Special Washington Letter.
It Is amazing with what rapidity this
Philippine war has changed the opin
ions of Republican statesmen. Until
this year nobody of any reputation
ever openly advocated the theory that
we 6hculd keep up a military and na
val establishment of vast proportions.
Now it is asserted by Republican lead
ers, both in congress and upon tho
stump, that we should have a navy
equal to the largest in the world, which
means equal to England's. That would
take $310,000,000 in cash to build bat
tleships of the first class, to say noth
ing of torpedo boats, armored cruisers,
protected cruisers, monitors, commerce
destroyers and other smaller craft; for
England has G2 more battleships, and
one of that class costs at least $5,000,
000. To make a navy really equal to
England's would probably cost $1,000,
000.000. I believe as firmly as do the
Republicans In the wisdom of Sancho
Panza's dictum that "in peace is the
time to prepare for war." Consequent
ly I am in favor of a navy adequate to
all of our wants, but I am teetotally
opposed to any such monstrous folly
and preposterous extravagance as to
undertake to rival England in the size
and strength of our naval equipment,
for we have no use for it. A man does
not have to be an idiot in order to be
a patriot.'
Immense Standing? Army.
It Is now vigorously contended both
In and out of congress and for the first
time that we should have a standing
army as large in proportion to our pop
ulation as any other nation on earth
has, and men who have never given one
moment's consideration to what this
proposition means throw high their
sweaty caps in air and yell for it as
though It meant a great blessing for
the republic. What does this proposi
tion mean? France, with a population
of 33,000.000, has a standing army of
700,000 men; Italy, with about the
same population, has about the same
sized army. Germany, with a popula
tion of over 40,000,000, has an army of
over 800,000 men, and so on to the
end of the chapter. The truth Is that
every nation of Europe is groaning un
der the great load of tax to keep up
Its standing army. To such an ex-,
tent has this been carried that it is
said in Europe that every laborer car
ries a soldier upon his back, and while
the census figures have not alb been
published for this year's census the
general estimate is that we have a pop
ulation of about 70.000,000, not count
ing Porto Rico and the Philippines.
On the theory that we should have an
army equal in proportion to the stand
ing armies of other countries we would
have an army of about 1,800,000 men,,
for which we have no earthly use and
which would cost an annual sum at
the thought of which the overburden
ed taxpayers must shudder.
When the bill to reorganize the ar
my was before the house, I catechised
my Republican friend. Colonel B. F.
Marsh of the (Juincy district, who was
a brave Union soldier and who is a
leading member of the committee on
military affairs, as to the cost of main
taining a soldier In the regular army.
His reply to my inquiry was that the
average cost of maintaining a regular
soldier while doing service in the Unit
ed States Is about $1,000 per year. On
the basis of 1,800,000 regulars, at $1,
000 apiece, the cost of the standing ar
my would be $1,800,000,000 per year,
and there isn't a man living who can
give any valid reason or plausible ex
cuse for withdrawing 1,800,000 young
men from the ranks of the producers
and loading them upon the people's
backs at a cost which the mathematic
al powers of the human mind are inad
equate to comprehend. The only way
to prevent this stupendous folly Is tq
elect Bryan and a Democratic con
gress, for there is no earthly sense in
electing a Democratic president with
out a Democratic congress to aid him
In his patriotic endeavors for the pub
lic weal. I repeat it that we have no
nse for such a standing army or any
thing approximating It
Strength of the Republic.
We have never depended on the regu
lar army or a great navy for. our de
fense; we have never waged a war in
which the volunteers did not do the
major part of the fighting, and the
United States never did carry on a
war without success. The real strength
of the republic lies in the patriotism
and ralor of the volunteers, men who
are not professional soldiers, but who,
when the country is In danger, quit the
civil walks oi life, shoulder their mus
kets, fight till the country is victorious
and then cheerfully lay down their
arms and return to their business.
Volunteers fought the war of the
Revolution, they fought the war 'of
1812, they fought' the Mexican war,
they fought the Indian wars and they
did the principal part of the fighting on
both sides In our . titanic civil war.
The most splendid army that the sun
ever looked down upon was the com
bined forces of the Union and Confed
erate sides at the close of the civil
war, and the most amazing spectacle
ever seen among men was that of a
million and a half veteran soldiers
stacking their arms, doffing their uni
forms and returning without a mur
mur to the peaceable vocations of
American citizenship. The volunteer
soldier is not only the safety, but he is
the glory, of the republic.
From the close of the civil war In
1885 down to the beginning of the
Spanish war our standing army had a
strength on paper of 25,000 men. As a
matter of fact, it usually averaged
23,000 officers and men, and we got
along splendidly during all that time,
and If the possession of the Philip
pines necessitates such a navy and
such a standing army as above Indi
cated that alone Is sufficient to demon
strate that it is the greatest curse that
ever befell a free people. But, In my
Judgment, this vast military establish
ment is not desired or intended for
service abroad, but to be located in the
large cities, to carry the election for
congressmen and for the legislatures
that elect congressmen of the United
States. Surely the American voters
are not ready to substitute a govern
ment by the bayonet for a government
by the ballot. The most amazing
thing about this proposition is that
any foreign born citizen of the United
States can be Induced to vote for the
party that advocates it, for it Is safe to
state that 50 per cent of all the for
eign born male citizens of the United
States now here who were adults when
they came to America came here to
escape military service themselves and
to save their boys , from being con
scripted into the standing armies of
Europe. It surely cannot be that they
will help establish here the bad sys
tem from which they fled when they
left Europe. i '
Philippine Matters.
Notwithstanding the vast amount of
writing and talking that has been done
about the Philippine question there
are certain features.of.lt to which suf
ficient attention has not been given.
Among other evil effects of the Phil
ippine business is the building up of a
huge pension roll which my grandchil
dren will not live long enough to see
paid off, and my oldest child is only 10
years of age. If any old Union soldiers
read this, I wish to call their special
attention to this fact and to put Into
their ears a flea of large proportions,
for they have a direct Interest In the
matter.
When God created the world, he
could have made It exactly the same
climate from pole to pole as easily as
the way he did make It, but for some
wise purpose he made 'the arctic zones
so cold that nobody can live there; he
made the temperate zones and white
people to live in them; he made the
torrid zone a-straddle of the equator,
where there is eternal summer, and
he made negroes, Malays and oth
er colored persons to live in It, We
can't live there; it is contrary to na
ture. If we had discovered the Philip
pine Islands and there hadn't been a
native on them and we hadn't been
compelled to fight to get possession of
them, we could not populate them with
people of our own race. For 300 years
the Hollanders have had possession of
the island of Java, with a climate al
most exactly the same! as that of the
Philippines. Six different times have
they tried to colonize It with white
persons, and six times have they sig
nally and completely failed. People
of our breed can't live in the Philip
pines. To try it is to fight against fate.
Those who do not die there will be
fit subjects for pensions as long as
they live; that fact should cause the
veterans of the civil war to keep their
optics pealed, for there is just so much
money and no more that can be devot
ed to pensions. A great many Union
soldiers are still without pensions and
want them; many who "have pensions
desire them increased. If a large pen
sion roll is built up by reason of this
endless Philippine war, the old Union
soldiers will be cut short on their pen
sions just as certainly as water runs
down hill, for It is a mathematical
truth that when a pie is cut into six
pieces the pieces are not as large as
when it is cut into four.
Hard Work to Get Pensions.
I am fully aware that the statement
that my grandchildren will not live to
see these pensions paid off seems pre
posterous. Eight years ago I would
not have made It. but In that length of
time I have learned something. When
I first went to Washington as a con
gressional greenhorn and tenderfoot,
theyt did with me what they did with
all tenderfeet and greenhorns that Is,
shoved me off to poor and obscure
committees ' where there was a great
deal of hard work and scant glory.
Now I rank second among the Demo
crats on. the great foreign affairs com
mittee. wThich Senator Henry Clay
Heather facetiously denominates the
swagger committee, of the house, but It
took me eight years to get up there.
A congressman has to begin at the foot
of the class and spell up. Therein lies
the wisdom of retaining a faithful and
capable representative In congress.. In
my first service In congress 1 was as
signed to the old pensions committee,
which had jurisdiction over all pen
sions back of the civil war; that com
mittee had Jurisdiction over pensions!
growing out of the Revolutionary war, !
the war of 1812. the Mexican war andi
the Indian wars. ; - j
I never had studied much about the.
matter, but I supposed all the Revolu
tionary soldiers and their widows had!
died and gone to glory long ago. That!
proved to be a great . mistake, for In j
1803. 1894 and 1885 that committee put
In a large part of lta time considering'
penslon bills for widows of the Revo
lutionary war, which closed In 1783.
Only two or three weeks ago I saw in
the newspajtara vuere one of those
widows whoa i ieiped to pension In
1803 had just died. That state of af
fairs was a great mystery to me at
first, and I determined to fathom it
how those widows had come down to
us from the past century and I suc
ceeded in the Investigation. The way
it comes about is this: A soldier of the
Philippine war, now 18 years old, lives
to be 90 and becomes a widower. He
marries him a wife 15 years old, and
she lives to be 00. She will be draw
ing a pension 147 years from now! And
she will be drawing a pension after we
and our children and our grandchildren
are gathered to our fathers! Of course
this is an extreme case, but that a
great many of them approximated this
condition is the only way to account
for those Revolutionary widows who
are still living.
As a matter of fact. If a Revolution
ary soldier was 18 years old In 1783,
the last year of the war, and lived to
be 75, then married a girl 15 years old
who lived to be 75, she would still be
drawing a pension up to the present
day. I do ndt believe that either the
veterans of the civil war or the tax
payers are In favor of fastening on the
backs of three generations of our de
scendants a large, pension debt grow
ing out of a war whose results will be
a curse to us Instead of a blessing even
if we succeed In it.
Senator Chandler In Trouble.
The New Hampshire state railroad
trust has declared war on Senator
Chandler, Republican, and has joined
hands with Senator Gallinger to pre
vent Chandler's re-election. It is per
tinent here to recall the fact that these
two senators had a bitter quarrel a
few months ago in which the feathers
flew to some extent.
William E. Chandler was selected by
President Lincoln 35 years ago to probe
and prosecute In the case of the Phila
delphia navy yard frauds. He is one
of the few remaining relics of the Lin
coln style of Republicanism and is now
doomed to defeat by the Hanna-Gal-llnger
railroad trust gang of political
buzzards, all because Chandler is the
kind of bimetallist that the Repub
lican party declared Itself to be in its
1896 platform and because he opposes
trusts.
Chandler was a leading Republican,
the friend of Lincoln, when Hanna
was making his pile by hook or crook,
when Roosevelt was In school, and
has for years, like Schurz and John B.
Henderson, stood as one of the few re
maining representatives of what Re
publicanism was In its best estate, be
fore Mark Hanna and his evil days
came. Schurz and Henderson have
turned their backs ion Hanna and his
flock of cormorantsthey have walked
out and closed the door forever. Chan
dler has seen the fall of all that was
good in the party of Lincoln, "like
leaves in wintry weather." Will he
remain In the Republican party as now
constituted? It does seem to me that
he will be mighty lonesome there.
Still They Come.
Mr. Bryan has been touring Indiana,
speaking as only he can speak, endur
ing a physical strain that would kill
Fitzsimmons or Corbett and making
friends and votes by the thousand.
Gus Thomas, the playwright the man
who wrote "In MIzzoura" has been
with him and says the plain people
throng to the car steps merely to touch
his garments, as the Judteans flocked
in the footsteps of the Nazarene.
. In one day Bryan visited nine coun
ties around Indianapolis and made 12
speeches of considerable duration. At
Richmond ex-Congressman Henry U.
Johnson, who, with Thomas B. Reed,
constituted the brainiest pair of Re
publicans in congress since Blaine
died, presided at the meeting. It .will
be remembered that Johnson refused
renomination at the hands of the Re
publicans and declared for Bryan. And
still they come through the woods!
Ellsabethan Seamen.
The Elizabethan seaman seems to
have been a rather serious minded
man. There is little of the happy go
lucky Saturday night sailor about the
men of Hawkins or Drake. Their offi
cers gave them a very indifferent char
acter. They were a "loose rabble;"
"vagrant, lewd, disorderly;" "a regi
ment of common rogues." Raleigh
said that "they go with as great a
grudging to serve in his majesty's ships
as if It were to be slaves in the gal
leys." Perhaps this description was
only meant to apply to the sailors of
James 1, Of whom It was written.
If we are to judge from the records
of the voyages of Hawkins, Drake or
the Earl of Cumberland, the tide of
Puritanism was already rising among
them. They accepted the wonders of
the new world with the unquestioning
faith of . children, and most of Its un
pleasant surprises were attributed to
direct satanic agency. Prayerfully and
powerfully they fought the Spaniard,
who was antichrist, and prayerfully
and frugally they Inaugurated the
slave trade, which filled their pockets.
When Hawkins, with a hold full of ne
groes, encountered bad weather and
the cargo sickened and died, he con
soled himself with the pious reflection
that "the Lord would not suffer his
elect to perish." The negroes, not be
ing of the elect, perished freely. Nine
teenth Century.
But Sot Ornamental.
The nervous young man backed Into
the nearest chair. The fair girl glared
at him. "You're a bird!" she cried sar
castically. "Why er what?" he gasped.
"You're on my hat!" she fairly
jtcreamed. Philadelphia Press,
