WARLIKE PARAGRAPHS.

The "fve nations Of Europe" own
2310 war ships, mounting SS.209 guns,
all ready for immediate SERVICE"
During the war the Union troops
captured 476,160 Confederates and the
Confederates captured 212,609 Union
lists.
France boasts of navy of 4OS ships
of 100000 tons and 621 900 horse power,
and 50 others in process Of construc-
tion.
Since Napoleon "died like a Gagged
lion in his exile home" 100000 French
men have perished in the wars Of that
country.
The new German rifle ranges up to
1000 yards, and at 900 yards the bullet
will pierce ten inches Of solid pine
timber.
During our civil war the Union
Ordnance Department served out 1892
cannon, 4,022,000 rifles and 12,207 tons
of powder.
Since the Mannlicher gun came into
use the ratio is four killed to one
wounded-just the opposite to what it
formerly was.
The German war fleet is made up of
but Sc vessels, but is the most modern,
and on that account probably the best,
in Europe
Britain brags that the guns now used
by her army will send bullet through
four ranks of men at distance of $50
yards.
The Forum gives figures to prove
that the vaunted "armed peace" of
Europe costs the people more than
100000 per year.
1t is estimated that over 100000, 900
human beings Lave perished in the
wars of the world since the opening Of
the Christian era
At the battle of Austerlitz 10000
we're engaged. At Waterloo 145000
men fought. OF that number $4,000
were killed or wounded.
The great gun factory at Washing
ton-one of the largest in the world,
employing 1900 men-turns out gnns
valued at $4,000 apiece.

comes from the Independence mine,
which he once tried in vain to sell for

OUR SPLENDID CIVILIZATION.
We find the following in the Glasgow L;

We find the following in the Glasgow La
Dor Leader. 1t is a pitiful story:
A CHASTITY story of the obscure misery
of London came before the st. Pancras
coroner yesterday friday. Edward
Mccarthy and his wife, or the poor crea-
ture who has passed as such, lived III a
scullery at Somers Town, and earned
their living and paid their rent Of half-a-
crown week by making pipes there.
Their home and workshop was feet 4
inches by 6 feet 6 inches In this room Nc
Carthy died suddenly the other day, and it
may be noted that he will have more
spacious sleeping room in his grave than
he had in his scullery, for his companion
pipe-maker told the cornoer that ode
ceased was not able to lie straight along
in the room, but had to lie with his back
against the wall, or else his feet would
touch the other wall"
Doubtless this poor fellow belonged to
the class spoken of by Mr.. Fenwick as the
thousands of who 'recklessly squandered
their substance" At any rate, we see
how the dogs of the rich and the workers
of the poor are treated in 1896.
William Cathy, formerly manager to
a West End Nondon) firm of decorators,
who died suddenly in CORVALLIS Roard
Qlsington) workhouse, left this letter.
To the Coroner-If l am found dead |
have taken laudanum. l can stand the
poverty no longer. l have no work and TO
money. l have had neither sleep nor
food for two days. Deserted by friends.
l am cold and very miserable, and am
driven by fate to drink the fatal draught
of laudanum. Please give my body to
some hospital for the use of its students.

And peace will prosper, when the world

Then those who toll will be the ones who

Then will be little law-the Golden Rule

And happy women, freed from slavery;
And happy children. All the dark has been

What proportion OF the worlds sup
ply of silver Is mined in the United
States?" was asked.
About 40 per cent would be conserv-

"Thirty-two to one would make the
price of silver, valued in gold. about half
the price it would be if silver was is to

Then, it appears to me, that other ma

the United States?" said the merchant.
They co." answered the editor
For which they give us something in
return, and If we made silver $1.29, our
country would get twice as much for it
as it now receives continued the mer-
chant
There's big if in that" said the
banker; 'if we could make silver $1.29 an
ounce"
Il notice." said one villager, that a
few men in the United States can COM
bine and raise the price Of beef and of
kerosene oil, and we all have to agree
that they have been able to fix the price,
and what's more, we have had to pay it
to them without zip l guess if all
the people in the United States agreed,
by law, that silver was $1.29 an ounce, it
would come pretty near getting there,
and silver would be $129 an ounce"
use determines the value" said the
banker, land we couldn't use the silver
as money"
IF the mint was open today for free
coinage" said the editor, "the use of both
god and silver would not furnish suf-
f1cient number Of units to answer the de-
mand for money units. The fact that
business is now done on your bank credit
demonstrates the truth of the claim
Business demands something as a me-
dunn of exchange, and in the absence OF
money it uses your credit; it has nothirG 6
else that it can use"
THE country wants no free coinage
experiment to unsettle business" said
the banker.
Experiment! Experiment" echoed
the editor. We'll, that's cool! 1t is your
gold basis that is the experiment; and a
| disastrous one. The longer you continue
the experiment of gold basis. the great
| err will be the disaster to every one in
the country. When using both metals
at a fixed ratio, the world was fairly
prosperous"
But silver will not circulate; the peo-
pie don't want silver" urged the banker
''See the millions of silver dollars that
| are now piled in the treasury"

A JUDGES WISDOM.

Mr.. Axel Jorgenson of keystone, Mimi,
calls our attention to the following ex-
cellent article, which had escaped our
attention, and suggests that we copy it.
We take pleasure in doing Sod. Re-
presentativeD
Hon. G. E. Vanderburg of Minneapolis,
ex-judge of the supreme court, a man of
high character and eminent ability,
writes as follows in resDone to the re-
quest of a friend for his views on the
financial question. Judge Vanderburg's
words will have great weight, because
he is man who has given the subject
Intelligent thought and study and his mo-
tives are entirely unselflsh and patri-
otto. The letter is as follows:
"Your favor Of March I'd inst, Is re-
ceived. | was very glad to hear from
you. While I am not politician, in any
sense, and / have no political aims or
ambitions, am very decided in my con-
victions on the financial question which
ought to be made the most prominent one
trying to obscure.
MANY of them profess to be in favor
Of international bimetallism, vet at the
same time are trying to suppress all at
tempts to create sentiment in favor of
bimetallism here. While a strong public
sentiment in this great nation will sure
ly tend to encourage similar sentiment
In Germany and England. A strong
party here would result in a strong party
there. But if it fails here, it will, Of
course, not prevail there; and the world
will be at the mercy of the good men,
to do and suffer whatever they may
deem best for their interests. AS the
debtor nations, it follows that we must
be in special degree the sufferer
ut is interesting to observe how peo-
pie divide on this question. The banks
and creditor class and the majority of
thepoliticans are on the side Of the single
gold standard; while the common peo-
pie, who have read and listened to the
subject, instinctively take the other side.
The bad temper and abuse of the first
class indicate the weakness of their cause,
The daily newspaper is controlled largely
by capitalists, and frequently do not
speak the sentiment of the editor-that
is particularly true here.
"The matter should be discussed fully
inside the party lines, as we'll as in a
general way. A conference upon the sub
ject and an assertion Of the overwhelm-
ing sentiment of the people will set the
politicians to thinking. A vigorous and
magnetic man like Towne ought to head
this movement for the state of Mime
sofa. Yours very truly,
&c. E. VANDERBURG."

A Dentist Of Boston writes that
within the past year he has had to
come to him for professional treat
ment four Swedish girls. who have
been serving as dOmeSticS in families
where little attention is paid to prop
er selection Of food, the palate being
pleased rather than the body fed.
The teeth in each Of these young
women were really crumbling away.
And why? In their native country,
where the Swedish bread is baked at
intervals during the year, and hung
On poles to dry and harden, the teeth
had had their proper exercise. But
when these girls became subject TO
cam erican civilization and were
obliged to eat the pap and pastry in
homes where more time is devoted to
catering to the taste than to finding
out the needs and requirements of
the body, the masticating of food was
no longer necessity, and the teeth.
finding they were Of no more service,
decided to take themselves out Of the
way.
