engineer who thoroughly understands
its mechanism. Time lis required for
training men 10 be gunners. and 1t 10
not everyone who becomes emcient
after he is trained. Even with the
comparatively simple guns heretofore
Ia use, IL IL quite well known that many
men who are very efficient In the gen.
eral duties Of arfilIerymen in the held
do not make good gunners; and this to
much more likely TO be the case with
such complicated machines as those
now used for coast defenses. The gov
eminent has spent very considerable
sum OF money In extending the sys-
TEN, and has expended fortunes in
construction OF guns and Notifications.
Not only would this be useless. but We
should be luiled into q false security II
these existed without competent men
to manage them.
We ought TO endeavor also TO secure
q training ship for this Coast. There
Is no better place for one than the
neighborhood of Port Orchard, but it
is OF less consequence where IL is To-
Gated than that 1t be somewhere On
this Coast. The addition Of large YES
sells TO the navy has not been accom-
panied by a commensurate increase in
the number OF men. The entire en-
listed strength of the navy is eleven
thousand men, which should be in
creased by about five Thousand. There
is no better way to augment the navy
than by the apprentice system. which
has resulted In furnishing the navy and
the merchant marine with large num-
Der OF American sean.en. None but
American-born boys are enlisted in the
navy as apprentices. Philadelphia and
New York maintain school ship each,
the Saratoga and st. Mary, and these
have materially assisted in the work
OF supplying the naval and mercantile
ships with American seamen. There
are many orphan boys, and some who
are not orphans, that are little wild,
who would become useful members OF
society II they had the training given
on board these ships, instead OF be-
coming waits and strays in city life.

WattersOm's Apostacy.
New York Sun


How Colonel Watterson. gallant in ac-
ton, respectable in defeat. will manage
to march In the ranks of the free silver
column. the regular Democracy, carrying
a.oft the flag of honest money. is a MAJ
ter OF personal and rhetorical interest
rather than OF practical importance. Tho
practical Importance Of his recent enter
prise In Kentucky, the utter failure and
hopelessness Of which he so manfully
acknowledges. Is the demonstration II af-
fords that the National Democratic or
ganization. such as II has been. Is now a.
an end as political entity. As In Ken
lucky, so everywhere the offer TO main
tain 1t will be abandoned. II has no flu
ture. Men will range themselves, ac-
cording to their convictions on the great
issues OF 1895 and Of 1900, either with the
Republican party or with the Democratic
party. They will be Republicans or they
viii be Democrats.

The Gold Democracy Is dead. 1t knows
1t a. wen as anybody. The recent elect
tons completely demonstrated the folly
Of continued organisation. The Louisville
courier-Journai. the Charleston News and
Courier and other important newspapers
have deserted 1t and left 1t q feeble and
helpless orphan. The impelling reason
for the flop Of these newspapers was
doubtless business. Their constituency
was small and their circulation decreasing.
They would have been wise. from ma
terial point of view, to let the tail go
with the hide and Join the Republican
ranks at the beginning. The New York
Sun and the Boston Herald. great news
papers. completely reversed their former
attitude. and are the gamers for II. It IL
likely that We shall soon hear the last Of
the Gold Democracy.

THE STATE PRESS.

Olympian: The return of prosperity re-
duces the field OF labor Of the alarmist. but
1t doesn't dampen his ardor. He can set
up straw men now to battle with just as
much alacrity as OF yore.
Auburn Argus: The fact that the Repub-
leans have gained two United States SEN
ators as the result Of the recent elections
does not bolster up the claims of large ae-
eessions to their ranks made by the Pop
ulists. Their assertions are not backed
by facts.
Whatcom Reveille: Gov. Rogers In his
Thanksgiving proclamation says: Peace.
like river. wide and free. overspreads the
land" Then Fay and Davis are really
dead. We suspected II. They haven't
spoken for two days, but perhaps they're
only too full for utterance.
Winlock Pilot: Several weeks have
elapsed since Gov. Rogers has had one Of
his periodicals." and even the windy ex-
heard from. What's the matter with the
Populist party, anyway? This cessation Of
5awbone would lead one to believe that the
species was becoming extinct.
Colfax Gazette: A bright future dawns
upon the thousand hills OF a favored re-
gion. and . new hope and a new energy
has arisen in the hearts OF honest men.
The clouds of adversely have rolled away
and the sun of prosperity shines once
more. From the past many lessons of
economy, management and mismanage-
ment have been learned. With new hopes,
new aspirations and new resolves the peo-
pie OF the Palouse should and will make
much Of promising future.

in a few moments, or the contest last for
an hour. Mr.. Starr relates that he saw
the ball thrown from the center to player
within ten feet of the goal post, who scor-
ed instantly.
In wrestling, the players seize each 9TH
er by the belt, dropping the ball sticks.
With the exception of the prohibited but
ting, almost everything else is permitted.
One of the players, splendidly formed
man, partly of Irish descent, caught an
other, stood him on his head and twisted
HIM around. Mr. Starr said to him af-
terward, You tried to kill that fellow"
He answered, Neck too tough Wouldn't

AS it was, five men were crippled, Of
whom two died. The injuries inflicted up
on man during a game are frequently
avenged by his relatives. The result of
the game described was a victory for To-
bucksey county. The conjurer on the
Sugar Loaf side was said to have sent his
men to the creek to battle in the morning
which weakened them. They were pen
a.ized five goals for butting at the end
and so lost the game. There was no cell
ebration afterward. All were tired out
and went quietly home to their mud
chinked log cabins at the close of the
day.
