The closing OF the United States naval

AS pleasant rendezvous for the European
squadron, with tho attractions OF Monaco
near by, and the winter gayety of Nice con-
vcnicntly at hand. 1t was superior to any
place In the Mediterranean; but 1t was a
costly luxury, without the least use.
In fact, the presence OF an American fleet
in European waters In these days. when our

and when the Atlantic cable puts us In hour
ly communication with every Cabinet, is
almost supcriluous.

not disinterested judges, however, for they
belong to tho favored class OF taxeaters.
But tho taxpayers. who foot the bills, may
look at the matter in quite n different light.
II the useless sQuadrons in Europe and in
othor parts of the globo were called home,
andifthc ornamental diplomacy, which at the
very best is only costly sham, was abol-
ished, millions OF dollars could be saved
every year which arc now squandcred In
pomp and parade.
Every departure from the simplicity, econ
omy. honesty, and strict accountability,

80. and possibly they are right. 1t may be
that thoy me wiser than JEFFERSON. than
JACKSON, than TILDEN, the illustrious men
who have hitherto formulated tho creed and
directed the policy OF the Democracy.
What will be the effect OF this new dcpar-
ture upon the election OF 1884? This Is q
problem that experience will promptly solve.
Our friend OF the Co,rier-Journal declares
himself fully prepared for defeat. and
probably ho will not be disappointed. On tho
other hand, tho Erening Post Of this city would
seem to imagine that the free trade party
may win, but this wo think must be pro-
nounced n Quixotic Illusion. The judgment
OF sober mon will be that in the present
temper OF the public mind, neither New York
nor Connecticut nor New Jersey nor Indiana
can possibly be carried upon the free trade
programme. Louisiana will certainly vote
against 1t, and Georgia and North Carolina
will do likewise. Indeed. tho only States that
can surely be relied upon to givo Demo-
cratic majority under such circumstances
nre Kentucky and South Carolina.
Since the battle is nrraycd, let us have 1t
earnestly wagcd and tho victory fairly de-
tcrmined. We had hoped that 1t might be

An Arrogant Witness.

Mr.. JOHN A. WALSH is believed to be pos
scssed of much valuable information which
is needed for the due prosecution OF the re-
naming Star route cases.
IIc has written tho President letter on
tho subject OF his appearance rs witness,
which was published yesterday, and which
clearly manifcsts the intention Of tho writer
to avoid tcstifying unless the President conf
plies with certain requests as he calls them,
though they arc really positive demands.
These are four in number. First, Mr..
WALSH wants Mr.. MERRrCN or Mr.. KEI to
appear before tho present Grand Jury, with
the view of procuring Indictments against
WILLIAM DICKSON for SANDER and against
GEORGE c. GoEHAM of the National Republi-
can and A. c. BUELL. of the critic" for libel.
This seems to be n matter for arrangement
between Mr.. WALSH and the two gentlemen
he mentions The President has nothing to
do with it. Besides, is there any such thing
| as acriminabrosecution for slandor-that is,
oral as distinguished from written dcfama-
ton known to the law of the District OF Co.
| lumba We observe that it is for slandcr
Mr. WALSH wishes Mr.. DICKSON indicted,
| while he wants his other critics indicted for
| libel: So he is evidently aware OF the distinc-
| tion we have mentioned.
| III tho second place, Mr.. WALSH asks the
| President to request the Attorney-Gcncral
| to answer n letter addressed TO him by Mr..
| WALSH. If Mr.. WALSH cannot get an
answer out Of Mr.. BREWSTER, it is hardly to
he expected TINT the President will act as
his agent for the purpose.
| The third request that he shall be assured
protection rs Il witness. is reasonable.
Finally, however. he demands n promise
that GEORGE Hiss will not represent The
Government in its actions against BRADY
| and kELLoGG.
Wouldn't be like something more? lie
might tell the Prcsi,ien. who must be en-
ployc,. nS counsel, rs well as who cannot be
allowed to appear. The fact Is that, accord
| ing 10 the WALSH theory, it is rather better
to be Star Route witness than 10 be Pres
i,lcnt Of these United States. YoU simply
write to the President and he obcys.
But the WALSH theory may be carried too
far III practice If Mr.. WALSH is not cautious
he mag have TO write letters in the future
from some place of detention provided for
contumGcious witnesses. He had better tell
the truth aud shame the devil, without
