THE TEACHERS CONVENTION,

1t is not true by any means that Seattle
has lost the fight in the matter of the next
meeting of the National Teachers Asso-
citation. The declaration in favor of
Helena, Mont, was q mere preliminary
expression and not a definite and settled
choice. Last year there was just such an
expression in favor of Chicago, but subse-
quent action gave the convention of 1891
not to Chicago but to Toronto; and there
is good reason to hope that the experience
of last year will be repeated with the adj
vantage to Seattle. There were twenty-six
votes cast in the committee meeting on
first ballot, the result being: for Helena,
II; for Seattle, IL; for Saratoga, n. Y, 3.
Upon subsequent ballots Saratoga gained
slightly, while Helena still led Seattle by
a vote or two. At this juncture the Seattle
forces Joined the Helena men, and so the
day was won for the West. But this did
not settle it. The matter of the final
selection was left to a committee who will
visit both Seattle and Helena. This COM
mittee is as follows: r. N. Stephenson,
Wichita, Kansas; J. w. Greenwood, Kan
sas City; N. M. Gannett, Nashville.
and n. A. Calkins, New York. II after
looking over the situation at Helena and
Seattle, considering the comparative in
terests of the two places, the choice Is
for Helena, we shell be greatly surprised.

q great war which said to the nation, at
is your money or your life.
The nation obtained its money and
saved its life. 1t was most expensive
and costly way to raise money; 1t was
probably unconstitutional: but it was
probably necessary in order to get money
at once in order to organize, equip and
set in motion the vast armies of the Union
We paid an enormous shave for our
money, but We did so without . murmur,
regarding it as included among the other
enormous sacrifices of the rights, privi-
leges. comforts and equities of peace that
every nation has to submit to and does
submit to with cheerful patriotism when
it is fighting for existence; we did without
clear constitutional warrant what every
great people have done in desperate straits.
We did what Frederick the Great did when
he was driven by the desperation of war to
debase the coinage, which was only
another expression for such forced loan
from the people as we extorted by max
ing our government paper legal tender.
1t was fight for life and the people, out
side the copperheads who questioned the
right of coercion down to the draft and
the income tax, never grumbled. The peo-
pie suffered, but if 1t was wise to force
popular loan at once and make the saliva
ton Of the nation certainty, then We did
not pay too much.
The legal tender act should have expired
with the desperate necessity for its doubt
full constitutional employment but
the worst and most far-reaching evil
consequences of this financial war
measure is that the memory and
example and experience of that flush
time when there was plenty of cheap
money in the land makes ill-informed and
unthinking men anxious to repeat that
day of inflated paper currency, compelled
by the extraordinary event of war, and per-
petuate it as q sane policy for peace and
a foundation for national prosperity.
The greenback was the worst and
most pernicious inheritance of the
war; for it made cheap men familiar with
cheap currency and plenty of it, and they
have been bowling and begging for fat
money of some sort ever since. These
persons reason like the man who, finding
one or two glasses of wine does him no
harm, straightway drinks fifty, with the
result of intoxication and followed by
headache and depression. So the green
hacker and cheap currency man reasons:
"The more cheap dollars the better"
which is just as false as the presumption
the more wine the merrier
In fact cheap money and plenty of it
ends in financial intoxication, depress-
ion and disaster, just as cheap whisky
and plenty of it means that decent merri-
ment will drift into inebriety, followed
by depression and misery. More wine be-
yond certain point doesn't mean merri-
ment, 1t means melancholy; and cheap
money, whether paper or silver, issued
without limit, does not mean prosperity.
1t means bankruptcy, poverty. misery and
business paralysis for the workingman.

THE PAY OF THE MILITIA.

The Tacoma Ledger takes a broad and
sensible view of the question which has
been raised as to the expenses of the recent
militia campaign in this county. 1t says:
Somebody is pling up wrath against the day
of judgment in the matter of paying the militia
boys for the service they lately rendered at the
King county mines. A bubble is made that
they were not called out in due form. 1t is not
denied that the occasion sufficient TO justify
the call, or that they responded satisfactorily
aud rendered very excellent service 1t is not
denied that the governor had the authority to
issue the call, or that he did issue the call. He
simply omitted some wave OF the hand, or some
other formality prescribed by the etiquette, or
by the statute, or by the almanac and now this
fact is being used to defraud the soldiers OF their
pay. The governor IL reported 10 be willing to
take advantage of his In the interest of the
state treasury, and now long discussion is on rs
TO whether the militia shall look for their pay
90 King county, In which the service was rem
dered, or 10 the Oregon Improvement Company,
whose property, with that OF the miners, they
protected.
To bubble in this way 10 to maintain that our
militia is q Hessian organization that may be
hired and to anybody who viii pay for its SER
vices. Ii must also tend to destroy the efficiency
Of the force, because If question of this
kind can be raised, and especially II the
men are 20 be sent from pillar to post
In search OF what they have earned they
may in future take 10 upon themselves
to question the authority of call for their ser
vices, and to wait, IN case OF emergency, until
security Is given in due form for their eompen-
sation. They would be entirely justified in tax
Ing such a course More than that, they would
be quite justified in refusing 10 serve As a hired
HessiSn force for any corporation, county or in
diYiduaL Does the state want 10 maintain q
militia organization that must be bargainsd
with before IL will render servicef We do not
think IL does, and We do not think IL will an
prove the course OF state officials who want 10
force il to make its own collections alter service
IL rendered.
We are in favor OF protecting the state treasury
against any sort of an unjust raid upon it But
We are not in favor of repndiatlng any lust
claim upon 1t. especially claim of this kind.
This covers the common-sense of the sit
uation perfectly, and it is of especial inter-
est coming as it does from 4 disinterested
source, certainly not prejudiced in the in
terest of King county.
