this way to gradually train TIE people
into acceptance OF the army-tax bur-
den inseparable from q national policy
of Imperialism and militarism. As
yet, however, it is not possible to an
imperialist administration to hold back
those details which they have every
right to know. The army budget for
last year reached a total of Sis. 000,-
COO, exceeding the appropriation by
s3S, 900, 900. The appropriation for this
year is SIP, OO0, 900, which is SIC, 900, 900
less than the estimates, and it is be-
lieved that the final cost will reach a
total of $40, 900, 900. Contrasted with
the ante4McKinley figures, ranging
from $23, 900, 900 to $25, O00, 900 for the
annual cost of the army, these figures
are somewhat startling. A big stand
ing army is a menace to republican
government. It's cost is tremendous.
American voters are not helpless as
the people of Europe, crushed under
the burden of militarism. 1t will be
the fault of the voters if they consent
to assume such a burden. The Euro
pear policy of militarism and taxation
for militarism has no excuse for ex-
istence in this country.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 28.-Nego-
tiations are now being carried on in
Pittsburg and New York that are ex-
pected to result in a few days in the
formation of the Wheeling Consolidat-
ed Company, a concern which will pur-
chase and operate several mines in the
Wheeling district and own rs, 900 acres
of the best coal land of the mountain
State. Professor John M. Birch, one
of the promoters of the company, who
will be one of the largest stockholders,
is in Pittsburg now closing the deal.
The Wheeling Company has been
chartered in West Virginia, where the
corporation laws are almost as leni-
ent as those of New Jersey. 1t will
have a capital stock of $4,000, 900, and
is being financed in Pittsburg and New
York. All of the details in the mat
ter of forming the concern have been
completed.

BRITAIN is NOT OUT OF II
WOODS.


1t is only a question of time when
England defeats the Beers OF the
T%ransvaal unless there is intervention.
While the Beers naturally looked to
the worlds representative republic
the United States-to intercede in be-
half of their free government, in
t%ervention, if it comes at all, will not
come from Washington where the adj
ministration is hand-in-gloye with Sal
isbury's government, but most likely
from the most "autocratic government
of Europe-Russia.
In his recent interview in the indie
pence Beige of Brussels, Count Muir
avieff, the Russian Minister of For
eign Affairs, made some 1atfooted
statements that verge closely on
throwing down the gage of battle to
England. If this powerful diplomat is
correctly reported the Russian bear
will give the British lion every oppor-
tunity for a Scrap"
"England's military decadence," as
Count Muravieff boldly puts it, is n
strong temptation to the Russian bear,
although her unrighteous oppression
of the Beers is given as the main
cause of possible Russian interference.
All of which will not furnish pleas
ant reading in London. Stated in
brief, the Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs serves notice on the British
Government that Russia proposes to
continue her massing of troops on the
Indian frontier and to strengthen her
foothold in Persia, and that England
has 10 right to interfere. He also
bluntly declares that when the Rus
sian armies sweep down into India
from the Pamirs the day OF British SUI
premacy in India will have passed,
never to return.
This is plain talk" says the
Republic, with a plain object
in view. 1t remains to be seen how
it is received in England, to whose
statesmen and people it was unmistak-
ably addressed. Count Muravieff has
lifted the veil from rather an ominous
Suggesting in the great %melodrama
of municipalities. There is evidently
a stirring act in preparation for early
presentment."

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

Kentucky seems to be ~terrorized by
chance of disturbance nowadays the
knowing Kentuckian ducks or lodges
around the corner to escape the posi-
bic flying bullets. This was we'll illus
trated during the preliminary examina-
ton of Secretary of State Caleb Pow
ers, accused of completely in the muir
der of Gov. Goebel.
During the examination a spirited
verbal passage between counsel caused
a brief panic in the court room. Fear
ing that in the excitement serious trou-
Bile might be started, the crowd rushed
for the doors and windows. The dis
order prevented the answering of an
important question put to Golden re-
garding an alleged threat by Powers
to kill Secretary of State Hill.
This incident furnishes an insight
into the prevailing conditions in Ken
lucky where the hip pocket vies with
the courts as supreme arbiter of dis
putes.
Meanwhile Usurper Taylor continues
to defy the law and is quietly adding
to his armed henchmen by bringing
m~ountaineers to Frankfort in small
bodies, which would indicate that he
does not intend to abide by the decis-
ion of the courts.

THE cosT OF MrLIrARlsM.

The st. Louis Republic has prepared
a detailed estimate of the cost of Mr..
McKinley's policy of militarism and
conquest which contains some start
ling figures, regarding which the adj
ministration has endeavored to blind
the people as far as possible by sup
pressing and garbling reports and es-
Inmates as to the increased cost of the
army. This tricky policy of the imper-
ialists, u st. Louis contemporary
says, is exposed in the framing of an
appropriation bill many millions of
dollars below the authoritative esti-
mates of the mou necessary to
maintain the army for the next fiscal
year. That there will be a deficiency
of large proportions is known to the

EIkins Frightened.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
Mr.. Elkins, who is d~eservedly regarded
as a very shrewd politician, has become
frightened on his own account because of
the evident weakness of the candidate he
is trying TO force upon the people for Gov
ernor, and he is now trying to create the
impression among the opposition that he
and White have come to the parting of the
ways. E1kins has even said, by way of
conciliat.ng some very stubborn kickers,
that White and Scott are in. a combination
to defeat him. A bat blind person can see
through such nonsense, whose repetition is
only a waste of good Senatorial wind.
Every Elkins appointee in the State, WITH
out a single exception left to prove the
rule, is for White. To claim, therefore, as
Mr.. Elkins does, that he is not for White
is TO brand his party as fools-a branding
that may not be entirely without cause.
