Coast Defense Cruisers

Should our acquisitions Of war vessels
continue for any great length of time in the
same ratio of increase that the past five
wears have shown, we shall soon accumu-
late an armament second to none in the
world. Besides the three large warships
lately contracted for, the navy depart
ment has reoensly advertised for bids
/ for the construction of a harbor de-
fence ram Of ?, ESQ tons, torpedo boat of
| ll2 tons, and a swift torpedo cruiser Of $50
tons. This ram is TO be constructed in &C.
cordance with plans prepared at the navy
department. Specifications require that
she shall maintain a speed of seventeen
knots an hour for two consecutive hours,
and premium of s15.000 will be allowed
for each quarter knot in excess of that rate.
The torpedo boat is TO be constructed on
plans provided by the bidder with a view
of developing speed of twenty-forr knots
per hour. For speed in excess of that
rate. premium will be allowed
of $500 for each quarter knot I'D to
twenty-four knots, and of $4,000 for each
quarter knot in excess of that rate. The
vessel will not be accepted unless she makes
at least twenty-three knots. ard a penalty
OF 5000 will DE imposed in case she makes
less than twenty-four knots The torpedo
cruiser will be built on departments plans,
and is required to develop minimum speed
o. twenty-five knots. A penalty of $40. 600
is prescribed for each quarter knot less
than twenty-three knots, and a premium
will be allowed at the rate of $40, 600
per quarter knot above twenty-three
knots, and up 10 twenty-four knots, and
OF $4,000 per quarter knot in excess of
twenty-four knots. Speed is really the
most essential quality of these vessels. Still,
specifying high rate of speed under
penalty for non-comformity is of little
practical avail, unless the penalty is strictly
enforced. That has not been done in sew
eral recent instances. wherein the contract
stipulations we're not fully complied with.
Rigid enforcement Of penalties is the only
way we can secure reliable high rate of
speed.

Another good man gone wrong. This
time he happens to be a judge on the su-
perior court bench in New York city.
Judge Beach is said TO have confessed to
stock speculations in which he lost SIS, 900
that the brokers now claim he has never
paid, although he gets a salary Of sl5,O a
year. That makes rather an ugly looking
case for the judge. Were these brokers to
bring case before him and insist upon his
trying it, is there any likelihood that he
would refuse? Very little. And in the
event that it should all hinge upon
the judicial construction of a nice
point of law is it at all likely that
he could decide impartiallY with the
prospect Of mourning the enmity of his
creditor staring him in the facel BY no
means. Removal is the only proper remedy
for judge who speculates.

There Is little literary weekly in New
York called the Critic, which cirulates
chiefly among women who affect amateur
literary pretensions. Recently it offered its
readers chance to select by the hackneyed
ballot system list Of twenty female writer's
whom the voters thus enfranchised regarded
as the truest representatives of what is
best in cultivated American womanhood. y
Here are the ladies whose winning
ways caught the fancy of the
voters: Harriet Bsecher Stowe, 26S:
Frances Hodgson Burnett, 24l; Mary
II. Murfree c'Charles Egbert Grad
dock'D, 2l5; Julia Ward Howe, 204; Eliza

Prescott Spoiford, 81; Louise Chandler
Moulton, 81; Mary E. Wilkins. So: Blanche
Willis Howard Teufsl, 81. These people
the publication loftily calls the Twenty
lmmortelles." This contest is interesting
for two things: IL shows that the Critic
has just 3,012 readers-uuless some of them
are what in political parlance are called
'repeaters." 1t does not contain the names
of the most distinguished literary women,
suca as Marian Harland, Jennie June and
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. II is likely to arouse
hurricane of tart remarks among the
literary sisterhood.

Soulless politicians in Pennsylvania sp-
propriated over half Of the fund of g., 600. :
600 contributed by the country to relieve
the distress caused by the disastrous over
flow at Johnstown about year ago. Out
of that enormous sum it is said that the
people got only 81, 225, $50, and the rest was
divided among the political sharks, under
pretext of building bridges. monuments,
parks and other public improvements-for
which the money was not contributed and
the state had no right to use it-while help
less widows and orphans were left to suffer.
If that disgraceful wrong is not righted,
the people of the country at large will be
apt to think twice before opening their
purses at the cry Of distress coming from
within the boundaries of Pennsylvania
unless some direct means of reaching the
sufferers can be devised. What is the use
of sending money to starving people if they
don't get it, III the authorities Of Pennsyl-
vania cannot be trusted not to rob charity

the reputation of their state to Immediately

insurance companies has been unearthed by
the Chronicle, an insurance jour al in New
York. 1t is nothing more or less than the
insurance of dissipated compositors, who
are willing to become, for a consideration,

gurated the scheme. 1t appears that a MAJ
named Jones has a number of agents, chief
among whom is one Cald we'll on the look
out for printers or compositors who are out
of work and nearly dead from dissipation.
When fit subject is found he is given a
Turkish bath, new suit of clothes and is
taken to some quiet country place to restore
his shattered nerves to something like a
normal condition. He is then taken to a
company's Office and when he receives his
policy he gives it to Jones, who calmly
waits for the man to die. One of the
conspirators, Reagan by name, has made an
affidavit, the Chronicle SAYS in which he
states that after brief soJourn in New
Jersey be was soon in good enough condi-
ton to take out two policies on his life, one
for So, 900 from the Mutual Life Insurance
Company. and another for 81, 500 from the
Equitable Life Assurance Society. Rea-
gan was paid $32 so and was taken before a
notary, where he signed over the policies to
Jones. 1t is said that the conspirators
sometimes receive premiums from the COM
panies for the securing Of the customers.
Though wholly destitute of principle the
scheme is not devoid of interest and evinces
no little originality. Evidently the inven-
tor is phenomsnally thrifty individual.

SALOON LICENSE LIMITS.
Petitions Against Their Extension CT
culated in Churches.

The following petition, which will be
submitted to the council this evening, was
circulated among the congregations of the
i've churches on Third street yesterday
morning and received numerous sigma
lures:
To the Common Council OF the City of Seattle
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned residents OF
the city of Seattle, earnestly protest and re-
monstrate against the extension of the saloon
limits as proposed, to include Third street from
Cherry to Pike streets
We believe that saloon is great evil In any
locality. and that If the city OF Seattle licenses
them at ALL they should be kept within restricted
limits.
We respectfully represent that Third street is
travelled largely by ladies and children, going to
and from their houses, and the business portion
of the city. the public schools and the various
churches. there being now FIVE churches near
that portion OF Third street now sought TO be
given over TO the saloon nuisance
We further represent that the present police
force is not now adequate to the proper protec-
ton of the saloon district, and that this ter
rtory would either be unprotected or the pres
ent police force, whose number is already mat
ter OF public criticism and burden, would OF
necessity be largely increased.
We believe that all the citizens of this city,
except those whose mercenary disregard OF pub
lie welfare urges this measure, are unanimous
against the proposed extension, and, therefore,
most earnestly protest and demonstrate against
the same.
