A q STRONG NAVY

sage. President Mckinley viii recon-
mend a substantial increase of the
navy. Probably he agrees with Secre-
tary Long that strong navy is q guar
antee of peace and pleasant relations
with the world" says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. What the president
will recommend in this matter probably
only he and his cabinet know, but il
he agrees with Secretary Long that a
strong navy" is a guarantee of peace
and pleasant relations with the world,
if such is Secretary Longs opinion,
then ne adopts, practically. the attitude
of Emperor William and those Euro
pean powers which insist that a power
ful standing army. ready to move at a
moments notice, is the best guarantee
of peace. Emperor William just now
is also advocating a strong navy for
Germany.
This country does not need strong
navy" unless ii is its purpose to enter
upon such foreign policy as will in
evitably lead US into conflict with other
nations. If such policy shall be
adopted then. of course, a strong
navy" will be absolutely necessary,
likewise a powerful standing army.
And when that day comes wherein Will
this country be greatly superior as a
political light to the nations of Eu-
rope? If we are 10 follow the fashion
they set in the matter of great navies
and powerful standing armies, it will
be tacit confession at least that free
institutions are to that extent a fail
ure.
1t isn't fattering to an Americans
pride to have a secretary of the navy
urging the same arguments in favor of
a strong navy that the greatest des-
pot in Europe urges in favor of huge
standing army.

Gov. Rogers Interviewed On the
Debs Colonization Scheme.

Seattle, Wash, Sept Pin an in
terview today at Olympia with a Post
Intelligencer correspondent Governor
Rogers gave his views as to the pro-
posed Debs colonization plan for this
state. Governor Rogers says: Il know
nothing whatever Of the social Democ-
racy colonization beyond what I kave
seen outlined in the newspapers and a
letter have received from Cyrus Field
Willard, notifying me that a committee
would soon visit this state. l am rot
altogether in harmony with the ideas
OF the Social Democracy in their colo
nization scheme. There is neither
money nor land that can be donated by
the state to the proposed colony except,
OF course, as any man has the privilege
of using his homestead rights. How
ever, I have actual knowledge that
some of the railroads have offered the
progenitors of the colony money and
assistance to induce them to settle in
Washington, also that special induce
ments have been held out to the colo
mist by eastern Washington land syn
dicates. Should the pioneers sent out
by the colony be men willing to work
hard and of practical ideas the scheme
will be productive of good to the state
in developing its resources and adding
to it's farms and commercial enter
prises"

MUEzLING THE PRESS WITH IN,
FUNCTIONS.

The country is becoming only too ia
nllllar with what is termed government
by injunction THIS government has
usually been instituted by some federal
judge, but Republican state judge in
Iowa has undertaken TO iatroduce it in
that state
a newspaper publisher in Charles
City, B. f. Wright by name. came into
possession of a, series of letters tG-a!t
had passed between a candidate for the
pCgtmastership at that place and some
of the Iowa congressman. Among the
letters were several from Senator Alli-
sen and Senator Gear; from Congress
man Updsgraff and others. the letters
were of a more or less discriminating ma
ture. it is said. Wright having oo-
tanned these letters, was intending to
publish them, when a state judge
named J. T. Clyde issued an indunc-
ton restraining him from publishing the
letters wlhcih had come into his POSSES
sion. 1t seems that Wright obeyed the
injunction, but what he should have
done was 20 have published them and
taken the consequences. Every paper
in the land would have championed his
course and 1T would have been the east
est thing imaginable to have paid any
fine Imposed upon him.
The letters had to do with things that
Intimately concerned the public. II
seems they showed that there was chi
canary somewhere, and fer this very
reason they should have been pub

case like this. the talk about the lib

THE WAY 10 EcoNoM1zE.

There is only one way I'M which to
econonnize in municipal affairs, and that
is to reduce expenses everywhere This
in turn means that in every department
cost must Be reduced to as low a figure
as possible. Every time reduction
in force or the salary of the force in any
department is made, naturally those af-
feoted VII cry cut against it. but the
public interest Is paramount to theirs
and must be considered first of all.
We have never been defenders CIR

And how has it been in the fire de-

There was a contest with the electric
light company and fer few weeks the
streets were in total darkness instead
OF being in about two-thlrds total dark

1t was that the city eventually tri-

All these savings were legitimate and

besides the reduction of the RUNNING ex-

can be a saving of expenses .ana that IS
TO refund the bonded indebtedness at a
lower rate of interest and apply the
amount in interest saved to the reduc-

honest effort to reduce expenses should
be commended rather than condemned.

INTRINSIC VALUE.

Senator Stewart addressed the people
of Denver last Saturday night upon
the silver question. In the course of
his address he said:
These men talk about intrinsic val
ne and man who used that phrase
ought to be sent to the pen4tentiary.
They use such a phrase as that and
say they want something in their
money that has intrinsic value, and
that gold is the only thing which has
intrinsic value, and they want that.
The relative value of the two articles
in a trade. that Is, the thing sold and
the money used, is determined by the
two men who make the trade. They
determine the value ef wheat and the
value of the money, and the value is
made every day. Intrinsic value is not
disturbed by the fact that for thous-
ands of years gold and silver had the
same value substantially And now
they say the intrinsic value has gone
out Of silver and now that it is in gold.
Just think! Value exists when there
is Limitation of quantity and there is a
demand for it You must have those
two things. The air out on the plains
has great utility, but that is not all
that is required. 1t wont sell for any
thing. Probably gold would be worth
Ia cents if it vas not used for money"
a man should hardly be sent to the
penitentiary fer talking about "intrin-
sic value" and more than for saying
there is no intrinsic value. The sena-
tor displays by his remark about those
who use the phrase Intrinsic value"
the same spirit that the corporation of
/ Brown university displayed towards
President Andrews.
We do not believe there is such
thing as intrinsic value, but it is a
| common and convenient term and des-
ignates very. well what people mean
when they use it. What they mean by
/ intrinsic value" in money metal is
! that the metal shall be as desirable in
( one form as in another, that is, coined
! or uncoined; that by its change of form
it shall not lose in estimation, esti-
nation being what people really mean
when they say value The intrinsic
value or estimation goes cut of a
! AAoACg AuCldi WIEN, IL It's form IS
changed, it does not serve the same
/ purpose as q medium of exchange that
it did before. 1t may here be said that
estimation is Synonymous with de-
mand or desire for money metal. Sill
yer has lost in intrinsic value, or es-
timation, because Of. a Iessened de-
m2nd for it through the arbitrary &C.
ton of the government restricting it's
use as money metal. This lessons
the demand for it, and hence its de-
probation. If the government will re-
move the restriction on silver. it will
recover its lost intrinsic value, for then
the demand for it Will be as great as
for gold, for dt viii serve the same pur-
pose as gold.
Intrinsic value" is still a good and
/ convenient phrase if rightly under
stood. We fancy Senator Stewart pro-
tests against the mfsapprehension SO
many people have of it,

Speaking of the bimetallic commits
sioners, the Albany Evening Journal
remarks: "The manner in which these
silver apostles are wandering around
the world seeking to gain some support
would be pit1ful if it were not for the
fact that most of them are greatly in
terested in mining, and are seeking to
hoist Deprecated metal upon the
world. in order that they may profit
personally. If they were actuated by
pure benevoIence, their mission would
arouse some admiration, even if they
did not win converts among people of
intelligence; but. under the cireun-
stances, little need be said about their
undertaking" We have never had
much faith in their mission, but they
are abroad as the representatives of
this government and were appointed
by President Mckinley. They certain
ly are actuated by as pure beneyolenee
as the president who appointed them
or as those who are ever prating about
the maintenance of the gold standard.
The Journals comments are silly and
nothing more.

TALES OF THE DAY.
They obeyed Instructions.

San Francisco Argonaut: The perma-
nent deep harbor committee created by
the Denver convention paid a visit to the
Lone Star state with the purpose of ex-
amining the various rival ports. The
commtttee, which was composed of rep
resentatives of all the states west of
the Mississippi to Une number of about 60,
became the guests of the people AN the
doors of all the railway trains and hotels
were open to them. the free use Of the
telegraph lines was rendered, carriage
drives, excursions on the water, ban
quets and oyster bakes filed IN the time
fo- two or three weeks. The essense of
southern hospitality, however, was voiced
in a telegram which the president of tha
San Antonio & Arkansas Pass railroad,
who happened to be in New Zork at the
time, sent to the chief counselor of the
company, General Houston:
