THE Senate naval committee has q fine
contempt for the sentiment that prompted
the House to vote for the repair and pre-.
servstion Of Admiral Farrsgups old flag.
ship, the Hartford. Senator Hale said to.s
reporter: sour committee Ia not disposed
to waste money repairing old and useless
wooden hulka We are doing what we can
to build up q new navy, and we regard
money spent In repairing ships 40 sppar-
entity worthless As the Hartford is a. prac-
ticsljy thrown away" The prevailing i'm.
preston that secretary Whitney and the
Democratic administration are building the
new navy is evidently displeasing to SEN
ator Hale. His talk about q new navy IL
quite absurd with reference to the Hartford,
which no one dreamed Of preserving a.
anything but . relic OF the bold admiral
who dared to match wooden vessels against
stone forts. The Hartford should be saved
a. We have saved the frigste Constitution
and M the English kept the Victory, the
flagship OF Nelson. The senator may sneer
al the worn out old hulk, but Americans
who know her history must be deeply
offended by that snesr. There Is nothing
in our naval chronicles more stirring than
the record of battle and bravery associated
with that old ship. No matter what the
cost, her preservation would be cheap be-
cause no boy or man could look upon her
and think OF the Mississippi battles and
Mobile without thrill OF patriotic pride
pride Of the kind that must be aroused In
men when the nation needs them on the
battlefield.

The ladies of New York, who recently
formed themselves into Health Protective
association, recommended that Mayor Hew-
lit appoint women as inspectors Of street
cleaning. They are warmly supported in
their demand by the Philadelphia Ledger,
which says: "They understand the business
Of sweeping and cleaning better than men,
and having nothing to do with politics could
attend strictly to their duties as inspectors.
A great mistake is made in not utilizing to
the full the special capabilities Of women for
municipal government-say in directing tho
affairs Of the public schools and in such in
spections as a good housewife is qualified to
make. There need be no question in this Of
equality Of sexes, but an actual recognition
Of the inequality due TO training and eduea-
ton, which makes women better fitted for
such work than men. New Orleans Plea

The question has been asked, "Has the
United States ever abandoned the right Of
Frivateeringf'
No. Mr.. Marcy, secretary Of state in 1855,
when most civilized states abolished it by the
declaration of Paris, offered to have tho
United States join in the whole declaration
if "the clause abolishing privateering were
amended by adding that the private prop
erty Of the subject or citizen of belligerent
on the high seas should be exempted from
seizure by public armed vessels Of the other
belligerent, except it be contraband Of war;
This kind offer was declined without thanks.
Mr. Marcy's idea was that if privateering
was abolished, the property Of a nation
maintaining a small navy would be entirely
at the mercy Of a nation maintaining a large
navy. In 1861, when the Confederates were
thinking Of issuing letters of marque to
privateers, Secretary Seward offered to Join
in the declaration, without the Marcy amend
ment but the French and English govern
ments declined this kind offer also, except
on condition that it should not take effect as
against the Confederate States. So as re
CARDS privateering the United States stands
with the late Barbary states, not in any very
enviable light.

Il cost the emperor Of Austria 5000, 900 to
entertain the car for three days at Krem-
sier, in 1885, and the bills for putting the
archbishop Of Olmlitz's palace in repair and
for decorating and furnishing it for the oc-
