Does Not Want TO See.

The Philadelphia Press does not see, or
does not want to see, the difference be-
tween an assault upon the policy of the ad-
ministration and one upon the policy ofthe
president. The administration of the
nation is in the hands Of the party that
controls the executive and Congress. The
Democratic party controls the administra-
ton, because the president and the lower
House of Congress are Democratic and
the party has the power, limited by the
control Of the Senate, to fill the offices of
the federal administration. The policy of
the administration is not settled alone by
the president, however powerful his infiu-
ence may be over it. Andrew johnson did
not control the administration Of the
country, because an. opposition Congress
hamstrung his political muscles. President
Cleveland is in harmony with his party and
has its support generally, with more or less
difference Of opinion upon various matters
of political policy. All the critics, how
ever, mingle with the whole mass and
make united political party constituting
the administration of the country.
The trouble with the Republican politi-
clan is that he cannot understand the
Democratic tendency to freedom Of opin-
ion. He thinks that because Attorney
Benton disapproved the silver and civil
service ideas of the president, that he
therefore opposed the policy of the admins
tration and fell under the objurgation ad
dressed by the president to all Office
holders who accept government Office
and then use their faculties to tear il
from power. But Attorney Benton j:
clearly not of this class he does not seei
the overthrow of the administration, but
supports it. His objection is to the presi
dents definition of Democratic policy
and the question in issue is as to what shall
be the policy of the administration. At.
torney Stone is opposed to the administra.
ton, whatever its policy; Attorney Ben
ton is for it, whatever its policy. There
are two political machines in the country
and We understand the president to say
that if the supporters of the opposing ma
chine want employment on the machine
he is running, they will need to keep their
hands in their pockets and a civil tongue
in their heads, and not exhibit themselves
on the highways abusing his machine with
noisy defamation and showing themselves
bent upon running it off the track.

THE secretary of the navy swallows very
dissgreeable pill in most manly fashion. He
finds that the vessels just built for the navy
are conspicuous and disastrous failures, and
that this country cannot build vessels Of the
right kind until 1t has procured the means
OF making the armOr and heavy forgings for
them. To wait for this would involve a long
delay and five years must elapse before the
country can bsye navy of any respectable
strength. This is certainly a disagreeable
state of things, but as the only alternative is
the buying of the iorgings and armor abroad
the government will have to follow Mr..
Whltney's advice and accept the consolation
that by waiting Tor the development OF home
industry our position will in the end be one
OF greater strength. The secretary says that
the one characteristic OF an unsrmoTed cruiser
must be great speed, and the miserable per.
iormance of the Atlanta shows that as a
cruiser she will be useless while she ID moi
designed 10 bear the weight OF heavy armor
and SO cannot be used 70 give and receive
hard knocks in battle.
What shall We do with her?

A Too Ugly Il, u,

The w. G. T. u, Of st. Louis, have
adopted resolution that is not at all to
their credit. They have had the bad taste
TO comment on the fact that Mrs. Whitney,
the wife of the secretary of the navy, gave
dinner to ladies at which wine was served ,
and they have further had the impudence
TO "express their mobilization and regret
that ladies in this high social position
should themselves set this bad example To
hepeople." They have added the climax
10 this sample OF eifrontery and ill-breeding
by resolving 10 transmit copy of their res
olutions to Mrs. Cleveland who was present
on the occasion referred to. These resolu.
tions are SO bigoted and narrow-minded
that they cannot be defended by any mar
or woman whose judgment ha, not beer
impaired by an attack of temperate,

THE New York chamber OF commerce has
taken alarm at the opinions expressed by ex'
ports on the defenseless condition of the
hsrbor and plunged besdlong intoa discus
sion OF the relative value OF diierents sorts
Of great guns They were brought to their
senses by the iorcinle reminder OF one of
their number that they knew nothing at all
about the matter, and that 1t was none of their
business at any rate The most that they
could do was to petition Congress to act In
the matter. An expert has recently said that
there is not a sound gun in the English ser.
vice, that even Krupp's new steel guns can
not he fi-Hi with safety once In FIVE minutes.
when these statements are allowed to stand
contrsdicted it is evident the business of

THE New York Independent, Of rather

he did not stay long enough before his death
to be known by sight to the neigh bors.

OF the line of his thought, which finds it:

The Sch0ll Observatory.

Wepublish to-day detailed account of
the Schol observatory of Franklin and
Marshall college which is now in complete
working order and well worthy Of visit
from all who appreciate the value of scien-
tiic work. Equipped with reliable instru-
ments, under the care of an able astrono-
mer, it must soon make name for itself
in astronomical work and should receive
the hearty encouragement of all the CON-
munity for though the value of such an
institution to the locality may be rather
hard to define, yet it undoubtedly exists in
the impetus given TO the study of the many
sciences bearing on astronomy and the
value of scientific work to the world is SC
self.evident and widely acknowledged as
to need no proof. Our citizens should take
| just pride in the possession Of an observa
| tory second to none in accuracy Of its in
strunents ; and the debt of 81 800 now car.
ried by a committee of public spirited
gentlemen should soon be wiped out. We
welcome the Scholl observatory with full
confidence in the energetic young astrono,
mer who controls it and prophecy that it
will rapidly grow in popular and scientific
favor.

Modern dress reform is becoming Of more

is among the feminine sphere Of that city that
she Is raising her voice in advocacy OF the
dress reform to result In better physical con.
dition OF her sex, and thus through the whole
human race. Mrs Miller before her mar
rage was Miss Annie Jenness, a
New England girl of the typical Boston
production and a descendant of the same
parent stock as Wendell Phillips and Dr..
Oliver Wendell Holmes. No eUlOgy can do
justice to the talent, energy and devotion
which Mrs. Miller constantly displays in her
self imposed task; suffice Il 10 say that by in
shutting the dress reform Mrs. Miller declares
with emphasis that all women can and must
be well and beautiful, and she presents in
support of her theory the fact that the sncisnts

Forest Fires.

The Grass Valley Tdings Of the 25th
inst. says: "At neon to-day, the eastern
heavens were dense with smoke, indicative
of q huge fire somewhere in the tall timber
above us. Even the odor of the fire can be
scented herein Grass Valley. A party who
came down from the upper country says
that about eleven miles of timber land is
now in flames in Sierra Valley, and that
the smoke now visible in the heavens has
blown from that fire.
The Nevada City Herald of the oath
speaks of a wood fire in that vicinity as
follows: Zone OF the most destructive
forest fires that ever visited this part of the
State is now raging on the ridge between
Eureka and Moore's Flat. The whole
country from Relief Hill to Moore's Flat
has been burnt over. and the destruction to
timber is almost beyond calculation. On
Wednesday, on account of the density of
the smoke, and the neat of the flames, it
was impossible to get the mail through.
Several attempts were made to carry 1t
through to Moore's Flat on horseback, but
they were all unsuccessful. For several
days a force of over 200 men have been
fighting the fire, but all their efforts are not
able to stay its progress. Unless heavy
rains should come soon, there is no telling
where it may stop"
Another mountain exchange says: San
extensive forest fire has been raging in the
Wagon Valley region, between Shasta and
Strawberry Valleys, south and west of the
Black Butte"
The country surrounding Alturas is en-
veloped for miles in q smoky haze which
settles with great heat and thickens in the
evening. The smoke is supposed to have
had its origin in fires in the timber belts
near the Oregon line.

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child liv-
ing in a region of country where fever and
ague is prevalent, since the germs of ma
larial disease are inhaled from the air and
are swallowed from the water of such a re-
gion. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely
necessary to nullify this danger. As a
means of terrifying and acclimating the
system SO as to be able to resist the mala-
rial poison, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
incomparably the best and the most popu-
lar. Irregularities of the stomach, liver
and bowels encourage malaria but these
are speedily rectified by the Bi;ters. The
functions of digestion and secretion are as
sisted by its use, aud a vigorous as well as
regular condition of the system promoted

defended against the inroads of malaria by

certain and thorough remedy in the worst
cases Of intermittent and remittent fevers.
