some of these items are nearly official,
while others are necessarily only esti-
mates. The interest on the war debt is
from official statements for the period
from 1866 To 1892. The highest point
reached by the annual interest account
was in 1867, when it was S143. 7S1. 592.
Since then there has been a steady
yearly decrease until. in 1892. it amount
ed to S23, 1873. 116. Interest for 1893 is
estimated at $780, 600. 900. The item of
pensions shows a steady annual increase
from 1866. when it was S15. COS. 352. to
1898, when it mounts TO STAG. 7S7, $3.50.
The total money cost of the war, as
represented by the foregoing figures, is
quite hey ond the power of the magma
tion to conceive, and these figures do
not take any account of the loss of life
and consequent decrease in the product
i've power of the Nation. That. how
ever, is an indirect expense, while the
foregoing table aims to present only the
actual cost. Yet, great as this was, no
person doubts that the result was worth
all it cost.

WHEN Judge Cox reproved a jury for
fixing a sentence altogether inadequate
to the %oifense he called to light that
very defective feature of the criminal
law of Indiana which vests the fixing of
the sentence In juries. Ii is this IN
wise provision which is responsible, in
go slight degree, for the inadequate en-
forcement of our criminal laws. In the
United States and in most of the States
the judge fixes the sentence-a function
for which he is much better qualified
than the average jury.
