ENGLAND'S WAR STRENGTH.
What British Statesmen and Soldiers Thinl
of Her Army and Navy.

What British Statesmen and Soldiers Think
of Her Army and Navy.
From The Irish Republic.
Duke of Connaught: "Half the men
are not able to carry their kit. We
have not a single infantry battalion at
home, except the guards and they are
all like lemon when the juice is
squeezed out of it, and unfit in every
way to take the field. To resist an
invader we should have to keep all the
many immature men in the ranks and
do the best we could. The main causes
of this inefficiency are the youth and
limited training of these troops, the
need of stiffening by the presence of
old soldiers in the ranks, and the mex
perience of the non-commissioned
officers"
Duke of Cambridge: "It is doubtful
| if We could even mobilize single army
corps at short notice, and Lord Wolse-
ley questions whether we have got the
necessary stores and equipments for
even this modest force"
Lord Charles Beresford "We have
no army except what is necessary for
frontier police force for our scattered
dominions, and our existence as an
empire would in no degree whatever
depend upon the strength of the army,
though its numbers were 10 times as
great as at present. \ II The relative
conditions of our fleet and that OF
France absolutely prove that we have
no reasonable argument to adduce for
considering that we could defend our
coast, food supply, etc., against France
alone"
Captain Gambler, Royal Navy: "The
conviction cannot be evaded that
among the chief reasons why our
foreign policy is dangerous, is that we
have no army to defend our shores
and carry out our foreign obligations.
I believe we are courting a great ma
tional disaster by not forcing this
question: disaster in the form ofloss
of maritime prestige-for England
would certainly not be able to send out
fleet from home ports sufficient TO
strike great blow, leaving our homes
unprotected. Its idle bunkum to talk
of our Mediterranean fleet being able to
cope single handed with combination
of France and Russia against us, when
there is nothing to prevent the entire
French army, Atlantic and Mediter-
ranean, from being united. Here it is
necessary to emphasize the incontro'
vertible fact that our military unpre-
paredness is the chief cause of our
weakness abroad. The naval force we
are compelled to keep in home water
and in the Mediterranean, is the price
we pay for keeping only an army of
samples, for we have no second line of
defense worthy of the name. Cont.
mental nations have geographical
expression for frontier, few sticks
stuck here and there, but their mum
hood is enrolled in their own defense,
whereas England, with a ditch 25
miles wide, is literally more easily
invaded than Germany or Switzerland,
and our manhood recognizes no respon-
sibility."

THE SEMI-WEEKLY EDITIONS
are issued on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Each edition contains all the more impor-
tant county, State and general happenings
close up to date, and differs most material

no interest in this section, and condenses
into short and convenient space the gist
ofimportant happenings in such manner
as to give the reader the greatest amount
of information with the least amount of
reading. The size Of each edition is gov
erned by the amount of important matter
to be published ; but it is never less than
twentv-four columns, and always contains
more live news than any other paper pub
lished in this section.
THE WEEKLY EDITION is intended
especially for those subscribers who find
it inconvenient to get to the postoffice at
frequent intervals, and who prefer their
weekly reading in one paper. 1t is Of the
same size and shape as formerly, contains
all the news Of the sem-weekly, and such
happenings of importace as may develop
after the semi-weekly has been published.
1t will give the readers complete and
comprehensive review Of the happenings
of the week, and keep them as well inform

SLY JOHN SHERMAN.
The Benedict Arnold of the United
States Senate.

The Benedict Arnold of the United
States Senate.
Senator Sherman in his late public
speeches has declared himself as be-
ing opposed to the retirement Of the
greenbacks. The National Bimetallist
commenting thereon expressed the be-
lief that he made the declaration mere
ly as a matter of policy, and that he
could be safely counted on the side
of the money power all the time. His
resolution looking to the preservation
of the gold reserve and providing that
when greenbacks are redeemed, they
shall be reissued for gold, fully con-
firms that belief. The resolution is sim
ply an attempt to do by stealth what
he does not dare do openly. To say that
the greenbacks shall only be reissued
for gold is equivalent to saying that
they shall not be reissued at all. Under
existing conditions nobody would give
gold for them The men who control
practically the entire mass of gold in
the country, are the very ones who are
vociferously demanding the retirement
of the greenbacks The idea that these
men would exchange gold for green
backs is absurd Mr. Sherman and the
whole republican party had better heed
the sharp word of warning that comes
from the Chicago Inter Ocean. In its
issue of January 2, that paper says;
Does John Sherman really think The
country would tamely submit to such
a radical monetary revolution? The
hook is baited with a merited attack
on the democratic revenue law, but Its
barb is none the less plainly visible
The American people have had enough
decentralization on the sly" "Demone.
tiZation on the sly" Is not that pretty
sharp? But it Is absolutely true, never
theless. The resolution not only means
the permanent retirement of the green
backs, but 1t means the gold STANDARD
pure and simple. 1t is distinct recog
milton Of that standard, and in effec
declaration that 1t must be main

William E. Curtis, writing recently
from Japan to the Chicago Record, said
with regard to the use of silver in ia
pan: Speaking as one who does not
believe in silver money nor bimetallism
unless it be universally adopted and all
the nations of the earth agree to- main
tain the value of silver, must, never
theless, admit that it is the uniform
testimony of all concerned that the de-
mcnetization of the white metal by the
repeal of the Bland law in the United
States and the suspension of coinage IN
India was a great thing for Japan.
"A few theorists, arguing from the
standpoint of what ought to be instead
Of what is, insist that japan shall join
England (the Latin Union) and the
United States in an International agree
ment to maintain a certain parity be-
tween the metals, but it is by no means
a popular idea. They are college pro-
fessors, minority members of Parlia-
ment, idle men who think and read
a great deal and do nothing, and others
who are entirely without practical eX-
perience or a knowledge of trade and
industry. Most of them nave been edu-
Gated in England and have got their
financial notions from reading the
! Times and the Economist. The solid,
! wise men, who are governing the en-
| pire, say: No, let the debtors and the
creditors of Europe aud America fight
| it out, Meantime we will saw wood.
| The longer England holds to a single
standard the better twill be for Japan.
We have no foreign debt. We owe
nothing abroad. Therefore we do not
have to buy gold to pay interest
charges. The import tradeis nearly all
in the hands of foreigners, and we don't
care how high foreign manufactured
merchandise is. Cotton, iron and flour
will stay down in sympathy with sill
yer and it would be a good thing if
nothing but raw material were import
ed into Japan
You will notice that India, Japan,
Mexico and other silver countries are
rot only much more prosperous than
the gold countries Of Europe, but their
domestic industries are greatly stimu-
lated. In fact, financial and commerce
al depression is almost universal except
where there is nothing but silver
cney."-Public Opinion.
Mr.. Curtis is a very able writer and
adds much TO the attractiveness of tbs
columns of the Chicago Record. The
only mystery is how any man of his
ability can so clearly recognize the de-
preston of gold standard countries, the
prosperity of silver standard countries
and still be a gold bug" The only
explanation to be offered is that he i:
! willing to set up and rely upon the mere
theory of Sound money" as it il
called, in opposition to undeniablt
facts.

Estimates of the European beet sugar

Estimates of the European beet sugar
crop vary so widely from MONTH to
month that it is difficult to rely upon
them; but there is consensus of
opinion that this years crop will not
amount TO more than 4,ooo, 900 tons, if
so much" This will mean reduction
on last year of about $4,000 tons, "and
as the production of cane sugar in Gu
ba is certain to be diminished, on &C
count of the revolution, while the West
Indian crop, generally is said to be
smaller, stocks in E rope are likely to
be material reduced IL the next few
months. 1t is noticeable that the low
price of sugar this year has caused a
great increase in consumption, for, &C.
cording to German official statistics
the quantity of beets consumed in 1885,
amounts to 145,21O,395 cwt., as against
10s, 443,5 cwt. in 1894"
