The Radical brotherhood are getting
no better fast in the way of not living
together in harmony. For some months
past R. J. Hinton, editor of the Wash
ington Sunday Gazette (Republican), has
been busily engaged in exposing the
crOokedness in the Treasury Department
under John Sherman's administration,
and has excited the ire of that honest (?l
ex-Secretary. When testifying before
the investigating committee, recently,
Sherman went so far as to call Hinton
"a dead beat" and said of him: 81 take
it Hinton is a man of the type Of Gui-
teau, but not probably of the courage OF
Guiteau to do a murder" Upon this
Hinton became enraged, and in his last
issue he prints an open letter to Sher-
man, of which the following is speci-
men:
"You throw down the gauntlet Of per
sonal enmity and malignity, though IN
the cowardlY manner that behts your
cold and Shiny nature. That OF saying
behind the sanctity of the witness stand
and the Senatorial position you defile,
what you would not dare say to the face
Of an honorable man-most certainly
what you will not dare to say in my
presence and to my face"
1t is needless to remark that the Demo
Gratis of the country look on this little
family quarrel with the utm3s. compla-
cency.

The International Monetary Confer
ence is to reassemble in Paris April y.
1t is stated as possible that there will be
two vacancies in the representation from
this country. The delegates on the part
of the United States are William NJ.
Evarts, Allen g. Thurman and Timothy
o. Howe Mr.. Howe, of course, will
not leave his position in the Cabinet to
90 to Paris, and Mr.. Thurman is under
stood to be unwilling to again cross the
ocean. Mr.. Evarts alone remains, and
it is expected he will return. There will
then be two vacancies. 1t is not known
what the purposes of the administration
are, but it is believed that Minister Nor
ton and Consul General Walker, now in
Paris, will be designated to fill the
vacant places. S. Dana Horton, the
Secretary, will return. He has been
devoting his time during the recess OF
the Congress to disseminating arguments
in favor of he discontinuance Of the
coinage of the standard silver dollar, on
the theory that a suspension Of coinage
might prove to be the very strongest
argument that could be used to induce
Great Britain to adopt the international
bi-metallic standard.

Colonel Blacks Condition.

The numberless friends in this Con-
gressional district Of Colonel George R.
Black will rejoice to read this morning
the good news of his improved condi-
ton. Yesterday morning we received
a special announcing that a change for
the better-so great as to astonish even
his physicians-had taken place, and this
pleasant news is confirmed by a second
dispatch, received last night, announcing
that the improvement still continues;
that he is now able to slightly move his
lower limbs, and is resting more easily
than since he was first Frustrated. The
fact that his children who had been sum;
moned, it was feared to his deathbed,
have been sent back to Baltimore, is ad-
ditional and gratifying evidence that his
improvement is substantial 1t is sin
cerely to be hoped he will progress rap
idly to convalescence, and that it may
not be very long before he will be able to
receive in person the hearty congratula-
tions.upon his recovery of;his constituents
whose interests he has so conscientiously
and efficiently served in Washington.

Rhode Island has a tax law which
seems to have some qualities that recon-
mend it to the attention of legislators Of
other States. 1t has increased the assess
ment roll nearly sixty-three per cent in
q single year. Its chief proviso is one
that compels every owner of property to
make q return under oath of the amount
OF all bonds, stocks, mortgages, and
other personal property held by him,
and the penalty for evasion or falsifca-
ton is the imposition of double tax.
Public sentiment in the little State seems
TO be strong enough to compel the strict
enforcement Of the law, and it has been
forcible enough to compel the indict-
ment Of the Assessors of two towns fol-
having failed to do their duty.

"The Baker State Railway Commits
sion Bill' is the one likely to be adopted
by the New York Legislature. 1t con.
tains three principal provisions: % the
creation of three new offices with sala
ries of $1,000 per annum each; t2) the
appointment of these three officers by
the Governor, with the consent of the
Senate; and o. the comforting upon said
Commissioners powers of so limited a
character as to be little more than merely
advisory. The Georgia Legislature
might learn something from the Legisla-
ture of New York if it would. That is
the Empire State of the North as Geor-
gia is of the South, and it thinks an ad-
visory commission is all that is needed
to protect its enormous commercial in
terests. All efforts to establish an arbi-
trary commission in that State such as
we have in this have failed.

Latest reports concerning the treat
ment Of the Jews in Russia are to the
effect that the details of brutal outrages
heretofore published are literally true
and some idea of the unhappy condition
of the unfortunates may be gathered
from the fact that it is stated on reliable
authority that no less than one hundred
thousand Jewish families in that coun-
try, who were formerly wel-to do, II
not wealthy, have now been reduced to
actual want. 1t is further stated that
the great calamity that now overwhelms
them threatens to surpass that dire event
of the fifteenth century, regarded by
themselves as only second to the de-
struction Of Jerusalem, when the edict
of Ferdinand and Isabella drove three
hundred thousand Of these people penni-
less out of Spain. There are three and
a half million Jews in Russia to-day, and
three fourths of them would emigrate
without delay if they had the means, for
the measures of restriction that already
have been or soon will be enacted against
them render life intolerable.
Naturally to the United States, where
they have equal rights and privileges,
this great tide of immigration has already
set in, and must come, and the Philadel-
phia Record states that since the arrival
of the first Of the refugees, some sixty or
seventy in number, by the steamship
Egypt, in September last, enough have
already come to make total OF two
thousand seven hundred and twenty five.
1t is calculated that within the next
six or eight months probably thirty
thousand of these poor people will
reach our shores. The question Of
at least temporary shelter, and provision
for this multitude becomes, therefore. 8
serious matter. Good men, however,
are devoting themselves to the work OF
preparing for the exigencies Of the situa-
ton. AS a means Of raising a portion
of the money that will be required, q
national festival is to be held in New
York on the 9th, 7th and 6th Of June.

cessful the example will doubtless be
followed elsewhere.

The strike at the Pittsburg Steel Com
pany's mill has been closed by arbitra.
ton. The strike was unfortunate at the
outset, and has been the cause Of much
loss and trouble. with no practical re-
suits that could not have been reached
before the strike began. ''It was fortu-
nate. however" remarks the Philadel-
phia Nescs, "that even after long strike
enough good feeling remained for arbi
tration to be possible This affair should
lead to arbitration being more promptly
and largely employed in labor Difficult
ties. Strikes are often caused by rash
counsels beford peaceful methods are
exhausted. If these were fully employ
ed there would be no further trouble,
except in extreme cases, Of undoubted
wrong"

Marine Signals.

Marine signals had their first exist
ance in the early Greek and Persian
fleets, and were made by means Of the
sails, certain interpretations being
given to the position and state Of the
sails, whether furlcd, loosed or par
italy secured Shields held aloft in
various positions, and bright, CLEAN
ing fires were made use of. No re-
cord of code is to be found in an
cicnt writings. Night signals We're
invented about the same time as day
codes. In 1920 Captain General
Piero Mozenigo, a Nenitian, invented
a system of flags, with distinction in
colors, giving to each galley of the
feet a pennant and flag, He also es
tabllshed that Il fire on the poop shall
signify "set mainsail;" two fires,
both the square sails" three fires,
"all plain SAIL" four fires, "lay in the
oars and make all sail" Fleet sig
nails were not generally adopted,
however, before the middle of the
18th century.
To the Duke of York, afterwards
King James III. of England, belongs
the honor of first introducing, in
1866, a signal code upon regular
system. The papal code of 1914 pre-
scribed that pennant hoisted on the
poop indicated make sail" and to be
dipped once for each sail to be set. A
banner placed amidships denoted
distress" A banner held up on the
poop meant form line of battle" In
1895 Mr.. Macarthur, who had been
Secretary to Admiral Lord Howe, or
iginated a code of thirteen flags.
Each flag was known by a letter and
number, and were used by Nelson at
Trafalgar, when he hoisted the ia
nous motto, England expects every
man to do his duty"
In 1895 the United States Navy
used a code similar to the device in
vented by King James. There were
twenty-six flags one for each letter
and a number of pennants for spe-
cials. In 1916 the Navy Department
adopted the method known as ''Ro-
gers American Code" In 1857 and
1861 notifications were made. The
international Code, devised by the
British Government, has been almost
universally adopted, with the excep-
ton of the United States A gunner
in the United States Navy, by the
name of Coston, perfected a system
of night signals, the colors CORES
ponding to the day flag.
