MILITARY BURDENS.
Some figures published by tbe New
York Journal will surprise those per
sons who have imagined that the mil
itary burdens of the great powers of
Europe are of Crushing weight In
Comparison with the military expen
ditures of this country.
The German naval and military
budget for 1898 99 is given in the
new Almanacb de Gotha, just pub
lished. It shows that Germany's
expenses this year for all warlike pur
poses, including army, navy and pen
sions, foot up as follows:
Army
Regular $127,978,116
Extraordinary 24,077,396
Navv
Regular.........: 15,687,724
Extraordinary 14,825,912
Pensions
Armv 14,273,333
Navy 778,255
Total $197,615,736
Our own expenditures for the same
purposes for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1900, if the estimates of the
administration should be adopted,
will be:
Army $166,726,599.71
Navv 47,630,531.08
Pensions 145,233,830.00
Total $359,590,960.79
These figures, it should be remem
bered, are not for wartimes. They
are peace estimates. The Journal
thinks $10,000,000 should be slashed
off the gigantic sum solicited by Sec
letary Alger. If is of the belief that
this would "still leave us more than
twice as much as we were accustomed
to spend on our military establisment
before the Spanish war. Such an
amount," he thinks, "would be ample,
with the co operation of a mighty
navy, to maintain our rights in every
part of the world. Anything more
would be reckless extravagance."
The German empire has a popula
tion of $52,279,901. It is therefore
expending about $3.80 per capita.
The United States has an estimated
population of 74,500,000. If the ad
ministration's estimates shouM be
adopted, U would expend nearlj- $5
per capita.
It should be considered, though,
that German j' pays her soldiers
wages and salaries which would be
out of question in the United States.
A lieutenant in the American army
is paid five times as much as a lieu
tenant in the German arm', and the
pay of the men and other officers is
scheduled on about the same basis.

A thirteen year old girl has been
allowed to marry in Seattle by hei
parents. She should be put in a nur
sery, her parents placed in close con
finement, so that they might not have
liberty to further populate the world,
and the man that married her taken
to the top of a mountain and tied to
a stake and left to perish. The marry
ing of the immature simply increases
the ranks of the criminals, the idiots
and the fools. Gir.'s under 21 should
not be allowed to marry and men not
before they are 25. And then, half
of the time, marrying would be a
mistake. East Oregonian.
