He Secs Clearly.


Col. weisenburger. of whatcom, after
a period of splendid service in the Phil
ippines, has returned to civil life and
taken up again the duties OF a private
citizen. In an interview. published in
another column, he expresses some in
teresting views on current topics, views
which he has formed since he returned
home and has been able to observe the
trend of events and the conditions
growing out OF them.
Among other things. it strikes him, as
II has struck many other men of intel
hgence like his own. that the silver
question is dead. This Is quite an ad-
mission for Col. weisenburgsr to make,
for he was an earnest advocate of six
teen to one bimetallism in 1896, and
some who thought as he did at that time
stili insist that silver Is the cause OF
supreme Importance and demands at
tention before all else. But facts can
not be ignored and the man OF reason
with an appreciation of the substantial
sentiment OF the people does not allow
himself to be deceived In the current
thought of the country. even IL it does
run contrary to his former beliefs.
AS Col. Weisenburger says, the people
upon two occasions have repudiated the
free silver doctrine as set forth in the
Chicago platform. and it is folly to re-
vive the issue. The predictions OF aw-
full disaster which were to follow Re-
publican success have not proved true.
On the contrary. there were indications
of the beginning of good times almost
Immediately following the announce
ment that unstable currency ideas had
been rejected and that the United
States was to remain in line with the
other enlightened nations Of the world.
In the face Of prosperity returned and
with the improved conditions every
where. 1t Is futile to attempt to aeitate
an issue which Col Weisenburger
rightly classes among the has beens"
There are live topics for discussion
which urgently call for attention, ana it
is far more profitable to try TO solve
the weightier problems which the last
few years have brought forth rather
than waste time in arguing a question
which Col. weisenburger admits is no
longer open to argument
With the silver question dead. politi-
cal parties must take up with other is
sues that have vitality in them. and or
gonizations brought into being with free
silver as the corner stone must neces-
sarily dissolve. while it's former men,
bers scatter to the older parties with
the principles OF which natural affila-
ton may be the most easily formed
Time and the popular vote has settled
the financial controversy, and II may
well be laid aside in favor OF more i'm
portant matters.

KEEP OUT THE PLAGUE.
Rigid Quarantine should BE En-
forced Against Infected Ports.

New York Mail and Express.
The discovery that the germs OF the ou-
bonnie plague, which IL now raging I'm Homo
lulu. were brought into the islands in mer-
chandise from infected ports in the Orient
should arouse the health authorities OF the
Pacific coast cities to enforce still stronger
safeguards against a similar visitation.
Those cities. or several of them. are In d.
rect and frequent communication with Asia
tic ports where the pestilence prevails and
nothing short Of sleepless vigilance will
avail to prevent the introduction OF the
dreadful disease into this country.
The precautionary measures have thus
far been entirely successful. but the pres
ence OF the plague In Hawaii calls for still
more rigid quarantine inspection at every
port on the Pacific seaboard

That II cannot stand before civilization,
and that IL IS destined to perish frorn the

that we do whatever may be done to soften
