MR. ROOSEvELTS SPEECH.

Mr.. Secretary Roosevelt in his speech
the other night in New York, In speak
ing Of the proposition to strengthen the
navy and our coast defenses, and es-
pecially the navy, which is not fully
equipped either by officers or men, ex-
citizens who are constantly doing all
they can to involve the nation in diff
Guilty or war with other Powers, and the
same time object to expenditure to put
the navy into a condition to make it
efficient and guarantee of respect If
not Of permanent peace.
But there will always be such people.
They may be considered necessary, as
a background upon which true patriot
ism may be made to stand out the
holder The truth is precisely as Mr..
Roosevelt put 1t that, 'unintelligent
peacefulness" is despicable. We
would phrase it more strongly than
that. it is little short OF cowardice and
may become traitorous. If we do not
prepare and keep in a state Of prepara-
ton. we may. as he suggested, be placed
some day IN precisely the position Chi
ma finds herself to-day. helpless in our
strength Of great area and population,
but a pignny in ability to defend either.
While II is perfectly true as the Sec
rotary said, that unless we outfit in a
manner to command respect from those
who regard ability to enforce ii as the
only thing they are required to yield TO,
we will suffer humiliation and shame.

There is rumor by wire from Ha-
vana and Madrid that the Spanish are
displeased over the presence of the
ship of war Maine in Havana Harbor.
It is said that her presence in those
waters has given encourag cement and
moral aid to the rebels, and that in
surgent surrenders are less frequent
since her arrival. This story needs
confirmation, but we should not be sur
prised If 1t came in time. The thought
suggested by the incident is that the
friendship between Spain and the
United States just now is very hollow.
and that at the bottom the Spanish are
hating this country with exceeding cor
diality. In the popular mind in Amer
lea the sentiment is returned in kind.
Spain is disliked here simply and solely
because of her conduct toward the Gu
bans. Beyond that Americans look
upon the Spanish Government as un-
stable unprogressive and entertaining
toward the people of the Western Hem
isphere anything but sentiments of
kindliness.

100000 per annum to her currency in
order TO keep pace with the growth
of population, and that this could not be
done except by the free coinage OF sill

subject again he will discover by an
examination of the official figures just
made public that the coinage Of the

was more than double the sum named
as necessary to add to the money of the
