sFCRErARY wHIrNEY,s WORK

Secretary WHITNEY's report is a
complete review of bis efforts to build up
. navy and take the United States from
smoug the laughing stocks Of the world.
The success that has attended his admin
istration is tie b;st communication Of its
merits. TIE introduction OF honest, care
ful and business like methods in the Navy
Department has brought forth results
even more encouraging than the most
ardent enthusiast looked for.
Four years ago the construction in
America of a frst-Ciass armored vessel
was impossible. Secretary WHITNEY has
changed all this. To-day there are build
ing in the ship-ysrds dozen armOred
and unarmortd cruisers. and every bolt is
made and every bar is wrought by Ameri
can hands and in American shops. The
United States is independent Every
thing necessary to frst.class fighting ship
can be produced and furnished to the de-
partnent by our own factories.
NC dNLuaA VIVA Va bAoNN-OA AtN'
btea pushed on apace. The report s'gs;
THAT when the ships in course OF con-
struction and these authorized shall have
been completed tie United States will
rank second among the nations in the pos
session of unarmored cruisers CT commerce
destroyers
The above iEcludeI a few of the eTi-
derc:s Of the improvements tia! Rave been
brought INTO the Navy Department. From
q fleet Ci tubs unable TO weather capful
CT wind, sur navy has been built Up into a
formidable arm of defense. The United
States no longer stands unprotected before
nations. We can strike blow for blow.
We can give as we'll as Ike. II is an en-
viable record thst Secretary WHITNEY has
made for the Dem o2rstic administration.
he found nothing, and he bsqueaths to his
successor ths opportunity, if necesss Y, to
make the United States one of tie most
formidable naval powers of the earth.

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION.

The approaching southern immigration
convention to be held at Montgomery on
the 12sh of next month should be wei! at.
ten He'd and it Is to be hoped that the del,
egates appointed by the Governors and
State Commissioners Of Immigration will
represent ths best practical stStemansAip
Of the South.
West Virginia should take 3 prominent

A Southern exchange says on the sub
jsct: Sooner or later We must grapple with
this immigration problem and settle it. Ths
Chssp land of the West will soon be dlled
mp, and thu pressure of circumstances will
force immigration in this direction. Shall
we go into the business in earnest, se:ure

send our agents to Europe? Shall we dis

HEAR Is ANOTHER scandal about duke.
This time i. is about the duke of Suther-
land, who is in trouble. Some years ago
the duke fell in love with a Mrs. JONES.
and since then has spent his time travel
ing with her. The lovers are at present stop
ping az tia BreVoort house, in New York.
Tneir pleasures were to some extent inter
rupt I'd the other day by the receipt of a
telegram announcing the death Of the
duchess OF Sutherland. The duke, with
8 commendable regard for the proprieties,
at once refused to see any callers, and it is
to be hoped feels sincerely ashamed of his
conduct toward his neglected wife.

MODEsTY BELOW PAR.

A few days ago Naw York was shocked
from centre to circumference at the report
that young, plump and pretty girl, an
actress by profession, had refused to ap-
pear on the stage in the regulation tights.
"Sassiety" people wondered how young
girl, in the possession of her seven feminine
senses, could refuse an opportunity to ap
pear on the stage before gaping audience
clad in nothing but fesh-colored tights.
And yet, SO it is. Tie name of tie young
lady who has shocked New York with her
exhibition of prudery is BEATRICE
VAUGHN. According to all accounts Mics
VAUGHN's manager sent her stsge cos
tune and informed her that she must
wear it. The fair BEATRICE stuffed
the costume in the thumb Of an old glove
and returned it to the manager with the
explanation that it was too immodest to
wear.
1t is no wonder that the sction of the
young lady created sensation. Her sis-
ter sctrssses set up what the New York
papers termed "royal howl" The ides
that one of their number should make
public profession of modesty sppeare ! to
paralyze them and made them blush with
anger.
The stage managers also itsppears char
acterizs the idea Of womanly modesty an
exploded one. They declare that the
girls ''cry for tights" and they intimate
that to abolish tights would be to abolish
the drama.
As to BEATRICE VAUGHN she is mar
tyr TO her notions Of modesiy. Discharged
by her manager, she has been defeated in
a salt to recover her salary. So it gees.
She is laughed at by above mentioned
"ssssisty," deridei by her sister actresses,
discharged by her manager, and denied
ustice by the law, all bsclu:e she has as
serted wemanly modssty and self respect.

A Story About Ben Butler.
CHICAGO Tribune

chicago ITlUuHt.
There was a boy in Lowell, the son OF
poor man, who was run over by railroad
train. Both legs had to be amputa.ed close
up to the hips. The company told his
father they would give him 81 900 OF the
boy a practical education. The father &C
cepted the latter alternative, and the rail.
road mad telegraph operator of the Grip
pied boy. When he became Of age he
found he was not getting as good pay as
other operators. He wrote to Gen. Butler
and asked if anything could be done. Gen.
Batter cent for the 10y. TIE whole story
was gone over. ,
"i'll take your case," said the noted
LAWYER. Then he sent for the solicitor Of
the railroad company. When the sole tor
arrived at the generals office the legless
10y was in n chair on the top Of long
table. Gen. Butler explained that he pro-
posed to bring suit for the boy to get dam
Fgas.
But" said the solicitor, we agreed
with his ia'her to give him a practical ed,
ucation. We made a te'egrapher cut OF
him, snd there is no law for getting any
further damages"
you can't tell me anything about the
law" was Gen. Buffers rp'y: but how
much damages do you think that boy
woull get if he sat On table like that be-
fore juiy?"
The railroad lawyer caught the point at
orcs. ~ do not know" he said; how
much do yon think he would ge,?'
About $40 ,0O0," replied Gen. Butler.
'pll compromise with you" hurriedly
returned the lawyer. and by his sbrewd
stage effect Gen. Batter got over s., 900 for
the boy without even going into trial.
The lawyer knew Butler could make 1t
cost the company that much, as we'll as a
good deal OF trouble, and he was glad
enouph to compyO mise.

COMPLETE DEPRAyITY OR MORAL
IDIOCY.


What sort of berg is the White Chsp'
ell murdere;?
While millions Of people in every civil
lized land view with horror and alarm his
crimes the chief actor in that awful series
of butchelies may be perfectly serene and
uudisturbed by single pang Of regret.
1t is possible for a man to be completely
depraved, or he msy be morally an idiot
Perhaps hereditary tendencies account Tor
some of our most startling examples OF de-
pravity and moral idiocy. A case in point
is the history Of a young ghl, who, seventy
years ago, driftsd into q vicious life in New
York. 1t has bsen found that out Of her
nine hundred descendants, raining through
six generations, two hundred are classed
as professional criminals, and m4joIlsy
of the Others are idiots, imteciles, drunk
ards and degraded characters.
But, leaving this question Of heredi y to
be discussed at another time, the moral
nature of tome criminals sppaars to bear
out theory stated some years ago by DR..
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. The doctor
said that in many cases criminals were de-
void of the ordinary moral instincts, that
they were hampered merely by selfish mo-
t:ves, and had no trus remorse, bat only the
dread of the penalties of the law. Such
mea commit crimes just as other people
eat and drink-they Simply crafty what
is with them natural desire.
1t is obviously impossible for morally
sane people to understand the feelings and
mental conditions of such monsters. a
French writer, who evidently sgrees will
DR.. HOLMES, says that moral idiot act
cut his inherited tendencies just as in
nocently as the rattlesnake which we hat'
by instinct. He commits tie most fright
full crimes without the slightest compurc
ton or a shadow of regret, and yet he Il
lust as much a poor dependent, not i'll
meaning citizen OF the universe, as IN
lamb ard the dove. A woman in Pari
frankly admitted, when her husband wa
arrested for rObbiDg and numbering an oil
lady, that she had prayed to GOD that b
might succesd in his enterprise. 1t neVe
struck her that she and her bu. band wer
concarnad IN something that was hoIr.bt
and revolving.
The Wbitechspel fend, the Austin mur
Ger, Mrs. SARAH ROBINSON and JESS
PoMERoy do not belorg 70 the ordinar
run of criminals, and they may belong t
the totally depraved class or the mora
idiots described by Dr.. HOLMES.
The question may arise, Are such pei
CON, ro.pJusIpIe Tor their actions? Wheths
they are or not, when men catch sue
