THE MUD STUCK DESPATCH.
Is the Secretary Responsible for Her
Running AgrOund--The Peculiar Po-
>itiOn of the Secretary i'm the Matter.
[Ry United Press,

by United Press.l
WASHINGTON, b. c., March 1S.-A
court Of inquiry will probably be ordered
to determine the responsibility for the
Despatch running aground on lower Ce
dar Point Shoal in the Potomac River.
such is almost invariably the custom
when United States vessel meets with
mishap of this kind, and at the Navy De-
partment this is believed to be the course
that will BE- followed in this instance
The fact that Secretary Tracy was on
board the Despatch may compli
cate matters somewhat as, tech
nically, when the Secretary of
the Navy is aboard of United States
vessel, by virtue of his office, he is the
ranking officer, and in ordering court
OF inquiry, Secretary Tracy in this case
would IN technical sense be c)nstitu
ting court to inquire into his own sea
manShip, or lack of it. No one for an
instant imagineS that lawyer, when he
becomes secretary of the navy, imme-
diately develops into sea captain, so
that if this technical construction is not
advanced, Lieut.. W. S Cowles the real
commander OF the Despatch would orii
narlly be held responsible for the mis-
hap. Lieut.. Cowles, in letter
to the navy department simply
reports that the Despatch is hard
and fast Information by river men is
to the effect that at the point where the
De pate ran aground the regular chan
mel is sixty feet deep Near this point
are two lighthouses Matthias Point
Lighthouse and Smiths Point Light
house. It is supposed that the Despatch
was being steered by range and rot by
chart, and that the navigating officer
mstook one lighthouse for the her At
the time of the accident the Despatch
was running with a full head OF steam
and landed high on the shoals. 1t hap
pened about 4 O'Clock Saturday after
noon, in broad daylight, but the wind
was blowing almost Il gale at the time.

WASHINGTON, March 1S-Senate. In
the Senate to-day the urgency deficiency
bill was taken up and passed. The
Blair Educational Bill was taken up and
Mr. Haw)ey argued i'll opposition to It.
1t was part OF series OF
movements, looking to the absorption if
the railroad and telegraph and savings
banks systems Of the country. All that,
he IA : was a p1rt OF some general
dream that s0mr hing could be evolved
out OF the inner CONSCIOUSNESS which
wOnld be greater and better than
what now existed The bill was
bad encngh and went far enough
in the direction of trespaSslng; :;
on State rights and State duties, but
more than this, it abandoned the original
theory of the government and launched
the government on ~ unbounded s'a OF
wild schemes.
The bill he said, tended in the wrong
direction 1t assumed unnecessary
labor for he nation and put upon the
Federal government that which
was properly the duty of the States
Schools and education were clearly
matters left to the people. II that mat

Mr. Moo iy and Mr.. Chandler spoke

be assumed that the maximum of
pension expenditures would be
reached about July /, 1894, when 1t
would reach $112, 200, coo and the mum
Der of pensioners would be $50, 900. Mr.
Sa, ,ers, of Texas, severely criticised the
administration of the pension Office, and
citei many instances where he claimed
tuat the decisions Of the bureau were in
corrcc and improper
Mr. Peters, Of Kansas, defended the
administration Of the bureau, asserting
that there was nothing unreasonable il

made. 80 far as the aggregate Of IN
crease was concerned,i 1T reflected credit

MANNERS OF MEN.

The man who has shown his capablli-
ty of taking care of himself never lacks
for others TO take care of.
If a man controls his wrath with the
first offender. his temper gets that much
the better of him with the second.
About the only pleasure some men
take in knowing Il thing is laughing at
the ignorance Of the man who does not
know it.
At one time in a mans life he is too
young to know what he says, and at an
other he is too old to say what he knows.
Take conceit away from the average
man, and there is nothing left of him
except capacity TO chew yictuals and di-
gest them.
The man who has little to do is always
the most popular. The man who is
rushed and busy gets cross and cranky,
and is disliked more than if lie were an
idle man and had time TO devote to
others.-Atchison Globe.

A SECOND IsoUIsITlON.

Just two months from today the
census takers will simultaneously start
all over the country gathering facts to
go towards making what Mr.. Porter
says in advance will be the most exact
census ever compiled. They will be
equipped with thirty questions which
will be fred at short range. Among
the questions to be answered by every
citizen are these:
''Whether he is suffering from acute
or chronic disease, with the name Of
the disease, and the length of time the
citizan has been afflicted;
Whether the citizen is defective in
mind, sight, hearing, or speech; or
whether crippled, manned or deformed;
and the name of his physical defect;
Whether, III case the citizen owns a
house or farm, his house or farm is
fres from mortgage or incumbrance.
The TIMES would like to know how
many of these questsons will be
answered truly, or not at all. This
part OF the census will be a farce Of
the first water. No man who has any
independent about him will submit to
thus being guyed. And yet the govern
ment says that unless he answer truly
he will be liable to fine of $50. UD-
der what authority will they impose
this fine: 1t is an inhuman act, and
is thus characterized by Dana, Of the
Sun:
''If a poor woman is slowly dying
of consumption or cancer, and Is keep
ing the fact from her children and the
world, can the United States Govern
ment punish her for refusing to dis
close her malady? If a man has a
physical defect, or if any of
those dependent upon him
has mental defect, he is
compelled to confde the circumstances
to the enumerator? Ifhe is in debt
for the house he calls his OVID, can the
government force him to put his mort
gage on record in the folios of the Cen
sus Bureau?
These things are not the business Of
the United States government. II
there is authority in any law Tor push
Ing such questions, that law is uncons-
tutional. The Constitution provides
for simple enumeration Of the inhabl-
tants of the United States, not for an
inquisition into their chronic maladies,
their bodily defects, and their private
acc cunt books.''
