Free Coinage of sIiverat an Increased Ratio

free tonnage OF ~i.NcrAt an Increased lstilo
Suggested as a Compromise Measure.
United States Senator George c.. Vest,
of Missouri in conversation regarding
national finances, says:
"The sherman silver law cannot be re-
pealed without some legislation prOyid-
iug Tor the coinage OF siivcr nor can
free coinage bill on the present ratio of
sixteen TO one become a law. The Presl-
dent would veto such a measure. and
there are not enough votes I'm either branch
Of Congress 10 pass It over his veto.
These TWO PROPOSITIONS are as correct as
amy event in the future can ever bee.
EFT is evident. Therefore. that some COM
promise must be effected between the
radically diverse opinion on the silver
question and what that compromise shall
be is the practical inquiry. Three plans
are suggested: First, 90 repeal ,he Sher-
man law and re-enact the Bland-Allison
law. which provided for the coinage Of
not less than s2gW.0J uor more than
yiJ0u0O OF silver each month. Second.
90 coin the 100000 tons Of pig silver pur-
chased under the provisions of the Sher-
man act. Third. 90 change the ratio be-
tween gold and silver ANA give the latter
metal free coinage at the new ratio.
"a prominent free coinage advocate
told ne recently that be- had prepared
"a bin. which he proposes 20 introduce az
the next session of Congress, liking the
ratio between the metals at twenty
ounces of silver 20 one OF gold and giving
free and unlimited coinase.
'The present legal ratio is sixteen 20
one. while the commercial ratio is a little
over tWenty-tour 20 one. and it is ass
summed that free coinage al the ratio pro-
passed would enhance the value I'll silver
So as 90 bring about a parity, notwith-
standing the difference of four ounces be-
tween the legal ratio OF twenty 20 one
and the commercial ratio OF twenty
four 10 one.
This bill will be bitterly fought by the
senators and representatives. from the sill
reproducing States. but some such
measure Will De adopted. The Sherman
law was q great biunder-aimost crime

The many fearful tragedies which have
recently been committed and designated
as lynchinss are sufficient TO make all
good citizens pause and consider what
steps should be taken for their suppress
sion. These killings are stigma upon
the Southern people, and so long as the
law abiding. which greatly ounumber the
lawless, quietly permit them without any
effort at putting stop 10 them. that
stigma is deserved. The Augusta (Ga)
Chronicle well says that "the trouble is
not so much that the law-abiding are out
numbered. as that they are not sufficiently
united and determined. From this failure

The Big Store scores constant
successes while the cry of dull
times is rampant. Know why?
It's the way we buy goods and sell
goods-there can't be any other
reason. We've made ready for
phenomenal selling by unprece-
denied buying, and results are graft
fying-at least in the volume Of
business. Profits are doubly shared.
The big selling, which even We'd

under the normal, make REM
NANTS thick and fast.
They're yours on Fridays at
prices that make business intense;
interesting. Last Friday was the
greatest day Of this year-for regu-
lar selling is not interrupted by the

offerings will join hands to make
the selling still greater. Plenty of
Saies-people; 50 no tedious waits.

ARRIVAL OF THE COLONIAL

Barkentine Klikitat For Puget Sound
British Bark Velocity For

The Canadian Australian Liner War
rimoo, Commander Arthur, arrived at
one o'clock this afternoon, IL days
from Brisbane and docked at Pacific
Mail wharf The Commander reports
strong northeast winds and heavy seas
and squalIy weather, and on board
cargo of horses and general merchan-
disc. The Warrimoo takes on big
lot of island fruit in crates and pack
ages this afternoon and leaves at 9
O'Clock tonight for Victoria.
The four masted schooner Alice
Cooke is now over thirty days out from
Puget Sound with lumber for Levers e.
Cooke. No fears are entertained for
her safety, as she is good sai)er, and
with the big cargo of lumber she carries
she could not sink. All the. same, the
Alice Cooke is due and probably has
good reasons for the long voyage she
has taken.
The wrecking party, who went to
rescue the Waimanalo telephoned at
eleven O'Clock this morning that the
steamer was off the rocks and in seven
fathoms of water. Inquiries are being
made by them as to getting tow into
the harbor, and the chances are the
Waimanalo will be here tomorrow
somewhat worse for wear and tear.
The bark Velocity sailed this after.
noon for Hongkong with full steerage
of Chinese passengers and a small
cargo of old iron and junk, The
customs guards now breathe easier as
the ceaseiess watch that has been kept
over this vessel has caused them tC
work hard.
The bark Albert came down off the
marine railway this morning and will
commence loading sugar for the Coast
tomorrow. She has received genera

There are only five vessels in port, bu
large number are due, and when they
begin to arrive there will be busy

now due for island ports.
The barkentine Klikitat left at moor
to-day empty for Puget Sound, where
she will load another cargo of North
west lumber for this port.

NOT SPOILS BUT JUSTICE.

EDITOR STAR: The familiar motto,
''to the victors belong the spoils," is
commonly regarded as embodying and
expressing in condensed form all that is
most dangerous and most vicious in
party methods and political morals
Stated in this way, the proposition is
certainly open enough to criticism.
Public office and government patron
age are not in any proper sense "spoils, "
ard should not be so regarded or
spoken of. This, any fair minded man
is ready enough to admit at all times.
"Spoils" means "plunder," something
dishonesty or improperly obtained,
either by force or fraud, and we are
not dealing nor proposing TO deal with
anything of that kind. A great deal in
this world depends, however, upon the
way of putting things. The mass OF
manhood neither think deeply noI
reason closely. They are led captive
by words and phrases to an extent
which does very little credit to theil
judgment or insight. Consequently
the careless or malicious use Of
this word "spoils" in this con
nection has produced an amount
of loose thinking as well as
loose talking and writing which is al
once exasperating and ridiculous. TAX
ing, then, the proposition advanced by
the STAR, eliminating the idea o
"spoils," which is irrelevant and i'm
pertinent, and can only serve to confuse
the real issue, and stating the matter ii
another way, we shall find the proposed
course eminently reasonable,-Jus ant
polite. 1t may be put, for instance
thus: "A set of men or a party, re
sponsible for the difficult and dellcat,
task of carrying on government, par
