The Cost of the War.

The Spanish war has cost, up to
date. $3.50, 900, 900. says the Chic go
Times Herald. These figures are ar
rived at by comparing the amount
of military and naval expenses since
the beginning nj the war with the
ments in time of peace.
Notwithstanding this large addi-
tional expenditure on the part of the
government, it's methods of provid-
ing revenue have been SO devised that
no one has felt the extra pressure,
nor have the people been subjected TO
financial hardships.
1t was not SCI many years ago that
the government was obliged to call
to it's assistance aconference of fiuan-
cial men to devise a plan to maintain
it's gold reserve at 500, 600, 900. 1t
was even thought necessary to pro-
cure from these financiers a pledge to
stand by h government and guar
antee the maintenance of that re-
serve. That was in a time of peace.
After having passed through a four
months war and nearly two months
of an armistice, which latter requires
the service Of d large military and
naval force. the country has a net
gold reserve of $24O, 645. 651.
The changed conditions illustrate
the difference to a large extent of
managing. the finances of the country
upon a gold basis and the uncertain
ties of a fluctuating standard.
When the country was Obliged to
importune it's financiers for aid it
was threatened by a strong contin-
gent in congress, which was endeav-
oring to debase it's standard of value
through the free coinage of silver.
Had a war broken out at that time
it would have been disastrous, by
reason of the impaired credit of the
nation.
Happily the war did not come un-
til after the people of the country had
placed their condemnation upon the
scheme to discredit its currency and
had voted for the establishment of a
gold standard.
Under that honest measure of value
a successful war has been fought, the
people have prospered despite the in
creased expenses of conducting such
a conflict; we have gained i'm terri
tory more than the cost OF the a
have given a struggling people ma
tional independence and individual
liberty, and hnve perfected national
unity whose value annot be repre-
sented in dollars and cents.

One OF the sad results OF the war
was the death, from yellow fever, OF
Col. George L. Warning, the noted
sanitary engineer, which occurred In
New York on Oct. %. Col. Warning
had iustt returned from a tour OF in
spection of the sanitary condition of
Havana and other Cuban cities, and
though ill upon his arrival, it was
considered nothing more than a mild
case of malaria, but the case rapidly
developed into yellow fever. When
President Mckinley decided to ap-
point a special commission to choose
camp sites for the American army OF
occupation and for suggesting plans
for improving the sanitary condition
of Havana and other Cuban cities,
Col. waring was the first man select
ed and was made president OF the
commission. He received his ap-
pointment on Oct. 5 and left Tor Ha-
vana shortly afterw ard. He made a
most careful inspection OF the Cuban
capital, visited the parts of the city
where the sanitary condition was the
worst, and did the same thing In
other cities. He was exposed to yell
low fever probably more than any
American who ever visited Cuba.
But he did the work he was sent
there to do, and In his opinion solved
the problem of Kidding Havana Of
yellow fever a. he had Memphis. Col.

some quarters to throw the blame on his shoulders
peonIe IN general knew where the blame belonged.
and he doubted II one man Of intelligence blamed
him for the unfortunate condition Of the city's
finances lie had done all IN his power to provide
money. but could not perform imposs!bIlites.
Mr. Knanp was especially bitter against former
Mayor Gleason He said that II the enlarging Of
New-York did nothing else that was good the
fact that Patrick J Gleason buried beyond
,borre OF ever coming even toward the top again
was justification for the enlargement OF tho city
According to Mr Knapp, Mr.. Gleason has been the
milestone about the neck Of Long Island City. and
has dragged the city down.
When asked what effect the failure OF the city
budget would have the affairs OF the Borough
Of Queens he said he did not expect there would
be any trouble. There money enough TO run
things in Queens until there was tline ana opp1I

night he went home. and couple OF his clerks
worked all nigh; closing up the books, and that
was in readiness TO be turned over TO the Finance

he would supervise the affairs OF his extinct office
until some relieved him or responsibility. ana
