The Dflatery Charleston why
should Not the Nation Build
GhtnsAS

There is something unsccountable
about the dilatory way the Charleston is
being prepared for sea. 1t will be re-
membered that it was announced that
in case of a difficulty with Germany
about Samoa, the Charleston could be
got ready in two weeks. That is some
thing over three months ago, and yet she
still fingers lovingly in the lap of the
Union Iron Works. What can the mat
ter be? The defects in the machinery
were reported as very trifling, but trifes
generally do not consume months in
rectifying. 1t is greatly to be regretted
if there is any serious drawback in the
construction of the Charleston. 1t will
be remembered that, on the trial trip
the representatives of the press of Sar
Francisco we're excluded from the yes
sci. This was a high-handed piece
of bureaucratic impudsnce. The
people pay for the construction
of these vessels and they have the right
to know what becomes of their money.
OF course the right to representation on
trial cruises should be limited, but il
should be sufficiently large to admit OF
all the accredited news agencies and the
leading papers being fully acquainted
with all the essential facts of such expert
mental trips. In addition, on such occs-
sions, the Government ought to be repre-
sented by an expert whose duty it shall
be to furnish the press with fair and &C.
curate data of the results of all tests.
The old nonsense of undertaking the
press ought to be dismissed at once and
forever from the departmental admins
tration of the Govern ment. Richelieu
said the pen was mightier than the
sword, and the press Of the United States
is an aggregation of pens of an irresista-
BILE force.
Here have we been concentrating our
whole force on building few cruisers
and dispatch boats, and one of the
former, built on the Pacific Coast, seems
to be far from satisfactory. As the
HERALD has asked before, "why should
not the Government build its own
ships of war;" How much longer can
we afford to be dependent on the chance
success of private plants? From the
snail-like way in which we advance on
projects that concern the national dig
nifty one would think that we are a
pauper nation, instead of country
which is oppressed by large surplus.
The sooner we shake off this degrading
national inertia the better

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The case 81
John b. Hussey, Chief of the Pension
Division, Third AUDITORS Office, who is
charged with having made fraudulent
use OF the files of that Office, has been
referred to the Solicitor of the Treasury
for such action as is deemed necessary
1t is impossible to learn the precise char.
acter of the evidence against Hussey, bu,
it is understood that recent investiga.
ton of his office disclosed the fact that
official information concerning pension
cases pending has been improperly
furnished to outside parties. Solicitor
Hepburn refuses point blank to discuss
the matter, and will not even admit that
be knows anything whatever of the case
Hussey still retains his Office in the de,
partment. He has been in very bad
health for many weeks and is still con

The CrOntn Suspects.

CHICAGO, July 30-The motion of P.
o. Sulivan's attorney for a change of
venue was argued before Judge Horton
this morning. In regard to the action
to quash the indictments against the
other prisoners, counsel opposed immedi-
ste consideration. The Court took the
whole matter under advisement.
WINNIPEG, July 30.-The full court
gave judgment today in Martin Burke's
appeal. The judgment was delivered by
Chief Justice Taylor. Judge Dubuse and
Judge Killam concurred in finding that
there was no grounds for reversing the
action of Judge Balm, who committed
Burke for extradition. Burke, therefore
goes back as soon as the necessary order
comes from Ottawa.

CINCINNATI has lively time trying to
make Sunday in her pious borders as
quiet as good people think the Lords
day ought to be. More rumpus was
made there on Sunday in trying to en-.
force blue law regime than all the beer
sold on many previous Sundays had
created. We are not half Americanized
yet. When we come to feel in their full
force the liberal principles laid down by
the founders ofthis Republic, then all men
will in these matters do as they please free
from meddlesome dictation at the hands
of even their fellow citizens. The true
American doctrine is that every man
does as he pleases up to the point of in
terfering with the substantial rights Of
his neighbor. Under the head of sub.
stsntial rights do not fall whims and
rather blue-hued opinions. 1t will be a
distinct gain to real religion Of the
broad-gauge sort when this view of the
matter prevails.

following upon the completion Of the
Sunset and Atchison, Tope ka and Santa
Fe railways had undoubtedly been
pushed to point that anticipated the
current day and year of grace. But
even as it was, the initiation had been
restricted to outside lands. Nature and
estheticism, however, are independent OF
the transactions of real estate dealers
and, notwithstanding the collapse Of the
paper town projects, the Los Angeles

Incompatible beauty as before,

still the same spot which made the most
eloquent bishop of the Methodist church
pronounce Los Angeles the American

ready the signs abound that we are about
to emerge from momentary eclipse that
never ought to have occurred, and that
never would have occurred if our real

PETER JACKSON.
The Colored Pugflfst Roughly Han.
died by Amateurs.

BUFFALO, July 30.-Peter Jackson, the
colored Australian pugilist, gave an ex-
hibition here last night. This afternoon,
in the corridor of the hotel, Tom Lees, a
member of Jackson's company, asked for
his salary, saying he was going to leave
the combination. Jackson said he had
no money, and after a dispute, the two
engaged in a slugging match, in which
Jackson was partly "dowped" by his
opponent, but gave Lees some vicious
blows. The men were separated and
Lees was elected.
THE IRISH GIANT TACKLES HIM.
Jackson was billed tonight to spar four
rounds with Tom Lynch, the Irish giant
a big local athelete. Somebody put ii
into Lynch's head that he could down
the darkey, and he sailed into him with
that evident intent. The two men be.
gan humping each other with might and
main, and the crowd yelled with de.
light. Finally in the second round, with
= curse that could be heard for blocks
Lynch grabbed Jackson by the legs
pulled his pins from under him and
jumped on him. The audience sprang
into their chairs and yelled until the rooi
cracked. The police rushed in and put q
stop to the pugllism.

ANOTHER FAILURE.
A Large Boot and shoe Firm Goes
Under.

BosToN, July 30.-The failure of the
boot and shoe firm of E. A. and A. II.
Bachelor & Co., Boston and North
Brook field, was announced this morning,
with liabilities of $l00, 900, and nominal
assets of probably about the same
amount. An assignment has been made
for the benefit of the creditors, to Thomas
f. Proctor and Robert Bachelor, OF
North Brookfeld, and meeting
of creditors will be called as soon
as definite statement of the
firms affairs can be prepared.
The firm is one of the Oldest in it's line
in the country, having been established
in North Brookfield in 1919. The factory
at North Brookfield is one of the largest
and best equipped in the country, and
gives employment to l 100 hands, calling
for weekly payroll OF over $40, 900.
This is the only industry of the town,
and the failure will be heavy blow.
This is one of the ten firms in Worcester
county that had long contest with the
Knights of Labor iu 1887, lasting some
five months, and this struggle, which
resulted in favor of the manufacturers,
was very expensive, and has undoubt-
edlv contributed, directly or indirectly,
to the present embarrassment. The
immediate cause of the failure is the
large losses made by, A. H. Bachelor
outside of the business, and the fact that
recent large failures in the leather trade,
followed by Lewis Brothers & Conpany's
failure, added to the ill.health of the
senior member of the firm, having rend-
cred it difficult to obtain money on the
firms commercial paper. 1t is undoubt-
edly true that the manufacturing bust
ness of the firm has been profitable, and
this makes it likely that the business
will be re.established under some ar
rangement between the firm and its
creditors.
