STRONG GOVERNMENT.

The Colusa sun" says: 1--WE can
not have a strong government and a
free government at the same time;
they do not go together"-which is H.
logical, dogmatic and timorous. There
Is no reason why a free government
should not be a strong government. If
the right Of self government exists 1t
carries with 1t the right, and power,
and duty TO make itself so strong as
to secure domestic peace, strict enforce
ment of the laws, and maintenance of
such attitude of strength as will com
mand respect abroad and protect our
citizens and their property and rights
in all lands
The voice of the individual becomes
weaker as we become strong" But our
history disproves that dogmatic asser-
tion. The individual right with us is
more firmly anchored to-day than at
any period in our history, and yet the
Government is infinitely stronger than
ever before. The DID, fearful cry
against centralized government has

as that which emanates from our es-

have found that there is no weakness so
dangerous as that which deprives the
central government of power to enforce
the laws given il to execute, and to
stand by the policy that commands for
the nation the respect of other Powers.
A great navy is so far from being an
element Of weakness, that it is now by
all far-seeing statesmen accepted as a
conservator of peace. human rights and
individual freedom
Of course, the misuse Of great power
Is always a menace to freedom. But
what warrant is there for the belief
that great body of self governors will
misuse the power they create? The

THIRTY YEARS.
General" Duggan Goes to Folsom
for a Long Term.

Deputy Sheriff Degan of San Fran
cisco came up last night, en- route to
Folsom with the self-styled General
Spurgeon Duggan, Cornmander-in-Chi
of the whilom Gods Regular Army
in San, Francisco, who was sentenced to
thirty years for criminally assaulting a
little girl named Alice 10y several
months ago.
The child was spirited off to this city
and fell into the hands of the Children's
Protective Society, who then learned of
the outrage that had been committed
on her by Duggan, who was acting as
her protector.
The. Sacramento society took up the
matter at once and sent it's officer, Dan
Healy, to San Francisco with the child
and the necessary evidence to warrant
Duggan's arrest. He was found in his
holiness band headquarters, lodged In
Jail, and subsequently prosecuted, with
the result stated.

MARINE AND BLUE JACKET.

Let there be no more sneering at the
If one asked blue jacket what marines
were made for he would get the reply.
''for jackies to swear at" But the
marine has proved himself to be a
free to confess that the ships police
man is good for something besides
keeping Jack straight on deck and
hunting him up on shore.
theoretically, the soldier on ship
board is simply a policeman; prac-
tically, he has proved that he is a
prime good fighter on his land legs as
well. If he does not fraternize with the
blue jacket, the fault is all the latter's,
since it is realized by the tar that the
marine is necessary to keep him in
trim, and like the schoolboy he does
not love the hand that carries the
rod.
The United States marine, since the
affairs in Guantanamo Bay, has gone
up wonderfully in the estimation of
Jack, and correspondingly the marine
has risen in his own estimation. We
will have, therefore, higher esprit du
corps on the ONE hand, and more readi-
ness of obedience on the other. The
spirit that wins battles and is unf1inch-
ing in the hour of great trial was
abroad among the marines at Guam
tanamo. and the jack tar on ship
board was witness to 1T, and with the
sense of justice that fills the heart of
the forecastleman he cheered his hated
policeman to the echo. Hereafter we
may expect more cordial relations to
exist between the two. Jack will fear
the marine more, but he will also
greatly more respect him, even to ad-
miratior

WHO AFFIXES THE STAMP?

1t is perfectly clear who pays some
of the stamp taxes and very uncertain
as to who must pay the others. OF
course the seller puts on the war stamp
on all proprietary articles he offers for
sale So, too, the seller Of the use of
sleeping car berth must pay the tax
And we assume that the telephone
companies must pay for the stamp re-
quired for their messages.
The drawer will have to stamp the
bank check he draws, but there is a
question as to who affixes the stamp
required on bills of lading, on tele-
graph messages, insurance policies and
similar instruments, for regarding these
the law is by no means as lucid as
. could be wished. AT the East, pending
legal ascertainment of responsibility,
the railroad companies for most part
have borne the tax, but the express
companies have refused to do likewise.
and require those who do business with
them to affix the stamps. In Chicago
the collector has ruled against the ex-
must affix the stamps, but a contest is
made and the case is to go into court.
In New York City the Merchants AS
sociation and the express companies are
at war over this same matter. The
lawyers for the express companies take
the position that the law does not spec
ify whatp party shall pay the tax, there
fore, the companies have a right to
make their customers bear the burden.
The attorneys for the Merchants Asso-
citation admit that the law does not
specify who shall affix the stamp. and
IN this respect the Act is clumsily
drawn, but they claim that as the ex-
press companies are named as the OBJ
1ect Of the tax, the duty is incumbent
upon them to afix the stamp since the
penalty would be inforced against
them -
1t is an open question as to who
should affix the stamp in the case Of
telegraphic messages. The law lacks
precision regarding that duty. But it
Is explicit that the stamp must be af
hxed' and that would seem to carry
with 1t the obligation upon the com
pany to put on the stamp leaving if
between it and its customers as to who
shall pay for it. The peculiarfty Of
the whole matter is that Congress
should have failed to explicitly state
whose duty it is to affix the stamp.

tor of peace and domestic tranquility?
Is freedom promoted by the fear of the
mob? Do not men everywhere more
respect the executive that has the
power TO execute, and what executive
can be better intrusted with great
power than that changeable one, which
is the creature of the self governing,
subject to change by it, and which en-
cages every four years, nay every two
years, in peaceful revolution?
The strong government in the hands
of monarch is indeed a menace to the
individual. The strong government in
the hands of the individual is the guar
antor of his freedom and the protec-
tor of his human rights. Let us not
fear strong government by the people,
but dread strong government by the

THE VESUVIUS.

The guns of the dynamite cruiser We
suvius have an effective range of but
about a mile and a half. The ship
was an experiment. The navy world
stood divided in opinion concerning the
feasibility of such a craft. But she has
demonstrated that her inventor was
long-headed., He has proved that
fixed gun on a floating platform, with
an effective range determined by the
position of the ship at a mile and a
half, is one that is feasible.
We knew before the Vesuvius was
constructed the tremendous efficiency
of shells charged with high explosives.
But the safety of pneumatic discharge
of such shells was the question that
divided naval experts in opinion. Now
it is known that such a ship, well
armored, can creep so closely in upon
an object of assault as to deliver her
quently compensate for the loss of such
a craft.
The pneumatic gun on the floating
platform has, then, proved it's value
to be great. This opens the door of
invention wide for such further i'm
provement as will give US efficiency
at long range, a range sufficiently long
to remove much of the hazard involved
in the ship being compelled, as now, to
lie close in to the object of assault,
and thus expose herself to the plung-
ing shots of land batteries and ele-
waited fortresses
We believe that the necessity we
now feel for such a device will be
filled. 1t will not, of course, be done
in this war, but it will come in due
time and then such cruisers as the
Vesuvius will not have to creep in the
dark and shelter herself along shore
to do their deadly work.

of remedies, which are extracted
from roots, bark and herbs, and
whose excellence has been proved
by their use for hundreds of years.
No minerals are used by us, we thus
avoid the dire effects of poisons
left in the system SO often by the
use of mineral remedies. Our herb
medicines have never failed to cure
any disease that is durable when
taken in time. We diagnose any

Every man who has taken stock in
the popular loan wants his bond paid
in full in as good money as he paid
out to secure it. That is a reasonable,
prudent, praiseworthy and a natural
desire. Thus every man who has sub
scrihed to the loan has become a stu
dent of finance, understanding the full
meaning of national solvency. No paper
promise to pay, no 5O-cent dollars, no
fiat notes will answer for such a one.
He realizes that anything short Of full
payment in as good as he gave would
be dishonesty. He has faith in the
Government of which he is a unit that
it will not prove dishonest; hence he
