PLENTY OF MONEY TO DO BUSI-
NESS.
Tacoma Ledger: One of the standard
cries of the Bryanites in the campaign
of 30 was there was not enough MONEY
to transact the business of the country;
that the volume of money in circula-
ton, restricted as it was, would be stiH
further reduced by the perpetuatlon OF
the gold standard. They asserted that
gold would be boarded and calamity
most dire would result. The cure for
these predicted evils was the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of Is to /. This would set the nlints
at work overtime, turning out dollars,
and, leaving out the question the TACT
that they would be worth but about
40 cents, and that all l0O-cent dollars
would be driven out of circulation, the
financial millennium would come Oh
the same train with these bastard
dollars. Many ignorant and unreason-
ing people were captured by these raj
lacies. They argued that IT there We're
a greater quantity of money IN exist
ence they would stand better chance
of getting some of it, whether they
worked for it or had anything to ex-
change for it; plenty OF money was
what they wanted and they favored
the policy of expansion. IhouSahus
of people who then favored the 10 TO
l policy of expansion have STUDIED the
matter, and with their study and aetual
experience of the past two years, nave
come to see how and where they We're
mistaken. They will naturally be IN
terested in the figures recently given
out by the Bureau of Statistics OF the
Treasury showing the amount OF moh-
ey in circulation at the present time
and that it has more than doubled IN
the past twenty years, without depart
ing from the standard which makes
every dollar in circulation worth IOO
cents the world over, instead OF being
traded for other peoples money, IKE
Mexican dollars, as would have been
the case had Organism been victorious
In the history of the financial affairs
of this country no period has shown d
more rapid growth in the amount OF
money in circulation than in the past
three years. From July /, 1879 when
the money in circulation amounted to
SS1S, 631 1913, the amount in circulation
grew to 81 379, 1854, TO in ten years, and
on April /, 1899 it stood at S1,927,-
SAG, 942. In the last four years the in
crease per capita, including the rapid
| increase of population, has been st,
while the increase in circulation of gold
has fully kept pace with that of all
other kinds of money. The business Of
the country has increased in the past
two years more rapidly than ever be :
fore in our history, and yet the amount
! of money in circulation has increased
more than in the same ratio, so that
there is certainly plenty of money for
the transaction of the business of the
| country, with millions to spare, and
many other millions loaned TO Europe
With a bastard silver dollar which
would have driven gold out of circula-
ton and into hiding, the results, with
the increasing demand for money, are
easy to estimate

3 The nti-expansionists lay great
stress upon the term "a new war in
their assault upon the Government for
continuing the troops in the Philippines
when the ''old war is at an end and a
treaty of peace has been concluded.
That is their mistake. The present war
against. the insurrectionists is part of
the old war. 1t is an essential and nee
essary part of it as long as the rebels
are in arms against our authority. By
the very terms of the treaty We are
bound to pacify the islands and estab-
Hsh there a stable government that re-
cognizes the rights. and guarantees OF
property under the grants and laws OF
Spain. Until that is fully accomplished
and peace secures these rights and
properties, the war is not over in the
Philippines. The conflict with Spain is

The frequency of the explosions at
powder mills along the line of the
trunk railway from Port Costa to
Oakland may very well alarm the pub
lie, since these factories, if not multi
plying, are certainly charging their ca
pacity and building closer and closer
to the tracks of the railroad. For
twenty miles in that section it is prac-
tically a line of powder-houses, nitro
glyeerine deposits and factories, first
one side, then the other of the tracks.
Some of the storage houses of these
close down to the line of rail, so that
in some cases the passengers are
whirled through a village of these in
stitutions Some day that conjunction
tragedies will happen on the line of
powder towns. There will be terrific
explosion at the very moment train
load of passengers is passing, and the
result win be terrible loss of life.
The extension of the factory business
and the very large number of trains
passing over that stretch of track,
more than over any other section of the
transcontinenta1 road, will conjoin to
bring about an awful accident. The
question is a most serious one whether
the manufacturers should not be COM
PEELED to remove their factories over
the hills, and draw away from the great
route for seven-tenths of all the travel
of the State. Powder, nitro glycerine,
guncotton and giant powder must be
made. and within the State, but it was
an error in the first place to permit
the manufacture and storage of these
explosives close beside the most tray
eled roads of the country. Certainly
there should be permitted no increase
| of the risk to which travellers are al
| ready exposed.

1t seems To be authoritative news that
Admiral Dewey is soon to come home.
California will regret to learn, however,
that the Admiral will return to the
United States by the European route.
We had hoped to be the first to welcome
him to home shores. He is to be given
great banquet on his. arrival in New
York. But we presume to think that
this modest hero will far more relish
the simple and heartfelt welcoming of
the people. However, if wealth secs fit
to be lavish in expenditure in honor of

expend at will.

A FOOLISH THOMAS.

Governor Thomas of Colorado has
been making an ass of himself, if in
deed, judging from his telegraphed ex-!
pressions; that required any serious ex-
ertion. He is about to- do something
amazingly brave and heroic He has
resolved to tackle Uncle Sam, to throt-
tie the old fellow, and compel him to
let my people co. The Colorado vol
unteers must come home, and as the
Government does not send them imne
diately, Governor Thomas proposes to
do something savage. This idea of men
wanting to stay and see the fight out is
something he cannot understand. He
says it's a damnable war any how, and
is being prosecuted to maintain policy
that does not meet the approval of his
excellency of Colorado. He has tried
dered home, and all these having proved
futile he will now-but there the tele-
graphic evidence of what Governor
Thomas proposes to do cuts off short

failed it is to be presumed that Mr.
Thomas proposes to declare war against
the United States. In the meantime,
while those of us left at home are fur
bishing up our old guns to go out TO
fight Thomas and his Colorado braves
in an effort to sustain the Government,
it might be as we'll to ask the Colorado
boys what they wish. We have heard
of no murmuring among them. If they
demand their discharges, unquestion-
ably they will get them. From last
accounts the mass of the men want to
see the thing through, and a large num-
Der wish to be discharged in Manila
and not come home for some time yet.
They have their eyes on a good thing
or two out in the Philippines. But seri-
ousiy what a. mantling of shame will
cover the cheeks of the brave mountain
boys in the Philippines when they hear
the story of the buster of their home
Governor.

GAMBLING DEVICES.


Los Angeles Times: What. the differ

something understood. only by a select
few people who are in the business of
governing municipalities. To the plain,
everyday citizen, there is no differ
ence whatever between the two ma
chimes, as a matter of principle and
as the plain, everyday citizen is in the
majority, and as he is the fellow who
supports municipal governments by
paying taxes, it might not be consid
cred improper to consider him for
awhile. The way to consider him and
his great. good is to drive out all the
automatic gambling devices in one

and notwithstanding machines
alike. This is not only consistent, but

sistency. 1t finds, and it does not find
1t rebukes General Miles for telling
what it asserts is not true, yet in the
next breath it declares that the rations
furnished to the army in Cuba and
Porto Rico We're unfit to sustain the
vigor of the soldiers continuously. and
that it is no wonder the men aban-
doned them. It declares that no beef
was chemically treated, but admits
that some of it was fumigated. 1t finds
that General Miles told the truth re-
garding its non-nutritious quality, but
it also denies Dr. Days assertion that
it was embalmed. And so it goes:
everybody receives a. tap or two, the
War Department alone getting off easy.
It is a report that win fall fat in the
public judgment, and will have no
large sympathy among the people. It
is evident that the President thinks it
weak and ineffective, since he has de-
clared that there is no reason what
ever for affecting the standing of Cen
eral Miles. Evidently the President
sees the fun of the situation which
crops out in the finding that General
Miles was indisereet in condemning the
"a tons, and General Eagan was fool
ishly guilty of buying them.

appeared for the complainant. A copy
OF the charges was left with the re-
gents, and Attorney McGovern made an
oral statement. A special committee
Of A. E. Thompson, Oshkosh; Gustav
Wollaeger, Jr., Milwaukee, and J. J.
Fruit, La Crosse, was appointed to in
vestigate the charges.
The charges are that State Superin-
endent Harvey formally approved
circular for teachers institutes con-
tanning an advertisement for a book
publishing house. the American Book
company, known by some as the book
trust" and that such action is plainly
against the law
In regard to the charges, Samuel B.
Todd, formerly of Madison, represent
ing the American Book company, said:
The charges don't amount to any
thing. The pamphlets issued were
put out simply as a convenience for the
teachers. When the history was Sc
lected, it was desired to have some
sort of pamphlet giving the principal
features of the work for the informa-
ton of the teachers, and in response to
this demand, the American Book COM
pany consented to furnish free of
charge such pamphlet. That's all there
is to it,
The normal regents failed to select a
president for the Milwaukee normal
school. The special committee report
ed and asked for further time, and fur
cher time was allowed. This means
that If Prof. Cheever will consent to
remain at the head of the institution,
he will be permitted to do so. 1t is the
desire of the board that Prof. Cheever
remain as executive head for a year or
SO, or until another suitable man who
desires the place will take the position.

VICTOR, COL, DESTROYED.
Fire Consumes the Business Portion of
the Place.

Cripple Creek, Col, August 22.-Fire
yesterday destroyed the business por-
ton Of the city of Victor, causing a
loss estimated at S2,50O,OOO. The orr
gin of the fire is thought to have been
in the Merchants Cafe adjoining the
bank Of Victor. The town, built early
as camp, was largely of pine tim Der
and burned like paper. Efforts were
made to stop the progress of the flames
by blowing up the buildings, but they
were in vain. Among the lost build
ings are the bank Of Victor, postoffice,
Victor Banking company, Western
Union Telegraph company, Colorado
Telephone company, Hotel Victor,
three great shaft houses Of the Gold
Coin Mining company and ore bins of
the Florence & Cripple Greek depot
and depot Of Midland Terminal road.
A train from Cripple Creek took three
companies Of firemen, all Of whom
worked all afternoon in a vain en-
deaVor to check the fire. The resi-
dence portions suffered comparatively
little, but the business portion is par
alyzed.
