Navy Department Organization.

General order No. 293, dated March 80,
1882, is not only. creating a bad feeling, but,
we fear, will work mischief to the navy, mas
much as 1t so modifies and changes the duties
Of the Bureaus that 1t Will make a number of
little navy yards in each. 1t makes the Bureau
OF Ordnance determine on the Kind and thick
ness OF armor and select the same, then the
Bureau of Construction pays for the armor,
and finally the Bureau OF Ordnance puts the
armor on the hull. In tho law creating the
bureaus this was Intended as the business of
the Construction. Then, again, 1t gives part
Of the steam machinery OF the navy to the
part to the Bureau OF Steam Engineering.
1t gives all torpedo ships Including
Bureau, and It gives the assigning Of build.
ings (Which belonged to the Yards and Docks)
TO all the Bureaus. In fact 1t upsets the busi-
ness about as thoroughly as II 1t intended to
make the organization OF the Department a
failure. Now, there is no need for any OF this;
II any one Bureau encroached upon the duties
of another 1t could have been settled promptly
and permanently by simple reference to the
laws creating the Bureaus. Construction has
always built the hulls, masts, yards, cap
STAINS, ETC., but has never pretended to claim
the sails which hang upon the yards, and
there is no reason why 1t should claim the en-
gine which turns the capstan. The carpen-
ter on board ship is tho construction oficer,
but we do not think captain would send
for his carpenter to repair the capstan en-
gine. When constructor designs a
hull he consults the engineer as to the size OF
the shaft TO pass through the dead-wood of the
stern, the position and size of holes for out
boiler keelsons, &C., and there is no reason
why the constructor should not put in his cap
stan or windlass, giving the engineer the size
OF the spindle, ETC., that he may design his
engine TO turn It. There is NO difficulty in
deciding the exact line OF duties OF each, keep
ing within the intent OF tho law, and there is
no reason why the one should encroach upon
the other. Dividing the building OF steam
engines among three different Bureaus is as
absurd as it would be 10 give the smooth-bore
ordnance to one Bureau, the rified ordnance
10 second, and the small arms to q third
Nautical Gazette.
Referring to the action of ex-Secretary
Hunt in issuing the general order referred
to above on the last day of his presence at
the Navy Department, and after his sue
cessor had been nominated and confirmed,
and he confirmed for another position, has
very justly called forth some very severe
criticisms in naval circles and elsewhere
That it was an extremely indelicate act, as
well as discourteous, to his successor there
can be no question. Clearly, if the Navy
Department required reorganization it was
not Mr.. Hunts province to do it. Secretary
Chandler should have had the opportunity
of making changes, if any were required.

the hands of unskilful navigators. The
channel that leads TO the nomination for
the Presidency is narrow and tortuous-
worse, even, than that of the Eastern
Branch-and there is in the midst Of IL
Buzzard's Point, on which bleach tho
bones of several Presidential craft which,
when they got mp steam, imagined they
had the smoothest kind of voyage before
them. The nautical fate of the Admin
istration yesterday, under the pilotage of
the owner of the Herald is a repetition of
the political fate of every aspiring states
man who has accepted the organship of that
concern.
We reject the theory put forward by
some that the Namouna was run aground
by Charles Nordhoff. 1t is doubtless true,
as those advancing this theory allege, that
Nordhof has rooted antipathy against
iron steamships built in the United States.
1t is even rumored that he receives 5000
a year from English sources to keep his
prejudices warm. The theory that he ran
the American.built yacht aground in order
to demonstrate the necessity of a free-ship
law that will give the monopoly of ship
building to the British might therefore be
plausible to anybody who was not con-
versant with all his traits. Nordhoff Is not
n man who exceeds his contracts. If he
gets $1,000 year to make Bennett's Herald
advocate the interests of British ship
builders he will do that and moth
ing more. But he would not run
yacht aground as extra work.
In fact, he would not do anything that he
was not specifically hired to do.
This we think triumphantly disposes of
the theory that Nordhof was responsible
for the contetemps of yesterday, and leaves
the affair wholly within the domain ofacci-
dent. We advise the President to cut
loose at once from Bcnnett and all his be-
lopgings. He and his Cabinet would feel
worse and pace the decks more impatiently
than they did yesterday if they should find
themselves aground in the Buzzards' point
of Presidential aspirations two years hence
under similar auspices. A sumptuous din.
ner would hardly console them in that ca
lamity

THE theory of Mr.. Parnell that the
assassination of Cavendish and Burke was
done by agents of the landlord party in
Ireland seems to be gaining ground. Of
the desperation of this class there can be no
doubt. Nor is there the slightest question
of their capability of any resort, howsoever
bloody or horrible, to stay the fall of their
fortunes. The investigation nov in prog
ress will probably develop all the facts /;
and if it should verify Mr.. Parnell's sus-
picions, nobody who is at all acquainted
with the average character of Irish land
lords will be surprised.

If THE able editor of the Republican does
not discover that Blaine had something to
do with the misfortunes of the Administra-
tion yesterday, we shall begin to think
that he has lost his grip. Now is your
time Brother Gorham. This is great
opportunity to get in some solid work on
Blaine. Perhaps he had the bar raised or
the tide lowered over night. He is capable
Of almost ANYTHING.

AN ARTICLE in the Capital of Sunday
shows that the seven land-grant railway
corporations mentioned in the letter Of Sec
retary Kirkwood were offered 115, 5,452, 2,2ls
acres Of land-over one hundred aud eighty
thousand square miles-if they would COM
plete the contemplated railways within a
United time that they failed to do this
and that under the most liberal construc.
tion of the law they have forfeited any
claim to more than one hundred and thirty
thousand square miles, more than s3,000,0OO
acres, worth at the lowest price for rail-
roads the enormous sum of $209,000,000,
and that this land would furnish 160-acre
homesteads for $4,000 families.
OF this immense territory the Northern
Pacific has forfeited 81 ,459,s acres-forty-
nine Thousand one hundred and seventy
one square miles, worth. at $3.50 an acre
S7s,649,6oo. This territory, larger in ex-
tent than the great State of New York, is
withheld from settlement, while thousands
of people are homeless and landless, and
tens of thousands are seeking homes In the
West.
Much has been said about the whisky

the press remains silent upon the attempt
of these corporations to rob the Govern,
ment of over $500, 100000 and three mil

porations hold the lands as did the robbel
barons of old the plunder which they
seized. Is it not about time for Congress t.

HE real estate III Inc DlStflCC owned Dy
private parties is valued at $90,000,0o0
That owned by the Government of the
United States is worth as much more.
From the organization Of the District to
the 1st of July, 1876, the Government of
the United States expended on streets,
roads and highways in the District $6,-
100000, and the taxpayers expended in the
same time $47, 100000. That is $53000,-
600 altogether. The United States owning
one-half of the property only spent one
ninth of the money, and we yet hear rural
members occasionally rear up ON their hind
legs and howl about "Government expendi.
lures in the District" As soon as the men,
bers recover their equilibrium they trot off
to the committee-room and again howl for
an appropriation to improve the naviga-
tion of Owl Creek, or some other ndenta-
tion in the earth's surface, which becomes
damp after hard rain.
The facts show that the United States, so
far as the District is concerned, has been
like pauper, supported by the citizens If
the Government wants to be honest and
pay its share Of the taxes and expenditures
of the District, Congress will have to ap-
propriate SAL ,OO0, 900, half of which would
pay the District debt and the other put all
the streets in good order, reclaim the flats
and make Washington the handsomest and
healthiest city in the world.

THE Independent movement in Texas is
gaining force, momentum and strength. 1t
is already so strong as to lead to row be-
tween State Senator Terrell and Major Wal
ton, commonly called "Buck." Both were
officers in the Confederate army. So forci-
BILE were the arguments they used in dis
cussing this movement that blows were
exchanged with such great force and mo.
mentum that Terrell knocked Walton
down. This is promising beginning. We
may look out for large crop of duels as the
season advances-not the bloodless Virginia
duel but the real old Texas kind, Bowie
knives, with their left hands tied together.

THE people Of ST. Paul VIII be surprised,
TO putlt mildly, upon reading the state
ments made to q GLOBE reporter by Geo.
w. Lamson, Esq. of the board of work
house direction, in reference to the mad
equacy and imperfections Of the new
structure for workhouse purposes, now
nearly completed as originally cSntem-
plated. While the statements made are
those of Mr. Lamson, it is evident from
the reference TO the visit of Mr.. FitZger-
aid, selected fer superintendent of the
institution by the board, that
they are based upon the long
experience of Dir. Fitzgerald with
the Detroit house of correction, uudoubt-
edly the most successful institution of the
kind in this country. The GLoBEls not
in position to say whether the structures
upon the present structure are not too
severe, but many of the lmperfectlons
pointed out are so self-evident, upon a
mere statement of the facts, as to give
weight to all, and to carry with them the
conviction that bad beginning has been
made Ii the effort to establish q success
full workhouse system in ST..
Paul. This is, without doubt,
a most unwelcome conviction, but it is
much better that it should be forced
upon the public mind now, before the
institution is opened, than by years of
costly attempts to establish the system
upon a radically wrong basis. If the
structures in the interview are well
founded, halt in present operations
SHOULD be called at once, and new be-
ginning be made. st. Paul needs a well
planned and constructed workhouse, but
not an expensive hell, a disgrace to the
city and modern civilization. 1t may be
unjust, bat the board of directors will
eventually be held responsible for the
uA..gaC.ex u ,hc institution furnished.
