An Englishman will soon be allowed to marry his deceased wife's sister. jßobbed of this great question the bouse of lords will be in danger of dropping into oblivion. The present war has brought to light the fact that Dr. Antommarchi. who attended Naipoleon during his last ill ness at St. Helena, is buried in Santia go de Cuba, where he gave his services free to the poor for many years. Exports of corn and corn meal last year went up to the unprecedented fig tire of $75,260,067, an increase of $20,- €OO,OOO over any preceding year. The corn exported exceeded in value more than a tiuru of the exports of wheat and flour. A New York paper remarks that judging from the description of the "uniforms" worn by the American and Spanish crews in the naval engage ment at Santiago, Anthony Comstoek will never consent to a reproduction of that battle on the stage. Probably the I.adrones will be the favorite American resort for nervous exhaustion. The Spanish governor of the islands had heard no news for three months, and thought the can non balls fired in his bay were some new kind of complimentary salute. "Our Navy Vindicated," is the cap tion of an editorial in an exchange. When has it been, from John Paul Jones to the present time, that the American navy needed l vindication? It needed modern ships for a quarter of a century, but it never lacked in the character of officers and men. Joseph M. a lawyer in Cleve land, ()., after ten yearsiof married*life divorced his wife and married her seamstress. Then he divorced the seamstress and remarried his first wife. In less than a year they were again divorced, and now Nowak has married the seamstress once more. One of the gratifying and unexpect ed developments of the war has been the friendly attitude of Japan. So far as the formal limitations of neutrality permit the Japanese government has on every occasion shown its good will for the United States, while the senti ment of the people themselves is un mistakably friendly. The girl students of a school iri >Pisv souii sent the following lines to some of the boy students among the troops at ( hiekamanga: Fare je well, intrepid heroes. Haste to war with its alarms; You'll return to find us sheroes, Waiting here with yawning arms; If the Spaniards do nrtt plug you In the sanguinary fight, Hasten baek and we will hug you, In wild spasms of delight. Admiral Dewey has once more shown that he is abundantly able to hold his own as against enemies in the Philip pines and' unfriendly influen'cesoutside of the islands. The German warship Irene prevented the Philippine insur gents from attacking .lie Spaniards on tirande island, whereupon Dewey sent two vessels to investigate, at which the Irene withdrew and the Spaniards, after receiving a few American shots, surrendered. On Sunday, May 1, Commodore Dewey attacked) and destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila bay. On Sun day, July 3. the squadron of Admiral Cervera was destroyed by the Ameri can llect in front of Santiago. On Sunday, July 17, the Spanish army at Santiago formally surrendered to'ien. Shafter, and the American flag was raised over th ■ first capital of Cuba. These three Sundays are red-letter days in American history. It will be remembered that when Cer vera reached Santiago with his famous fleet a banquet was given him, at which the archbishop of Santiago mad'e a speech, during the course of which he said: "it is not enough to win victory on the sea. The Spanish flaff must float from the capitol at Washington." It is evident from the way that archbishop has been begging Oen. Linares to surrender Santiago that he has changed liis mind about hanging the Spanish flag over our capitol. Statistics published by the treasury bureau show that the foreign trade of the United States for the year ended June 30 was the greatest in its his tory. The e:w>orts amounted to $1.2 31,311,868, an increase over those of the previous year of $180,318,312. The imports free and dutiable were sr, 16,052,844, less by $148,677,568 than those of the previous year. Of gold, in coin, bulflion and ore. there were ex ported $15,405,301 and imported $120,- 391,674. " THE WAR FUND LOAN. DcuiocrnlH Are Shou n tlovi to (taint* Money Without ItexortiiiK to S> ndlcatcN. The democrat ic press of the country shows plain signs of being disgruntled over the popular feature of the new war loan. This is not stiange. It is, in fact, a party matter. During the last democratic adminis tration a large block of government bonds was issued and the entire amount was allowed togo to a multi millionaire syndicate manipulated by President Cleveland's former law part ner in New York, Mr. Stetson. The people were not allowed any chance at those bonds, first hand, and the syndi cate made a profit of several millions. That record is made prominent by the contrast it presents to the present case. If President McKinley had followed in the footsteps of President Cleve land a perfect cyclone of indignation would have swept over the country. The democratic press would have found the English language all too feeble to express their wrath, and the republican press would have recog nized the justice of the indignation. Yet there was no more excuse for syn dicating the Cleveland than the .Mc- Kinley bonds. There was a popular demand for both. The republican press took the same position then in favor of giving the people a chance that it did in this latter instance. The same arguments, substantially, were used in both ca.?es. The democratic press was indifferent, and by ac quiescence shared with Cleveland re sponsibility for that syndicate. The popular feature was even a greater success than reported when the time for subscription closed. That date of closure was the 14th inst., and a Washington dispatch of the 18th states that since, tile 14th nearly 20,000 sub scriptions have been received. Some of them were delayed in the transmis sion and will be accepted; others were too late. Subscriptions to the amount of SSOO or less will absorb fully SIOO,- 000,000 of the bonds, or one-half of the whole. The other half will nearly, if not quite, be absorbed by subscrip tions under $5,000 in amount. The en tire loan is thus distributed to indi vidual subscribers in small lots. As a matter of course some of these subscribers acted as agents, no doubt, for others who furnished the money, but such eases form at most only an insignificant percentage of the grand aggregate. Some of these bonds were subscribed as a permanent 1< an or investment and some with a view to making a profit on them. The government sold the bonds at par. They will probably command a premium. This profit will be small at best in any given case, and will be widely distributed. It will be made, if at all. not out of the government, but out of the second-hand purchasers— namely, the banks and other moneyed corporations which want larpe blocks of bonds and can get them only by go ing into the open market. The Cleve land-Stetson syndicate made its mil lions of profits by second-hand sales. The aggregate profit of the new bond holders may be even greater than that harvested by the syndicate, but it will be distributed among the people. Everybody had an equal chance, so far as the government was concerned, to subscribe,and thus share in the profits. It is snfe to say that no future ad ministration will dare fro back to the syndicate policy in placing bonds. The republican party can add one more trophy to its long list of great achieve ments. A republican congress ttnd a republican adm'nistration between them succeeded in what no other nation on earth has ever done. All other governments, great and small, have placed their loans through great banking houses. Great Britain has the Hank of England, France the Ttank of France. Spain the Bank of Spain, and so on all alon£f the line. Behind and nbove all these, including even the Batik of England, is the great house of Bothscliild. which made millions out of the Cleveland administration. Fdr many years now these p-reat moneyed corporations have exacted 101l from their governments and from minor states, quite ar a matter of course. At last the United States has shown the nations a more excellent way to financier their bans. They have given the civilized world what onplit to be. in government finances, an epoch making object lesson in the highest brnnch of political economy.—Chicago f nter Ocean. Two of (i Kind. Bryan's only New York organ de clares (hat the popocratic party "is clogged, shackled, hobbled by a hope less load-—Bailey." This attack is in spired by Bailey's antagonism to the annexation policy which the vast ma jority of the people favor. Bailey cer tainly would be a "hopeless load 1 " for a stronger party than the democracy, if such a party had him. lie favors every policy that is bad and opposes every policy that is good. But Bryan is in the same camp with Bailey on the anti-annexation foolishness, as he was on the silver fraud. Bryan and Bailey are two of a kind. Whoever condemns the smaller featherhead necessarily condemns the larger also. The new Rryanism—to give back to Spain all the territory which we wrest from her at a loss of many lives and of hundreds of millions of dollars in money—is just as vicious as the old Bryanism was, but as it will never command as many sup porters it will not be so dangerous St. Louis Globe-Democrat. is sometimes talk of silver republicans, but when they get down to a ballot ii> a convention as in a fusion convention in Oklahoma the vote stands: Democratic. 153 populist. 151; scattering. 7.

A Magnificent of Ameri can (It I Zfiixli 11> h■■len«] i«l Showing, Helped Out 1» j (IK* Patriotism of the People. In this war the victories of the treasury department have not been less significant than those won on the sea and land. In fact, they are just as essential and just as brilliant, though of course they are not theatrical nor melodramatic, liy reason of this they might escape attention were it not the part of a newspaper to be just in praise ami quick to give credit where credit is due. I'p to this tkne almost $100,000,000 in cash has been paid out on account of the war. This is not to be looked upon as the cost of the war, for it is diffi cult to draw the line between ordinary and extraordinary expenses. liut the expenses over the same time last year have increased about $75,000,000. So it is fair to infer this represents the cost of the war thus far. Two-thirds of this is chargeable to the war depart ment and one-third to the naval de partment. Hut there are other expenses, which do not show in the cash expenditures, in the way of large sums due on con tracts not yet complete. This would swell the total materially over the million a day that has gone out thus far. As large as this sum seems, it will be much larger when the whole army is in the field, as the expenses there are much greater than while in camp. But this outgo, enormous as it is, has been easily met, and there will be no pinch for months to come. Within a few days the $200,000,000 loaned by the people will begin to pour in. In addi tion, the increased receipts from in ternal revenue will be felt almost im mediately. and this will be no mean sum. It may reach $15,000,000 a month, though this estimate seems too libera!. In any event the treasury is well forti fied for a few months at least. It is thus seen how brilliant is the victory of the treasury department, a victory worth celebrating, for on its work all the rest depend. A big fat purse is just :ts strong in war as a great big navy, even when manned by Americans. —Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. CURRENT COMMENT.

C7"rhe last bill signed by President McKinley before the adjournment of congress was the one directing the secretary of the treasury to reimburse the states for expenses incurred in or ganizin" and equipping the volunteer troops.

He Was a Keen Hoy and Wan Equal to tlie Occasion \\ lieu luogbl at Mlachief. The farmer crept stealthily along behind the fence. Step by step he advanced, always with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree, in the distance. "Uol durn them town boys, anyway," he muttered to himself, as he took a firmer grip upon th' 3 ugiy-looking switch that he had cut from the hickory back of the barn, "I'll show 'em!" Nearer and nenrer he drew to the spot where the engagement was to occur. Softly, like a tiger advancing upon its prey, he edged along through the weeds, from one fence corner to another. Meanwhile the boy in the tree kept crook ing his elbow at a 32 knot clip. The cherries were large and fat and red, and he had a wonderful tonnage. Ever and anon he would smack his lips, and eject a handful of stones from his mouth. It was glorious. Suddenly a rugged form seemed to rise op out of the ground, and somebody bawled ic tones that were husky with emotion: "Here, drat your hide, what are you aoin' up there?" It was one of those moments when a word may win all or cause all to be lost. The boy dropped the biggest, reddest, juiciest cherry that he had been able to reach, pulled himself together, drew his bare, bro\vn legs up under him, and replied: "I'm rememberin' the Maine. When he could speak again the farmer said: "If they ain't enough here feryou, there's another nice tree full of 'em, up yonder in the orchard."—Cleveland Leader. War to the Death, The slaughter was frightful. The dead and dying were strewn about by thousands. The crash of matter and the wreck of ma terial bore testimony to the awful work that had been done! But the end was not yet, for Mrs O'Hooli han, with her insect destroyer in hand, con tinued to pass to and fro among the detached pieces of furniture, slaying without mercy and spraving with a fierceness that betrayed long suffering and a grim determination to end' it, even if the cost should mount up to a quarter.—Cleveland Leader.
