Spain; Reed was firmly opposed TO IT to
the last. They are enthusiasts for the
annexation of Hawaii; he blockaded ac-

It. They profess to be warm admirers
Of Mr.. Mckinley: Speaker Reed has
never entertained a feeling Of sdmira-
tion for the present administration-he
has thwarted more han once the
schemes of certain cabinet members.
But home opposition is no new ex-
perience for Mr.. Reed. His conceit and
his arrogance have put his election to
congress In peril more than once in a
district that Is Overwhelmingly repub-
lican. He never got on any too well
with his Maine neighbors. He was RI
diculously Jealous of Blaine than whom

~ R1T1SHERS. who are not apt to
~ be hasty In such matters. are
saying that the war is already
old enough to LAY undone much of the
prophecy about the torpedo boat. An
English admiral. writing about the
Hobson exploit and other Incidents CT

played by the torpedo boat "coun-
Pounds the experts"
A few weeks & much enthusiastic
talk was heard in praise Of these al
legged terrors: they were gong to
sweep the seas OF the ponderous cruis-
ers and prove that the moietn msm-
moth warshlp has seen its sho-: day.
This country counted on the exposure
of our proudest ships to Spain's tor
pedo boats-they were rated TO be The
best war material Spain has, and we
were sorry hat we hadu . more OF
them.
The fear was that the Oregon, stear-
ing up the coast of South America,
would end her career in humi.'a.isn. II
she happened to fall in with ;he Teme-
rario: that dreaded craft took good
care to keep out OF the Oreson's way.

Our navy has a good stock " torpedo
boats. but they are not winning glory.
Many of them have been doing dis
patch-boat duty: the winsloy was
practically doing tugboat service when
she was badly injured in Cardenas hai-
Dor OF course, the war may yet de-
velop brilliant opportunities for these
boats-our government is building more
of them; England has given orders for
a large number Of them. But nothing
has occurred thus Tar in our war with
Spain to indicate that the new naval
terror is going to displace the heavily
armored ships. as had been predicted.

The Hearst
Library.

From the Salt Lake tribune.
The Anaconda Standard of Sunday last
Is a superb library edition, issued in
honor of the final transfer of the Hearst
library to that city. Mrs. Hearst. widow
OF the late senator Hearst, some three
years since presented a free library to
Anaconda. Since then the erection of a
very magnificent library building has been
going on. II is now completed, and on
Saturday night last Mrs. Hearst IN person
delivered over the structure to the city
with appropriate ceremonies. The freedom
of the city was extended to her. graceful
speeches were made by Mrs. Hearst. the
governor of Montana and many other
eminent citizens. all closing with a royal
reception to Mrs. Hearst. That Is a re-
minder that time IL flying, for II seems

Mr.. Hearst would have been willing to
go to San Francisco and to eschew min

he lived. after that. long enough to make

States senator, and he has now been

the splendid gift OF Mrs. Hearst TO the
latter city. And IL the spirit Of George
Hearst is cognizant of what Is going on in
this world. II will be glad of the gift, for
his was a generous nature. and the
chances are that he would. in his life,
have made the gift had any one sug-
gested IL to him. A sharp and strong and
brave man was George Hearst. His dispo-
sition was always kindly. but nc one was
harder TO drive from a settled purpose
than he. He possessed an intuition which
made him know a good mine when ne

preparation. bonds in the sum OF
$3.50. 900 having been disposed of. 1t is
proposed that $685. 900 be spent on this
building. Much OF the balance must go
to liquidate the rascality of the first
capitol commission, which got away
with lens of thousands of the peoples

world TO show to-day is a hole in the
ground-and even that, we hear, can
not be turned to much account toward
the cellar Of the new building.

bad. The ground, with reference to its
surroundings, Is the shape of a saucer.

The holiest of all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart.
The secret anniversaries of the heart.
When the full river of feeling overfiows,
The happy days unclouded to their close,
The sudden Joys that out of darkness

As flames from ashes, swift desires that
dart
Like swallows. singing, down each wind
that blows.
White as the CLEAN OF a receding sail,
White as a cloud that floats and fades in

White as the whitest lily on a stream.

But lovely as a landscape in q dream.

THE PAY OF THE NAVY.


-" ~ "a Mo 9oU OH0CeIo
Are Looked After.
From Leslie's Weekly.
When one takes into consideration
the intelligence. the technical training
n the other demands made upon them
by their profession, the oflcers and men
who handle u warships are poorly
paid as compared with those who fol-
low similarly exacting duties on shore.
An officers a varies not only ac-
the nature OF his duty. His highest pay
Is while at sea, his lowest while on leave
or waiting orders" The following gives
the officers pay per annum:
Rear admirals, $4,000 to Sc. 900; commo
dores. $4,000 to $1,000; captain, 49, 800 to
$4,000; commanders, $4,000 to 5 $500;
lieutenant commanders. $1,000 to $4,000;
ii~eutenants, $1,000 to 900; lieutenants.
junior grade, $1,000 to $1,000; ensigns.
$500 to s1,4O0; naval cadets, $500 to $3.50.
Contrary to the general popular no.
ion, naval officers clothe and feed them
selves. They also house themselves, ex-
cept when On board ship or when sta
toned at a navy yard where quarters
are provided. True. they are allowed
cents per diem for their rations.
Furthermore, officers Of the American
navy have to pay out OF their own
pockets for the entertainment, not only
of their own personal friends, but of
officials, the guests Of the nation.
The pay of the enlisted men varies
from 50 per month, received by a third
class apprentice, to $40 per month.
which is the compensation Of a chief ma
chinist. An Ordinary seaman receives
$40, a seaman" $24 and a "landsman,"
who Is an unskilled recruit. SIG per
month. Men in the artificer class, such
as blacksmiths. electricians, boiler max
ers, etc. get from s35 to $50 per month.
All enlisted men, like officers, receive
their 30 cents per diem for rations.
Furthermore, there is an increase in pay
for each re-enlistment.
One important step, conducting to EN-
cheney, taken by the avy department
during the last year was the ~elevating
Of the status of gun captains, who are
now specially rated as such. with pay
ranging from sS5 to $50 per month. For
merly the gun captain was chosen sim
ply by reason of his rank on shipboard;
that is. no man could be a gun captain,
however good his mark smanship, I'M
less he held some petty office, such as
boatswain's mate, coxswain or some
thing of the sort. Now the gun captain

and he receives extra pay for his quail

Mr.. Hanna is again to be one of the Is
