every station and vocation. New ventures. new
investments in business and manufacture, the
construction Of new and important works, and
the enlargement OF enterprises already eetab-
lished, depend largely upon obtaining money
upon easy terms, with fair security: and al
these things are stimulated by an aound-
ant volume OF circulating medium. Even the
harvested grain of the farmer remains without
a market unless money is forthcoming for its
movement ana transportation TO the seaboard.
The hrst result of a scarcity OF money among
the people Is the exsction OF severe terms for
its use. Increasing distrusr and timidity is fol-
lowed by a refusal to loau or advance on any
terms. Investors refuse all risks. and decline
all securities. and in a general fright the money
still ln the hands Of the people is persisteptly

perfectly natural, il not inevitable stage is

Military Efficiency Of France.

The military ability of France, and
her system of fertilization, are splen-
didly developed, especially when one
considers the shifting policies of the
war department under her peculiar
administration of republicanism. 1t
may be said, however, that each new
minister, urged on by the national
feeling, has accelerated rather than
abated or suspended movement.
For five years following the re-estab-
lishment of the republic, the national
assembly spent much of it's time in
supplementing the organic laws of
'72, which were copied in the main
from those of Prussia. Universal IL
ability to arms, non-substitution,
and the adjustment of paid enlist
ment, are the first features of the
modern military statutes. Liability
to service in the actives or reserves
extends from twenty to forty years.
The annual contingent is divided in
to two categories, the first serving
three in active army. Since Boulan.
gers time in the reserve, and the Sec
ond, only one year in the years with
the colors, and two years in the war
office-and the subtle inspiration of
his policy is now becoming manifest,
the enlistments have been localized.
In consequence of this concession,
thousands of trained soldiers, armed
for revolution as well as war, are
caserned at their own firesides, which
enables them to balance their inter-
est between subjects of home politics
and trainings for national defence.
Including the Gendarmerie and Gar
de Republicaine, France has at pres
emit a peace footing of 525,711 men.
Deducting vacancies, absentees and
sick, the total would be 465,0O0.
The territorial force, officers and
men, is about 500, making the total
active 1,155,OOO. The German
authorities narrow the total war
force of France to something less
than 4, 600, 900; both Hennebert and
Froment, who are perhaps the best
authorities on the subject, approx
mate it at over 4, 100000.

The Bnsfle Must Go,

The hustle must go. The upper
circles of Washington society have
been thrown into a fiutter of excite
ment by the announcement that Mrs
Cleveland has abandoned the hustle
Last week she drove in and received
O. few friends at the White house.
The ladies who called could hardly
believe the evidence of their own eyes
when they observed the entire absence
the customary hustle. They looked
again, however, and saw that their
first impressions had been correct
Mrs. Cleveland was bustleless. No
remarks were made on either side,
but it is comparatively certain that
now that Mrs. Cleveland has aban-
doned the hustle, the rest of feminine
upper-tendom in Washington will
lose no time in following her example.
