Frostburg Journal. In 1877 Jefferson Davis, ex-President of the Confederate States, visited Mis- souri. The train upon which he trav- eled stopped for dinner at DeSoto, where a Greenback convention was in progress. He saw the situation in the uproarious crowd at the station. In answer to a great call for a speech, he spoke eloquently of the people, state, resources, ete., but not a word about money. At last somebody shouted— “How about greenbacks?” Mr. Davis replied— “As to money, my friends, if you want scrip to trade with among yourselves you can issue county or township scrip. It will be good just as long as you have faith in it. But if you want to do busi- ness with the world outside of your- selves, you will find that you can em- ploy only the currency that is recog- nized and accepted by all nations— gold coin!” The question that now arises is—was he a tool of Wall street? The sound money man of all parties is obliged by the truth to say “no!” The free coirage man of no party, obliged by the same force, cannot say “yes! 127 Monitors and Battleships. It is the opinion of the Courier-Jour- nal, landsman though we be, that the monitor is a more serviceable sea-dog- of-war than the big ungainly tons of steel known as first-class battleships. The monitor fights as well, is more tractable, offers a much less target for the enemy, lasts longer and floats bet- ter. With an adequate navy of moni- tors and torpedo boatsdno fleet of bat- tleships that could be gathered togeth- er could stand agaisnt us. The modern battleship is ag yet an experiment, and by no means a suc- cessful experiment. She is all solar plexus and funny bone, and almost any chance lick sends her doubled up to the bottom. Nor has her fighting efficacy been tested satisfactorily, the only op- portunities for trying her in actual war proving the reverse of satisfactory. In the Chinese war the Chen Yuen, the crack of the Chinese navy, was beach- ed and bandoned after a jab from a torpedo. In the Chilian war the Blanco Eucalada was sunk by a torpedo in less than ten minutes, with nearly two hun- dred on board. In the Brazilian war the Aquidaban was sent to the bottom by one torpedo, and, the water being shallow, was then blown up by another torpedo. The Cost of War, Atlanta Constitution. While the cost of war should not for- bid us to resort to that expident in or- der to maintain the cause of justice and humanity, still the matter calls for some attention just at this time. Since our first struggle with Great Britian in 1776, we have expended in warfare the round susief $10,000.000,000. The Revolutionary war cost $135,193,- 703 and 80,000 lives; the war of 1812, $107,1569,000 and 2,000 lives; the Mexi- can war, $72,000,000 and 2,000 lives ; the Indian wars and other minor wars, $1,- 000,000,000 and 49,000 lives, and the war between states, $8,5600,000,000 and 544,- 000 lives. In this last struggle is in- cluded the loss entailed upon both sides. Seven of the principal wars which Great Britain has waged in modern times have cost as follows: The revo- lution of 1888, $180,000,000; the Spanish succession, $310,000,000 ; the seven years’ war, $560,000,000; the Spanish war, $270,000,000; the American revolution, $71,000,000; the Napoleonic wars, $8,- 015,000,000, and the Crimean war, $350,- 000,000. War at the present time is calculated to be more destructive than ever, but still the demads of justice and human- ity must be met. Fighting Bob Evans. This government having, by putting “Fighting Bob” Evans in command of the Iowa, enrolled that rattling warrior for duty. Let the conflict begin. Nor is this said in a spirit of railery. He is the same “Fighting Bob” Evans that he was when wounded beyond complete recovery during the Civil war, when he refused to be retiréd, even on order of the Retiring Board, and so stoutly re- belled against giving up his quarters in the Galena that President Lincoln, struck by his tenacity, kept him on duty. He has the distinction of being the only lame man in the navy,but thst steel spike that holds up his stiff leg is no barrier to his fighting capacity. It was “Fighting Bob” Evans who de- fied all Chile, seven years ago. He was ordered not to take his Yorktown out to sea from the Chilean harbor, but he told the men who were responsible for the edict to go warm up elsewhere,for he was going to sail at 8 o'clock, and sail he did. This same “Fighting Bob” Evans said a few days ago that if the government would give him the right kind of a vessel and turn him loose against the Spanish in Cuba he would “make hell smell of garlic for six months.” He has his ship, and if he secures the territory, we may soon count on a new odor in the nether hereafter.
