What Our Arm1 Costs.

Tuesday the House passed the army
appropriation bill, carrying Sl1S.O00.-
600 less about 5000. 1t is stated in
the dispatches as something TO the
credit of the House that this sum is
about Sl2. 100000 less than the esti-
mates. We can tell better about the
amount of credit due when we see how
much has to be appropriated when the
| next Congress meets to cover deficien
cy.
Representative Mcclellan of New
York no doubt had the deficiency in his
| minds eye when he stated in debating
the bill that the total cost Of our mill
tary establishment was close to SIPS,
100000 year. This, he said, was ex-
| elusive of the cost of past wars in the
form of pensions, etc, amounting now
to over $154 ,O0O.O 900 year.
Mr.. Mcclellan pointed out that the
cost of the present establishment was
at the rate Of S1.2SS for each man in
the service. while counting pensions,
etc, it was S2.S2S for each man. The
cost of the German soldier. including
pensions and cost of past wars, was
only S22I, and the cost of the French
soldier, including the past items, not
forgetting the great war fine paid 10
Germany, was S232.
From this statement 1t appears that
the American soldier costs nearly
twelve and half times as much as
the German. This Is fact not to be
left out Of the account II We are going
TO regard conquest in purely CONNER
cial light. We are not in position to
compete with Germany. France or any
other country of Europe in the business
conquest and military occupation rs a
commercial venture while our army
costs so many times as much as theirs.
The highest cost Of our military es-
tabllshment for more than quarter
of century before the war with Spain
was less thar. s54,GOO.OOO. That was
In 1894. In 1897 it was less than S5O.-
100000, and there is no reason why the
home service should cost as much as
that. The actual cost. according 10
Mr.. Mcclellan. is more than two and
a half times that sum. We are spend
ing very nearly $4,000 900 a year more
for army alone, not to speak of the
navy, then we expended before the war
with Spain.
Regarding this merely in the light of
a commercial transaction, will someone
explain where the American taxpayer
is getting. or Is ever likely to get, any
returns justifying so large an invest
ment? Until someone offers an expla-
nation we may well object 10 paying
more millions for more islands to be
held by the army.-Chicago Chronicle.

MILLIONS. FOR a IRUST.

An ugly scandal lies half-conccaled in
the war tax reduction bill. says Wash
| ington correspondent. The great to
| bacco trust has been made present Of
about S9.Oo0,OO0 through the favoritism
OF IFS friends in the Senate committee
| on finance. When the extraordinary
bill of the Senate committee was made
public the shares of the American To-
bacco Company rose eleven points in
the New York stock market, and il is
understood that certain Senators profit
ed by their inside information con
cerning the royal gift that was to be
made to the trust.
For some time il has been rumored
that the tobacco monopoly has power
ful friends in the finance committee,
and that they had succeeded in working
one of the prettiest schemes known to
the annals of American legislation. But
II was only during the last few days
that the full enormity of the grab be-
came known. As Senator Tillman said,
Enthusiastically but inelegantly, about
the subsidy bill, "the deeper we get into
it the louder ii stinks.''
The war tax reduction bill is now in
the hands Of a conference committee
representing the two houses, and this
scandal is stirring up the anger and in
dignation of the House confereeS and
their colleagues TO such an extent that
they swear before high heaven" the
col hol nt I,<,a ,nl
if all war tax reduction legislation fails.
1t is well to remember this oath and
await results.
To their surprise and CONSERVATION
the House conferees have discovered
that the Senate bill makes a total reduc-
ton of about S1S,OOO,e 600 on cigars and
tobacco of all sorts. Where the House
bill reduced these taxes $3,2OO.0O0, all
on cigars, the Senate goes them S15,-
100000 better.
The power Of the tobacco trust in the
Senate committee is shown in the fact
that of the S15,OOO.OOO of taxes taken
off by the Senate $11, 100000 is on goods
in which the two tobacco companies,
the American and the Continental
(which are really the same concern and
virtually under the same management
have almost monopoly.
1t has been computed by experts that
these two corporations will benefit TO
the extent of S9.095. 900 if the Senate
bill prevails, as they control about So
per cent Of the business in manufac-
tured tobacco and cigarettes.

tions aud the Republican party would
be in a minority in both houses of Con-
gress. The growth of gigantic trusts

Dealing with Crimes in Canada.
'From the Chicago Times Herald on Jan. L..
1301.)
The citizens of the Dominion of Can
ada have just cause TO be proud of their
record as law-abiding people. The an
nual report of the criminal statistics of
the Dominion, which has a population
of over 100000. shows that there
were only twenty-five indictments for
murder in 1899. of which only two
were left without final action. Eleven
of those indicted We're hanged, nine ac-
quilted and three confined as insane
Canada is a country Of vast proper
tions. Its people are scattered over
wide stretch of territory. making police
surveillance particularly difficult and
in many districts impossible Yet a
city like New York or Chicago alone
furnishes far greater criminal list
every year than the whole vast stretch
OF territory from Quebec TO Vancouver.
The Canadians ascribe their immu-
nifty from crime to the promptness with
which punishment is meted out to Of
tenders. When a man is caught red
handed in the act of rObbing another
he is not released on straw bail by
some justice of the peace from the
slums, TO go out and repeat the offense.
Sharp and sure justice is meted out to
criminals of all kinds. the result being
that when the guardians of the public
peace succeed in bringing a thug to the
bar they are seldom called upon to
bum 1,iy
Furthermore, there are few court de-
LAYS in Canada when a criminal is
brought to book. They have no Dreyer
cases oyer there. There are no meth
ods whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month to month and from year to year
or after being convicted. appeal from
one court to another until witnesses
die of old age or opportunities for cor
ruption can be found.
Nor does this swift method of treat
ing with wrong-doerS in Canada leave
the innocent unable TO properly defend
themselves. They have all the oppor-
tnnities and privileges that our own
laws extend TO them. The extent 10
shield the guilty is lacking-that is all.
The above taken from the editorial
column of the Times-Herald gives some
idea of the immunity from crime that
exists in Canada, and this is one of the
many inducements held out for AEIeri-
capSso settle in the district known as
We Capada. The season of 1901
