The great advantage possessed by the United States over Europe are forcibly shown by Mr. Edward Atkinson in a table in which he compares our burdens with those of the older civilization. Whoever glances at his flgures will be able to un derstand why multitudes of people in Eu rope are now eager to enjoy the happier conditions which prevail in the Western republic. For the purpose of his comparison he takes Europe as a whole, with the excep tion of Russia and Turkey, the half civil ized nations, and omits Alaska from the United States. The rest of Europe con tains about 225,000,000 inhabitants, who occupy 1,540,802 squaremilesof territory. The population of this country is a little over 50,000,000, and besides Alaska the United States comprise 3,034,399 square miles. That is, less than one quarter of the population of Europe are here living on about twice the amount of land. In other words, while Europe has 145 in habitants to the square mile the United States have only sixteen and a half. Since 1848 the debt of Europe has near ly trebled, and is still increasing,whereas our bebt is now less than it was in 1805 by over a thousand millions of dollars. We have already paid more than a third of the great cost of the war, and there fore, now owe only about $1,880,000,000, against $2,997,386,203, the debt at the close of the wasteful contest. The debt oi Europe iu 1880 was $16,794,800,000, or an average to each inhabitant of $74.64, while here the average on the first of last March was only $36.85, though iu 1865 it was $83.35. The national expenditures of Europe were $2,582,800,000 in 1880, or an average to every person of $10.15. Our expendi tures for the year ending June 30, 1880, were $267,642,957, or an average of $5.35 to each inhabitant. The standing armies of Europe number over 2,100,000 men, besides the still more numerous reserves who maybe called in to the Held at any moment. More than one in ever 110 of the population is a soldier in active service. Reckoning one able-bodied man to every five inhabi tants, each twenty-two men sustain one soldier. Our army is only 25,000 strong, and each 2,000 inhabitants, or each 400 men sustain a soldier. Is it any wonder that the people of Eu rope, witness our prosperity and envy ing our comparative freedom from the burdens which rest on their industry, are now crossing the ocean at a more rapid rate than ever before to share iu our good fortunes? They find military glory too ex pensive a luxury, and long for the re public where men can work for them selves and are not obliged to toil for the support of vast armies whose only occu pation is to learn the business of fighting* against the possible coming of a time when they shall be engaged in actual war. One of the great blessing which this country enjoys is our freedom from the militarism which is eatiug out the life of Europe and crushing the spirit of its peo ple. Fortunately we have plenty of room for the immigrants who are now crossing the ocean at the rate of half a million a year. Affairs iu the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations have about reached a crisis. The United States cavalry at Fort Sill were ordered to report for duty at Musgogee, to co-operate with the Choctaw militia iu removing the white intruders and their stock. All persons uot Indians, or inter married with them, are classed as intrud ers, and will be driven out. The order of banishment will be speedily and effect ually executed. Great terror and dis tress exists. Three hundred families have crossed the border within the last ten days, leaving everything behind. The roads are lined with flying fugitives, who had abandoned their cabins to the flames and their growing crop and stocks. A number of whites refuse to leave, and threaten to fight if force is used, claim ing to hold genuine permits. After July Ist the charge for transpor tation of worn or mutilated United States notes received for redemption in sums of SSOO or multiples thereof, and |of new United States notes returned therefor, will be paid by the Government. On re mittances not sent in the above amounts or consisting in any part of notes lit for circulation or of other notes than United States notes, the entire charges will be deducted. BUSINESS LOCALS.
