{Special Washington Letter.]
It i? amazing with what rapidity this
Philippine war has changed the opin?
ions of Republican statesmen. Until
this year nobody of any reputation
ever openly advocated the theory that
we should keep up a military and na?
val establishment of vast proportions.
Kow it is asserted by Republican lead?
ers, both iii congress and upon the
stomp, that we should have a navy
equal to the largest in the world, which
means equal to England's. That would
take $3JO,000,000 in cash to build bat?
tleships of "he first class, to say noth?
ing of torpedo boats, armored cruisers,
protected cruisers, monitors, commerce
destroyers md other smaller craft, for
England has C2 more battleships, and
one of that class costs at least $5.000,
O00. To make a navy really equal to
England's would probably cost $1,000.
000,000. I believe as firmly as do thc
Bepublicans in the wisdom of Sancho
Panza's dictum that "in peace is the
time to prepare for war." Consequent?
ly I am in favor of a navy adequate to
all of our wants, but I am teetotally
opposed to any such monstrous folly
and preposterous extravagance as to
undertake to rival England in the size
and strength of our naval equipment,
for we have no use for it. man does
not have to be an idiot in order to be
a patriot.
Immense Standing Army.
It is now vigorously contended both
in and out of congress and for the first
time that we should have a standing
ii army as large in proportion to our pop?
ulation as any other nation on earth
has, and men who have never given one
moment's consideration to what this
proposition means throw high their
sweaty caps in air and yell for it as
though it meant a great blessing for
the republic. TV'hat does this proposi?
tion mean ? France, with a population
of 33,000,000. has a standing army of
700,000 men; Italy, with about the
same population, has about the same
sized army. Germany, with a popula?
tion of ovex 40.000.000, has an army of
over S00.00O men. and so on to the
end of the chapter. The truth is that
every nation of Europe is groaning un
v.?r the great load of tax to keep up
its standing army. To such an ex?
tent has this been carried that it is
?aid in Europe that every laborer car?
ries a soldier upon his back, and while
the census figures have not all been
published for this year's census the
general estimate is that we have a pop- J
Illation of about 70,000,000, not count- !
^ing Porto Rico and the Philippines, j
On the theory that we should have an
army equal in proportion to the stand?
ing annies of other countries we would
Lave an army of about 1.S00.000 men.
for which we have no earthly use and
which would cost an annual sum at
the thought of which the overburden?
ed taxpayers must shudder.
When the bill to reorganize the ar?
my was before the bouse, I catechised
my Republican friend. Colonel H. F.
Marsh of the Quincy district, who was
a brave Union soldier and who is a
leading member of the committee on
military affairs, as to the cost of main?
taining a soldier in the regular army.
His reply to my inquiry was that the
average cost of maintaining a regular
soldier while doini service in the Unit?
ed States is about $1.00" per year. On
the bas s of 1.SOO.WO regulars, at $1.
000 apiece, the cost of the standing ar?
my would be $1.800.000.000 per year,
and there isn't a mari living who can
give any valid reason or plausible ex?
cuse for- withdrawing 1.800.000 young
men from the ranks of the producers
and loading them upon the people's
backs at a cost which the mathematic?
al powers of the human mind are inad?
equate to comprehend. The only way
to prevent this stupendous folly is to
elect Bryan and a Democratic con?
gress, for there is no earthly sense in
electing a Democratic president with?
out a Democratic congress to aid him
In his patriotic endeavors for the pub?
lic weal. I repeat it that we have no
use for such a standing anny or any?
thing approximating it.
Strensrth of the Republic.
We have never depended on the regu?
lar army or a great navy for our de?
fense: ve have never waged a war in
which the volunteers did not do the
major part of th" fighting, and th?
United States never did carry on a
war wit tout success. The rc-:;! strength
of the republic lies in the patriotism
and valor < :' the volunteers, men who
are n<>t professional soldiers, i.ur who.
When !; country is in danger, quit ?h<'
civil walks of life, shoulder their mus?
kets, fight till the country is victorious
and then cheerfully lay down their
arms ard return to their business.
Volunteers fought the war of the
Revolution, they fought the war of
2S12, they fought the Mexican war.
they foug?t the Indian wars and they
did the principal part of the fighting on
both sides in our titanic civil war.
, Thc most splendid anny that thc
ever looked down upon was the
bined forces of the Union and Co:
orate sidos at the close <>f the
j war. and the most amazing spec
j ever seen among men was that
j million and a hail* veteran so?<
stacking their anns, dolling their
j forms and returning without a
j mur to tlie peaceable vocation
; American citizenship. The volui
j sol.lier is not only the safety, birt '
j the glory, of tte republic.
From the close of the civil wa
1SG5 Gown ro the beginning of
Spanish war our standing anny h
strength on paper of 25.000 mer.. .
matter of fact, it usually aver;
20.000 officers and men. and we
along splendidly during all that t
and if the possession of the Ph
pines necessitates such .a navy
such a standing army as above i
ca ted ??hat alone is sufficient to der
strate that it is the greatest curse
ever befell a free people. But. in
judgment, this vast military establ
ment is not desired or intended
service abroad, but to be located in
large cities, to carry the election
congressmen and for the legislati
that elect congressmen of the Un
States. Surely the American vo
are not ready to substitute a govi
ment by the bayonet for a governn
by the ballot. The most aniaz
thing about this proposition is i
any foreign born citizen of the Un:
States can be induced to vote for
party that advocates it, for it is saf<
state that 50 per cent of all the
eign born male citizens of the Uni
States now here who were adults w
they came to America came here
escape military service themselves i
to save their boys from being c
scripted into the standing armies
Europe. It surely cannot be that ti
will help establish here the bad ?
tem from which they fled when tl
left Europe.
Philippine Mattem.
Notwithstanding the vast amount
writing and talking that has been d<
about the Philippine question th
are certain features of it to which s
ficient attention has not been given.
Among other evil effects of the Pl
ippine business is the building up o
huge pension roll which my grande]
dren will not live long enough to i
paid off, and my oldest child is only
years of age. If any old Union soldi'
read this. I wish to call their spec
attention to this fact and to put ii
their ears a flea of large proportio:
for they have a direct interest in 1
matter.
When God created the world,
could have made it exactly the sai
climate from pole to pole as easily
the way he did make it. but for soi
wise purpose he made the arctic ZOH
so cold that nobody can live there;
made the temperate zones and wh
people to live in them: he made t
torrid zone a-straddle of the equab
where there is eternal summer, a:
he made negroes. Malays and ot
er colored persons to live in lt. V
can't live there: it is contrary to E
ture. If we had discovered the Phill
pine Islands and there hadn't been
native on them and we hadn't bei
compelled to fight to get possession
them, we could not populate them wi
people of our own race. For 300 yea
the Hollanders have had possession
the island of Java with a climate t
most exactly the same as that of tl
Philippines. Six different times h.T
they tried to colonize it with whi
persons, and six times have they si
nally and completely failed. Poop
of our breed can't live in the Phill
pines. To try it is to fight against fat

they live; that fact should cause tl
veterans of the civil war to keep the
optics pealed, for there is just so m nc
money and no more that can be dcvo
ed to pensions. A great many Unio
soldiers are still without pensions an
want them: many who have pension
desire them Increased. If a large pei
sion "roll is built up by reason of thi
endless Philippine war, the old Unio
soldiers will be cut short on their pei
sions just as certainly as water run
down hill, for it is a mathematics

a curse to us instead of a blessing even

Senator Chandler In Trouble.
The New Hampshire state railroad
trust has declared war on Senator
Chandler. Republican, ard has joined
hands with Senator Gallinger to pre?
vent Chandler's re-election. It is per?
tinent here to recall the fact that these
two senators had a bitter quarrel a
few months ago in which the feathers
flew to some extent.
William E. Chandler was selected by
President Lincoln 35 years ago to probe
and prosecute in the case of the Phila?
delphia navy yard frauds. He is one
of the few remaining relics of the Lin?
coln style of Republicanism and is now
doomed to defeat by the Hanna-Gal
linger railroad trust gang of political
buzzards, all because Chandler is the
kind of bimetallist that the Repub?
lican party declared itself to be in its
1S06 platform and because he opposes
trusts.
Chandler was a leading Republican,
the friend of Lincoln, when Hanna
was making his pile by hook or crook,
when Roosevelt was in school, and
has for years, like Schurz and John B.
Henderson, stood as one of the few re?
main ins: representatives of what Re?
publicanism was in its best estate, be?
fore Mark Uanna and his evil days
came. Schurz and Henderson have
turned their backs on Hanna and his
flock of cormorants-they have walked
? out and closed the door forever. Chan?
dler has seen the fall of all that was
I good in the party of Lincoln, "like
J leaves in wintry weather." Will he
remain in the Republican party as now j
constituted? It does seem to me that
he will be mighty lonesome there.
Still They Conze.
j Mr. Bryan has been touring Indiana,
speaking as only he can speak, endur?
ing a" physical strain that would kill
F?tzsimmons or Corbett and making
! friends and votes by the thousand,
j Gus Thomas, the playwright-the man
who wrote 'in Mizzoura"-has been
I with him and says the plain people
j throng to the car steps merely to touch
I his garments, as the Judrcans flocked
I in the footsteps of the Nazarene. j
! In one day Bryan visited nine coun- I
ties around Indianapolis and made 12 j
speeches of considerable duration. At
Richmond ex-Congressman Henry rj. i
! Johnson, who. with Thomas B. Reed, j
j constituted the brainiest pair of Re- j
! publicans ir: congress since Blaine i
! died, presided at the meeting. It will i
be remembered that Johnson refused
renomination at the hands of the Re
1 publicans and declared for Bryan. And
still they come through the woods!
Elizabethan Seamen.
The Elizabethan seaman seems to
have been a rather serious minded
man. There is little of the happy go
lucky Saturday night sailor about the
men of Hawkins or Drake. Their offi
? cers gave them a very indifferent char?
acter. They were a "loose rabble;"
"vagrant, lewd, disorderly;" "a regi?
ment of common rogues." Raleigh
said that '.they go with as great a
grudging to serve in his majesty's ships
as if it were to be slaves in the gal?
leys." Perhaps this description was
only meant to apply to the sailors of
James I, of whom it was written.
If we are to judge from the records
of the voyages of Hawkins. Drake or
the Earl of Cumberland, the tide of
Puritanism was already rising among
them. They accepted the wonders of
the new world with the unquestioning
faith of children, and most of its un?
pleasant surprises were attributed to
direct satanic agency. Prayerfully and
powerfully they fought the Spaniard,
who was antichrist, and prayerfully
and frugally they inaugurated the
slave trade, which filled their pockets.
When Hawkins, with a hold full of ne?
groes, encountered bad weather and
the carpi sickened and died, he con?
soled himself with the pious reflection
that "the Lord would not suffer his
elect to perish." Thc negroes, not be?
ing of the elect, perished freely.- Nine- j

Lo-uk Before Von Leap.
Once upon a time there was a young
man who believed what the books said.
He left the farm and came to the
great city to make his fortune and to
climb the ladder of fame. The books
said a great deal about the ladder of
fame, so the young man exercised him?
self on copybook morals and poor Rich?
ard's almanac in order to be able to
chin hini?2lj! up a round at a time.
He was especially strong on run?
away horses, and one day, to Iiis grati?
fication, he saw a mad steed plunging
down the crowded street. He could
not see any fainting maiden attached,
but still he knew this was his oppor?
tunity. He sprang for the bridle, but
hit the front wheel instead and was
projected with violence into the gut?
ter. Six months later, when. lie came
out of the hospital, he was sent to the
Home For the Feebleminded for try?
ing to stop a fire marshal in the per?
formance of his duty.

The Approach, cf Itlotherlioocl is the
Occasion of Einen Anxiety to Ali.
Ev<?ry woman dreads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom?
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
i which is in store fer lier is a source of
; constant anriet j. fear and dread, to
' say nothing of the danger which the
j coming incident entails. The joyous
i anticipations Arith which she looks for
: ward to baby's coming gives way to an
j indescribable dreadcf the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critica] and trying
event which will soon approach and
: have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
: remedy which insures to them im
I munity from the pain, suffering and
; danger incidental to child-bearing.
1 Such a remedy is now offered, and
j women need not fear longer the hour of
j childbirth. "Mother's Friend"-is a
j scientific liniment-and if used before
