The state of North Dakota was
once part of a Spanish province.
Spain has always hated and feared
England and the two nations are
hereditary enemies. Historians
say that fear of some other
European country getting Florida,
caused Spain to cede it to the
United States in 1919. Spain had
no love for this country or its free
institutions, rather regarded them
with contempt, in fact. Her rulers
thought, however, that the grow
ing power of the United States
early in the present century would
weaken the power of England, and
this also Influenced the sale of
Florida to the United States. Be-
fore that Spain. also, for fear that
Great Britain might in some way
get foot hold in the new world,
sold the great territory known as
Louisiana, of which North Dakota
then formed a part, to the French,
enemies by race Of the English,
and France in 1903 ceeded the
province to the United States be-
cause Napoleon was in need of
money to carry on his wars. Out
of the fear and greed Of Spain the
United States has secured a great
part of its most productive and
valuable area.-Jamestown Alert.

The daily cost Of the war thus
far, in including the heavy expenses
of the purchase of ships and provi-
sions and munitions for the land
and naval forces, is less than a
million and a half. At the rate of
two million a day there is enough
money on hand, over and above
the gold reserve, to prosecute the
war with vigor until August. If
at the end Of that time it is nec-
essary to raise an unusually large
amount OF cash congress can con-
slider the bond scheme in all of it's
bearings. But the war ought to
be over before August.

The United States follows 4

The United States follows a
very simple system in naming it's
vessels, by which the style of the
vessel can be known by the name;
for instance, the big battleships
are named after the states-Maine,
Indiana, Texas. The large armor-
ed cruisers are named after cities
New Orleans, st. Louis, Chicago,
while the gunboats are named after
battlefelds. It may be of help in
reading accounts Of the army and
navy to keep these simple rules in
memory.

calculation is made upon the low

not take account of customs row.
enues. Probably the income from
that sourse will be appreciably
lowered by the war. There is al
ready q deficit of about sixty-six
millions in customs receipts under
the operation of the Dingley tariff
bill. The ninety million provided
by the new bill will hardly cover
the deficit in customs receipts at
the end of the fiscal year if the
present ratio is maintained.
It is this hard condition con-
fronting the republicans which
partly accounts for their desperate
efforts to force through q loan of
five hundred millions to meet
possible emergencies of the war.
Dingleyism is directly responsible
for the growing treasury deficit,
and there is not enough of either
skilled administrative ability or of
common honesty in the opponents
of Dingleyism to devise an equit-
able taxing scheme whereby the
nation can be saved from addition
al burdens of Understanding
obligations. The fact is now
apparent that a continued deficit
would have been certain under
Dingleyism even if the country
had not been saddled with the I'M
usual expense of war.
It is not at all probable that the
expenses of this war will come
within hailing distance of the cost
of the Civil War. A late report
shows that in the twelve months
beginning with the real outbreak
of the Civil War-July, l86l-the
War departments expenditures
were $3.50, l73,562, the navy adding
s42,640,353. In the last year Of
that struggle, army and navy ex-
penditures combined reached the
extraordinary total of Sl,153,307,.
834 The government spent, il
fact, during the year 1865 no lesf
sum than 100000 daily. Its
normal expenses in recent years
even with pension and miscellan.
eous appropriations at their high.
est, are 5000, 900 daily.
