About $4,000 OF our money is sent to
England every year. while Scotland
gets some $4,000 and Mexico about
$4,000. 1t would be difficult for a
steamer, out Cor a cruise around the
world, to touch at any port without
finding an American pensioner within
reach. There are four pensioners in the
Azores and the same number in the

fourteen in China. forty-seyen in Cuba

yUDeE pARKen,s REMARKS.

Judge Parker now knows that he was
nominated for President BY the conven-
ton which met at st. Louis. He was
told yesterday and though not exactly
surprised by the information he showed
that he was deeply interested by it.
Probably he is not superstitious. If he
were he might have noticed that the
skies wept copiously over the alleged
good news that was carried to him, and
he might have had q notion that damp
ened enthusiasm at the start is omin-
Gus.
Judge Parker's remarks viii be care
fully read and considered. and they will
please many, He speaks of ''the admir-
able platform" which doesn't say gold
and made 1t necessary for him to say
gold. He is for the Constitution
even between friends. He is for law
and order proper revision Of the tariff.
enforcement OF the law against the
bad trusts, more law against them if it
is needed, real liberty for the Filipinos,
a decrease Of the military mania, and
the setting Of good example to other
countries by the United States.
IN conclusion Judge Parker declares
that II he Is elected he will not seek or
accept denomination, because he be-
lieves that IN dealing with public mat
tiers the President should be unembar-
raised by any possible thought Of infiu-
ence his decision may have upon any
thing whatever that may affect him
personally. This declaration and atti-
tude may be both impressive and just
right, but this country didn't feel that
it could get along without washington

LORD KITCHENER AND THE PIGS.

LORD KITCHENER AND THE PIGS.
It has often been remarked that Lord
Kitchener's success as a soldier was in
q great measure due to his capacity as
business man.. His father, Major
Kitchener. was a soldier, too and a
business man to boot. 1t may not be
generally known that the father Of Eng
lands modern organizer Of victory"
went to Kerry in the first place as the
practical man of a syndicate formed in
England to develop the Irish peat indus
| try on a new plan.i
The scheme ended in smoke" the
gallant major lost some Of his spare
cash, and at the same time fell in love
with the scenic beauty of Kerry. He
accordingly took up his residence at
Gunsboro' House. and there the future
sirdar and his brother passed their ear
lest years. A gentleman who Is now a
magistrate in Listowel remembers the
elder Kitehnsr as a stern disciplinari-
an and driver of hard bargains.
While at Gunsboro' House Major
Kitchener devoted himself to raising
pigs with more or less success. Accord
ling to custom, the pigs were sent to be
sold in the nearest market. While
waiting purchasers. the animals were
minded by the young Kitcheners, who
had a direct interest in disposing Of
them. 1t was reported, and believed in
the district, that the boys were sent to
market without breakfast, and got none
liz the pigs remained unsold.-west-

US1vERsAL PEAcE Nor IN srGHE

The way the Europeans feel obliged
to eye each other is illustrated by the
fact that the viennese newspapers have
been exhibiting signs of apprehension
over reports that the Italian War Office
is considering plans for the erection of
various Qualifications on the Austro-
italian frontier. A short time ago, it
appears, some officers of. the Italian
General Staff visited Camonica valley
to choose a site for fort to command
the Tonale Pass, which leads into the
Tyrol General, Saletta has been in
specting the Venetian Notifications of
Brondolo and Carpenedo, and, in COM
pany with several officers Of the Gen
era1 staff, is about toinspect the Galore
district. The general, who is a we'll
known authority on fertilization, is the
author of plan for the strengthening
of the eastern frontier, which was
drawn up some time ago, but not ac-
cepted by the War Office on account of
the large outlay required It is suppos-
led that his present tour of inspection is
connected with a revision Of this plan.

Upon these facts certain Viennese pa
pers have constructed theories of i'm
pending trouble over the Balkan policy.
but it is pointed out that Italy. even il
she Is really displaying any special ac-
tivity on her eastern and northern
frontiers. is merely initiating the ex-
ample of Austria. which in recent years
has erected many forts in the Tyrol and
elsewhere to guard against an italian
attack. Both nations may be taking
precautions against future eyentuali-
ties, but the present relations existing
between them appear to be quite
friendly.
Universal peace evidently isn't much
nearer than it was just before the war
between Russia and Japan broke out.

uNTAuGHr TEAcHERs.

It is aptly out that the reputation
which the United States has for its free
public schools would be more deserved
if the teachers were better paid. The
average monthly salary for teachers
through the entire country is only $40
for men and $50 for women, a fact which
Undoubtedly accounts for much Of the
incompetency in the teaching force.
Apropes the low standard among teach
|ers In some sections comes the story
from Lansford, a small eastern Pennsyl-
vania town. where the local school
superintendent was called uopn til
answer charges that he had been unfair
in computing the averages Of teachers
at a recent examination He not only
refuted the charges, it Is stated, but
showed that sofnesof the teachers were
surprisingly deficient In Intelligence by
handing over To the School Board the
ridiculous answers he had received to
over a score oflquestions, among them
being the following:

The minimum salary Of teachers In
Pennsylvania Is fixed at $35 a month.
The low salaries obtaining generally
throughout the State are undoubtedly
often leaving position in the teaching
profession at the mercy of applicants Of
mediocre equipment, such as the above.
This state Of affairs is fortunately being
generally recognized, and In many
places, as in Philadelphia, teachers
salaries are going up In response to the.
popular demand, not only for connpensa-

but also for a higher standard of

BAD MONEY FOR THE COUNTY
FAIRS.

The counterfeiting Of small coins, for
which offence a dozen men have been
arrested in this State and New Jersey
within the past ten days, is given impe-
tus every year at this season, according
| to Secret Service operatives, by the APP
lproach Of the county fair.y The opera
Itives say that the opportunities to pass
bad money at the many State and
county fairs throughout the East are
such that small counterfeiters, thieves
and the worst class Of fakirs cannot let
them pass.
Some men who follow the circuit Of
fairs will do anything, except work
honestly, to make little money, and
they turn to the moulding of cheap
|counterfeits to get small capital To start.
some taking enterprise, or to use in con-
nection with the operation Of such en-
terprise at the fairs. AS a result there
lis usually counterfeiting going on on a
small scale in many places throughout
the east this season.
| These makers of small coins move
from place to place, and when the fairs
open, the farmers, the farm hand, and
the country young man who takes his
sweetheart to the country exhibition get
as many of these counterfeits as the
fakir can turn over in exchange for
good money. 1t is believed that the
so-called tramps who were found maxi
ling counterfeits near Burlington, and
others recently arrested by Chief
Matthew f. Griffen and his slbordinates

coNTRABAND TOBACCO IN ENG
LAND.

What becomes of the contraband to-
bacco seized by the customs? The
early practice was to bury it. This
senseless waste suspended for time by
the happy idea OF distributing the to-
bacco among the troopships.
That did not last long, and next year
we hear Of the contraband being smoked
in the Queens pipe" a huge receptacle
which could turn hundreds Of tons into
smoke in a few hours" Again the mis-
giving Of the waste troubled the au-
thorities, and they took to RECALLING the
criminal lunatics in certain Government
asylums. Any tobacco that was left
over was ordered for the use Of troops
sent on foreign service. But that lux
ury seems to have been cut OFF once
more, although the criminal lunatics
still enjoy their pipes and cigars
One attempt was made to, throw the
|contraband, when 1t was slightly dam

Convicts In the penal institutions OF
Illinois are not enjoying hard labor.
Since July 1 they have been idle. The
last Legislature passed a law putting a
stop to tn eleasing of this prison labor.
The intention was to set the prisoners
at work for the State, but some con-
tractors, who had been making a very
good thing in leasing this labor, went
before a judge and obtained an in.
junction restraining the authorities
from putting the prisoners at work in
any way. The authorities were order
ed In this injunction not to expend the
money which the legislature had APP
propriated to buy materials on which
the convicts could be put to work on
the state account. The convicts are
beginning to suffer az consequence OF
this enforced idleness, Their mental
and physical condition has notoriously
deteriorated.
