' Every war, even a victorious war,
is a national calamity." So writes the
Count Von Moltke, Germany's most
successful warrior. And he might
hav< added. T>» lie ciinstantly preparing
for war is a national calamity hut little
inferior to actual warfare. Last year
Europe expended for military and
naval purposes something near SBOO,-
000,000, and did no fighting. This
great burden was home chiefly by
eight powers, as follows : Russia, £1 73.-
740,000; (ireat Britain, $153,510,000 ;
France, $128,520,000; Germany. slOl,-
fi26,000; Austro-Hungary, $53,074,-
000; Italy, $41,030,000; Spain, $28,-
560,000; Turkey, $23,800,000.
This profitless squandering of money
—which the overtaxed producers have
to furnish—is unfortunately not the
whole of the Mood tax upon Europe
in times of peace. The national debts
of Europe, due almost entirely to past
wars and preparations for future con
flicts, amount to more than twenty
billions dollars, the interest of which
the producers have to meet. About
eighteen billions of debt stand against
the eight powers above named.
This is the tax paid in money. That
which comes from withdrawing able
bodied men from productive labor is
an item of scarcely lens magnitude, for
the standing armies of Europe foot up
something over eight millions. In a
late report by the Hungarian ministry,
designed to show the relative weak
ness of the Austro-Hungarian forces,
the armies of the five chief States of
Europe were enumerated as follows:
The military strength of Russia con
sists of 3,046,800 men, of whom 600,-
000 belong to the reserve and 2.416,-
800 to the standing arinv. The reg
ular army of France compri.-es i,<!.>!!,-
000 soldiers of all arms, the territorial
army, 1,208,000. total, 2,289,000; to
be increased in 1892 by the addition of
300,000 reserve men to 2,723,000. The
German power of all classes is repre
sented by 2,004,M00 men, of whom 1,-
076,200 belong to the standing army,
307,200 »n the landwehr, and 620,900
to the reserve. Italy has an army of
(198,(100 and a militia of 310,000. In
1892, when the reserve will number
1,016,200, her total strength will reach
2,021,200. Austro-lliingarv possesses
a standing army of 800,000, a land
wehr of 299,318, and a reserve of 95,-
000 men; total, 1,194,378 The grand
total of all these forces amount to 16,-
471,918, the standing ar '••s alone
numbering 7,925,000. To these figures
there should be added for the armies of
Great Britain, Spain and Turkey, about
700,000 regular soldiers and twice as
many reserves. Allowing that half of
the men nominally in the European
armies are at home on furlough, and
able to take part in productive labor,
there cannot lie less than 4,000,000
men in the prime of life permanently
withdrawn from productive industry
in the great Slates named. Counting
the labor of these men as worth no
more than a hundred dollars a year,
the burden of their idleness can bo
measured only by hundreds of millions
of dollars annually. Adding the value
of the time lost by the millions of re
serves in drilling, and the losses inci
dent to the spoiling of men for peaceful
industry by enforced soldering during
the years of early manhood, a rough
idea can be formed of the aggregate
burden which governmental ambition
and mutual fear combino to lay upon
the shoulders of Europe's working
population.
Not the least disheartening feature
of this state of things is its tendency
♦o grow steadily worse. As a leading
English journal pertinently remarks,
it is the special aggravation of this
wu&te of human energies that it is in*
terminable, that it oettleo uuift ing finally,
j tliVe tui> t fifutorf/iAA&v Irt wir &
peace, bat a condition to further prepa
ration. in which victory anil defeat
alike are used as arguments for further
preparations. Germauy is victor, and
becomes a camp ; Franee is vanquished,
.m l becomes a parade ground. Ger
many is united and must therefore be
drilled ; Italy is united and must there
fore bo drilled ; the Balkan peninsula
|is disunited and must therefore be
; drilled. Whatever the circumstances
or the sacrifices or the hopes there
must bo more and ever more men
drilled, more expenditures on prepara
tion- Tar war. more devotion by rulers
to military work, more surrender of
citizens to disciplinary training.
To this frightful extent Europe if?
handicapped in the race for industrial
supremacy It is the penalty which
the people have to pay far the acci
dents of their geographical position,
the forms of government they have
inherited, and their worse inheritance
of military history, national hatreds,
and political entanglements. At the
same time the ability of the European
workers to meet these heavy obliga
tions is being steadily lessened, not
only by the drafting of the best brawn
and bone into the armies, but by the
voluntary expatriation every year of
thousands of their more energetic sons
and daughters.
The United • States comprise about
the same area as the great States of
Europe combined, and already have
nearly one-lift h as many inhabitants.
In all probability children now born
may live to see United America equal
in population to all Europe. From
our continental position any great ag
gressive war in America by American
men is altogether impossible, and the
prospect of great civil wars is, we are
happy to believe, not less remote. Our
strength is rapidly becoming so great
—if it is not already so—that no for
eign nations are likely to assail us:
and the aversion of our jieople to for
eign entanglements is likely to keep us
from offensive foreign wars.
The natural advantages of America
for diversified and prosperous indus
fies are certainly less than those en
joyed by Europe; and our people are
quite as capable as those of Europe of
making the most of their industrial oj>-
portunities. The problem of industrial
supremacy is, therefore, not hard to
solve. The single advantage we enjoy
in being free from the terrible war
burdens of Europe even in times of
peace, and our practical exemption
from risk of foreign wars, cannot fail
maintain us in our position as the
most prosperous people in tho world.
The annual lale of labor prevented,
labor misapplied, and labor driven
away by the enormous armies and ar
maments of Europe finds no counter
part here. All our labor is productive,
all tends to swell our national wealth,
and to increase our power to do and to
enjoy. This alone would insure our
industrial supremacy, other things be
ing equal, in a very few years; and
fortunately our freedom from Europe's
military burdens is but one of the
great blessings we have to be thankful
for—but one of the conditions which
go to make sure our superiority in pro
ductive power—our supremacy in the
arts of peace. And the advantage of
all this must and does accrue mainly
to the American producer, showing
itself in lighter taxes, higher wages, a
greater diffusion of wealth, and a more
generous style of living; all of which
aro everywhere recognizable by Euro
pean tourists here as characteristic of
the lives of American workers.
THE SABBATH STRONGER THAN AR
MIES.—Count Montalemliort, one of
the most eminent French statesmen,
once wrote: "Men are surprised some
times by the ease with which the im
mense city of London is kept in order
by a garrison of three small battalions
and two squadrons, while to control
the capital of France, which is half the
size, .0,000 troops of the line, and 00,-
000 National Guards arc necessary.
But the stranger who arrives in Lon
don on a Sunday morning, when he
sees everything suspended in that
gigantic capital in obedience to (»od —
when, in the centre of that colossal
business, he 6nds silence and repose
scarcely interrupted bv the bells which
call to prayer, and by the immense
crowds on their way to church, then
his astonishment ceases, lie under
stands that there is another curb for a
Christian people besides that made by
bayonets, and that when the law ol
God is fulfilled with such a solemn
suUniissiveness, (rod himself, if I dare
list; the words, charges himself with
the police arrangements."
SINCE Abraham Lincoln fell we
have had no truer product of Ameri
can institutions, no grander exhibit of
American statesmanship, no truer ex
ponent of the genius and spirit of our
age, than we have in this MAN OF
MAINE. NO name sleeps warmer in the
American heart; no other man's call
rallies such thousands. The people be
" lieve that he is the man for the hour
now striking, and they are determined
that his shall be the name inscribed
upon the banner that is to be lifted up
at Chicago. From this purpose they
are not to be turned. They will not be
frowned down by the imperious auda
i city of an}- great man—nor be cheated

SENTENCE NOT PASSED. ,
THF. MEN* CONVICTED OF CORRVPT SO
LICITATION MISSINO THE REQUI
SITION- QIESTIOX A PRECE
DENT FOR REFC3AL.
llarrisburg, March 29.—The court
roouj in this city never contained a
larger crowd than was in it to-day at 2
o'clock. It was literally packed, al
though almost everybody knew that
n.»ne of those to bo sentenced were in
the city. When Judge Pearson took
his seat District Attorney Hollinger,
who had I»eeu impatiently waiting,
with the indictments in his hand, ad
vanced and informed the Court that
this was the time set for sentencing
the parties who pleaded guilty and
were convicted of corrupt solicitation
at the last Quarter Sessions Court.
"Call the first one," said the Judge,
and the name of "Charles B. Salter"
was cried aloud, with no response.
"Is he not here?" asked the Judge,
somewhat amazed. "It seems not,"
remarked Mr. Ilollinger. "Call an
other," said his Honor, and the name
of "William H. Kenible" rang out,
with no answer. "Is William H.
Kenible not in this court ?" said Judge
Pearson, taking upon himself the du
ties, of crier and looking very angrily
about the court room. There was no
response. The names of Emil J. Pe
troff, William F. Rumberger and Jesse
R. Crawford were successively cal'ed,
aud, as was the case with the previous
two, there was no response. The
Court began to fret and angrily or
dered the District Attorney to proceed
with the next £tep. The names of the
bondsmen were called but none ap
peared, and the District Attorney re
questing a process it was quickly
granted, and Judge Pearson ordered
him to sue out the recognizances as
soon as possible. The crowd was con
siderably disappointed at this sudden
termination of the affair.
THE QUESTION OF A REQUISITION.
But few weft; aware that Mr. Kem
ble had Hod to New York and that
Kumberger and Crawford were in
Philadelphia, but the fact is now gen
erally known, and a great deal of con
jecture is being indulged in as to how
those in other States cau be brought
back. There may be some hitch in
securing a requisition, owing to the
fact that the counsel for the defendants
will dispute such a proceeding on the
ground that a requisition cannot be
granted for a fugitive guilty of misde
meanor such as theso men are charged
with. Gov. Iloyt has a precedent for
refusing, in the case of Bigler, the
cashier of the City Bank in this city,
who (led to California, with a charge
of defrauding creditors hanging over
him. A requisition was asked for,
but Gov. Hartranft refused to grant it
on the ground of its being but a mis
demeanor. But, with this against
them, the counsel for the Common
wealth say they will leave no stouo
unturned to secure the return of all of
the convicted parties. It was inti
ni a tod by counsel for the defease to
day that" their clients will all return
between this and the next session of
court and re-enter bail for their appear
ance for sentence, hoping that the
Board of Pardons may take some fa
vorable action in the cases at the meet
ing on April 20.
WHAT WOLFE SAYS.
Probably the most disappointed per
son here to-day was Representative
Charles S. Wolfe, of Unioa county,
chairman of the Legislative prosecu
ting committee. He said that the con
victed men were "big fools," and that
it would have been better for them to
have faced the music. The remaining
cases, lie said, will be tried at the
April term of court, and not aban
doned, as was generally understood.
KEMHLE IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, March 29.—William 11.
Kemble arrived .in this city, with his
wife, at 7.35 o'clock on Sunday even
ing and proceeded to the St. James
Hotel, where he has since remained.
To-day a number of newspaper men,
who were apprised of his presence,
visited the hotel and sent their cards
to his room, but he refused to see or
talk with any of them. His name is
registered in lull upon the hotel books,
with that of his wife, and he is appar
ently making no effort at concealment,
lie has remained in his room most of
the day and no one here can give any
account of his intentions. It is the
supposition, however, that he is on
his way to Canada and that ho will
leave for there to-morrow. The couple
have very little baggage and the route
to Canada is open to them. So far as
known Kemble has received no callers
to-day, either of legal advisers or
friends. He takes his ineals in his
room and appears desirous of escaping
observation as much as possible. He
had not left this city at 11 o'clock to
night.
CRAWFORD'S LAST Horas AT HOME.
HOLLIDAYSBI RU, March 29.—Repre
sentative Crawford was at his home
here yesterday. He left during the
day, presumably for Harrisburg, since
which time nothing has been beard
from him. Careful inquiry has failed
to elicit anything with regard to his
present whereabouts.
WHEN Kt MBEIIIiER LEFT KITTANNINO.
KITTANNJNU, March 29. —A number
of persons here who are intimately ac
quainted with Representative Rumber
ger, state that they have not seen or
heard of him since last week.
THE following is Sir Matthew Hale's
golden maxim :
A Sunday well «pent
Urines a week ol rontfot,
Ami health for the toil* of the morrow;
lint a Salibath profaned,
Whatao'er may he gained,
Is a certain foreruuner of sorrow. '
