When the naval appropriation bill
was passed by the house it contained
the largest appropriation, seO,Ss7,-
SlssL ever made for the navy. The
senate committee on naval affairs add
ed $2.sEl, 10000 to it. so the aggregate
carried by the bill. when passed. was
Ss2isS,slsS7. Fifteen years ago, in
1855. the naval bill appropriated only
slSO7G GSsLs5. or less than one-fourth
Of the present appropriation while ten
years ago, in 1891. the appropriation
was only Ssi.lS6.0S5.5S. while five years
ago the navy was considered very
lucky and congress very extravagant
TO appropriate s2s,4ls,245.Sl, These
appropriations were wrung from menu
bers of congress with the greatest diff
fieulty. Members from the interior ar
gued that the navy was not necessary.
and one Indiana representative ex-
planned his vote against the naval bill
by saying that 95 per cent Of his CON
stituents had never seen the ocean.
Since then We have had a war. in
which the navy won glory and showed
its utility. Now, the men from the in
terror vie with those from the coast in
praising our navy and urging its en-
largement. War has educated con-
gress, as it has the people. and the
navy and naval appropriations are
popular.

the PRICE OF THE populIsrs
Chicago Times.Herald,

Chicago Times Herald,
The nomination of Bryan and TownC
by the populist national convention AT
Sioux Falls has the effect OF con.
verting the AFFAIR at Kansas City into
mere political side show. The per
formance in the main tent has taken
place. 1t is true that the crowd at
Kansas City will be a great deal larg'
er. but 1t cannot be denied that the
populst convention was peaee-mak-
er. 1t not only presents the candi-
dates for the Kansas City convention
but it passes up to that body COM
prehensive and brilliantly contrived
plan for reoreanizing the universe
which the Bryanites cannot reject or
improve.
No man can fathom the entire popu-
list scheme for repeating the laws OF
nature, but so far as the finite mind
can so 1t is plainly obvious that the
populist plan oontemplates a complete
reversal OF the present order OF things
and that nothing that nature has done
in the last six thousand years is sat
isfactory to them. So far as the de-
mands for radical changes in economic
law are concerned. 1t cannot be denied
that their program is entirely imprac-
ticable or inconsistent. 1t is useless
to analyze all their denunciations for
the reason that they "denounce" spe-
cihcally and in detail everything that
now exists. But 1t is interesting and
Instructive to listen to their plaintive
vail over the striking down OF the
"greenback" and to their plea for gov
ernment ownership Of railroads and
public utilities. It might be asked:
How is the government to acquire
all these railway properties?" The
answer is plain in the light OF the
populist platform. Simply print green
backs or paper money and coin sill
yer dollars until money enough has
been manufactured to buy the
railroads. The whole thing is very
simple. Government ownership Of ey-
erythlng is not a diff :ult problem for
the populist mind. Once started the
government printing presses need not
stop until enough paper money has
been turned out to buy everything that
is now controlled by Individual or cor
porate enterprise and ownership. The
populist plan does not contemplate
confiscation. Not at all. II proposes to
pay as it goes and expects the regular
discount for cash.
The more glaring absurdities in this
platform must be embodied in the
Kansas City platform. There is no es-
Gaping it. 1t is the price that Mr..
Bryan must pay for the votes Of the
discontented, disgruntled. disappointed
classes-the people who believe that
poverty can be obllterated by repeal
ing the laws Of nature. And the price
must be paid. for the pops can truly
claim to be the original and genuine
without whom Mr..
bryan could not hope for success.

FAMINE-sTRIcKEN INDIA.

1t appears from an English publica-
ton that by the middle Of last Febru-
ray there were 100000 people in In
dia who were receiving relief from the
government on account Of the famine.
The record far exceeded that of the
winter of 1896 and 1897. when the re-
cipients of state aid numbered about
100000 up to the same date. But la
ter in 1897 this number was raised to
4,25O.OOO the maximum being reached
in June, and as that is the month Of
greater destitution it is thought likely
that owing to the probable increase
in the rate the figures this year may
amount to the enormous total of TO-
100000.
Heavy winter rains would have
changed the situation completely, but
there was a drought to begin with and
then only light showers. This lack
Of water supply is felt first in the
direct loss to the soil and second in the
drying UP Of the sources Of artificial
irrigation. There is no possible remedy
save in the exercise Of charity upon
the grandest scale.
The whole territory that is imme-
diately affected embraces about 800 900
square miles. and contains a popula-
tion Of some forty millions. There is
besides an outside area Of $4,000 square
miles which is now threatened, and
in this district the population amounts
to 2l,OOO.OOO. Estimates of expenditures
on account of the famine for the fis-
cal year ending March 81 are from
s1O,OOO,OOO to s15.OOO,OOO Should the
gloomiest anticipations be realized the
sum must be more than doubled by
the end of June.
The government is finding increas-
ing difficulty in it's work owing to the
gradual breaking down Of caste pride
under the influence of continued re-
course to state aid. Formerly many
of the people preferred to suffer in 81
lence rather than to expose their pov-
erty but it appears that the force
of example has been too strong for
them and that now help is sought by
persons to whom it is not an actual
necessity. This is a familiar feature
OF such conditions everywhere, and it
calls for added precautions against i'm
posters without in any way diminish
ing the obligation TO provide for the
starving millions.
Another complication in the present
is the plague, which has ad-
ded much to the burdens Of govern
menr, and the spirit in which these
disasters are met is luminous revel-
alton Of the value of British rule in
India. Under the native princes the
people would have been left to die like
insects, while now every resource of
modern civilization is strained to save
hem.

suppose it Is true, according TO the
plea Of the West shore Mills Company.
that II is now more difficult to operate
it's electric light plant at profit than
formerly. what has that got to do with
the merits Of the city councils re
1ection of its demand for a contract at
higher rates for street lights than was
paid last year? Certainly the city Of
Astoria is under no obligation to re-
imburse the stockholders Of that COM
pany for losses due to bad Judgment
in the purchase or management Of lis
machinery or from any other cause
whatever which may tend to impair
the income from its property. 1t is a
straightout business proposition which
presents itself to the City council. The
question is, shall the city Of Astoria
pay more for its electric lights than
the service is worth, or shall the city
avail itself Of its power TO supply its
own lights. at a greatly reduced cost,
as compared with any price the electric
light company has or can agree TO
furnish them for? The city OF AS
toria is not bound to support the cleo
trio light company and pay it such
profits as viii suffice to satisfy its
owners and managers as TO the income
and salary they feel that they ought
to obtain from their investment and
labor. 1t is certainly no more the
duty Of the taxpayers Of Astoria to
bolster up the declining business Of the
West Shore Mills Company than that
of any other similarly unfortunate in
dividual or set of individuals in the
community. If they can no longer do
the electric lighting business at a
profit. let them go into some other
line Of trade or occupation. The city
council has decided that the finances
OF the city cannot afford the tax which
the electric company sees fit to as
sess as the cost Of its service. In
reaching this conclusion the council
has exercised a judgment and per-
formed a sworn duty that belongs to
the Office its members were elected to
fill and which is not open to debate
or argument with the West Shore Mills
Company or any of its representatives.
II that company cannot furnish lights
for less than its present offer, that is
not the councils fault. nor that Of
the taxpayers of the city. 1t is the
West Shore Mills Companys misfor-
tune. 1t has been shown that the city
can do better than to pay the price
demanded by that company. Does the
West Shore Mills Company and its
agents imagine that they can hold up
the city Of Astoria and compel its Of
ficers to accede to its extortionate de-
mands simply because of its whine
about the unprofitableness of its bust
ness? The people will not entertain
the claim that they are under obli-
