The Wolf and the Goat.

The Wolf and the Goat.
There are still, It seems, a few
wolves In New England. One OF them
got himself curiousiy into trouble near
Talbot, Me-, the other day, as the fol-
lowing shows: "A widow named Siga-
lard was working in a field while her
goat, which Is a large, fine animal,
was grazing a little way OF along the
edge OF the woods. A wolf eprang on
the goat, but by a curious hazard the
goat must have raised it's head at the
same moment, for the head OF the wolf
was caught between it's horns, and
could not be withdrawn. Each beast
pulled In a different direction, and
the noise Of the struggle attracted
Madame Sigalard's attention. She was
TOO frightened to call for nelp, but for
tunately a neighbOr happened to pass.
He held the VOLTS HEADQUARTERS while
the widow stabbed 1t in the side until
1t was killed. The goat since its ad-
venture has been affected with a kind

AMERICAS NAVAL PoLICY.


The United States naval estimates
for the current year are in curious con-
lrast with the recommendations OF
Secretary Long as made during the
winter previous to the outbreak OF the
Spanish war. The Secretary then said,
as the naval development Of the United
States had about reached its limit,
there would be no need for Congress to
provide more than one fighting vessel.
Within six months the Government
was In the market buying ships
abroad and at home and authorizing all
the battleships, cruisers and torpedo
boats which American dockyards and
armor-plate factories would contract
for. At present between thirty or forty
lighting craft are on the stocks and we
have acquired, of late, three coastwise
gunboats from Spain. What Is more.
The House Committee on Naval Affairs,
following the desires expressed by the
Government through Secretary Long.
now recommends two sea-going coast
inc battleships of about 1880 tons,
each to cost approximately $500, 900;
three armored cruisers OF the high
est practicable speed and armament to
cost approximately 100000 each;
three protected cruisers to cost about
81. 141 900 each--an addition to the
powerful war marine America now has
which, Of itself, would make as fine a
dying squadron as either Of the two
that Great Britain assembled when the
Venezuelan incident was fresh. The last
previous Congress authorized about
the same number OF naval vessels and
their construction Is now under way.
Plainly the Government aims to pos
sess a great navy in the sense the term
is used abroad, and though wide differ
enCes exist as to the wisdom OF a iarge

ting the full file. Naturally. the au-
tborIties object on the score OF com
mon honesty with the taxpayers, to
making any such concessions. Besides.
such a move would only cause trau5.e
when the press comes to sum up the
detailed expenditure and compare the
total with that Of the gross appropria-
tions.
There Is but one thing to do AMI that
is to report in full to the taxpayers.
The Minister OF the Interior and the
President Of the Board Of Health long
ago made up their minds about that
and they are not likely TO change them
at the request of people who have
something to conceal.

There seems to have been no excuse
for police interference last night with
the street work OF the Salvation Army.
The cluo-wielders did not attack the
army Itself but they made 1t their bust
ness to dispense the small knot OF peo-
pie who gathered near the corner of
Hotel and Fort streets to hear the ex-
hortations. The captain in charge OF
the religious workers informs us that
not more than thirty persons assembled
and that they did not obstruct the rlgnt
OF way either on the street or side
walk. Yet the police compelled every
spectator to move on and arrested some
OF those who hesitated. Seeing that
the Salvation Army asks no privileges
here which are not freely accorded It In
San Francisco and other Mainland
cities, and that It's work against vice
and crime In Honolulu is supported by
our best citizens, the police would do
we'll to be lenlent with the little street
meetings. A trifle more zeal in looking
for burglars and white mems gambling
games and considerably less fervor In
the work of breaking up religious
gatherings might be becoming 20 the
guardians of the peace.

that any republican shall appear on the
platform for the purpose of asking him
questions. Please communicate this at
once to J. P. Nields. If, however, the

will certify in writing that they desire
Mr.. Bryan to answer the five questions

will take those questions up in his adj
dress tonight and answer them. He
will submit five questions for the repub-

said that he was gaining steadily.
