ARMA MENTS AND PENSIONS

The New York Journal is wagng an in.
cessant war on the pension extravaganza of
this country, and handles the question with
out gloves. In a late issue the following
editorial appeared which will give our
readers some idea of the comparison of our
annual pension outlay with the military
and naval expenses of the greatest powers
of the world:
Americans are accustomed TO felicltate
themselves in q superior way upon their
freedom from the military burdens that are
crushing the suffering people of Europe.
They wonder how much longer the jealous
powers of the Old World can stagger under
the loads of their enormous armies without
bankruptcy. They are looking for an early
war, leading to a general disarmament, as
the easiest way to escape from an lntolera-
BILE situation.
"Unquestionably the European military
burdens are heavy. Italy spends on her
army $4,000 900 year-over third as
much as we spend annually for pensions.
The Austrian army costs $70,OOO,OO0 year,
or nearly half our pension bill Great Bril-
tain pays $9O,OOO,O 900 for military purposes,
which lie three. fifths the amount of our an
Dual pension outlay. Germany is taxed
$120,OOO,OOO year to support the most eff
cient army in Europe, or four.ffths of our
pension expenditures. The extravagantly
maintained French army absorbs no less
than $l3s,OO0,OO0 q year, which Is about
eleven.twelfths of our pension account
Finally, Russia, with wasteful administra
ton and no public opinion to call 1t to &C.
count. spends $l42OOO.OOo a year in sup
porting the largest army in the world, which
is only from $S,OOO.OOO to $l2OOO,OOO less
than we shall spend next year In pension
ing million people, more or less remotely
connected with war that ended before hall
of the present Inhabitants of the United
States were born"

PRACTICAL EDUCATION

The tendency toward practical education
is evidently becoming stronger and more
general. In many of our schools and col
leges technical education is now part OF the
regu ar course, while In others il is offered
10 all who care to take 1t.
There Is now movement In Congress to
establish manual training schools In the Dis
trict of Columbia, and 1t is heartily endorsed
by the Washington press.
The local Board Of Trade has taken hold
of the matter and is using ts influence to
secure the proposed appropriation. Facts
which have been presented to the House ap.
preparations committee show that the system
OF teaching boys and girls in Washington
schools how to use their hands has produced
excellent results, even under disadvantage
GUS circumstances. II the proper equip
ment were supplied for the work, these bene
fits would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
In many other American cities the demand
for manual education is quite as marked as
1t is in Washington.
We have too many so-called educated
men and women who don't know how To
do anything. The next generation will be
larger and better producers than the pres.
ent one, and the fact will be due to the
change in our methods Of education.
The demand for pactical education does
not threaten our colleges and universities
They will always have their place In our
educational system. We may indeed, hope
for a larger measure of benefits from them
than we have hitherto received, because they
are more numerous, better endowed and
equipped and more largely attended than
ever before.
But the great majority Of the boys and
girls OF this country never see the inside of
acolege. They depend upon the common
schools for all the scholastic training they
ever receive. The people are therefore ar
IDENTIFY DESTROYS that this education shall be
made as valuable as possible. They want
their children taught how to apply In prac.
tce the knowledge they get from books, thew
want their hands trained as we'll AZ their
perceptive faculties, they want them. in
other words, TO receive that education which
will 1T them best for the requirements of the
struggle 10 which they are To engage as soon
as they leave school. Whenever schools
are supported by the government, munich
pal, State or national, the people have q
right to expect and demand that they shall
provide Tor the practical education Of their
children
We expect TO see in tie early future .
great reform iu this direction, and we in
cline 10 the opinion that 1t will couduce i'm
mensely TO the welfare Of the country auC
the happiness Of its people.

LIGHTS ON COUNTRY WAGONS

LIGHTS ON COUNTRY WAGONS.
On Friday last hearing was given by
the Washington District Commissioners TO
q large number Of prominent business men
OF that city, who met TO protest against the
recent order requiring lights TO be carried
ON all wagons going over the streets of that
city during the night. All branches of bust
ness using wagons were represented, and
Mr.. Thomas W. Smith, representing the
lumber business, also took occasion To speak
of the great hardship that would be inflict.
ed upon farmers by the enforcement of the
ordinance.
uthis ordinance is not repealed it is high.
ly probable that there will be vigorous pro.
tests from the farmers of the counties sur.
rounding Washington, especially when
most of them happening TO reach the city
between one hour after sunset and one hour
before sunrise are escorted to the nearest
police station by blue-coat and there re.
quired to leave collateral TO insure their pres
ence at the police court the next morning,
simply because their wagons are not illumi-
mated. Gases Of this kind will not be tried
the same day the offence Is committed, and
farmers will be obliged to lose additional
time In attending 10 their cases.
The fact is, a wagon Qoaded with any.
tbing) whether it be country wagon or
town wagon, moving slowly along the
streets, avenues or alleys of Washington,
can be seen or heard at any time of night,
provided the streets are lighted, as they
always are, by any one, whether on foot, on
horseback, in q carriage, or on a bicycle.
These being facts that cannot be contro-
verted, what necessity can there be for the
enforcement of regulation requiring lights
on all vehicles drawn by draft snimalsH
The farmers and other citizens of our
county interested in this important matter
should take all necessary measures to enter
a protest, and meetings Tor this purpose
should be held 10 each district.

DO WE DESERVE THIS?

There is one trait that New Workers
visiting Portland, Me-. cannot under
stand when they see it exhibited by every
other person they meet in the open sur
face cars. This is the magnanimity of
giving up the corr g seat. These are
quite as attractive in Portland as in New
York, for there is less of the uninterest-
ing, dirty city streets to be seen. The
main street in Portland passes quickly
from shops and business buildings to
pleasant residences shaded by trees. But
attractions or no attractions, the moment
passenger boards car the passenger
already seated moves along and gives
up the corner. When a passenger re-
fuses to do this,it can be taken for grant
ed that the accommodating one is a
visiting tourist.
The New Yorker wonders with great
wonder at this courtesy and finds it only
less explicable than the Maine souvenir

grapes upon it.-New York Tribune,

THE HARBOR MINES.

Major Hoxie stated yesterday that every
thing would be done by him to make
navigation comfortable and although the
matter is left discretionary with him bv
the War Department. he. hardly thinks we
are yet sufficiently "out Of the woods'' to
warrant the explosion of all the mines
now in position.
These mines with the cable attachment
have cost the government in the neigh.
borhood of $500 apiece and would mako
Dr. city expensive fireworks. They are NOT
likely to be displayed for while at least
