The Weather Bureau seems to be chiefly
engaged nowadays in recording the storms
that arrive rather than in predicting those to
come. That is to say, it is running history

The Southern Forestry Congress, which
is to meet Dec 16 next at Lake De Funiak
at the invitation of the Governor of Florida,
will be an occasion of great interest. The
South sent but one delegate to the Ameri-
can Forestry Congress that met this sum-
mer. The reason was that there is radi-
cal difference in the forestry question
South and North. The question the North
has to consider is how to replant its tim
berauds. The question of the South is
how to dispose of the unwasted wealth of
its vast forests.

There are many good things in the
Presidents message, but columns of plati-
tudes in favor OF civil service reform
have no weight when uttered by man
who appoints such debased partisans as
Higgins, Pillsbury and Chase to office.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
The proof OF the sincerity of the President
in the civil service ideas he utters is in
the appointments which he makes. Judged
by this his talk appears hypocritical.

NAVY YARD ACTIVITY.

Washington Preparing To Build Big
Guns and Ready to Construct Cruis-
Crs.
The competitive examination Of candi-
dates for the position Of foromeu at the
Washington navy yard has been completed.
There were about twcnty-six candidates
examined, including all the foremen now
employed in the yard. The board OF ex-
amincrs are naval officers stationed at the
yard. Their report Of the candidates pass
ing n satisfactory examination has been
sent in. From this list the Secretary Of the
Navy will be able to select persons for the
various fOrcmanshps II is learned that
many of the forenGn OF the navy yard
have passed crCditablc examinations. The
Secretary will make quick work in the
appointment Of the fOrcmen As soon as
the yard is rcorgGniZed active work will be
begun. Orders will be sent from the Navy
Department IN few days directing that
work shall Ire resumed at all the navy
yards.
Already work has been begun in the
yards at Mare Island and Brooklyn. At
The remainder Of the yards it will he begun
as soon as the reorganization Of the forces
las been completed. The appointment of
new forces it Is expected will be made In
short time at the yards where they have
not yet been made. On June ] many men
were discharged because of lacks of funds
TO continue work. The opening of the new
fiscal year made a fresh appropriation
available with which work can be CON
tinued, and offers an opportunity for fur
nishing employment.
Commodore Semmes, of the Washington
| navy yard, stated to Il reporter OF THE RE
PUBLICAN last night that the examinations
were completed at the yard. There were
comparatively few applicants. No orders
| had been sent Him as yet to employ more
men. There are about 500 men employed
/ in the yard now, exclusive Of the clerical
force. 10 did not know Of any increase in
work.
A speciality was being made in making
| sails. The Washington navy yard has al
ways been the lowest bidder in sailmaking
/ of all the competing navy yards.
! Preparations were being made for the
manufacture of 1G-inch guns. There was
no positive assurance that they would be
manufactured at the navy yard, but in or
der to be prepared the opportunity for get
| ting ready was being taken advantage of.
| Should orders be received to make these
guns an extra force would be employed.
| The facilities for sailmaking at the yard are
unsurpassed, aud the very best work is
| turned out.
Commodore Scmmes stated further that
the navy yard could in little while be
made into shipyNrd, and the very best
steel cruisers could be built there. The
/ best workmcn could he found here, and the
very best work would be done. There were
no political workmen or "bummersn en-
| ploycd in the navy yard lie did not know
anything about the rumor that machinery,
| &c, would be made at the Washington
yard for the men-of-war to be repaired at
| Brooklyn. lie hoped, however, that plenty
| of work would be found for the mechanics
, now in need of employment.

A VETERAN OFFICERS VIEW.


The Folly of Sending IA Single Police
man in Private Clothes to Capture
RouEhs.
"The papers ought to say something
about the way policemen are sent out on
their beats with imperfect instructions 2"
remarked an cX-policeman yesterday.
"What do you mean ~ asked reporter
for TIE REPUBLICAN.
"Simply this that lieutenant who will
send an officer alone in locality to break
up gang of rowdes or thieves in citizens
clothes does not know his business. When
that officer goes out he does not know what
is before him in the way of trouble. Sin
gle.handed, he is likely to get his head
knocked off, especially in the first pre-
cinct, where there are some cOlOred rOughs
of the worst character. / do not know of
precinct where there .can[be found
worse element. BetlEmen and women-iIr1'
alike, The ignorant class of them when
iladdened act like enraged bulls.
A lieutenant who knows the
danger of such mission, and sends an Off
Ger out to accomplish work that he himself
with whole squad of men should do, is
guilty of wrong. If Officer Shehan had
been sent out with fellow officer, and the
officers in the adjoining beats notified of
their mission, so Us to be in easy calling dis
lance, there would have been no trouble.
/ know that II Is impossible for an officer
in uniform to get upon rowdies, but think
II IL q palpablC wrong to send Il man, how
ever game, into locality known to be the
resort Of cut-throats and thieves"
