he had seen similar meet
ings all over this land, from Maine to
Puget's sound-eyen in New Orleans
and Atlanta. The lessons of patriotism
and loyalty to the flag inculcated here
he begged his companiona to carry home
with them and teach them to their
children and grandchildren, and with
this he said farewell, asking the COM
mandery to join in singing "America."
Responses to toasts were made by Gov
Foraker, Gen. Willard Warner, of
Alabama: eX-President Hays; Col. D. P.
Dyer, of st. Louis; Capt. Thomas Speed,
of Louisville; Gen. John P. Rea, of
Minneapolis, and Col. Smith A. Whit

mains here till tomorrow. He has been

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Mr. Wilson, of
West Virginia, Ga member of the WAYS

the opponents of the tariff bill repre-
sented the issue to be between free
trade and protection. 1t was rather an
effort of the people to recover the right
to tax themselves. The time was when
the test of loyalty to the country was
devotion to the Union in the struggle for
its preservation. Lately, however, the
country had been told that even a Nc
Clellan and Hancock must be ranked
as allies of the cOnfederacy because
of their disloyalty to particular party:
but in this debate new test had been
set up and we have heard the name of
a citizen who stands before the world as

American literature with long and
honorable record of public service be-
hind him, poet whose words in DAYS

that of Benedict Arnold because he
would not bow down to the feet of pro-

criticisms of the manner in which this
bill was prepared, saying that such crit
icisms could not justly be made by those
who stood for the defense of the exist
ing law, which he said was prepared in
secret conference and hurried through
congress without being sifted or read.

and his great pupil, the Emperor Napo-
leon. But Colbert was the minister of
the chief of the Bourbons and neither
Colbert nor Napoleon were teachers to
whom the citizen of a free republic
could turn for instruction as to laying
or eXpending taxes. 1t was Colbert
who built up his masters navy by
claiming to the galleys thousands of in
nocent citizens, just as protection had
built up monopoly by claiming millions
of farmers and laboring men to its serv-
ice. 1t was Colbert who defined the art
of taxation to consist in $50 plucking
the goose as to get the greatest possible
amount of feathers with the least posi-
bic amount of sQualling," There never
had been more apt or complete defini-
tion of protective tariff. When it
came to dealing with our own history
protection acted on the rule of the Ohio
politician, to claim everything. What
ever we had gained in common with all
other enlightened peoples by our efforts
and theirs by mans growing control

body of a man laying in a brush heap
which he was burning OH his farm, and
which he had set on fire last night. The
body was burned beyond all recogni-
ton. Carl Tesch, keeper of the poor
farm, recognized the shoes as belonging
to a pauper named Ernest Perren, who
had left the poor house the day previ-
Gus. At first it was thought that Perren,
who was weak-minded, had wandered
around, and, finding the burning brush
heap, had sat down on log and fallen
in and been burned to death. A post
mortem and inquest was held to-day.
The doctors evidence went to show
that Perren was dead before being put
on the fire, and the jury brought in
verdict that deceased had come to his
death from violence at the hands OF
unknown parties. No cause can be as
signed for the murder of this unOtfend-
