ENORMOUS LAND GIFTS.

The debate in the Senate Wednesday
on the Northern Pacific land forfeiture
bill revealed a recklessness in the past
in giving away the public lands that is
indeed reprehensible. According TO
the statement of Senators Call, of Flor
ida, and George, of Oregon. the original
grant of land TO the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company was 70 0oo, 900 acres.
Call said he was informed that an Eng
lish syndicate had offered to buy the
land grant and pay 50 Q. ooo. 600 for it.
George stated that the average sales
of land by the Nor thefn Pacific Rail-
road Company had been 81 per acre
which would make the land grant worth
sl6s. 900 900. He further stated that the
cost of the road was s75. 0oo. 600, which,
deducted from the value OF the land
grant, shows a balance IN cthe COM
pany's favor OF ss5. 90, 900. afier having
built the entire road from the git they
received from Congress- -
Such munihcent gifts OF the public
domain to railroad corporations is sim
ply shameful. %

SECRETARY WHITNEY'S SEA-SICK Elk
PERTS

CAPTAIN Meade, there is now reason TO be-
lieve, will not make report upon the DOL
phin's stormy voyage. Upon his arrival at
Washington he met with a cool reception at
the Navy Department. The experts, it ap-
pears, were expected to prepare written
report upon the vessels performance, and the
captain was Invited to return to his ship. AS
an officer of thirty-fve years experience,
he might have been credited with possessing
qualifications for deciding whether the vessel
was seaworthy and structurally sound. But
the Secretary attaches great Importance to 'ex-
pert testimony. The commanding officer who
personally directed the man@uvring of the ship
in the strom was thrust aside, and the experts,
every one of whom was confined to his state
room with sea-sickness at the critical stage OF
the voyage, were instructed to do their work
Who are these experts Are they men who
have mad experience in the designing of engines
and iron shipsl No; one is n detective of
marine insurance who is styled captain be-
cause be once commanded brig in the
merchant marine; another, known as an
"engineer,n was years ago partner In an
engine manufacturing firm, but never designed
or built thoroughly modern engine and the
third has been running wooden steamboats, IN
China. We do not wish to deal unfairly with
these co-called experts, but it is really neces-
sary to add that their opinion respecting the
Dolphin whether favorable or untavorablc,
will not have any weight in or out of the
service. Not one of them Is connected with the
Navy. Not one Of them has established n repu-
tatiOn that qualities him to be considered an
expert respecting steam engines and iron ships.
One of them is a crony of Captain Belknap,
whose connection with the Examining Board
has deeply prejudiced him against the Dolphin.
Another was the business partner of one OF
Secretary Whitney's official favoritcs. One has
been lDud in his public condemnation of the
Dolphin as a badly designed, chearly con-
structed ship. Apparently all are partisans,
and were appointed because they could be de-
pended upon to do the work that was plainly
expected from them.
We had hoped that Secretary Whitney had
turned over n new leaf and was anxious to re-
trieve his reputation. The appointment of 80
in competent and serve board of experts i'm
plies that he has not yet abandoned the effort to
Justify his dealings with Mr. Roach. The re-
markabe performance of the Dolphin has prob
ably rendered this expedient futile. In any
event, the report of the experts, whether hostile
or not, will not de 'erve serious consideration.
II will only be interesting as showing the
lengths to which the Administration may go in
justifying its warfare upon the ship-building
industry warfare without the shadow of
excuse save the temptations of partisanship.

very suspicious that they no longer conhde
their secrets to the missionaries. He points to
the fact that the half breed outbreak was pre-
ceded by just the same access OF reticence-" 90
along as the half breeds talked with their
aprests, and even threatened them, no danger
" was imminent. II was when they held secret
"meetings and avoided the priests that the
"trouble began"
The Archbishop says that the Northwestern
Indians have already supplied themselves with
a fair stock of ammunition, but that they are
determined to have an ample supply before
they do anything. The absence of plain evil
dences of their purpose he regards as having no
weight inasmuch as it is their practice to keep
all their plans secret until the very hour OF
action. There are now on the eastern slope OF
the Rocky Mountains some thirty thousand
Indians, and they are in league together. Be-
tween them and the forces of the Dominion is
broad belt of fertile land dotted thiclly with
well-stocked farms. The protection OF this
area is believed to be impossible. The raiding
of it would furnish supplies of beef and corn
sufficient to last year at least The problem
which the Government of the Dominion is
called upon to deal with is therefore exceed
ingly difficult. Civilization has no further
palliatives to offer these Indians. Extermina-
ton threatens them under any circumstances,
and the only alternative is life which they are
already disgusted with. Should persuasion fail,
a conflict is liable to ensue which will severely
strain the resources of Canada.

ONE WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

ONE WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
The Hon. John NJ. Langston, a clever colored
orator, in New Years address before an as
sembly of his own race called TO celebrate the
emancipation proclamation, thought the occa-
sion fitting to utter the prophecy that cOlOred
men will be among the delegates to the next
Democratic National Convention. Within that
time, he says, negro orators will be seen upon
the platform adv coating Democratic principles,
doctrines and usages. Perhaps hc may be
right, but why should he trouble himself to
make the point that in that event the negro
vote will not be denied"7 Why should he seem
to hail that festive day as one when " it will be
protected, it will be valued and counted as
cast"i
Mr. Langston is but slightly acquainted with
the political history of the people who were
made free and equal beiOie the law by that
foremost Republican martyr whose act he cee-
brates in so peculiar manner, If he supposes
that there ever was time when the negro vote
was not protected and valued and counted SO
long as it was cast for Democratic candidates.
Even the negrO-hunting Ku Klux and the
White League ruflians in the days when Re-
publican Presidents had to send armies to the
South to shield the ncgro's life found no fault
with him so long as he voted as they bade If
Mr. Laugston regards the proper solution of
this social problem to be the debasement Of his
people into political bondage under their
tender-hearted friends the BOurbOns, his
recommendation that they make Democratic
speeches and vote the Democratic ticket is we'll
advised. But it does seem as if he might have
chosen more appropriate method of ceebrat-
ing the grand consummatiOn OF the first great
issue that arose between the party that freed
the negro and the party that sought to perpetu-
ate his slavery.

stock for uge But Congress 0verdld It, MAKING
gold relatively too valuable as money. silver
was then worth In other markets more as
bullion than the dollars were worth mere as
money that is, more than one-sixteenth OF the
same weight of gold. Consequently, the dollars
all went abroad, and long before the war tne
coin had been as much out OF general use IN
this country as If it never had been colheu.
The msjudgment in 1884, as to the quantity oI
silver that should be made equal to gold, drove
silver out of the country, just as the mls]udg
ment in 1902 had driven out gold. The act Oh
1873 recognized the fact that the silver dollar
was no longer practically in use, by omitting IL
from the list of coins authorized.
In 1878 the coinage was restored, Dut OH
precisely the old ratio, about 16 grains silver
to 1 grain gold. The silver had meantime
become worth so much less in the markets OF
the world that people who knew its value
would not receive it in place of gold. Inc
Government had borrowed and promised to
pay large sums in the coin which had been
In actual use between 1884 and 1878, ana
could not force creditors to take silver instead
without destroying its credit. collapse OF
public credit would have broken banks, insur-
ance companies, trust companies, and savings
banks by the hundred, and the loss to the
people, and particularly to those who had saw
ings from their labor, would have been fright
full Hence, tho Government has to this day
refused to force creditors to take "coin
which was not in use at all when their claims
were created, though using every other means
in its power to get silver into larger use. But
without compulsion only about 100000
finds actual use, out of more than 5000, 100000
coined.
Whenever debts can be paid with two kinds
of coin, one of which is worth more abroad as
bullion than hero as money, people will pay
debts with the poorer, and send the other coin
abroad to get the profit on its sale as bullion
If silver and gold could be pat into circulation
side by side the silver, being worth fifth less
than the gold, would stay here and the gold
would go abroad. The calamlties which would
result from driving gold out of the country are
so great, and the supply of silver already coined
is so far in excess of actual needs if gold is not
to be driven out, that the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury earnestly ask sus-
pension of silver coinage.

things That SHOULD BE WELL-KNOWN
A correspondent thinks rudimentary informa-
ton about silver is needful, and says he does
not himself understand some things which the
papers take for granted that everybody knows.
1t is to be feared that he is not alone.
The fathers in 1892 began coming two
metals, 27a4 grains pure gold to one dollar,
and 371l4 grains pure silver to one dollar that
is, 8 grains silver equivalent to l grain gold.
The alloy to make coins harder is not reckoned
of any value. In a few years gold became
worth little more than 10 grains silver in
other markets, and consequently went abroad
to be sold there Us bullion while silver stayed
here tn be used as money.
To remedy this, Congress in 1884 reduced
the amount of gold in the dollar to % 1-5
grains pure, so that dollar in gold was then
equal to about sixteen grains IN silver-pre-
cisely, 1888. The object was to make the
gold more valuable here as money than else
where as bullion, and so to get back and keep q
