While the members OF the school board
are celebrating upon the best way TO get
our Of their difficulty as TO high school,
the population OF Seattle, which has TO
deal with high school, Is fervenfy WISH
ing that the school board would buy the
county court house, and turn that into
q high school. There would be a certain
loss in the transaction because high
school suitable for present circumstances
could be built for less than the court
house cost, but in the end it would be
cheaper The public buildings are paid
for by the taxpayers but il Is the taxpayers
who use them. and If they are put to a
great expense and loss Of time in the use
Of them they are paying just that much
for their foolish economy. The court house
should be down town and the high school
up town. The taxpayers OF school dis
;rict No. and nearly 50 per cent. OF the
taxpayers of King county, 50 far as the
money contribution Is concerned. are the
same.
The court house would be an almost ever
lasting building as high school and some
day It viii be found necessary 10 have
the court house either nearer the bust
ness center or on street car line. By the
time business has increased sufficiently to
justify this movement, the price OF prop
erty will have gone tip so tina. far more

high school and the cost of the court

II is net necessary that the court house
be on slightly piece OF land. although
high school should be. A court house
could be built on side hill, the chief cor
ven!ence being that /. shall stand close

that the court house Is better located Jus.
now because Il Is equi-dissant between the
Yesler avenue and the James street lines.
IL It were on the line OF either there would
be very little complaint heard
Objection has been raised TO having a
downtown place because OF the ;aii. The
right place for jail is at the top of the
building. There IS much less chance Of
escape. and confederates cannot pass In
files, morphine and tack-knives or reynI-
vers from the sidewalk through the win

Harbor Defense Monitors.
New York Sun.


The four harbor defense mentors au-
thorixed IN the recent navy appropriation

OF the same general type now in service.
Their limit OF cost to 81 80 60 each. ex-
elusive CT armament, must make them in

the MARLBOROUGH class The Puritan dis

Mlantonomoh $3.50, whereas the new ships
viii have only $50 tons displacement,
which Is but 40 ahead OF the Canonicus
class Of the old war monitors lately
brought out for harbor use.
Like these relics OF the 1ss. era the new
monitors are to have but one turret, but in
arHor. armament. speed and every other
element OF fighting efficiency they show
an enormous advance over the old-timers.
Their speed Of IL knots will be far ahead OF
the Miantonomoh's, which has less than
LOO horsepower against their 3.I0. In
deed. the big Puritan, OF over double their
displacement. develops only 3.!oo horse
power.
Again, their proposed mean draught Of
IL feet Is 3iz feet less than that OF any
doubie-turret monitor, and fee. less than
the Puritan's, SO that they VIII be avail
able for very shallow harbors and chan
nels. Even the Canonicus class has mean
draught Of l3iz feet. although so much
smaller. and the Jason class, which dis
places only l.s75 tons. has a mean draught
OF If3s feet. The distinctive iight-draught
quality OF our monitor feet will therefore
ba most strongly marked in this latest
addition to II.
Il does not seem 20 be determined wheth-
er the two heavy turret guns shall be OF
tina Finch or the 10-inch caliore. The
former calihre is found on the Puritan and
the Monterey. but the Miantonomoh class
carry each four 10-inch guns, and these
seem likely to be chosen for the new
group. Besides the two big turret guns
each monitor will have some 4-incl rapid
fire rifles. and also good secondary bat
terry.
Especially noticeable will be the armor.
comprising eleven inches for the SIDES and
twelve inches for II e turret, all of The best
Harvey steel. Even the double-turret MI
antonomoh and Terror have only seven
inches on the sides. and the Aulphitrite
and Monadnock from nine to five inches.
Not one of these four bigger vessels has
as thick armor on he turrets as the new
group.
The four new monitors are not likely, It
Is thought 10 be ready for use before the
summer of 1900. although they can be
built more quickly than the big battle
ships But they viii be welcome whenever
they come. With their freeboard of only
20 inches and their thick plates they Will
present a target at once hard 70 hit and
hard 70 penetrate Their guns VIII be
such as the big battleships carry. and this
present war has once more shown how USE
fsil monitors are, both for defensive and
aggressive work.
