THERE are fifteen regiments of vol

with batteries of artillery from Cali
fornia, Utah and Wyoming and a
troop of cavalry from Nevada-about
10000 in all. General Otis has now
under his command nearly 10000 reg
ular troops, and when the detach-
ments afloat shall have arrived at
Manila the regulars available for duty
will have been increased to $4,000
men, or about double the estimated
strength of the remaining insurgent
forces on Luzon Island. Under such

1t is estimated that since the days
of the Trojan war no fewer than 1900
100000 men have been sacrificed on
the.altar of the God of War. If it
were possible to gather together these
millions of wars victims into one
CHASTITY army they would form a
column, twenty-seven abreast, long
enough to clasp the earth at the equa-
tor, with q residue of ten similar
columns stretching from London
across Europe to Naples. If this file
were to pass a saluting point at the
rate of one every second. night as
we'll as day, the last 'shade' would
only become visible in the autumn
of 1886.
Two and half million men fell in
European battle fields during the
first half of this century alone, and
this slaughter cost Europe the colossal
sum of $6,S50, 900, 600. Each victim
cost 50, 740 to kill. a calculation as
careful as is possible places the total
cost of war during the last 5000 years
at the appalling sum of$G00, 000,00 900.
All the countries of Europe are
spending on their armies and navies
at the rate of nearly $50 a second, or
the almost increditable sum of $4,000
900 a day.-San Francisco Chronicle.

In Shape for the Fall Campaign.

The Baltimore American is engaged
in an earnest effort to impress upon
Republicans the Importance of get
ting their lines in shape for the fall
campaign. 1t sees no good reason
for making pOst-mortem eXamina-
tions into the results of the election
in Baltimore city, and truthfully
points out that defeat does not nee
essarily presage defeat in the APP
preaching contest for control of the
State. A strong plea is made for the
preservation of the existing harmony
in the party and an avoidance of the
old bitter factional fights. In setting
forth the reasons for anticipating sue
cess in the fall, the american says
influences and obstacles that
hedged about the city contest will not
be encountered lin the State cam
paign. Public opinion was not dis
passionate and unprejudiced, as it
will be in the fall. There is ample
cause to anticipate victory in Novem-
Der, and to convert the anticipation
into a realization each and every Re-
publican should get down to hard
work without moments delay.
1.-THE record of the Republican
party in the administration of the
State affairs cannot be contested. 1t
stands honest, conservative, to large
degree free from partisan offensive
ness, and is characterized by care
full regard for the rights of the ma
jority, with justice to all.

On MAY list an Indiana rolling mill
increased the wages of it's one humid
red and twenty employees ten per cent.
The mill recently declined overtures
to enter a trust, preferring to operate
separately. On the other hand the
Fall River Car Works, which recently
entered trust, has likewise advanced
it's twelve hundred employees ten per
cent. in wages. Taken together these
news items do not throw much light
on the relation of trusts to labor.
They do, however, show that labor is
being better paid and that manufact-
urers are prosperous. The two con-
ditions go together.

favorable to Governor Lowndes being

GoRMAN IN ACTIVE POLITICS.
He is Against Free SiIve1ites in Party
Councils.


BALTIMORE, MD, May 23.-Ex-Sen-
ator German to-day announced that
he would take an active part in the
State campaign. This is taken to
mean that Mr.. German will also be in
the fight for a place on the national
ticket in 1900, and that he intends to
continue as the leader of his party in
Maryland. He will oppose the nom
nation of any Free Silverite on the
State ticket.
The Silver Democratic Association,
acting upon the advice given in the
letter from George Fred Williams,
supposed to have been inspired by
Bryan, to-day formally announced its
opposition to any Gold Standard can
didate for Governor. 1t will have no
effect, as Edwin Warfield, the leading
candidate, and all the other candi-
dates are sound money men. Mr..
Germans announcement was q sur
prize to the independents, who helped
to defeat him for reelection to the
Senate, and they may renew the fight
against him.

The soft, misty air is blending every
object into beauty, the wind is sway
ing among the branches of the huge
oaks that overhang the paths through
the wood, rising and falling in such
ss&ntle swells, and clothed with under
wood of every tint and every form.
Nature is breathing its peace which
passeth understanding" around us,
the clouds and rains that have de-
luged us for several months have
passed away. The stir of pleasant in
dustry is in our fields-men, women
and children all are busy in the seeds
in hope, by the blessing of God, of a
fruitful, plentiful return. The leaves
are upon the trees, and again renew
ing the tale of His abundant goodness,
who breathes life and beauty with
every returning year into his bright
and lovely world. His beauty is re-
viving in the tinted woods, His voice
of tenderness-the voice of Him, be-
fore whom not even a sparrow falls
unnoticed to the ground-that voice
is heard in all the notes of the innu
merable little feathered creatures
which fill the air on every side, all
rejoicing, happy beings, each in its
own individual home.
. The blue sky smiles over us, it bends
down with sapphire light to bless, it
stretches afar its cerulean over hill
and valley and plain, saying, God is
the Father and Creator of all. 1t juts
out here and there, framing springs in
golden daffodils, the daisy meadow
and the clover path, the broOkside
with its laughing silver, with tur
quoise violet stars at its side. The
hills seem to meet it, in spring and
summer emerald, autumn's ruby and
gold, in the sheeny whiteness of win
ter. 1t is Swallowed in the stream
with its flowers and trees on it's border
in summer, and winter when the earth
is like desert you still find shades of
blueness in the waves. 1t is in har-
mony with all, as see how it blends
with Mays lilac blooms attracting the
bees, with the SNOWFALL waving its
white plumes, with velvety pinks and
flaming peonies, and the pansy re-
splendent with purple and gold. 1t

making inches for itself for else would
be barren places, a Grecian pillar
here, a blue-filled, octogan space there,
in front and rear, adding blueness,
making blueness, ornamenting and
supplementing everywhere, as only
the blue sky can do. 1t is like sea,
in its eXpanse, as white cloud-skiffs
drift hither and yon. 1t is the home
of the sun, sending out golden beams
all over the world. 1t is the jewel-box
of the stars, its bright tinting lost in
the gray shadows of the night. 1t is
now here, when the storm sweeps
down the hills, and silvery mist of
rain envelops the valleys. But when
the rain drops cease to fall and dance
and sing, then there are riffs of blue
amid the grayness, saying: Hope

the sky-it ever inspires faith and

A LITTLE HISTORICAL REVIEW.

A LITTLE HISIOKlCAH KEW LEW.
In 1890 the census credited Kansas
with S240, 100000 mortgage indebted
ness, and so many people thought we
could never pay it Off in the ordinary
way that great party was organized
on the proposition that it had dis
covered some extraordinary ways to
pay Off debts. William A. PETER
thought the only way to pay it was
for the Government to lend the people
money at per cent interest, and he
was elected to the Senate to get the
scheme started Dairyman Otis
thought the only way to pay was for
the Government TO issue silk paper
money, and he was elected to Congress
to get that scheme started. Jerry
Simpson thought the only way out
was to elect him TO Congress, and the
people even tried that. And there
were other patriots who figured that
the debts of Kansas could only he paid
by the adoption of free coinage, or by
the Government ownership of rail-
roads, or by the the elimination of the
middle-man, or by free trade.
Not one of these extraordinary
remedies have ever been applied. The
gold standard still prevails, the pro-
tective tariff is still in force, the stock
holders still own the railroads. And
yet Hon. John w. Rreidenthal, the
leader of the great party which was
organized to overthrow all these
things, declares in Il apubic.and print
ed interview, that in these past eight
years Kansas has paid $751; 900 of
that enormous mountain of S240,000,-
900 charged against the people in 1890.
"IOu can find plenty everywhere in
this State" Mr. Briedenthal says.
"rhere never was time nor place
when man seeking home and hap
piness could do so we'll as he can to-
day i'm Kansas. There never was a
time nor place where anybody could
find more prosperous, more cOntented
or q happier people. The Kansas
farmer always covets the land that
adjoins his own, and great many
have been able the past year to
buy out their neighbors. There have
been more new houses built in Kansas
during the last two years than at any
time in our history, and quite as many
barns. We are lenders of money as
well as borrowers, and i'm "a short time
Kansas will be independent of outside
capital ifthe present prosperity con.
6inues.n
And all this has come about without
the application of a single one of the
extraordinary remedies proposed by
6he Popuist party
What is the lesson?

THE Boston Filipinos and most
other anti-eXpansionists assume that
the entire population of the Philip
pines is i'm rebellion against the
United States and is violently opposed
to American rule. That is by no means
the case. The truth is that only one
tribe, the Tagals, are in rebellion, the
remaining tribes being entirely salts
fled with the proposed change of au-
thority. If we had never entered the
Archipelago and if Aguinaldo had de-
feated and driven out the Spaniards,
the government he would have estab-
lished would ihave been, inot of the
people and for the people and by the
people, but of the people, for the
Tagals and by the Tagals. In sub
DUNG Aguinaldo the United States is
uot only protecting the Europeans in
the Philippines from pillage and
slaughter, but il is preserving nine
tenths of the natives OF ..the Hislands
from despotism thatrwould have
been as oppressive and probably more
cruel than that of Spain.

nifty to express their congratulations
and their affectienate regard. After
the greetings had been exchanged
the "bridal coupler were asked to
present themselves before the Assem-.

then asked them If they were Satisfied

and upon having their assurance that
they were, he formally gave them his
permission to continue on in those re-
lations tor another fifty years, assur-
ing them that If at the end of that
time they wished to have a change
made he would give the cause due
consideration.
After light lunch had been served
Mr.. Leonard, the pastor OF the church,
on behalf OF the congregation, in a
few felicitous remarks, presented DR..
and Mrs. Drake each with gold
eagle as a souvenir of the occasion.
DR.. Drake responded fittingly and
feelingly, showing how deeply he was
touched by the kindness of his friends
Several letters were read by those
who were unable to be present but
who wished to join in the chorus OF
good will, and there was a brief ad-
dress of congratulation on behalf OF
the congregation by Chas. f. Scott.
The remainder of the evening was
spent socially and will be long remem-
bered by all who were so fortunate as
to be present.
