even if the very imminent dan
ger Of war with Spain should pass
away" shrewdly observes the Review OF
Reviews, this country will have been
the permanent gamer, by reason of the
efforts put forth in this furry Of prepara-
ton. The safety and dignity of the ma
ton demand that its defences be modern
and ample. We have no need Of a huge
navy, but the cause Of peace in the world
requires that our navy should be mani
testify efficient, and that it should be
easily stronger than that of any other
country, excepting the two or three prin-
cipal naval and Colonial Powers of Icu-
rope" The Review continues as follows:
with a navy considerably stronger than
we now possess, we might have dictated
peace in Cuba long ago, without the
firing OF a single gun. upon terms which
would have been greatly 10 the advan-
tage of Spain herself, and would have
saved her great cost and misery. A mode
rate but progressive increase in our mill
tary and naval strength, together with
defensive preparations along the coast.
will constitute our best and cheapest in
surance against war, and will rebound in
many ways to our national advantage"

In the Russian census, recently taken,
and which is said to be the first ever
taken with any degree Of accuracy, the
inhabitants of European Russia, exclu-
sive of Poland and Finland, are given at
more than 100000, with 100000 in Po-
land, and 100000 in Finland. Altogether
the population Of the Russian empire IS
more than 129OOOOOO. and the largest Of
any of the civilized nations Of the earth.
The census also shows that, provided the
money were forthcoming, the empire
could put into the field about as many
soldiers as France. Austria. and Germany
combined. When it is remembered that
Russia has been working for years to put
her finances on a better basis, the signit-
canoe of this exhibit as bearing on the
future of Europe can hardly be ignored
by the other European Powers.

A contemporary accounts for the ac-
tivity and university OF the new wo-
man in a way that had not occurred 20
u.s. The familiar rule that leap year is
every calendar year with a number di-
visible by four will. our contemporary
notes be broken in 1900. Then there is
no leap-year for eight years. February,
1900. will have but twenty-eight days,
the extra DAY not appearing from 1896 to
1904 Centenary years are not leap-years.
That rule will be broken in the year 1000,
when the interruption may be regarded
as an indication that it is time for a
change. Centenary years Invisible by 400
are leap-years, consequently, there were
twenty-nine days in February, 1900, and
the same number of days will be given
to February, 200. and again to 240O. The
object of this rule is to make the calen-
dar year coincide with the solar year,

The Washington Post prints commu-

condition Of the treasury and the vital
necessity Of Increasing the navy. the old
soldiers make up purse to help the gov
eminent out. Their proposition In de-
tail. 30 to speak, is that the old soldiers
surrender their pension certificates 10

subscribing veterans offer TO head the list.
The Post says that this noble proposi-
ton breathes the true American spirit

This would seem to Indicate that our
Washington contemporary treats the

work on the navy could proceed without

Here we find the Post calculating &C
cording TO the Dingley rule Of calcu-
lating a surplus. High authority places
the legitimate amount of the pension
rolls at about S25.OOO,cOO only In order to
make up the other S75,O0O,OOO the other
pensioners would have 10 surrender that
amount out of the s125,OOo,O00 that goes
TO them. To suppose that any but the
legitimate pensioners would surrender
their pension certificates would be to
proceed upon a violent presumption.
Patriotism and pension jobbery don't
work together. The Post is not given to
violent assumptions. when in a serious
mood We must therefore, conclude
