THE TORPEDO-BOAT PLUNGER
New York Press.


If the Holland submarine torpedo
boat Plunger comes up to expectations,
it is sure that war cannot occur in the
future. She is to dive out of sight In
twenty seconds, fire torpedoes into the
enemy's warship, remain under water
ten hours, destroy mines and torpel oeO,
pass through hostile fleets with mes
sages, open up blockades,h lul wounded
vessels out of harms way, carrying
ammunition and provisions to disabled
ships, transfer wounded seamen to
shore hospitals, repair accidents to
screws, scrape foul bottoms, and do
submarine chores generally. She is
to be the man of all work under the
surface of Old Ocean. She must get
up early and go to bed late. She
must light the fires in the morning and
blow out the candle at night. In plain
English, the Plunger must be drudge
With her in service any man-of' war

THE RIGHT NAN IN THE RIGHT
PLACE.
New York Herald. J


Fitzhuyh Lee, as consul-gene d u.
Havana illustrates the fundamental
principle of civil service reform, which
is to "6nd the right man for the place
and keep him there"
General Lee is Democrat, Soul IL
ener and was a hard fighter on the
Southern side. He was selected for
his place by a Democratic President
N grounds Of fitness alone. He quick
lv demons, rated his peculiar quahhca-
t,ons FIR it's difficult duties courag &c
intelligence, cool head, determined
pa ricti m, a winning manner, and an
uu a ,ing discretion.
When Republican President came
in. and found this delicate, and diff
cult post SO admirably filed by man
OF opposite politics, he wisely reques'
teS him to remain Gas personal favor
to the President" Everybody is not
only satisfied but greatly pleased with
the result.
Why? Because there was difficult
work to do, for which the man has
peculiar and eminent fitness, and hlt
,,olitics does not affect that fitness
even in the remotest degree.
Is not this the right principle! Ano
is not the country's satisfaction with
its application in this case the best
nossible plea for it's extension?

MCKINLEY VS.. MCKINLEY.

I am for the largest use OF silver In
the currency of the country. would
not dishonoriit. I would give 1t equal
credit and honor with gold. I would
make no discrimination, I would use
both metals as money and discredit
neither. I want the double standard.
In Congress, June "a, 1880.
When merchandise is the cheapest,
men are the poorest, and the most dis
tressing experiences in the history OF
our country-aye, in all human history
have been when everything was the
lowest and cheapest,measured by goid'
for everything then was the highest
and dearest, measured by labor.-ln
Congress, May, 1890.
Speaking of the policy OF President
Cleveland in an address to Republican
League Clubs in '92, he said: He vas
determined to contract the circulating
medium and demoretize one OF the
coins of commerce, limit the volume OF
money among the people, making
money scarce, and therefore dear. de
would have increased the value OF
money and diminished the value OF
everything else--money the MASTER
everything else its servant.
He was Chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions at the Republican Ma
tional Convention in 188S,and reported
this plank: The Republican party is in
favor of the use OF both gold and sill
YER as money, and condemns thepolicy
of the Democratic administration in its
efforts to demonetize silver.
He was Chairman of the Republican
National Convention in 1892 that
adopted this resolution: ''fhe Ameri-
can people, from tradition andmstinct'
favor bimetalism, and the use OF both
gold and silver as standard money"
Now hear him! At the feast OF mil
lionaires at the Waldorf-AstOria hotel
New York, President Mckinley said
s.There is another duty resting upon
the National Government, to coin
money snd regulate the value thereof.
This duty requires that our govern
ment shall regulate the value OF its
money by the highest standards OF
commercial honesty and national honor.
The money of the United States Island
must forever be, unquestioned and un-
assailable. If doubts remain, they must
be removed. If weak places are dis
covered, they must be rep aired. =
Nothing should ever tempt us
nothing ever will tempt us-to scale
down the sacred debt of the nation
through legal technicality. What
ever may be the language Of the con-
trac., the United States will discharge
all of it's obligations in the currency
recognized as the best throughout the
civilized world at the time OF payment

principles and stern resolutions to en-
force them, even if it costs continuous
struggle to do so and temporary sacri'
fee, never are in the highest degree
