Once In a While.
Once in a while the sun shines out,
And the arching skies are a perfect
blue;
Once in a while, 'mid clouds of doubt
Hope's brightest star comes peeping
through,
Our paths lead down by the meadows
fair,
Where the sweetest blossoms . nod
and smile,
And we lay aside our cross of care
Once in a while.
Once in a while within our own
We clasp the hand of a steadfast
friend;
Once in a while we hear a tone
Of love with the heart's own voice
to blend;
And the dearest of all our dreams come
true,
And on life's way is a golden mile,
Each thirsting flower is kissed with
dew,
Once in a while.
Once in a while in the desert sand."
We find a spot of the fairest green,
Once in a while from where we stand
The hills of Paradise are seen;
And a perfect joy in our hearts we
hold,
A joy that the world cannot defile;
We trade earth's dross for the purest
gold
Once in a while.

Dcmnltion Theory.
In the school of political economy
that lias' been created iri the last few
years, to justify republican, policies and'f
republican administration, Mr. John
D. Long, secretary of the navy, is en
titled to a place at the head of the
whole class. He fully established his
claim to this distinction the other day
in a speech that ho delivered at the
banquet' following the launching of
the battleship Missouri. He represents
the political economists who disdain
fully discard all abstractions and
theories ana who pride themselves on
appealing only to facts, conditions and
results. They have .no .patience with
such things as common sense, reason
and lorlc. All that they are partic
ular about is, as Mr. Long most felic
itously and elegantly expressed it, "the
demnltlon total."
Mr. Long took the occasion, very
naturally, to emphasize the need of a
large navy and to defend 'the estimate
of $130,000,000 for the increase of the
present massive establishment. In do
ing this he threw a great light on the
general question of public taxation for
political purposes. He says, for ex
ample, that we can have the big navy,
and that it will not cost us a cent.
His words:
The greatest question of the day
is as to the distribution of wealth.
While few would say that the com
munity should be taxed for the .sole
purpose of distributing the pro
ceeds of taxation, yet it is some
comfort to know that a tax, when
it is laid on the community, all
returns again to it. If ?100,000,000
shall bo appropriated for the navy
by the present congress, a small
part will go for the purchase of
raw material and something for
salaries, but the great bulk of it for
labor in every part of the union.
It is a case where the people can
have their cake and eat it, too;
they can have their ships and they
can have in their pockets the mon
ey paid for building them.
It is true that there are few who
would say that the community should
bo taxed for the sole purpose of dis
tributing the proceeds of taxation, but
it does seem likely that Secretary Lotos
is one of the few who might say it.
This wonderful discovery of Mr.
Long's; by virtue of which an im
provement that is sure to cost us $100,
000,000 when wo begin it, shall not
have cost us a single cent by the time
we have completed it, ought to give
the biggest kind of boom to public
enterprises of all sorts. There should
be no trouble now about getting a
storage reservoir on every hilltop west
of the Missouri river and an irrigation
ditch through every section of land.
It should be an easy thing to lay the
trans-Pacific cable, dig the Nicaragua
canal (providod American laborers are
taken down to the work and brought
back so that they shall spend their
wages in the United States), make ev
ery river, creek and mill pond in the
country free from mud and snags and
thoroughly navigable, and run a turn
piko from New York to San Francisco
And if the people, simply because
the government collects and disburses
money, can do all theso things for
nothing, why the era of public owner
ship and operation of public utilities,
and the era of state ownership and
municipal ownership Is at hand. The
enormous waste and the clumsiness of
the present system is so palpable that
to continue it longer would bo most
foolish and criminal. Here we can
have a gas plant or waterworks sys
tem, for instancer Before a wheel is
turned or a whistle blown the citizens
of the city have not only paid the
whole cost of the thing, but got back
every dollar in their pockets and so
made 100 per cent on the investment.
All after that will be clear gain, for,
of course, the cost of maintenance will
be apparent merely and not real.
After this, Secretary Long goes on
and says something as to how large
the navy should be. Waste of 'words.
If we can buy ships worth $100,000,0.)0
and liave the money all back in our
pockets by the time they are bought,
why not have a billion dollars' wortli
of ships, so that wo can have a squad
ron of ironclads off every port in the
world, and thus put it clear beyond all
question that we shall ourselves never
be attacked, and force the nations of
the world to keep the peace?
Mr. Long ought to do well with a
starch factory or beet sugar plant. He
says:
Of course, it is rather a taking
thing to say as a matter of theory,
as this circular says, that $100,
000,000 for the navy means a tax of
$G on every family in the United
States. And yet, on the other
hand.as a matter of practical fact,- if
that sum is spent, there is prob
ably not a family in the United
States whose future income could
be shown to be $6 less, and there
are a good many families whose in
come would be $6 more, and still
more families whose incomes
would be many times $6 less if It
were not spent.
So the battleship is not simply a
fighting machine, a wealth waster. It
is a wealth producer. Now, if Secre
tary Long can make a battleship pay
dividends, he could make a gold mine
out of a starch or sugar factory.
It is plain to be seen that taxation
has no terrors for Mr. Long. Indeed,
Tie finds in it a secret that nations have
'never suspected. Observe what a mag
nificent and comforting hint he gives
in the following remark:
Somehow, it just now happens
that with larger revenues than we
have ever had before in time of
peace and indirect taxation, there
is more prosperity and more mon
ey in the pocket of the citizen than
ever before. Students may spec
ulate over the economic causes,
but this is the "demnitlon total."
