parison between agriculture in Ger
many and the United States: The
sum total of agricultural products in
Germany is s50.000,o00 less than the
value of farm products of the twenty
three western states of the Union, but
the number of hands in Germany is
two and one-half times as great, while
the improved area of the western states
is three times that of German farms.
In Germany the productive area is
equal to no more than eight acres per
farming hand: in the western states 1t
is sixty-two acres. The value of pro-
duct per acre is, of course, higher in
Germany-namely, $31, as compared
with $40 in the western states, but the
product per farming hand is $500 in the
latter, against $3.50 in Germany. With
a twelve-acre farm a man can hardly
do more than feed his family and pay
his taxes, whereas the average farm in
the western states of America COM
prises 40 acres. In the second place,
the military system of Germany takes
from agriculture the flower of the peas
antry."

HE story that Emperor William
the other day clapped his hand
on his sword and swore by the
eternal that the Yankees should never
take Cuba so long as he remained on
deck. may or may not be mythical, but
even If 1t be true Emperor William gave
a very poor imitation of the Bombastes
Furiosos now on duty at Havana as
war correspondents. There are several
of them-men of great talent in their
line If they haven't any sword to clap
their hands on. they have their writing
pads So far in the present war. the
writing pad is mightier than the sword
by several degrees. There are two of
these journalistic Napoleons who are
daily writing their names on the pages
of history in the fieriest red ink in the
market. They are Karl Decker and
Sylvester Scovel OF course they write
in the first person and sign their names
to history as fast as they make 1t. This
gives history an authoritative stamp
and seal which nobody can mistake. 1t
relieves future historians of the present
period of all but little clerical labor

aseertaining the authenticity of the
official papers of Decker and Scovel

pom no suspicion of military calling
would ever attach to him.. Surely these
are not really soldiers.' is the incredu-
lous exclamation of American visitors
in Havana on seeing for the first time
a squad of Spanish infantrymen. rag
ged and unkempt, with rusty, battered
arms and accoutrements, struggling
through the streets without the slight
est semblance of military order"
The same writer declares the Spanish
recruit sees little of Havana for on his
arrival he is drafted from the troop
ship to MORO castle or Castillo del
Principe, where he is furnished with his
Mauser and roughly instructed in its
manipulation. A very few lessons in
the simplest rudiments of a soldiers
duty qualify him for active service and
he goes to the field without ever having
fired his rifle and with just enough
knowledge of drill TO enable him to
comprehend the orders to advance, halt
or turn to the right or left. Probably 1t
will be his fate to be attached to bat
talon engaged in active operations, in
which case he will march YEARLY day
after day. in all weathers, broiled dur
ing the day and chilled at night, rarely
seeing the enemy, unsheltered, over
worked and underfed, until the inevi-
table breakdown occurs and he can
march no longer. Then, If he still re-
tains a remnant of strength. he may
be detailed to the garrison of one of
the thousands of tiny blockhouses that
are strung along the trocha or form
the defenses of country towns.
Any other troops in the world who
had been subjected to the continuous
neglect and abuse that have fallen t.
the lot of the Spanish soldiers in Cuba
would long ago have broken out in open
mutiny. but these poor fellows plod on
without a thought of resistance until
death overtakes them.

Friendly Meditation.

London, March 13.-The Daily News,
commenting on its Washington corre-
spondent's report that President Nc
Kinley's intimate friends believe him
in favor of waving all questions of
indemnity providing Spain will accept
Americas friendly mediation in Cuba,
says: Such a solution would be the
best for all parties If Spain is not able
to manage her own colonies they must
be managed for her. That and no
straining of the Monroe doctrine, is the
source of American feeling against
Spain.
There will be no disgrace or discredit
in accepting the friendly mediation of
a power with no ambitions or designs of
it's own to crafty. If Mr.. Mckinley
can find a way out of the imgroglo he
will earn the gratitude of the United
States, Spain, Cuba and mankind"

An Omen Secret.

Cincinnati, March ia special to
the Commercial-Tribune from Ports
mouth, Va, says: The Merritt Wreck
ing company's tug Right Arm having
been relieved at the scene OF the Maine
wreck by the tug l. j. Merritt, it left
Havana last Monday and reached Nor
folk to-day. Captain John Magee, who
is in command, would not speak of
what his divers had seen and the con-
clusion he had reached from the re-
ports. The members of the crew
were more communicative, and every
man said it was an open secret among
all the divers and officers at Havana
that the big magazines were intact,
and that the Maine had been destroyed
by torpedo mine.

New Guns Mounted.

Pensacola, Fla. March 13.-Fort Pick
ems, which guards the entrance TO the
harbor on the east side, is a scene of
great activity. New six and eight-inch
rifle guns will be mounted on it. The big
disappearing guns are in position and
it is learned that the troops at Fort Bar
rancas are under orders to prepare for
practice with them, which is expected to
begin within the next 10 days. Large
quantities of ammunition have been re-
ceiyed at the forts and more is on the
way. The Pensacola division of the naval
militia has just received from the gov
eminent n splendid HotchlSss rapid-fir
gun and "a fun outfit of cutlasses, ammu-
milton, etc, and they are ready TO begin
prat tice.
