The encouraging feature of the naval debate
is the Independent stand taken by live OF the
ablcst Democratic Senators. They have joined
the Republicans in sanctonng the AUTHORIZE
ton of an armored cruiser, new battle-shlp,
n double-turret monitor, four lght-draft gun
boats and six torpedo boats. While the ccono-
mists of the House are bent upon arrcsting the
DEVELOPMENT of the Nations naval resources.
there are at least five patriotic Democratic
Senators who have the courage to rise above
craftsmanship and to record their approval OF
the enlightened policy of continuing resolutely
and without interruption the construction OF Il
new Navy of high power and efficiency. SEN
ators Blackburn Butler, German, Morgan and
Ransom deserve commentator from citizens
of all shades Of political thought for their out
spoken Amcrcanism and Independent action
on this question. If they had not separated
themselves from the main body OF their party
associates the Naval bill would have gone back
to the House as a partisan measure amended
by the Republican majority in the interest OF
Secretary Tracy's recommendations. Now there
is fair chance for a compromise IN confer
encc committee by which substantial en-
largemcnt Of the fleet will be secured.
The action Of these Democratic Senators is
an indication that the building Of the new
Navy has ceased to be party question. The
American people want fleet which will amply
suffice for the protection of the seaboards and
be worthy in every respect of the dignity and
reputation of the Nation. Whether Demo
cratic or Republican Administration be in
power. public opinion requires the vigorous
prosecution Of this work of naval defence.
Politicians or journals who affect 10 regard
poverful feet a source Of danger 10 the
country only serve 10 weaken the political
party with which they are identified. This is
as it ought to be. There are public questions
by the score on which the parties Of the day
can eetimately divide. The increase of the
efficiency Of the Navy is not one of them. II
is question Of high National policy with only
one side for Americans who have anything
warmer than iced water in their veins.

GJrE THE GOVERNOR HIS DIE


When Governor Flower came into office THE

few and far between, and he has fallen below
even the exceedingly moderate expectations
which his career had led his most benevolent
ornaments TO FORM Since the Legislature ad-

sanction. and has aggravated the offence by
foolish and feeble excuses.

the wise and humane bill to establish re-

MASSACHUSETTS, ~ THE TEMPLE.

MASSACHUSETTS ~ TIE TEMPLE.
II seems 10 be the deliberate judgment OF
the Democrats of South Carolina in State Con-
vcntion assembled that the sacred temple OF
Democracy" has been invaded by money
changcrsr They said so in the platform
adoptcd nj Columbia on Wednesday, and OBJ
served further with regard to it that they saw
il "vith displcasurc and apprehension" This
is the old view-with alarm resolution with a
slight variation. Democrats in South Carolina
and elsewhere got in the habit of viewing
things with alarm twenty or thirty years ago,
and kept il up with such constancy that it be-
gan To attract attention as illustrating chronic
mental disturbance. But we do not remember
a single instance when they viewed with alarm
anything thatIwas going on inside " the temple
of Dcmocracvn This is the first intmation
ever given 10y Democratic Convention that
the money changers had invaded the temple.
Ii i not strange that the south Carolina Dem
ocIats should express their displeasrIrc and APP
prchcnSion. For they may be said to have
had the temple in their special keeping for n
great many years. They are Of the prieSty
caste : Of the house Of Levi lincal descendants
Of the great Calhoun
The invading money changers they say
will try and force upon our party a candidate
representing not the wishes and wcll-bcing
of our people but their own selfish interest"
That candidate is Grover Cleveland who. they
say, " does not represent the principles of De-
mocracy a> taught by our forcfathcrS and as
we understood them" They therefore protest
formally and Solcmnly against his nomination
or any other candidate known or believed To
be selected in the interest and AT the dictaton
of Wall Street" If Cleveland is forced upon
the party al Chicago they will look upon it as
a prostitution of the principles of JctlcrSonian
Democracy" and "a surrender of the rights
of the people 10 the financial kings Of the coun-
try" That is certainly outSpokcn and candid.
II leaves no doubt as to the attitude of South
Carolina Democrats toward the leading can
didatc of their party They have sounded the
alarm that the money changers have got into
the temple of Democracy, and give fair warn
ing that if they succeed in forcing Cleveland
upon the party South Carolina will have none
of him. No money changers for them.
1t is not likely that the protest will have
much weight with the nominating convention
The money changers in the temple may not
nominate Cleveland, but they will nominate
somebody. They are not likely to be driven
out by any such whip of small cords as the
South Carolina protest.

that the situation in many places is still ex'
tremely grave

The generalization in the Distrlct-Attorney S
office has become nsufferable. Things have
been going from bad to worse and at last seem
to have reached a climax. Finding fault with
Mr. Ncoll and his associates has gone far
enough II is evidently time for more drastic
measures unless there is an Immediate I'M
provement In Part III of the General Ses-
sions there was no business at all to be trans
acted yesterday in Part | all the cases on hand
had been tried by 2 80 Part ii adjourned at
10 o'clock. This is inexcusable, especially as
the DistrictAttorney is continually talking
about the great accumulation OF business and
pleading for more courts and judges. Recorder
Smyth again spoke his mind freely regarding
the inefliciency and neglect which characterize
Mr.. Nicolrs office. His Indignation was fully
justified. If proceedings to remove Mr. Nicoll
should be undertaken, the Recorder would be
a strong witness against him.

THE CANADIAN ANOMALY.

Events have been working in Canada since
Sir John Macdonald's death to curious results.
Before he died the Liberals declared with one
voice that he was all there was of lis Gov
eminent and of his party. "After him." they
said, the delugc. Faction will tear the Tories
in pieces. The reptile fund which has en-
abled Sir Johns corrupt hands to hold the en-
Hghtencd sentiment of Canada in thraldOm, will
melt, and the scandal of it will horrify and
enrage the people. Every man conspicuous in
Tory councils will be disgraced and retired.
The census will prove that the sO-called Ma
tional policy is rapidly depOpulating the Do
mnion that it has enriched the verieSt few,
and has subjected the people generally to ap-
palling burdens of taxation and debt. II will
be proved that the last election was a fraud !:
that Sir John basely deceived the country ::
that he wickedly misrepresented the position
of the American Government and held out
hopes of an extended American trade, not mere
ly without warrant but with the official knowl-
edge that President Harrison and Secretary
Blaine were utterly determined to enter into no
engagements for commercial exchanges which
failed to give preferential advantages to Ameri-
can trade in return for free access TO American
mark cts"
Now, the curious fact is that every prediction
made by the Liberal leaders has been justified
except the one that seemed the necessary con-
sequence of the rest. The Tories were rent
with schism. Scandals multiplied until scarce
ly Tory leader remained whose reputation
was not despatched. The contemplate fraud
Of the Washington negotiations was complete
" exposed. And yet, so far from profitinR the

Liberals. these things have led one after an
other to new and greater Tory successes. Are
the Canadians dull 10 sentiments of national
honor? There is not an electorate on earth
less so. Do they enjoy being made the We
tins of tariff extorton? Do they delight to
honor the men who have trickcd them and
PLAYED upon their patriotic feelings? AS a
body. the Canadians are remarkable examples
Of all that is best and worthicst in Anglo
Saxon blood The anomaly revealed in their
continued support of party which has so huge
" robbed and betrayed them is easily ex-
planned.
No one is less admirable than n reformer who
compromises and what is true of men in this
respcct is true of parties. The Liberals of
Canada have been fighting on an issue which
everybody knows to be impossible and in which
they are known to be insincere. Commercial
Union. or Unrestricted Reciprocity, or what
over else il NAV be named, is chimcra. Can
ada can never be commercially member of
the American Union and politically de-
pendency of Great Britain. II cannot obtain
the advantages of Statehood in our system
while owing allegiance TO another Power. The
"men. money and markets which Mr.. Blake
said would come to Canada with a long period
of free trade between that country and this are
our men, our money and our markets. We are
a practical people. We don't give everything
for nothing When the Liberal party of Can
ada has the courage to say what it means, 1t
NAV find responsive electorate. But it will
neither obtain nor deserve success by talking

The disastrous fire in the Hotel Royal last
winter has not been without a good result in
legislation. 4 bill which became a law yes
terday was carefully drawn with the view of
providing against the defects and omissions
that in large part caused that fire to be so de-
structive of human life. The strict enforce
ment of this law will certainly diminish the
dangers from fires in hotels, places of amuse-
ment, etc. but still no laws can ever prevent
buildings that are not freproof from burning
rapidly and endangering the lives of their oc-
cupants.
