A Trial Test of the bakers.

The butcher, the baker, and the candle
stick maker formerly represented the
meat, bread, and the light of the COM
munity. The last has gone into the gas
company and the electric-light corpora

cattle of thousand hills to supply the
Capital; but the baker still remains with
us, and daily gives the lie to the Swallowed
libel that the magic lantern of our youth

showed the devil carrying off the baker,
who had given short weight. He was, in
deed, more liberal than any other trades

COST OF MILITARISM.
Two Hundred Millions for the Army;
Seventy-Five Millions for the
Navy Is What McKin-
ley Wants.
DEMANDS ARMY OF 100, 900 MEN.

We are at last to know what We are
to pay for our experiment in imperial
Ism.
The Washington government has
made its demand. It demands an army
Of 100000 men and it wants 5000, ,O00,-
900 for the next year to support its
pretensions.
The navy department wants $75, ,000.-
coo. The end is far away. This is
only the beginning of what American
taxpayers may expect.
To support the army and navy until
the end Of the fiscal year, June 80,
1902. congress will be asked to appro-
pirate more than $200, 900, 900. The
war department is estimating on the
basis of 100000 men.
Under the present law all volun-
teers and regulars in excess of about
$4,000 men must be discharged before
July 1. 1901, and Quartermaster-Gen-
eral Ludington is making arrange
ments for the transportation home of
the volunteers, beginning next month.
It will be necessary to recruit regi-
ments to take the place of the volun-
teers in case more troops are author
lied, and when they are ready for ac-
tive service they must be transported
to Manila.
The pay Of the army will be what
was estimated for the current year
81. .000. 900. There will be heavy bill
for clothing, medical and hospital
stores, ordnance. ordnance stores and
supplies and regular supplies for the
quartermaster's department. The es-
innate made by Commissary-General
Weston for subsistence stores for the
current fiscal year was $11 ill., ,242. and
this will be exceeded.
Secretary Roots estimate for the
military establishment for the current
year aggregated $12S,170,5S3, and it
will undoubtedly be larger for the next
fiscal year.

struggle SO hard to obtain q monop-

Coal Trust Extortions.
The coal combine was Investigated

this combination. It also appeared
that in 1892 the combine raised the
price s1.25 to $1.35 ton on the kinds
used by housekeepers, though the
price Of coal was already high and the
cost of mining diminishing every year.
