RrcoNSrRrcuoY or THE MY


There is at last manifested by Congress
disposition to do something toward recon-
strncting the Navy, but it must be said that the
more serious reforms proposed do not appear to
meet with much sympathy. One of the worst
defects in the existing constructive departments
of the Navy consists in the want of harmony
and mOn between bureaus. common result
of this has been the construction OF different
parts OF the same ship on incompatible plans,
and the consequent failure OF the whole The
need of unity of administration and conception
in all such matters ought not to require any
demonstration, yet apparently the past expert
ence has not suggested reform in this partlc-
ular. But without reform here it is idle to
expect better results hereafter. Senator Hales
report from the Committee on Naval Affairs
refers to the rapid deterioration OF war vessels
as a reason for constant construction. But why
shoId these vessels decay so quickly when the
vessels of other governments do mott The
rational presumption is that rapid deterioration
iuplies originally bad construction, and it this
il the explanation it is not enough TO provide
merely for constant reproduction. 1t is neces-
sary to see that the work is better done here
after.
The House being in Committee on the Naval
Appropriation bill, Mr.. Ca1ins offered several
criticisms of its provisions, and incidentally
advised the consolidation of some OF the bureaus,
which would, as we have shown above, be
very iudicous step to take, if 1t is not an
absolutely essential one to real naval reform. A
still moro vital criticism, however, was his
censure of the Committee on Appropriations for
emitting any appropriation for ordnance QUILT
II is well known that the guns now In use and
in store are practically of no value, being old
fashioned, of small penetrating power as
measured bymodern armor and also OF insuffic-
lent calibre. 1t is also well known that the
founding of ordnance is work of time, and
that the sctting-up OF the plant is tedious.
At present we have no proper ordnance either
for the Navy or for the coast fOrtlficatlODS-and
unless Congress makes some provision for this
need it must be years before it can be supplied
The Senate Committee appears satisfied with
the report OF the Advisory Board on the new
cruisers. Let us hope that this satisfaction is
justified. Certainly sharp criticisms have been
made on these vessels by foreign authorities III
naval architecture, and we have not seen any
adequate reply to them so far. Congress,
however. must trust to some such board in these
matters. 1t is important that no further mis-
takes should be made in this direction, but that
every new step should be carefully planned to
assist the reconstruction of the Navy upon
basis of practical usefulness and efficiency.

civil administration, and the exemption OF tue
European residents from taxation has peen
removed; but the actual revenues have hot
been increased, and the wretched fellaheeh are
overwhelmed with the burden OF taXatlon'
The Treasury to-day is practically bankrupt ana
there is u pressing need of So, 00O,O 600 required
for present military operations and Tor the
Alexandria indemnities which MIR. Forster pro-
nonnced cruelly unjust. BY the operation OF
tha law of Humiliation an exhausted state Is
oo,,no,lod 70 nav to the bOndholders tribute
renresenting either fresh ezactions In taxes OF
money temporarily borrowed at higher rates.
The Liberal Government has not taken any
steps toward the suspension of the Law OF
Liquidation. It has not offered to reduce the
rate of interest on the Suez shares purchased by
Lord Beaconsfeld. 1t has not done anything to
convert the deficiency into surplus by emitting
any portion of the interest due to foreign
bondhoders 1t has steadily increased that
deficiency by charging the expense of the army
of occupation to the account OF the Egyptian
Treasury, and by making the felaheen pay the
indemnites for damages done to European prop
erty at Alexandria.
Mr. Forster supports the Liberal Government
in the present crisis mainly because they have
sent General Gordon to Khartoum. This Is
evidently the ground on which the Ministry are
hoping to secure majority in the approaching
division. Mr.. Gladstone and Sir Charles Dixie
have read dispatches from General Gordon
expressing not only confidence in the ultimate
success of his mission, but denOuncing any
attempt to restore Egyptian supremacy in the
Soudan. The Ministry cannot say too much
about the energy of this heroic soldier and the
purity of his motives His name is one to
conjure with in England and the Ministry are
making desperate effort to extricate them
selves from their present plight by appauding
his policy. Yet the fact remains that when he
left London he was heartily in favor OF the
retention of Khartoum and the Eastern Soudan,
whereas the Government had given orders for
their abandonment. The Parliamentary returns
published yesterday prove cOnclusvely that he
is not striving to carry out his original IDEAS
but to give effect 70 the Governments decision
in his own way He is striving earnestly to do
something for the SOudanesc, whom he sincerely
pties as the victims of misgovemment and
rapacity. At the same time he is acting under
the restrictions of a Ministerial policy. which
at the outset was not in accord with his judg-
mcnt.

SIGNIFICANT TESTIMONY.

Mr. Whites witnesses who have been called
on the Danvile riot inquiry testify to the ex-
istence of a peculiar state of things in Danvllle
According to them the white men stood III
mortal fear of the negroes, and consequently
were Obliged to go armed all the time; and when
quarrel occurred between negro and white
man ALI the other white men were bound To take
il ND. Also it appears that the white men were
So terrified that they thought il necessary to
begin shooting at the negroes, because there
were so many of the latter that the poor whites
might have been murdered had they not taken
the aggressive But though according to the
testimony there were at one time fifteen negroes
Tn three white men, and afterward about fifteen
white men to two hundred negroes, and though
tbe negroes were armed, il WAS always easy to
dispense them by firing few shots. One nat
ural inference from this Is that the negroes
must have been slow to retaliate, and that
probably they did not do 80 until some OF their
number HAD been shot
The Danyille whites complain of the insolence
of the negroes. Doubtless this insJence con-
sists largely in their audacious assumption of
the rights of citizenship. The Danville whites
evidently expect them to behave rs they did
when they were slaves, and those who will not do
this are marked as dis,lflected," and all early
occasion is taken for "giving them lesson.
One witness is candid enough, when asked If
1" degree of Difference was demanded from the
coorcd people that would not have been
demanded from any other race" to answer
that this might be so"; and we think there
can be no reasonable doubt that II is so. Also
IL appears that though there was no admitted
agreement among the whites TO attack the
negroes for the purpose of keeping them from
the polls. it was generally understood that this
would follow from tho shooting. Altogether.

pRESIDEYTI4L CANDIDATES

Persons who think once where they talk twice
remark that Presidential "bOOms" are strangely
belated. The people who make Presidents
think twice wnere they talk once and they have
observed that. of late years. ali the " boOms
have ended in bursts. The men who get nomi-
nations. in these later days, are not the men
whose friends are most active in "setting up
the pins" Modern politicians have learned that
"the pins" are never set up except TO be
knocked down.
As between candidates after the nomination,
too. the same rule applies. The man who has
the most elaborate preparations and the loudest
brass band in his favor is generally beaten. A
good many voters have distinct preference for
the man who sets in motion the least machinery.
So shrewd politicians have discovered that
candidate may be nominated, and SO sup
ported, as to insure his defeat, and candidates
who are worth anything do not desirea nomlna-
ton on such terms that it means thrashing.
II NAV be suspected that these ideas account
formuch in President Arthur's course which has
perplexed some persons. He has some reputation
as a politician of observing mind. In the DIS
charge of his high duties he has shown not
little sense. Ii is quite conceivable that he
does not want nomination upon terms that
would insure defeat. Being not devoid of
shrewdness, he probably is aware that nOmi-
nation made by Federal Officehoders
at the South would not be worth having
Neither would a nomination juggled
ont of unwilling Northern constituent
cies by use of patronage or manipulation or
delegates. Any use of machinery which his
Office puts within his reach, he doubtless Sees
would damage him in Convention, and Kill him
if nominated. Accordingly, unless he particn-
larly wants to be beaten in Convention or by
the people. it would be natural for him TO reject
altogether methods to which some of his friends
might advise him to resort. If the
Republican voters, of their own motion
and without any influence due to his office
or his former associates, see tit to prefer INN as
their candidate, that nomination will be worth
having. 1t will be high honor in itself, and 1t
will be an election. But any other nomination
would not be worth having.
The Republican voters are not in quite as
much hurry as some of their leaders. They are
aware. too, that the man who Is in hurry to
have Won committed" is not necessarily the
best man. When the Republican party has
reserved its choice until the last moment, it has
not made any mistakes. There are men not now
particularly conspicuous who may be, for aught
we can now know, precisely the right men to
nominate for Presidenta and Vice-President next
summer after the contests mt Washington have
taken shape, and men have had opportunity to
show how they would deal with pending ques-
tions. Any candidate who ought to be noml-
mated will not be harmed. if the people calmly
wait until all possible candidates have been
studied and tested. At ell events, they VIII
wait. And the man who begins to run very
fast in February is likely to get out OF breath
before November.

THE ,SHOW BUSINESS.

An attempt was once made by al English Journal
st 70 find ont who the patrons of the peculiar KIND
OF literature known asthe penny dreadfuls' were.
II vould be even more interesting to discover who
+ba neople are for whose doloctatiOn the American
showmen continually scour the earth IL search III
novelties. For if We may judge from the evidence
at hand large proportion OF tins KIND OF business
and nv no means the least profitable, consists III
securing for exhibition things and people
who have acquired nOtoriety in almost any
imaginable way. Thus recently published
q statement TO the effect that the second mate who
brought action against his captain for cruelty has
bean eroa ged rs "A great attraction by some mus
errnv in this city. In the same way Sergeant
Mason was eagerly sought, and the skeleton Of
Cuiteau. and the clothes worn by President Car

that the Snowman finds profit in the exhibition of
everybody who has been, done. or suffered, any
thipg whatever so that the taste of the patrons OF
TIN. kind of show must DO OmnlyoT0u5 and lndls-
eliminating.
II cannot be rational desire for information that
i at the bottom of this Unsuitable and lndlHereht
curiosity. Is it, perhaps, longing for that variety
which is not afforded by the ordinary occupations
of tine massesP In Central Africa, where the people
live chiefly upon cereals and fruits salt is
Iuvprv "a well as necessity Ii is costly, and tho
natives are accustomed to eat it by itself. Come"
,bev will say. "come home with me. We have salt
for simmer tonight" In the same way it may well
be that the average man, whose life is one of quiet
roonotonous toll yearns for a change OF any kind,
and sezes whatever opportunity Is gwen INN, with
eager avidity The passion for novelty need not be
nroof of mere intellectual instability but it may be
purposeful effort OH the part Of nature to secure
the mental alternatives requisite for the maintenance
of health and sanity.
II would be dIscouraging view to take that the
masses run TO stare at every notoriety simply be-
cause il il notorious because they approve of the
kind of deeds through which the nOtOriety has been
ACQUIRED Curiosity has always been and
will probably always be, not only uni
versal, bnt necessary TO the due pro-
gress Of thought and invention. But If we were
to form conclusions solely upon the character Of the
shows supplied it would be difficult to escape the
conviction that there is great mass of humanity
as vet unindueneed by any impulse toward a higher
civilization and content with amusements OF the
most primitive aud even archaic kind.

MR.. FOESTERS SPEECH.

Mr.. Fosters speech on the vote Of censure is
the most serious attack upon Mr.. Gladstone
Egyptian policy that has yet been made. His
charge that England from the day OF Tel-el-
Kebir was responsible for the events in the
Soudan and ought to have prevented the
attempt TO reconqucr the country with unwlll-
ing military slaves cannot be successfully
refuted. Since the march Of General Hicks's
army to the White Nile district was not only
permitted but was rendered possible by the fact
that Lower Egypt was garrisOned by British
troops, the consequences of the first disaster
should have been Immediately faced. A British
column should have been sent TO the relief of
Tokar and Sinkat, and the evacuation of Kbar-
toum and the remaining posts should not have
been proclaimed. Mr. Forster is right The
Governments policy has been half-hearted and
hating He does not, however, confnc his
structures to military operations. He touches
the core Of the Egyptian question when he
denounces the existing financial arrangements
and charges, the Government with permitting
exactions from the fcllahcen in order To secure
the rights of gambling bOndholders.
The financial 1ituation OF Egypt has not
improved during two years OF British occupation.
