PROBABLE LENGTH OF THE WAR.

If we are to Judge the probable
length Of this war by history, peace
will not be declared within a year.
An Eastern contemporary gives this
history in respect to cost and dura-
ton Of some OF our wars: s..
GAS rule wars-even little ones
are costly things in respect to time as
well as to men and money. We are
not warlike nation, yet we have
spent thousands Of millions in war
which, according to the best esti-
mates, have involved the death of
more than three quarters of million
OF men. The war of the. revolution
cost the feeble young states thirty
Thousand lives and probably $780,
100000. Officially, the Civil war is
estimated to have cost this country
six hundred thousand lives and
nearly s9,OOO.OOO.OOO. Indian wars
have cost US immensely. The one
with the Seminoles put US to an ex-
penes of S30,000.00O. Two years with
the Sioux cost us $1,000 1000. AS to
foreign wars, these. show, for instance,
that the wars OF Napoleon I cost
about $2,0OO,O00,O00, and about one
million lives. The Napoleonic wars
altogether are estimated to have cost
France s5.795, 100000 as against our
$S,5O0,0O0,000; but they cost five
million lives, while our loss was only
six hundred thousand lives. Within
the last three. hundred years England
has spent in war rs much as the
United States, but one half Of it was
spent in fighting Napoleon. She
spent more than twice as much as we
did in the war of the American revo-
luton, and then had to lose her col
onies.
"Fhe cost Of the Crimean war has
been placed at S2.OOO,OOO,OOO and the
loss o. men at seven hundred and
fifty thousand. The b!oodiest war
was that between Russia and Turkey.
whose entire cost was only S125,OOO,-
OO0, but resulted in the killing of two
hundred and fifty thousand men. II
our Civil war had boon fought out in
the same ratio Of dollars to men we
should have killed seventeen million
men.
"As for the question of cost meas
ured by time, our own history is in
structi We The Civil war, which
Secretary Seward expected to close
In fonr months, lasted four years
The Mexican war is what they call a
short war yet we we're two years
fighting it. For that war hostilities
began i'll March, 1916. A month later
General rayler called for five thous-
and men. In May Congress recog.
nized 5he war; Mexico declared war
May %, 1876. Monterey was not
taken until four months later, Sep
tember 18th, and Buena Vista was
not fought until eight months after
the war was begun, February %, 1847.
"Atter nearly one year OF bostilities.
in which our forces had been drilled
and disciplined in camp by months of
campaigning. General Scott sailed
for Mexico and captured Vera Cruz,
ten months after hostrlities begun,
March 20, 1877. 1t took four and one
half months, to September IA, 1917,
before the city Of Mckee was taken,
sixteen months after hostilitics open.
ed. Peace came June, 184S."

lA1n8 OF Slam 1nStruCtB His Subjects.
There is another thing whereof I
must warn you. Whatever may be our
mutual good will for increasing the
prosperity of our country and our mu-
tual love of justice, we may be quite GER
tain that we shall not at once, nor in
as short a time as we might wish, Grad
icate all abuses nor do as much good as
we are aspiring for. Even in Europe
and in the most prosperous countries
I never met with people who were per-
fectly and unanimously satisfied with
the government and the state of things
in their own country. Therefore, let
us all make rule not to complain pre-
maturely, because, Notwithstanding
our good will and our endeavors, every
thing is not going on according to our
desire. In other words, let us be sat-
istied with what is possible and only
dream of what is perfect. Finally, let us
not exclusively admire what is foreign
and despise what is Siamese, nor exclu-
siveiy admire what's Siamese and de-
spise what is foreign. There is in every
country, as in every human being, a
mixture of good and evil, and we must
try to initiate what is good elsewhere,
and at the same time not only to keep.
but to develop what's goodoand worthy
of respect in our own national charac-
ter and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Daily

"FLOWERSl FLOWEE p
Heard In a City Street-A Fea-
ture Of Urban Life,

At one time and at one season and
another all sorts of things are vended
through the city's streets, but one sees
no turnout more picturesque than that
OF the flower peddler seen in the spring.
There are likely to be two peddlers with
the wagon, so as to cover both sides of
the street at once and to make the
shouting easier.
1t is lovely, lazy, hazy day, and the
horse moves along slowly and comfort
ably. The wagon he draws is filled from
end to end with Towering plants in bril-
liant bloom, a moving mass of beauty.
The vendors, each with flower pot un-
der his arm, with a generous-sized,
green-stalked, red-topped plant pro-
jecting therefrom, walk one on either
sidewalk leisurely along, the horse and
wagon following as leisurely down the
center of the street; it all makes curl
Gus and attractive little city show and
no mistake; and as they go:
"Flowers! Flowers!" shouts one
easy-moving vender, the red-toppcd
flower nodding under his arm, and
"Flowee! Flowee!" shouts in turn
the vender on the other side, his red
flower nodding, too.
And so they go. If the horse takes
things too easily and doesn't come up
quite promptly enough. or sort of strays
off to one side, one of the men goes out
into the street and starts him up and
sets him straight again, and then he
goes back to the walk and starts on him.
self and cries with long-drawn shout:
'Flowers! Flowers!"
And the other man says:
"Flowee!" Flowee!" and thus thew
make their way down the street.
They'll sell many another thing be-
fore this time comes next year, cauli-
flowers, maybe, and peaches and water
melons, and lots of things besides; but
they'll sell nothing that will so catch
the eye of the beholder, nor anything
perhaps that will so please their own
fancy, as the bright flowers they are
selling to-day, when one says: "Flow-
ers!" and the other "Flowee!" Y.
