MAKE WAR ON THE PRACTICE.

Representative Brooks is on the war
path at the way his wholesale liquor bill
has been amended by a committee of the
Senate. The amendments are such as to
reverse the purpose of the bill. Instead of
establishing further regulation of the
wholesale trade, it practically opens the
door to the bottle traffic under the whole
sale disguise, and lowers the license fee
for cities of the third-clasS. Consequently
GIr. Brooks, who introduced the bill with
the intention of making it a regulative
measure, is in a fighting mood.
1t is not TO Nh. Brooks diScredit that
this turning his bill upside down should
stimulate his pugnacity. But he should
direct his fight, not against the single in
stance afforded by his bill, but against the
precedent which Senate committees are
establishing for that sort of thing. The
Philadelphia representative should remem-
ber that the same treatment was given to
a bill to secure the secrecy and independ-
ence of the ballot, by turning it around so
as to put the polls more completely under
the control Of machine politicians than
they are at present. If Mr. Brooks will
declare war on all such practices he may
be able to effect a considerable reform in
Legislative methods.

Yet this seems likely to be done, provided
the necessity of establishing coaling sta
tions for our fleets is accepted as
an unquestioned requirement. On this
point, however, there is still some room
for discussion, The experience of the
Esmeralda at Acapulco is taken as an evi-
dence of the necessity for having stations
where in case of war our cruisers could
resort for supplies. But it may be ques-
toned whether, if we should get into a
naval war, our ships would fare much
better for the acquisition of coaling
stations. In peace they gan get coal and
supplies anywhere. In war it is plain that
the cOaling stations, and even the slightly
garrisoned forts would promptly fall a
prey to the power which could send the
strongest fleet there. As either end of the
DOmissican island is within few days sail
of Nassau, Cuba or Key West, it is plain
that coaling station on either side of the
island would simply be prize for the
strongest naval force in the West Indies.
Unless the United States is prepared to
make great fortified post and maintain a
large garrison at either Samana or the
Mole st. Nicholas, they would simply be a
present to an enemy in the case of war
In peace, the need of such station is far
from clear until our naval interests have
grown much beyond their present magni-
tudp

PROGRESS ON THE SMOKE ISSUE.

Interviews on the subject of smoke con-
sumption develop two classes of opinion
among large consumers of fuel. One class
is represented by firms already putting in
improved stOllerS, who will in a few days
demonstrate the possibility Of practical
abolition Of smoke. The other is typifed
bv a leading house which, having tried
smOke-consUming appliances in the past,
has little faith in them now, and has built
a stack so high that the smoke will he car
ried away from its immediate neighbor-
hood. But says this firm, eff the law
oalires Us to do anything more we will
do it.
The existence OF these two classes should
shape the course Of those laboring for the
abolition of smoke. All who are keeping
up with and even in advance of public
opinion viii help to prove the possibility of
the reform and will lend most powerful
aid in securing its ultimate success. OF
course, the ability TO consume smoke
having been proved, previous efforts with
unsatisfactory devices 90 for nothing
When the proof is before every ones eyes
that smokeleSs chimneys are a possibility,
the great majority viii hasten to secure the
economy to be produced in that way, and
the resort to law will be necessary only as
the ultimate step to complete abolition of
SCOT
The progress already made in the adop-
ton of improved stokers proves the great
value of moral influence to secure this i'm
prOvement The same pressure, judiciOusly
kept up, will soon leave very few cases in
which it will be necessary to use the law.

MAINTAIN THE CONSTITUTION.

The experience of Kentucky in adopt
ing new Constitution is remarkable, and
has lesson for States where the need of
Constitutional revision is by no means as
patent as in the Bourbon State. The old
Constitution of Kentucky is a distinctly
antediluvian document, and the necessity
of changes was universally conceded.
But the instrument drawn up to take its
place is so full of muddles that very
strong party, represented by the Courier
Journal, is taking ground for its defeat,
preferring the antiquated instrument.
This is certainly a warning to States
which have good Constitution that prop
ositions to remodel them should be enter
tanned with great caution. Certainly,
when State has an instrument so much
in accord with modern needs, and contain
ing such excellent provisions as the Penn
sylvania Constitution, the proposition to
submit it to revision naturally arouses sus-
picion. A few days ago, in one of our
city cotemporaries, a communication
pointed out that the Constitution is only
twenty years old; that it was the product
of the best minds of the generation; that
its characteristic features were such as
were dictated by the experience Of the
people with the modern agencies, and
that it would be insanity to subject it to
the chances of mutilation before its effects
were fully known.
Every word of this argument, which we
presume to have come from one of the most
eminent citizens of Western Pennsylvania,
is strictly true There is no important pro-
vision of the Constitution which requires
amendment. There may be some minor
respects in which amendment is possible;
but these can and should be acted upon
separately, so that each will be decided
on its merits. With the possibility that
convention composed according to present
propositions would emasculate the impor-
tant provisions of the Constitution in order
TO loosen the hands of politicians and
corporations, insanity is mild and char
liable term for the influence urging the
Constitutional Convention.
The people should make up their minds
to speak plainly to the effect that the pres
ent Constitution shall be retained; and as
an appropriate appendix to that resolution
it might be weg to add the determination
that it shall be enforced.

RELATIVE NEED,

The failure of Admiral Gherardi to Sc
cure the grant of the Mole st. Nicholas,
and the declaration of the Haytian Govern
ment that popular opinion there will not
permit the cessiOn of the territory to any
foreign power, stirs up our Eastern cotem-
poraries to emphatic declarations of the
necessity of a coaling station in the West
Indies. The New York San, in noting the
importance of such an acquisition, revives
the old proposition of securing Samana
BAY, which was one of the famous bones
Of contention during the Grant admins-
tration. 1t says with truth that the ad-
vantages OF Samana Bay as harbor are
equal TO those of the Mole st. Nicholas,
while its position with reference TO the
routes of commerce are not inferior.
It would be a singular example of the
changes of time if an acquisition on which
the strongest Republican administration
was first challenged and defeated in Con-
gress should be revived twenty years later.
