The great superiority OF the Pos.-Inielll-
gsncer news service. Geographic and local.
was never better shown than during the
past two days. II Ii doubtful II any cur
rent Pacific coast event Of great human
interest was ever chronicled in more COM
plets detail. or more Adequately. accur-
age!y ard Interestingly, or in finer and
better sustained style than the story in
yesterdays paper OF the nournfui Jane
Gray tragedy. Il was wanting In no par
ticalar possible to obtain. From first 70
last it was q narrative 10 compel the at
tention OK the most casual reader. ana il
illustrated just what q newspaper with
modern facilities and competent workmen
for gathering and presenting the news
can do.
The same issue contained all the war and
general and local news OF the day. and
IL had numerous special kilograms not con-
tanned il any other newspaper in the
Northwest. Among others there was an
exclusive dispatch from New York giving
Santiago de Cuba which the Associated
Press furnishes in greater detail today.
The sailing OF the troops from Tampa.

San Francisco and the governments prep

were among features given In specials and
not covered In the regular service.
The Post-Intelligencer on Wednesday
contained an exclusive account OF the re-
pulse OF the Spanish torpedo boats by the
Texas and Brooklyn. besides the usual
specials and regular press service.
The Post-IntelEgencer IL tie only news
paper In the state OF Washington that
receives and prints the full Associated
Press service; and it is the only newspaper
on the Pacific coast north OF San Fran
cisco that supplements this great and very
complete report with special kilograms
from the news centers Of the nation bear
ing on the war and other timely subjects.
That the public appreciates the Post-In-
teiligencer's efforts to give the news and
all OF 1t. regardless Of expense. is attested
by the fact that the average paid circula-
ton during May was considerably larger
than at any tine In its history; and that
the aggregate is greater than any other
two newspapers ia the state. and probably
as great as any three

of the far north, and each has been sad
In its way. but the same cfscouragements
were met by the pioneers who crossed
the plains or came around the Horn to
California IN the early days. Many heart
rending stories are told OF sudden and
slow starvation which befeii the venture

news Is coming from many who have sue

the opening up OF the river is enabling
many prospectors to make safe and rapid
progress toward the goal OF their hopes.

The Washington authorities may
we'll regard tke situation In Madrid
as afrording them fully as much aid
in GRIPPING the enemy as the military
and naval forces. The condition of
Spain is almost pitiable. II the run
upon the Bank OF Spain meant no more
than compelling the government to dis
continue the war 1t might prove bless
ing In disguise; but the evil reaches
deeper. 1t means the ruin OF many
thousands who have had very little to
say about the government OF Cuba or
the conduct OF the war.
The condition In Spain should Incl
dcntaliy serve as q warning to the peo-
pie OF this country against tampering
with the currency or having cheap
money. The people are Fastening to
change their paper money into coin, be-
cause they fear there will not be enough
coin with which TO redeem the curren-
ey. and the paper viii soon become
worthless. There is nobody In the
United States worrying about the gold
or silver or currency. but II there was
any fear OF the slightest difference In
value between them. even / per cent,
there would be an immediate rush for
the nlost valuable OF the three kinds OF
money. That kind would be gold.
Neither laws nor patriotism would serve
to stop the run on the part OF the peo-
PIE.
When Senior Castillo was leaving
Madrid 70 return to his post at Paris he

OF what Is taking place. this grandilo-
quent declaration sounds like the az

A Popular Loan and Free Silver.
I4esIie's Weekly

A matter Of grave Importance. in con-
nection with the coming war loan, is
this: The loan will probably be issued, on
the basis OF popular subscriptions. for
bonds OF fifty dollars and multipies thereof
II bonds. payable IL ''coin." were sold
at popular subscription. 1t Is safe to say
that every holder of them would insist
that his be made payable In gold, and
when the time came for congress to defin-
itely provide for payment, every bond
holder, great Or small. no matter whether
he came from silver or a gold state,
would demand that the obligation be made
payable In the best money in the world
How far this would affect the silver Quess-
ton remains to be seen. Perhaps Senator
Teller's opposition to a government loan
arises from the fact that he scents dan
ger in the air to the cause of free silver.

4 Queer Thing.

Portsmouth, o.. Blade.
The average Democratic congressman is
a queer thing. A war is on. Money Is
needed TO sustain the national honor ard
carry our arms to victory. He will support
no revenue measure unless its principal
feature IS an income tax. The supreme
court, however, has held an incoma tax
to be- unconstitutional. Just how war
money Is to be raised by an unconstitu-
tional law, he does not attempt to explain
What trifiing with common sense It Is TO
place an income tax provision In the war
tax bin when the whole world knows 1t
Is unconstitutional and that never a dollar
could be raised under II.

The public is disposed to sympathize
with the unhappy newspaper men who
find 50 much difficulty In penetrating the
secrecy imposed by the government, but
1t will net be disposed to believe that the
government has only just arrived at a
plan simply because the correspondents
have not been let into 1t before. The fact
that a carefully prepared estimate has
been submitted to congress shows that q
plan must have been agreed upon In Its
main lines some time ago.

To the Editor: I beg to inform yon that
the statements in your editorial of the
10th inst--upon the assay ofiice--concern-
ing the personal relations OF Congressman
Lewis and myself are wholly incorrect
He never In his career IN this house made
vicious attack upon any member-par-
ticuiarly never upon me. We have dis
agreed upon party policies, but our con-
tests have been waged with courtesy and
good feeling. My acquaintance with the
Seattle member has been pleasure and
the continued association with him per-
sonai qualification. Mr.. Lewis Is the only
one who ever asked me to vote for the
bill. and l told him that should do so
very willingly. AMOS J. CUMMINGS.

The correspondence between Gov. Rog-
ers and Gen. Merriam has led to a tele-
gram which says that the wishes OF the
troops from the state OF Washington will
be respected. and that general satisfaction
will ultimately be secured. This Is good;
but there Is some reason 10 believe that
unless very persistent efforts had been
made. they might have been deprived Of

Rich or poor, Spain is the most ten
aclous antagonist we could have chosen
In the world. In her children's veins
runs the blood of those mighty Visit
goths who wrcsted the province from
the Romans and held 1t until over
whelming invasion of the Saracens Mt
the beginning OF the eighth century
drove them to the rocky businesses of
the North. Here they intronched them
selves and descended from the Asturlas
TO give battle to the Moors to repossess
their territory and gradually to form
states and considerations, while they
waged constant warfare with their
ever-prcsent foe, often chivalrlc and
always with seriousness and intensity
And this contest lasted eight centuries
and included thlrty-seven hundred
battlesl with practically free cities
which had grown up with the exogen-
cics of the time, with the most limit
ed form OF monarchy of which mon
archy is capable. with spirit of In
dividual liberty of which the rest of
Europe had no example to offer, the
lesser Kingdoms were amalgamated in
the great provinces of CASTLE, Aragon
and Navarro, and We're swept on to the
golden age of Ferdinand and Isabella,
and to the union in the kingdom of Spain
with Catalonia, Valencia. Leon. Bis
cay, the Asturias, Galicia, Estrema-
dura. Mercia and Andalusla. and the
conquered kingdom of Granada. Then
succeeded the splendid achievements in
the New World which followed the dis
covery Of the great queens client. Col
umbus. and a long course OF prosperity
and plenty.
Afterwards came the modern wars,
the war Of the succession and the
French and the Peninsular campaigns.
The conquests In the New World were
