RISING COST OF SOLDIERS.

General Macarthur has recommend
ed the payment of a bounty of $3.50
to every soldier in the Philippines
who re-enlists for another term And
so anxious are the men to return
home that no certainty is felt that
even this liberal bonus will suffice to
keep our standing army in Asia up
to the 10000 mark lat which General
Macarthur has said 1t must be main
tanned. The terms of the great ma
jority of all our soldiers out there eX
pire on June 30 next, and if they can
not be persuaded to re-enlist the ne
cessity for ellisting new men to take
their place will have to be faced.
is made that the British government
has been forced to multiply by four
the per diem pay of its mounted troops
in South Africa in order to recruit
their constantly depicting ranks. 1t
is thus made plain that to keep $4,000
American troops in Asia and 100000
British troops in Africa, in wars which
the commanders in each case have de-
clared to be over except as to guer-
rilla and bushwhacking operations,
bounties and greatly increased pay for
the private soldiers are necessary.
AS financial investments wars of
conquest are doubtful, even for the
nations that get their soldiers by com
pulsory enlistment, as Germany and
France do, but for the United States
and Great Britain, which have to buy
their services in the open market, in
competition with the peaceful indus
ahead Of our own venture in Asia
there looms the specter Of another
heavy pension roll.-New York World.

CLEVELAND'S ADVICE.
Ex-President Cleveland contrib-

Ex-P President Cleveland contributes
an article of some length on the pres
ent condition of the Democratic party
and what it should do in the future.
Much of what he says is not impor-
tant for future considerations. Every
body knows as we'll as he that the
party has twice been beaten, and the
question now is what to do next. II
is easy enough to bemoan the past, but
the practical question is of the future
He embodies all he has to say at the
close in the remark: Give the rank
and file a chance" Certainly, by all
means. But the rank and file have had
infinitely more chance under Bryan
than It did under Cleveland. The for
mer is thousand times more man
of the people than is the latter. We
would not blame the ex-President, how
ever, since his tastes and associations
were not in accord with the Western
man. The future of the party will
shape itself, and the party will see its
way clearer as the days go by. But
surely Mr.. Cleveland should know that
parties, as a rule, do not go backward.
There isn't much going backward in
this world. Like everybody else, po-
litical parties must go forward.-Law-
renee (Mass.) News.

LICKING REVENUE STAMPS.

How much relief the people will get
from the repeal of war taxes is not yet
apparent. The war In the Philippines,
which Senator James Mcmillan stated,
when in Jackson short time before
election. would end in month If Nc
Kinley was reelected, still goes on, and
fifteen hundred dead soldiers were
brought home in single transport, the
Hancock, short time ago. The con-
tinuation of the war in the islands will
necessarily prevent the lowering Of
taxes to peace basis, and the Hanna
subsidy job will demand an increase
of money from the people. Hanna
says the shipping business is not
profitable, but just why the people
should be taxed to make that or any
other business profitable is not obvious
to any class except the subsidy-mong-
ers.
Many kinds of business are burdened
by the stamp tax. The brewers have
made push for reduction; and OBJ
tanned relief of 40 cents barrel

war the tax was 81 barrel. Relief Is
also urged from the stamp tax on pate
emit medicines, and 1t would seem as II

TEN MILLIONS A DAY.

The congress which adjourned Sat
urday for the Christmas holidays Is
appropriating money at the rate Of
ten millions day for every day of the
session, and 1t has not yet reached the
big appropriation bills. The average
will be greater then. The Philippines
are costing $l15,OOO,O00 a year, not
counting the expense of bringing home
the volunteers and replacing them by
new men. The total receipts from the
year. Even the commercial argument
fails to balance on that showing.
1t is said that Secretary John Hay
contemplates resigning from the cab
met If the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is
seriously amended Well, he could be
spared easily enough. 1t is we'll for
the country to know that the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate are exerting pres
sure to have the treaty amended so
that we can have a Nicaraguan Canal
which will be a credit to this nation,
and which can be properly defended
1t is due to the steadfast and patriotic
action of the Democrats that the mat
ter is gradually taking reasonable
shape. Some plain truths are preached
to the Republicans in the frequent ex-
ecutive sessions now being held.
The treaty is being so stubbornly
contested that the holiday recess is
likely to find the Senate congested with
heaps of unfinished business. The
House grinds out everything the ad-
ministration desires, but the Democrats
make it clear in the Senate-where
their power can be usefully exerted-
that despite the recent defeat they are
working to save the country from the
reckless extravaganza and misuse of
power which characterizes the Repub-
lican policy.-Burlington Qa) Demo

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Edwin G. Madden third assistant
postmaster general, presents some sug-
gestive figures and reflections in his re-
port. He shows that out of hearty 49,
OOO,00 articles handled in the regis
tered mail by employees numbering
high in the thousands, only 81 pieces
were lost by accident carelessness or
dishonesty-a statement whose force
can only be appreciated after a
thoughtful contemplation Of the mean
ing of the stupendous figures. And he
shows that during the same time there
was transmitted through the mails
about 81 ,667 800 ,O0O-more than a bill
lion and half-in government money,
not one dollar of which was lost.
Surely no greater testimonial is pos
sible to be given to any service than
these astounding figures" Mr.. Madden
says, land it is doubtful if any private
corporation in the world can match it.

confidence intrust billions of dollars Of
its money to the registered mails-and
1.-THE government matter is not hedged

blest Northumberland cause for ap-

vate citizen from patronizing this SER

pertinent to this subject, which should
be asked at this point, is this: If to
the government may be intrusted the
administration Of this vast public util-
ity, which enters SO intimately into the
life of the people, and If the govern
ment thus proves it's worthiness. what
cause, for apprehension can exist among
fairminded men to deter them from
placing all other interstate public
utilities-the railways, telegraphs, and
the express-under the same benefi-
cent administration, to the end that
that which is the public's shall be run
for the sole benefit of the public, leav-
ing to private enterprise the splendid
field of effort which remains and de-
stroying at the same time a dangerous
system of special privilege Farmer

=. typographical Affairs.

James M. Lynch, president Of the
International Typographical Union, re-
turned to Indianapolis from Louisville,
KY, where he went as delegate to
the convention Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Mr. Lynch says that
the complaint of Typographical Union,
No. 8, of Cincinnati, against the Ohio
Federation Of Labor, embodied in a
resolution introduced at the Federation
convention by Lynch, was referred to
the executive council of the Federation.
The resolution asked that the Ohio
Federation be Investigated. because of
complaints that the order is being used
for political purposes. There was no
opposition to the reelection of Samuel
Gompers," said Mr. Lynch, and the
reports regarding the candidacy of
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers, were without founda-

throughout the convention, and Com

Women's Work.

A recent study Of the industrial po-
sition women now occupy in New York
state discloses some facts of interest
TO women everywhere. The first
thing which attracts attention is the
increase in the number of women who
support themselves and the greatly in
creased list of occupations open to
them. Fifty years ago there were only
twenty callings in which women were
engaged. Today they compete with
men in almost every known occupa-
ton. In the middle of the century only
one woman worked for every ten men
The ratio at present is one to four, and
ten years later it will probably be
lower still. Moreover, women are
changing from unskilled to skilled. lar
borers; thereby increasing their own
earnings and adding to the wealth :f
the community. Only thirty years ago
two-thirds of all the self-supportng
women in New York state were domes-
tic servants; that is to say, unskilirl
laborers. The relative number has
gradually decreased, until now the
domestic" represents. only one-third
of those who work. -, In diversity of
calling the men have little advantage
over their sisters. Among New York
women there are more than five hun
dred hotelkeepers, five hundred jani-
tors, one Thousand journalists, one
hundred and fifty preachers, and one
Hundred each of lawyers. dentists, in
ventors, designers and physicians.
Even occupations heretofore regarded
as exclusively masculine have their
representatives. There are women
blacksmiths, brickmakers, butchers,
glassworkers, gunsmiths, tanners, ma
chinists, marble cutters, sawmill
hands, steam boiIerma kers, engineers,
and woodworkers. Feminine ingenuity
has also created new occupations. Ono
woman has established what she calls
a "cattery," where she breeds high
class Angoras. Another is physician
for parrots, mockingbirds and canaries
and still another a dolls bootmaker.
Much of woman's Industrial progress
is attributed to the repeal. of the law
under which husband was entitled
to his wife's earnings. Let us hope
that the women, when they obtain full
political power, will refrain from pass
ing any law under which wife will
be entitled to all of her husbands
earnings.-Youth's Companion.

THE POPULIST IDEA
is ENGAGING THOUGHT IN
EVERY LAND.
Compulsory Arbitration Between EN-
ployer and Employo VIII Yet Bo
Law of Our Country-Those Who OPP
pose It

The labor and arbitration conference
held under the auspices o. the National
Civic Federation in Chicago recently
is another movement indicative of the
spirit which today recognizes the force
of the biblical injunction, Come, let
us reason together and through
which only may we hope to see the
pressing problems of our social and
economic life forever solved. 1t Is too
early to estimate the results of the
conference, but the simple fact that
men representing all phases of the
labor-and-capital question did come
together and, talking face to face one
with the other, sought to find basis
for action in the interest of harmony
and good fellowship, is of large i'm
portance and contains a promise for
the future of infinite hope. The most
important discussion, perhaps, con-
cerned the question of compulsory ar
bitration. In this connection, it is
suggestive that Hugh H. Lusk. ex-
member of the New Zealand parlia-
ment, and an earnest advocate OF COM
pulsory arbitration as it obtains in
the antipodes, after presenting the ad-
vantages of that form, admitted that
he could not Imagine how an arbi-
tration court could be set up in Amer
lea which would not be under the con-
trolling influence of the wealthy class
to which its members would belong
nor how labor could be brought to
have confidence in such a court il 1t
were set up" This naturally raises
tle questions: Why, if the labor Of
Australia confides in its governmental
proceedings and is willing to intrust
its sacred interests to the care of men
named by government, are not the
same conditions to be found here?
And what is there is our system or
practice which thus creates distrust
and fear that injustice may here be
done? Questions, it seems to us, bear
ing vitality upon the relations of the
people to the governments govern
ment theoretically Of and by and for
the people themselves. The very ex-
istence Of such state is a reflection
upon the ways into which we have
fallen, and calls for wise counsel and
action.-New York Journal.

cost the colonies some 100000 per
annum. The amount is made up Of

ture, G112000; civil establishments,
e18,5OO; treasury, 100000; justice,

lation of Australia this means one

Houses Scarce in Berlin.

Berlin. like other great cities, is suf-

absence of dwellings suitable for the
constantly Increasing population. The

tress of these people is so great that
the authorities propose to build prem
Uses for the exclusive purpose of stor-

for these unfortunate people, though
unable to find roof, earn money and
are without household goods. The crux
of the matter is the lack of small
houses. The building trade prefers to
erect huge and rather expensive edi-
fees, and the rents of these are such as
persons of small means can not afford
to pay, and yet the Berlin municipality
spends every year about four millions
sterling for the benefit of the poor and
homeless. Meanwhile, the housing
problem is becoming more critical, and
in reality constitutes much more i'm
portant subject than even the Chinese
situation. In other German towpS the
misery of the crowded out is n@. 50
acute but the growing seriousness of
the situation demands immediate at

Lord Salisbury rendered an indirect
tribute to Earl Rosebery in bringing
up the housing question at the Con-
sentative conference at the Whitehall
rooms. He grew eloquent in advocat-
ing the re-housing of the masses as
the most urgent of all the issues of
social reform, and he took the precau-
ton of referring to an old-time speech
of his on the subject, probably as
proof that he was not recent con-
vert to the cause revived by Rosebery
Practical reformers not in politics
make no concealment Of the fact that
philanthropy and municipal socialism
have failed to relieve the congested
centers of London's population, and
that the underground electric transit
offers the only practical solution of the
housing problem by keeping the mil
lions in the suburbs in touch with their
work The London County Council
has not attempted to grapple with the
transit problem, but has left private
companies free to burrow deep in the
clay strata underlying the metropolis.
The Paris municipal council, in con-
structing a similar system as public
work. has cheapened the process by
borrowing the money required at low
rates. The London County Council
might have accomplished the same re-
suit, and the facilities for economic
financing were more important here
than in Paris, for deep level tunnels
are more expensive than tunnels close
to the surface, and viaducts and open
cuttings are impracticable in Lon
