Clothing an Army.

IL costs the British government So
250, 900 annually for eIothing furnished
its army all over the world. Each of
the foreign possessions, however. HIS
to pay back to a certain extent the
amount which the uniforms of troops
stationed or sent there have cost. and
this entails nu end Of complicated book
keeping
India, for instance, pays for the
clothing Of it, own troops, aud also for
the uniforms Of the men which Eng
land sends there. The latter item is
about $50, 900 annually. On the other
hand, when a regiment comes home
from India, that country has to be
paid back the full value of the clothes
they wear.
The government sells old and worn
out articles TO the secondhand dealers,
who, by the way, usually accumulate
fortunes in a short time. The value of
cast-oH clothes so disposed of Is about
$40, 900 yearly. The scraps remaining
after the uniforms have been cut out
also bring a matter Of $4,000 annu-
ally. In sll the authorities receive back
about 81 ,J0O, ,G00, thus reducing the to-
tai cost Of clothing the army to les
than 100000 year.
The best quality Of everything Il
used i'm the manufacture Of uniforms.
In fact, il is said they are too good FOR
durable wear. a huge factory in Pim-
lieo, London, makes a large share e
the furnishings, but vast quantities Of
foot and head gear are bought ready
made. Boots and leggings, for exam
PIE, cost 81, $500 and headdresses
$4,000.
The thogs 'nds Of miles Of flannel,
linen, calico, cloth, velvet, etc, the
millions Of buttons, the tons OF cotton
wool, the billions Of yards Of sewing
cotton, that are made into smart tun-
les, tidy trousers and warm shirts cost
81. II, 900. The wages paid for max
ing these up are over $500 a week.
Some of the salaries paid for this
branch are excellent for England. The
inspector Of clothing receives 5000
and his assistants s2, $50 apiece, and 30
on down the long list
But all this vast expense is probably
much less than the annual outlay that
France or Germany makes for keeping
its soldiers smart in appearance in
times of peace. Ia Germany, for ex-
ample, every man in the army il said
to have four complete suits of military
clOthing.-New York Journal.

Congress has attempted 10 deal with
this matter by legislation, the laws
passed for that purpose thus far have
proved Ineffective, not because of any
lack of disposition or attempt TO ell
force them, but simply because the
laws themselves, interpreted by the
courts, do not reach the difficulty.
If the insuiiiciencies of existing laws
can be remedied by further legislation
il should be done. The fact must be
recognized, however, that all Federal
legislation on this subject may fall
short of its purpose, because of inher-
ent obstacles, which, while making the
Federal authority supreme within its
sphere, has carefully limited that
sphere by metes and bounds which
cannot be transgressed. The decision
of our highest court on this precise
question renders it quite doubtful
whether the evils of trusts and monop-
olies can be adequately treated through
Federal action unless they seek direct
ly and purposely TO include in their OBJ
jects transportation or intercourse be
tween States or between the United
States and foreign countries.
at does not follow, however, that
this is the limit of the remedy that
may be applied. Even though it may
be found that Federal authority is not
broad enough to fully reach the case,
there can be no doubt Of the power Of
the several States TO act efiectually in
ghe premises, and there should be no
reason to doubt their willingness to ju-
diciousiy exercise such power.
"In concluding this communication
its last words shall be an appeal to the
Congress for the most rigid economy in
the expenditure of the money it holds
in trust for the people. The way to
perplexing extravaganza is easy, but
return to frugality is difficult. When,
however, it is considered that those
who bear the burdens of taxation have
no guaranty Of honest care save in the
fidelity of their public servants the du-
ty Of all possible retrenehmen!s is
plainly manifest.
"When our differences are forgotten
and our contests of political opinion
are no longer remembered, nothing in
the retrospect Of our public service will
be "a fortunate aud comforting rs the
recollection of official duty well per-
formed and the memory of constant
devotion to the interests of cur confid-
ing fellow -countrymen.

Thought the Kaiser Stupid.

An amusing little story about the
present emperor of Germany, Will
lam III. and Vienna coachman was
narrated at banquet lately given at
Vienna by some diplomatists, the mar
rator being himself well known and
prominent member of the corps di-
plomatic.
In the year 1857 the present Emper-
or William ii. of Germany, then
Prince William of Prussia, came to
Vienna, visiting his particular friend
and chum, the late Crown Prince Ru-
dolf of Austria. Joined by the Prince
of Wales, who was at that time also a
frequent visitor to the Vienna court,
the three princes took fancy TO ming
ie with the commons of the Vienna
population. Dressed in ordinary
clothes they visited places which are not
in the least regarded as suitable for
princely guests.
One day they entered hotel, bu, in
stead of going into the dining room
they walked into the "schwenme," u
place which answers in some degree to
the bar room of an American hotel in
this room coachmen and the servants
of the hotel guests take their meals.
The three princes took seats mt an
empty table, and listened, highly
amused, to fierce debate about poll
ties between several stout members of
that class of fashionable Vienna coach
men who are known all over Europe
as '.fesche Wiener fiaker." The dis
t:nction of those charioteers is a kind
of good natured -boldness and droll
familiarity toward their customers as
well as to perfect strangers.
After listening awhile Prince Will
lam put in a word, and soon was
drawn into the excited discussion.
Suddenly stout, red faced coach man
? 'hree
princes were seated, and, tapping
Prince William gently on the shoulder,
said, "Now, il you should ever have
anything to say in politics, you
wouldn't set Il river on fire, I'm sure ~

Famous Farmer Boys.

There are some people foolish enough
to laugh at the homely virtues of a
farm life. They are fortunately few,
and they are fortunately growing few
er. But it is well sometimes to look at
the list of great men who came up
from the farm-nOt all of them, for
that would fill Thousand volumes,
but some of the most able ones that
flash into mind in n moment. Nearly
three fourths of the men who have
been chosen by the people for the great
Offices of the nation are men who were
early familiar with wooded bills and
cultivated fields, says the Kansas City
Times; for example, Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield, Hamliu, Greeley, Tilden, Har
rison, Hayes, Blaine, and many Others
almost equally conspicuous in current
events or living memory. Among
journalists, Henry Watterson spent his
early life in rural Kentucky, and Mu-
rat Halstead was born and lived on a
farm in Ohio. w. II. Vanderbilt was
born in small New Jersey town, and
early engaged in the business of ship
chandlery. II i,sel ) age was born in a
New York village. Jay Gould spent
his early years on his fathers farm in
New York STATE. Whittier and How
ellis spent their youth in villages, the
former diviiing his time between farm
employment aud his studies. Follow
the list out yourself, and see how long

For President,

President Cleveland has vetoed the
river and harbor bill. He claims that
when the contracts are completed that
will reasonably have 10 be, the amount
expended will reach $62,0O0,0O0 outside
the regular appropriations. We are in
clined to think that congress should have
made the regular appropriations for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, and
then let the matter rest. There is no
doubt but what the disbursementisneces-
sary to place the harbOrs in the condition
that they should be, but until some ar
rangement is made to increase the reve-
nues sufficient to meet our expenses, no
steps should be taken to increase
our expenditures. For the comingyear the
disbursement for harbOr improvements
will reach $20,000,000. Now ii we
created the debt we would have to borrow
the money to pay it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
A Weekly Budget of Interesting News
from the Capital.

A Weekly Budget of Interesting News
from the Capital.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-While no for
NAL action has been taken as to the date
of adjournment it is easy for Old-timers
to see that senators and representatives
are expecting adjournment in a few
days. Unless Mr.. Cleveland shall, in the
vote message he is now preparing on the
river and harbor bill, attempt to attack
congress in such manner as to provoke
reply, it is probable that next week
will be the last week Of the session. It
IL regarded as certain, no matter what
position Mr.. Cleveland may take that the
river and harbor bill will be passed over
his veto. If he contents himself with
vetOeing it without scOlding congress the
bill will merely be quietly passed over
the veto, without discussion; but if he
does otherwise there will bo discussion
and plenty of it before the bill is passed.
The senate voted down senator Dub
Ois' proposition for an additional tax of
70 cents barrel on beer.
Chairman Pickler, of the house COM
mittee on invalid pensions, has reported
favorably to the house from that COM
mittee a service pension bill. This bill
provides that every hOnOrably discharged
soldier and sailor who served ninety days
or longer during the late war shall re-
ceive SO month, one cent a month ad-
ditional for each day exceeding ninety
that he served. Estimates differ as to
how much money would be required to
put this bill into effect, the most con-
servatiye putting it in the neighborhOod
of SIC, 100000 year. The friends of the
bill say their is no intention to push it
at the present session, and that it has
been reported so as to allow the people a
chance to discuss it and express their
views upon it before it comes up for final
action, at the next session.
The house followed the recommended
tiOn of the ways and means com
mittee and passed the bill repeating
the clause Of the tariff law which
provided for the admission of alcohol
to be used in the arts and in man
ufactures, free of duty, by vote of 165
to 50, and it expected that the senate
will also pass it before adjournment.
Treasury experts declared the clause to
be so drawn that it could not be enforced
and no attempt has ever been made to en-
force it.
