Cost of Army and Navy.


Secretaries Root and Long have cho-
sen n most inopportune time for pre-
senting claims for more than S225 600
coo for the support of the army and
navy for the next fiscal year. When
the country is beginning to feel the
burden of the immense military or
ganization which has become necessary
to conquer our new colonial posses
sions and to keep the natives overawed,
and when the Republican orators are
shouting themselves hoarse to prove
that Imperialism and militarism do not
exist and are mere creatures of Demo-
cratic imagination. is scarcely the time
TO come forward with figures that so
clearly prove the truth of all the Demo-
cratic charges. Unfortunately, Secre-
taries Root and Long were compelled
to call on the chiefs of their several bu-
reaus TO submit their annual reports,
! making recommendations and esti-
mates of cost. and it is these figures
which show how expensive is military
glory.
The chiefs of bureaus in the War De-
partment figure Oh an army of 1GO. 600
men, and standing army of that size

tne event that Mckinley is elected. On
the other hand, if Bryan is elected, the
recruiting officers through which it is
proposed to increase the army TO the
100000 limit will be closed at once. 1t
will be necessary to recruit IL number
Of regiments TO take the place of the
volunteers in case this increase of the
army is authorized, and when ther are
ready for service they will have TO he

more, and the subsistence stores S13,-

the military establishment for the cur
rent year aggregates SIPS, lI0.5S}. and
this sum will have TO be greatly in

most every officer and man in the bat

if they could do me any harm. The
fact is that | got most of the corners

was struck and bent over at right
angle. Then shot went through my
sleeve, near my left wrist, tearing two
holes, but not hurting myself. Then my
rifle was struck while l was loading,

WILLIAM j. BRYAN,S
ELECTION is ASSURED.

Conjecture has no part in the state.
ment made by the National Democratic
Committee when it asserts that VIII.
lam Jennings Bryan will receive the
electoral votes of New York, Indiana
and Illinois.
This claim is based upon careful can.
vases of the States in question. This
| means the election of Mr. Bryan. as il
resulted in the Democratic victory in
| 1892.
| The party of the people-the Demo
cratic party-will also carry Michigan

Hanna people.
The later three are not necessary

Hannaism in Ohio. Tannerism in Iili-
nois, Standard Oilism in Indiana,
Rooseveltism inoun.<bankery in New
York have contributed to the result.
AS to Kentucky. Maryland, Delaware
and West Virginia. there never was
any substantial doubt. They are not
less sure to return Bryan electoral
votes than Alabama. Tennessee and
Virginia. The border States have be-
come diSgusted with their brief regimes
of Addickses, Taylors. McComases and
AtkinSons.
Michigan is naturally Democratic
State. 1t has been held hy the enemy
for two reasons: Money first. then Pin
gree. That is all past. The Algers no
longer buy and the Pingrees no longer
divide the popular strength. Michigan
will come into the Democratic column.
Minnesota is Il fighting State. That
sturdy Scandinavian, Governor Lind,

IONS of the Vikings with him once, and
he can do it again
The Western States that gave allegi-

The Khedivc OF Egypt's Wife. {

The wife of the Khedive of Egypt en-
Joys somewhat novel position among
Eastern women as the beloved wife Of
devoted husband. 1t was while a
slave of the DOwager Khedivish that
The present Khedive, Ikbal Hansen,
won the admiration of the Khedive.
She is Of the Circassian race and pos
sessed of unusual beauty. Her man.
lgement of her household resembles
much the European customs. Euro-
pean servants perform the duties, and
European gOvernesses instruct her
three daughters. She avoids the paints
and powders so much in vogue among
Egyptian women. and in the matter Of
dress prefers European clothing. Her
progressive ideas have led her to share
the education of her children and keep
pace with their studies.

Shooting Into a Hailstorm.

To break up hailstorm it is neces-
sary to destroy the revolving or whirl-
ing current of air. This can only be
done by an opposing current Of air,
hence the philosophy of shooting can
non balls at the hail clouds is plain.
The cannon balls passing through the
air create temporary vacuum, which
is quickly filed by the air rushing in
behind the ball and toward the clouds.
When. this current of air becomes
stronger than the whirling current or
strong enough to interfere with it the
whirling current is overcome and the
hailstorm is DESTROYED.

Massachusetts is also a Republican
State. The Massachusetts report for
1897 page 1TD presents comparative
statistics for 4,695 Identical establish
ments for the years 1896 and 1897,
showing average annual earnings as
Si26.66 in the former and $421.G9 in
the latter year. The average time work
ed was 2S1.03 days in the former and
2S3.33 days in the latter year. Thus
there was So less pay for over two
days work more.
The report for 1898 page ~ gives
statistics of 4,101 establishments for
the years 1897 and 1898, which show
average annual earnings as $I22 26 in
1897 and S421.4S in 1898. The working
time had increased from 2S4.Oo days to
2S6.2S days. Thus there was paid 10
cents less for over two more DAYS
work.
The Massachusetts and Pennsylvania
reports for 1899 are not yet at hand.
These figures, for which we are indcbt-
ed to Mr.. ii. l.. Bliss in the Chicago
News, are a sufficient answer to the
statement that wages have been in
creasing under Republican rule. Wages.
it is true. have undoubtedly increased
in few strongly unioniZed industries,
but as to this it may be enough to say
that-as every well-informed persons
knows-Republican capitalists and Re-
publican corporations have strained
every effort to smash the labor unions,
and the success of Mckinley and the
trusts would be long step toward the
accomplishment of that object.

Republican National Committee Sends
Ont Secret Scare Letter.
The Republican National Committee
has in the course of the past two weeks
manifested in various ways its alarm
and apprehension for the result of the
popular verdict in November. As an
-ihdication Of the alarm amcng the Re
! publican managers and as samp.e of
their embarrassment, a letter has been
issued under the auspices of "The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Indianapolis
Monetary Convention" which has been
| sent out TO prominent men and firms
throughout the country.
! A few paragraphs of the letter are
| here given:
There is great danger that the Bry-
ante silverites advocates will. by the
November election, gain control of the
lower house of the Fifty-seventh Con-
gress. II they gain representatives
from eight districts and keep what they
now have. they will be in the majority.
There is little doubt but that they will
gain at least three in North Carolina.
and there are at least five other dis
tricts now represented by sound money
men that they are likely 10 carry this
year.
ut will be very difficult for the sound
money people to prevent the Bryanites
from gaining the districts mentioned,
and 1t is likewise very difficult for the
sound money people to gain any new
districts.
! 1T is absolutely necessary to gain
some new districts, and a struggle must
be made to save many that are now
represented by sound money members.
The sound money candidate in your
district must be supported.
Can we depend upon you to do your
duty? If so. please send us the names
of ten important men in your city or
county whom you believe we can in
fiuence by personal letters. and oblige,
Faithfully yours, II. H. HANNA,
