It is almost the universal feeling of the intanti'yunan who has seen service that if he ever enlists again it will be in the ar- tiilery. Unlike either the infantry or the cavalry the artillery has no picket duty to perform and It is always pretty sure to have ample rations on the march for it Is an easy matter to strap a cracker box era a bag of beans or pork or what not on the limber , True. the artilleryman , Ilko his comrade in the cavalry , has a horse to see to before he can look out for himself and In battle the artihicrunan is Iii imminent danger of being picked off ; bitt then get- titig rid of picket duty and the advantage of always having a wagon at hand to tote rations appeal mightily to the mind of the infauitry soldier.

AccordIng to expel' ( figures , the farmers profited last year a thousand million dollars over 18D5. Nearly one-half of this enormous. profit went to pay off farm mortgages and thu balance made extensive home improvements - ments and swelled the farmer's bank hal- anca.

BRIfIhIT I1L'SII'iSS OUTIOOlt. 'Cniijunetlpn ofFnrlttnnr lnflncncel of ttu l'Irt llngtItto" V New york Times , When in our history has the hIllineSS outlook - look of ( hue country been so conpIcuousiy avornbho as at this moment ? When has there been such a conjunction of fortunate Influences of the first magnitude ? To begin with , there is peace. now pretty certainly hovering so near us that her wing. beats will presently be heard , Although the war has ccnseI to be a very serious drag on business , the stopping of a war expendi- Lure of something like $1OOOOO a ( lay will be helpful and .tirntulnting , Then the national domain and the as. tional wealth are about to be augmented by the acquisition of Puerto flico , a highly lroducttvo island 60,000 square nthies in extent , with 2r,00,000 population , yielding coffee , fruits , nuts and tobacco , It has an export and import trade aggregating $36- 000,000 annually , and is capable under Amer. lean inaflagenlent of increasing immensely in population , prliictlven5s ami wealth. We have a credit balance of $600,000,000 in our trade with foreign nations for tile fiscal year jtist closed. We owe far less abroad thah we have oweil at any other : tlmo In the last fifteen yearn , becatiso we have been buying back our securities , and buying them cheap. Accordingly , we have less interest nioncy to ay to foreigners. Already gold Imports have begtln a. most unusual thing for this season of ( lie year. But Europe has no other way of paying its debts to us , The offsets that used to eat lii ) our trade balance arc not equal to the task of disposing of $600,000,000. Another great crop is nearing the harvest time , and another year of largo exports is before us. We produced $60,000,000 of gold last year and $33,000,000 worth of silver , The lOon- dike region hiss begun to send in its second year's yield , whIch must be considerably larger than thio outptit last year. Our money circulation has been very largely increased dtirlng the Inst two years , and the use of the new 3 per cents by the banks will result in another important increase - crease in the voltunmo of money. Cheap money facilitates business , The business of the country is in an tin- usually sound and healthy conditIon. There is ample confidence , a buoyant belief Ia the future and courage and enterprise equal to the opportunitIes that Invite them. There Is but one feature of the eltuntlon which even the most conservative business man would admit was a source of uneasi- ness. That is time possibility of European complications growing out of our war with Spain. It is a possibility so remote and one that might be successfully met in so many ways that it may without imprudence be wholly neglected In business calculations. Ihesides , it is apossibihity that grows less with every passing day. There are years of wonderful prosperity coming. I'EIlSOSAI , AND OTIIEItWISE.

The Inventor of the irocess for extracting gold from sea water is said to be on the sea with $300,000 which he has extracted. Alt American newspaper man In London says that A.

So insignificant a thing as an introduction to a lord or an earl was considered a bargain at $10,000 and one noble earl received $50,000 far acting as chairman of a meeting. The people of Madison , md. , do not appear to take kindly to female conductors on the street cars. The fact that the move has deprived as many men of situations as there are girls employed is not looked on with favor by the citizens , especially as many of the new conductors are not corn- polled to do manual labor for their tvIng. Among the recent rulings on the war revenue bill is one relating to local theatrical performances. The law deportment holds that church and Sunday school entertain- monte , given without hired performers , and amateur theatricais given in licensed hails or In private house for charitable purposes are exempt from the tax.

Philadelphia Record : A voice from Arkansas - sas exclaims : "The Philippines are sours , and we'll keep 'em , civilize 'cm , Christianize 'em and educate 'cm ! " Perhaps it would be well to apply these processes to some eec- tions of our own country before undertaking - ing to impose thorn upon the poor natives of the equatorial islands. A great deal remains - mains to be done at home in these respects. SpringfIeld Republican : To wage war for the sole purposes of seizing territory would be dishonorabie to the last degree , since we entered upon the war with a proclamation to all mankind that ambition did not Inspire our actions. We should convict ourselves of hypocrisy and bring the blush of shame to every honest patriot's check , nut to postpone - pone a peace in order to wage a war of conquest - quest would be worse than dishonorable it would be a high crime against God and man. VIiIlaOeIpIlIa Letlger : Our historic policy of isolation , and of non-intervention , except so far as relates to the integrity of the American continent , a policy builded into the cornerstone of the replihhic , has made us the happiest , the most ideal of nations. Washington and the fathers foresaw the temptations to which we should be subjected - jected and they conjured us o beware of them. In such a time as this , when the war fever quickens our pulses , let us take care no delirious dream of imperialIsm leads us to our own destruction. Chicago Chronicle : We set out to free Cuba and avenge the sailors of the Maine. We have done both , The Cubans are free- and a nice lot of freedmen th are-Spain's fleets have been annihuilated and her power broken. We have accomplished our mission , It we go further we must abandon any pretense - tense of humanity or vengeance and admit that we seek conquest and conquest alone. We can't afford to do it when our 'yolun- teers are ( lying in Cuba , We caui't. afford to weigh distant islands against American lives , We can't afford to haggle with Spain when every hour's delay means mourning for some American home , We must end the war and bring the soldiers back to 004's country. The Spaniards can keep the rest , \Vashington Post : The retention of ( ho Philippines is not essential to the matnte. nanco or expansion of our commercial inter- esta in the east.
