The American nnvy ns It Is Is n hint
of what the American nnny ought to
be.
The Men WIto Man Our Ships.
A reading of the graphic story of the
f-at of Lieutenant Motion and his sev
en companions on hoard the Mcrrimac
will have a wholesome effect upon
American patriotism.. The charge of
the Light Hiigade, so fittingly com
minorated in Tennyson's inspiriting
verse, was n dash In the open, with
sumo chance uf escape. Kven the dat
ing exploit of CusVIng was performed
in the night-time, when the objective
new was asleep.
Hut Lieutenant Holxon chose a role
tint seemed to innlt" death an Inevlta
113 climax.; He (I'd with the unpro
tected collier Alerrlmac what even our
steel clad battleships dared not at
tempt; he rode straight throi'cjh the
torrent of shot and shell, over torpedoes
and mines, Into the neck of the bottle
like harbor, and there anchoring dell
nntly until hi?, ship swung crops-wise,
himself touched the button which sent
the JTerrimae to the bottom and coolly
I'owed away toward the Spanish 'lag
hhip, upon which he and his seven gal
lant companions found shelter as pris
oners of war.
Tt Is infinitely to the -rodit of Admiral
rvrvera and the Spanish navy that
this unexampled heroism was rewarded
even by the enemy's applause and Unit
It was luter acknowledged under a flnst
of truce by a tender of "xehnnge. This
fine exhibition of Spanish manliness is
as fortunate from a diplomatic stand
point as It was creditable per se It
proves that not all Spaniards are Wey
lem. and that In th much-abused liv
eiv of ripaln theie nn some servants
et worthy of American respect.
As for the Yankee sailors who dared,
their spirit H but the spirit of all the
men who man our ships, a spirit that,
despite the odds, makes ours, so far as
it goes, the best navy nfloat May men
like this soon have ships to match In
numbers and perfection of design the
qualities of the Yankee crews.
Poultney nigelow writes to the Lon
don Times that the management of
our army Is far Inferior to that of the
Herman aimy. Possibly; but It Isn't
nice hi Poultney to parade the fact
before nations none too well disposed
toward the I'nlted Ptateo at best. His
critical exuberance should be tempor
arily, suppressed.
The Gubernatorial 5ltuat;on.
So far ns the politicians are con
cerned the nomination of Colonel Stone
for governor has produced less dissat
isfaction than was anticipated. No
lie publican newspaper In the state
within our knowledge has bolted his
candidacy; Magee and Martin are In
line for the ticket, and even John Wnn
amaker seems more bent on scalping
Quay at the next legislative caucus
th.ni on running for governor as an
Independent candidate. It Is probably
fair, therefore, to assume that the head
of the state ticket will bo supported
this fall by the nctlve party workers.
tho men who make regularity In party
affairs a watchword, with as much
loyalty and effectiveness as will the
admittedly popular remainder of the
ticket, whoso triumphant election no
one questions.
Straight party men who are not prl
niHiily politicians, but who are com
monly designated as the "rank and
file," will undoubtedly support the
ticket on the ground that It Is fully
hs fjood us any gubernatorial ticket
within their recollection and therefore
nut a proper target for Invidious at
tack. This element In Pennsylvania
politics Is not so numeious ns It once
was, hut It yet constitutes more than
50 per cent, of the noting population
classifiable as Republican. When It Is
entliusla:itlcally rallied by the party
workers It constitutes a political bul
wark needing very little reinforcement
to dotermlnu the outcome of tho battle.
The Independent element have not
yet Indicated their attitude and prob
ably will not until the linos of the cam
paign aro uioio clearly and broadly de
fined. It I jlkely that Dr. Swallow will
uc'i n Jmii vol In jinv vpn. partly
on religious grounds, nnd It Is possible
that an Independent Hcpuhllcan candi
date could also secure a considerable
following, although thnt would depend
largely upon developments yet to be
reached. Hut unless the Democrats
agree among themselvc-s upon a clean,
ro.qpertnide nnd not offensively partisan
i.wn like I'attlson nnd run hlin upon a
pint form emphasizing state and exclud
ing national l.'fues which Is a consum
mation hardly to be expected under tho
cxlftlng conditions of factional demor
alization In that patty the Incentive
among Independent llepuljllcans to bolt
v ill scarcely le of sutllclont strength to
give Colonel Stone nnd frlumlH great
uneasiness.
Tl.elr best plan Is to mnke a hold
fight, stand unflinchingly for Republi
canism and trust to the people to pass
a ratlsfactory judgment.

Colonel Stone's Platform.
"It will be my purpose when elected
to so conduct myself as to w'ln the re
spect and good will of those who have
opposed me us well as those who have
given me th'ir support. I shnll be the
governor of the whole people of the
state. Abuses have undoubtedly grown
u in the legislature which are neither
the fault of one party nor the other,
bu rather the growth of custom. Un
mecssiuy Investigations have been n't
thoilzed by committees, resulting In
urnecesxnry expense to the state. It
will be my care nnd purpose to cor
net llvse and other evils In so far ns I
have the power. It will be my purpose
while governor of Pennsylvania, as It
has bmn my purpose In the public po
sitions that I have held, with Clod's
help, to discharge my whole duty. The
people rue tjreater than the parties to
vhlc li they In long. I am only jealous
of their favor. I shall only attempt to
win their approval and my experience
has taught me that that can best be
done by an honest, modest, dally dis
charge of public duty."
"When the war Is over the American
people will have several things to hay
to the hayweed statesmen whose small
potato Ideas permitted this Imperial
nation to fall so far Into the rut of
mllltnry unpreparedness that nlght-and-day
energy plus unlimited money
nnd credit are still unable to get it
out.
The Reality of Money.
A few days ngo The Tribune pro
pounded the thesis. What Is money?
Wo endeavored to recapitulate briefly
Its more obvious functions, and the
scientific basis upon which it rests and
acts as a measure of the relative vnlue
of commodities and the products of
labor in nil civilized countries. 'We did
not, wo need scarcely say, seek en
lightenment on the subject from the
Scrnnton Times. We would have been
ignorant alike of Its past financial
policy nnd of human nnture had we
done so. Neither did we write for the
special delectation of the editor of the
Times, although b(. calmly assumes
that we did. This Is n world of In
tense Philistinism, and no profession
wholly escapes the taint, nlthough we
are ready to believe It Is less rampant
nnd less manifest In journalism than
anywhere else. Our object In dealing
with a problem so abstruse and In
tangible as the intrinsic reality and
functions of money was lucid and com
prehensive enough not to be mistaken
by any man of ordinary Intelligence.
We wrote in order to encourage tho
friends of sound currency to persist
In influencing public opinion on tho
organic and constructive conception of
finance by studying the problem as it
presents Itself In one of the great sub
divisions of political economy nnd In
fluences all branches. It cannot be
other than Interesting to make a study
of the money question, Its nlms and
Instruments. This Is something very
different from putting a suppositious
question to a contemporary and receiv
ing us an explanation a didactic for
mula extracted from the works of a
professor of political economy. Any
argument which the Times has brought
forward to holster up the Populist con
ception of money only confirms us In
our belief of Its bedlamlc phnntasy and
mental obfuscatlon. Although, like so
clallsm, the financial heresy of Mat
money has been widely disseminated,
yet we are convinced that It has not
taken deep root, and that It will slow
ly but surely be eradicated by the good
sense and progressive Intelligence of
our countrymen.
We will be told that six millions of
the American people voted for W. .1.
Hryan nnd gave adhesion to what his
name and his principles stood for. Wo
are aware of the fact, and It would
be disquieting did It represent nn Iso
lated phenomenon unprecedented in
tho history of politics; a revolutionary
project which endangered the stability
of the government and the happiness
of those very people who were ready
to hand it over to' anarchical experi
ment on the supposition that having
nothing to lose or relatively little, the
substitution of one standard of money
for another. If It did not prove to their
advantaije, could not certulnly tuke
place greatly to their disadvantage.
Actuated by somewhat ulmllar selfish
motives the French burgeolslo pretipl-
tated the Revolution, under the belief
! that If tho old nobility were dissolved
or banished they would sharo In tho
properly confiscated by the revolution
ists. Never was confidence more mis
placed. While a largo proportion of
the nobles managed to escape, It waH
the blood of the bourgeoisie which fell
In cataiacts from the scaffold. In all
Instances qf which we hold record
where the finances of n country fall
Into disorganization nnd discord the
first to suffer nnd the last to recover
from Its baleful effects wero tho poor
and the workers
It may bo well to remark here that
any theory which conflicts with the
prepos?t'Ksoiis of our contemporary Is
"nonsense." He seeks to veil the In
consistency of his position and tho In
conclusiveness of his arguments by
jejune observotlons or rusty hyper
hole. Ho covers tho sober, logical and
original tnpdltnitnnn of an opponent
with vulgar ridicule, which harms no
one but himself. He nuoten Professor
Walker, nnd holds his definition of
money ns conclusive. As a matter of
fact In this extract Professor Walker
explains the function of money nnd
reduces It to u format proposition or
axiom of political economy. It no more
explains the genesis of money than tho
proposition thnt two nnd two mnkes
four explains the genesis of mathe
matics. The Times says thnt Aristotle mora
than two thousand years ago said that
money was the creation of the law.
Aristotle said nothing of the kind.
Aristotle won n man of rommon sense.
His knowledge of what constituted
money Is as profound and applicable
todny ns It was on the day It was
written. Ho never postulated that
money woh the creation of law. The
sago distillations of the mind of tho
great Ionian philosopher will not blend
with the nmorphous hallucinations of
theorists who hold that wampum nnd
beads nnd cowerle shells, clumsily nnd
laboriously performing the function of
moni'y In n barbarian state of society,
are money In themselves, ns civilized
Minn understands nnd employs It. If
during a period of social convulsion
or fiotn other causes the Inhabitants
of a country are reduced to make cod
fish and musket balls nnd tobacco pass
as currency, that does not signify that
these artfcles of commerce are money,
the money of commerce. Hecause
Nebuchadnezzar lived on grass. It does
not follow that the natural food of
mankind Is pasturage. Money nnd
finance in all forms, divisions, in
terchangnblllty nnd ramifications fol
low and are governed by natural laws.
These laws are definite and Invariable.
Statutory laws can pervert and out
rage these natural laws, but they can
not change them they cannot annihi
late the greatness and energy of na
ture. That It should be given out at
the end of the nineteenth century that
money is the creation or flat of gov
ernment is one of those degrading
superstitions in which a considerable
part of mankind Is still kept In bond
age. Tho Mugwumps owe nn apology to
Senator Morgan. For ears they have
been holding him up to execration as
the ultra-exponent of Jingoism; yet
here he l with nn argument against
the adoption of a colonial policy that
couldn't have been more temperately
written If Richard Watson Odder
himself had formulated It. He wants
I'ncle Sam to get coaling stations
wherever he can, but he docvm't
approve of adding to our territory as
a permanent possession any Island or
group of Islands whose Inhabitants
are by race and status unfitted for
ultimate Incorporation among our citi
zenship, nnd as usual on matters of
foreign concern, the senator fiom Ala
bama Is not far from right.
General Agulnaldo, the Philippine In
surgent leader, has hustled together an
nrmy of 2,r,00 men within two weeks.
General Agulnaldo wears his hair pom
padour, according to contemporary
chalk-plate portraits, and Is said to bo
as unscrupulous as a Tammany poli
tician In affairs of state, but he has
certainlyt set a pace In the way of
mobilizing troops that few generals
can equal.
It looks as though the war between
France and the t'nlted States would
be confined to the pages of a very few
yellow Parisian journals.
If Spain realizes that she Is licked
why does she continue to accumulate
misfortunes? It will only alienate
rational sympathy.

Sfaf? Press Upon
Convention's Work
John Wnn.imakir, In Pittsburg Dispatch.
I never doubted that V. A. Stone would
be nominated at the convention. Kvery
body knows it was u packed, purchased,
prctendedly instructed convention, nnd
like a loaded gun, could lite but one ball.
From the Hazletnn Sentinel.
Colonel Stone, the gubernatorial nomi
nee, Is not responsible for the perilous
conditions which surround the situation.
He did not cieate them. There Is noth
ing In Ills pcrx rnlit or In his publlj
record to cause Republican dlHlntcgra
lion. Ho Is a gallant soldier and a gen
tleman of blameless reputation and of
admitted ability, but months igo his con
test for gubernatorial honors ussuined a
distinct factioi nl attitude that ha.4 mado
him the objective point of a profound
and widespread ieolt. It is our hope
thnt methods will prevail which will end
the revolt at Its Inception.
From the Lebanon Report.
Colonel Stone's success may have been
due to mihiue methods, or may be tho
result of hard, unflagging work on the
part of the candidate and his personal
ft lends. The question Is cne of fact to
bo determined by the people at the polls.
From the Philadelphia llulletln.
The refusal of the convention to make
the nomination of Colonel Stone tor gov
ernor unanimous Is ominous. It will be
followed by a similar and larger refusal
In the rank and file of the party. It Is a
nomination which will put Its supporters
outhedefei slve firm the beginning to tho
end of the campaign. Theto is no doubt
that it will be mrtre bitterly opposed than
nny gubernatorial iirmlnatlon the Repub
licans of this Mnto havo ever made.
From Chamliersburg Public Opinion.
Colrnei Stnuo will mrke a good gov
ernor. Ilo has back of lilm a record for
which ho need offer no apology and
which Is a guaranty that hf will admin
ister faithfully the trust the people will
commit to his bands. He lacks none of
tho qiiallllentlons of a governor. Nxperli
enco In public affair, familiarity with
the needs of tho state, sturdy Independ
ence, knowledge of tho right and tho
strength to enforce It alwnvs. a soldier,
and cognizant of the needs of our sol
dier Iiojh who are enrolled for the war
against Spain, a foe to the illiterate for
eign Immigrants, and the defender of
Pennsylvania's worklngnien against tlnir
cheap Inbor and their anarchistic teach
ings, and his never-f ilterlng Republican
Inn all tin so make him a candidate who
will have the hiipport of his party In No
vember. From tho Pittsburg Dispatch.
Wo do not depreciate Colonel Stone's
estlmnble personal character. Wo have
no Intention of denying the popularity
that mny partially enable him to bear
tho load under which he enters Into tho
campaign, But neither popularity nor
chnrsrtcr ran overshnrlow the fact ibHf
ho stands ns tho candidate of political
organization which, having undortnkrn
reforms nnd pledged Itself to their per
formance, coolly turned the whole plat
form nnd pledges Into a Jovial bunko
game without even the pretense of un
apology.
From tho Lancaster New Krn.
Now thnt the next buttle must be fought
with the common enemy, family dlssuti
slons should cease. It Is ramurkablc as
well ns a giatlfylng fact that through
nil the hlttmncM of the late canvass not
it word was said or printed dctogatory
to the public or private character of Col
onel W. A. Stone. The opposition to him
was based solely on the fear that ho
would be controlled by tho men who de
manded hln nomination and who tesorted
to doubtful means to accomplish tt. On
the other hand It should not bo forgot
ten that Colonel Stone In tho earlier
singes of IPs canvass had, by his per
sonal force, mnde hlmelf so strong ns to
he able to tnnlntnlu the lend, which he
held from beginning to end.
From the Lancaster Kxnmlner.
It was machine methods and the ntlto
cratlc fiower of one man which have pro
voked so much resentment throughout
the state and which may lead to a serious
revolt. Kvcry one knows how Colonel
William A. Btuno was nominated, and so
men will think and feel as they are for
or against the machine. That dissatis
faction will bo wide and profound need
not be denied, and If the head of the
ticket Is chonii It will bo under the pro
tests of thousands or because they have
nothing else to do but support the regu
lar ticket.
Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
So far ns personal merit is concerned,
the ticket is altogether respectable.
Colonel Stone's individual record Is hon
orable and Inspiring, and his traits of
character exlrfblt those warm nnd genial
qualities which evoke personal good will
and friendly feeling. If tho governor
ship may be regarded ns a reward of per
sonal desett, it will bo worthlli be
stowed upon Colonel Stone. Considering
It as a base of ndmlnlstiatlon, however,
It Is omposslble to legard candidacy lor
the olllce In other than a representative
character, so that tho amiable qualities
of the candidate are Insignificant as com
pared with his political attachments nn t
surroundings. In Cob nel Stone's case
these are not such as to satisfy public
sentiment.
From the Allegheny Record.
Colonel Stone Is a man of brain, dignity
and Independence, and will carry all those
traits Into the gubernatorial eillilr. lie Is
safe, sound, eonsei votive and will havo
the contldenoo of the pecple after, 4s well
as before, election. Ills victory Is well
de-served. Ho made a noble canvass,
went directly to tho people, laid his rec
ord before them, and thus secured
enough delegates to win. And win lie
did. without deals or concessions. He
made his own light, to him belongs tho
laurels. Colonel Stone will be elected by
u sweeping majority.
From Hyde Park Courier-Progress.
Colonel W. A. Stone, of Allegheny
county, won the nomination for governor
at the Republican state convention
through a fusllaile of lire that few men
could have stood up under. This Indi
cates Colonel Stone's great Individual
strength. He Is the kind of a candidate
that will now grow stronger as he is bet
ter known. Ilo Is an able man; he has
had extensive experience In public nffalrs
and a recoid for honi'sty that has not
been assailed, embittered as was the re
cent campaign.
THE COMMERCIAL FACTOR.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Casting sentiment aside, and looking at
the war between Spain ami the- I'nlted
States from a business standpoint, tho
powvrs of Kiiropr cannot fall to sou that
their Interests lie In maintaining an atti
tude of neutrality, or, if they take sides.
In favoring our cause rather than that of
our adversaries.
o
The total trade of the t'nlted Stales for
the fiscal mi which ended June 2", IS'17,
with the countries named below amounted
In value to the sums following:
(Heat Hrltaln l.ac.4L
(.iermany 21I.W5.IjS7
Franco U1.17.Si2
Italy 40,415, 11 J
Itussla 10,703,021
Total Uj.-i0. 141.073
The annual trade of Spain with the same
countries, as dhuwn hi' 'he yearly aver
ago from 1S.'iO to lSiti. Is as follows:
Great Rrltaln $9,473.5fl7
Ocniauy 7,ljs,"s:i
France OS.ol'i.W
Italy 5l7l.'il9
Russia 5.571.IW3
Total HS5,VJii.!"U
o
Thus the commercial exchanges be
tween the'se live nations anil the T'nlt-d
States are about sx times as great as
between the same nations nnd Spain, and
this Immense- preponderance should and
doubtless will prove a peisuaslve argu
ment If n point comes when F.uropo must
definitely eUtcunlnc whether she is lor or
against us. In printing these- figures wo
have availed ourselves of i. compilation
maele by the Philadelphia Record, which
paper gives tho following additional
facts- "As to the Spanish colonies, their
trade- with continental Kurope, exclusive
of Spain, is comparatively Insignificant.
Cuba has long been practically a com
mercial dependency of the I'nlted Stales;
and of the foreign trade of the Philip
pine.', which amounts to about WI.OOO.WJ
per annum, over $17.000,lHW is with Gr-:it
Ilritaln nnd the I'nlted States about S.
fdO.uiK) with Spain and $1,500,000 with
China and Japan-leaving barely $l,0ro,wo
for the rest of the world."
o
Great Rrltaln Is already with us In
spirit, not only from commercial mo
tlves. but from a conviction that the
Anglo-S.ison nice must stanel together
for Its own Interest!) and for the good of
the world. The other nations cannot af
ford to be against ns; nnd, even If their
passions and Jealousies should get tlv
better of their business sagacity, they
would not bo able to prevail against an
ulllnnce v hleh Is already a moVcnlltv
nnd which Is certnln to develop Into
se metblng more substantial If the oc
casion slia'l arlse Rut this contingency
is not imn.odlarHv probable. The Inter
national account books present cold facts
thnt should appeal strongly to tho sober
Judgment of continental Rurope.
