Spain's Adroitness Must Yield
to American Firmness.
Believed that Completion Of the Peace
Treaty Is at Hand.
Spain Pleaded Long and Well But We Take
What We Won.

Washington, Oct. 26.-There are indi-
cations that the peace commissioners
in Paris are approaching the end of the
consideration of the subject of Cuba
and Porto Rico, and officials here
would not be surprised if today's ses-
sion of the commission had concluded
these subjects, leaving the commission
free to take up the disposition of the
Philippines. The Spanish case has
been presented with an ability and
adroitness that commands the admira-
ton of diplomats without regard 10
nationality and even our own officials
have been compelled to yield a tribute
of respect to the arguments produced.
but they have been of no avail in eff
fecting any substantial change in the
first attitude of the American comnnis-
sioners. 1t is expected here that hence
forth, after the courteous intimation
had been conveyed to the Spanish COM
missoners, that it is time to regard the
Cuban and Porto Rican matters as set
tied, better progress will be made to-
ward the conclusion of a treaty of
peace.

THURSDAY. JULY It'll, 1898.
THE Rutland (vt.) Herald refers to

THE Rutland (Vt.) Herald refers &c
the Oregon election and the currency
platform upon which the campaign
was fought and won by astonishing
maiorities as an object lesson in sup
port of its argument that republicans
should stick tight to the gold standard
because it is right and because republi'
cans believe in it and should act &C.
cording to their beliefs" Two years
ago the Oregon Republicans adopted a
straddling currency plank in their plat.
form, drawn to conciliate the silverites,
and at the election lost presidential
elector, got the legislature only with a
majority hopelessly split SO that it
could not elect United States senator.
This year they carried their entire state
ticket by exceptional majorities, swept
both congressional districts and carried
the legislature by a great majority, so
that the election Of Republican sem
ator is assured. And this was their
currency declaration:
We are in favor of the maintenance of the
present gold standard. We are unQualihedly
opposed to the free coinage of silver and to all
other schemes looking to the debasement Of the
currency and the reputation of debts. We be-
Iieve that the best money in the world is none
to good to be assured by the government to the
1aborer as the fruit of his toll and to the farmer
as the price of his crop. We condemn the con-
tinued agitation for free silver as calculated to
jeopardize the prosperity of the people in the
maintenance OF a wise financial policy. We par.
ticularly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts of
the free silver agitators to array class against
class and section against section. We declare
that the interests Of all classes and all sections
of our country alike demand a sound and stable
financial system.

1T is noted by the New York Sun
that, after all our bewailing OF weak
ness, we really have a respectable navy
afioat. Counting GOLFERS and a few
other nOn-cOmbatants there were the
other day no less than 158 ships in
commission. And then we have a
considerable list in course Of construc-
ton. Five first class battleships,
namely, the Kearsarge and Kentucky,
each three-fifths finished; the Alabama,
So per cent; the Illinois, AS, and the
Wisconsin, 3S. We have six torpedo
boats, the Rowan, Mackenzie, Dahl
gren, Davis, Fox and Farragut, all
over four-fifths completed; the sub
marine boat Plunger, three-fourths;
the Craven, half done, and the String
ham, Goldsboroug and Bailey, less ad-
vanced. Authorized but not yet con-
tracted for are three first-class battle
ships, four monitors, sixteen destroyers
twelve torpedo boats and lake gum
boat. And there is the sister ship of
the New Orleans, building for us in
England.

THE total exports from the United
States to foreign countries for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1898, amount to
81 ,23s, 600, OOO-as against 1914, S27, 600
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1897. This leads the silverite Seattle
Times to remark that "when the
United States can export more than
100 per cent in excess of its imports she
ought to be in a condition to have most
any kind of money she wants, and get
along without issuing bonds" The
Times may rest assured that very
large majority of the American people
are fast reaching the conclusion-or
already have reached it = that the
"kind of money" they want is the best
there is, and that the best is gold. And
the Times knows well enough that
there would have been no bond issue at
this time but for the enormous ex.
penses consequent upon the war with
Spain, which even the Congressional
estimates, generally considered too low
at $400, 0OO, 900 for single year.

Contrary to the general public notion,
naval officers clOthe and feed them
selves. They also house themselves,
except when on board ship or when
stationed at navy yard where quar-
tiers are provided. True, they are al
lowed, while at sea, the munificent
sum of 80 cts. per diem for their rations.
Furthermore, officers of the Ameri-
can 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 naeiOn.
The pay of the enlisted men varies
from So per month, received by third
class apprentice, $40 per month, which
is the compensation of a chief ma
chinist. An .ordinary seaman" re-
ceives $40, seaman" $24, and Glands
man." who is an unskilled recruit, SIG
per month. Men in the artificer class,
such as blacksmiths, electricians, boil
ermakers, ETC., get from $35 to $50 per
month. All enlisted men, like officers,
thirty cents per diem for rations. Fur
thermore, there is an increase in pay
for each re-enlistment.
efficiency, taken by the navy depart
ment during the past year was the
elevating of the status of gun-captains,
who are now specially rated as such,
with pay ranging from $35 to $50 per
month. Formerly, the gun-captain
was chosen simply by reason Of his
rank on shipboard; that is, no man
could be gun captain, however good
his craftsmanship, unless he held some
petty Office, such as boatswain's mate,
coxswain or something of the sort.
Now, the gun-captain is the best shoot
er and manipulation of the weapon in
latter's crew, regardless Of his standing
otherwise on board, and he receives
extra pay for his qualities.-Leslie's
