nations agreed IN 1882 to be content
with one-haf of their enormous OUTLAWS,
and thus to reduce their insurance
against war by SO per cent, what would
they have saved by the end of 1883? In
round figures France would have been
richer by Ellis. 900, 600; Germany by
100000, 900; Austria Hungary by e41.-

voice Of those who advocated an inter-
nationally assured peace had been then
listened to, the result would have been
SAVING of EATS, 100000. But this
means in money saved only. The actual
commercial gain must have been inf
nitely greater, since by a reduction of
mon by one half, 100000 Frenchmen,
100000 Germans, 572,500 Austrians,
and 100000 Britons (the latter nearly all

strength of armies as fighting machines
not in any way altered. Reflections of
this kind are natural at a time when

side in apparent harmony.

EUROPEAN GARRlSONS.

It Will perhaps be interesting to many
readers of The IRISH STAANDRD to learn
of the enormous expenditures Of the Eu-
ropean powers on war provisions. Dur
ing the six years between 1882 and 1888,
the expenditures Of the seven great Eu-
ropean powers on armies and navies
amounted to no less than 9974, 900, 900.
Since 1883 the average annual expendi-
ture has increased by one fifth. In
1882, when, with the exception OF Eng
lands small troubles in Egypt, the
whole world was at peace, serious ne
gotiatlons we're begun with view to a
general disarmament. Such course
would have been practicable then to q
degree to which in no period since it
has been even remotely possible. while
in the future the question cannot be for
moment entertained. There can be
no thought now of the reduction of the
huge garrisons of Europe save by tnat
natural process to which each year has
brought us nearer, but had the great

MINISTER EGAN has been severely
criticized FOR his conduct during the
CHILEAN revolution. It is charged that
his sympathy With the characteristics
has brought down upon his head the
anamosity Of fine yictors. Again it is
asserted that BaIlnaceda insulted and
Quarrelei with the American Minister.
So we can best arrive at a just and rea-
sonable conclusion by accepting the
statement of the minister himself. He
was interviewed by New York Herald
CORRESPONDENT and emphatically denied
engaging in nitrate schemes; that he
attended TO bis duties without fear or
favor, and that he used every possible
means to protect the'}i lives OF American
citizens and preserve the dignity OF the
United States government. It will be
rem embered that the English are quite
strong in Chill and for reasons that are
obvious have strong dislike for the
American Minister aud have frequently
attempted to interfere with him in the
discharge of his official business.

THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.

Mr.. Ignatius Donnelly's reflections on
the object Of the harvest festival now in
course OF preparation, has called forth
The just indignation of the citizens OF
Minneapolis. MIR. Donnelly has stu
pidly stated that the harvest festival is
designed TO make it appear that the
wheat crop is SO immense as to force
down prices thus enabling the miliers to
purchase their wheat cheap. Mr.. Don
nelly must be losing his ingenuity. His
views in this matter will not increase the
number OF his farmer friends, an en-
deayoy he is extremely Interested in now
from a political standpoint. Celebrat.
ing the in-gathering OF the bounteous
Northwestern harvest is not decreasing

advertisement Of God s kindness to. our
farmers, and net d scheme to put dol

MARRIED WOMEn AS TEACHERS.

Why should not married lady teachers
be employed in the public schools OF
Minneapolis? What is the real sense OF
thosa who oppose their employment?
The married woman. unless her heart is
as cold as northern glaciers is the best
teacher of children, she can accommo-
date their childish whims, she Can ex-
empt temporary raehness, for the sake
of intoxicating in pupils minds honest
purposes. a motherly instinct is hers .
she understands the grand and eloquent
truth III Christ's love for the little ones.
The bsrbariaas OF His time, in conscl-
entioas Justice submitted to His will in
this lovely sublime and affecsionate re-
gard for the little ones. Has not His
love for children an ecumenical trans
mission to mothers? Who, then, are bet
ter adapted to INSTRUCT the young? Are
the men who oppose married ladies act
ing rs teachers in our public schools
actuated by the principle OF cent for
sermon?-the cent supersedlng the SER
mon. We hope not. We must not dis.
crimiuate between the unmarried and
married teacher. Both will do justice to
their calling, but The IRISH STANDARD
believes that the married lady teacher,
is as worthy if not more SO, to act as
school teacher than the unmarried one.

RUSSIAN AND IRISH DESPOTIsM.

The Gael of Brooklyn, says: cit may
not be known by the general reader that
the nlhjlists of Russia are of the same
class of society as the Irish Orange
landlords. When the present czar's
father freed the serfs (the peasantry)
and made them owners of the lands
which we're rented from the landlords,
they (the landlords) threatened VEN
geance, just as the Orangenen vowed
that they would kick the queens crown
into the Boyne were Home Rule granted
to Ireland" No more of this Mr.. Gael.
The father Of the present Russian car
never freed the Russian peasantry. 1t
was but az intention never carried out,
Russia's despotism towards ITS peasantry
is the sole creator of the nihilistic ten-
dency prevailing there, just as much as
English tyranny toward the Irish peo-
pie originated the different Irish pro-
tecuve societies anjustlY styled by that
country's haters barbarians, The Gael
must know that the light rad:ated from
the bonfres lit on Ireland's hills in
times past, reflected the crimes of Eng
lands servants in Ireland. The reflec-
1ion has passed across the Pacific and
Atlantic, the northern and southern
waters, has left its impression upon the
most remote lands. England had and still
has an able competitor in Russian tyr
amy. What Poland is to Russia, Ire
land is TIC England There is as much
difference between the nihilists Of Russia
and the Irish Orange landlords as there
IS between the whale and jack daw.
