Congress has passed the River and
Harbor bill over the Presidents veto

that one half is Il clean steal. The

improvement of Santa Monica harbor,
At the instigatiOn Of the u. p. rail
road, whose lobbyists have been beseig-
ing Congress for months, is fair
sample. The Improvement of this
harbor had been adversely reported
on by two examining boards, and no
report has ever been made in its favor
yet this great rail road having induced
lew Congressman to champion
this measure, they are able to force
it, passage by threatening other MEM
bers, for it is well known that about
the only test of ability enforced by
the old parties, is getting Federal ap-
preparations for the district by their
representative, and each Congressman,
to get Federal money Tor his own DIS
trict, is ready to assist every other
one, and so the robbery of the people
goes on mernly. The river and harbor
ball, like the tariff, .s;p,uld be taken up
in individual hills fur each item and
not no made an omnibus matter.

by this gang of toughs. The orther

REPUDIATION

That which has been limited at and
even threatened from time to time in
recent years, has come about, in COLI
sequence of the financial policy of the
government, The little town of Pratt
has decided to make no further effort
to meet its bonded obligations and to
let the bondholders take the town.
Having once started who can Say
when this thing will stop; may it not
extend from the town to the township
from the township to the county: from
the county to the state and from the
state TO the nation unles the present
ruinOus financial policy shall be aban-
doned. Kansas, fortunately, is in "a
better condition than many other
states. Her debt is small and she
has the money in the treasuryto pay it..
The people are told that the present
monetary system is necessary to maln-
tain the credit of the country and yet
it must be apparent that the credit is
growing weaker all the time. g United
States bonds which have in former
years sold at per cent can no longer
be marketed at that figure. 1t is be-
coming difficult matter to sell muni-
cipal, county and state bonds, bearing
profitable rate of interest, at par. De-
fault in payment of interest on this
class of securities and on corporation
bonds are of almost daily occurrence
and now comes actual reputation.
A few occurrences like that report
ed at Pratt may serve to open the eyes
of the brokers, bond holders and
money dealers of the east to the fact
that the ruinOus consequences which
must inevitably follow a continuation
of the gold standard will not be visit
ed OH the producers and creditor class
es alone. There is Il limit to the abil-
ity of the people to pay and when that
is reached they will not be the pnly
loosers. They are willing and anxious
to meet their Obli cations aud will do
so if given q chance. but it will be i'm
possible for MANY OF them unless tile

tive prosperity nIall be arrested.
Taxes do not decrease an when

pay them, the owner is ready to give
up. When tins condition obtaines in

other than that the town Will Say to
tie holders of its bonds: come anu get
your property.
When the bond holders find that they
cannot make any more. out of the

perhaps they will let the light of rea-
son, common sense and justice SHIN

The Best Way to Get There is Over

The fabulously rich gold mining
district of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is

Mr. Dunn discloses the fact that this
particular wind display started down
near Ell Paso, Tex. after the prize fight
crowd visited that town. The buster
ing breezes blew eastward to Virginia,
and then tackled off for Nova Scotia
A rotary motion set in about that time
and we have had to suffer for the con-
fusion incident to the lutfing about of
the atmosphere.
The present blow, Mr.. Dunn thinks
will continue until tomorrow
The gale holds sway over the Allan
tic coast from Nova Scotia to Cape
Hatteras, and the storm signals which
were raised on Sunday are still up.
The gale was blowing forty miles an
hour at 8 o'clock this morning, forty
eight miles at o'elock,' and about thir-
ty-eight at 10 o'clock

Night on a Eerry Boat.


~ York, March 5,--The ferryboat
George Washington, which left her slip
at the foot of West One Hundred and
Thirtieth street at $50 o'clock last
night, managed to get outside of her
slip and then got wedged in the ice
with which the river was damned. The
boat was unmanageable in a few mo-
ments There were thirty passengers
ON the boat, ten OF whom were women
They We're within few yards of the
shore, but We're unable to reach it ow-
ing to the small ice which swept be-
tween the boat ana the slip. A small
boat would have been unmanageable,
and ladders were too short
Their only chance of relief was to hail
some boat strong enough to tow them
out. No boat hove in sight until near
ly midnight The boat was unable to
give the required help Finally the ice
became jammed between the main land
and the ferryboat at o'clock and by
means OF ladders the imprisoned pas
sengers escaped, and crossing the ice
reached New York in by no means
pleasant frame of mind.
