WANT MIR. JENKs,s 10000 JOB.
Senator Coffey Visits Hugh Mclaughlin in
Behalf of Luke ID. Stapleton.

The interest OF the Democratic managers in
Brooklyn Is at present centred in the choice Of
a successor to Assistant Corporation Counsel
Almet F.. jerks. who is to take his place on the
Supreme Court bench in the SECOND district at
the beginning OF the year. The three leading
aspirants for the $4,000 a year berth are VIII
liam j. Carr. Mr.. Jenks's first assistant; Col.
james d. Bell. u former Police Commissioner
and Luke d. Stapleton. the so-called champion
Of the Young Democracy Of Brooklyn. Senator
Michael J.. Cofey is 80 much, interested in
the appointment OF, Mr.. Stapleton that he
went to the, Willoughby street auction room.
whose threshold he had not crossed for a year
or more. to intercede with Mr.. Hugh McLaugh-
lin In his behalf. Senator Coffey has long been
regarded as the most independent DemocEhtic
ehieitain in Brooklyn. and his visit to Wi;
oughby street for an official favor has caused
much political gossip. just as soon as Mr.. Me-
taughiin gets ready to declare, his prcfercgcH
sistant Corporation Counsel. az he desires a
rest before entering on his judicial career.

ana become merchandise. he currsnefet eC on ootfn-
tries .vouid retain their fired relations 10 each other. No
shock OF distress would ensue. no nation would be
isolated or sacrificed. They would be all Together on
q common plane. With n common measure OF value.
These are the considerations which hAvo led many
scientific students OF finance and sagacious publicists
TO favor open mints to both metals nnder an inter.
national agreement. although each IN unalterably
opposed TO such n policy by his own country alone"
Mr.. ROBERTS here confounds. as do most
OF the bimetallists, the value fixed by law
with the value fixed by the common con-
sent OF mankind. No law, even II all the
nations in the world we're to unite in enact
ing It, could override the unwritten law Of
commerce, that the relative values OF COM
modities are regulated by demand and sup
ply, and not by Legislation. To be sure, II
the legal ratio between silver n gold
were very nearly to coincide with the COM
mercial ratio it would seem as IL the law
had established it, but no such coincidence
could be exact, nor could 1t remain for any
length OF time approximately 30. During
the reign Of bimetallism in the Latin
Union, the value OF silver, measured in
gold, frequently varied from that pre-
scrlbed by law, sometimes falling below IL,
and sometimes rising above 1t, and when
the variation downward became very great,
as it did in 1873. the free coinage OF silver
had to be stopped.
All that an lnternational bimetallic agree
ment could effect would be to compel ored-
itors to accept for debts contracted previ-
ousto it's adoption the commercially cheaper
Of the two metals, at the nominal value
fixed for. it. Thereafter, contracts would
be made, STIMULATING the metal to be paid,
and the international agreement would
have no more effect than our law declaring
the paper dollar equal in value to the gold
dollar, or the act Of Parliament declaring
the notes Of the Bank OF England to be as
good as sovereigns. At present, our paper
dollars are really as good as gold dollars,
and a Bank of England note can be con-
verted into gold on demand, and, therefore,
the law appears to be effective; but when
paper and gold were not interconvertible
as they were in this country from 8 8 to
1879 and in England from 1897 to 1923
the law was nugatory.
Precisely what Mr.. ROBERTS means by
saying that even II the commercial ratio OF
silver to gold, under an international agree
ment, should differ from the legal ratio,
the currencies Of all countries would re-
tain their fixed relations to zach other" we
do not understand. II, indeed, silver should
universally drive out gold or gold silver, the
metal remaining in use would be the com
mon measure Of value, but such a common
Measure we have already, and its value is
fixed by an international agreement made
from day to day, not by law, but in the
marts Of the world, which is far more bind
ing than could be any which was fixed only
by a majority vote OF national legislatures,
and which could not be enforced upon a dis
minority by any power whatever.

Cheap at Thirty-six Millions.

The Navy Departments recommendations
for the increase Of our fighting feet con-
template the immediate construction OF
fifteen vessels, thus classed
Three battleships Of about 10, 500 tons,
OF the finest fighting qualities and speed,
estimated at So, 900, 600 each, exclusive Of
armor and armament;
Three great and swift armored cruisers
OF 10000 tons, to cost about -, 900, 900
each, plus armor and guns;
Three powerful and fast protected cruis-
ers OF about 5000 tons, to cost about
So, 1000 apiece;
Six smaller cruisers OF 2, 800 tons, at
$1,141, 800 apiece.
The total appropriation required for the
construction of these ships is only $780,
100, 800. Twice or thrice that sun would
have been voted unanimously by Congress
last April, could the vessels have been OBJ
tanned outright at that time by the expen-
diture Of cash. Indeed, in the days Of I'M
certainty and possible peril, scarcely any
conceivable price for such an addition to
our sea power would have been deemed by
this nation too dear.
There will be no trouble about getting
the money which the Navy Department
wants. Peculiar interest will attach to this
generation Of battleships N cruisers, the
first born of the war with Spain, the first
vessels to be begun since 1.-The supreme
test OF war" to quote the phrase from Sec
rotary LONGS annual report, showed the
world what sort Of men are to stand on the
bridges OF our new sea fighters, and what
sort of men are to be behind their guns.

GRAssFoPPER YEAR.

1t has been almost a quarter Of a
century since Kansas has had a visi-
tation from the Rocky Mountain To-
Gusts, called grasshoppers. Once in
her territorial days, and twice in her
early state history, these red-leggcd
delegations of the land of Egypt
swar1ned over the state. devouring all
before them and leaving their eggs be
hind them. They came in drouthy
years when vegetation in the noun
tain and western arid regions failed
them, and they came in devOuring
swarms. The agricultural department
at Washington has sent out word that
the grasshopper will again make his
appearance this year If he gets TO
Kansas he will find a bellyful of green
stuff to eat. If every hopper was as
big as a goose, Kansas could fill up I'M
told millions Of them with succulent
provender and have fodder to spare
But nobody outside Of the Pop party

FRENCH LITTLENESS.

If Dreyfus was guilty as found by
the secret court, he should have been
shot, as provided by French law. If
he was guilty in any other sense. then
ne was acting in the interest and for
the German emperor. But nobody out
side Of France believes for moment
that he was guilty. He is q Jew. and
the fool French anti-Semites plotted
his downfall England and America
despise the courts Of France for that
unfair trial To the Anglo-Saxon mind
any verdict in a case where the de-
PENDANT is not allowed a hearing is
worthless, but the finding Of the new
minister Of war will probably soOthe
public sentiment in France and popu-
larize the Radical cabinet. 1t is gener-
ally understood that the entente be-
tween Russia and France hangs upon
the guilt Of Dreyfus. The true story
of the treason would implicate and en-
barrass the Russian government. With
vast political influence and anti-Sen-
itic fanaticism both arrayed against
him, Dreyfus' case was indeed hope
less. He may be a traitor, but the
English love Of fair play for the under
dog tends to prejudice American opin-
ion in his favor. The strongest evil
dence against the secret court that con-
lAmned him is the fact that he was not
shot. If Dreyfus betrayed his country
there was no excuse in the world fer
him to live after the proper
proofs had been submitted. If ne were
chosen to pay the penalty Of some one
