LAST Sunday was the seventy
seventh birthday of Great Britain's
honored queen and the event, as usual,
was most appropriately and enthusiast
ticaliy celebrated in our neighboring
city of Victoria, named in honor of
cher most gracious majesty" over half
a century ago. No sovereign who ever
wore the crown of England, or any
other crown, ever set wOr:hier exam
pie to loyal people during long life
which has had its full share of domes-
tic trouble than Queen Victoria. Dur
ing her long reign, which has covered
more than half the period of constisu-
tional government in the United States
her name has become known and hon
ored wherever the English tongue is
spoken, and So thoroughly are her
many virtues appreciated in this great
land that Americans generally, even
though they have inherited from their
forefathers strong dislike for the
English policy of government, are
ready always to heartily join their
English cousins in singing "God Save
the Queen"

NATIONAL DEBTS.

The rapid increase OF our ha''oh'
debt during the past few years, unde
the Democratic policy of protection t'
foreign instead of domestic industries
has very naturally called forth many
unfavorable comments from the press
and the people, and it is one of the
most important of the several causes
which have led to the decentralization
and dislntegration of the Democratic
party. So much Is said and written
about the financial obligations of tie
United States to England that the
masses of our people are probably not
aware that the British national debt is
more than seven times as large, per
capita. as that of the United States,
and that reckoning OH the same basis our
debt is less than half that of Russia,
whose per capita Indebtedness Is con-
siderably less than half that of any
of the other great nations of Europe.
The great increase in the debts of most
of the European nations during the
past decade has been very largely
chargeable to the enormous expense of
the maintenance of their vast mill
tary and naval organizations. Accord
ing to the Post-Intelligencer it is COM
puted by a French writer that in the
ten years ending in 1895, the debts OF
twenty-one European countries have
increased in the aggregate from 1Ol,-
100000 francs to III 1866, 900, 900
francs. Most of the increase he thus
divides among the great powers of the
continent:
Francs.
Russia ............... ,.........7 ,54l ,000, 900
germany ifo'OOO.oOO
,zIS,OUU,VUU
Italy L,Slf,OUu,oVO
Austria Hungary. ........l, ,VV,UVV
The six European countries most deep
~ indebted in 1895 were:
France, 26, 799, 0O0, 900 francs, or 69S per
inhahitant.
England, 1872, 600 francs, or 4ls per
Russia, is, 767, OOo, 900 francs, or lel per
inhabitant.
Germany, 1922, 900 600 francs, or 2s6
per inhabitant.
Austria Hungary, 14,O2l ,OOO, 900 francs,
or 33S per inhabitant.
Italy, 1884, 200, 900 francs, or Alb per in
habitant.
In the census of the United States
for 1890 its Indebtedness was given as
S915, 962,1l2. 1t has turned the point
which makes it over 1000, 200, 900, or
about 10000 900 francs.
England has been reducing her in
debtedness in the past decade by 2,244
900, 900 francs, according to the French
authority. Spain had reduced hers 10y
1914, 100000, but the war in Cuba will
increase it again. Denmark is the only
other country which has materially
reduced its debt, and that by 23,0O0,-
900 francs.
The better method of comparison is
by per capita distribution of the debt
and that shows the following proper

THE ISLANDER last week published
q communication from East Sound
severely criticising the board of teach
ers' examiners for having refused to
endorse teachers certificates "granted
In other counties by boards fully as
competent as themselves to arrive at
facts" While it may be true that
there is some cause for complaint it is
not true that the members arrogateGi
to themselves any 'unwarranted au-
thority" if they refused to endorse GER
tificates granted in other counties.
The authority for such refusals is pl,in-
~ implied in the section of the law
which provides that "the county hoard
may, at its discretion, endorse certiti-
Gates from other counties in this state
for the unexpired term thereof. The
law presumes that the vesting of this
discretioAin the various county boards
OF examiners is q protection rather
than an injnry to resident teachers.
Ia our Judgment the wisdom of the
provision may we'll be questioned.
There can be no doubt that the arhi-
trary exercise of the authority given
10 the examining boards i'm this respect
often works serious hardship upon
deserving teachers and that it not in
frequently deprives districts of the ser
vices of more competent teachers than
they would always be able to get If
their choice were limited to a single
county, and especially small county
like this where the standard OF school
supervision Is by no means high. The

| A MARKET gardener on the jersey
coast is raising fruits and vegetables
for the New York market by means VI
electricity. His greenhouse and gardt n
are underlaid with electric wires and
the application of strong current OF
electricity is said to act as a powerful
| stimulus to growth. At night strong
arc lights are suspended over the beds
aud the various products of the soil I'M
der cultivation keep right on growing
as they would in the sunlight. 1t is
said that the electricity not only great
ly stimulates rapidity of growth but
that it increases the size and yield of
the products from forty to sixty per
cent. This will generally be regarded
as the practical application in a new
field of The greatest force of the nine
teenth century, but it can hardly be ex-
pected that the average farmer will at
once hail the innovation as all unmixed
blessing. 1t may be that the time is
not far distant when an electric plant

class farm equipment near tile great
cities of the east, but it Will doubtless
be some years yet before farmers on
this coast will need to worry about it.
IT would be fine fun to electrocute cat
erpillars and apllis, and shock the Gull
ming crows that flock into the fields
during seed time and harvest and the
birds that pillage the fruit trees in the
fall, but as the sport would not be
without its dangers to lives more
precious than the pests of the e.rth

most places for long time to come,
wit, nothing more dangerous than
shot-guns and spray pumps to menace
them.
