THE COST OF WAR.

| No wonder the average man breads
war and breads it aside from its
| hardships, crueIties and death lists.
| General Sherman uttered a truth in
| language that will live long when he
| exclaimed '"War is hell" There is
much speculation as to the probable
cost of a war with Spain A naval
war would not involve such a great
sacrifice of life as one between land
forces, but of it's possible duration
the best informed can only guess. But
all know that it would be costly. The
internal revenue taxes would be in
creased at once, and probably addi-
tional duties would be put upon tea,
coffee, beer, tobacco and sugar. We
might go back to the plan of stamp
duties on all sorts Of things; legal
documents. contracts, deeds, bank
checks, etc. Whether stamp duties
were levied or not, it is plain that
beer tobacco, beer, sugar and coffee,
as affording instant large sums, would
have increased taxes put upon them.
The question of loan is being con-
sidered. The amount is variously
stated. Some think 500, 900 would
do; others, and they are in the ma
jority, would not begin with a loan of
less than $500, 1000, O00 To arrange the
terms of the loan is the difficulty
There would be no trouble in getting
the money. Uncle Sam is rich and his
credit is above par-thanks to the pa
triotic campaign of 1896
The figures covering the cost Of for
mer wars have been dug up, and they
are startling. The United States has
expended one thousand millions of
dollars just in fighting Indians since
1776. The Seminole war cost $31, 900, 600;
the two wars with the Sioux, $22, $780,
900; the Navajo war $4,000, 900; the
Comanche, Nez Perez and Bannock
wars, $1,000 900. The war of the Rev
olution cost over $135, 900, 900 and 10000
lives; the war of 1912. 100000, 900; the
Mexican war, $74, OOO, 900; the civil war,
IS, 500, O0O, 900 and 100000 lives. It there
fore costs money to fight wars, even
when the enemy makes feeble resist
ance, as was the case in the Mexican
war

Bucking Public Opinion.

CFrom the Opinion Of Senator James w.
Grimes of Iowa.
Nor can I suffer my judgment OF the
law governing this case 10 be Influenced
by political considerations. 1 am acting
in a judicial capacity, under conditions
whose binding obligation can hardly be
exceeded, and 1 must act according TO the
best Of my ability and judgment, and as
they require. If, according to their die
tates. the president is guilty, must say
so: if according to their dictates, the
president is not guilty, I must say so. In
my opinion the president has not been
guilty of an impeachable offense.

OUR MADRID MINISTER.

Next to General Lee, in the diplo-
matte service of the United States, for
prominence, stands our minister to
Madrid. General Woodford has proved
equal to the Spanish grandees, held his
own ground and the esteem OF his
cOuntrymen. Stewart L. Woodford
was a soldier, but neither buffer nor
a sycophant. There, however, is not
drop of coward blood in his veins. as Is
shown by the calm confidence with
which he attends to his duties in the
Spanish capital in a time of critical
emergency. But he has such a. beau
tiful and abiding sense of his own per-
sonal dignity and Importance that even
those who might prefer a more ag-
gressive and imperious representative
are compelled to admiration of his
stately pose. General Woodford is mo
blesse oblige" incarnate and personified
He never forgets what is due to Cen
eral Woodford and what is due from
General Woodford to those to whom
he is accredited. He lacks, perhaps,
the subtle craft of the Spanish states
man; he is addicted to the vice of say
ing what he means and giving others
credit for like candor and honesty.
whereby he is liable to be imposed
upon at times and hoodwinked into
playing the game Of his antagonists.
But he never loses sight of his dignity.
Whatever the issue may be, there
need be no fear that General Woodford
will for moment forget his dignity.
Even if he should be expelled from
Madrid, with a bowling mob at his
heels, he would simply turn to his pur
suers and say in his most impressive
tones: Really, gentlemen, pardon me.
but 1 must ask you to stand back. I
appreciate your kindly sentiments. but
really must ask you to stand back,
you know" General Woodford can
give lesson in dignity to the stateli-
est hidalgO of them all.

After congressional grants of mac
