HrR MAD MARRrAGE.

This romantic melodrama had it's first Waterbury presentation last evening at Polls and scored an 1n- stant and emphatic success. There is an originality about the story and its treatment that gives a touch of nov city to the play and makes it unique among melodramas, and the present ing company plays it in most satis- factory manner. A good sized audi ence is witnessing its repetition this afternoon and it ought to draw well at its final presentation this evening. Prices are 25, 35 and 90 cents.

outlay, but Turkey is a notorious de-
faulter of her obligations. and it is
known that Russia. lost at least $4,000
600 on the transaction. For that by no
power of Russia's resources, she was
permitted to lead her troops to the
gates Of Constantinople.
When the United States was in her
recent conflict with Spain the naval
board issued an official notice to the eff
feet that when Admiral Simpsons feet
overcame Cervera's fiotilla 1858 shots
were fired at a cost of 100000. The
expense of defeating Admiral Montijo
at Manila was given by the same au-
tkority as $4,000 On that occasion
1851 projectiles were fired, and it may
be said that in consideration of the re-
suits the expense was not excessive. 1t
must not be supposed, however, that the
war was an especially cheap episode.
It was certainly a serious matter for
the Spanish treasury, already depleted
by the constant revolt of her distant
colonies Debts to the amount of $780,
100000 were added to her numerous
other obligations by her short investi-
cation of Americas naval resources. AS
for the Americans themselves, the ex-
pense was almost too great to be re-
garded as an unconsidered trif1e, espe-
further expenditure of much treasure
in the Philippines. In the light of her
last few years experience as a man
ager of colonial dependencies it is not
unlikely that Spain was not so unfor
tunate as her humiliation led her to be-
neve.
That war is one of the most costly of
national diversions will be made appar-
emit to both japanese and Russian tax
payers before long. No war ever waged,
however-except those frightful in
ternecine outbreaks, like the French
revolution, that turn their country into
a veritable SHAMELESS as expensive,
on the whole, as is the price of peace.
This statement, of course, applies only
to those nations which maintain i'm
mense standing armies. NJ. Bloch. the
noted Polish publicist, author of the IA
nous work entitled as War Now I'm
possible ?'-the book, be it remembered,
which is said to have Influenced the
car to advocate his peace conference
scheme-estimated that Europe paid
tribute yearly of $1,125, 200, 900, or near
Iy $3,100,000 a day, to maintain her
military and naval establishments. On
the principle that a great army and
navy are the strongest factors for the
preservation of peace, that tremendous
outlay may be called the price of the
cultivation of the olive branch.
That this sum is well spent so long as
it assists in preserving peace no hu-
rnanitarian will deny. NJ. Bloch shows
that fact conclusively in his estimate of
the cost of a war between Russia and
France on the one side and the Triple

It is no secret that the finances of
neither Japan nor Russia were in a
condition at the beginning of their
present hostilities to warrant the ex-
travagance of war. Russian fiscal mat
tiers were VIGOROUSLY askew. and ia
pan had other and better plans for the
investment of her savings of so many
toilsome years. Whatever may be the
outcome. it means long years of strug-
gle and national deprivation. A brief
study of the financial history of some
famous national struggles will demon
strate that fact
According to the most accurate fig
ures which can be obtained, the Amer
lean civil war cost no less than the al
most uncomfortable sum of 5000. Oo0,-
600. This estimate, of course. is intend
ed to cover more than war expenses.
Any attempt to collect and tabulate
extraneous losses would be an impos-
sible undertaking. Taking the pen
sion list, compensation for damages,
loss of trade and similar items into
consideration, the expenditure must
easily have amounted to as much as the
running expenses of the war, which, ac-
cording to the late Professor MulhalI
an expert of unQuestioned ability,
amounted in the campaigns of 1s63-65
TO $500. 900. 900. The same indefatiga-
bic statistician assessed the cost of the
worlds wars for the last ninety years
at 5.235. 0O0. 900. In this decade less
than century there was an even more
srupendous and infinitely more impor-
tant expenditure than this-the fnsati-
ste Moloch of war had demanded the
hwes OF 4.47o,00o men.
