WHAT MEN EARN.
It Pays Better to Re Maker OF War
Than a Preacher of Peace


Than a Preacher of Peace
1t has been said that the world pays
most to those who kill, generals and
great lords; next most to those who
amuse, singers and actors; while those
who preach, teach and write for the
papers come along somewhere near the
bottom of the list. There's a good
deal to bear out the theory, remarks
the New York Recorder. Marlbor-
ough, for his victories, got the mag
niicent estate of Blenheim and lots
besides. Wellington became extremely
wealthy. Napoleon's generals were
rewarded with crowns. Won Moltke
was made rich, and might have had
much more money if he had cared for
it. Even little Lord Wolseley has made
heap of money-second class wars.
The number of actors and singers
who have accumulated half million,
besides living expensively, is quite
large. Sir Walter Scott made as much
as that by his pen. Mr.. Gunter has
made nearly as much by lightweight
novels. Mark Twain has made more
than that ON his copyrights, and some
from investment. Bronson Howard
must soon reach the half-million mark.
Zola, Sardou and perhaps Daudet long
since passed it.
About the top notch OF income for a
New York law firm is S250.000 a year,
half OF which may go to the head man.
Some firms may run rather above this.
But the most responsible judgeships
pay only from $1,000 to $4,000.
Ex-President Grevy, of France, in the
Dreyfus guano case, received fee of
100000. The Lael1war of Baroda paid
$4,000 to Mr.. Paterson as a fee. Sir
Charles Russell once received So, 600 for
three hours work.
Methodist preachers in sparsely set
tied districts frequently receive SlOO
a year from each cf three churches,
preaching three times day.
Pupil teachers in British board
schools earn at first 2s. to 4s. week.
A Mexican peon gets 26 cents, up
ward; a Chinese or Indian coolie at
home or cents day.
Hard work on the Manchester ship
canal paid 6215 cents day. Chain
makers ON Cradley Heath and hobnail
makers at Bromsgrove, Eng, earn 81
To 81. so week by working overtime
and live on bread and tea.

WONDERFUL FlATs u MEMORY,
Some Minds Have a Facility for Retain
ing Certain Glasses OF Facts.

Among those who have performed
great feats of memory CasselPs Family
Mag gazine mentions DR.. Fuller, author
of the Worthless of England" He
eould eat another mans sermon
after hearing it once, and could repeat
five hundred words in an unknown
language after hearing them twice.
He one day undertook to walk from
Temple Bar to the fartheet end OF.
Cheapside and to repeat on his return
every sign ON either side of the way
in the order of their occurrence, and
he did it easily In such faats as this
the eye plays a chief part; yet blind
people also have good memories. Rev.
b. j. Johns, chaplain of the blind asy-
mm, London, testified that a large
number Of pupils learn the Psalter and
that one young man was there who
could repeat not only the whole of the
one hundred and fifty of the prayer
book Psalms and a large number of
metrical psalms and hymns, as well as
a considerable amount of modern
poetry, including Goldsmith's DE
serted Village" but the whole of ''AIil-
toms paradise Lost" with marginal
notes and Il biography. Lord Macau-
lay on one occasion repeated to him
self the whole of Paradise Lost"
while crossing the Irish channel At
another time, waiting in Cambridge
coffee-house for a post chaise, he
he picked up country newspaper
containing two political pieces-lone
the "Rehections of an Exile and the
other Parody on n Welsh Ballad
looked them once through. never gave
them a further thought for forty years,
and then repeated them without the
change Of single word Macaulay's
mind, some one has said, was like a
dredging net, which took in all that IL
encountered, both good and bad, nor
ever seemed to feel the burden. Very
much unlilve dredging net. and more
like strainer are the minds Of some
other persons who carefully select
what they will retain or haye a natu-
raj facility for remembering special
classes of facts-George Bidder for fig
ures, Sir w. Scott for verses, Mezzo-
fanti for languages.

Pressure sustainad ny Divers.

A veteran submarine diver, in relat-
ing some anecdotes concerning the
bottom of the sea and its inhabitants,
gives some interesting figures as to the
amount Of pressure the body of the
diver is subjected to. At depth Of
only one hundred feet the pressure is
forty-four pounds to each square inch
of the divers surface. The ordinary
human frame has about twelve square
feet of surface, which would make the
pressure at the depth mentioned above
not less than thirty-eight tons. This
enormous weight is not all pressing.

nrericn.s Early Foundation.

Everywhere about the valleys of New
Mexico, invariably upon eminences,
and usually upon high flat-topped
mesas or table hills, are the ruins Of
houses of the ancient semi-civilized
Indian population that lived here and
titled the soil before the coming of the,
Spaniards, four centuries ago. The,
numbers Of this old population can be
only vaguely inferred by the numerous.
cobblestone foundations of their,
houses, still well defined above the SUR.
face Of the ground, and by the debris
of the fallen walls which constitute
hillocl5s, grass-grown and intermixed
with occasional old stone utensils and,
countless fragments Of pottery. This
pottery, when turned up by the spade,
is found to be handsome and varied IN,
color and as fresh of tint as it conld
have been when the village was de-.
stroyed or abandoned and every tradi-
ton OF its existence lest in prehistoric,

When 1t Was Secured They Gould NOS
Safe Tire II.
The rulers of the miniature republic
Of AndoTa decided recently that the
country should possess a cannon.
Krupp, therefore, was ordered to man-
ufacture one of the most modern type.
The great gun arrived Mt its mountain
destination q short time ago, and, was
placed on the highest point in the
country so that the citizens could
see that the valley was well protected.
A day was appointed to try the can
non, which was able to send ball
eighteen lSilometers. Just as the two
artillerymen OF Andorra were ready to-
fire it occurred to one of the prudent
citizens that the shot might cause some
trouble. The territory Of the republic
Andorra does not extend over more
than six kilometers. To direct the
shot, therefore, toward the surround
ing mountains would be the same as
firing on France or Italy, as the ball
would necessarily fall on the territory of
one OF these countries. A warmight be
the result. 1t was then decided toshoot
the ball in the air, but some one sug-
g-sted that it would endanger the lives
OF TOO many people in its descent, and
possibly bore great hole in the re-
public of Andorra. Good council pre-,
vailed and the two artillery men were
commanded to unload the gun. The
shot has not yet been fred, and thes
good republicans are uncertain what
to do with tie expensive gun.

THE cheap money mongers at
tach much Importance to the word
"coin" in Secretary Carlisle's prof
fer of the $5O,OOO,OOO loan. They
pretend that this phrase would
give the government the option of
redeeming the loan in gold or sill
yer. How often must this old
straw be thrashed over again :?
Hundreds of millions of bonds re-
deemable in "coin" have been sold
for gold, and have been paid, prin-
cipal and interest, in gold. The
cheap money champions have re-
versed the principle over which
they are contending. When bonds
are sold for gold the option wheth-
er payment shall be made in gold
or silver is with the public credi-
tor, not with the Government. If
a Secretary of the Treasury should
impose silver upon tho public cred
itor against his will the pledge of
the law of Congress to maintain
the parity of the two metals would
be broken and the credit of the
Government destroyed.

A Foolish Suit.

1t appears that the two knights
of Labor, Messrs. Sovereign and
Hay es, have retained Senator AL
len, of Nebraska, to appear in Court
tn contest the power of Secretary
Carlisle to issue the proposed $780,
0UC,000 gold loan. Allen is the Po-
pulist Senator who talked for fif-
teen hours at Il stretch against the
repeal of the silver purchasing
clause of the sherman act. If he
could once get into Court he might
babble until the time for issuing
the gold loan should have expired.
But there is the rub! This foolish
brace of knights of Labor may ask
for writ of injunction; but no
such process can be employed to
suspend the regular administra-
tion of the laws.
The emission of these bonds is
to be made by Secretary Carlisle
under the responsibility of his Of
flee and by virtue of public law
put upon the statute book nearly
twenty years ago. If Secretary
Carlisle should swantonly exceed
his,authority and violate the law
there wOuld7be a way to punish
himsand to strip him of his Office
by impeachment. But if a writ of
injunction could be sued out upon
every imaginary violation of a
law, and its operation suspended
until judicial decision as to its
validity could be obtained, the
Courts would be choked with frivo.
lous suits and the regular admin
istration of the Government would
be utterly paralyzed. There is not
a law of Congress that could not
be suspended by some litigious fell
low until Judgement upon writ
of injunction should be obtained in
the Courts.
If the Don Quixote of the knights
of Labor should waste any money
of the organization in paying fees
to lawyers for bringing so absurd
suit his official life as General
Master Workman WOuld he of
short duration. These bonds will
be issued, and the gold will be in
the Federal Treasury long before
the adjudication of
the question, even if these suitors
should obtain a standing in the
Courts. Once issued, and in the
hands of public creditors, their
validity would be beyond dispute.

THE bitterness of political war
fare has seldom been carried to

tempt of the opponents of Demo-
cratic administration to defeat the
effort of the Secretary of the Treas
ury to sell . per cents bonds with
which to maintain the credit of the
Government and to tide over in
safety an emergent condition for
which the party in power is in no.
wise responsible. This is carrying
partisanship beyond the bonds of

Gov. Beaver Talks.

Ex-Governor Beaver, of PENN, a
Republican of Republicans, is quot
ed as having made use of the fol-
lowing language:
To be candid, don't believe this
depression in business is the re-
suit of Democratic policy. This
wave of business depression WAS
coming, and it is only the good
fortune of -the Republicans that
the Democrats got in power in
time to be caught by it. 1t is one
of those periodical depressions that
regularly affect the country, and
nothing could have avoided it. /
don't believe the Democrats or
their policy have anything to do
with it. 1t would have come any
how, and If Harrison had been
elected 1t might have been even
worse.
II Beaver unburdened himself
In this manner it may be confident
ly expected that Quay will be afl-
or him with a double-barreled COM
mand, the gist of which will be a
repetition of his famous advice of
several years ago.
Mr.. Beaver states only what
avery unprejudiced thinker knows
10 be a fact when he says he does
not believe hardtimes are caused
by Democratic policy. He does
not ~ far enough however. He
should have stated that they were

The Coffin in the Wilson Bill.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Every free trade article in and
every free trade amendment to the
Wilson bill is a nail in it's coffin.
This country is not ready to adopt
English laws, customs and polio
les. There is some Americanism
left yet. The radicals of the house
of representatives may run mad;
they may imagine that they can
destroy all the revenue features of
the tariff bill, make it a mere
bridge for free trade, and expect
chat they can provide the reven-
ues of the country from internal
and income taxes, while the money
of the country is carried out by
payments for goods made in foreign
countries, but they will not sue
ceed. The senate is the conserva-
tor of the credit of the country and
must rise to the defense of our in
dustries. They will never consent
to bill which is as false In prin-
ciple and as full of Inconsistencies
and as destitute of all idea of hon
esty and fair dealing as the Will
son bill.
The proposition to put all sugar
on the free list'and thus destroy it
as a source of revenue is but part
of that fanaticisrn which seems to
control SO many members of the
house. Politics and not principle
seems to rule the house. Any
thing to drive out a particle of pro-
tection-even the ruin of the cred
1t of the country.
If there is any one thing that
can bear small tax and thus help
our own producers it is sugar. The
screed of free breakfast table is
but demagogy, and everybody
knows it. The very table is taxed
and the beef and -four before they
come into the house, and the sugar
is no more sacred than other prop.
erty. We contend for principle,
for equal and just taxation. Iftax-
ing products that are brought into
this country 80 per cent. gives 80
per cent. of protection, why not
say SO, and say it openly? 1t is no
less revenue tax because 1t affords
some protection. The Democratic
party never hesitated in all its his
tory to enact revenue law with
incidental protection, and 1t will
do IL in this congress before it gets
through. The senate will bring
the house to its senses. Money we
must have--we cannot run the
government without it. The bond
issuing business will come to an
end and the sooner the better. We
