THE COST OF WAR.

Even little war, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, is very costly affair,
as the expenditures Of the United
States treasury show. Whether or
not the fighting still continues in the
Philippines, the expenses remain prac-
tically the same. The cost of main
tanning the army is heavy charge
and for the next fiscal year, ending
June 80, 1901, congress appropriated
the sum of $131, 247, 155 for the war de-
paTtment. On June 80 last there were
in the Philippines 63,426 officers and
made up Of regulars and volunteers.
General Otis, who is not inclined to
overestimate the task at Manila, says
that the number of troops on the
island cannot with safety be reduced
for a year or two, and the present
rate Of expenditure may be taken as
fair indication Of the cost of the war
department Of several years. In the
year 1897, before the intervention in
Cuba, the expenditure Of the war de-
partment was S48.950,2 67; for the
navy department S34,561546, or a to-
tai of 1881, 813, and the average az
gregate expenditures for the two de-
partments in the years 1861 was
about S81, 200, 900. IN 1893 the aggre-
gate expenditure was $3.50 ,815,9 84; in
1899 it amounted to 1929. T23, 1858, and
for the fiscal year 1900, ended On June
90 last, to S192,O00,000.

CONTAGIOUS CONSUMPTION. "

On June Is according to the Post, in
Association hall, Boston, D. w. P. Rob

believers that 80 per cent. OF the cases
Of consumption can be cured by
change of climate, the time required
being not more than five months. He
attacked the system of quaratine for

human" He laughed at the dry

ton and said that if that theory were
true the consumption colonies in the
Carolinas would be ''hot beds Of

And now we find that the dreaded

only where the disease has reached an
advance stage do the ''tubercle bacilli

THE REWARDS OF COURTESY.

Attention was called some time ago
to the beautiful moral conveyed by the
stories of nurses who have been hand
remembered in bequests left by
persons whom they had in some time
nursed. And now comes another
moral example along similar lines. A
certain lady of means, a Mrs. Schley,
died not long ago and among other be-
guests, all of substantial sums, LETT
several thousands dollars to clerks EN-
Dloyed in New York stores with whom
she had dealt while shopping. In
several of these instances she did not
know the Christian names of the
parties she meant to benefit. These
lucky saIespeople had shown her
marks Of courtesy and attention, and
those little amenities Of business tact
that are certain to please even the
most captious customer.
The lady had not forgotten them, as
her will testified. Nor do other shop
Ders forget such attentions, even
though their will bears no testimony
on the subject. General courtesy on
tae part Of any empl0ye is certain &c

NEW OLD JOKES.

Il doubt there being one very

anecdotes to support skepticism.
An intelligent Greek, who acted AS
Mr. Sala's guide while visiting Athens,
related to him as modern Greek Joe
Millerism, the story OF a lawsuit. A
deaf plaintiff sued a deafer defendant
before the deafest judge in all Greece.
The plaintiff claimed so many hundred
drachmas for rent that was due. The
defendant pleaded that he never
ground his corn at night. The judge,
in giving judgment, observed: We'll,

Mr.. Sala, this apparently up-to-date

collection of ancient Greek epigrams.'
There used to be told story of
Sheridan Knowles, the dramatist, who
was a first-rate hand at Irish bulls,
meeting one twin brothers, and ask
ing him: Which Of ye is the other??"
Mr.. Sala compares this with the
story OF that very ancient jester,

the bridge. On the night of March &c,

ALACK! POOR WOMAN

AS Soon As She Can Be No Longer

Snubbed by Republicans and Demo
Gratis Alike.

There is no one point which ought to
be so strongly emphasized, no fact
which so needs to be impressed upon
those women who are now organizing
to work for the different political
parties, as that of their utter power
lessness to help or hinder, declares
Susan B. Anthony
Senator James II. Lane of Kansas
always used to say to those who came
begging him to assist their pet meas
ures: We'll, what do you propose to
do for me in return?"
This was a brutally blunt way Of
putting into words what every poll
tican says in effect when he ignores
the prayers and petitions of women.
1t is the philosophical and inevitable
consequence Of our democratic-re-
publican form of government, in which
position and power are conferred by
the electors. Those who desire pro-
motion must establish themselves in
the favor of those who can grant it.,
and there is nothing to be gained by
catering to any other class.

The lady who wrote the above let
ter gives the following account of her
arrival at Tientsin:
"The trip by train from Tongku,
where we landed, to Tientsin takes
about an hour and a half. The cars
are not palatial, but are not half bad.
When you land hundreds of coolies be-
siege you for your baggage. You
wonder how it ever reaches its desti-
nation in safety. The trip is somewhat
interesting, but rather desolate to take

graveyard, thousands of mounds OF

for they bury their dead anywhere

For a number OF years women have
had National Republican association.
with auxiliaries in many states, work
ing might and main for the success OF
that party. Yet. Notwithstanding all
this. they never have been able to
secure a recognition o. their rights il
its national platform, and the first act
Of the present executive committee has
been to abolish the womans bureau
for the campaign of 1900
In consideration Of these indisput-
able facts would it not show more wis
dom, common-sense and self-respect
in women to organize and work to
make themselves part OF the electro
rate before they labor in behalf Of any
political party?
In alIying themselves with the gold
basis element, for instance, they an
tagonize every man who believes in
free coinage. In joining the forces OF
ss16 to l. they array in opposition all
the men who advocate a silver stand
ard. In taking sides for or against ex-
pansion they arouse the luminosity OF
all who hold the opposite view. In
espousing the cause OF prohibition
they repel not only the liquor dealers
and the Incorporate but also the be-
levers of license and in moderate
drinking.
No one party or one class of men
will ever enfranchise women; but 1t
will have to be done by combination
OF the friends in all parties and all
classes. This fact ought to convince
women that they cannot afford in any
way to ALLEVIATE men, through whose
good will alone they will be able to
secure the ballot. Without vote
they can render no practical assistance
to the party they favor.
Hence, leaving out Of consideration
their individual interests and personal
pride, says Miss Anthony in con-
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1900-08-30

This may be placing government on
low plane. 1t is altruism with a
limit; a desire to help others in the
exact proportion that others help US.
1t is the golden-rule read backward
Have others do unto you in the precise
ratio that you do unto them.
Such is the present status-nOt the
fault of the individual, but the result
of the systematic electorate governs.
1t gives and it takes away. AL out
side of this body are without power to
do either.
This is the position of women.
Their interest in political issues, their
ability to comprehend them, their de-
sire to influence them cannot be ques-
toned. All Of these become more evil
dent with each national campaign.
By the 9Th of next November, there
will be scarcely a woman in the United
States so devoid of patriotism as not
to wish to cast her vote for one or the
other Of the presidential candidates.
1t is because women long to assist
the party which represents their ideas
on public questions that they form
their political organizations, open
their headquarters, fly their banners,
wear their badges, send out their
literature make speeches and march in
professions.
The party leaders welcome all the
grist which comes to their mill; they
do not reject any fuel which makes
steam; they accept every element
which increases the enthusiasm, and
they honestly desire the sympathy and
cooperation of women.
In politics neither the labors nor the
opinions of women have any appreci-
able influence unless enforced by tne
ballot There are object lessons with
out number to prove this assertion.
On a southern plantation when a
husking bee was in progress the
masters went around among the slaves
using every device to persuade them 10
increase their speed, but finally one Of
the old darkies said: whats de use to
hurry? We niggahs don't get none O
dis Gavin nohow."
Now this is just the situation of the
women who husK corn for the political
parties During the campaign the men
urge them to their greatest effort and
delude them into the belief that they
are really giving valuable assistance.
When, however, the contest is over
! and women ask for their share in the
rewards they discover that they have
| rendered no service which is con-
| sidered worthy Of being rewarded; or,
in other words, they learn the lesson
| that work without votes is dead.
The old abolitionists were perfectly
willing to have women share their
| obloquy and ostracism. but when they
became a strong political party they
refused to divide their power with
| women.
The prohibition party was feeble and

VARIETIES IN BIRD-SOCETY.
Domestic Troubles Among the Vireos

Mrs. King-Bird was housekeeping

larger than she could lift easily. At
this rate she shouldn't get the house

'Mr. King-Bird, Mr.. King-Bird,
what are you doing, you lazy thing?"
'Just keep quiet, my DEAR" says Mr.
King-Bird in stern tones. Here's a
terrible time in this tree Mr. and
Mrs. Redeyed Vireo are in a great
mess. That rascally villain, Tom
Cowbird and his wife, have put one of
their eggs il the Vireo nest It hap

Vireo's back is turned off she goes, to

"Mr. Vireo, you have already left

But you left the nest"
Il didn't! At least, l was only

And Phoebe, with an air of wisdom,

Stop gadding, Mrs. Vireo and Mr..

And so the Vireos go straight to

the lesson home to themselves and so
both work and finish housekeeping in
