It is estimated that since the Christian era began over 4,000,000,000 human beings have perished in war. |The battleship Texas, now commanded by Capt. Sigsbee, has done its full duty in helping the Spaniards to remember the Maine. g E'The Spanisgh newspapers cmade_ the mistake of overlooking the -bristies when they commented a few months ago so flippantly upon the American e -The Hawaiian calphabet has but 12 letters, and now we’ve’ got to go to work and teach them 14 more. That's one of the drawbacks we encounter by taking them in. :

A number of new post offices are now struggling to live up to the reputation of the great names they bear. .Since the 20th ef July there has been a post office named Hobson, another Sigsbee, #nother Dewey, anotlier.Sampson and another Manila.

One result,a%)f the war is that no navy in the world will be anxious to tackle en American fleet. Itisan undertaking that fmekms the hottest kind of fightingrand a hurricane of shells, big andlittle. Sai{ors who can shoot faster or straighter than the Ameérican are undiscovered.

| Cne reason why the American army hxas handled Spain so severely is because the American is a rapid-fire sort fif thinker. He is not forever talking of to-morrow, and putting off ‘what should be done. It is the quick think of the Yankee and the quick act that fi)akes him a formidable foe. :

| The field of Waterloo, the scene of the bloodiest battle of modern times, ‘he spot beneath whose sod for 83 ears 70,000 gallant soldiers have slept the sleep ‘that knows no waking, now looks like a \%ell-kept garden, with a c%ol, shady forest in the background. Everything wears the smile of peace and good will to men. - .

\ Dewey entered the service in 1854, Watson, Schley and Philip (of the Texas) in 1856, Sampson and Higginson (of the Massachusetts) in 1857, Evans of the Towa. Taylor of the Indiana, Cook of the Brooklyn, Clark of the Oregon, in 1860; Sigsbee of the Maine and Barker of the New York in 1859, Chadwick of the New York, Eolger of the New.Orleansin 1861.

A New Yorker has introduced a new profession, and advertises in the papers that 1n one week’s time he can teach children to play such a nuimber of interesting games that henceforth they will be of no trouble to their parents.” What is this world coming t 0? If a man had made a suggestion of that sort to an old-fashioned mother of 25 years ago he would have had to break the world’srecord on running to keep out of the way of a dog. =~

Police Magistrate Pool, of New York, took occasion a few days ago, during the trial of a man accused of stealing live lobsters froma restaurant keeper, to declare that the boiling or broiling of live lobsters is a crime. e told the restaurant keeper, who was not on trial, but who admitted that he cooked live lobsters, that such practice was a violation of the excise law. The prisoner was discharged, and so, also, after a lecture, was the complaining witness.

" One result ?f the war with Spain will be'to enhance the value of American citizenship in the eyes of the world. Hereafter the American flag and the American citizen will be respected abroad as they have never been before. Among all but the best educated and most traveled classes we have always had the reputation of being a nation of shopkeepers, shrewd, boastful, vulgar, but of little account outside of commercial transa_cti?ns. They know better now. =

~ )T‘he interiors of many of the Philippine islands are filled with aboriginal savages who not only have never recognized Spanish rule, but have never ~Leard of it and know nothing of this turmoil of white races on the edges of their archipelago. The island of - Mindanao has néver as a whole been

under .Spanish rule, and although the port town has for-a number of years been held by the Spanish, the large proportion of the fine-spirited Moros of Mindanao are as independent of all zilegiance to the whites as King Philip was. sl :

The naval parade at New York was in some respects unique. A greater number of battleships have been seen in peaceful naval reviews, but never before an equal number so recently engaged inagreat naval engagementand with -the marks of battle still upon them. The procession, consisting of Admiral Sampson’s flagship New York, the cruiser grooklyn’ and the battleships Oregon, lowa, Indiana and Massachusetts, moved up the river as far as Graot’s tomb, where they saluted and turped. The pageant was one long to be remembered. .

IS ON THE INCREASE.

Reports Show That Trade Is Con- ! stantly Improving.

Volume Larger Than Ever Before— No Unfavorable Change in the Crop Prospect—A Reduced Number of Failures.

New York, Aug. 27.—R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, say:

““The volume of business reflected in exchanges at the principal clearing houses is 20.4 per tent. larger than last year, and 26.8 per cent. larger than in 1892, heretofore the year of largest business and highest prosperity ever known. Part of this. increase was due to speculation at New York, but there remains a healthy increase over the best of previous years, and though in some branches business is not satisfactory in character, in nearly all it is in volume larger than ever before. No unfavorable change appears in the prospect of crops, upon which the welfare of the country so largely depends, nor is there present or threatening financial disturbance. Europe has not wearied of buying American securities, although some speculators have been selling, nor is there shown any want of confidence among American investors. . “Wheat goes down three cents for the week, as if there were no ffreign demand coming, the obvious concer of farmers to keep back wheat, the crop being certainly very large, tending to encourage a conspiracy of traders against them, which thus far has entire control ofthe market. ‘““The outpue of iron and #teel no longer medsures the demand, and the stipulated stoppage of furnaces+n the Shenango and Mahoning valleys has raised the price of Bessemer pig agPlttsburgh to $10.50, and of grey forge to $9.25, without any certainty whatever that, such prices can be maintained when the valley furnaces resume operations, as some of them are now doing. “Failures for the week have been 1% in

the United States, against 223 last year, and 26 in Canada, against 34 last year.!’ : Bradstreet’s Review. % “Business conditions in the main reflect the continuance of most of the favorable features hitherto dominating the trade situation in the more favored sections of the country. Prominent in this direction, of course, are the iron and steel and allied industries, in which active demand, present or prospective, has led to further price advances, 'sustained and even increased activity in distribution at most western markets, with some improvement likewise noted-at the south and on the Pacific coast, steadiness in prices—wheat, corn and cotton, however, excepted—a reduced number of business failures, fair gains in railroad earnings; as a whole, and bank clearings, in spite of a slight reduction from last week, showing heavy gains over all corresponding periods in previous years. “The less favorable elements in the situation are the reparts of arrested or smaller than expected trade at eastern markets, more particularly in textile lines, lowered quotations and apparently less active demand from abroad for our cereal products and reduced prices paid for the south’'s great staple, raw cotton. Qualifying the latter might be mentioned the fact that spring wheat has apparently begun to move in the northwest, and the promise of large yields in wheat and cotton alike, has tended to depress prices.”’ v o A Train Wrecked.‘ Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 24—The southbound passenger frain om the Atlanta, Knoxville & Northern was wrecked three miles south of here.
