The Metric System. /.

The Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures of the federal House OF
Representatives has been considering
a bill for the adoption OF the metric
system of weights and measures,
which, originating in France has been
adopted in many other countries. The
Louisville Courier-Journal in speaking
OF it says: The bill proposes to make
the new system mandatory in all the
official transactions after July l, 1899.
One OF the great troubles about ouI
present system is that we have SO
many words that do not express any
thing definite. We have three sorts
of pounds, though two OF them express
the same weight, three sorts OF ounces,
great variety Of bushels when con-
sidered in connection with their weight
equivalent; several kinds of gallons,
many sorts of barrels, and 60 on.
Then there are miles and leagues
which express different lengths in diff.
ferent countries, and so of feet. As to
foreign weights and measures, it re-
quires an expert to convert them to
their equivalents in the United States.
Still it is very doubtful whether a
change would be acceptable to the
people. After it was made we should
hear no more Of inches, feet, furlongs
or miles, but of millimeters, centime-
teIs, decimeters, meters, dekameters,
hectometers, and kilometers. Instead
OF acres, rods and perches, We should
have hectares, centares and ares. In
stead of gallons, quarts and pints, we
should have litres, declititers and dek-
alters, etc. For weights we should
have grams, dekagrams, hectograms,
Kilograms, etc. That this would Gre.
ate great confusion in the minds OF
mady people is indisputable. Once
familiar to the people it would be very
desirable because it would express pre-
cisely the same thing in every in
stance, and would be ineligible at
home and abroad to everybody who
had devoted . little study to the sub
ject.

Are We Civilized

The Ore9onian from germs OF truth.
makes this assertion: 1--WE are a ma
ton of imbeciles, of needless braggarts,
of foolish children" In a greater or
less sense this is true OF all nations.
We call ourselves civilized; we boast
about our developed and organized
society; yet the observing. thinking
man, though neither socialist, anar-
chist, nor pessimist, can look around
him and find plenty OF evidence on all
hands to sustain the statement that
we are only babes in civilization, q ma
ton of fools. To the few it is
" fools paradise" but to the many it
is darkeued, weary pilgrimage.
Just two or three illustrative facts,
merely mentioned. Take taxation.
Everybody knows it is imperfect. un-
equal, unjust, crude-a failure at
many points. Yet nobody knows how
to improve the system. and if anyone
suggests what he considers an i'm.
provement he is assailed on all sides
as q crank or a public enemy. So
with the money question. Our wise
men can't agree az to what should be
money, or its proper functions, or
even what it is. On all things the
doctors disagree, while the simplest Of
us can see and feel the diseases. One
great man is fatty contradicted by
another equally able and honest. Our
Congress cannot pass any important
bill, except for spending money. One
President after another is denounced
and repudisted by the people. The
political parties are torn asunder by
dissensions. There is little truth, and
less knowledge, in all the land.
Is this civilization to boast Of? Are
we not yet in the dark dawn and
crumbling chaos OF an age that can
be called truly one OF civilization?

OUR MILITIA STRENGTH.
Uncle sam Mig hit Cali Out Nine and
One.half Million Men.

According to report on the Or
ganized militia of the United States,
which has just been prepared by the
War department., the United States
in case of need, can put 9,476,694 men
in the field. At the close OF the year
1895 every State and Territory, with
the exception of the Indian Territory
and Alaska. had organized national
guards. The total force of the militia
numbers 1860, OF which 1O2,604
compose the infantry; 5.215 the
cavalry, 5,267 the artillery, 649 special
corps and ,443 generals and staff of.
flcers. The total appropriation allowed
the militia by the government amount
ed to $400, 900, while the States during
the same period spent $2,834.976 on
these organizations. 1t is estimated
that mobilization of the militia could
be effected in the different States and
Territories in from three hours in the
District OF Columbia, to seventy.two
hours in Oregon, other State organiza-
tions assembling between these two
periods. New York is far ahead in
regard to the number enlisted, its
strength amounting to 12,901 officers
and men. Pennsylvania is second
