1t is gratifying to republicans to have
the speakership of the next national
early and settled right. Of all the lead
ing candidates, none was more worthy
than Mr.. Henderson of Iowa. There
should be an advantage also in having
a man in the chair who is not only
agreeable TO the administration but to
the Reed faction, if there be such a
thing. Mr.. Henderson has never echoed
the depreciatory remarks attributed to
Mir. Sherman of New York; on the
other hand, he has given proof that he
believes in Reed rules, so far at least
as they enable the House to do bust
ness.

When DR.. Harris took charge of the
society of All Souls church, it had a
debt of $4,000, which has been reduced
to $4,000. During the past year or two
the church has had an expensive choir,
and this has proved a burden. The
membership of the church is made up
of young people who, while in comfort
able circumstances most of them, are
not wealthy. The trustees will meet
at an early date to consider what ac-
ton will be taken regarding the resig-
nation, but it is feared that unless some
one makes a large donation, it will have
to be accepted.
DR. Harris in a talk with a Spy man
yesterday, expressed his intense grief
at being obliged to take the step which
seemed best for him He has pro-
found love for every member of his
congregation, and feels that in leaving
them he will be parting with those
who are almost part of his own family.
He has made no plans for the future,

With no human lives to mourn, the
sinking of the Paris at sea would
scarcely seem sadder than the present
fate of that unfortunate vessel. Aban-
Goned by the owners to the insurance
men and the wreckers, is confession
that she cannot be saved. To be
stripped and broken up by the salvag-
ers or pounded to pieces by wave and
wind, has the semblance of torture and
lingering death. To be sunk in the sea
would be natural death and a decent
orderly burial.

DECLINE OF VAR EXPENSES.

! Up to date, the cost of military and
naval operations in Cuba, Porto Rice
and the Philippines has amounted to
$254 500 900 for fifteen months. That
is the excess of expenditures above the
ordinary peace establishment, as COM
pared with the cost of the army and
navy for the corresponding months a
year previous. If this latter cost is
to be added, the actual total comes to
1866 100000. OF greater importance
now, however, is the marked decrease
of military war expenditures, especially
during the past month.
The total disbursements for May were
about $15,OOO,O0O as compared with more
than $42, 100000 during July last Here
is a reduction of nearly two-thirds. Ne
cessarily, the cut has been larger in the
army than the navy. In the one case
the reduction was from $34, lie, 900 to
SO 300, 0G0, and in the other from S.
800 900 to "a, 76S, 900. There has been lit
tie variation in the navy expenses for
eight months, a fact which indicates
how near var footing the department
is maintained, even in time of peace.
Army expenses have been cut more
than a third during the past month.
These figures cover the total disburse-
ments.
If now the expenditures on a peace
| footing be deducted from the bill, the
actual cost of the military operations
outside of the country for May amount
to scarcely $500, 900, which is more than
covered by the war revenue act. This
! is the more significant, because the es-
innate for these operations has com
monty been set at $1O,0OO,OOO a month.
Moreover, no allowance was made for
such an extensive campaign as has been
carried on in the Philippines since last
February.
One of the best of the financial CORE
apondents in Washington estimates the
cost of the Philippine war at from 50,
OO0,OOO to 100000 a month with a
leaning toward the lower rather than
the higher figures. This represents
about three-eighths of the extraordi-
nary expenditures for army and navy
combined. 1t leaves, also, about s.,
100000 to cover monthly expenses in
Hawaii, Cuba and Porto Rico. showing
that the administration of these prov
inces is much less expensive than had
been predicted. Of the $500 900 war ex-
Ipenditures last month, $6,13O,O 900 were
for the army and the remainder for the
navy.
The decline of war expenditures
partly accounts for the treasury sur
plus reported in May. No increase
is likely to be made in the
future, and with the assured reve-
nue., no deficit is to be expected in COM
ing months. The strength of the gen.
eral financial situation is all the more
encouraging because it is maintained in
the face of the fact that between S.
100000 and 100000 is going out of the
country every month. The extraordi-
nary military expenditures, moreover
account for the disposal Of a consider
able portion of the great increase of the
money stock of the country.

OUT AND ABOUT.

II have often wondered" writes
correspondent, "if the people of w
fully appreciate the beauty and
beneflcence of one of the in
situations of the city, mean, the Art
museum. 1t has been the writer s
privilege to go there on several occa-
sions lately, to visit that great picture
THE Disciples at Emmaus," and she
has been more and more impressed by
the dignity of the building and the
beautiful uses to which it has been put
Coming out of the city streets, with
their. turmoil of trade and traffic, il
seems, when one enters the building
almost to have the air of a sanctuary
with its atmosphere of quiet and re-
pose.
ITO take first the interior-how beau
tiful are the low tones in which the
walls are finished, furnishing a neutra
background that in no way interfereS
with the pictures. Then, the light is
perfect in its combination of strength
and softness, thanks to the scientific
skill of John G. Haywood. The wis
dom of the lighting arrangements was
we'll illustrated in the beautiful light
that was thrown on THE Disciples at
Emmaus," seconding the efforts of the
artist after powerful yet subdued eff
fects. The fine pictures that adorn the
walls permanently, and the master
pieces that the management is fortu-
nate enough to obtain from time to
time, make the museum rich in objects
of beauty so that one feels as if he
would like to live there all the time.
"One need not be a connoisseur to
feel the beauty of the whole, for the
writer is not one. There is something
in the building to please every taste,
for if one does not care for pictures
there is the noble statuary in the lower
hall, as well as the large collection of
engravings, copies Of the masterpieces
of the world.
The policy of the management with
regard to the public is also most COM
mendable. While there are rules, they
are not like the laws of the Modes and
Persians, but are sufficiently flexible
and every consideration that courtesy
and kindness can devise is shown, in
order to bring the museum to the
knowledge of the people of the city. All
the beautiful objects in the museum
are offered to the people without money
and without price, for while a cata
logue may be desirable, so many of the
statues are labeled and so many of the
canVases tell their own beautiful stories
that it is not absolutely necessary. I,
for one, am always grateful for the
privilege of the museum; its presence
here is and will be, 1 feel sure, a last
ing blessing to the city of Worcester
