A Leaf from the RObesOnlan
Record.


It cannot be denied that the gov
eminent IL giving the long-suffering
John Roach plenty OF trials. His
latest contribution the collection Of
patched-up old lumber and iron
know as the United States navy Is to
be given fourth opportunity next
week to show that she has been built
according to the specifications Of the
contract. II the Dolphin makes .
failure on ibis occasion it 10 probable
that no more eSperime nts will be
made until the builder has made
alterations aud improvements 4: his
own expense which will render II
possible to hope for better perform
ances in the future.
It is already clear that the Dolphin
will never be Of much account In the
avy,but this much has been gained
by the rigid inspection to which she
has been subjected: Whatever re-
pairs are necessary to make It ca
pable OF sea voyage will have to be
made by Roach. Since the piratical
Robson undertook the job OF demol-
ishing the navy 1t his been custom
ary to accept anything that Roach
saw ut to turn out, and then repair"
it at the expense Of the government.
Many Of the vessels thus repaired
were ruined, and thus naillions Of
dollars have been worse than wasted.
The mere statement OF the fact
that $500, 000, 900 has been expended
on our navy since 1866, the close OF
the war, and that the navy has been
growing poorer until now
there is but one flrst-ciasS vessel In
it, is Of itself enough to show the
necessity for the adoption of new
methods. How this royal bounty Of
the people has been squandered is

Nothing Is clearer than the fact
that Gen. Logan has no maral right
to take the peoples money in pay
ment for work which he has not pei
formed. That is not all. He has no
legal right to his salary for the month
Of January and February. His
case is covered by section A Of the
Revised Statutes.
The Secretary OF the Senate shall deduct from
the monthly payments OF each member the
amount Of his salary for each day that he has
been absent from the Senate. I'm less such MEM
Der assigns rs the reason for such absence the
sickness OF himself or OF some member OF his
family.
And section Al further provides:
When any member withdraws from his seat
and does not return before the adjournment Of
Congress he shall. in addition TO the sum de.
amount which he would have been allowed fol
his travelling expenses In returning home.
Gen. Logan's salary, allowances, and
mileage for the period during which
he has deprived the Government Of
the United States OF his valuable
service amount to $1,000. We do not
believe that Logan would steal 81 ,0O0
directly out Of the Treasury What
We want to know is whether he has
drawn and intends to keep this 81
600, to which he has no moral or eq-
uitable claim, and which is expressly
withheld from him by the laws thai
he has sworn to obey.--N. \. Sun.

4 Christmas Dianer In . Beslegcl City,
No ono ID Paris at the time Decems
Der, 1900 win ever forget those cold,
bright, clear Christmas days. And
now csms Christmas day and sadder
oue never dawned on any city. The
cold was still intense and the fuel OF.
hausted. The woods Of Vincennos and
Boulogne, and the beautiful shade trees
that adorned the magnificent avenues
Of the city, were being cut down for
fuel. The scarcity Of provisions had
increased There was little meat
but horse meat. The Government
was selling all the horses in the city for
food, and they were taken on remorse-
lessly to the butchers block. Tho
streets were deserted and the people
sat shiyeyipg in their houses. saun-
tered down 70 the grand avenue Of the
Champs Elysees at noon and could
count but four vehicles from the Place
dc IL Concord to the Arch of Triumph.
The streets were no longer lighted at
night except by some struggling kero-
sene Tampa It was no longer Paris.
The people we're getting more and more
dissatisfied and depreGsel, and the
clubs had become furious. But in the
midst Of all this had determined on .
Christmas dinner with few friends,
c0ute que c0ilte. I had been obliged,
some time before, to abandon my own
house, a. il had fallen within tho
line OF the military operations, but !
had sent servant there in the morn
ing to warm IL up SO that conld en-
terrain my guests for dinner. The
evening before went Into brilliantly
lighted butchers shop in the Rue st.
Lazare and difidently asked the prico
Of an ordinary sized turkey, and was
told by the polite proprietor ("that
seeing it Is youS) could have it for
t25. There was no turkey in mine for
Christmas dinner, but we finally COM
promised on > chicken 1t 81. But il
must not be supposed that We were
starving on Christmas day, the ninety
eighth day Of the siege. Here i the
menu for dinner Of ton covers:
