recently reported interview with ex-Presi-
dent WoOlsey, of Yale College, represents that
gentleman as expressing the opinion that it is
dreadfully dangerous to leave our sea coast in
its present undefended condition.; that We should
have large navy. for home protection as we'll

Is nothing to prevent any moderate naval power
from getting possession of all the cities on our
Sea coast within thirty days after war has been
declared. Admiral Porter is also reported as
saying that the whole of the present navy of the
United States could do no damage to an Ord-
nary English iron clad.-the inference being. of
Course, that we ought to have bigger and cost

fae statements telegraphed from Washington
that the continued Illness of the President is
causing inconvenience in the departments, and,
In fact, obstructing the machinery of govern
ment, are not confirmed by the heads of these
departments. In interviews with chiefs of
some of them, published only few days
ago in THE STAR. the extent of the inconveni-
ence resulting from the Presidents prOtracted
Illness was summed up in the words of a Cabi-
net officer: 1T only compels us to let few
men. whom we think ought to be turned out,
remain in office while longer"
The subject of the Presidents condition and
its effect upon public business has been harped
upon by some Journals of the country in SEN
satiOnal STYLE with the view of creating the i'm
preston in the public mind that the affairs of
government demand that the Vice President
should assume the presidential seat and duties
until the President RECEIVERS. In the first place,
there is no power vested in any person body
to determine what constitutes presidential ina
bility. The constitution provides that. lin case
of the removal of the President from office, or of
his death, resignation or inability to discharge
the powers and duties of the said office,
the same shall devolve on the Vice President,
and the Congress may by law provide for the
case of removal. death, resignation or inability
both of the President and Vice President, de-
claring what officer shall then act as President,
and such officer shall act accordingly unit! the
disability be removed, or President shall be
elected" Even if Congress were now in session
there would be no occasion for any determination
of the question as to whether the Presidents
present condition is one of inability as con-
templated in the constitution. Only the other
day the President attended to state matter re-
quirnghis attention. The country may rest en-
tirely easy in the assurance that whenever the
affairs of government require attention which
the President is not able to give he will make it
easy for the Vice President to discharge the
functions of the office ad interim. There will
be no need of pressing the matter upon his at
tentiOn.

Do the District Commissioners govern the
District, or do the street railway companies
govern the Commissioners? That is query
which has suggested itself to the mind of a
good many people. lately, in view of the bad
condition of Pennsylvania avenue along the car
tracks for good portion of the stretch between
the Treasury and the Capitol. ridge of dirt
that becomes pasty mud or driving dust ac-
cofding to the weather, has been permitted to
lie there for weeks. greatly to the discomfort,
at all times. of everybody required to cross that
wide thoroughfare, and. when the wind blows,
greatly to the damage also of goods in the
stores and shops along the line. as well as
greatly to the injury of the eyesight of persons
having occasion to be anywhere in its neighbOr-
hood On Saturday. for example. and to-day,
when there was stiff breeze it was almost
impossible to see any distance in any d-
rection there. on account of the clouds of
binding dust, TO say nothing of the difficulty of
breathing, in consequence of the extent to which
the air was loaded with filth and foul Odors.
The situation is, in short. an insult to the COM
munlty and disgrace to our so-called authori-
ties Is there TO be no relief from this outrage
on the public until the street car company sees
fit 10 afford it of its own motion? Have our we'll
paid officials really no power in the premises, or
are they too kindly disposed to exercise it?
30 set at naught the rights and comfort of his
neighhOrs. Why, then, is corporation permit

AWFUL CALAMITY.
A whole Family Cremated.

A Whole Family Cremated.
An awful catastrophe occurred at
East Liverpool, Columbiana County,
on Wednesday morning of last week.
About 80 o'clock fire was discovered
in the drug store of Sloan Bros, OF
that place. Ii is. supposed that Sloan,
being a new conner, did not under
stand the heavy pressure OF the gas,
and left it burning. The store was
one over which be and family-wiie
and seven children, and brotherin-
law, Mr.. Rkeels-were stopping.
When Sloan discovered the fire he
awoke kis family, but found the stairs
burned away. He took his daughter,
three years old, and leaped from a
window TO the ground. He told his
wife-whO had baby in her arms
and children to follow him. Sloan
broke his leg in jumping. His wife
and children failed to jump, and were
burned 10 death also Mr.. Skeels.
The bodies were found the same
morning. The wife was lying with
her baby i'm her arms, both burned TO
a crisp. The five other children were
huddled together close by. Skeels
was probably smothered 10 death.

The National Banks are threatening
to retire their circulation, and thus
create stringency in the money mar
ket if the Funding bill 10 passed
passed requiring them to deposit the
new three per cent. bonds as security
for their issues. They seem to forget
that this same bill provides for the
Issuing of s3OO,OOO,OOO certificates in
sums of from $40 to 81 600 each, for
the purposes of circulation, and it is
difficult to understand why Congress
cannot provide for the issuing of any
further amount of such certificates
necessary to relieve the country of
any distress which the banks may at
tempt to create by their unpatriotic
action, as well as to authorise these
corporations to furnish, while the
Government merely acts as their in
dorser. If the banks possess the dan
gerous powers which they claim of
bringing financial ruin upon the busi-
ness of the country and the govern.
ment, it is high time that measures
should be taken to wipe them entirely
out of existence, for they are more
dangerous to the prosperity and jiber-
ty of the people than an organized ar
my of traitors.

Henry ID. Cooke, late Governor of
the District of Columbia, and member
of the firm of Jay Cooke & Co., died at
Washington last Thursday morning.
of the same ailment that caused the
death of Senator Carpenter-Bright's
disease of the kidneys.
Henry ID. Cooke was born in Ohio,
and when the District of Columbia
was under territorial form of govern
ment was its chief magistrate. He
was best known as a partner III the
famous house of Jay Cooke & Co., the
failure of which was the first disaster
in the long list which made up the
history of the panic of 1873. He was
for many years a man of large iDflu-
ence in Washington and connected
more or less directly with the fiscal af-
fairs of the country. His illness did
not become serious until within a week
or thereabouts.

THE Republican leaders succeeded
in making the Prohibitionists believe
that the only hope of securing the
passage of the local option law was in
voting for and electing the candidates
of that party. They thus secured
their votes, and yet, though appealed
to by three hundred thousand petit
tioners for the passage of such a law,
they have thrice defeated it, and are
now proposing to pacify their dupes
by the Massage of law taxing the
sale, which virtually amounts to IL
censing the traffic. Still, the temper
ance people will be asked to repsse
mistaken confidence in the integrity,
morality and virtue of their betray ers.
