purposes during the year 1894 by the

of dollars invested in fortifica tions, ships

borrowed by the civilized governments of

means of defense and to support armies,
nor does it include the hundreds of mil

of military emergency. The amount of

The Trouble in the Salvation Army.

As nearly as can be ascertained, the
trouble in the Salvation army which
has resulted in the resignation of Cen
eral and Mrs. Ballington Booth arose
from a lamentable misconception of the
American spirit by the commander-in-
chief of the parent, or English. organi
cation, and his advisers. In England
the army's disciplinSliis exceedingly
strict and implicit obedience is not only
demanded but secured. AS result of
this thorough subordination of the
English rank and file. the army i'm Eng
land partakes Of the nature of the
ocracy, with the elder Booth as a good
methods.
But the sBo9th, ably guided
by his admirable wife, perceived at an
early period in his American regency
that to attempt to organize an army in
America along the lines which had
proved successful enough in Great Bri-
tain would be to restrict the personnel
Of the army within limits far too mar
row for effective work; and would drive
away the very classes whom It was
most desirable to enlist. He. there
fore. adopted broader and more liberal
methods. which, while eminently sue
cessful here, We're misunderstood in
England and gave ground for suspicion
as to the fidelity of his purposes. 1t
seems singular that between father and
son, both Of wide spiritual and mental
horizon. such a misunderstanding could
arise; but the explanation which we
have given Is taken from authentic
sources. and probably closely approxi-
mates to the truth.
Yet the disagreement, after all. is
typical Of a class common in more fields
than that Of religious activity. 1t is
suggestive Of two -nntithetical human
tendencies, everywhere in evidence,
one to fit the coat to the man, and the
other to fit the man to the coat. We, in
this generation. have. for example, seen
in Catholic ecclesiastical policy the tri"
umph of the former over the latter ten
dency, "a illustrated In the supremacy
of the Archbishop Ireland and Cardinal
Gibbons school .0ysrs the school headed
by Archbishop, Corrigan. With pres
cient sagacity the vatican has inclined
toward the more liberal American
wing; and it would doubtless be to the
Salvation army's distinct advantage If
at its head there were more of the pru-
dent diplomacy And far-sightedness
which characterize the headship of con-
temporary Catholicism.
Is the Republican tPsm) going to ac-
cept the Truths $500 challenge, or is it
going to rest under the odium of having

To a "OOld.Bug" Organ.

The Chicago Times-Herald is an able
paper which has battled so strenuously
against free silver coinage on the
economic frontier of this monetary dis
cussion that. like a good many other
worthy pioneers, It has become head
strong and illiberal. 1t has actually
worked itself up to the point of conceiv-
ing a violent antipathy for silver as a
coinage metal, and is apparently ready
to club any man who SO much as hints
at International bimetallism as desir-
able future possibility.
1t is now training it's guns on Speaker
Reed, for having suggested another in
ternational monetary conference, for
the purpose of arriving at such an UNI
derstanding among the nations favor
able to bimetallism as would ultimately
force the gold monometallc nations in
to the bimetallic camp. This sugges-
tion IL year and a half old. Mr.. Reed
offered it, tentatively, in an article
printed at least eighteen months ago
in O British journal of economies. We
are surprised that the Times Herald
had not learned of 1t earlier and should
therefore jump to the foolish conclu-
sion that it is merely campaign dodge.
II the Times Herald will take a poll
Of the worlds best thinkers. it will dis
cover that the single-metallists. wheth-
er favoring gold or silver, are in a
marked minority as compared with
those who believe in a conjunction of
the two precious metals by internation-
al compact. These bimetallists are not
scoundrels. They are not debt-repudi-
ators. They are not cheats. They are
men of brains and character who be-
lieve, after due study and deliberation
that the civilization which restricts its
currency base to any one metal takes
needless risks with the welfare Of the
common people. and puts dangerous
power into the hands Of the profession
