Says the Boston Journal: "It is cal
culated by military students that fully
one-half of the 100,0 mon who died
in battle on the Union side from 1861
to 1866 were a bloody sacrifice to the
North's fatuous neglect Of the science
of arms and of the most ordinary mil
itary precautions. If that is true,
then one-half of the wounded and dis
abled veterans whose names are now
borne on the pension lists owe their
disability to the fact that their coun-
try, in its long peace, had forgotten
the solemn admonition of Washington
and had allowed the great mass OF It's
youth to become absolutely Ignorant
of the use of weapons and OF martha
exercises. On this basis OF reasoning
the national folly of the years before
the Civil War is now costing the Ma
tional Government about $40, 600, 600

its present military establishment
We shall never have Civil War
again. Our only possible conflict is with
a foreign enemy, and in all probability
we shall never have that if we maln-
tain an adequate navy and complete
our new and admirable system OF coast
defenses. Seventy million dollars
would finish these defenses and arm
them. 1t would build fleet Of tif-
teen frst-class battleships and make
our navy the second most powerful on
the planet. The men who believe in
policy of reasonable military pre-
paredness for the United States can
Justify their position not only by an
appeal to the national honor, but by
the broadest considerations of genuine
economy"

people living in crowded streets and
subjected to incessant, often loud,
noises, do not live as long as those
whose surroundings are comparatively
quiet. The rule is that which rem
ders life uncomfortable should be
stopped. In considering the effect of
noise, we should apply it to ordinary,
everyday people. such as the COM
plainants in this case, not people
brought up in palace, unused to
noise of any kind, or people who live
in pigsty, caring nothing for noise
of any sort. The Court must he Judge

This will leave Sj5, 900 to be raised in

sidering the growth of this parish for
the past II wears or more aud the able
administration of the present rector,
this is not any real burden. Emman-

pal centres in this eIty. Along with its
near neighbor, Trinity church, it is fore
most in charitable and benevolent en-
terpriSes. While it has not the wears of

1t has been since its beginning in 1860
vital force in the ecclesiastical life
of the diocese. Under the charge of
Rev. DIR. Huntington and Alexander
II. NintOn it naturally grew to be a
parish where the best elements in the
Episcopal church would congregate,
and strengthene this new undertak-
ing. On the departure of DIR. NintOn,
some grave misgivings about the fu-
ture of the church appeared. But
these We're soon overcome. DIR. Parks,

and his recognized leadership in the

creasing prosperity. With the enlarge

advis.biiity of this change, when it is
known that for some time the present
accommodations have been made
quate DIR. Parks refused, short
time ago, an urgent call to Holy
Trinity, Brooklyn, and his determine
tion to remain in this city will not only
tend to advance the cause of a toler-

even broader issues, which will tend
to popularize his own denomination
and keep it in the van of II progress
