Hon. Calvin 5. Brice was nominated for
the United States Senate in the Democratic
caucus at Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday OF
last week, the choice being effected on the
second ballot, and was made unanimous.
The promptness with which the nomina-
ton was made, after a wide scattering OF
the complimentary votes for other promi-
nent and worthy men in the preliminary
balloting shows how resolute are the Dem
ocrats OF the Buckeye State in the determ-
nation to hold the place they have taken in
the Democratic column, and TO rebuke the
Vaccinations of open foes and secret traitors
who misreprcse mt their motives and malign
those whom they honor.

The death of Judge VIM. ID. Kelley re.
moves from the National House of Repre-.
sen:atives striking figure. He had served
continuously for twenty eight years. For hall
that time he has led his delegation, and for
len years he has been the accepted leader Of
the Republican majority at Washington
His career for generation has given visible
reiItation to the frequent falsehoods that
public life offers neither permanency or use
fulness, that it is open to the rich and closed
to the poor, that districts drop tried servants
for new candidates, that parties and voters
alike are unsparingin furnishing independ
ence in speech and principle. Judge Kelley
espoused views which had the support OF
neither time nor truth. He had his faults,
and what stormy life stretching through a
generation of tempestuous times is without
lnem2 He was strick party man, but his
convictions were honest. The servant of the
public from early manhood he had accumu-
lated but little OF this worlds goods.

ture emanating from the lottery cOmpaa
The naval Department.

The construction and equipment of the
new ships for the navy have made very
satisfactory progress. Since March 4,
1883, nine new vessels have been put in
commission, and during this winter four
more, including one monitor; will be
added.
The construction, of the other vessels
authorized is being pushed, both in the
government and private yards, with en-
ergy and watched with the most scrupu-
lous care.
The experiments conducted during the
year to test the relative resisting power
of armor plates, have been so valuable as
to attract great attention in Europe.
The only part of the work upon the
new ships that is threatened by unusual
delay is the armor plating and every
effort is being made to reduce that to the
minimum.
tits source of congratulation that tAe
anticipated influence of these modern
ships upon the esprit de corps Of the
officers and seamen has been fully
realized. Confidence and pride in, the
ship among the crew are equivalent to a
secondary battery. Your favorable con-
sideration is invited to the recommends
tons Of the secretary.

The War Department.

The report Of the secretary of wal
shows several gratifying results attained
during the year by wise and unostenta-
tons methods. The percentage of deser-
tons from the army (for which both con-
gress and the department have been long
seeking a remedy has been reduced dur
ing the past year "a per cent and for the
months of August and September, during
which time the favorable effects of the
act of June 16, were only 80 per cent as
compared with the same months of 1889.
The results attained by a reorganiza-
ton and consolidation of the divisions
having charge of the hospital and ser
vice records of the volunteer soldiers are
very remarkable. This change was
effected in July. 1889, and at that time
there were 1864 cases awaiting atten-
ton. more than half of these being calls
from the pension claims.
On the Both of June last, though over
three hundred thousand new calls had
come in. there was not single case that
had not been examined and answered.
COAST DEFENsEs.
concur in the recommendations of the
secretary that adeo uate and regular ap-
propriations be continued for coast de-
tense works and ordnance
Plans have been practically agreed
upon and there can be no good reason for
delaying the execution of them, while
the defenseless state of our great sea
ports furnishes an urgent reason for wise
expedition.
The assistance that has been extended
to the militia of the states generally and
most appropriately designated the ma
tlonal Guard" should be continued and
enlarged. These military organizations
constitute in large sense, the army of
the United States, while about five-sixths
OF the annual cost of their maintenance
is betrayed by states.

Postomcs Department.

The report of the postmaster-general
shows the most gratifying progress in the
important work committed to his direc-
ton. The business methods have been
greatly improved by large economy in
expenditure and an increase of four
and three-quarter millions in re-
ceipts have been realized. The de-
fciency this year is S., 7SS, 300 as against
$3.50, 1S3 last year, notwithstanding the
great enlargement of the service. Mail
routes have been extended and quickened
and greater accuracy and dispatch in dis
tribution and delivery have been at
tanned.
The report viii be found to be full of
interest and suggestion not only to con-
gress, but to those citizens who may be
interested to know what business meth
DDS can do for that department of public
administration which most nearly touches
all our people.
THE ANTI-LoTTERY ACT.
The passage of the act to amend GER
tain sections OF the revised statutes re-
lating to lotteries, approved September
Is, 1890. has been received with great
and deserved popular favor.
HE postoffice department and the de-
partment OF justice at once entered upon
the enforcement Of the law with sympa-
thetic vigUr, and already the public mails
have been largely freed from the fraudu-
lent and demoralizing appeals and iters-
