THE REPUBLIOAN JOE.

As was pointed out by the REGIsTEB
the other day, the awarding Of the
three and half million 100-gun gov
eminent contract to the Bethlehem,
Pa, Iron Co. means a clear gift OF a
million dollars out of the public treas
ury to private corporation. 1t was done
ia the face Of the fact that the same work
could be done at the government fac
tory at Watervliet better and in half
the time, for about half the money, and
of the further fact that the trainers OF
the law plainly stated that the contract
was to be awarded to no private firm,
whose bid was greater than the sum
the government itself could do the
work for at its own factory. To the
government and the people OF the
United States it means the wasteful ex-
penditure of a million dollars, a certain
delay of several years in the work of
the armament of the sea-board and a
possible stoppage of efficient work in
that direction altogether. The Har-
rison administration has dealt the
Wateryliet gun factory blow straight
from the shoulder.
What are its immedite effects ? The
Albany Argus replies: "First certain
reduction in the appropriations for
work at Watervliet in the future.
WheneveF dollar is asked for it, some
opponent to sea coast Notifications will
rise up and point to the squandering of
millions of dollars on this private con-
tract, ana we 90 not see what reply can
be made. Second, the construction OF
a second government factory on the
Pacific coast or elsewhere has been ef-
fectually anticipated by the war depart
ment, which not only locates the second
factory at Bethlehem, but also agrees
to pay for the plant and present it free
of cost to private corporation. Third,
a general disgust with the whole matter
OF gun-making, now tainted as was the
building of the navy under previous
Republican administrations with con-
tracts for private profit and not for
public good, will be provoked"
Perhaps it was too much at any time,
to expect that the Secretary Of War
would be able to stand out against the
force of the example of the President
and the departments where money-get-
ting on "business principles" rules.

In an interview on the political situa-
ton on the Democratic side in New
York, Mayor GLEASON, Of Long Island
City, the representative Of the First
District on the Democratic State Com
mittee, gives il as his opinion that the
ticket will finally resolve itself into
HILL and CHAPLIN. The supporters Of
FLOWER and JONES and CHAPLIN and
PARKER may fight for the control OF
the Convention, but, as Mayor GLEASON
views 1t, the Governors Presidential
aspirations make it necessary for him
10 show that he is still strong enough to
carry the State. II defeated he will be
no worse off than he is at present; he
will have the dignified retirement Of the
Senate to console him during the next
six years, but if he can carry the State
I'm spite of the open antagOnism of Mr.
CLEvELAND's friends he will be in {
position to demand the nomination FOL
President as the one man whose nomi
nation would mean victory in New
York. In the event Of his election h
would, of course, Immediately qualif!
as Senator, leaving Mr.. CHAPLIN to as
sumo the Office Of Governor on Janu

This is Mayor GLEAsoN's view Of tn
situation. evidently evolved from hi
inner consciousness, and with no othe
foundation than Mr.. GLEASoN's owl
lively and constructive imagination.

A Tale Of q Comma.

A Prussian school inspector appeared
in the office of the Burgomaster of a
little town, says the London Journal
of EDUCATION, for the purpose of asking
him to accompany him on a tour
through the schools. The Burgomas-
ter, rather out of sorts, muttered,
"Does this donkey come again ?" The
inspector awaited his time for proper
answer, according to the immortal
advice, vengeance is dish that
must be eaten COOL" When the
inspector was introduced to the
teacher, he said he was curious to see
how well punctuation was taught.
The Burgomaster, the local supervisory
authority, said "Never mind that"
we care not for commas and the like. ,;
But the inspector ordered boy to 60
to the board and write: "The
Burgomaster of r. says, the inspector
is a donkey" Then he ordered him to
change the comma by placing it after
R. and inserting it after inspector.
Thus: "The Burgomaster of R., says
the inspector, is a donkey" 1t was a
cruel lesson, but it is reasonable to
suppose that commas rose in the
estimation of the "local supervisory
authority"
