OUR PACIFIC ARMADA.
lFrom the baltimore sum !

tfrom the baltimore sum-
The "lnvincible Armada" indeed
exceeded this armada in the number
Of vessels and the number of men.
There we're 131 vessels in the Spanish
armada as against 43 In this American
fleet after the reunion on the other
coast, and the number OF men who
win start out under Admiral Evans
command Is less than $4,000, as com.
pared with $4,000 sailors and soldiers
under the Spanish commander. Bat
the machinery OF a modern battleship
magnifles the fighting capacity of the
men on board enormously. Captain
Bradley A. Ffske OF the navy, in an
article In the Naval Institute, esti.
mates the strength Of Admiral Evans
fleet. and its capacity for destruction,
as being equal 10 an army Of 10000
men. He arrives at that startling esii.
mate by comparing the rifles which
land forces carry with the 12.inch
guns on the battleships. An army u
100000 infantry carries 100000 rifles,
and II all these rifles were discharged

OF the bullets at the muzzle would be
only 2 per cent more than the energy
OF two 12-inch guns. Besides this the
energy OF l2.inch gun is concentrai.

places which cannot be reached by a
navy, but II Is also true that a navy
can assail places which an army could
not reach. The comparison that Cap
tain Fiske makes is the fighting power
Of battleship at sea with that OF an
army Of 100000 men on land.

Middle-cIas. Expenditures In Enslane

(Chicago Record. .Herald.)
There have been many discussions
IN this country over the question of 5
living income, and there have beer
remarkable revelations by ingenious
statisticians OF the purchasing power
Of seven cents or some such sum. II
IS interesting, therefore, TO come upon
n debate In q country where the av
erage income is smaller than It is
here over what is called middleclass
expenditure and TO fnd that the mid
dle-class income is placed aB high as
$4,000 year.
This debate was preclpitated In a
London paper, The Spectator, by the
plant OF "A Bad Economist" who
said that he had the $4,000 a year
income. that his children cost him
IN clothes and education $2250, his
rent 5000, repairs $3.50; that he kept
four maid servants and one gardener
that he entertained little, that his
wife was not extravagant, that he had
neither carriage nor motor car and
that with all his apparently reason
able expenditures he could not make
both ends meet.
The cry OF this poor man caused
Some disturbance naturally, and the
result was an experience meeting In
the columns OF the paper. One CORE
spondent who lived abroad said that
this circumstance forced him to pay
more for rent and food than would have
been necessary In England, but that II
also gave him the beneft of some
economies. His income was s3750
Figuring s. 10 the pound, as we do in
every case noted, and he managed to
have $500 to the good at the end OF
the year. He expaiped that he Dor.
rowed an idea from the system OF
ship-owning, and apportioned his. ex-
penditures into sixty-fourth parts OF
his fixed income, making the division
later into seventy-ffth parts. One
seventy-ffth would be $50, which Is
the /nnit OF his system. Ten parts. or
$500. went to house rent, $3.50 TO life
Insurance, s125 for servants wages,
$3.50 to a governess; SIS, nre and
light: sl375, housekeeping; 1915. dress
for man. wife and child; $3.50, all 9TH
er current expenses.
"A Younger Son" wrote that ne got !
along on a smaller expenditure than
$4,000, though, he added plaintively,
'.some OF our friends seem able to do
twice as much as we do with certainly
not twice our income" He gave these
items. Rental S4b0. repairs ahout
sl25; garden, with no regular gard
ener, 500; stable. excluding hunt sub
scriptions, etc, $3.50. This family
kept three maid servants.
With these communications was one
signed "Contentus Sorte Mea," which
the editor reports was from a clergy
man: This satisfied and happy CORE
spondent testified that his income for
40 years had averaged from $500 10
$3.50 per snnum, that his present in
come was $760, or, after payment of

OTHER NOTABLE coMnArs.

Besides the duels of note there
have been many American duels
in the West Of which little has
been heard. Most Of these en-
counters have been with pistols as
weapons and they have usually
been impromptu in thefr nature.
Not infrequently innocent specta-
tors have been more severely hurt
than have the participants. The
American duel Of note and the
American duel of insignilicanee
have all Uttered materially from
the French duel in that somebody
usually gets hurt here-eyen if it
is only somebody who stopped to
look on Taken all in all, there is
IN more senselesa or useless thing
than the duel and the greatest
surprise of all is that 1t ever got a

Victory Looks Certain.

The Washington Herald OF
recent date contained an inter
view with Mr.. Albert Lee Thur
man, a prosperous Columbus at
torney and grandson of the ''Old
Roman" in which the Ohio man
says
"Only on rare occasions can the
Democrats hope to carry Ohio,
and it is not improbable that 1908
will be the exceptional year which
we may win. There is no use W whieh
disputing the fact that the Repub-
licans of our state are badly split,
and their dissensions, instead Of
healing, are apt to grow more
bitter, The chance of a compro-
mise between the Foraker and
Taft factions is very slim; it is
war to the knife between them
from now until the nomination of
presidential candidate and even
then the fight may be carried to
the polIs. In this family row lies
the hope of Democratic triumph
in Ohio,
There is nothing new or sur
prislng in Mr.. Thurmsn's state
ment 1t is the story told by
leading Demo Gratis from all parts
of the state, and it is the story
trembIingly whispered by leading
Republicans to each other when
they meet and discuss politics
There is no Disgusting the fact
that the Democrats of Ohio view
the approaching presidential cleo
tion with more complacency and
hope than they have shown in
years, and, conversely, that our
brethern watch its
IN fear and trembling.
There is reason for it all. 1t isl
not alone due to the fact that the
Democrats of Ohio are more nearly
together than they have been In u
decade, or that the Republicans
for the fret time within like
period are torn assunder by deadly
and irreconcilable Rational quar-
rels, but to these must be added
the undeniable fact that thousands
Df thinking Republicans are be
ginning to realize that they are
Democrats themselves in all but
name and are ready and anxious

party which stands for the prln-
;iples in which they believe, The
quarrel adds hope to
