THE OUTLOOK FoRANAvY.

Constructor Wilson's statement of the con-
dition and prospects Of the navy are not very
encouraging. At the present time we have
but one frst-class wooden ship, and she is
GOOD 1or put SIX months We have six iron
vessels, but all of them are of an inferior
class, and of no practical value in a contest
with the modern ironclads of foreign nations.
AT the present time we are the feeblest ma
val power on earth, and when the ships that
are now under contract are constructed we
shall still be good way behind the great
naval powers of Europe.
Bad as this condition is it would be more
hopeful did Congress show any adequate re-
alization of our necessities and manifest a
disposition to supply them. But the history
of all legislation for a good many years past

Gen. Warner, who is a Democrat, and a
member of the present House, is very de-
spondent over the outlook for his party in
Ohio. His opinion is that the Democrats are
sure of carrying only five of the districts now
held by them. The free trade programme of
the Morrison group has made deep inroads in
to the ranks of the Buckeye Democracy.

Were it not for the tax collector, the island
of Martinicus would enjoy an almost idyllic
freedom from the restraints of social machin-
cry. On the little domain of seven hundred
acres and forty families there is no doctor,
lawyer, minister or rum seller.

Notwithstanding the croakings of the adj
yocates of license, it seems to be certain that
prohibition has at least not hurt the business
of Atlanta. Trade steadily increases; rail-
road shipments show large gains; and taxes
are collected more promptly than in 1885.

Mr. Richard A. Proctor administers to
Virgins, the pretended prophet, severe and
well deserved rebuke in the columns of the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat He describes
Virgins as an uneducated and unscientifc
charlatan, bent simply on getting himself
talked about by prophecies that have no sci
entiic basis and which there is no reason to
believe will be fulfilled. Did his prophesies
minister simply to his own vanity they would
do no harm, but superstitious and timid peo-
pie are occasioned a great deal of mental suf-
fering by them, and in some cases, no doubt
considerable financial loss has been incurred
by seamen who have laid up their vessels in
anticipation of predicted hurricane, which
never occurred. As there is no law that can
reach his case Virgins will continue to -four
ish as long as there are newspapers willing to
publish his prophecies. When they refuse to
print his vaporings there will be any end of
Virgins.

General Sherman has stirred up the domi-

Bartholomew, the Hartford defaulter, ap-
parently made very little, if anything, for
himself out of his operations. He was man
ager of number of corporations, and he
used the surplus of the strong ones to put
the weak ones on their feet This course he
had pursued for years. and always with sue
cess, paying back the money borrowed, until
he struck the Union Silk Company. This
concern resisted all his efforts to make ii
pay, and finally collapsed, carrying down
with it the surplus he had borrowed for its
benefit from the other corporations with
which he was connected He kept no books,
but all his transactions were recorded on
slips fpaper, and though Ineligible to him,
were Greek to everybody else. His crooked
operations would have come to light years
ago had the directors of any of the corpora
tons compelled him to make statement,
but they had full confidence in him and en-
couraged him to manage their business as if
it was his own private affair."

1t will be great advantage to Texas if the
rent in the Democratic party there is perma-
nent The enormous majorities that have in
times past been rolled up for the Democratic
ticket have made the party the only political
factor worth mentioning. But this gear
large faction of the party styling themselves
Independents, have held convention. They
are chiefly temperance people, and as the
growth of the temperance sentiment has been
rapid and extensive in Texas, there is fair
prospect that the new party may become
valuable agent in breaking up party lines.

A Commendable Showing.

The Police Court yesterday presented a
strange contrast to that of the preceding
day. On Wednesday the court held the
longest session on record. Yesterday the
docket, as sent around by the Chief of
Police, contained only one case, and that
was only a charge of drunkenness, which
was dismissed in honor of the day.
About 10 o'clock Policeman Griffin
came into court, having in custody a
small negro boy named John Thomas.
John is only about ten years of age, and
though of tender years has been several
times to Jail. On this occasion he was
charged with entering the bar-roOm of
Thomas Haney with intent to commit lar
ceny. John was found behind the bar about
8 o'clock yesterday morning in reclining
position He was discovered by sister
of Mr.. Haney, who said she took him at
first for some kind Of a black bundle or
overcoat. Her attention was first attract
ed by seeing the supposed bundle move.
The alarm was given, and John was
handed over to the stern custodians of
law and order.
In view Of his being an old $50 TO
speak offender, Police Justice Richard
son sent him on to the grand jury.
Several parties were reported for or
dinance violations, and discharged with
admOnitions.
