such philanthropic committee than to
ask for and receive information. Our
feet should be guided by the experience
of others; it will cost us nothing to dis
cover where others have gone wrong or
succeeded. We can, without great
trouble, learn what to avoid and what to
accept. Thus informed, Sacramento will
be in condition to enter upon the sec
ond stage of improvement, the applica-
ton of knowledge gained. By the time
she is prepared to adopt definite plan,
some years will have elapsed, and the
date will have been reached at which the
city will be financially able to enter upon
the work which will be the most benefi-
cent in which the community can engage.
If there is any subject of more profound
interest to a people than the conservation
OF the healthfulness of their homes and
their protection against assaults of viru-
lent diseases, the cleanliness of their city,
the proper disposition of waste matter
and the successful drainage of the town,
we have no knowledge of it. CONNER
cial advantages of the highest character,
low taxation, trade prosperity, social adj
vancement, moral excellence and politi-
cal peace, amount to nothing if the phys
ical safety and comfort of the city are not
secured, and the sanitary conditions
made the best possible within the capac-
ity of the people.

have not shipped in the vessels to the full
demand made for them. If this is So,
then something of the polishing of bright
work can be abandoned and the bright
of the Blue Jacket slavish. What we want
in the navy is a body of American young
men, self-respecting. patriotic and good
fighters, rather than brass burnishers.
So, too, it is said, that coal-heaving in
the new ships is unusually severe, and
that it is the intention to make the effort
to enlist Southern negroes, who are har-
dier in such work. This would be the
right policy. There is no reason why the
negro shall not serve in the navy, if he
chooses and the department wants him.
AS to the comforts and discomforts of
life on the steel cruisers, we apprehend
that the experience of France, England
and Italy with their iron and steel ships
will enable US in due time to make the
lot of the American naval tar as comfort
able afloat as that of seamen in other
first-class navies. But if the new ships
are too light it is defect that cannot be
cured. They will have to be equipped
with lighter guns, and we will be COM
PEELED to construct new series of war
ships-for thorough navy, level with
the best, the American nation must have.

The bill to insure to policemen at
least ten days leave of absence in each
year without loss of pay has become a
law. There can be no special sound OBJ
lection to the new policy this bill intro
duces. 1t will probably result in better
service by the men, and make the posi-
tions more desirable, and thus tend to
improve the character of the forces. But
it is the Inauguration of policy that
may be carried to the extreme. Against
that, in future legislation, there must be
watchfulness. We believe in holiday
seasons for all workers, and hold that
employers consult their own interests
when they insist upon their men taking
annual seasons of complete rest or
change. In official departments, how
ever, there must be extreme caution that
such grants do not interfere with the in
terests Of the public, by neglect Of ad-
ministration of important trusts.

DEFECTS IN THE NEW NAVY.

The suggestion is afloat that the new
navy is too light for its armament; that
in securing lightness Of hulls in order to
increase the capacity to carry heavy guns,
ability to Withstand the shock of dis
charges has been sacrificed. If this prove
to be a justified suspicion, then we have
our naval constructors to blame, not the
builders of the ships, since the latter fol-
lowed the plans and specifications of the
Board of Naval Construction. But the
truth can only be ascertained under tests,
and these will be supplied. 1t is said that
the new ships are not comfortable fol
Blue Jackets, and that the drudgery oi
cleaning the bright work is too great, and
that it is for these reasons that men
