General Grants testimony in the Ward Fish
scandal will be gratifying to the country by fur
nishing additional proof that he had no knowl-
edge Of the real condition OF things, and was
himself one of the chief sufferers from his part
ner's rasca}ities. In accordance with his usual
habit he trusted implicitly those in whom he
put his trust, and he seems to have been drawn
ineo the net by a species Of adroit manipulation
which any man might have found it difficult to
escape But it was a sad day for the General
when he cut loose from his conservative old

The threatened war between Great Britain
and Russia bids fair to make a great dis
turbance in the ocean passengers service be-
tween Liverpool and New York. According to
London dispatch two of the swiftest and
most popular steamships the America and the
Arizona, have already been called into govern
ment employment. 1t is reported that Russia
has been trying to charter two other famous
sfsemships, the Oregon and Alaska and to pre-
vent this disposition Of them the British gov
eminent has decided to engage their services.
All the great passenger ships are so constructed
Is to be easily convertible into men Of war. in
anticipation of just such emergencies as the
present. Their size and speed also qualify them
for transport service. In the event of war
Russia would doubtless try to strike ut Eng
lands commerce, and it might become ueces-
sary FOR the latter power to withdraw some of
Its lines or put Its ships under a neutral flag.
IN shat case we might find our long sought
opportunity to revive our carrying trade.

OF the executive enclosure seriously interfered
with and finally thwarted entirely, by encoun-
tering locked gates on every hand, it is to be
hoped that the powers that now be will give
orders for the Immediate removal of these I'M
slightly and unnecessary obstacles. They not
only serve no good purpose, either TO the
eye or in fact, but they exist without law
full right. Especially is this true of the
White lot gates on 18th and 18th streets The
original Official plan of the city calls for open
thoroughfare between those two streets south
Of the White House, and formerly it was
much travelled roadway between the eastern
and western parts of the city. A desire to ex-
tend the private grounds of the executive man
sion led. however, to changing its course from
nearly straight to deeply curved line. This
action, followed by material Instructions to
travel on that route, caused by the storage
there OF building material for the new treasury
and state departments, eventually led to its
practical abandonment as thoroughfare The
result has been aserious depreciation in prop
erty values on both sides of the reservation

II made, that they were needed. Those in
charge for the time being therefore felt encour-
aged to go step farther, and set up the mas
sive and costly barbados now existing at the
several points, so that the public might at will
be excluded from the grounds altogether.
whether this was the purpose in view, or
whether the real object was merely to pro-
vide temporary work and afterward permanent
places, as watchmen, ETC.. for an army of subor-
dinates, Is not clear; but it is certain that the
money thus spent was wasted, and, as is be-
heved, without warrant of law. But, whether
the gates in question exist by proper authority
or not, they are not needed. That much is self
evident. There is nothing in the space thus en-
closed to be stolen or carried away by visitors
and furthermore, there is no disposition mani
tested here to remove or destroy public prop
erty, as is abundantly demonstrated by the daily
experience of all the small reservations scat
tered throughout the city, many of which have
not even the semblance of low fence about
them for protection There is no reason to sup
pose that the whole stretch Of park reaching
rom 18th street to the Capitol grounds would
not fare equally well at the hands of the public
The grounds embraced therein are not a royaI

Let all the gates accordingly be kept Open Or
still better, let them be removed altogether
