he failed to receive it. Now he asks
the city council for it. And, although
Councilman Robertson approved the
roll in the absence of Mr.. Howe, the
desk sergeant still looks to the city for
his pay.
How long is this Pratt style of har-
mony going to continue involving the
department in broils and the city in lit
igation? They tell us that outsiders
make all this discord. Do they mean
Chief Pratt's son, or his brother, who
has succeeded the son at Mr.. Emery S
desk?
Harmony is out of the question in the
police department as at present con-
stituted and conducted. Harmony can
not exist where favorites are played,
where officers are publicly degraded for
no offense whatever, when others are
promoted because they are useful to the
chief in his multitudinous and extrinsic
schemes, when he insists on putting his
relations on the payroll whether va
cancies exist or not
The chiefs treatment of Mr.. Emery
is a fair sample of his conduct of the
office in the interest of harmony and
the public. When the weight of his
prejudice falls upon a sick man, as ii
does in this instance, it is peculiarly
offensive.

ARMY INCREASE NEEDED.

A correspondent takes exceptions to
The Herald's APP val of an increase
in the regular army, and wants to know
if the proportionate increase of ex-
pense has been duly considered.
No one believes that the army could
be increased from $4,000 men to 100000
men with the same outlay. OF course,
it will take money. The war took
money. Even the $1,000 men require
money. So does an enlarged navy. So
does any improvement in national de-
Tense. So has every acquisition of ter
ritory.
But this is a result of the war. In
order to carry the responsibilities as
sumed by this government when it
stepped between Spain and her de-
Tendencies, it Will have to undertake
the temporary control of the colonists
and the islands. The United States
government has already assumed an
attitude of guardianship. 1t was ex-
pensive at the beginning of the war;
it is going to be expensive. But there
is no need of discussing at this time
the propriety Of the war. Neither is
it right to Protest against the actual
expense incurred by conditions which
have resulted from the war. The only
way, it seems now, to avoid a total
loss of the outlay is to make the &C
QUESTION permanent, and the annexa-
ton complete in time; to build up the
colonies; to take advantage of their
possibilities; to improve their condi-
lions and develop their resources. If
this can be done without the establish
ment of garrisons on the islands, no
one has pointed out the way as yet.
What" asks the correspondent, will
be the expense of an army organized
under the Miles plan, or the Hull bill"
This years war department expend-
itures viii be about $500, 600, 900, all told,
half Of which belongs to the war prop
err There will be no material reduction
in the near future. although in time it
should be possible to maintain an army
of 100000 men at an expense of $780,
100000 per year.
This will not include the maintenance
of the national guard, nor, it may not
be necessary to add, the money needed
to meet a pension payroll aggregating
about $780, 600, 900 yearly.
But no nation need hope to engage
in war, to set itself up as a warlike
power, without going to some expense.

THE MARITIME COMPANY.

Senator Turpie favors the isthmian
canal, but his arraignment of the Mari
time company, in the name of which
this government is acting for the pur-
pose of obtaining concessions made
thereto by Nicaragua and Costa RIGA,
is severe. The senator does not con-
slider that the United States govern
ment is getting anything like value re
ceived for the bonds it is proposed to
give in exchange for the contract held
by the company.
According to a synopsis of the speech
Senator Turpie denounces the com
pany as the most venomous and eff
fective opponent of real canal enter
prise. He does not believe it possible
for that company, with its bad odor
to construct the canal, and he holds
that the Maritime company should get
out of the way of the genuine canal en-
terprise.
In that scathing style for which this
particular senator is celebrated, even
as ingalls, held the record in his day,
he declares that "the object of the
Maritime company is not to cut canal
but a channel of communication at the
least possible cost between the treas
ury of the United States and the empty
Golfers of that beggarly corporation"
Senator Turpie does not believe that
there would be any difficulty about go
ing directly to the governments of Mic
aragua and Costa Rica and asking for
a concession to the United States to
construct the canal. He says that "the
opposition of Nicaragua and other
countries was made to the Maritime
company, and to it only, of whose
vapid, empty and thoroughly ground
less pretensions the government of Mic
aragua had evidently become tired"
While it is important that the con-
struction of the isthmian canal should
begin at the earliest possible date, it is
project of such magnitude that no
hasty alliance of an unsavory sort
should be formed.
The canal ought to be built, but hon
estly, speedily, and as economically as
possible

THE CANAL FOR DEFENSE.

Senator Rawlins has the right idea
concerning the canal It is projected
for defensive as well as commercial
purposes. To build it with one object
in view and not the other would not be
the accomplishment of all the people
who endorse it have in view.
The senator objects to the wording of
the Morgan bill under which the United
States is bound to protect the canal to
the free and equal use of all nations
under all circumstances of peace and
war.
He has proposed an amendment COW
iring this objection. AS amended the
dill provides that the act is not to be-
come effective until there is an agree
ment between the United States and
Nicaragua and Costa Rica giving this
country the right to fortify the canal,
to establish garrisons there, to give the
right of way to war vessels on the
canal and lake, and to use the canal
and Notifications for purposes of Of
Tense and defense in time of war.

OTHER CUBAN BONDS.

There may be trouble yet over the
Cuban bonds, of which the Spanish
government washes its hands, and for
which France is inclined to hold Cuba
responsible, which means that this
| country will have to make some ar
rangements for taking care of them as
they fall due.
1t is claimed that "the Reputation of
the bonds is the result Of the Spanish
treaty which the victorious nation i'm
posed on Spain,'' as the loss of SPANS
colonies is likewise a result of the
treaty. But it would be a very unusual
and unbusiness-like proceeding for the
United States to redeem or guarantee
worthless bonds, the proceeds of which
have been boarded or expended by
Spanish officers and bankers.
seems, besides tNSse issued by the
Spanish government. Some are the re-
suit of negotiations last summer by
the Cuban juaesa. They are held, it is
said, by men aTho favored the war, but
are opposed to early annexation for
business reasons.
| In the interval between the severance
of Cuba from Spain and it's inevitable
annexation to the United States, it may
be convenient to sanction and issue
bonds which would ultimately be Shout
dered by the United States and go to
par.
The programme was sketched out by
the schemers as follows: THE United
States pledges itself to let Cuba estab
lish its own government; a war to free
Cuba from Spain; large bond issue
by the Cuban republic; sale of bonds
to such as will buy, at the same time
I distributing the bonds promised to in
f1uential politicians in and out of con-
gress; finally, after year or two. dis
covery of the inability of the Cubans
to govern themselves and consequent
annexation to the United States, our
government guaranteeing the debt Of
the republic on absorbing it, and thus
sending the bonds to par"
The president knows something of
this plan, it is conceded, and it worries
him, chiefly because it is liable to con-
front him in 1900, when he expects to
be a candidate for reelection.
One way to prevent this programme
from being carried out is to oppose the
brief establishment of republic pend
ing contemplated annexation. AS the
Baltimore Sun points out any period
of existence for the Cuban republic,
however brief, would give opportunity
for corruption and jobbery on vast
scale. Such an orgie would but multi
ply the difficulties of Cuban govern
ment and lay heavy burdens later on
the United States. Annexation, in the
presidents view, is inevitable Even if
we set up a republic, we should need
to keep it severely under our thumb,
and its failure to maintain order would
compel us sooner or later to annex it in
the interest of humanity"

DEATHS HIGH CARNIVAL.

A Butte telegram says that a COM
mittee has been appointed to look into
the smoke matter and report in ten
days on some plan to abate the nui-
sance."
That agreement must have been
reached in the interest of the under
takers and grave1iggers. Poison gas,
which is taking off people at the rate
of three or four day should not be
manufactured for ten days or ten
hours longer, if there is any way to
prevent it.
From the word that has been given
out from Butte the graveyard crop
promises to be extra heavy this month.
And now that old Death has been
granted an extension Of ten days time
it is highly probable that he will make
the most of his opportunity.
If conditions are as bad as have been
reported, the nuisance should be abated
first, and the ten days taken up in
considering whether or not the shelters
are to start up again without other ar
engagements for taking care of their
fumes.

the graham bread of tragedy. "Fabio

of daggers and swords, faithless wives
and treacherous friends, tombs, earth
quakes and volcanoes, has great fas-
cination for great many persons, and,
although the houses have not been
packed, the audiences have been ex-
tremely enthusiastic, and the prospects
are that business will improve during
the balance Of the week. The spectac-
ular dance given by Miss Grace Hun
ter is very beautiful and very clever.
Her imitation OF the blazing fire-the
effect being produced by having the
light thrown from beneath the stage
through plate of glass, is unique,
this part of the entertainment having
never before been done here. She was
