Make Haste SLOWLY.

There h danger that In our sudden
Eeallxation Of the need of navy we may
spend good lot of cash and get bad
II Of ships. SO far the new vessels have
8iven great satisfaction, and the navy
building, and ON paper, Is quite impress
sive evidence Of our intention to be strong
enough to hold our own on the seas bye
and bye. We should by all means go on
building until we are at least as well
prepared for naval warfare As Japan or
Chill, II not as strong ms Germany or
Italy, but we cannot achieve this end
by the Wholesale building Of ships after
untried models. The disabling Of the
Trenton by water coming through the
hawse pipes appeared incredible To the
experts of the construction department I;
and the recent trial of new English ships
revealed undreamt Of faults i'm vessels
that formed models for our navy. These
things support the dictate of prudence
that Il Is not well to build many ships
Of kind at once. The naval architec-
ture OF to-day is on new lines and largely
experimental, and until the vessels have
been tried and their weak points dis
covered IL would he better 10 build with
great caution.
The New York Press, which is sup
posed to be in close sympathy with the
administration, urges an appropriation
Of so, ,OO0, 900 for new vessels in addition
TO those already authorized E; and pro-
poses to build with this nine coast de-
fense ships, eight dynamite gunboats
and ten submarine torpedo boats. The
value of the last two classes has never
been actually proved. There is general
confidence In the dynamite cruiser, but
not much faith In the curious submarine
boats. II both are so successful as to
Justify the building Of fleets of them, the
fifteen million dollars worth of coast
defense ships will not be wanted as
planned, for they would only be targets
for dynamite and torpedoes. The Press
says " small appropriations, resulting in
mixed types and wasted time, do not
give honest expression to serious naval
policy" +" Very large appropriations
may result i'm uniformly defective types
and wasted time and money. Let us be
sure we are right, and then go ahead.

Number 81.

BIN No. 81, which the Philadelphia
Record says was In the handwriting of
Alexander X. Pedrick, Pennsylvania
railroad lobbyist, who has reporters

pany, who keeps things solid for il i'm

letter to the members of councils ON
April 18th, enclosing IA copy Of a resolu-
ton supporting and recommending the
passage In the Legislature of bill No. 81.
saying that it would give him pleasure
TO have your vote and support for the
passage Of this resolution"
The councilmen were evidently dis
posed to give Mr.. Latta pleasure and
adopted the resolution, recommending
bill No. 52, Notwithstanding Mayor Filter
had taken position against it.
II Is fair to say that Mr.. Latta prom
lsed them that the mayors objections
would be removed by amendment and
that Furthermore bill No. - has "A seduc-
tive righteousness about il, in that il
proposes the abolition of grade CROSSING.
which everyone would like to see.
The peculiarity about the bill, how
ever, Is that il does not apply TO grade
crossings that are laid, but only TO those
that are proposed and only applies to
cities Of the first and second class
Philadelphia and Allegheny. 1t dos
not permit the city authorities to au-
thOfize any grade crossings and tie
fhiladelphia councils Were very humble
indeed to ask the Legislature To take from
tansm such power. The bill requires all

Murrell,s Opportunity.

The good people of Philadelphia over
whelmed Captain Murrell with their
praises and attentions. The gallant
captain had all the adjectives in the
language poured out on his head, and
evidently thought the folks were wild.
He said that he had only done his duty
and did not merit 50 much applause.
And he was right. The captain is a
sensible man evidently. If he had been
of the sort Of the people who made SO
much fuss oser him, he might not have
been SO successful in saving his seven
hundred lives. 1t is largely because
this il an unprecedented salvage that
the people have been so wrought up
about it. For number of days the
thought that so many people might have
perished on the Danmark has been
stirring peoples sensibilities, and the
JOY on hearing that all had been saved
has been great, and their savior gets the
full benefit Of it.
Captain Murrells conduct was very
good and noble and his success was very
great in saving the imperilled without
the loss of one lie did his whole duty
and did ii well aud if he had not done
1t he would have been as hotly con-
tiemned as he is now warmly praised. 1t
was simply his duty that he did;
but the man who does well his
duty always deserves applause, though
he does not often get il. He needs TO do
something unusual to ret it and he
needs to he very successful. A man
may do his duty every day, as doubtless
Captain Murrell has all his life, and lust
as efficiently as he did when he met the
Danmark; but the Danmark's 700 en-
dangered lives made all the difference to
Captain Murrell between obscurity and
fame. Such is life; opportunity makes
its success. The man who Is ALWAYS
ready to seize ii, gets the reward when il
comes his way and when il don't, he
misses 1t and the misses are vastly more
numerous than the hits. Nevertheless
the lesson of Captain Murrell teaches our
youth to be always ready and ALWAYS
earnest In the discharge of their daily
duties, that when opportunity comes it
may not find them sleeping.

perpetuation Of railroad monopoly, they
would not want the power to permit
new grade crossings; but while the old
roads are enjoying the privilege Of grade
crossings, 1t does not seem that the city
should lie deprived Of power TO give
privileges to new and competing roads.
If grade crossings are such nuisance
that the law should prohibit new ones,
they may fairly be considered such null
sances that the law should abolish the
old ones. Let the Legislature amend
bill No. SO, so as TO make all grade cross
ings unlawful after two years from Its
passage, and removing them then as
nuisances, not only In cities Of the first
and second class, but I'm all towns ana

Allcgheny's White.

Judge White, of Pittsburg, has been
emulating the Philadelphia judges In
their aim to reduce the number OF
drinking places. He has licensed but
1ss places this year i'm Allegheny county.
There were 5000 saloons i'm the county,
1900 being i'm Pittsburg, two years ago.
The first year of high license they were
cut down to 500, and now White has
nearly wiped them out.
Some people may applaud him.
We do not. We have noted the
temper in which he has done his
work, and find IL TO have been
bad. He has exhibited prejudice and
lack of fairness. He has treated the
applicants for license with contumely
and has abused the powers intrustcd to
him. His adjudication has been arbi-
trary aud not Judicial.
This IL our criticism Of the man; of his
work we have TO say, as we said Of that
of the Philadelphia judges, that 1t was
done in misjudgment of the intent of the
law, which was to give every proper APP
plicant license who asked for II and paid
the fee. The judges duty il simply to see
that licenses go into hands that will not
abuse them, and not To determine, upon
their arbitrary judgment, the number
of licenses n town should have. The
high license fee was intended to he the
governor against any excess In number
and II would have been In time efficient.
But some people, clothed with authority,
cannot but abuse it, and Judge White Is
of that kind. Next year, II prohibition
fails, White may prohibit, and grant no
licenses
