The scheme for decorating freight cars
with ads has at last really developed
into something. At least, it is said, one
| Western road has contracted with the

makes us pessimlst, with the convic.
ton that life is no longer worth living.
The company formed to paint ads on

AThree.MiIIion Dollar Book

The present war with Spain has stirred
up many an otherwise indifferent boy or
girl to read the histories of our naval
conflicts and military campaigns on
hand, and at all the libraries the demand
for such books is unique in the history of
the institutions. There is one history,
however, which will not be accessible to
the average reader, but in the present
crisis some facts about this most expen-
sive book in the world may be of general
interest.
The book to which refer is the official
history OF the civil war. Before it is f.
nally completed it will have cost our
government about 100000. Proba-
bly, no other book in the world ever cost
one-tenth OF this enormous sum. Rare
editions of Dickens, Thackery or Dante
cannot touch this history in the matter
of cost. 1t is true that the history is
composed of 112 volumes of massive
proportions, but that does not alter the
fact that it is one continuous story
practically one book.
This latest reminder to us of the enor-
nous expense OF warts probably justified
by circumstances, for it's publication
brings out clearly all the details OF the

Imperial Policy and Imperial Taxes.

There is every likelihood that the
large return Of $2O0,0OO,OOO will be
needed to meet the actual expenses of
the government under the new policy
that it has adopted. The actual cost
of the war is Of secondary import
ance. for it can-and under any con-
dition WILDE largely if not entirely
met by loans. The new taxes can.
not reach their maximum of produc-
ton for some years, and due allow
ance must be made for the possibi-
titles of evasion-always large, even
under the most just of systems.
While maintaining the ordinary rate
of expenditure as it existed before the
war, three very costly and non pro-
ductive objects of expenditure seem
likely to be added-a large and per-
manent navy, permanent standing
army for foreign as we'll as for home
service, and the administration of
distant colonies. A number of Incl
dental questions have also arisen in
connection with the future of the new
ventures-the construction and con-
troll Of the Nicaragua Canal, the sub.
sidizing of shipping lines that will
carry the flag" round the world,
and, as is hoped, extend American

war according to the latest reports from
leading participants on both sides, and
it will tend to settle definitely disputed
points of that great historical drama.
The official history will be complete and
authoritative. and all future writers must
appeal to it as final resort. The atlas
which accompanies the book contains
III plates, illustrating the important
forts, campaigns and battle6elds. These
pictures are nearly all taken from photo
graph, and are not the ideal conceptions
Of an artist. Therefore they have the
value Of accuracy.
The printing and binding of this expen-
sive book has cost the government over
a million dollars up to date, while more
than another million has been spent in
salaries, rent and stationery, for the pur-
chase of photographs and private papers
OF individuals. The work is not yet
finished, but in year or two copy of
the great undertaking may be looked for
in all the leading libraries. Less than
100000 copies will be printed at first,
for it is not expected that the demand
for it will be enormous. While the book
will be authoritative, it will contain much
that is very dry and uninteresting to the
average reader, and hence will never be
very popular.
In one consecutive history may be
found all the war material and reports
Of commanders of armies. corps, bri-
gades and regiments. deposited in both
the federal and confederate state ar
chives. AS both sides of the struggle
will have free representation in the work,
the history cannot be said to be partial.
South as well as North tells it's own
story. As the joint production of the
two great sides in that war, it will make
for better understanding between these
two sections of our country. 1t will be
book that Wholesome and sible-
nation can contemplate with pride and
honor. Even though it cost So 100000
it will more than repay the seemingly
enormous outlay. for it will leave for flu.

The Beloved Flag of the South.

The spirit of nationality was present
in every feature of the exercises attend
ant upon the recent unwilling at Freder-
ick, Md, of the magnificent bronze shaft
erected at that place to the memory of
Francis Scott Key, the author of"The
Star-Spangled Banner"
More than fifty years has elapsed since
the ashes of the gentle bard were tender
ly committed to the care OF mother earth,
and consequently the material shrine
which his admirers have reared above
him comes rather late upon the scene.
Still the time for rendering this tardy act
of Justice could hardly have been chosen
more opportunity than at present, when
the contemplation of the whole country
is fixed upon the nations flag and when
the differences between the sections have
been perfectly adjusted for all time to
come.
AS most of our readers are aware, "The
Star-Spanged Banner" was composed
by its author during the war of 1912,
and since that time additional associ-
ations have been impaired to it's folds
Then it waved over barely more than
hall of the territory over which it now
waves, while grouped within its shadow
there were barely more than one-sixtli of
the people who now enjoy it's protection.
Going back along the track OF the century
we find that Florida, Texas, the Pacific
coast and Alaska have all been annexed
to the domain of the United States since
the music of THE Star-Spanged Banner"
first greeted the ear of the nation.
Until the outbreak OF the present war
with Spain the poetized emblem of our
nationality was restricted to the North
American continent, but following in the
wake Of our recent victories upon sea
and land, it waves today in undisputed
supremacy over Cuba. Porto Rico and
the Philippines. Indirectly as one of the
fruits Of existing conditions, Hawaii has
come into our possession. We are strong
today in the numerical strength ofeighty
millions of people, and in the established
security of that popular form of govern
ment which at the beginning of the GEN.
fury was in it's experimental stage. We
are also strong in the respect which for
eign powers entertain for US. This has
been clearly demonstrated by the events
Of the past few months. Verify, if the
author of "The Star-Spapgled Banner
could look abroad today over the vast
domain of the republic he would hardly
recognize in it any trace OF the country
which inspired his famous song three
quarters Of a century ago.
Whether the territory over which the
Star-Spangled Banner waves will con-
tinue to grow in the future as it has in
the past, we do not undertake to say
but there can be no doubt OF the fact
that the name of Francis Scott Key will
be Immortality identified with the emblem
OF our nationality wherever it waves

Central and South America. New
possessions imply new responsible
tiles of protecting and developing
their resources and populations, and
these responsibilities involve great
expense. An imperial policy must
be paid for in an imperial manner"
