ENGLAND has concluded to spend
S35, 100000 more upon it's navy be-
cause it has been found that France
and Russia are getting ahead of it
in naval matters France and Russia
will spend large sums 10 the same di-
rection, and millions will be spent up
on the armies of Europe by other
countries. In the meantime, the
times grow harder with the poor class
es, and they are almost literally
ground into the earth by the NUM-
Tins and. trappings Of war. Peace in
Europe is being purchased at fearful
price-a price which is hurrying many
a nation there toward the preclpice
Of bankruptcy and arousing the spirit
of anarchy among the people.
No wonder many are caused
to pause and wonder what our
closing nineteenth century civiliza-
tion is bringing US to.

HE Investigations for coal near
Redwood Falls still continue, and it is
claimed by coal mining experts that
the outlook for good quality of coal
is most promising, and that indica-
tions are that it will be found in quau-
titles which will warrant operations
on a most extensive scale. Mank9 to
is greatly interested in this coal inves-
tigation, and INDUCES in the hope that
the result of the inveStiga lions now
being made will fulfill every expectan-
cy. The finding of an abundance Of
coal In that locality means much to this
western country, and at no point does
1T mean more than it does TO Manka-
To. Cheap fuel would mean an extern
sion or our manufacturing interests
by the enlargiDg of those already in
operation, and the encouraging Of 9TH
erS TO locate here. With cheap fuel
at its command, Mankato could offer
Inducements to capital seeking invest
ment which would be hard to dupli-
cate in the northwest, and if Redwood
proves to be situated on top Of vast
coal fields, that fuel is close at hand.
1t is, indeed, fortunate that the inter.
ests there have passed into the hands
of energetic and enterprising men
who have plenty of capital behind
them, and who will conduct all inves-
tigatlons on broad guage plan which
will efectually settle the question as
to whether there is OF is not coal in pay
ing quantities there. In the meantime
Mankato will watch for the result of
the operations with interest.

IT is claimed that the Children'S
Endowment Society will be able to
pay it's policy holders sixty per cent.
of their holdings. The schedule of
liabilities filed with the court shows
$250,0O0, with assets amounting to
$4,000 The table of liabilities, as
made up, is on the amount paid in. If
it were made up on the face value of
the policies held, it would amount to
about S3,500,000, and the resources
would be but drop in the bucket.
The returns to the stockholders, COM
pared with the face value Of their pol
icies, would be about five per cent.
However, it is held by the assignee
that the society is in the nature Of
cooperative or mutual insurance COM
pany, and that each policy holder is a
stockholder,. the face value Of the
stock issued being the total ca?i'4l
stock, and the amount paid on The
share being the paid-in capital. On
this basis, he believes that no more
equitable method than the one follow
ed could have been devised.

THERE is possibility Of lively
time in the circles Of New York De-
mocracy this coming year. 1t is said
the Cleveland Democracy will insist
upon the nomination of Hornblower
for governor as vindicatiOn of his
rude turning down by the senate. OF
course the Hill wing will never con-
sent to this, If the program is insist
ed upon it will surely mean Repub-
lican governor, although the chances
in view of the general blunders of
Democracy, are fairly good as it is,
for Republican success.

MIR. DoNNELLY' has always posed
as poor man and champion of the

state. No man has b. en- more bitter

in spite of this report comes that the
senator and his family have taken up
quarters for the winter at the Ryan,

THE HOUSE AND THE TARIFF.

So far as the customs portions of
the Wilson bill is concerned, debate
closed Saturday night, AMI all chance
for further amendments was shut off
The first three days of this week will
be spent in discussing the internal
revenue measure, which the Demo
Gratis have decided to make part Of
the tariff bill. This includes the in-
come tax feature. Against this clause
there is violent opposition in the
Democratic ranks. The eastern Dem
Ocrats are almost TO man against it
while the southern and western Dem.
ocrats are in favor of il. 1t is posi-
bic that the Democratic opposition
TO the income feature, combined with
the Republican vote, might
defeat the placing of it as a rider to
the tariff bill, but the probabilities
are the Republicans will let the Dem
ocrats fight it out among themselves,
or else vote to so attach it hoping
that the whole bill may fall Of it's
own weight.
1t is admitted on all sides that if
the Wilson bill with the income clause
attached comes to a direct vote, it
will pass the house; but many Of it's
friends are afraid that before vote
can be obtained, motion to recon-
NIT will prevail, and the whole con-
glOmeration will be sent back to The
ways and means committee. 1t is
even intimated that the anti-income
tax Democrats would vote to strike
out the enacting clause and that with
Republican aid such a motion might
prevail. But it is the opinion of some
of the most shrewd members, hUwev-
er, that the bill will pass the house
when it comes to vote next Thurs
day, though it is generally admitted
that if the measure passes the senate
the income tax feature will be knock
ed out, and the tariff schedule largely
changed.
LII duUlCip dUiOu VI OuC nudl uClCdo
of the income tax clause, the single
takers, under the guidance of Henry
George, have framed a measure pro-
viding for the collection of $62, 622, $50
in direct tax upon laid values Of the
United States, to be apportioned
among the several states in proportion
to population. 1t provides for the as
sessment of the value OF land eXclu-
sive of improvement.
Thus it will be seen that the cranks
and theorists are having full play in
the house, and the more wild meas
ure is the greater enthusiasm it ere.
ates among certain classes of peanut
| statesmen.
Taken altogether, the week is bound
TO prove most interesting one in
congressional circles.
