Four Spanish Prisoners Dead.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 1e.-Four
deaths occurred during the night among the
Spanish prisoners now at this port, two men
having died on Seavy's island and two on
board the Harvard. One of the deaths on the
vessel was due to malarial fever, and the
other to heart disease. One Of the men who
died on the island was an apothecary on one
OF Cerveras ships and was a victim of paral-
ysis. The other died from wounds. The con-
ditioH of those on board the Harvard was
reported ~ being much better today.

The Coming Message.

Not twice In this century has the an
nual message Of q President Of the United
States found Q more Interested audience
than that which awaits Mr.. McKNLEY's
communication to Congress on the state
OF the nation, q document due at the Capitol
day after tomorrow.
For 1t will be not only the formal and
official report Of q year Of glorious achieve
ment In war and In diplomacy, but also the
index pointing to q splendid future Of en-
larged national activity. widened influence,
increased prosperity and greater usefulness
In the scheme Of Providence for the good Of
all mankind.
1t Is WILLIAM McKNLEY's privilege to
have shaped events at n period which shapes
the history Of the future for years beyond
conjecture; and 1t Is his fortune to have
the gratitude and confidence Of the people
OF his country at this time, to an ex-
tent unusual in our experience.
His recommendations to Congress must
not be expected to clear up all the doubtful
and difficult questions involved in the new
national destiny. Congress itself will not
DO able to solve at once all the problems
hat are ahead. But the message will point
out to the nation the way to go, and time
and American genius will do the rest.

the merchant marine, fishermen, and
others4 He figures that the cost for uni
forms, for pay during a practice season Of
two weeks, for transportation, and so on
would be ~$144,ooo n year, but he would
maket the appropriation a round 5000, 900,

anoes, and, perhaps, for longer practice.
But Is 1t we'll to look to the existing State
naval militia to supply from one-third to
one-half Of the proposed new national ma
val reserve9
It would seem wiser to keep that organiza-
ton strong and enthusiastic, with all the
corps pride and prestige Of actual war SER
vice, Instead Of taking away the most
efficient and experienced OF its men for
the proposed new reserve. In a val with
q sea power stronger and more enterprislng
than Spain, the naval militia would not be
In excess, even II 5000 or 5000 strong,
and II would nave most valuable work to
do In Its own sphere, and without under
taking, on ships OF the regular navy, such
work as could be expected from the pro-
posed navigating reserve.
While, therefore. Mr.. ALIENS argument
for the establishment of the new body seems
conclusive, 1t should have u basis OF its own,
without drawing materially from the State
naval militia, which we may hope to see
strengthened rather than decreased. Such
a leavening of seafaring men as the latter
has ID Of obvious value, and its withdrawal
might not be fully made up by recruits OF
sort.

Another correspondent, befogged on the
currency question. writes to us in defence Of
Director Of the Mint ROBERTS. He says:
Suppose. tomorrow. all the Governments OF the
world should say, We will ooin no more gold. We
will use platinum and iridium Isn't IL evident that
the value Of gold would soon drop TO one-halt Its
present value. a. one-half the demand for IL would
be gomez And would NOT platinum and iridium
immediately jump In prioei And II silver had been
not Jump In prioer'
All the Governments in the world might re-
fuse to coin gold and Il still would be used by
the people Of the world as money. and the de-
mand for II would not diminish. It was used
for money long before Governments coined 1t,
and 1t will be 80 used whatever they do. In the
days when there were no coming facilities In
California, gold dust passed by weight, as In
China silver does. Nor could any Government
compel people to use platinum and iridium for
money. Platinum cannot be melted, and, as
well as iridium, It Is produced In too small
quantities to supply the place OF gold. Nor can
Governments compel people to use silver for
money exclusively. In this country, the Gov
eminent has coined 5oo.0oo.o0o silver dollars
but has succeeded in getting only SO. 100000 Of
them into circulation. The deprecated legal
tenders. during the war. did not prevent the
continued use Of gold nor make II worth any
less than 1t was before they were issued. Our
correspondent exaggerates the power OF legis-
lation. and disreRards that Of nature.

an unfortunate artist who, with "a dis
mounted organ mounted on a wheelbarrow,
ground out a succession OF sounds that
made the Commissioners writhe in agony"
But what hand-organ that respects itself
would not wrlthe in agony d such
circumstances Besides, II a low CONNER
cial view Of q high matter may be taken,
the more agonizlng the writhing OF a hand
organ, the quicker It will touch the pocket
book Of its destined victim. And this may
have been a pathetic hand-urgan, full Of
wailings and cries OF the soul. Various
h~snd-organs and ~organettes had to be eau
toned that they must reform or shut up.
The hurdy-gurdies seem to have had better

fers hurdy-gurdies or the Commissioners

I'm the proposition. When people become acous-
toned to an instrument out of tune they usually
prefer IL to one in tune. Now. tho Commission pro-
poses that all street musical instruments which are
licensed shall be in tune; and the tuner or tuners
must have the approval of the Commission. must 30

instrument is in tune they would protest against
street pianos and other things out Of tune; they
would prefer TO hear a classic piece of music in tuna

Probably a license will be refused to roll
licking melodies when the musical educa-
ton Of Boston has beer carried a little
further. 1t is as painful to imagine Boston
rollicking as to imagine Hamlet chewing
gum. When the Hon. JOSIAH QUINCY has

Grieving Over George Dewey.

DR.. JAMES ALBERT NORTON, a Democratic
Congressman from Ohio, is smiling at
Tinin, where he resides, because DR.. GEORGE
DEWEY did not sail out OF Manila Bay and
away from the Philippines as soon as he
had smashed MoNToJo's squadron.
II cannot help wishing, says DR.. MOTION
Of Tifln, that DEWEY had simply entered
the bay, destroyed that Spanish feet, thus
avenging the Maine, and then sailed away,
leaving us free from the complications
which must now arise"
So DR.. DEWEY Is the head devil OF ma
tlonal expansion, in the view Of the Ohio
Congressman Well, we think he Is; al
though few people share DR.. NoRToN's
grief over that circumstance.
But this Is not the worst case Of sorrow
which DEWEY has inspired.
DR.. NORTON is sorry only because the
Admiral didn't sail out Of Manila Bay. We
could mention one or two citizens who are
sorry that he ever sailed in.
