Betsy and Alice spoke to an audience
over 40 miles distant and causing the
earth to tremble way over in the city
OF Coupeville, Island county. The
Island County Times says:
Heavy, rumbling reports, accom-
panied by perceptible tremors of the
eorth itself, were heard in this vicinity
about two weeks ago Some attributed
it to earthquake shocks, while others
thought it cannonading at Esquimalt.
Last Fridays Pr. contained the true
explanation. The United States har-
Dor defense monitor Monterey was
testing her big guns, Big Betsy and
Alice the largest in the U. S. Navy, in
Port Angeles harbor, and their S25
pound projectiles were sent glancing
over the waters of the straits distance
OF nine miles. When it is considered
that these reports of single shots were
heard and felt here, distance of over
forty miles, with the distinctness of
earthquake shocks, some idea may be
gained of what the bombardment of a
city With modern artillery would be
like.

Kew Much Money?

Prof Ely, the political economist,
has this to say about money, a ques-
ton about which So much is heard
these hard times.
The question has often been asked,
How mucn money does a country
need? 1t has been replied, at makes
no difference. II the supply is album
dant, prices will he low and the same
amount Of money will go farther. A
little money will do the work of
money as well as & large supply" 1t
it true that :here is a relation between
the supply Of money and its value,
and that large supply means small
value and small supply large value,
bat the conclusion draws does not fol-
low. When the amount of money is
small barter IS always extensively
used, and this is an Inconvenience,
obstructlng trade and causing loss.
Enough money is needed so that it
can be used in all ordinary transac-
lions OF life and to enable us to
avoid too extensive employment of
barter. But one Of the most
common business transactions is
tie payment Of wages. We need
enough money so that it will not be
too valuable to use for that purpose ;
in other words, the days labor of an
ordinary laborer should not be in
ferlor to the value OF legal tender coin
which can be conveniently carried
We need, then, enough money so that
the value OF q convenient size shall
not exceed days wages OF an un-
skilled laborer. But it is desirable
that money should be stiff cheaper, so
that wages may be divided into parts.
1t Is not necessary for money to be
cheap enough to make our smallest
purchases with full legal tender money
because in addition to full legal tender
money ali countries have subsidiary
coins, like our fractional part of dol
lar containing less coin in proposition
to nominal value than full legal tender
and legal tender only for small
amount, with US ten dollars, and mi
nor coins like "nickles" and "coppers"
legal tender for still less, with us for
twenty-five cents. Silver dollars full
I'LL the conditions laid dawn, but gold
is more convenient for large payments
The two supplement each other.

Tuesdays election was Republican
landslide all over the United States,
and the Republicans carried every
Northern and We tern State. although
in Nebraska and California, their can
didates for Governor were defeated.
William L. Wilson, Bill Springer,
Llewellyn, Waite, Coxey and other
celebrities, were retired to private lie,
and the Republicans carried Breckcn
ridges district, where he and Owens
had their hot campaign for nomina-
tions, in which the nomination has
always been equivalent to election.
The South went Democratic as usual,
but with greatly reduced majorities.
In New York city, Strong, Republi-
can candidate for mayor, gets about
$4,000 majority and Tammany is
busted. Morton defeats Hill for Gov
ernor by fully 100000. The congress
sional delegation will be % republi-
cans and eleven democrats, gain Of
nine for the republicans.
In Colorado, Gov. Waite and the
Populists are defeated under 10000
republican majority. Next Legislature
will be republican and the populists
are out OF power in Colorado, and one
experience has evidently been enough.
Minnesota elected Governor Nelson
by largely increased majorities, and
the delegation is republican.
Ohio is republican by 10000 with
81 Republican congressman, with
gains everywhere.
Kansas repudiates her notorious
populist governor Llewellyn. Morrel
for governor and all republican con-
gressmen except two, are elected by
big majorities.
Pennsylvania repeats its banner re-
publican majorities of last spring,
electing Governor and congressman.
Illinois has republican majorities OF
10000 and gains more congressman.
Cook County, including the City Of
Chicago, has followed New York City,
downed its corrupt machinery, and
gone republican by about $4,000
In Michigan the Republican plu-
ralities are about 10000, and several
new congressman gained, as we'll as
Gov. Rich, republican. Fusion be-
tween democrats and populists was
spotted everywhere.
William L. Wilson, the tariff re-
former, was condemned and defeated
in his own district, at present re-
turns, and in Kentucky, the republi-
cans carry Breckenridge's own dis
trict defeating Owens.
Indiana will give Owens republican
governor. nearly $4,000 majority, and
elect thirteen congressman.
Wyoming elects state ticket and
legislature, insuring two protection
senators.
The South is solid as usual, and
Louisiana fails to elect the Republi-
can congressman from the sugar dis
tricts, and other Southern States give
majorities, though decreased.
Connecticut all republican, and
Massachusetts enormously SO. Also
Wisconsin, North Dakota. New JERSEY
Iowa, Delaware, Oklahoma and South
Dakota.
Missouri is very close, but favor of
democrats. Utah claimed by both.
New Mexico, divided.
Republican gains in North Carolina
and Tennessee. Populists gains in on
ly one state, Texas. Everywhere else
they are badly routed. Democrats
have South Carolina, Alabama. Missis-
slppi and Georgia.
And Washington completes the list
OF great republican victories. Every
where was reform, and Tammanv. the
curse OF the entire country, with it's
power In every large city. is badly de-
feated.

from New Jersey was opposed to two

reach some mutual agreement for the
consideration of his resolution, declar-
ing: That from the facts and papers
lad before the senate by the executive
and other sources it is unwise and mex

character ana dignity of the United
States to consider further the annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian territory 10 this
country"
Mr.. Dolph, however, blocked this
purpose. announcing that he, for one,
was not ready to come to any agreement
in regard to the resolution.
This being disposed of, Mr.. George,in
accordance with the notice he gave
few days ago, addressed the senate Oh
the legal aspects of the Hawaiian affair.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Georges
speech the senate passed bill author

A bill for the relief of the owners and

ST. LOUIS. March 2O.-It is learned
here from high, railroad source that
one of the most gigantic consultations
of railroad interests within the past
decade is on the tapis. 1t is nothing

the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway.
In brief the scheme as now pending is
the union of the Chesapeake IL Ohio
railway, a Vanderbilt property running
from New York via Washington ami
Ba ltlmore to Cincinnati. with the Big
Four, another Vanderbilt property.
which will be used to st. Louis, and
from st. Louis to Galveston, the Mis-
Siouri, Kansas & Texas, a Standard Oil
property. This would give the Wander
bits a line direct from Galveston

Mir. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil mag
nate, and representatives. of the Van
derbilt interests are ell route here, and
