law against permanent appointments in
the staff corps and departments will re-
suit in course of time in all the grades
in the pay department being filled by
officers detailed from the line. He rec
ommends that the law*be amended so
as to limit details to vacancies occurring
in the grade of captain, for which cap
tains Of the line should be selected as
now, and that all grades above captain
should be made permanent appoint
ments. The amount expended on &C.
count of the pay of the army during the
year was 1851, 132. The last com plete
pay schedule for the army was passed
by congress thirty-fve years ago, and
the report contends that it is not suffi-
cient for the demands Of our times. The
fact that the army is underpaid, the
report adds, makes it impossible to re-
cruit out Of such classes as might be
wished.

overcrowding, was arrested by the COM
pany's officials. The company appealed
from the magistrates decision, but
afterward abandoned the appeal. Lon
don Truth remarks in noticing the incl
dent that cases in which an Individual
is suing a railway company ARE usually
fought out to the bitter end-even to
the house of lords-as a Encouragement
to other potential plaintiffs. The pre-
sumption is that passenger who re-
fuses to surrender railway ticket as
protest against overcrowding cannot
be legally detained in England.
1t would be going too far to say that
such is the law here. If it were, rail-
road and street railway companies
which pack humans more closely than
cattle are herded in stock cars would
be overwhelmed with damage suits, if
passengers stood on their rights as the
Englishman did. The rush to secure not
a seat, but precarious foothold on a
streetcar at certain hours and certain
points in American cities is an adven-
ture, an astonishing spectacle, to those
who have been accustomed to the more
orderly procedure in countries where
the comfort and convenience, possibly
the life or limb, of the passenger are not
sacrificed to corporate mismanagement
or greed.-Philadelphi Ledger

No Grounded Cars There

men are more disposed to assert their
individual rights when assailed than
Americans are The overcrowding of
: Sublic conveyances is practiced in this
puntry to an extent that is rarely toll
rated abroad. Our railroad and street
silway companies should be obliged to
provide accommodations for traffic
according to exigencies which may be
expected. The number of passengers
that steamboat may carry within the
limits of safety is carefully regulated

excessive crowding of passengers is u
common grievance. ...s. n -...
On some of the tramway lines rum
ming from London to popular suburban
resorts passengers are kept in line by
strong police force, and when a car
is comfortably filed it moves off and
others are drawn up to receive the over
flow. It is q mere matter of a suffi-
cheney Of cars to accommodate the
traffic which the company knows will
be heavy. In other cases passengers are
required to purchase tickets admitting
them to numbered seat in the tram

secure acc Communications. These methods

Cost Of the Army }.

~ RIGADLER. GENERAL FRANZ CHS
$. DODGE, paymaster general,
- in his annual, report submits
tables showing the relative cost of the
army. during the fiscal years 1875 and
1905, from which it appears that the
per capita cost of the entire army was
$992.29 in 1875 and $986.96 in 1905,
being $3,271.s2 for officers in 1875 and
.$3,345.7O in 1905, and in the case of
enlisted men $76S.01 in 1875 and $S37.4S
in 1905. The per capita cost of officers
and men on the active list was 1912 in
1875 and $984.98 in 1905. The average
pay of. officers on the active list was
$2,234.lO in 1875 and So, 209.45 in 1905,
and of enlisted men the, average pay
was $191,74 in 1875 and $187.20 in 1905.
The percentage of officers to enlisted
men was 7.97 in 1875 and 5.48 in 1905.
General Dodge says that if the 'appro-
priations for ordnance and transporta-
tion had no more than kept pace with
the increase in the army, the Individual
cost for 1905 would be $746.74 instead
Of $S5l.61, or an excess for 1875 over
1905 of $21.27.
= The paymaster general points out
that the enlisted men have now every
chance to put away money for their
own savings by the deposit system,
which guarantees them absolute safety.

I'm NO way do the ruling passions Of
men show themselves so strongly
n as by their wills. What curious
collection might be made of these last
testaments exhibiting the EXTREMIST
forms of vanity, benevolence, malig-
nancy and humor!
It will be remembered that H. Rider
Haggard in one of his books has the
will of man tattooed upon his Shout
ders, and that the same was admitted
to probate in the chancery court in
England. ~. .
And now this author is indicated by
the action of miser named MOnecke
who died recently in Mexico. His rela-
tives were unwilling that his body
should be inferred, as he had tattooed
his will over his chest with some red
pigment, instead of using pen and ink.
The court decreed that the remarkable
"human document should be copied
and the representation duly attested in
the presence of witnesses. This was
done, and the court has pronounced ths
queer will genuine. ~

"a ~ UGH is said from time to
~ b time, mostly by Americans
IL themselves, on the progress
iveness of America. 1t is now
time for us to take rear seat.
Little Iceland, storm-tossed, ice-clad, is
making such strides, at least relatively
speaking, that all other nations will
have to struggle to keep up with her.
= A report of the little country's affairs
covering the period from 1885 to 1902
informs us that her advancement has
been next to phenomenal. Her export
of fish alone has risen from 100000
to $2,500,000. This is a great deal
of fish, when we remember that the
total exports Of the country amount to
$2,80O,O0O. In 1895 Iceland had only
seventy fishing vessels; now she has
nearly 300. The rest Of her merchant
marine has more than doubled during
the last ten years, while at the same
time her communication with the out
side world has been rapidly increasing.
Thus before 1895 the communication
with Denmark was maintained by only
twenty voyages annually. Now the COM
plant is made that seventy such trips
are not enough. The agricultural prog
ress may be seen from these statistical
figures that follow:
The value of the hay crops has risen
from $618,900 to 1925, $3.50; the horn
cattle from $4,000 to $4,000; the sheep
from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
horses from $4,000 to $1,000. In 1885
the savings banks had only $4,000,
but in 1892 the figure had risen to $685.
900, with an increase in the revenues
of the national treasury from $256,000
to $545,O00.
The only thing which has been on a
decrease in Iceland is the use of alcohol.
Up to 1885 there was annually con-
sumed 5.9s litre per capita. In 1902
the figures had fallen to 2.73 litre, and
then still on downward career.

passengers, as well as the attendant ex-

mail transportation have been planned
in conjunction with passenger traffic.
The French have, very :, sensibly,

The Popular Loubet

TEW presidents Of the French re-
public were ever more popular
l. than Emile Loubet, says Henri
Chautavoine, in Figaro (Paris). There
have been more sudden and more start
ling examples of popularity, but none
so enduring. That of Mr.. Loubet has
grown year by year. The writer con-
tinues:
"tThe president Of the republic owes
his popularity, in the first place, to his
perfect simplicity. The provinces, which
are neither obtuse nor ungrateful, are
infinitely pleased to find that M. Loubet
has remained provincial in the best
sense of the word. People have never
forgotten, especially in the neighbor-
hood Of Montelimar and La Begude,
with what flial piety he makes his
yearly visit to Marsanne to see his aged
mother and to pay her the homage of
his affection and respect. He
has never denied either his modest
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-11-05

origin or the memories and the ties Of
his youth, which are the sweeter and
the more lasting because they preceded
all others and were more disihterested
than any that came later. Honors have
not turned his head; they have not
made him proud or distant or arrogant.
He thinks only Of accepting honors with
good grace, and in vacation time he
gladly lays them aside. He himself
recently declared (and his word may
well be taken) that he gives them up
without regret. This simplicity, which
it would be mistake to call American,
for nothing indeed could be more genu-
inely French, he has always displayed.
It has done much to strengthen Presi-
dent Loubet's popularity in the prov
inces. 1t has touched, and little by
little it has won, the hearts Of all in
a country where warm hearts are az
common as clear heads.
"M. Loubet s princely and charming
good-naturedness has the flavor Of his
intellectual qualities. Ever since his
selection, he has sought to escape parade
and to guard himself against uttering
high-fown phrases. He has no love for
them. He has never coined them, nor
has he ever permitted them to be coined
for him. Historic or legendary aph-
orisms, for the most part apocryphal,
are generally fabricated by the special
lists who put them in circulation. They
are brilliant but counterfeit pieces,
struck for the express purpose Of !digni-
flying an incident or exalting a hero.
They sometimes make the hero ridcu-
lous, and it is rarely that they serve to
increase his renown. NJ. Loubet never
needed any one to do his talking for
him when he thought the time had come
to give expression to his views, his feel
ings, or his hopes. By his approach
ableness and cordiality, and by the
happy appropriateness Of his bearing
and his words, he put himself in direct
contact with public opinion and in
direct contact with the nation. When
he passed by, he had no desire for noisy
demonstrations, choruses of cheers,
costly and useless decorations, or IN
necessary parade. His little journeys
were not exhibitions. He fronted the
enthusiasm of his people with gayety,
and responded to it with unfeigned
pleasure. When they shouted, 'Vive la
Republique!' adding 'Vive Loubetl' as
the president rode by, and this without
it costing them sou, he smiled, he
tipped his hat like an honest man and
a good citizen; he was happy"

Lost Vessels

4 N interesting question as to
~ what becomes of ships that
- for one reason or another
disappear from view and registry
lists is answered by Lloyd's Register.
which gives annually the return of
shipping lost or condemned. In the
past year the waste of shipping
amounted to s07 vessels of 73s, 145 tons,
excluding all under 100 tons, which, it
is interesting to note, is about the
yearly average, tho substantial con-
tribution to the list is made on account
of the naval operations at Port Arthur,
in the course of which some thirty
steamers were sunk
During the year there were 3A4 steam
ers and 463 sailing vessels lost, of which
wrecks were responsible for more than
half, while more than one-fourth the
total number were broken up and con-
demned, the remainder being distrib-
uted between loss in collision or sailing
ships abandoned at sea.
