SENATOR SQUIRE'S BILL.
iis Time iimit Tor Completion En-
ttrcty Too Extended.


New York Nal and Express: The
question of coast defense is squsrely be-
fore the United States senate, in q bill
introduced by Senator Squire, of Wash
ington, for appropriating $S7 ,0O0, 900, to
be expended under the direction OF the
secretary OF war, in carrying out the re-
commedations OF the board OF fortifica-
tions in fortiiying ~ sea aud lake ports,
in addition to those of Puget sound. 1t is
proposed to make IL 500 900 available on
July next, $500 900 a year later, and
after. This would spread the total ex-
penditure over a period of twelve years.
We doubt the necessity for this time, as
futher appropriations will certainly be
called for to complete an adequate system
OF defense.
II the purpose OF making only 81 $780,
coo available next July is political one,
based upon the certainty of a change OF
administration in the following spring, 1t
mistake. The que stion of coast de-
tense has been forced beyond party feel
ing, and it's satisfactory and early solu-
ton is demanded by the people without
political distinction. The plan OF defense
devised in 1886 contemplated an expendi-
ture OF $07, 1872 800 by the end OF the pres
ent year, yet only $l0,6Sl 900 has been
actually appropriated and expended, or an
average OF less than 81 500 900 annually.
At this rate, as Secretary Lamont pointed
out in his annual report, it would take 20
years to complete our defense, which
might, he contends, have been completed
by December 81 next with proper distri-
button OF money and time.
We doubt whether such an undertaking
as this could have been properly super
vised and finished in the nine years since
| 1856; bnt with one-tenth of the sum orig
nally contemplated already used in
ornaments and emplacements, there
should be no reason for consuming IL
years more in completing the task salts
iactoriy. Ten should be ample, and the
present bill, or any similar adopted,
should be so amended as to make avail
able larger sum next year, and thus cut
| down the time limitation. Let US eimi-
nate politics from the defense OF our
country, and seek only the most rapid
and thorough achievement possible in the
shortest space of time. Only by this
course can We properly protect billions oil
dollars in property, give force to our di,
plomacy abroad, and complete the efficacy
| of our new navy.

FASHIONS III PATENT MEDICINES.
Druggist Tells OF Some OF the Tricks
of the Trade.

New York World: "a new patent
medicine" said druggist, like a new
paper, is hard to get on market, and the
tricks resorted to by the promoters would
fill volume. As general thing il does
not pay US to handle a nes article, no
matter how favorable the inducements
offered, for there are already enough in
the market with a certain sale to stock
he average drug store.
There is druggist 10 Newark who
makes specially of patent medicines.
He claims to keep in stock everything
that is put up, and bis cellar contains
5000 worth of stuff, Rueh OF which will
never be called upon by his customers
Still, on account OF the immense profit,
he finds it pays, aud many other druggis is
would follow him ii they bad the capital
and the room TO spare.
AT present the craze runs to proprie-
tary medicines. These differ from patent
medicines, as they profess to be a specific
for one certain disease, and have the
formula plainly printed on the wrapper
The owners of the proprietary medici mes
look to the medical profession for their
| customers. As soon as a new one is
brought out, sample bottles are sent TO
even the most obscure doctors, and glib
talker goes around to expatiate upon it's
virtues. | fancy money often talks In
this business quite as efectualy as the
agent, and many patients have stuff re-
commended by their physicians which
has never been put TO the test. By this
method OF introduction many medicines
get to have profitable sale that are little
known, and the names OF which are never
seen upon the rooitops or along the high
WAYS
AS for tricks resorted to to induce a
druggist to lay in a stock of new prepar-
| alton, the one most generally employed
is to have agents in the guise Of customers
visit the drug stores. These agents, who
are of both sexes, pretend to be surprised
when you haven't what they ask for in
stock. Sometimes dozen of them will
visi. you in the course Of single day, and
the unsuspecting druggist is apt to think
that he is not up to date, and will laY in
lot OF unstable stuff. have been
caught that way myself, and now | never
fill an order for a new preparation unless
| am sure it is for legitimate customer"

GREENBACK HISTORY.
Times. The Government Balls
Always Acceptable.

"An eastern contemporary" says the
San Francisco Bulletin argues that as the
United States got along from 1879 to 1862
without greenbacks, it ought to be able
to get along without them in the future.
The same line of argument would throw
modern passenger travel over to stage
coaches and the transportation of freight
TO mule teams. People lived under those
conditions, but there are comparatively
few who want to return to them. Before
the first issue of greenbacks we had a
currency issued by state banks subject to
the laws of the state authorizing the is
sue. 1t can hardly be said that any OF
this currency was good in the sense ia
which greenbaeks are good Coin was
almost an unknown thing outside the Pa
eific coast A man travelling FROM east
To west had TO change his currency at the
state lines. There were few banks so
well known that their bills were good
more than a hundred miles from home.
The first greenbaeks were issued under
the acts OF February 20 and July IL. 1852,
and under the act of March IL, 1868. All
The issues were convertible into $50 in

Among religious theachersthe mission
aries are the most Inclined to cling to the
old doctrine that people who have never
been taught the religion OF Jesus Christ
are necessarily lost. One does not need
to 20 far for a reason for this tendency.
A belief in lost world, or world that
could be saved only by revealed religion,
imposes upon those who have been
chosen to proclaim the truths OF that re-
ligion a duty that it would be criminal to
shirk. But If the admission is made
that those who act up to the light that
has been given them may be saved, the
urgency of the work Of spreading the
light is much less apparent. There came
time in the history OF missionary work
when choice had to be made between
converting the heather and losing the en-
lightened. Christians themselves slipped
from under dogma which held the ere
atur up ss the author Of plan under
which the greater part Of His creation
would be lost. Christian clergymen
ceased to proclaim such doctrine from
their pulpits. The duty of converting the
heather was still! urged, but not upon the
same grounds as before. Ii the portion
OF the world out side OF Christendom is
not lost il may be greatly benefited by
acquaintance with the principles OF Chris
tianity. In the long run dogmas OF re-
| ligion conform TO human reasoning. The
man rises superior to the priest. A good
many churchmen understand this so well
| that they volunteer to lead the man. In
so doing they avoid the reaction that
comes from an abrupt disturbance Of
popular beliefs The comparati rely few
who refuse to Move soon find themselves
isolated. Sermons which half centur,
ago would be accepted as inspired are
now lstene1to If at all, with impotence
None knows so well as progressiv,
churchmen that the most harmful blows
the church receives are not directed by
non believers.

POWER OF THE BRAIN.
DO Wen and Women Ever Realty
Forget Anythipgy

The brain OF mankind has been defined
as kind OF photographic cylinder
which retains impressions made upon 1t
through the medium Of the senses, par
ticularly through the eyes and ears, says
the family doctor. II this be true, memory
must depend for its intensity or retentive
qualities upon the degree of observation
with which the record is made.
Nor is this all. II memory's record is
in the shape OF indentalions upon the
folds of brain matter, are they ever en-
tirely effaced? In other words, do we
really ever forget anything? May it not
be that in the inner depths OF the brain
memory has stored up recollections Of
things which are never again purposely
turned to perhaps, but which instantly
spring into being aud flash through the
mind whenever we hear or see something
which recalls them?
There are several well known mental
phenomena which strengthen this theory.
We know that memory often brightens
during the last moments OF life and there
are cases on record where Germans,
French, Spaniards and others who, fall
ing i'll in this country years after having
entirely forgotten their native languages,
recovered and used them on their death
beds.
There is theory that in all such cases
the brain folds have relaxed, just rs do
muscles and cords OF the limbs and body
and that by SO doing they expose to the
minds monitor indentations lrecollec-
