Mr.. JOHN MORLEY lives in England,
but that he knows how things are 60
ing on in this country, is made plain by
mis- recent remark, that "miiitarism
means the profusion Of the taxpayers
money everywhere except in the tax
payers own home.' Indeed, as it is
with sleighing, money is spent and
thrown away and then there is the devil
opay, when nation goes to soldering
for any other purpose than its defense
of its own assailed honor or interest.
But militarism is necessary accom-.
paniment OF imperialism, and in raw
hands, and actuated by motives of pelf,
is especially disastrous.

from $50 to $50 degrees. They are

suffered they stuck to their work and
brought the ship quickly to port. The
