Very few nations, very few individuals,
live up to their high ideals, but surely
the Declaration of Independence has
been the ideal of our life, and we have
striven to make it more and more real.
Now, government by force is the very
antipodes of this, and to introduce gov
by force over any portion of the
nation is to start the second quarter Of
the second century of our life upon prin-
ciples which are the exact opposite, of
those upon which we have hitherto lived.
1t is one thing to fail OF reaching your
ideal; 1t is an entirely different thing to
deliberately turn you back upon it.
Government by consent and govern
ment by force. no matter how we'll the
government may be administered, are
two essentially a~ntagonistic principles.
Doubtless 40 immediate conflict will fol-
low. We may see a large measure of
prosperity; but are we not sowing the
seeds which in the days to come will
grow UP into a harvest of trouble for
our children and our children's chill
dren?
A necessity of colonia possessions is
an increase in our regular army, and the
first increase proposed is from $4,000 to
Loo 1000 men. 1t is a strange commentary
that at the close of the nineteenth CEN
fury the head of the most arbitrary gov
eminent in the civilized world. the ear

density of the cargo is not sufficient to
load the ship below practicable limits.
The depths of harbors, therefore, will in
luence the density of cargo. A harbor
having only q feet 6 inches depth of wa
ter would not allow a ship of 700 feet to
be fully loaded. 1t has been estimated,
therefore, that increase of size is profit
able, draught being increased proper
tionately with other dimensions, but that
they could not be profitabel under other
circumstances.
SHIP OF FUTURE.
In view of all these facts it is interest
ing to note that the movement for in
creasing the depth of harbors is already
commenced to make itself felt. In sew
eral cities in Europe the matter of deep
ening the harbors has received favorable
attention, and a similar sentiment has
taken a firm hold upon the business men
of New York. In fact, without apparent
effort on the part of the steamship COM
panies, the municipal authorities have
recognized the need of better facilities
n are preparing to furnish them. In
other words, fate seems to have decreed
that the cities make ready for the coming
of the ship of the future.
One of the changes that will do more
than anything to bring about this result
is the adoption of the turbine steam en-
CINE for use on the big liners.
A few years ago the turbine engine

sides all this, the hull itself may be of
lighter structure than is admissible with
ordinary engines owing to the absence of
racking stresses from the machinery.
Mr.. Parsons has already made plans
for he construction of such a craft as
that which he describes, and he has
made elaborate calculations to show the
great difference in weight between the
power-producing machinery of a ship
with turbine engines and water-tube
boilers, and one with ordinary engines
and Scotch boilers.
NEW STEAMSHIP.
The ocean steamship of $4,000 horse
power and 20 knot speed, according to
Mr.. Parsons design, would be 600 feet
long, 63 feet 8 inches broad, AZ feet depth
of hold and IS feet draught. She would
have abun ker capacity for 5000 tons of
coal. Her boilers filled with water would
weigh 1864 tons. Her engines, auxiliary
gear, shafting, etc, would bring the total
up to 1886 tons or al pounds to the
horsepower. In a similar ship with the
regulation boilers and engines, but OF
only $4,000 horsepower, the boiler room
| weights would be 2,225 tons, the engine
room weights 1900, and other weights
305 tons, making in all 1850 or 1926 pounds
for each indicated horsepower.

KISSES COST MORE THAN DIA
MONDS. ~

In Alameda kisses come higher than
diamonds. A kiss in justices scale OUT
balances one of the brilliant white gems,
Fol stealing a kiss in Alameda they give
the thief six months in Jail. Steal a dia5
mond and he will discharge the obllga-
ton with a sentence of SO days. Justice
of the Peace Morris is the originator OF
this unique method of reasoning. The
Justice is partial to kisses; and therefore
places a higher value upo them. !
Kelly, the kisser, was given six months
in the county jail this morning by the
justice for p%urloining a kiss from Mrs.
Isabella Brosk while she vas looking the
other way.
"Ain't that pretty tough for one smack,
judge?' queried Kelly, after he had re-
covered from the shock produced by the
heavy sentence. IT didn't do no harm.
1 jest couldn't help it. I never was ar
rested for kissing a lady before
WELL, you've got what you deserve
retorted the justice. you ought to learn
how to kiss a girl without getting into
Jail charged with battery. kissing a girl
is a serious o%ffense, in my opinion. You
appear to be an amateur at this oscu-
latory game. You ned practice. Read a
few books on the subjest. You'll have
plenty of time now. Six months; no
less"
Lille Donnelly, arrested for stealing
a diamond from her employer, was in
terested in the dialogue between the
judge and the kisser. She had pleaded
guilty to the reduced charge of larceny.

was regarded somewhat as a plaything
to be experimental with but not put to
practical use. Since that time the inves-
LEGATIONS of Charles Parsons in England
have enabled the friends of the turbine
to view matters in a different light. His
experiments have brought the invention
down to a practical basis and If. as he
belives. the engine can be used upon the
big liners the improvement would be an
important one.
In the firts place the steam consump-
ton of a turbine is less than in the or
binary triple compound engines. Then
the weight of engines. shafting and pro-
pellers is under one-half that of ordinary
screw engines, shafting and propellers.
and under one-third that of ordinary
paddle engines of the same power. Be-

, RUSSIAN MINES EXAGGERATED,

United States Consul Holloway at st.
Petersburg has this to say on good min
ing in Siberia:
THE value of Russian gold mines has
been greatly exaggerated. Several ex-
perienced American mining engineers,
who are admitted to be the best in the
world, nave visited Siberia in the inter-
ests of English, as we'll as American cap
~italists, during the past three years and
made extensive examinations of the con-
%ditions, n I have not heard of a single
company being organized as a result of
their reports The mining is almost all
placer, there being but two small quartz
mines in the Uural Mountains, which
are said to be losing money. There is
very little foreign capital in Siberia. No
advantages are offered to or discrimina-
lions made in favor of Americans engage
ing in any kind of business in Russia"

nevertheless an eloquent argument in
faVor OF the adoption of the turbine, pro-
Vided that the experiments of the Eng
lish inventor have not been overesti-
mated, a probability that would seem
extremely remote in view of the fact
that he has been correct in his work of
adapting the turbine engine to torpedo
boat purposes. In fact, many of the best
shiprlng experts today believe that the
general adoption of the turbint for the
ocean craft is not far distant, and they
assert that that day will mark the be-
ginning of a new era in transatlantic
transportation. In other words, that
the coming Of the turbine is the first step
that will lead up to the ship of the fu-
ture, the steamer that will be able to ex-
coed the limit of 40 knots.
