ATLANTA Constitution: A New York
newspaper, which has been untiring in
its efforts to crush labor and its products
by establishing the gold standard, now
argues that each state should have a
standing army in the shape of state po-
lice ''for the preservation of order and
the protection of prosperity"
This is hint of the conditions that
will follow the new financial policy of
our money kings, if the gold standard is
to become fixture.
A quarter of century ago, when we
had large volume of currency and the
masses were prosperous and contented,
there was no demand for standing armies
The sheriffs and their posses, aud the po-
lice of the cities and towns were able to
meet any emergency.
But the distress brought upon the
people by the policy of contraction has
reduced millions of toiIers from comfort
and contentment almost to the European
level of poverty and misery. and it is
natural that there should be loud COM
plants and emphatic protests from the
victims.
The policy of force is no remedy for
our present evils. Justice is the only
cure. With just financial system and
just taxation there will be no need for
standing armies. The way to make this
peaceful and happy country is not to
send soldiers with Winchester rifles
marching through the land That
method would only create disorder The
wiser, better plan would be to return to
the financial system under which there
was so much general prosperity that
people were too busy and too happy to
be tempted into strife and anarchy.

U. S. MARSHAL Nicely is malicious in
mis- remarks concerning the Sanders
Coxeyites- Ten thousand Topeka peo-
pie visited the Sanders camp while the
"army" was located in Topeka, and they
certainly do not regard the men as
''scoundrels, scamps and vagabonds'' or
anything of the sort The men are mere
Iy workin9men, no worse, no better than
any other crowd of 300 workingmen.
While their selling of Missouri Pacific
train Is indefensible, it is probably no
worse than any other body of men out of
work and with no means of getting out of a
country already overburdened with hun
CRY people, would have done. While it
is Marshal Neely's duty to see that the
men are punished it is not incumbent
upon him to SANDER them and call them
scoundrels and scamps. The people do
not believe that they are.

At his request his name was excluded
from the passenger list, and every effort
was made to conceal his identity. He
declined to even meet any newspaper

prejudice his case by any published
utterance.
During the trip he discussed the mat

things which have not been made pu bile.
He stated that three hours before be fell

They passed the Kow Shing in plain
view. but did not stop to warn her OF
danger. They may not have known
what che was. but the troops crowded
her decks, and it was cowsrdly if they
recognized her and still went on.
When he desired to obey the COM
mands from the Japanese warship,
knowing what utter folly it was to resist,
the Chinese troops placed guard at the
companionway OF the bridge. They had
their swords drawn, and their orders
were to cut him down if ne attempted to
leave.
The first torpedo thrown at the Kow
Shing went wide Of it's mark and then
came the broadside. Galesworthy, with
others, put on life belt and sprang into

Ordnance Ofticers Interested In the Yalu
Naval Battle.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Few OF the
ordnance officers OF the navy depart.
ment are disposed to accept the recent
engagement between Japanese and
Chinese fleets at the mouth OF the Yalu
river as denomination Of the
superiority of feet unarmored cruisers
over heavily protected, but moderate
speed bsttleships. This is natural, in
view of the fact that for many years the
officers in this branch OF the service
have devoted their ingenuity to the de-
velopment OF the passively resistant
quality of ships. holding that design
best which should carry the heaviest
armor. Thus they created the battle-
ship, and now they stand prepared to de-
fend her. One OF the most distinguished
ordnance officers, in his record of work
accomplished, man who had much to
do with designing the guns and armors
OF our modern ships, speaking upon the
subject of the Yalu fight. today, was in
clined to be skeptical as to the defeat OF
the Chinese battleships. Said he:
"We are etill in the dark as to the de-
te.ia OF the battle, but will venture the
assertion that aot one OF the Chinese
bastleships was seriously injured, and
that their loss was confined to cruissra,
or only partially protected vessels. And
even the best of the Chinese battleships
are not frst-class vessels. The Chen
Yuen is q eecond-rate ship about like
Main or Texas. But as it was, there is
only one reason, though that is very
good one, why the battleship did not
speedily destroy all OF the Japanese
fleet and that reason is the immense
snperiorlty of the Japanese personnel
The Japanese themselves fully un-
derstand the value Of battleships and
have made efforts to purchase some.
