waking Up a stupid Party.

Once upon "a time, says the New York
Evening Sun, the Clever Girl and Young
Apropos found themselves at a very stu
pid evening party. After several minutes
of boredom the Clever Girl grew desperate.
Il tell you what let's do" she said; you
take one side of the room and I'll take the
other and We'll each see how many per
sons we can engage in conversation upon
certain topic without in any way appear
ing to drag in the topic" IAN right" said
Young Apropos; but what shall the topic
be?' "Cockroaches, said the Clever Girl
Straightway they separated, and, she 90
ing on one side of tho room and he on the
other they talked to as many persons as
possible on cockroaches. Just before leave
taking time they met, and both agreed that
never had they had more delightful even

with mother. the latter remarked: ''Oh.
by the way, Clara, do you happen to know
If we are troubled with ah-vermin-or-ah
-cockroaches-Or anything of that sort?''
mo, mamma, why do you ask?'' Innocent
ly inquired the Clever Girl. "Oh, nothing"

Lacking An BoIIer Power.

The English are beginning 20 find out
that in building their warships they have
made great mistake-the mistake consist
ing in not providing them with sufficient
boiler power. The consequence is that their
battle ships and commerce destroyers arc
inferior in the matter OF speed TO those OF
some OF the other European nations. and
very much inferior to the vessels Of the
new American navy.
An article has just been published in the
London Engineering" written by some
one well acquainted with the subject OF
which he treats. in which he points out the
defect Of the English war vessels. name
ly. the lack Of sufficient boiler power. He
declares that the defect is almost wholly
due TO the fact that the English navy has
never accorded to steam and steam en-
cheering the places warranted by their i'm
portance." For some unaccountable reason
the engineer and his machinery are con-
sidered to be only secondary adjuncts. A
lot of sdmirals who know nothing about
ship and engine building determine the de-
signs for the warshiDs. and they consider
comfortable quarters for officers of more
Importance than plenty Of room for boilers
and machinery The lack Of boiler power
therefore. is largely due to the want of
space for boilers. The consequence is that
the English war vessels are deficient in
speed and in capacity to run at their great
est speed for any considerable length of
time
In the construction of the new American
navy the greatest attention has been Civ
en- to boiler power. THE vessels are con-
structed under the direction of one man,
who is an engineer. and they are the fast
est vessels OF their kind in the world. The
Columbia and Minneapolis particularly
have no equals in the matter OF speed. and
they are capable of being run at a high
rate of speed for a long time.
OF course the vessel that has the speed
has a great advantage in a naval engage
ment. She can run away from her antago-
mist if she finds it to her advantage to do
so, or she can run all around the enemy
striking her as she pleases and making it
extremely difficult for her enemy to hit
her. The advantage of a swift and well
handled ship in an engagement was dem
onstrated in the war between Japan and
China. The Japanese vessels darted hither
and thither at viii pounding the Chinese
ships as they pleased. The Chinese SEEM
ed dazed. Their ships were either not swift
or not well handled, and the contest was
against them almost from the start. If the
English critic is correct the English war
ships would be at a great disadvantage in
an engagement at sea with the swift ships
of the American navy.

History Repcnttnr It.eIf.

The agitation for the free coinage Of sill.
yer gets more than half its strength
from the desire for an Increase in the
volume Of the currency. There is a wide
spread belief that we should have ex-
tremely prosperous times II we had more
money In circulation. Those who are in
debt or who have schemes In view for in
ves,ing money believe they could get all
the money they want II it were only more
abundant. They do not take into consid-
Grafton the fact that II the volume Of the
currency were increased they would have
TO have something to sell TO get it OF ac-
ceptable collateral as security for It.
II they would only be honest with them
selves they would admit that they have
neither anything to sell nor acceptable
collateral, nor would they have II the vol
ume Of the currency were twice as great
as it is. If they had either now they would
have no difficulty in getting money be-
cause money is very plentiful, and is Of
fered at extremely low rates Of interests
upon approved security. An increase Of
the currency beyond the demand for it
would help nobody. The money would
remain in the banks because the owners
of it would not lend it, except to those
who could give good security for it.
We are having exactly the same kind OF
experience in respect to money that We
had Immediately after the panic OF 1873
Then there were hard times and the peo-
pie demanded a great increase in the vol
ume Of the currency. The leaders OF the
agitation said good times would never
return until we had more money. They
We're mistaken, of course. The volume
of the currency was not increased be-
cause there was no good reason for in
creasing 1t, but good times returned, and
very prosperous times they were-as pros
porous as the country had ever known.
Immediately after the panic of 1898 the
agitation for more money began. 1t took
the shape of a demand for the free COIN
age of silver. and it has been helped
along by politicians who have been led to
believe that they could make it the means
of lettering their political fortunes. II
has also been greatly aided by men who
have selfish interests to advance. The
silver coinage does not mean more money
and lower rates of interest, but that it does
mean the debasement of the currency. the
contraction Of the volume of money in use
and financial disaster and ruin. They viii
also realize. ass the agitation goes on. that
there is plenty of money for all the legiti-
mate needs of the people and that what
is needed to bring back as prosperous
times as we had few years ago is conf
dence in the colIntry's future.
No doubt THE silverites will win some
victories, but they will be barren ones
Before the campaign of 1886 is fairly be-
gun the people will so far understand the
silver question that there will be little or
no danger to lbe apprehended from the
free silver craze.

A New York court has before it a some
what queer case, involving the rights of
dogs. The plaintiff is a person who was
bitten by the dog in the case. The defen-
dant, the owner of the dog, argues through
counsel that the dog had a right to con-
duct himself as he did; that is, to stand
with all of his legs on his masters prem
ises and project his head through hole
in the fence and bite whomsoever might
come within reach. The plaintiff, on the
other hand, shows that in so far as the
action at issue is concerned, the head of
the dog is all of the dog that is in the
question at all. 1t makes no difference
where the hind legs and the tail were. as
neither of them bit him. The offense of
biting was committed by the dogs mouth.

much as the head of the dog was projected

More Money.
From the Raltimore sun.

At the bottom of the free coinage cru
SADIE is the idea that more money" is
wanted. Back of that is the idea that If
there is more money ii will be easier to
get. Being easier TO get everybody will
get more and prosperity will abound. The
silver craze is repetition of the green
back imitation craze that followed the
panic of 1873. But the general prosperity
that followed the resumption of specie
payments in 1879 killed the greenback cry,
and the present growing prosperity of the
country after the panic of 1898 will ulti-
People do not cry unless they are hurt

lief comes they revert to competent adj

a Great Scheme.

Mr.. James ]. Hill, the president of the
Great Northern railway, is the originator
and promoter of a scheme for the benefit
of the wheat growers. Mr.. Hill is a man
of extraordinary ability. The Great
Northern railway is one of the great rail-
ways of the world. and It was built by Mr..
HILL 1t runs directly through the wheat
growing section of the west. 1t begins at
Minneapolis and ends at Seattle, on the
Pacific coast.
Mr.. Hill thinks he can double the demand
for American wheat His plan is to induce
the Chinese to eat bread instead of rice.
He thinks If American flour could be fur
nished TO them at price that would jus
tify them in uslngsit instead of rice. They
would buy our flour and sell their rice.
He has a splendid fleet of steamers run
ming between Seattle and Chinese ports,
and he purposes making the freight on
flour and rice so low that it would be pos
sible to sell flour in China at very small
advance on its price in this country.
1t is apparent, however, that Mr.. Hill is
not likely to meet with immediate success
in carrying into effect his scheme. While
the Chinese might like to have wheat
bread once in a while for a change, there
is no reason why they would prefer it to
rice. They have been accustomed to rice
for thousands of years. 1t is their chief
crop and they are not likely to discrimi-
nate against it unless it can be made pro-
fitable for them to do so.
1t is not probable that the consumption
of rice in this country could be increased
very greatly unless the price were greatly
reduced, and the price will hardly be re-
duced as long as our rice planters demand
a rice tariff for protection. The European
demand for rice is not likely to be greatly
increased. We do not see, therefore. how
Mr.. Hill can make a success of his scheme.
because, unless the Chinese can sell their
rice they cannot buy any considerable
quantity of our wheat.
However, he is a long-headed business
man and must have given his scheme a
good deal of thought before making it pub
lie. There may be features of it that he
has not disclosed. The wheat growers
will watch his attempt to put it into prac-
teal operation. He would render this
country great service if he should sue
coed in creating a demand for double the
amount of wheat now grown in this coun-
try.
