who is chairman of the naval committee on
the New York centennial board, waited upon
Secretary Tracy to-day with some Of the mem
bers Of the committee to talk over the program
of the naval demonstration at the celebration.
As result of the conference it is probable
that the navy will be represented on equal
terms with the army at the centennial The
present idea is to invite Admiral Porter, the
highest officer in rank in the navy, to take
change of the naval forces, or if he should not
be able to undertake the duties of the place
then Rear Admiral Jouett, or some other high
officer, may be requested to assume charge
With this change in the program the active CO.
operation of the Navy department will be as
sured, and every naval vessel within easy reach
will probably be ordered to New York to assist
in carrying out the program.

POVERTY and discomfort in Germany
have driven the government to adopt
the principle of paternal socialism.
Laws looking to the relief and protec-
ton of the working people have been
framed and adopted, and are as fast
as practicable being put into execu-
ton. These provide for assurances of
all kinds, regular relief to widows and
aged persons, and, in fact, for all de-
pendents. This step by Germany, the
strongest of the European powers, is
likely to be followed by others, and a
few years may see the principle spread
throughout the continent.
