THE Cs,sT OF war,

It is not encouraging to those who
believe in the coming OF time when
war shall be no more. to learn that at
present the worlds taxpayers support
armies at a cost of SS,OOOO0O day, and
that 3,7OO, 900 mon are withdrawn from
productive occupations to pose "a sol
diers. Yet such is declared to be fact
by writer in the Globe Democrat who
has searched the books for information
on the subject. His laborious re-
searches have brought to light many
interesting facts concerning the cost OF
war. which are sad commentary on
the rapaclty Of human nature and the
selHshness of man, individually and in
nations. The writer declares that with
the exception OF Belgium, whose debt
has been incurred for internal improve
ments, every European national debt is
in great part war debt. The wars of
the ninety years down to 1880 caused a
war expenditure Of s15, ,235, 100000 and
the loss of 4,47O,000 lives.
Or this vast burden the United States
have had to bear oonsideral portion.
1t is estimated that the cost to both
sides Of the civil war in this country
was Sc, 6,5O0,OoO,0OO. The revolution cost
the people Of this country Sl35, l93, ,7O3.
The war Of 1912 with Great Britain cost
us So, ,159,OO3.
Since the beginning Of the Christian
ora it is estimated that four billion hu-
man lives have been sacrificed to wars,
and the grand total Of the cost of wars
in that time is beyond comprehension.
The great problem Of the European
world to-day is that Of war. All the
nations are preparing for the coming OF
the next conflict, which all believe in
evitable. Peace congresses are annually
held near increased garrisons, and ad-
vocates of arbitration go homo and
make ready for battle. Coed people
pray for peace and store
additional powder supplies. And when
the next great European war is over
and the lines Of the map redrawn the
fires OF race hatred will be rekindled
and the flame Of revenge kept alive
against the day when it may break into
a raging conflagration. When war shall
be no more the millennium will be upon

The trappings of aristocracv have
still great charm for the Frenchmen,
even the most jealous of republicans.
There is considerable agitation in
France at present over the subject Of
uniform for the president, "habit de
ceremonie," they call it. Sensible man
that he is, President Carnot appears on
state occasions in plain evening dress,
ornamented by the red ribbon of the
Legion of Honor. On the occasion of
the recent visit OF the bedecked and
gorgeous Russian dignitaries it is
claimed that President Carnot, in strict
democratic dress, made poor showing,
and forthwith the impulsive Parsians
busy themselves with the invention OF a
rig that shall be at the same time cor
geous and not SAVIOR too much of the
attire Of kings. The average French
man is happiest when in fine feathers
and if he doesn't sport them himself he
likes to see others in them, especially if
they are OF rank and consequence. If
President Carnot successfully resists
the crusade for the gewgaws of royalty,
and persists in wearing the dress of a
gentleman, statesman and patriot, he
will serve the republic a good turn.

MONEY continues to pile up in the
New York banks and the accumulation
OF idle deposits is the greatest ever
known. This is partly due to the small
demand for money from interior banks,
owing to slackness Of business, and is
partly attributable to the disinclination
of capitalists to make Investments until
they can see further ahead. The sick
man, however we'll be feels, cannot re-
cover in day, and country does not
got over panic in month. The coun-
try was about ten months in getting up
from the panic of 1857, which in some
respects resembled that Of the present
year. Recovery from the panic of 1873
was slower, but that was panic follow
ing the initiation Of the war period and
shrinkaRe had to 60 on for three or four
years. There is every reason to believe
that the country will begin to see in
creased activity in the spring of 1894,
with steadily increasing prosperity until
another fall, when everything will be at
high tide.

The conviction Of prize fighter Of
the crime of riotous conspiracy in an In
diana court and the subsequent inflic-
tion Of sentence OF two years in the
penitentiary will meet with very general
commendation. Good people will also
regret very much the fact that Corbett
and Mitchell will be allowed to meet in
a bruising match in Florida. The crime
Of prize fighting is we'll defined by the
Indiana court as riotous conspiracy
and ls dangerous to public morals and
exceedingly bad in it's effects on the
boys and young men Of the country. 1t
should be outlawed in every civilized
community.

A PRoHIB1TIoNIsT friend writing to
The INDEPENDENT regarding the case
Of Robert Camp, highwayman. assumes
that the saloons are accountable for
Camps second fall. These places, he
argues, are chiefly responsible for the
production Of our criminal classes,
There is no evidence that young Camp
got his lessons in vice in this way, but
if he did the discussion OF that question
would not now be relevant. There is
one practical suggestion in our friends
letter, and that is that refuge for re-
leased prisoners be established some
where near the penitentlary.
The causes of crime are too deep and
too intricate for newspaper discussions.
Questions OF heredity. natural tendency
and environment all have to be consid-

cred and on each Of these subjects vol.
umes are written. For present pur-
poses prison aid society, similar to the
organizations in some OF the older states,
is needed in Montana. There ought "a
be IN organization to take an interest
in discharged prisoners, to help them to
their homes, il they have any, or to get
friends to assist them, or to find EN-
ployment for men who desire TO earn an
honest living. It wouldn't take much
money or time to attend to all such
cases in Montana.

EDITOR DANA, Of the New York Sun,
who was long associated with Greeley,
asserts that it is mistake to suppose
that the handwriting Of the founder OF
the Tribune was so bad that printers
made sorry work with it. On the con-
trnry he says "Mr. Greeley's proofs we're
habitually The cleanest in the Office
There is no doubt Of that. If they had
not been it would have been bad for the
unlucky compositors, and they knew it.
