THE NAVAL ACADEMY,
~ Report of the Board of Visitors

The annual report of the Board OF Visitors
10 the Naval Academy has been submitteI to
the Secretary OF the Navy.
The board recommends that naval cadets
while at the academy, be considered as regu.
larly In the Navy, and subject to trial by court
martial and to naval discipline In all respects.
The board believes tho facility with which
cadets who have political influence are reln.

preludicial TO the service. Designations for
appointment should he made year before
the time OF admiration.
The board found 1t impossible to improve
Inc course OF study and training, and believe
mat Increasing the length OF term Is tho only
means by which tho instruction can be rom
uered more thorough. The extension of tho
course AZ the Academy from four 10 Ave years

able advantages and expense OF such change.

superintendent's houee. The discipline Ut the
academy and all features OF Its management
are highly commended.
An arrangement by which the Board OF Man
ayers could always embrace some members
who had served the previous year is recon.
mended.
Commissioner Dorman b. Eaton submits
special report deprocating the present mode
OF admitting persons 10 cadetships. There are
always many unnecessary vacancies undor tho
present system, and the constant supply OF
able and highly-educated naval officers Is not
forthcoming. He urges that the number OF
cadets DO increased 10 800 or 600. He says

Employment of Labor on District
Work.

J.F. Grant, Joseph Tanning and others, OF
q committee appointed by tho workingmen's
sioners Saturday letter urging certain
changes In the method OF employing labor on
District work. They say: tive have ascer.
tanned that contractors have imported into the
District n large number OF cheap foreign Ia
borers, have established camps, opened supply
stores and made other arrangements lndicat-
Ing an intention to extend and permanently
establish the system OF employing alien pau
pers on the public works." They anticipate
that the Commissioners will say they have no
power In the premises, and the committee de-
mands that the Commissioners must prevent
any but American citizens from being ON
ployed on the public works. They assert in
conclusion their arm conviction that the Com
mlssioners are bound by the eight-honr law;
that they practice false economy In paying
wages inadequate for the maintenance OF a la
boring mans family, and trusting that the
commissioners twin not refuse to act for the
Denent or the people over whom fortune has
case.

About what They Expect TO dO
Ohio


About what They Expect 10 do In
Ohio.
There have been very conflicting stories in
circulation to-day IN Democratic and Ropubll-
can quarters.
Letters have been received here from Ser.
geant.nt-Arms Leedomsand Colonel Ike, Hill,
poih on whom have boon In ohio for several
months, and they state with great pOsitiveness
that the State Will be carried by the Demo.
Gratis. Each also throws out warning that
mere is agreat colonizing scneme going on
there BY the Republicans and calls upon the
committee to counteract or stop It.
Republicans here arc In receipt of almost
innumerable letters from men IN their party
In Ohio, calling attention to tho Democratic
colonization OF voters that Is going on there
from the District OF Columbia, and the States
OF Maryland, Kentucky and Indiana. They
assert that the large cities are filling up with
strange men, who are asserting that they have
been residents for periods giving them the
right OF suffrage, and are giving names which
conflict with those who arc known TO be resi-.
dents. The small towns are also experiencing
an influx OF men, strangers and without ON.
ployment
Fears are entertained that the Democrats
intend to intimidate, repeat and finally to
count out the Republicans. It is learned that
In almost every precinct In the State arrange
ments have been perfected to control the
count. The trustees elected are very largely
Democratic. The State officers who Will cor
tify to the returns are Democratic and threat
enlng. So, altogether, tho Republicans have
q very dreary outlook for fair ballot and an
honest count.
II was with bravadO aud boldness that
prominent Democrat asserted to-day that Ohio
would be carried In spite OF anything the Re
publicans could do.
There comes from Now York a report, based
upon the statement OF gentleman associated
with the National Democratic Committee, that
Chairman Manning more than three weeks ago
informed the National Committee that the
State Committee was able to take care OF the
State OF New York, and that the funds, energies
and talents Of the National Committee could
be exhausted on Ohio.
This means an ocean OF money for Ohio.
There Is no doubt whatever, either, that there
Is as much money In tho hands of the State
Central Committee OF Ohio as can be used Judi.
ciously. There seems to be nothing LETT un-
done That bold, INSCRIPTIONS party can do
to carry the State for Democracy next week-Or

the poll is being taken.

interest and fascination-his model.
One evening. just as the soft, uncer-
tain autumn twilight was gathering, they
paused at the gate of the old ivv-grown
church.
"You should sketch this" she sug-
geted. it is typical country church; the
most perfect model you will find"
He hesitated a moment, gazing medita-
lively at the old pile; then turned quickly
to her, an eager, questioning light in his
clear gray eyes.

The light came and went in the face
grown so fascinating to him: the eyes
were still fixed upon the ground. but he
held both hands. and bending over. pressed
his lips to the ruby finger-tips.

said; "be kind; let them guide me al

"You have been my model since tina,
