SEA CAPTAIN ROBBED.
Michael Barry and Another Man Could Not Resist the Sight of
 Gold.

Captain L. Dover of the schooner Sa- rah through an injudicious display of his coin was robbed by two men on Second and Hsrrison streets yesterday morning One of the footpads was captured. Dower had changed a s20 gold piece in a barber s shop, where he had been shaved, and af- ter leaving the shop he met Michael Bar ry. a laborer, and another man. Barry asked him for ten cents to get "bracer," and he pulled the change out of his pock- ct The sight of the gold was too much for Barry and he grabbed a 8 gold piece and ran. The other man also made a grab and got about s9 60. Dower pursued Barry and was joined by crowd of small boys. Policeman O'Connor saw the crowd and at Bryant street captured Barry.
 o'Connor took Barry to the patrol box wrists, and while they were standing there waiting for the wagon Barry hit Dower a terrific blow on the nose with his disengaged fist At the City Prison Bar " was booked on charges of robbery and battery. The police know the other rob- Der and expect to soon have him under arrest.

TT WAS PARTNERSHIPS DAY.
Hundreds of Her Soldiers Enjoy a Day at the Park, Cliff and
 Baths

Owing to the fierce wind that moaned yesterday through the trees and foliage at the park and dashed the pillows of the sea into chilling spray at the Cliff House, soldiers and citizens had considerable trouble and experienced some disappoint- ment in the pursuit of pleasure. Not Withstanding the fact, however, that many got more exercise than was neces- sary to health chasing their headgear, none complained. The programme at the park was prepared for the purpose of re- klndling spirit of patriotism in the breasts of those in which it had died and enthusing those in whose breasts it's light never goes out. Uncle Sam's boys in blue were much in evidence, but Ten nessee put more soldiers out skirmishing for fun and recreation than almost all

rs CERvERA AT SANTIAGO DE
CUBA.

1t is three days since the news came
that Cervera's fleet was in the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba, and it has been
looked upon as being in death trap.
But there has been no official conhrma-
ton of this news. Can it be said with
certainty that the Spanish feet is in
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba? 1t
would seem that there has been time
enough to have received official con-
firmation of a semi-official report to
the navy department from "a source
believed to be reliable" If the parties
who sent the information to the de-
partment are in position, as claimed,
to be accurately advised, the navy de-
partment, it would seem, should be in
a position to officially confirm the re-
port If it is necessary for it to be
advised first by officers of the navy,
then it is not so difficult to understand
why the department does not confirm
the rumor. 1t is also possible there
why the department does not care to
confirm the rumor just yet.
There is much doubt in the minds of
the people whether the Spanish fleet
is really in the harbor at Santiago de
Cuba; they most sincerely hope it is.
but there have been so many rumors
heretofore as to its whereabouts that
they cannot help being skeptical about
all runners concerning it, and they
will be about this latest and most inn
portant one until the navy department
confirms or denies it; they
will not be satisfied with any state
ment regarding it that is based upon
information from semi-official sources
believed to be reliable" Against all
such information they place the fact
that the Spanish fleet has been located
at various points at divers times, but
that it wasn't there when wanted. So
elusive has the fleet been that hereto
fore it has been absolutely impossible
to locate it, and it is by no means GER
tain that it is yet located.
If the fleet is at Santiago bottled up,
and the cork is in the bottle, it seems
very odd that confirmat ton of the fact
has not come from Hayti or Jamaica.
There are cables from both islands, and
a boat could easily have been sent to
either place in a few hours. If the
Spanish fleet is not at Santiago it will
be great disappointment to the peo-
pie, and as a result of it they are very
apt to demand that the administration
at once begin the invasion of Cuba,
regardless of where the Spanish fleet
may be or what its purpose.

MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.

San Francisco is very much wrought
up over the question of the acceptance
or rejection of the new charter; there
are many arguments for and against
it. One urged against it by the Chron-
icle is that it confers upon the new city
government the power of creating a
bonded indebtedness of $50, 900, 900. The
Chronicle says that out of a list of 10
Of the principal cities of the United
States, San Francisco is the only one
which has in fact no bonded indebted
ness, while her tax rate is. with eight
exceptions, the lowest on the list 1t
says the city is practically out of debt
today, but let the initiative and refer
endum" once get in its deadly work
and it will soon pile up one as big as
any of its suffering municipal sisters.
The Chronicle concludes as follows:
Under the proposed charter the peo-
pie enjoy the dubious privilege of Gre
ating debt of $50, 900, O00 and the way
has been carefully smoothed for piling
up such an Indebtedness by the provi-
sion which permits any project to be
submitted to a vote of the people on
the petition of Is per centum of the
voters al the preceding election. AS
most property holders know that sigma
lures to petition for almost any pur-
pose can be secured on application, and
as they are also aware that comprehen-
sive plans for expanding the peoples
money always have allurements for a
large class, who think il a fine thing to
put the money of the taxpayer into cir
culation, they may be trusted to set
their faces and cast their votes against
an instrument which makes it as easy
as falling off log to roll up a public
debt of fifty or sixty millions.
There is no necessity to increase the
power of the cities of the country TO
borrow money and pile up debt What
is needed is a curtailment of it and a |
strict construction of the limited power. |
1t is an axiom that the power to tax
IS the power TO destroy: the power to |
borrow is the power TO tax; therefore, |
It is the power to destroy; and destruc-
ton is the usual result Of excessive |
borrowing. The cities of this state are !
weighed down with bonded indebted
hess, and another generation will

PROTECTION AND THE COLONIAL
IDEA.

The prospect of large colonial pos
sessions is as pleasing to many people
as the possession of a pair of red-top
boots is to small boy. The possession
of a colonial empire chow strange and
contradictory it will be for a republic
to possess a colonial empireD Will ne
cessitate a modification of some dearly
cherished economic doctrines, especially
those of protection. When the colonial
empire idea shall have sway over the
land then the home market idea will
have to be put aside, for to the mind
of the genuine protectionist the home
market idea is everything, the world
market idea nothing.
Since Dewey's victory the idea has
suddenly sprung up that the United
States need more room for expansion,
and that we must have colonies in diff
ferent parts of the world to serve as
factories. But will not the competition
of colonies, colonies where the l.west
and cheapest coolie labor is employed,
have just as ruinous an effect as their
competition can have when they are
not American colonies? The sugar beet
interests Of the country protested
against the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands because it was believed their
annexation would mean ruin to the
beet sugar industry. for the reason they
would be as free to compete as the var
ious states of the Union now are. If the
Spanish colonies became American coll
onies through the fortunes of war, will
not all this threatened competition be
increased? The people will certainly
buy in the cheapest markets, and they
will be the colonies. And the influence
of these colonies on the labor market
will be to reduce the rate of wages, at
least that is the theory on which their
and other foreign competition is row
shut out by our tariff laws.
Thus far the colonial empire idea has
only presented itself to the magma i
ton on the grand and splendid side;
those who think favorably of It have |
cited the example of Rome and Eng !
land, but the practical economic side is |
the one that will be presented every |
day, the side with which the people will |
have to live if the country enters on a
colonial policy.

OGDEN STANDARD ON SENATOR
CANNON.

The Ogden Standard urges the DEM
ocracy to take up Senator F. j. Can
non and make him senator again. 1t
declares. enormously. that he has not
only become a Democrat, but a leader
of the Democracy. and an advanced
leader at that. 1t says the Democratic
leaders of Utah object to him being
taken as a leader before ne has even
been in the ranks of the Democracy.
1t then proceeds:
But, then, that objection is only ad-
Nanced on account of pure selfishness.
They should be more magnanimous TO
new converts Why should not the
Democracy welcome a senator to their
party as quickly as a bricklayer or a
hodcarrier? Did not Great Britain
welcome Benedict Arnold into the
British ranks, even though he was a
Drlgadier general, and did they not
continue him in such a high position
IN the army? Arnold was not requested
to step down and become a private sol
der when he was converted to British
ideas.
How does it come that Senator Can
non has become a Democrat, and
Democratic leader, at that, if he has
never been in the Democratic ranks?
When Senator Cannon comes into the
party it will be time enough to well
come him, but it is not necessary for
Democrats to throw aside their party
to welcome him.
The Standard is very unfortunate or
very vicious in using the name and
treason of Benedict Arnold as an ar
gument in favor of the Democrats TAX
ing up Senator Cannon. To call Sena-
tor Cannon q Benedict Arnold is not
the way to further his interests To
do it puts the st. Louis platform and
its gold plank in the place of the pa
triots and the Chicago platform and
the silver men in the place of the
Tories. How does the senator like to
have paper that processes to be for
free silver compare him to Benedict
Arnold?
