A. T. Quiller-Couch, in Pail Mall Magazine.
Recent lessons have brought home to the
general public a lesson which has long lain
implicit in the literature of two nations
though the general public has hitherto
found little leisure to draw it; and the les
son is that not we and our colonies alone,
but all men of our race, have a common
mission. To the American as well as to the
British mind certain forms of cruelty and
misgovernment based on cruelty are not
merely inconsistent with Anglo-C Celtic prac-
tice. and beyond possibility of Anglo Celtic
applause. Their very existence in the world
is an active irritant in the Anglo-Celtic
conscience. You may argue-and nations
not Anglo-Celtic are arguing at this moment
that this irritation is just one symptom
among many of the bumptiousness of the
Anglo-Celt. who imagines this world as a
house which he holds a divine commission
to set in order. Well, it may be bumptious
Of him: but he is firmly persuaded that he
does hold warrant to wipe certain offenses
if he can, off the score against human
morality. He is. firmly persuaded. and
grows more firmly persuaded every day.
that laissez faire is not the whole gospel of
International ethics. Sometimes this per-
certain Englishmen pettioned the Car to
deal more equitably with the Jews through
out his empire. Sometimes (aS in the in
stance of Armenia) he has to admit that his
earnest efforts have but scored a failure
Sometimes he succeeds, as he succeeded in
the instance of negro slavery. and as we are
confident he is going TO succeed in putting
an end to Spain's atrocious rule in Cuba
But beneath all these efforts, whether they
succeed or fail. lies the obstinate conviction
that while the Anglo-Celt is one of the lords
of this planet. no other lord. practicing in
famous cruelty. shall find the curt iniunc-
ton, Mind your own business" a sufficient
answer to Anglo-Celt protest.

chicago FOSI.
1t is scarcely credible that DR.. Andrews,
who talked so sensibly Monday about the
true mission of public schools. should yes
terday approve teaching Spanish in these
schools because our acquisition of Cuba
Porto Rico and the Philippines will open
rich new fields fer business enterprises to
the young men of Chicago"
The answer to this is that when such new
fields are opened TO the young men of Chi
cago those who would seize the opportuni-
ties must themselves acquire the Spanish
language at their own expense if they would
profit by the new fields. You might as we'll
talk of providing prospectors in Alaska with
mining outfits as propose to teach Spanish
in Chicago schools to fit Chicago youths
for new business fields in the Philippines
The common school is for the education Of
citizens, and not for the equipment of indi-
viduals for new fields of business enter
prise In distant lands, whether these be
foreign or under our flag
Imagine English schools giving instruc-
ton IN the habal O.. languages prevailing
throughout the worldwide possessions UNI

been unsupported. Spanish is not the lau-

1t was General Stanton, acting in this ca
pacity, who first secured for the govern
ment the services of Col William f. Cody,
widely known Buffalo Bill.
In 1895, on the retirement of General
Smith, he was made paymaster general. tie
is man of few words but devoted to his
work. while his affability and kindly treat
ment of his subordinates has endeared him
to all.
General Stanton is the sixteenth officer to
hold the position. which had its origin in a
session at Philadelphia, Pa, June Is, 1875.
and which read as follows:
Resolved, That there be one paymaster
general and a deputy under him for the
army. in a separate department; that the
pay for the paymaster general himself he
800 per month and for the deputy paymas-
ter under him $50 per month"
FIRST PAYMASTER GENERAL.
The first paymaster general was Col.
James Warren, of Massachusetts, who
seems to have found the duties-involving
as they did. the payment of all the troops
of the Northern Department by himself and
his two deputies-too onerous. and he re-
signed within a year. despite the remon-
STRANGE that General Washington addressed
to Congress on the subject.

Nov. II, 1779, Congress granted ''the sum
OF $4,000 to Paymaster General William
Palfrey, as a further compensa ton for past

subsequently made Consul General to
France but the ship on which he took pass
age was lost at sea and all persisted
Such were the beginnings of a system
which has resulted in securing for the
American soldier better rates of compensa-
ton than are received by those of any other
nation. The English private soldier receives
two pence -four cents) day, paid to him
every morning by the pay sergeant. The
French, Italian, German and Russian SOL
diers of the lowest rank receive about one
half as much as the English. Spanish pri-
Yates are supposed to receive a similar rate,

The American enlisted soldier receives
from about fifty cents to over 81 per day,
with an annual increase after three years

thirty years in the service may retire on
three-fourths pay, with an income sufficient
for a comfortable support,
