The Emperor of China braced up the
other day and announced that he had de-
cided to import western civilization into
the Flowery Kingdom, declaring that it
was better than eastern. England was
happy in consequences and Russia CORES
pondingly depressed. The emperor's au-
thority. however proved to be very brief.
The Emperor's mother quickly appeared
upon the scene, reversed all the Emperor 8
plans, reinststed LII Hung Chang, and
restored Russian influence to it's old
potency. Evidently no one can bank
much upon stability of government in

ARMIES AND NAviEs.

(Manchester Mirror }

The Russian sutocrat's proposal OF an
international conference for the lnaugu-

about reduction of the ornaments tnaO
are shaping the life of all civilized ma
tions except our own, or at least to put
stop to their increase, commands the APP
prevail on paper of all the governments to
which 1t is addressed, but it is not likely
| to materialize in any substantial change
in the policy of the recent past. 1t sug-
gests a reform which all agree should be
| brought about. but which probably can
not be, because none of the parties inter-
| ested dare disarm themselves until their
rivals do, and unity of action cannot be
secured. The fact is that the imperial
great powers necessitates great armies
and navias, and their jealousy, distrust
and fear of each other force them to con-
stantIy increase their fighting force. To-
day all the armies of Europe ara on a
peace footing. Tomorrow war may break
out and half dozen countries may be
/ involved in life-and-ieath struggle. To
guard against this ever present condition
each must keep constantly prepared and
| the preparations are only less costly in
men and money than actual war.
| Practically all the male inhabitants of

and compelled to give some of the best
years of their lives tesservioe in the army.

The Boston Herald in the course of a
discussion as to what had become of the
reconce ntrados to save whom was alleged
at the time war was declared to be one
of the chief objects of our invasion OF
CUBA made an interesting revelation in
regard to the famous speech which Soma
tor Proctor made in the senate after q
visit to Cuba in which he claimed to
have made personal Investigation of the
condition of the reconcentrados. We
quote the Herald's language:
At the time Senator Proctor's report
was ringing in the public ears, there
came into the Herald office a citizen of
Vermont, a Republican like himself,
but. unlike him not politician who Was
interested in bringing on war. This
VermontoI told different story of the
reconcentrados. He said he was in Cuba
for his health simultaneously with Sena-
tor Proctor; that, having leisure while
there, he was moved TO follow in the
track of Senator Proctor and see for
himself how far his own observation con-
firmed Senator Prootor's reports He
went over the same track not week
later, and he found absolutely nothing
| that substantiated their truth. He took
| to conduct him to the starving sreconcen-
| trados. They did conduct him to scenes
of poverty and to scenes of Illness, but in
\ his whole research he found not one case
of starving, or even Of suffering for food.
| This gentleman entered on the inquiry
with an open mind; he came from 1t
| with the conviction that Senator Proctor
had accepted Cuban statements for his
facts, and had not given his own observa-
| tions at all. 1t was such testimony that
provoked the war.
| Senator Proctor's statement purported
to be founded upon personal observation,
and the Senate and country believing
him to be honest and of calm mind paid
great attention to it, Indeed it is not
too much to say that it helped very mate
rally to bring on the war by rousing
the peoples sympathy and indignation.
Had it been suspected at the time that 1t
rested on Cuban testimony, that the
starvation and misery he claimed to have
seen he had only heard of, his speech
would have made little impression in the
| Senate or elsewhere.

The average pay Of this privates and
non commissioned officers of the armies
of the old world is o mere fraction OF that
received by the soldiers of the United
States. but as a rule they are we'll cared
for and supplied with the best of death
dealing weapons, and the expense OF the
maintenance of the military establish
ments to which they are attached Is enor-
nous. In 1897 Russia expended to sup.
port her army on a peace footing $227.-
600, coo; Germany, with a population of
81, 900, 900. paid for the same purpose
81 i9, 75O, 900; France, s113, 900, 900; and
England SOL .000. 000 In the smaller
countries, like Austria. Italy and Tur-
key, the army tax is even more burden
some. Nor is this terrible drain for the
support Of the land forces by any means
ali that Is chargeable to the necessity OF
being able to defend tie possessions of the
countries named. The budgets for last
year show the following appropriations
for the naval establishments, most Of the
money to be devoted to the carrying out
of building programme requiring sever
al years for Its completion:
Great Britain. Sl07, oO0, 600
Russia. 3l6, 900, 600
France, l44, 5uV, wy
Germany, %4o oov,ooo
Most of these sums Of money have been
able some change of programme to be be-
gun Immediately. Great Britain has
voted in this way S2,235, 600 for new CON.
struotion, and only the other day Russia
passed an extra appropriation OF about
$40, 900, 600. France spent $50, 600, 000 last
year in her naval construction, and Cor
many and Russia about half as much.
All these powers are building with an eye
to the futnre-the future which the good
hearted Gear is doing his utmost to maks
one of such peace on earth, good will TO-
ward men that no such mighty navies
will be needed.
Adding these amounts for the armies
and navies, we have as the cost of the
ornaments in a year of universal peace
In four countries these appalling totals:
Great Britain, $780, 100000; Russia,
s54b, 900, 600; France, $279, 100000; Ger
many, $3.50, 75n. 600; and unless it comes
as the result of some such international
agreement as the Gear suggests. there is
no reason to hope that the steady increase
of the past five years will not be main
tained 1t is the fashion just now for
Yankees. while pluming themselves upon
their victory over the Spaniards and con-
graduating themselves that Providence
has chosen them as the instruments of
the civilization or determination OF the
Cubans and Filipinos, to deplore the
fact that our army and navy have been SO
small and to promise and plan to increase
both until they are the equals of any on
earth and sea; but when we consider
what the new policy means in the way of
expense, which must be borne by the
common people, and the waste of the best
years of the youth of the country in mill
tary service. we can well excuse those
cautious persons who, at the risk OF being
called Bourbons and Copperhctds, are
asking whethcr after all. the d Monroe
policy, which called for only the skeleton
of an army and the nucleus of a navy,
was not, and is not, sound one.
The Portland daily press., 1898-09-24

Perhaps the slowness of the Spaniards
to get out of Cuba is born of the hope
that Uncle Sam will charter ships and
carry them home free of expense.
