Matrons Nav ChrIsten sbips.

Sailors, as a GLASS, are credited with being
very superstitious-even more superstitious
than those children Of fortune, the gam
blers, any one Of whom would walk a mile
to rub hunchback's bump. But it seems
that the sailors have, in a recent discussion,
been accused Of harboring a superstition
which really has no existence outside Of the
minds of a few newspaper writer's
The New York Tribune, in a recent issue,
said that the 'hoary precedent, hallowed by
the superstitions OF countless generations
of seamen, that the naming OF a new ship
must be performed by a maiden, or ill-luck
is sure to attend the craft had been set
aside by the navy department in the de-
termination that the christening of the new
cruiser, the Marblehead, should be per-
formed by Mrs. G. f. Allen.
Before the decision that Mrs Allen should
break the traditional bottle of wine upon
the ships ''nose" was reached, the alleged
superstition was made a matter Of inquiry
at the navy department The inquirers had
not far to go for a precedent in which a
married woman christened an American
warship. It was soon recalled that Mrs.
wilson, tne vile OF bne cnleI constructor OF
the navy, had christened the cruiser Balti-
more. And a little investigation into the
history of the British navy developed the
fact that Queen Victoria had chrlstened the
battleship Royal Sovereign. and dozen
other married ladies Of royal or noble blood
had christened as many more British war
vessels. Some Of the officers at the navy
department, who became interested in the
inquiry, extended the search at some length
without coming across q single vessel in the
English navy that bad not been christened
by o married woman
It may be more poetical to have a blush
ing maiden perform the service which figu-
ratvelY WEEDS ship and sea, but there is no
reason to believe that the seamen have ever
objected to a married woman officiating.

Mr.. Carlisle,s silver Letter.

A correspondent who read Mr.. Carlisle's
silver letter published In the MORNING
NEWS yesterday has communication in
another column, in which he asks whether,
In order to put dollars worth Of silver in
a silver dollar, 1t wouldn't be necessary in
coming silver dollars, to change every few
days the amount OF silver it put into a sill
yer dollar on account Of the huctuation in
the market value of silver. That is a ques-
tion the correspondent can answer es well
as any one else. It is doubtful If a ratio be-
tween gold and silver could be fixed by this
country alone by which the market value
OF the silver In a silver dollar would at all
times be close to dollar in gold, but If a
ratio between silver and gold should be
fixed by the commercial nations of the
world the fluctuations in the price of silver
would not be a matter Of much consequence
80 far as the coinage of silver was con-
cerned.
This same correspondent says that silver
dollar now passes for dollar and will con-
tinue to do so, and he objects to any change
until something more practical is suggested.
1t Is true that a silver dollar now passes
for dollar. but would 10 continue to do SO
II free and unlimited coinage of silver were
adopted3 The correspondent ignores the
demand for free and unlimited coinage.
And how long can the country go on
under the present system without disasterl
Senator Sherman, the author of the present
| silver law, expressed grave doubts 10 a re-
| cent speech in the Senate as to the advis-
| ability of the government increasing its
already vast accumulation OF silver bullion.
The tinanciers Of Europe are discussing in
their periodicals our policy Of purchasing
silver, and are taking a gloomy view OF it.
European investors In American securities
are getting rid Of their holdings as fast as
they can. This is shown by the outflow of
gold. which continues to be large notwith-
standing the fact that the value of our ex-
ports greatly exceeds the value Of our i'm
ports. 1t is absolutely necessary that a
change shall be made in our silver policy in
| the near future.

Checked By a Suggestion.

There was an interesting conference at
the headquarters OF the republican ma
tional committee In New York the other
day. The subject OF 1t was whether or not
the Republican party should take up Kolb's
fight in Alabama and furnish him with
money to make a contest IN the courts for
the governorship. There were several
southern republican politicians present who
were particularly anxious for the adoption
of such course. They seemed to be under
the impression that such a feeling Of bitter
ness could be brought about between the
democratic factions that Alabama could be
carried for Gen. Harrison. Their plan was
TO bring forward the blacks in the black
counties that gave Gov. Jones maiorities
and have them testify that they did not
vote for Gov. Jones. By this means. they
said. 1t might be shown that black votes
counted for Gov. Jones had not been cast
But the advice of the southern republican
politicians was not adopted. Some Of those
who looked at the situation differently sug-
gested that if the republicans should make
Kolb's fight their own all OF the Kolb dem
ocrats would get back into the ranks OF the
regular democracy, and the democrats
would have a chance to say that Gen.
Weaver was only a decoy for the Republi-
can party.
II the Republican party furnishes the
Kolb faction with money TO make a fight
against Gov. Jones it will do it secretly. 1t
won't let ID appear that ID is espousing
Kolb's cause.
All this seheming will not help the Re-
publican party. Alabama will give Mr..
Cleveland majority, and so will each one
of the other southern states.

4 Point That Mr.. Watson Avoided.

A Point That Mr.. Watson Avoided
In his homecoming speech at Thomson
Mr.. Watson failed to point out why the APP
preparations made by this congress during its
first session we're larger in amount than the
appropriations made by the Fifty first con-
gress during its first session, but be did not
forget to try TO make it appear that the
democrats are not as economical as the re-
publicaus. II Mr.. Watson had wished to
do so he could have shown why it
was, notwithstanding the efforts OF
the democratic House TO cut down
the appropriations, that the total OF the
appropriations made by the first session Of
this congress was gre4ter than the total of
the appropriations made by the first session
Of the Fifty-frst congress. II he had been
as frank as Mr.. Crisp was in his speech at
the Atlanta rally be would have at least
said something about the great increase In
the appropriation for pensions made neces-
sary by republican legislation. In closing
his Atlanta speech Mr.. Crisp said:
Cleveland is the only man who has been
in the executive chair since the war who
has had the courage to veto a general pen
sion bill IN the face Of a demand to sign it
by the representatives in congress. But
the Reed congress came on and passed it,
Harrison signed IL and what has been the
resultl 1t cost US $40, 900, 900 this year. Do
you know that every man, woman and
child in Georgia is paying 81 80 year for
pensionsl Do you know there are 1000
900 pensioners on the rolls and they are be-
ing increased at the rate Of 1000 dayi 1
am in favor Of pensioning the gallant sol
diers who saw service on the field, but not
the camp followers and bummers."
This pension burden ia growing steadily
larger. Il is about $3.50, 600 900 a year now
and it is probable that IL will be 5000, 600 900
before the close of this century. MIR. Cleve-
land, when President saw how burdensome
the pension charge was becoming, and he
had the courage to oppose pension policy
that was threatening the government with
bankruptcy. The general pension bill that
be vetoed, however, was passed again by the
next congress and was signed by Gen.
Harrison. Under that bill the number of
pensioners, as Mr.. Crisp says, is being I'M
creased at the rate OF thousand day, and
the appropriation for pensions is being in
creased at the rate OF many millions Of dol
lars year. Why was it that Mr.. Watson
said nothing about this pension bill when
he was charging that the appropriations
made by the democrats were larger than
those made by the repubhcansi
