naval Generalization in certain direo-

naval Generalization in certain direc-
tions. Says The New York Tribune:
1.-The list in each grade is clogged.
The avenues of promotion are closed to
the youth, the vigor and the enthusiasm
of the service. Mr.. Tracy has shown
that officers now attain places of COM
mand only after their greatest useful
ness has been frittered away in the long
routine of subordination, and the edge
of their faculties dulled by indifference.
They acquire responsibilities after they
have lost the power of graphing with
them, and receive authority when age
and disappointment have rendered them
incapable of recognizing in it anything
beyond the larger pay and more abund-
ant ease it represents. If this be true,
and Mr., Tracy is positive that it is, as
suredly congress should take the matter
under consideration. The idea that,
while spending millions upon the ma
terial of the service, we should permit
the personnel to degenerate is intolera-
ble"
Congress Should DO Something.
1t is to be hoped that the present con-
gress will use every measure in its
power, in the way of investigating com
mittees, etc, to inform the next con-
gress so that there may be as little de-
lay as possible in prosecuting reorgani-
zation and reform.
Compared with these matters, the
question of furnishing ships and arm
Rment is comparatively simple one.

WHY PARNELL HOLDS ON.
His Fall Would Mean the Rise of the
Assassin.

His Fall Would Mean the Rise of the
Assassin.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-An extraordi-
II is fathered by the parliamentary cor
respondent Of The Sheffield Telegraph
one of the leading provincial papers of
England. and is to the effect that re-
liable statements have reached him
from an underground source in Ireland
as to the real reason why Parnell is so
obstinate in maintaining his hold on the
leadership.
1T is a fact" he says, THAT in case of
Parnell being thrust from the leadership
the extremists, who are all on his side,
and who are determined to have no
other leader, would proceed to take re-
venge after their own style. An asgas-
sination club would be Immediately
formed on the lines so well known in
Ireland. The victims to be marked
down, however, would not be- as here
tofore landlords, honest tenants, and
government officials, but men who had
been prominent in hunting Mr. Parnell
from public life.
Timothy Healy would be the very
first to require protection. Mr.. Glad
stones life would also be in danger.
Knowing the desperate character of the
men who are behind Mr. Palnell, can
quite credit my information as to their
intentions. They are the men who look
with contempt upon the so-called CON
stitutional agitation as playing at poll
tics, and strongly believe in dynamite.
They have recently been reinforced by
some of the invincibles.
Mr. Painell is, believe, well ac-
quainted with the sanguinary designs of
his followers. He breads the effect of
their action for the reason that he
knows as practical politician, that the
result in England would be to put an
end to all hope Of Home Rule. Ii is un-
derstood that he has been able to inocu-
late William O'Brien with his fears. In
the meantime he soothes the exasperated
extremists and rivets their allegience by
by urging his demands for Home Rule"

NO DEFICIENCY
Likely This or Next Year in
the Pension Appropriation.
At Least So Says Commissioner
of Pensions Raum

I'm Letter to the Secretary Of the Inte-
riOr-Nearly 55s, 700 Applications Re.
ceived Under the Act of June es. 1890,
and Nearly 10000 Under Former
Laws-seven Months Work.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Gen. Raum.
commissioner of pensions, has written
letter to Secretary Noble calling his at
tention to the business of the pension
Office during the past seven months.
There have been received to Jan. 81,
1891, 555,S7S applications for pensions
under the act of June q, 1890, and 116,-
$50 under former laws. All these ap.
plications have received proper attention.
The total number of claims pending
is 81 1872, 800. During the same period
110,2S6 certificates have been issued to
pensioners. The number of original
claims allowed last year was &, ,637; the
first payment on these claims was $32.-
47o,S4l, the average payment being
$4S5.n. The number of original claims
under the old laws that will be allowed
this year will probably not exceed 50,-
600, with an average first payment of
$342, and total first payment of $17,-
100000. This will show falling off
this year as compared with last year of
$40, 400, 00O in first payments on old law
original claims.
The commissioner estimates that there
will be $4,000 claims allowed under the
new law during the fiscal year, and that
the total first payments ON these claims
will be $4,000, 900, making $22, 100, ,00C
as first payments upon all the claims
allowed during the first fiscal year, be-
ing reduction Of $4,000 600 on the
first payments for the fiscal year as
compared with last year.
From these figures, says Gen. Raum,
it will be seen that the predictions made
in some quarters Of an extraordinary de-
ficiency occurring i'll the appropriations
for the present and next fiscal years are
not likely to be fulfilled. The commits
sioner declares thas the practical opera
tion of the act of June 27, 1890, as shown
by the work thut far in the office, will
be to materially reduce the annual value
of pensions.

INDIAN PROBLEM.
The Proposed Plan of Indian
Commissioner Morgan
AS Stated at a Mass-Meeting at
Philadelphia.

No Persons Should BE Allowed to Enter
the Indian Service Unless They Have
Shown Special Fitness for the Posi-
tion - One Responsible Head Should
Control All-Big Chiefs Present.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IA mass meet
in Indian Affairs" called by the Univer-
sal Peace union, was held at Christ Re
formed church Thursday night. There
were present indian Commissioner Nor
gan, and with him were the Rev, o. S.
Cook, half breed Episcopal clergyman,
who has charge of the missionary work
at the Pine Ridge agency; Louis Shang-
sew, an interpreter; John Grass, Young
Man Afraid of His Horses, Clarence
Three-Stars, George Swords and Hollow
Horn Bear.
Mr.. Morgan was the principal speaker.
He said the time had come fer making
some changes in our methods of dealing
with the red men.
He stated the Indian problem as it
presented itself to him, with the govern
ment plan of solution. Then he pro-
ceeded to answer and deny recent criti-
cisms and charges made against him.
In Offering his views concerning the
proposed solution of the Indian problem,
he said that no man or woman should
enter the Indian service except upon
some test as to special fitness.
Also, that fidelity and capacity should
entitle an employe to feel reasonably
certain of being retained in Office
Indian affairs should be administered
by one responsible head, and that head
should have such power and help as is
absolutely demanded for the proper dis.
charge of his duties, and then he should
be held to the most rigid accountability.
Thus, there would be no divided re-
sponsibility and no difficulty in locating
the blame for any maladministratio of
Indian affairs.
At present the Indian bureau was one
of the interior departments, and it was
simply impossible for one to give proper
attention TO the workings of all
The commissioner said that the Indian
problem was in the progress of very
happy solution. The end at which we
aim, he said, is that the Indians shall
become as speedily as possible Indian
Americans; that the savage shall be-
come citizen and that he shall cease to
wander and become a resident in fixed
habitation.

SOME OF THE REASONS


why Our Seafaring Men Dislike tho
Service of Uncle Sam.
To illustrate the peculiar ideas exist
ing concerning the naval service we
quote the following from Boston Globe
interview with the proprietor of sailor
boarding house. When asked what he
thought of the prospect of the navy OBJ
tanning the men wanted, he said:
1T is very poor, | should say, for
sailors are not so plenty nowadays as
most people imagine, and what few
there are in port are needed to man the
square riggers' now loading for foreign
VOYAGES. and the men who go coastwise
viii have nothing TO do with the navy"
"What seems to be the objectlonY
.'Oh. they have many. To begin with,
the long term Of enlistment, three years,
the small wages, too much discipline
liberty ashore cut off in home and for
eign ports, and the best reason of all is
that in the case of foreigners, should
they wish to Join a navy they would
have done so in their own countries
where the laws compel man to give
five OF seven years service in the army
or navy, or flee the country. 1t must be
remembered that American sailors are a
thing of the past, and inward or out
ward bound ships are now manned by
Germans principally, wsth a good
sprinkling of Swedes among them. They
have pretty good times, and as long as
they can get berth, either fishing or on
a merchantman, they say, The navy be
blowed =
I'm your opinion what would be a
good method for Uncle Sam to adopt to
get young and active men for the
servicef'
why. that would be simple enough.
Let the navy officer go among the
prisons of this and other states and re-
cruit from those places such men as
they choose. They would find plenty
of fellows who had three or more years
to serve glad to get the chance to get to
sea, and should that be done, what
would be the difference; Simply shift

AND FRANCE.

Their Methods Compared with Ours for
Supplying Men for the Navy.
Rear Admiral Luce discusses the inn
portant question in The North Ameri-
can Review, and gives the history of
England and France in their methods
of meeting just such an emergency and
instituting methods for supplying
materials for their navies, for the trouble
seems to be a chronic one among the
natives of the world. Various devices
for increasing the attractiveness of naval
service adopted by England are recount
ed by Admiral Luce, all of which are
available in this country in volunteer
service. Says Admiral Luce: "It il
chiefly to the naval apprentice boys,
the enlistment of whom has been going
ON for few preceding years, that the
English commission looked for the gen
eral organization of a permanent navy"
Under the English system boys are
entered to serve for ten years from the
age of 1S. The benefits are such that
many seamen, on reaching the age of 2S,
elect to re-enter for an additional term
of ten years. AT 3S they receive an in
crease of pension, and the majority
enter the coast guard, which constitutes
part of the naval reserve. England has
now III commission about eighteen
training and drill Shops 80, 1873 seamen,
and 4,514 boys, 1850 of the latter being
under training. Her merchant tonnage
amounts to 1851 1888, and her merchant
seamen number 223, ,673: very respect
able body in point of numbers to draw
on in an emergency.
France makes short work of the matter
through her laws requiring that every
citizen between the ages of lS and so,
shall serve a certain time in either the
army or navy, and all watermen of the
coast harbo1s, docks or canals are made
to serve in the navy The French sea-
men available for war number from
$50. 600 to 10000. We depend upon the
system of short term enlistments, aban-
doned by England thirty years ago, and
which, as Admiral Luce SAYS, Is simply
no syst5m He adds that the English
seamen gunners are trained on board of
gunnery ships in the use of heavy guns.
They are seamen who become expert
gunners. We educate them on shore in
machine shops as machinists, gunsmiths
and electricians, so that, at the expira-
ton of their short term of enlistment,
they can, ,'and do, go INTO civil life, where
they readily secure places giving them
more pay per week than they can earn
in the navy in a month.
1t is believed that present plans for re-
cruiting the navy, through the training
of boys, will lie beneficial 1t seems to
be the only hope, and great efforts must
be made to make The service attractive,
10 establish permanent corps Of trained
seamen and engage the services of
Americans only. II Is asserted that con-
gress should allow the navy 500 boys
