WILL IT BE WAR ?
TIE LATE REPORTS ARE THAT A
JOB is IN SIGHT.

This Is the Latest Washington Corre
spondence Concerning the Affairs of
Pat Egan and Others.
The general impression here is that
Chilli will fight, and that the United
States is now in a position where it
must fight or retreat with dishonor. No
person of responsibility has yet been
found who doubts that America will
come out foremost in the end, but the
general expression is that Chilli will
have, for the present, decided adVan-
tage The sentiment Of the mercantile
houses trading with Chill is strongly
against war, and the nitrate interests are
also opposed to it, on the ground that
the United States may, through an ar
rangement with Peru, get control of the
nitrate deposits; also that successful
war would have the effect of raising
American prestige in South America, to
the detriment of England. The change
of feeling since yesterday is most sig
nifcant Then the idea of war was
pooh, poohed. Now war is regarded as
almost inevitable.
The United States Can put in commits
sion, seventeen war vessels. 1t will,
however, require from one to three
months to put them all in proper fight
ing trim. This feet would include the
Baltimore, Boston, Yorktown, San Fran
cisco, Newark, Petrol, Kearsage, Concord,
Chicago, Atlanta, Bennington, Yantic,
Thetis, Mohegan, Ranger, Miantonomah
and Philadelphia.
THe Baltimore is now at Valparaiso,
and it was the murder of number Of her
crew that caused the present critical con-
dition of affairs The Boston and \ ork-
town are Ell route for Valparaiso. The
San Francisco was at Callao, but she has
been ordered to San Francisco for needed
repairs. The Newark is fitting out at
the Boston Navy Yard, and can go to sea
almost Immediately. The Petrol is in
New York harDor, and also ready. The
Yantic is on her way to the South Amer
| lean Coast.
The Philadelphia, Concord and kear-
sage, under command O Rear Admiral
Gherardi, are in commission, and only
need full magazines to be ready for ac-
tive service The same may be said of
the Atlanta, Bennington and Chicago,
under acting Rear Admiral Walker.
The MohegaH, Thetis and Ranger are
! in San Francisco harbor, and would be
among the first to arrive in Chilian wa
ters. The Miantonomah has just been
placed in commission, and might be got
ready ih short time.

proper to pay bounty of 2 cents a

bounty should have been paid to the
manufacturers of sugar of lead or
grape sugar. There was as much
reason for doing one thing as the
other. Cane sugar and maple sugar
are not to be put in the same catego-

the treasury to class the Louisiana
cane planter with the maple sugar
farmer of Vermont. Senator Ed

should be paid to one it should be
paid to the other, proved that he
could upon occasion ignore the pub

THE TREASURY MATTER

The investigation of the State
Treasurer books, and the result as
certained was no small undertaking
\ number of propositions were sug-
gested by both houses to solve the
Treasury muddle, all of which re-
suited in the passage of bill author
izing the Burning Board" as it is
commonly called, to take up the in
vestigation of the Treasury matter
where the joint committee left off i,
and straighten out the accounts in
this Office. The sensational reports
telegraphed to Eastern papers about
the deficits in the Treasury are un
reliable, as the real status of the con-
dition of the Treasury is known to no
one. The special and joint commit
tees Of the two houses of the General
Assembly have made their reports
in which the shortages of the ex-
Treasurer were mentioned, but they
failed to go to the bottom of the in
vestigation, aud it now remains for
the State Debt Board to give the in
formation desired by the public.
The bill passed by the Legislature
imposes upon that board this duty,
1t tells them to prosecute the inves-
tigation where they left off and says
to that board that it shall examine
each, every and all bonds,
coupons, scrip, Treasurer warrants
and all securities now rendered or
offered, or that have heretofore been
rendered or offered, or may hcreaf

So American workingmen who re-

ZIONIST figures of their wages, over

The memory of days that brought us pain,
Shall be forever stillcd;

The lost shall clasp us in fond embrace

LABOR, PROTECTED AND UN.
PROTECTED.

1t is q most notable fact that
where there are marked differences
in the wages of American and En-
glish workers 1t is not in the wages
of factory operatives, but of mechan-
les whose tools and materials are
taxed by the tariff. But whenever
there Is an illustration Of "high
American wages" in the Protection
ist organs, the basis of comparison is
the wages of the American mechanic,
not of the protected" coal miner of
Pennsylvania, or the Protected"
operatives of Fall River. The New
York Press, founded by the Ameri-
can League of Tariff Barons, and
lately edited by Hon. Robert
Depopulator Porter, now of the Cen
sus Bureau, has this striking illustra-

sleepless night passed in turning and
returning in his bed, he arose with
a smile on his thin lips. He had
found key to the problem. He
commenced by ordering Brigitte to
kill the plumpest chicken and to cook
it in the oven with good piece of
pork. In the meanwhile, he brought
from the cellar, where it was hid be-
hind the fagots, bottle of old wine
And finally he gave his servant
money to buy sugar, coffee and
brandy.
Brigitte asked herself if her master
had gone mad
''Surely some demon has taken
possession of his mind !" she thought
with a thrill of fear.
1t seemed fearful increase of the
malady when the old gentleman, af-
ter having ordered her to lay the ia
BILE for two, asked her to take her
place as his vis-a-vis.
"Oh, master, l should never, new
er dare to do that!'
'Sit down there, l tell you, you
foolish woman.''
Brigitte had heard that one must
not oppose the wishes of maniacs.
So, without answering, she seated
herself in great embarrassment on
the edge of the chair
Come, eat and drink, Brigitte,
my GIRL" he said, filling her plate
generously.
However, this was not the last sur
prise for Brigtte. When the coffee
was served the old gentleman sud
denly said:

means | am going to get married -

late if you are old, you are still hale
and well," answered the simple SER
want approvingly.
"Since that is your view, if you
like, we will marry each other
After the roast chicken and pork,
the coffee and wine, Brigitte expected
to hear almost any strange thing on
the part of her master. But that
Oh, not that,
You are joking me, masters"
"Not al ALL" answered the old
peasant, He explained that he was
growing old, was without children or
family, and did not wish to die alone
like dog. Besides he was grateful.
He could not forget that Brlgitte had
saved his life-his faithful Brigitte.
One must not be forgotten Of such a
service.
Finally, the worthy woman, whose
head was turned by this stroke Of
good fortune, believed in his SINGER
ity. She, humble servant, marry
her master? Think of it, 1t was,
! indeed, something to turn ones
! brain.
The bans were published, and the
marriage followed. The couple were
greeted at the church by the good
natured smiles of the whole village.
After the ceremony the new hus-
band hurriedly conducted his wife
! home.
Having crossed the threshold, he
hastily demanded in a joyful voice,
while cnergetically rubbing his hands.
"Brigitte, my girl, where have you
put your ticket:'
."What ticket?"
"Your lottery ticket, No "a -
"What lottery!"
"Iou know very weli," he cried,

lower than 1915 day. 1t is con-
siderably lower, as matter of fact,
but not as low as in England, be-

your best efforts. Now is the time.
Cur pastors with few exceptions have
received but little on their
salaries up to date. Their ex-
penses through the winter are
heavy. Their embarrassment will
be great unless the stewards act
promptly and faithfully. Brethren,
please see that your pastors and their
families have the support to which
they are entitled under the gospel.
Even so hath the Lord ordained that
they which preach the gospel should
live Of the gospel Present the
claims Of the church for the support
Of the ministry to all the members
and urge them to make liberal offer
ings now, so as to meet the present
emergencies Of the pastors. Our
people will meet these claims when
they are rightly presented. Much
depends on the wisdom, fidelity and
activity of our stewards.
Let our pastors put forth earnest
and vigorous efforts to raise the col
lecions ordered by the annual con-
ference THESE collections are i'm
portant Now is the time to raise
them. Brethren, we must not rest
antil these sacred claims of the
church shall have been paid in full.
Present them to every member of
the church. Turn on the light.
These claims are not a burden to
Christian people when they rightly
understand them. Good people give
70 these sacred claims literally and
eheerfuIly. God loves the cheerful
giver. HERsCHEL p. REAMs.
