The Costs of War.

MT. Dingley stated, in his most solemn and official manner on the floor of the house, that it was "well-nigh certain" that war expenditures would be maintained up to May l, and that the round bill at that time would be s5OO0OO,O0o, and it might be more. War expenditures are each month increasing. and it is plain that the admin istrat.on is not lying awake O nights to lessen the patronage of the present war
 A few figures, not of war expenditures elsewhere and under different circum- stances, but here at home, may be inter- esting. The Mexican war is a very simi- lar case. We fought Spaniards in that case in a strange country, just as we are doing in Cuba. Vera Cruz is about as dis tant as Santiago. An expedition was nee: essary in each case. That war lasted two years and three months We put in the field GOO men, and the cost of the war was just about an even one hundred mil- lion of dollars. We have, or soon will have, twice that number of men in the field, and the cost on the basis of the Mexican war should not exceed two hundred millions of dollars, even if the war be extended to two years; but it is plain that the notions and methods of 1S46 have passed away, and that expenses per man with gun have been at least doubled, and probably quad rupled. The difference is this, according to MT. Dingley: It will cost us five hun dred millions of dollars to keep 225,ooo men in the field one year. in Mr. Folks day it cost s5O,OOO GOO to keep 112,Ooo men in the field one year.

 The embarkation at 6:30 o'clock was an inspiring sight The men of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania and Second and Third Wis consin regiments were drawn up on neigh boring pier heads, their regmetal bands playing patriotic airs, which were respond ed to by the band of the Illinois regiment on the steamer. It had been raining hard all day, but just as the Rita drew out into the stream a perfect rainbow appeared. spanning the entrance to the harbor like triumphal arch, under which the ship was sailing The watching soldiers caught the significance of the incident, and cheer swept along the water front that could be heard all over the city.

 There Will be more brave talk, plenty or it. Talk is cheap, and if by pouring 1t out the men at the head of affairs in Spain think they can get better terms from the United States the foodgates of speech will be kept wide open.
 This country wants peace, of course-it never wanted war, if war could be avoided without infidelty to duty-but the terms of peace must be comprehensive and strict ly American. Spain has no rights In the premises which we are bound to respect.

 On these terms the American people are willing that Spain should have peace.
 But her flag must never more fly over foot of soil in this hemishere, nor can 1t be permitted to be run up again over any people whom we have rescued from its black shadow.
 Spain is on the ground and our sword it at her throat. Her life will be spared, but there should be no further favors to her. Generosity to Spain would be cruelty to humanity and a wrong to civilization.

HARD TACK BETTER THAN BREAD

hARD 1ACh bIH1 AEh THAN bhEAO From the Syracuse Standard.
 One of the queerest things about new troops is the prejudice against army crack CTS, says major, as he recalled some happenings of the civil war, but they all get over it in time, and come to understand like hardtack Our company had this tenderfoot notion that fresh or dry bread is better than crackers for soldiers on the march. On one occasion we loaded up with bread to last for three days. The second day most of it was sour, and the third day it was worse. Before we re- turned to camp we were crazy for crack CTS, and we never went back on them after that.
 We learned to appreciate hardtack in the forced march from southern Tennessee to Louisville in 1862. Regular rations ran out and flour was issued instead of crackers, This didn't seem objectionable at first, but when we had to march all day and got our rations of flour at midnight, with orders to move at a. m., the heavy swearers came into action. There was no time to cook even fapjackS or sinkers, and If you attempted to carry flour in the rain you came out at night with bag of paste. A castiron stomach could not stand such messeS as the soldiers made of the four They made dough and baked or half baked 1t in ashes or on dirty hot stones, and ate socalled biscuits with the soft, unbaked centers burning lips and threats, and, after they were swallowed, resting like Jumps of lead in not overstrong stomachs. The whole division cheered like wild men when we struck the cracker line at West Point, on the Ohio

War indemnity in Case of Peace.

Suppose Spain through the friendly of- fees of the pope or of Austria and France should decide to stop the war tomorrow-what then?' Would she then simply lose Cuba? Undoubtedly that would be the sole loss of territory if Spain had money or credit but as she has neither, as she is growing poorer rather than richer, the loss of Cuba would not be the only territorial loss she would suffer in case the war were suddenly ended
 It has become part of the unwritten law of modern warfare that the loser shall pay the winner in the struggle all ex- penses incurred as nearly as they can be estimated. France had to pay Germany an immense indemnity; Turkey had to agree to pay Russia mere than she could raise; China paid Japan an immense sum, although she surrendered the rich island of Formosa also, and even little bankrupt Greece was compelled by the powers to bind herself to pay Turkey many millions. The precedents are all one way, and if the war were ended tomorrow Spain would have to pay the expenses of the effort this country has made in behalf of Cuba and humanity. The indemnity would not now be less than $1OO,O000O and will soon be $200 ,000000. Every month adds perhaps $25, 900 to the aggregate
 Bankrupt Spain cannot pay any such sums. She is overburdened with debt. She has no credit She will have none when the war is over, because her debt is so great now that she cannot meet with any certainty the interest and pay her current expenses. She must therefore give up temporarily at least two islands. Cuba will not be accepted as a part of an in demnity, because the Cubans will demand Cuba for themselves, and they may then set up government, or ask for annexa- tion. But Porto Rico would be accepted in part payment, and the Philippines would answer in lieu of the remainder.
 No settlement of the war can be made that does not include an indemnity large enough to cover all war expenses of this country. Such an indemnity is sanctioned by all recent precedents, and the losing nation knows very well what is in store for her. Spain knows that her islands are lost. She may think Europe would object to an absorption by America of the Canar- ies or Balaenic islands or of any portion of the peninsula, but she does not req sonably think we will not be permitted to do as we please in the West Indies or the Philippines. Russia may threaten, and Germany buster and France scheme, but in the end the United States will con trol the settlement, and in that settle ment Spain will cease to have a colonial system. We will have her colonies, and she will have more experience and less pride.

The Lord told Noah, he said, to build an ark, but forbade him to let anybody know what he was doing. It took him forty years to fn- ish the job, and all this time. said the good brother, the neghbors wefe standing around asking Noah questions and fooling with his tools.

Kinley schedule is five times more expen- sive than the Polk schedule. There is no blame, however, necessarily involved in this statement for President Mckinley. War is becoming more and more expensive every year, but the tendency is distinctly towards shorter wars. If the present war is at all unnecessarily heightened, blame will then fall upon the administration. The people desire and exp .ct. not lessened war expenses during the war, but vogorous, conclusive conduct of the war to the end that the war may be ended and the war expenses stopped.
 The civil war was horribly expensive and affords no basis for comparison. Nei- ther, for that matter, does the war of lSl2 In the latter 576,OO0 troops were engaged, and the cost, as officially ascertained, was l07,0OO,O0O. It lasted two years and eight months. The cost per soldier was much less than it was in the Mexican war, which was a foreign war.
 The war for independence was war in which great economy was necessarily practiced. It lasted eight years. Three hundred and ten thousand troops were put in the field, first and last, and the cost is officially stated as $1S5 900, 900, or less than s15,ooO,OOO year. And we had the mightiest nation in the world, instead of a third-rate, degenerate country to fight. The war for independence shines out from every point of view

of view.

Even the New England anti-annexation- ists do not oppose the sending of troops and ships to Admiral Dewey They seem to be willing to conquer the Philippines to the uttermost island; but then they say, Don't annex them, for if you do you will destroy the republic" It is the same old republic, by the way, that has been going to destruction by the annexation route since 1893, when Thomas Jefferson at one swoop more than doubled its size
 But the question arises, now that the conquest of the islands is well-nigh com plete, what shall be done with them? The anti-annexationists should be driven into corner and held close prisoners until they furnish an answer. When they say that they should not be annexed, they are, in all fairness, bound to name a proper dis position of them.
 To give them back to Spain, even if she could hand over a reasonable indemnity, would be to consign ten millions of human beings to oppression, cruelty and mlsrule. Humanity forbids, and the party that ad vocates such policy would be buried very deep in this country.
 If we attempt to sell or barter them to some European power, in an endeavor to recoup the expenses of the war, then in deed we will stir up hornets nest, for the great powers are intensely jealous and sell fish, and any such attempt would perhaps lead to war-certainly to complications and enmities that this country cannot afford to invite. Such a disposition is not feasible. If it were attempted all the powers would want a chance All are willing to let dis tant America handle the Philippines, but none of them are willing to see the rich islands handed over to rival
 No one knows better than the more in- teligent natives of the islands that self government is impossible The people are not all like Aguinado They are Hitter ate They are fickle and unwarlike. There is no cohesion of race or language. Con, fusion and revolution would follow, and the world would come to wish that even Spanish misrule was restored. Whatever the people of the Philippines may be able to do hundred years from now, at pres ent they cannot establish a stable and just government They are incapable of such work, and everybody who knows the islands at all knows they are not equal to the task of governing themselves
 What then? Ask the anti-annexation- ists. They should make answer. The ques- ton presents only one dihiculty-the islands cannot become an American state. They can, pending their development to the point of self-government, be governed by military rule, very much as Alaska has been and is governed Alaska is not territory having a local legislature or rep, resentative government. Call it, if you like, colony. There is nothing deadly or dan gerous in an island colony. It will not bite. It is too Tar away. The republic would go on just as it went on in 1s67 when Alaska was annexed.
