WAR EXPENSES.
Frank A. "Vanderlip in McClurc's
Magazine for October gives from the
records in the treasury department
the cost of the war with Spain. Of
the $50,000,000 put at the disposi
tiou of the president in March, $29,-
973,274 was assigned to the navy-
department, $19,81 1,647 to the war
department, $55,000 to the treasury
department, and 53,860 to the state
department. In a few weeks the num
ber of vessels in the navy was more
than doubled. The list of new ves
sels included twenty-seven converted
yachts, twenty-six tugs, eight colliers,
eight cruisers, and nine torpedo-
boats, lighters, and supply-ships
This new fleet was purchased at a
cost of $17,748,385. Many vessels
were also leased for use as transport?,
ice boats, lighters, and water barges.
The auxiliary crusier Harvard, for
merly the steamship New York, and
the Yale, formerly the Paris, each
cost the government $2,000 a day.
They were appraised at $1,900,000
each, and in case either had been lost
the government would have been re
sponsible for that amount. The St.
Louis and the St. Paul were hired by
the government at 62,500 a day and
their appraised value was $3,175,000
each. The armament of all these
new vessels was an expensive matter.
The cost of a thirteen-inch gun is
$63,000 and its mount $18,500. An
eight-inch gun costs $12,000 and its
mount $5,500. To fire one of the
thirteen-mch armor-piercing shells
costs $560. The eight inch shells,
which have proved so effective in
this war, are fired at a cost of $134.
The trainload of ammunition which
was sent to Admiral J)ewey and
which he carried into Manila harbor,
taking in powder, shot and shell, cost
$1,000,000. Each of the five times
his squadron passed the firing arc be
fore the Spanish fleet it expended
$100,000; that is to say, it cost the
United States government $500,000
to destroy the Spanish fleet in Manila
bay. It cost the government $500,
000 to de&troj Cervera's fleet before
Santiago. The collier Merrimac,
sunk by Lieutenant Hobson in the
attempt to block Santiago harbor,
cost $342,000. Every time a fleet is
moved tne government is at great ex
pense. Admiral Dewey's coal bill
for the month of April last was $81,
872. The expenditures for the army
from March 1st to Sept. 30th were
$132,521,508, and for the navy $59,
042,975. This is an increase over
the expenditures for the same months
last year of $136,495,586. The total
war expenses are estimated at $361,
000,000. The daily expenditures in
the midst of war were about $800,
000. They are now about $330,000
a day, or $10,000,000 a month.
LANG VA GE EXPANSION.
A knowledge of various foreign
languages is becoming a convenience
to the American citizen. English is
the language of the law, and the con
stitution, and so of the government,
but even in American politics other
languages come handy. In the 21st
Illinois congressional district, which
includes the county of St. Clair, Wil
liam A. Rodenberg has been nom
inated for congress by the Republi
cans, and it is urged in his favor that
hia parents were Germans, and that
he himself speaks German as fluently
as he does English. Mr. Rodenberg's
Democratic opponent in the district
is Mr. Fred Kern, who edits a daily
paper in Belleville, and it Is set forth
by his advocates that bis German is
.more perfect than that of the Repub
lican candidate. It is easy to be
lieve that a knowledge of Dutch,;
Swedish or Norwegian might prove
as valuable to candidates in Wiscon
sin, Minnesota and Michigan, as
German seems to be in Illinois.
With the acquisitions which our
branch of the peace commission at
Paris seems determined on, our poli
ticians would do well to learn at once
how to say fellow citizens in Span
ish. Expansion will bring with it
the necessity for an extension of
linguistic accomplishments. The
American statesmen and spellbinders
must learn to be all things to all men
and in their respective languages.
