Until thte yeor nobody of any reputation error openly advocated tbe theory that wo at ouId keep up a military and na TOl ee'abllshment of vast proportion*. How It Is eseerted by Republican lead ova, both li congress and upon the Map, that we should have a navy 1 to the largest in tbe world, which equal to England's. That would I310.0U0.000 lo cash to bulk) bat fJeohtp* of tbo first class, to say noth? ing of torpedo boats, armored cruisers, prapscted cruisers, monitors, commerce eJestroye rs tud other smaller craft, for Bsslainl has 02 moro battleahlpa, and on* of that claaa coats at least $3.000. 000. To make a navy really equal to Bagland's would probably cost $1.000, 000,000. I believe as firmly as do tin Bepubtlcans In the wisdom of Sancbo 's dictum that "In peace Is tbo to prepare for war." Consequent? ly 1 am In favor of a na>y adequate to all of oor wants, but 1 tm teototu ly opposed to any auch monstrous folly* and preposterous extravagance as to undertake to rival Eng'a ml in the size rstrength of our naval equipment, wo hav* no use for It. A man d< ?*s not ha\?? to be an Idiot in order to be ? patriot lananeneo Standina* Army. *t Is now vigorously contended both Id and out of congress and for the first tune that wo should have a standlog army aa large la proportion to our pop ulatJoQ aa any other nation on earth boa. and men who have never given one moment'* consideration to what thii proposition means throw high their sweaty caps lo air and yell for It as though it meant a great blessing tor the republic. What does this proposi? tion mean? Prance, with a population of 33.0C0.000. has a standing army of 700.000 men; Italy, with about the same population, has about the same stsed army, ?b-rmany. with a popula? tion of ovo* 40.000.000. bos an army of over S0O.0OO men. and so on to tbe end of the chapter. Tbe truth Is that every nation of Europe Is groaning un ***# the great load of tax to keep up Its standing army. To such an ex? tent has this been carried that it is amid In Europe that every laborer car ties a soldier upon his back, and Wb lo tbe census tigures bsve not all tievn published for this years census the general estimate |a that we have a pep Bjatlon of about 70,000,000, uot count * lag Porto Rico and the Philippine. On the theory that we should have an army equal in proportion to the stand? ing armies of other countries we would nave an army of snout 1.800.000 men. for which we have no earthly use a id which would cost an animal sum at the thought of which the overburden ed taxpayers must shudder. When tbe bill to reorganize tbe ar? my was before the bouse. 1 catechised my Republican friend. Colonel It. 1\ Marsh of the (Jubicy district, who was a brave Colon soldier and who Is s leading member of tbe committee on military affairs, as to the cost of ma n tain lug a soldier In the regular army. His reply to my Inquiry was that the average cost of maintaining a regular soldier whin* doing scrvtcv in the Unit? ed ?tutes Is about $UK*) per year. On the baals of 1.800.000 regulars, at $1. 000 ui','?<?' the cost of the standing ar? my would be $1..soo.ObtMNK) per ycur. aod there Isn't a man living who cun give any valid reason or plausible ex? cuse for withdrawing l.son.uoo young men from the ruuks of tbe producers snd loading them upon the p.-opl backs st a cost which the mathematic? al powers of the human mind are liuul equate to comprehend. The onlj way to prevent this stupendous folly Is to elect Hryan and a Democratic con? gress, for there la no earthly sense in electing s Democratic president with? out s Democratic congress to aid htm In his patriotic endeavors for the pub lie weal. I repent It that we have no use tor such a standing army or any? thing approximating It. Strrnarth of the RepoTftlle. We hav ne\or depended on the rcjm lar army or a great * navy f? r our de? fense, we have never waged tt war In which the volunteers did not do the ms*or part of the fighting, and tbe United State* ne\er did < ai ry on a war v Itliotit eucerss. The real strength of t'o republic lies in the patriotism ami \ril ?r of the volunteers, men who pre not professional soldiers. |,ut who. when tbe country is In danger, quit lb* civil walks of life, shoulder their mus ksta. flglit m the CfjSJSJtrj is victorious and Hspi I host f?llj Kay down their arms ami return to their business. Vol inteers foiigi.c the war of the Revol tlon. they fought the war of 1812, ibey fought the Mexican war. they fought the Indian wars and *uoy did tbe principal part of (he fight ng on oar titanic ylv,-l ^'ftfr The most iptsndld army that the sun ever looked down upon was the com Mned forces of Iba Union tod Confcd? era t e sides at Ulf close of the civil wo?, and too most omening spectacle Ofot soon among men was that of a million ami a half veteran aoldlen stacking their arms, dolling their uni? forms end returning without ? mur? mur to the peaceable vocations of American citizenship. The volunteer soldier la not only Iba safety, but he Is Iba glory, of Iba republic. From Iba close of Iba * * i v 11 war in 1809 ?Iowa to tba beginning of the Spanish war our standing army had a strength on paper of 23,000 men. As a mottet of fact, it usually averaged L\'I.?HX> otliccrs uml men, and we got along splendidly during all that time, and If the possession of the Philip? pines necessitates such ,n navy and such a standing army as above indi? cated that alone Is sufficient to demon? strate that it is the greatest curse that ever befell n free people. But, In my judgment, this vast military establish? ment Is not desired or Intended for service abroad, bnt to be located In the large cities, to carry the election for congressmen and for the legislatures that elect congressmen of the United States. Surely the American voters are not ready to substitute a govern? ment by the bayonet for a government by the ballot. The most amazing thing about this proposition is that any foreign born citizen of the United States can be Induced to vote for the party that advocates it, for It is safe to state that 50 per cent of all the for? eign born male citizens of the United States now here who were adults when they came to America came here to escape military service themselves and te save their boys from being con? scripted into the standing armies of Europe. It surely cannot be that they will help establish here the bad sys? tem from which they fled when they left Europe. Philippine Matters. Notwithstanding the vast amount of writing and talking that has been done about the Philippine question there arc certain features of it to which suf? ficient attention has not been given. Among other evil effects of the Phil? ippic business Is the building up of a huge pension roll which my grandchil? dren will not live long enough to see paid off, and my oldest child is only 10 years of nge. If any old Union soldiers read this, 1 wish lv call their special attention to this fnev and to put into their ears a flea of 'arge [importions, for they have a direct Interest in the matter. When (?od created the world, he could have made it exactly the same climate from pole to pole as easily as the way he did make it, but for some wise purpose h# made the arctic zones so cold that nohody can live there; he mode the teraporntc zones and white people to live In them; he made the torrid zone a straddle of the equator, where there Is eternal summer, aud he made negroes. Malays and oth? er co ored persons to live In it. Wo can't ve there; It is contrary to na? ture. If we had discovered the Philip? pine Islands and thrive hadn't been a native on them and wo hadn't been compelled to fight to get possession of them, we could not populate them with people of our own race. Tor 300 years the Hollanders have had possession of the Island of .Tava. with a climate al most exactly the same as that of the I Philippines. Six different times ha?<? they tried to colonize it with whlta persons, and six times have t'vy sig? nally and completely foiled People of our breed can't live in the Philip? pines. To try It is to fight against fate. Those who do not die there will be ' fit subjects for pensions as long as they live; that fact should cause the veterans of the civil war to keep their optics pealed, for there Is Just so much money and no more that can 1k? devot? ed to pensions. A great many Union soldiers are still without pensions and want them; many who have pensions desire them Increased. If a large pen? sion roll is built up by reason of this endless Philippine war, the old Union soldiers will be cut short on their pen? sions Just as certainly as water runs down hill, for It Is a mathematical truth that when a pie is cut luto six pieces the pieces are not as large as when It Is cut Into four. Hard Work to Get Penalona. 1 am fully aware that the statement that my grandchildren will not live to see tlrcse pensious paid off seems pre? posterous. Eight years ago 1 would not have made It, but in that length of time I have learned something. When I first went to Washington as. a con? gressional greenhorn and tenderfoot, they did with me what they did with all tondrrfeot and greenhorns?that Is, shoved me of! to poor and obscure committees where them was a great deal of hard work and scant glory. Now I rank second among the Demo? crats on the great foreign affairs com I mlttee. which Senator Henry Clay Heather facetiously denominates the swagger committee of the house, but It took me eight years to get up there. A congressman has to l>egin at the foot of the class and spell tip. Therein lies the wisdom of retaining a faithful and capable representative in congress. In my llrst service In congress I was as? signed to the o?d penatoos committee, which had Jurisdiction OTOf all pen? sions back of the civil war; lhat com? mittee had Jurisdiction over pensions growing out of the Revolutionary war. Iba war of hi.', the Mexican war and the Indian wars. I never had studied much about the matter, hol I supposed :iii the llcvolm tionary soldiers and their widows had died anil gone to glory I ?tig ago. That proved to be ? great mistake, for In 1803, IHM and IHM thai committee put in ? largo pjnt of Us time conaldertng pension hills for widows of the Revo? lutionary wor, which closed in 1788. Only two or three wet ki ago 1 saw In the newspapers where one of those ?Widows whom i helped to pension In tggg had Just died. That ?'t?te of af? fairs was a greet ntgeterj to me at it o first. And I determined to fathom it how tboee widows bad come down to us from tbo past century?and i ?uc eeeded In the Invcatlgatlou, Tbo way it cornea about is this: a. loldler of tbo Philippine WOr, now IS years old, lives to be 00 an?l becomca a widower. Ho marries him a wife 13 years old, and she Urea to be 00. She will be draw? ing a pension 147 years from now! And she will be drawing a pension after we and our children and our grandchildren are gathered to our fathers! Of course this Is an extreme case, but that a great many of them approximated this Condition is the only w;?y to account for those Revolutionary widows who are still living. As i matter of fact, if a Revolution* ary soldier was IS years old in ITS.*!, the last year of the war, and lived to be To. then married a girl IS years old who lived to be 73, she would still be drawing a pension up to the present dny. I do not believe that either the veterans of the civil war or the tax? payers are in favor of fastening on the backs of three generations of our de? scendants a Isrge pension debt grow? ing out of n war whose results will be a curse to us Instead of a blessing even If we succeed In it. Senator Chandler In Trouble. The New Hampshire state railroad trust has declared war on Senator Chandler. Republican, and has joined hands with Seuator 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 33 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 Hannn-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 1896 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 fO school, and has for years, like Schurz and .lohn B. Henderson, stood as one of the few re? maining representatives of what Re? publicanism was in its best estate, be? fore Mark Hanna and his evil days came. Schur/, and Henderson have turned their backs on Hanna und his flock of cormorants?they have walked out and closed the door forever. Chan? dler has seen the fall of all that was good in the party of Lincoln, "like leaves in wintry weather." Will he remain in the Republican party as now constituted'/ It does seem to me that be will be ntlgtltj lonesome there. St til They Come. Mr. Bryan has been touting Indiana, ?peaking as only be can speak, endur? ing ?' physical strain that would kill Fltzsimtnotis or Corbett and making friends and votes by the thousand. Gus Thomas, the playwrlght-the man who wrote "In Mizzoura"?has been with him and says the plain people throng to the car steps merely to touch his garments, as the Judfeons flocked In the footsteps of the Nazarene. In one day Bryan visited nine coun? ties around Indianapolis and made 12 speeches of considerable duration. At Richmond ex-Congressman Henry U. Johnson, who. with Thomas B. Reed, constituted the brainiest pair of Re publ cans in congress since Blaine died, presided at the meeting. It will be remembered that Jobnoon refused renomlnation at the hands of the Re > publicans and declared for Bryan. And still they come through the woods! Rllsabetban 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 nion 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 nine . them. They accepted the wonders ol 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 tilled their pockets. When Hawkins, with a hold full of ne? groes, encountered bad weather and the cargo sickened and died, he con soled himself with the pious reflection that ?'the Lord would not suffer his elect to perish."

Once upon a time there was a young man who believed what the books said. He loft the farm and came to the great city to make his fortune and to climb the ladder of lame. 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 himself up a round at a time. He was especially strong on run? away horses, and one day, to His 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, he 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, of Ulotherhood ia the Occasion of Much Anxiety to All. Every woman dreads the ordeal through which she must pass in becom? ing a mother. The pain and suffering which Is In store for her is a source of constant anxiety, fear and dread, to say nothing of the danger which the coming incident entails. The joyous anticipations with which she looks for? ward to baby's coming gives way to an indescribable dread of the ordeal when she fully realizes the critical and trying event which will soon approach and ; have to be endured. Women should hail with delight a remedy which insures to them im? munity from the pain, suffering and danger incidental to child-bearing. Such a remedy is now offered. and women need not fear longer the hour of childbirth. "Mother's Friend"?is a scientific liniment?and if used before confinement, gently and surely prepares the Ixxiy for the great requirements and changes it is undergoing, insures safety to both mother and child, and takes her through the event with com Sarative ease and comfort. This won erful remedy is praised by every woman who has used it. What woman is not interested in "Mother's Friend?" This wonderful remedy has been tested and its price? less value proven by the experience of thousands of happy mothers who have used it during the most critical period of woman's life?the approach and culmination of motherhood. It has won their everlasting praise, for it gave them help and hope in their most trying hour and when most needed. Every woman may some day need "Mother's Friend." The little book, ?'Before Baby is Bom," telling all about it. and when it should be used, will prove ot great interest and benefit *p all expectant mothers, and will be sent free to any address upon application to the Bradneld Regulator Company, Atlanta, Ga.
