DNESDAY, APBIL 1. Knows Who to Kick. sj i M?S Wagaily Deprecates the Annual War Scare. The New York Truth publishes the following from Senator localis, under tue, caption, "The Annual English War Scare:" The annual shriek auou^?Wu%1etrsV" less ooa5ts aud the bombardment of New York, Philadelphia and Boston bas been emitted. The yearly pamphlet describing the blood-curdling incidents and the appalling consequences of the war with Chile and Spain in 1905 has been sent to each senator and represen? tative ia congress. The editorial estimates in the metropolitan press of the amount of proper fy .within reach of an Italian iron-dad in the lower bay and of tb? ransom that could be extort? ed from the merchants and bankers have all been submitted, and are filed awayjor use lag|?n|?a 1892. .Their purfe^^^ recolle the'people "to the passif dP^Se iav*! appropriation bill snJwSnttrmos^ a$d profligate expendi to&P??? tn&? ??^?ace- For ships; fortiff cations and munitions of. war. The capacity of-the United States to create a navy in an eroergeucy was demonstrat? ed ur the civil war. When Lincoln was inaugurated on the4th of.March, 1861. we bai io northern ports four vessels, carrying 25 gu as and ' *28?~me?*~ The whole number in commission was 42, of which 26 employed steam as an auxi 1 ary, and the re. t were sailing and store ships. Many officers and men had resigned or were dismissed for disloyalty. In Novecubef^Jl861, our fleet had increased to 2?6 vessel?. In 1862, 163 were ad Jed ; in 1863, 161 ; tn 1864. 109. In 1865 the navy con? sisted of 671 craft of all grades, with an aggregate tonnage of 510,396, car? rying 51,500 men and 4 610 guns. Possessing at the outset neither mat?r ial?aiaaiuuitiai), Armaaieats or supplies %^as?o^too,, we. were required to ?Hintain, and did maintain, au effective blockade of 3.600 miles of coast with 190 harbor entrances, to- patrol the ocean and to keep the Mississippi open for, navigation to the Gulf. The duel between the Monitor and the Merrimac, ia Hampton?' Hoads, revolutionized naval- war??rer the 'problem" has since beea to construct armor that no projectile could penetrate, and then to invent projectiles that no armor could resist. European nations have been .if?oilot?iag these expensive experiments J hitherto, and the ships of 1880 are atrejady obeojeic and antiquated "for at? tack or?defense. Dynamite and other ..explosives complicate the situation, aa! the navy that we are now building a^^ts $1 $50,000,000 will be as w pr ib less- ic fi) 00 as Roman galleys Bti^lah?!, France and italy would gladly bril us their fleets at 50 per. cent, of their cost. The im fficieucy of a navy for naval - defense in case of war ap? pears from the 'feet that England, France, Deocuark a?Td Spain have naval stations upon islands off the coast cf Florida, so situated that from the c?rvatcre of our shores any of our Jwfpbit&Srtrd maritime- cities, from New Orleans to Portland, can be reached in four days by a hostile fleet. .If we ate to depend upon .avaavy for protection j we must have ships enough to assemble at every vulnerable point a force as large as could be dispatched against it. The .millions which we are squandering e? vessels tbat are sent oa idle errands ia **'squadrons of .evolution," painted pageants of ?b? deep, bad better be spent for earthworks and powerful guns to command every roadstead, channel and harbor from which a hostile fleet could ibreaten or assail. ere ' ?riynec?ssity for 'spending rutiliotis oever y year for naval defease or aay j-isttficat'roa for the hysterical ap? peals to popular apprehensions aad alarm? Our policy is pacific. We have no colonjes^nqr, dependencies, nor entangling alliances, ... Wars break out j unexpectedly, it is true, sometimes, but fr >m what quarter can danger be ration ally anticipated 'I Oar relations with Ff ilise ar:- those of traditional amity; ^EV^?c?many, of kindshrp and con ._a?gwrty-y with Russia,- of fraternity The rest are trival. Oar ouly enemy is England, and she is under bonds to kefp the peace. No other nation is so vulnerable and none so detested She has incurred the resentment of the human race by centuries of injustice. Col. 3^c^ang,-. j a noted Mississippi duelist, bad occasion to kick an un? resisting gentleman at a hotel io Natchez. Being not long after in Memphis, the colonel saw his victim ^abjecting another to the same treat? ment. Being somewhat curious, and I P uncertain as to the ideality cf the per- j son, he said: .'Are you not the fellow I kicked ? down stairs iu Natch? z ?* *'Y<s,,lr he replied-; ' but Colonel, you and I know who to kick." England kicked us when we were helpless and feeble. She sacked and burned a defenceless capital. S?e ba? kicked Ireland ; she has kicked E^ypt ; she has kicked the Hindoos, the Zulus, ?b? Boera and the Chinese, hut she is i^Mv Ah'ejiabit .of kicking^ her equals lier courage is prudent and cab u ating. She wa* careful not to kick Napoleon until the re>t of Europe joiued her, and she endured Russian aggression until she ba*eT persuaded France to^bear the bruot of the Crimean campaign. Daring our civil war fhe did all she could, short of open hostility, to de? stroy the union, aud theu apologized and paid damag- s. Lately we have had another coutentiou about seal poaching a<W Behring sea. Oceana ot ink have tn-eu shed in diplomatic cor? respondence letwceu L<?rd Swi.-bury and Secretary Blaine. Great B itain j j fortified Vancouver and sent ehips of J t w??ioto th? disputed waters, walking around, metaphorically speaking, beg? ging us to knock the chip from her shoulders, or tor tread on ?be tails of her coat. Legally she had au open case, at least in some respects, the best of the argument. The casus belli could easily have been found, if wanted, and we were assured that the danger wat imminent. The baldest held bis breath for a while. Itsmense appropriations were promptly voted for fortifications and the navy, and thea, while the national hair was^ standing on end. England soddenly carno into our Supreme Court as a suitor, and submitted the whnlc eoe? troversy to the decision of that great tribunal. " The newspapers ?hat des? cribed the dramatic utterances of sen? ators about the dangers of war with Grsat j?/it?n.;. cootaioed, in another column ~of%he same issue, an account of toe pr6?eedib"gs ?D the old senate cham? ber, in which Lord Salisbury submitted the claims of England to adjudication, aa a question of international law. lt was reassuring, but it was laughable nevertheless. Jonx J. IKGALLS We think Cleveland uiaue a mistake ; we think he is wrong , but we admire him for his courage and nerve. We recognize-the power and worth of the man. This is why the- people are so loath to give. hinoL up. Yea, it is why FO manv have not yet given Lim up, but still hope that some time in some way, some combination of circumstances may yet turn up that will put Cleveland and hts party in unison. While we regret that he has taken this step, yet we are mote than ever convinced of Cleveland's greatness.-Sanford Express. Barrels of Paper. After three years of experimental work an English eompany has suc? ceeded -in producing paper barrels, which are able to compete favorably with barrels made of vrood. The paper baayelsare used at present principally for the carriage ;^v?u$pow??r, nianing fases, fruit, .flowers, -molasses^ -paint, cement, matches, chemicals, 5yes, as-, bestes, sugar, size and . extract of -meat The materials used in making t&o bar? rels are waste paper, cardboard and (for fiie better quality) old sacks: When cardboard is used it is soaked or boiled for six hours, and afterward treated in the saine manner as the other raw material This is carefully sorted 'antr^?f^W"a"rag engine or beater, where it is beaten and torn to pieces by a series of knives for about an hour and a "half. It is afterward mixed with water until a pulp of uniform consist? ency is gained. This is rolled, joined, shaped and dried, and the barrel is final? ly covered with hoops. Before the tops and bottoms are put in the barrels are- painted with a water? proof composition, made of linseed oil and resin, for ordinary purpose barrels, and with a special varnish where they are used for food products. The stand? ard size made is 16$ inches in diameter by 28 inches long. The priest wMch these barrels can be . produced enables them to compete favorably with wooden barrels; a barrel<50sting thirty-four-cents in wood can, when made of paper, be sold for twenty-eight cents. One great feature is that there is no waste with the .process, all "wasters** being beaten up into pulp again.-New Orleans Pica? yune. A Unique Defense. In a case some years ago where sur? viving relatives claimed $5,000 for the loss of a man's life occasioned by the runaway horse of the defendant the fol? lowing defenses were put in: Pirst-^The horse was a. kind horse, and would not have run away had he not been fright? ened, so the party who frightened ttie horse waste- blame." Second-Even after the horse started some person diverted the horse from his course, without which the defendant would not have been knocked1 down, so the. party who thus diverted the horse was to blame. Pbird-The defendant had plenty of time to get out of the way and was himself to blame. Fourth-The de? fendant was a pauper, cot earning any noney, so his death was not a pecuniary less, but rather a benefit to his family, [n this case the jury gave the widow a rerdict of ?S00. This result was ob rained by putting down the amount each juror was willing to give and dividing it jy twelve.-Interview in New York Son, Kurses Marry Oftenest. Miss Mabel Goddard, who has been studying the relations between industry md matrimony fdr the past ten years, states in pamphlet form that the propor Jon of marriages is greatest-among trained lurses than any other class of women jvorkers. It may be gratitude that moves Aie hearts of men, and undoubtedly ad? oration and affection have something to lo with the result, bat whatever the main ;aose the fact remains that quiet, docile, intelligent and competent nnrses find ;hemserves at the head of homes and fami ies in a remarkably short time after grad lation. Like the Vassar girls, these laughters of mercy marry well.-San Fran? sisco Argonaut. Give tbe Small Children Water. Small children generally receive water >aiy as they get it in their milk or milk food, dike in summer and winter. It is prob tble that the f act sel?o m occurs to a mother arntaue that a child may "Be tfilrsty with >ut being hungry at the same time. Cer ainiy many a discomfort and even sick less in a child is conditioned upon tbe act that it has been compelled to eat in titler to get its thirst,satisiiei, and citen tas tp suffer, thirst because th?over*timu ated ?nd injured stomach will take no nore nourishment at ii regular and too hort intervals.-Herald of Health.
