FOREIGN QUESTIONS AND THE MONEY

incidentally Mr. Teller drifted into a discussion
OF the foreign relations OF the United States He
main aimed that the money power held the coun-
try firmly within Its grasp that the Govern
ment unable TO take such action on foreign
questions the people desired should be taken
He hoped that the time would soon come when We
could say to hrh-rate power like Spain: Take
your hands Off that bountifui island-an island

! TO do a reasonable and Just act The French
ca TO us at a time when we were struggling as
are the Cubans, and II Is doubtful whether we

Returning to the financial question. Mr.. Teller

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeke ed, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning TO a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus-
ton and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until almost too late, because the first
symptoms are so like mild sickness that
they do not think they need a medicine
or doctor until they find themselves
sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's SwampRoot will build
up and Strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kid
| ney-poisoned blood, clear their complex
| ion and soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
| wonderful virtues OF this great discovery
| Swamp Root, by sending your address to
| DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
| for sample bottle and a book that tells all
| about it, both sent to you absolutely free

THE Philadelphia Post recently gave

THE Philadelphia Post recently gave
a careful computation of the enormous
cost of maintaining the defensive sys-
TENS of the six principal nations of
Europe during the fiscal year 1878,
the aggregate being $806, 2S7, $40. 1t
now calls attention to a comparison of
some army and navy expenditures
with those for educational purposes.
Taking the three most advanced ma
tons of Europe, it appears that Great
Britain annually spends upward OF
$500, 100000 for its defense to about
$50, 800, 900 for education; Germ any up.
ward of $165, O0O,0 900 for defense to $780,.
100000 for education; and France
$lS2,0O0,000 for defense to $500, OOC
for education. Contrasts with the
United States, in one sense, are unfair,
for till now we have had no occasion
for large defensive expenditures, but it
is interesting to note that our average
appropriations for defense are $50, 500.
900 to $194 900 900 for education. We
not only spend more for education than
the other three nations combined but
more than either France or Germany
does for defense, and nearly as much
as Great Britain expends for that pur-
pose.

A WONDERFUL CENTURY.

Mr.. Alfred Russell Wallace, a dis
tinguished scientist, in a recently pub
lished volume, in which he reviews,
from. the scientific point of view, some
of the most remarkable incidents OF
the century, prefaces his detailed con-
sideration of. these incidents with a
comparative summary of great discov-
cries, which sustains the estimate OF
the century just closing as by all odds
the most mOmentOus.
OF inventions and practical appIica-
tons of science of the first Importance,
Mr.. Wallace credits no less than thir-
teen to the present century. These
are: Railways, steam navigation, cleo
trio telegraphs, the telephone, friction
matches, gas lighting, electric lighting,
photography, the phoncgraph, the
Rontgen rays, spectrum analysis. the
use of antiseptics in surgical opera
tons.
The eighteenth century yielded but
one discovery worthy to be ranked
with these, namely, the development
of the steam engine; the seventeenth
century but one, the telescope; the six
teenth century none; the fifteenth one,
printing; the fourteenth one, the mari
iner's compass; and then, back to pre-.
rhetoric times, only two others, the In
dian or Arabic numerals and alpha
betical writing. Here are only six
discoveries, according to Mr.. Wallace,
in all previous centuries, to be reckoned
as of the first rank, in comparison with
the thirteen of the present century.
\ similar comparison of theoretical
discoveries show twelve of the first
rank in the present century, as COM
pared with eight antecedent to this
century.

IN response to a joint resolution of
congress approved in 1894, Carroll D.
Wright, United States commissioner
OF labor, has recently completed what
will doubtless be accepted by students
of sociology as the most lucid and de-
tailed exposition extant of the relation
of machinery to hand labor. Every
new machine set up displaces a certain
amount of hand labor, and investiga
tors have been working for years to
determine how many persons are forced
aside by each new machine, and how
far mechanical work destroys or Injuries
work hitherto done by manual labor.
After studying nearly 700 articles i'm
which machine and hand labor could
be contrasted, Commissioner Wright
concludes that wages have constantly
Increased since the factory system was
established; that under the machine
method there is increased demand for
labor, and that there has been a large
increase in the number of persons re-
quired for the production of the articles
considered, in order to meet present
demands, beyond that necessary to
meet the demands under the old svs-
tenn whic employed hand labor.

AN interesting feature of recent rail-
road laundering is the placing of
mortgages and low-interest gold bonds
for extraordinary long periods. One
CORPORATION has given a mortgage for
$50, DOC, 900 to secure per cent bonds
running for 475 years, another has
created mortgage of STE, 900, 900 for
the term of 100 years, and several
others have negotiated similar accom-
odations for sums ranging from $4O,.
OOO, 900 to S175, 600, 900, at rates of from
81 to per cent, all for 1OO-year periods.
1t is estimated that the aggregate sum
involved in these longtime bonds is
upward of 81, 400, 100000 In general,
these bonds are issued for the purpose
of retiring others hearing a higher rate
of interest.

THE annual report of General Alger
as secretary of war is notably free from
any utterances which can be construed
in any way as attempts at personal vim

comprehensive review of the recent
war and the work of the department
in connection with it. In view of the
many and serious criticisms upon the

THE peace commissioners at Paris
are evidently taking all needful pre-.
cautions to prevent prostration from
overwork. Joint sessions of two hours
a day are reported and "no real pro
gress made" Paris is not slow town
and it is proper of course that our dis
tinguished commissioners should make
the most of their opportunities to take
it in. Whitelaw Reid lived there for
several years and he can show the boys

his entire salary as American minister
there, SIT 800 year, was not enough
to pay his house rent.
