Our women in the War.

The Jacksonville Times-Union and Citi-
zen advocates the making of proper ac-
acknowledgements by the government to
those women who have distinguished
themselves during the war. Let Con-
gress give gold medals to such women as
Helen Gould and Annie Wheeler when 1t
undertakes to recognize the heroism of
our people," says our contemporary. And
the suggestion is one which will meet
with a ready response everywhere.
The services of Miss Gould and Miss
Wheeler are too well known to need to be
retold. The one, having abundant wealth,
and a good and generous heart, has pour
ed out money lavishly for the benefit of
the sick and wounded soldiers. The 9TH
er, not rich in this worlds goods, but rich
in love for humanity. has devoted herself
with ardor and frmness of purpose and
success to nursing the wounded and i'll
soldier boys.
These two women have come into public
notice more than any other, except Miss
Barton, as a consequence of the war; but
there are a great many others who should
be put into the same class with them,
as brave. devoted, tender daughters of
America ready to go to the limit of their
capacities for the alienation of distress
in hospital and camp Hundreds of them
have left homes of comfort and associa-
tons of refinement to follow the hard for
tunes of the men afeld and afoat, and to
give aid and comfort wherever they found
need. Several inspiring examples of
prompt and cheerful sacrifices of pleas
ure to duty and of efficient services
rendered, might be named from among
the devoted women of Savannah; and sa-
vannah was not an exception among
cities in this respect.
Gen. 6hafter does not believe 1t is good
TO send women nurses to the front. How
ever that may be, there cannot be any
question that wherever the women have
been assigned to work since the begin
ming of the war with Spain they have
performed their duties cheerfully, often
heroicaly. Their work in many cases has
not been less arduous than that OF the
men, and their dangers have been not
less real than those which the men were
called upon to face There are doubtless
| thousands of instances of patient toll
cheerful self-sacrifce heroic bravery and
tender ministration In the hospitals that
will never become known to the world;
but the memory of them will live in the
minds of the soldiers while life shall last.
Too much praise cannot be given to the
women of the war of 1895 They are
worthy daughters Of and successors to
the women Of the war of 1S62-65!

A Clever old Salt.

Here is an amusing story of a New Zea-
land skipper, says Spare Moments. The
town of Greymouth, in Tasmania, grew
very fast, and mines of coal as well as of
gold We're opened; trade sprang up with
Hobart, and a genial skipper from that
port entertained all hearers at the hotel
with glowing accounts of the beauty of the
Hobart girls.
Ladies were scarce in those early days
and the fun waxing fast each one in joke
commissioned the skipper to bring him a
wife next time at go passage money.
The ship sailed, and the joke was for
gotten by the would-be wits, but not by the
skipper: that astute Odd salt calculated
that young ladies at go each passage
money paid better than timber or pota-
toes even, so he went over, and with glow
ing accounts of the rich bachelors at Grey
mouth waiting for wives, persuaded about
a dozen Hobart girls TO go out on specu-
lation 10 order.
Arriving at Greymouth, he calmly re-
ported to each jol5er-horror-s stricken spe-
cially were the married ones-that the COM
mission was executed and the consignment
10 hand-f20 to pay. Twenty pounds was
not much to pay in those days for such d
good joke, especially one Of a delicate ma
ture that required hushing up, so nearly
all paid up and laughed. The sweet young
Hobartians soon got husbands or situa-
lions, and all ended well.

The Cost of Armed Europe.

If the appeal of the Russian Gar for
European disarmament and a universal
peace We're viewed merely in the light of
an economic question and limited to
expenditures of money, nothing more
would be needed to commend it to the
ablest thinkers of the world.
Indeed, the figures which are encounter
ed when the money phase of the matter is
examined into are quite sufficient to stag
ger the imagination. 1t is practically i'm
possible for the average mind to grasp the
meaning, the true proportion, of the enor-
nous sums which armed Europe is cost
ing the toillng masses who, of course,
must bear the burden of the expense.
Since the several governments do not
make public statements of all the moneys
they expend for military purposes,
strictly correct summary cannot be made,
but NJ. Ed. Thery, editor of the Econo-
miste European. has prepared an estimate
of the cost which probably approxlmates
the truth.
What may be called armed Europe COM
prses the ten countries of England,
France, Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy
Belgium, Spain, Holland and Switzerland.
There is Turkey also partly in Europe
and Turkey maintains a war establish
ment at an enormous cost; but NJ Thery
does not include Turkey in his figures. The
ten European countries named keep nearly
four millions of men on military duty in
times of peace. The cost of the military
establishments (army and navy during
twelve months in 1S97-'9S aggregated $919,-
300, 900, thus averaging more than $9l 900 900
for each nation. The burden, however
was not evenly distributed of course; the
great Powers, England, France Russia
and Germany, laid out about two-thirds
of the total.
What may be called the great rush of
military activity and expenditure in Eu-
rope began little more than thirty years
ago. In 1865 the total expenditures for war
establishments was slightly above S514 900. -
600; thus it viii be seen that the expense
has been nearly doubled in three decades
In no year during all of this time was
there a falling off in the military expendl-
lures. The various nations watched each
other constantly with anxious or jealous
eye, and expansion on the part of one was
quickly matched with similar expansion
on the part of the other, with
the result that the war budgets
grew, and are growing. constantly.
In view OF this fact, if the yearly totals
of military expenses of Europe for the
past thirty years We're consolidated. 1t
would make a total SO tremendous as to
actual money cost, should be the losses
sustained by the nations on account of the
>non-producuHty OF the millions Of men

HobSon,s Choice.

The neatest men in the world are navy
officers, says the New York Press. There
is no dust at sea. and the decks are con-
stantly being holy stoned. Before the Gu
ban war Hobsons was regarded as hnicky
in matters of dress. even as much so as
Admiral Dewey. He was one of the dain-
test of kid glove officers, and we know
what ballroom conqueror he was at An
napolis. One night at the annual hop, on
being presented to Miss Clara Draper now
Mrs Samuel A. Kimberly of Washington
he took the liberty of writing his name on
her card for waltz some ten numbers
ahead, without so much as saying "by
your leave" 1t was his way. Girls liked
him for 1t. They called it 'lmpudent." He
was on hand at the precise moment to
claim Miss Draper, but she failed to rec
ognize him. II surely have not promised
you Dance she said, looking at her card
For this waltz l see / am Hobson' $
choice" I'm Hobson," muttered the cadet
severely. and before she could protest Miss
Draper was passively gliding over the floor
supported by a relentless arm.

"Of course replied the first speaker,

"Oh, I've been mentioned in a lot If

that some Of the best work of the cam

'An by yourself?"

Value of Good Local Government.
From the Chattanooga Times Dem).

The local governments are at once the
most costly governments we know Of, and
they also lie at the base of all general
governments. Given good village, county
and city governments, over a state, and
it's general management is not likely to
be other than good. In those New Eng
land states that have stuck close to the
town meetin scheme OF local govern
ment, state administration is the purest
and best. Why? Because the town
meeting is a scheme of pure democracy,
all the men participating are able to read.
write and cipher, and they vote the taxes
on the town-on themselVes-and direct
its general mana cement. Bad state gov
ernment, Of such a population, having
such local government over every five
miles square of it's territory would be
impossible
If we would have the best state govern
ment we must bring our city and county
governments closer to the people, TO the
end that they be made clean and strong,
and responsi bic directly TO the taxpayers.

why the Prayers Were Shortened.

A Kansas City stockman, according to
the New York Tribune. tells this story
about the commanding general Of the
army: when Gen. Miles was fighting
the Indians he always held a short pc
Rod of prayer before entering into an
engagement. On one occasion he had fol-
lowed the Indian trail for several days.
and came upon them in the middle of the
afternoon. He Immediately went into his
season of prayer. The chaplain who ac-
companied the expedition was exceedingly
long-winded In fact, he seemed to forget
that he was out on the prairie, within
reach of a hostile foe, and labored in true
compromising style When he had finish
ed his request TO the Almighty that Gen.
Miles might come out victorious in the
righteous cause, 1t was suddenly announc-
ed that the enemy had fanked to the
army's rear, and stolen all the pack ami
mails. Miles was disconsolate, and made
an order that the prayers should be cur
tailed"

What to Write Puzzled Him.

The presence of a hotel guest who is
able to write, but yet has Travelled so lit
tie that he couldn't perform the simple
act of registering, is a novel one. and
yet that is just what happened in Wash
ington uptown hotel one day last week,
says the Washington Times.
The individual in question was a plain
looking elderly man with fairly good
clothes, though not stylish, and his whole
air bespoke him a granger. 1t is quite
likely that he had never before spent a
night in all his life away from the farm.
With him was a woman nearly of the
same age, who was unquestionably his
wife. When the polite clerk gave the
stranger from the rural districts a pen
and showed the register to him, the latter
looked visibly embarrassed, but he took
the pen and bent over the book as though
he had nerved himself to some desperate
task.
He started to write, and then stopped
and began to think. The clerk, of course,
didn't know what the trouble was, or else
he would have volunteered his services.
After a painful pause the ruralist started
in to scratching once more, but he hadn't
gone far before he made another balk.
Fortunately there was no one else waiting
to put down his autograph.
After the expiration of fully five min
utes the farmer threw down his pen with
a sigh of relief, wiped the Precipitation
from his brow and rejoined his better
half who had been waiting In the lobby
during all the ordeal. The room clerk
was curious to see a signature that re-
quired such an unusual length of time to
execute. The room clerk is a solemn man,
but he nearly went off into a fit when he
saw, in big, round script, this legend:
me and Maria"
