In that case, when. as the Tribune puts
1t, the nation. imreIled by an .'overshad-

with risk Of their depreciation" and had
so issued them to preserve the country's

Twenty years ago, through the columns
of Ha,pcy's Magazine, in a sketch of "Bol-
ivar, Liberator OF South America" Eugene
Lawrence used the following language.
which is quite worthy of reproduction in
these days of Pan-American discussion:
That the hero of South American freedom is
not better known among US is due to the strange
want of interest which we have ever shown
toward the history and condition OF our repub-
lcan neighbors in the Southern Seas Our msr-
chants and our statesmen have turned eoldly
away from the allurement OF their growing com.
merce. their progressive freedom. England and
France have been allowed to engross three
fourths of their ganful trade. They have been
shut out from the useful influence Of our free
press and our liberal literature. They enfran-
ehissd their slaves at an early period. and were
never popular with the parry that controlled
our government But 1t may be hoped that the
time is near when the rich commerce of
South America will be turned from London and
Havre TO San Francisco and New York, and
when, by rapid INSTRUMENTATION. the prac-
teal experience we have gained in liberal pro-
gress may prove of infinite use to the republics
founded by Bo ivar.

THE CENSUS FARCE.

fit is not too late. the Chamber of Com
merce should take some action looking to
a remuneration of Seattle. Portland is
having a full revision and Tacoma a par
tial one. The figures printed today are pre-
sented by the PosT-INTELLIGEN-
GER not so much to show the
thoroughness of our newsgatherers as to
clinch the statements that this paper has
repeatedly made concerning the census.
The business men have seemed to think
that things would take care of themselves;
though they were not counted they thought
their neighbors were. and so they were
satisfied.
The injury that will result to Seattle from
permitting the shabby enumeration to be
stamped as official without this city's
protest can not be overestimated.
Shall the world for ten years to
come accept the lying words of
this federal census as an authentic record ?
There should be immediate and indignant
protest, at least.

tel thing for the man who has always claimed
that he was leading tbs forces which were an
tagonistic to the government of the United
States. The degradation of this blatant blather-
skite and the entire disappearance from view Of
such man as Schwab among the Germans and
O'Donoyan Rosa among the Irishmen is proof
ofthe wisdom and sagacity of the police, and
the attitude which they have ali along
tsken concerning these so-called So
cialists Inspector Byrnes in the course
of a long talk that I had with him during q
journey which We took together some years
ago, explained to me the position which he
would take concerning socialists and anarchists
who were just then beginning to create more or
less of an uprosr in labor circles. His claim
was that as coon as the authorities noticed these
agitators they committed the first and most i'm
portsnt mistake. he said that the Chicago
police were making martyrs of beer drinking
nobodies by endeavoring to suppress them. An
attack by the police on an unknown anarchist
made that particular man hosts of friends who
would follow his lead out of sympathy alone
When Most and the rest of his frowsy crew of
unwashed agitators began to shrek defiance
to the government hold midnight drills in
East Side cellars and delivered blood
thirsty speeches against the persecution to
which they were subjected, the police sat idly
by ard paid no attention to them whatever
Whenever an anarchist broke the law in such a
sharp and decisive way that II was plain to
everybody that his arrest was the result of legal
wrong doing and not on account of any opinions

past seven or eight years by the police of New
York city.

A pREPosTEEoUs PLEA.

A lively controversy is in progress
through the columns of some Eastern
newspapers in regard to the republication
by Funk Il Wagnalls of the Encyclopedia
britannica. which has been accomplished
by the photogravure process. The acr OF
republication has been denounced as "a
theft" and much has been made OF the
fact that one of the alleged culprits, DR..
Funk, is Doctor of Divinity.
Lawyers have addressed the public
through the press quite freely in reference
to the matter. and one of these-M. z.
Tyner, of Saratoga Springs, New York-sets
up the extraordinary plea that not only can
the original publishers recover for wrongful
conversion, but also that every subscriber
for their work can recover damages for any
reduction the reprint may cause in the
value of his copy of the original work.
The absurdity of this proposition be-
comes apparent on reflection that philan-
.hropic or public spirited citizens might
purchase and gratuitously distribute an in
definite number of copies of the original
publication. If the sale OF cheaper edi-
ton can be held to depreciate the value of
the original work in the hands of subscrib-
ers, certainly such depreciation would be
much heavier if the original work were dis
tributed as free gift as above suggested.
And yet nobody will pretend that there
could be any legal bar to the purchase and
free distribution.
1t is preposterous, however, to claim that
the value of the books in one mans library
is affected by the price at which another
purchases inferior books, or that it concerns
the owner of q library whether his neigh
Dor has purchased originals or reprints. or
has had his books given to him or sold to
him at discount.

The jester sang In the banquet hall,
His WIT obeyed no bride;
He rallied at all both great and small,
The rich. the poor, the idle.
And mirth at every merry joke
Rang out from floor TO raiter:
1t matlered not whate'er he spoke,
They answered all with laughterl
Fla hs, no no!

They've never care who motley wear,
And don the cap and bells!
He preached q sermon true and wise,
They only thought he jested:
They laughed, and with their streaming eyes
The witty quip attested.
Perchance his heart had felt DESPAIR,
But how were they to know it?
They only saw the motley there,
They never read below 1t.
The years passed by, the Fool lay dead,
His laughter stilled forever:
ale was the king Of all" they said,
I'VE thsli find his eQusl never"
But hid away, they found one day,
A jest that silent made them
A g,ove-a fiower-a tress of hair
Upon his heart they laid them!
Ha ha, no hoi

They've never q care who motley wear,
And don the cap and bells!

MORALS AND MONEY.

The above is the caption to an article in
the New York Tribune of June %, which
presents the ultra Wall street idea of the
money question, backed by an ingenious
plea that public morality is at stake and
must be forfeited by any interference with
the single gold standard With owlish
solemnity the commandment, Thou
shalt not steal" is invoked as applicable to
the pending effort for the restoration of
silver to Its former and just position as
legal tender money.
The Tribune charges that "the moral
aspect" OF the money question sis scarcely
ever remembered" to which, of course.
there was a mental reservation in behalf of
the denizens of Wall street; and adds that
there has grown up half generation of
voters who have got to learn the require
ments OF moral obligation in connection
with financial issues" which cannot but
be regarded as broad, sweeping and pre-
sumptuous arraignment of the young men
upon whom must depend the future in
tegrity and prosperity of the country.
But this language is used in reference to
policy which is supported by such men
as Stanford of California. Dolph and
Mitchell of Oregon, Jones and Stewart of
Nevada, Squire and Allen of Washington.
Teller and Wolcott of Colorado. Saunders
and Power of Montana, Eyarts of the
7yibstRe's own state, and many other dis.
tngulshed statesmen, who do not belong
10 younger generation and have not been
considered open TO the charge of moral
ohliquity nor of imhecility on questions of
finance.
THE error of these people," saws the
Tribune, lis in surprising that a nation
ever has the right to do dishonest thing.
for the sake of giving one set of its citizens
an advantage over another SET" No such
error has been committed. No such
course has been contemplated or desired.
No set of citizens will be accorded any
privileges from which any others will be
debarred in the use OF the silver coin or silver
certificates proposed to be issued. There
is an ahiect begging OF the question in the
assumption that to recognize silver, and to
confer upon il its full function as honest
money is TO do dishonest thing"
But in the course OF its argument the
Tribune has drawn largely upon greenback
history and the resumption of specie pay
ments in connection Herewith. In tina,
connection the great New York journal
can see nothing but a iaudab:e recognition
of moral obligation and national
honor" On that point the patriotism and
sound sense OF the country viii agree with
it. And yet il is an undeniable fact tina,
this vindication OF the national honor was
not accomplished. and was impossible oil
accomplishment without giving to one
