When no trtnny penple nr MtOTWil In
mttttin filthithd rnmparlson of the il
nllv iitwisewthms, warlike nnd othetwlse,
brtwei-n Oreat Hrllnln and the United
States, some will find It of interest to
iKite n few points In that rotation train
cfed frrim nvallnble sintlstlcs. In ft
ntiftiuMnl wny.tokititr fur Instance the vol
ume of domestic exrhttiiRe, H Will be
seen that those of this country nre nl
m.ist equal to thene nf Oermany, Prance
and Oreat lirtiatn eombltied.
All the money in use Is not la domestic
trade, to be Mire, but In mrftteirHte
wealth that of the United States Is
Rrentest of the two lending nations of
the world by 38 jier cent and Is Increas
ing nt a rate that will very soon pxceed
the combined wealth of the three coun
tries named above.
The mechanical energies of this coun
try used in producing thle wealth
amount to 129 tnllHon tons, as tiKslnsl
13 million tons for England, Trance and
Germany together.
The standing ntmles of CJrertl Hrltaln
ntid tho t?iiltetl State have been car
tooned, by the lepresenlntlon of a giant
of ten feet In height to typify that of the
one, and a pigmy of six Inches for thut
of the other; nml so with the armament
In guns and the telntive sttength of the
two navies. Hut America's army Is at
peace, producing the real sinews of war
In the wealth of productions and Intel
ligence of thf people, a devotion to home
Interests and that soft of putt lot Ism thnt
goes hand In hand with national pride.
The standing army of Great Hrltaln
Is i:i8,000, scattered all over the world.
That of the flitted State Is 27,000, all
at home. Tin- full strength of the Itrit
lh army with nil its reserves is 1,011,000.
while the entire population of the Unltil
Htatep capable of bearing arms la the
reset vc we have, and three million men
can be put Into the lleld ns fast as they
can be alined and equipped.
The entire population of Knglantl and
her colonies, capable of bearing ami"", Ii
1 million, ns given by Kngllsh statis
ticians Hy using the same means of
arriving nt the estimate v- And that
the United Stntet would have 17 millions'.
Great Hrltaln lin a navy many times
larger than ours, but her Interest1 that
would be p.K.ed to our slilp und cruis
ers In ca.-e of war .ire many times larger
still, and with thoe interests Ctlppled,
ns they certainly would be, she would
Hud It up-hill business to catty on tiny
war tit nil.
In the case of hostilities the United
Suites would have but si single enemy,
While our hostile opiioiient would be tin
nble to tin ii around without finding a
vlclntm dog at her heels.
And as for money with which to carry
on a conflict, the United States has been
able to got along In the past In emer
gencies quite n.s pressing, with resources
not a tenth ns great. The fact Is, look
at 1t In any way ;iou will, there Is no oc
casion for discrediting the ability of tho
American nation to Mand up for Itself,
let the present unhappy state of affairs
turn out as it may
iiai.amji: or rnwiiit.
More or less learned piofesors of In
ternational law may air tlielr views le
gnrdlng the merits of the controversr
which has been precipitated betwen
this country and Great Hrltaln. But
tho situation is not one upon which
hook men nre competent to throw the
most light, especlallv when they dis
agree ujion almost every proposition ad
vanced each by the other. It Is a condi
tio p and not so much a theory which
confronts us. If nations are not law
makers, who are? If the solemn accept
ance of the nations of tho Western
hemisphere does not place upon a cer
tain policy the seal of authoritative
sin ction, certainly the impudent claim.-,
of Kumpe and Asia cannot force upon
them the iiollcy by which they shall be
governed.
Kuropran aggression and the extension
of Uuropean Influences have been uni
formly repudiated and resisted by all the
South American nations, and the most
practical result which bids fair to fol
low In the wake of this latest instnnce
Is the formation of an alliance vt all
the republics of this hemisphere.
Knglnnd should be the last to resent
or complain of iuterferenio by the
United States, for she has most fre
quently resorted to the piaotlce her
self, tinder the guise of maintaining the
"balance or power " We have a little
power left over here; too much of It
has already been surrendered, but we
are going to keep the balance Kngtind
d( prlved Russia of the territory con
quered from Turkey; she denied to the
same countty the right to acquire t3"ri
tory in the vicinity of the Himalayas;
she, with Prance, refused even to allow
Russia to have a fli et In the Hlark sea.
Russia, seized a share of the spoils o.' the
lato war in the Orient. It was all dune
to preserve that delicate "bnlunce of
power." Well, we have a sort of n tion
that It would disturb our balunce of
power to allow England to make tho
map of South America to suit herself,
and we don't purimse to have that bal
atue disturbed. If there Is no Interna
tlonal law that can protect the nations
of tint, hemisphere, It lt high time there
was one, and now Is u pretty good
change to make It.

MM A .NAItKlIU (Jl'lisl ION,
The question a to tho control of ICnn
a Clly's grain trade raised by Mr
ntlckney nt the CVmmertlal Cllib ban
quel Is the broad matter of the Interests
of Kansns City ns a whole, and not the
Individual gnl ns of those Who are oper
ating in the grain market under the
present restriction! Imposed by tho com
bined railroad Inltuencen. It Is mis
take to attribute the tenor of the Maple
henf president's comments to a desire
to Injure the grain trade of the city,
nor can It be admitted that his criti
cism Is likely to have that tendency.
In view of the well known status of
rntps and their lnllucnce upon hitslnis
Interests quite generally, It would be
folly to say thttt Kansas City Is ns well
favored lis could be desired, or even as
well us It should be. Il may be that in
dividual shippers, whose earnings nre
confined to their commissions, are satls
lled with what they have got, but tho
city has been made the center of a
grand railroad system thnt should do as
well by one class of business ns by an
other. Tho subject of Mr. Stiekiiey's speech
was commented upon by Mr. Vatilnnd
Ingham, commissioner of the transporta
tion bureau of the Commercial Club, In
the right sort of spirit. It Is In that
temper that the subject should be con
sidered by all concerned In the good of
the city's business. There Is nothing to
be gained by looking at the matter from
tho (ircumsctlbed standpoint of personal
satisfaction. Tho question Involves the
action of the combined railroad jiower,
and nobody believes that Knnsas City
can secure any modification of tates In
the Interest of Its trade without asking
for It.
To say that the present conditions nto
satisfactory to the few Is to discourage
any effort to make better terms for the
many. Wo believe that the merits of tho
subject as discussed by Mr. Stlckney ate
sulllciently well understood by those
most directly Interested to render hair
splitting discussion ns unnecessary as It
Would be profitless.
It should be agreed on all sides that
any Improvement of the facilities for
building up a home grain market to tho
commanding magnitude of our home
live stock mntket is most highly desir
able. It may bo perfectly satisfactory
to a claa of dealers in grain to have
conditions remain aa they are, but it
Is not so to those who consider tho sub
ject from a more comprehensive view.
What Is wanted Is a primary market
and not a mere outpost. Wo can have It
when the railroads jdiall see lit to give
the facilities for making such a market.
And whutever may be done to Induce
them to do so will be good work for
Kansas Clt.

It Is becoming apparent that those
"financial leaders" over the other side
havo decided that they have more to
gain by keeping hands off the whole
matter In dispute between England and
America than by coming on the United
States pell-mell for their cash that is
out nt Intel est over here. If they were
determined to cash out they might he
nble to kick up a deal of trouble for
other people, but they are not blind to the
fact that It would be at fl. terrible cost
to themselves.
On second thought they have made up
their minds that 1t Is dangerous business
monkeying with boomerangs. Ten to
one, If the United States should offer an
Installment of gold bonds these same
financial leaders would be tho highest
bidders for them, regardless of their
Umptatlon to get up a scare to set our
markets wild and brlnff on financial
Jim-jams.
These money dealers measure every
thing by dollats und cents, or by pounds,
shillings and pence, which Is tho same
thing under a different name. They
know the United States will never go
Into bankruptcy. There might be a sus
pension for a time, if worst should come
to worst, but In the end everybody who
loans Unci.. Sum a dollar will get It
back with all tho Interest promised. '
But there will be no gold bonds. If
It comes to tho olnt of actually dis
tressing the treasury In order to pay
gold denuincU abroud It will clearly be
because of an eftott to coerce the gov
ernment into submitting to foreign dic
tation in international politics. And
then tt defense will have to be Instituted
that will be commensurate with the nat
ure and magnitude of the attack.
The war flurry has been a good thing
for tho country, b showing how easily
the people drop politics und come to
gether as patriot when trouble Is
threatened from abroad. It will be a
still better thing if It results in provld
lug the country with coast defenses and
a stronger navy. In addition to teaching
foreigners thnt the Monroe doctrine is
a vital und Indestructible American
principle, equully binding with rtcog.

It wns urtor 10 ml sit In the afternoon
when llubbert cntni up to Castro nt the
foot of a sloping hill. Ats-iut 100 yards
ahead of them nnd intt wav up the hill
was a gtent live oak tree, the bronchos
of which came to the ground nnd almost
concealed n huge granite boulder. With
proper caution on" well aimed man
might siicce.ssfull maintain his position
thete ngnlnst an or-llnnry isisse. Chlro.
with gun in hand, was watching this
sjKit intently, his ki-i n ears having
caught the sound of something like n
suppressed cough behind the boulders
"He's In thete," he said. Indicating tho
pile of bntilderd ns Hubbeit came up.
Hubbett doubted it. but on Castto in
sisting they started ton ant the fort, the
ltttrloeks being stationed on the up hill
side, near the summit. Guns In linnd,
the Hurlixits ey.nl tin- wall of rocks as
Castro and llubbert nppronched on the

nnd as ho passed the rift In the ro-'ks
there was a flash amid the given folinge
which partly concealed tho cleft. A cry
of "I'm done for!" came ftoni Castto
Then there was a gurgling hound us he
pitched headlong to the ground. I.Ike
a Hash camo the vision of Rente! la's

"Thtovv up your bands!" he cried as
the cornered man swung his rifle around
The command w.is haidly out of his
mouth before the otrker tired, but quick
n-. he whs, Konterin was quicker, and
the bullet cut the space occupied bv the
hitter's face In the tree behind hltn.
Like n Jack-ln-the-lsi, Kenterln came up
again from behind the Hat boulder, just
In time to catch the constable's bullet
in his left breast. The officer's shots
had been hardly a second ap.tit, and
tho whole thing had happened In
less time than It taki s to tend of It.
The jK-ivvdcr smoke was so dense In tho
pile of bouldets, and, having hoard a
suspicious wiund after his last shot, the
constable moved around the hilltop out
of range, wheie he was Joined by tho
others.
"Renteiia is down there," he said to
hl.s posse. "If you want to st,e him you
can go down. He's g it oor Castro, but
I do not know whether I got him or not "
The pile of bould. t wan coveted by
