abusers Of honor, law and morality, and
declared they comprised SPANS downfall

I'VE can have no consideration for the
friars, whose iniquities and abuses are
doubtless unknown at the Vatican, where
only the friars own misleading reports are
received. If this commission has not vet

THE ARMY BILL REPORTS.

The people throughout the country feel
a profound interest in the debate in Con-
gress on the two army bills-the bill re-
ported by the majority of the committee
on military affairs, and the bill reported
by the minority of that committee. The
majority report calls for an army OF 100,
500 men, and the minority report expresses
the opinion that 5000 men would be suf-
fcient for all purposes in time of peace.
The majority of the committee is willing
however, to make some concessions.
There is no doubt that public sentiment
is against a large standing army The
people look upon a large army as a menace
to the republic. Besides being a burden,
it encourages the use of force in the set
Element of differences which may crop
out at home between political factions and
between labor and capital, and also diff
ferences which we may have with other
nations. Costly wars may be the direct
result of a large army. Ii is true that an
army of 100000 men would not be a very
large one for this country but according
to the estimates of the war department
it would cost us almost as much TO MAIN
tain an army of that size as it costs Ger
many or Russia or France to maintain her
immense military establishment The rea-
son is that the American soldier is far bet
ter paid and cared for than the soldier of
any other country.
1t is claimed that because an army of
10000 men is authorized il doesn't follow
that it would be necessary to increase the
army to that size unless an emergency de-
mandng such an increase should arise
If an army of 100000 men should be au-
thorized it is pretty certain that influences
would be at work at once to increase the
army to that number of men. And the in
luences would be so strong that It is
doubtful II Congress would resist them.
1t seems little remarkable that before
the war with Spain IL was almost impos-
sible to get Congress to appropriate enough
money to make any progress with coast
defense work, or to make proper expert
ments with new kinds of guns and powder.
while now. with no war in sight or in
prospect there is plenty of talk of an ap-
preparation of more than s14O,OOO.OOO a wear
for military purposes. Truly the war with
Spain is proving to be costly one in
many ways.
But 1t may be urged that an army of So
900 men will not be sufficient for home
needs and also to meet the demands upon
us in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
1t IS true that IL as many soldiers are
needed lin the territories acquired from
Spain as Brooke and Wood and Otis think

Objected to FriIIn.


The late Admiral Kirkland known in
the service as Red BILL" was a verita-
bic sea dog" as the term is popularity
understood; brave and fearless, possessed
of many genial qualities but a strict dis
cipiinarian, with the greatest horror of
anything like "dudeism" or affectatjon
among his young officers.
On one occasion the admiral received
a visit from a recently appointed young
officer.
How do you do sir; how do you do?"
said the little mdshipman.
''Howde DOR said the admiral, gruffly.
81 suppose you got all of my kilograms,
admiral, did your" asked the young officer,
trembling al the rather ungracIous attitude
of his superior officer.
What kilograms do you refer to?"
asked the admiral. Il got no kilograms"
Il am very very sorry" said the young
man, now thoroughly frightened at the
admirals attitude. II telegraphed that
was coming from almost every station,
sir" Admiral Kirkland turned in his chair
and glowered at his little subordinate.
why in the devil do you suppose that
care whether you came or didn't come?
Never presume to do that again, sir"
And the poor little officer thoroughly
abashed, skunk out of the room

LIS Essence OF Trnth.

For many years the sage held to his in
vestigations, says the Chicago Record. He
sat at his desk in the library with tones
whatever in the world they are) heaped all
about him. He unrolled manuscripts and
studied them in deep abstraction. He
turned the pages of many books. At in
tervals he would nod solemnly and make
note on the sheet of paper lying in front
OF him. At last the frail body weakened
under the strain of unremitting toll. fhe
ancient scholar took to his bed.
"The end is near" said the physician
holding the thin, worn hand in his so that
he might lend the old student some Of
his own courage
Il care not" whispered the sage, with a
smile of resignation. MY work is finished
L have proved it-as I said. On my desk
in the library. You will find it there"
When his spirit had departed the lifelong
friend who had been chosen as executor
went to the library.
There, upon the strewn desk. he found
the fruits of all the labor, the essence of
Truth which the scholar had extracted bv
years of reading and research. There
was the Finished Work. 1t was as fol-

have been any coon songs"

Fish in Nantucket.

The residents of Nantucket are said to
be so well satisfied with their small island
that they care but little for the outside
world, says the Youths Companion. Nat
urally many of the men are employed in
fishing, and the old fishermen delight to
tell OF the foolish questions asked by the
'rusticators" who visit Nantucket in sum-
mer. One summer visitor. in turn. tells
this story Of the town fish market: Have
you any salmOn?" asked of the Old salt,
who was sharpening a knife.
No, ma am" he answered; and then he
added In a pleasantly condescending way,
I'VE don't sell nothing but fish here"
well" 1 responded, salmon is fish,
you know. They are caught in all"
but he interrupted me.
Land! I know folks eat all sorts of
things. 1 hear about EN- eating frogs,
and calling them fish. Folks are strange
in their eatin', same as they be in their
clothes" with a critical glance at my
bicycle skirt but all the fish that folks
ought to eat can be caught right round
these shores. Can't I sell you a nice
bluefsh, that amt been outn the water
more'n an hour?"
Not knowing any better way to regain
his good opinion, 1 purchased the bluefish
and went meekly home.
