He is Pedro Alvarado, a young mine owner, who has just given $10,000,000 to give homes to the poor and schools to their children. He ajso proposes to pay the national debt. May the example of hese tw man spread! So far as it has been figured op at Tok yo, the total money cost of the war with Russia amounts to $1,100,000,000. This does not include the interest on the war debt to be paid hereafter. It cost Great Britain little, if any. less than that to con quer the small Boer republics of South Africa -some $700,000.000' being added to the principal of England's public debt alone. Little less amazing than Japan's overwhelming of Russian power in East ern Asia is the comparative smallness of the money cost. A German expert, for the purpose of creating sentiment in favor of an enlarged navy, adds up the tonnage of the several national navies, and he finds thdt Ger many stands fourth, and behind the United States. First comes England, with 56 battleships built since 1882, and 67 large cruisers; then France, with 26 and 20 severally; then Germany, with 19 and 12. but with a cons derably smaller aggregate tonnage; and after these four come Japan and Italy. To his view the fact that the three largest navies belong to the three nations that are most closely allied gives the assurance of peace to the world. Tfit tHitiAnvf and UfftRfiibUM Ti, ia'.'.iili vi rrndum is the most important ''.-.ext step" in political re form in this country. Its advent ought to do wonders in breaking up corrupt polit ical machines and preventing the passage of vicious legislation, and under it, real leaders af the people will find it easy to arise oa real issues. The movement has not yet attracted the popular attention it deserves, yet it is quietly being extended all over the United States, especially in the West. In the recenk elections, Mass achusetts, Maine, Deleware, Montana and Oklahoma, following the previous lead of Oregon, South Dakota, Illinois, Ohio, Utah and Texas, voted for soma form of the initiative and referendum, or 'sa elected a majority in their legislasure pledged to such a system, while it is said that 1 04 members of the neat House of Congress are also pledged.

While there is a feeling quite genera throughout the country, that sooner or later the United States and Japan will engage in war, it is not expected at this time. The idea of war between these ' two countries is based ujhjn the presumed knowledge that Japan would attempt to secure the Philippines in this manner. that owing to the facttht her base would be nearer the Philippines than nurs. she might be successful.
