NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS.

H EPORTS from Washington to the effect that H the President has received in advance full ln- formation of the results of the inquiry into the cause of the destruction o the Maine and Is prepared tc send the official report to Congress with short message as soon as arrives hardly require conhr- nation. It is matter of course that in issue of this urgency the board would keep the President n- formed of the trend of evidence given during the in ?esgation and 1t is equally matter of that the President in should at once notify Congress of the conclusions reached In fact, should the find ings of the board raise involving the question of war; 1t will be imperative upon the President to transmit them to Congress, since only Congress has the power to declare war.
 It is therefore certain that within a few days the country will learn what view our Government takes of the situation and what the prospects of peaceful settlement of the issue. It IS under these circumstances that the House of Representatives will begin tomorrow to debate the naval appropriation bill. The influence of the crisis will be felt less by every member of the House, and the outlook is that the consideration of the measure will be an occasion for an outpourng of patriotic oraoy rather than debate the amount of money involved in the appropriation
 The country will lose nothing by this substitution of patriotism for the old fashion or haggling over naval appropriations. It is full time that something was done to provide the nation with navy strong enough not only to guard it's long coast line. but to protect its shipping and its interests in all parts of the world. In these days of steam warships and guns capable Of throwing explosive shells for miles no longer safe in the fact of remoteness from Europe. weak nation like Spain us with something of danger, and in conflict with first-class power the with present navy would be portentous indeed
 In the affairs of nations there are always proba- bilities of war; and in our case such wars as come will almost certainly be fought mainly on sea. We must therefore prepare to make ourselves sea power and that of no mean importance Along the Atlantic. the Gulf and the Pacific we have three vast coast
 lines to defend, and, moreover an increasing foreign commerce to protect The importance of an ample navy has been recognized by our abest statesmen of all parties and the people are now fully conscious of the need It is therefore matter for congratulaon that at last Congress approaches the consideration of a naval appropriation bill with thoughts above the level of buncombe economy This is the week of er1ss and of patriotism, and 1t is not too much to expect that out ot 1t will arise navy worthy of the republic and equal to the defense of its coasts and its flag all around the globe

VARIETIES IN TELEPHONE RATES.

A DEBATE in the United States Senate on a / \ bill limiting the charges that may be made for telephone service in the District of Columbia brought out good deal of information concerning the telephone business and disclosed the fact that there is almost infinite variety in charges made for such service in different sections of the Union, and even between different cities of the same section.
 It appears that the charge for telephone connection in Washington is from $40 to $I5o a year, accord ing the service In that city the telephones are in the hands of a monopoly. Senator Cullom showed what could be proftably given under stress of competition by citing his city, Springfield, Ill., and made good point n doing so, for the rate in Springfield is but $36.
 Information given by other Senators shows that charges for special metallic current are: In Mil waukee $I2o; in Louisville $II1; Atlanta Soo; Phil adelphia, $I6o; Boston, $I68; St. Paul. $12o; and Newark, $I5o. In opposition to these high rates it was noted that in Augusta, Ga, the is $3o Rich mond from SIS to $50; in Kansas City, SIP for resi- dences and SIS for business houses and in Roanoke Va, from SIP to SEQ.
 One of the best illustrations of the benefits accru- ing from competition in the business was derived from the experience of Detroit In that city the Bell telephone rates from $50 to Szz year. The Home Telephone Company was organized and the Bell Company at reduced the rates to from S24 to $36 year. As result of the reduction in charges the number of subscribers in the city increased from less than 1000 to I2,ooo In this connection 1t may be noted that under the present high charges in Washington the number of telephone subscribers in that comparatively large and wealthy city is less than 2oOo.
 There seems other for this wide variation i'll different cities than that of them will submit to high charges and others will not The rate is fixed not what the traffic will bear but what the people will bear The Senate passed the bill limiting the rates which the monopoly may charge in Wash ington to $50 year for the use of telephone on separate wire, and $25 on a wire on which four or more telephones operated. It appears therefore that while competition do much legislation also can do something

IN one Of the town halls In a Japan
csc treaty port there Is a remarkable
time-plece. It Is contained In a hand
some frame, three feet wide and five
feet long. 1t represents MONDAY
landscape, very cleverly carried out.
IN the Foreground plum and cherry
trees appear In bloom, while In the
rear hill is to be seen, from which
flows a pretty cascade, initiated In
crystal. From this cascade flows a tiny
stream, which wends It's way between
rocks and islands and finally loses itself
In a stretch Of woodland. In NINA
ture sky a golden sun turns on a silver
wire, striking the hours on a silver
gong as it passes. Each hour Is marked
by a creeping tortoise. A bird of rich
plumage MARBLES at the close of the
hour and, as the warbling ceases, a
mouse suddenly makes It's appearance,
and, scampering over the hill to the
garden, Is soon lost to view Altogether
it is certainly a wonderful piece Of
mechanism.-S Francisco Chronicle.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
a rALK w1rH MRs. PINKnAM.l

A woman with the blues is a very I'M
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
It is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of win and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
(. Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice Her advice is thorough com
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. f. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM;-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than l
have had for the past ten years. l
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ng women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid YOU"
