scHLEY DID NOT DIsoBEY

Admiral Schley's testimony Is clear and positive that he did not disobcy the or ders of the Secretary Of the Navy. Ills dispatch was: 'It Is to be regretted that the departments orders cannot be obey cd. earnestly as we have striven to that end" He did not say Shat he would not or did not wish to obey the orders but that he could not do SO. adding that he had "strlven earnestly" Co do so. Some how. as schley generally thcorizcs, by mistake or mistranslatlon Of the cypher. the dispatch as it appears in the naval records was mutilated. and made to ap- pear as disclosing the fact that Schley had arbitrarily if not contemptuously dia- obeyed orders. The phase about having strlven earnestly was omitted entirely. which proves that it could not have been the mistake for which Schlcy k willing Co let it go. but deliberate and dastard- ly attempt of some one or more connect ed with tee Navy Department Co injurc and ruin Schley. No one. except some malicious enemy. or one stecped In pre- jiidicc against him. doubts the honest old officers word. even 1T it was not spoken under oath.

soUND-'FRIsCo TRAFFIC

The Victoria Times says: Although uo announcement has yet been made that the passenger and freight rates Co san Francisco will. in the near future be cut. there Is every indication of another steamboat war being precipitated. and. if the company now in business again. at tempts Co freeze out an opposition. it will only be a matter Of a short time beforc cheap transportation with places to th South will be provided. All this son lecture. however. hinges on the fact that the Krtse | Inc has decided to operate the steamer John s Klmball. between Puget Sound ports and san Francisco. In 6ppo. sitionro the Pacidc Coast company. The new company has been operating the steamer Czarina regularly for some time, bringing freight from san Francisco Co Seattle and Tacoma and loading coal at Tacoma for the return.

WASHINGTON. Oct 2.-Dlrector Rob erts. of the mint. has prepared a state ment showing the production of the precious metals for the calendar year 1900. It shows that the production of gold In thu, world that year was l2, l57 .2S7 ounces of the value of $s57.5ii.7O0. a loss in value of si9.O7e90 ftum lSSs. The loss was mainly in the Transvaal field and due to the war. The production of South Africa In 1889 was Of the value Of saS.s57.- i0O. and in l9OO. s967i.o0 The principal gains were sS.iiSOo In the United states and S6.Gooooo in Canada. The United States gain heads the list In the United States the principal gains were byfAlan- ka. Arizona. Colorado and Utah.
 g1,o r'iv"r output of the world ar.cu- ed to iTS,7s6Ts fine ounces the largcsI ever known. It exceeds the product ot iSsa by li.57e.5is ounces. The United States again leads all other producer, with slight excess over Mexico. Thee was an important advance In the Dricc of silver during the year, the price rans. ing from 59l cents per ounce In January, to eGi cents In the last month of the year. The chief factor In the rise was the purchases for the account of the Government of India. Silver rupees still constitute the common currency of India and to supply the demand the govern ,nent gives rupees in exchange for gold eovereigns at the rate Of IS rupees to the sovereign. Under thia policy. the gov- crnment reports pn outlay for It's fiscal year ended March 5i, 1901. of e6ia'coc sterling. which. at the average value or the year. would make the purchases amount to nearly sOOoO.oOO ounces. This would seem to restore India to some where near her old position as a ousto- mer for silver
 The production of gold in states and territories producing the laigcat amounts ls estimated by the Director as follows:

AZ " NAANA aA0AAn NUNNa
The first reason why the women
of the United States should be en-
franchised is because taxation with.
ont representation is tyranny The
property right in government has
been the one great principle through
the centuries. Without that prin-
cipie there would have been no rev
olutinn. and perhaps no republic.
The first requisite in government
is money When improvements are
to be made the voters order the
money collected It is manifestly
unjust for certain class Of people
to determine the use of money with.
ont the consent of Il majority of all
those who contribute it
The ballot has been extended
year after year. In many of the
conservative countries Of Europe
and in some of the states of the
United States It has been extended
to women. Spain, Turkey and
Greece are the only countries in
which women have not the right to
vote at all.
There are 379 women millionaires
in this country. In New York
women pay taxes on property as
valuable as all the property in the
whole United States at the time of
the revolution.
When property falls into the
hands of q woman there is no pro
lection for it. She has no vote
with other property owners, on the
taxation of her property. This is
manifestly wrong.
The second reason for enfranchise
nent of women is found in thai
great principle: Governments de.
rive their just powers from the con
sent of the governed" Thoma:
Paine, in that sentence, wrote 6
principle greater than h5 knew
Sooner or later the American people
must come up to this principle.
The police courts and penitentiar
les show that if morality were tht
test we should enfranchise a vas
majority of women, and a minority
of men.
The saloon, the gambling den, anC
the brothel are the greatest enemies
to the nation. Attack one and tn,
others come to its rescue.s
The schools to day have passed
out of the hands of men. In tn
church when all denominations ar
taken together, two-thirds of th
members are women. The churcl
and the school and the philanthrop
ist are three great powers for goo
in the world, and women are stron
in all those branches. Therefor
when our government disfranchise
it's women, 1t ignores those who TAX
the initiative in those qualitie
which are generally conceded t
to be lacking in our government.
