recommended. and finally In drawing the
contract. The work Of construction is Ger
tainly slow. a. the committee suggests. but
1t may be accelerated by getting this pre-
llminary work out OF the way.
In addition, the facilities OF the coun-
try for building unarmored ships are not
now fully employed. Secretary TRACY has
urged the construction Of some Of these.
and the vessels he wants. too. are Of kind
that could be competed for by the smaller
establishments. Of which there are many.
while the two or three larger may be taken
up with the big armored vessels. The Sec
rotary says. in his last report. that for
river service on the Asiatio and South At
lantic stations the navy needs urgently
four smaller vessels Of special design"
He also points out the pressing need Of
torpedo boats. The small cruisers thus
spoken OF would be only Of 1900 tons dis
placement. and would cost only about $500. 900
each. while the torpedo boats would not
cost over $4,000 each. and could DO built In
the interior or on the Pacific coast as we'll
as in Atlantic yards. We find no provision
for either Of these classes in the pending
bill. Perhaps. starting on Its basis Of fine
armored cruiser. shortcomings In other re-
spects may be made up during It's progress
through Congress.

Tho New Navy Bill.

The report with which Mr.. HERBERT.
Chairman Of the House Naval Committee.
accompanied the annual Navy Appro-
priation bill Is not quite convincing. It
presents with irresistible force the argu-
ment for continuing that reconstruction Of
the feet on which Congress has long been
engaged; but 1t falls to show why adding q
single vessel Is all that can properly be ex-
pected ut the present session.
Mr.. HERBERT explains that there is .
large unexpended surplus. appropriated in
former years to the increase OF the navy.
owing to unexpected delays In building
ships and their batteries. He praises as
extremely gratifying the work done.
but says that the difficulties In manufac-
turing steel armor make 1t unadvisable to
provide for the two additional battle ships
OF the Indiana type which the Secretary
recommends. or even to provide for ono
OF them. If battle ship were author
izod now. we could not reasonably expect
that the heavy armor it would require could
DO furnished when needed. Certainly. II
reasonable progress were made In its con-
struction. either the new ship or some
already authorized would be obliged to
wait for armor. as several Of them are doing
now" Accordingly the committee con-
fines itself to providing for new armored
cruiser like the New York. whose plates.
being not nearly as thick. can be turned
out more rapidly.
While there Is an evident sincerity In this
view. 1t should be remembered that our
capacities for procuring armor have been
doubled by the establishment Of the Pitts
burgh plant Of CARNEGIE. PHIPPs Il Co..
and further that the success OF the latter
with Its rolled armor Is very important.
Smaller establishments. which could not
undertake to put In big hammer like the
one at Bethlehem. can yet roll plates. at
least to certain extent. and thus our facil-
tiles for producing ship armor. taking all
thicknesses. are greatly increased.
The triumphs Of the Naval Ordnance
Bureau during the last eighteen months In
srmor. guns. projectiles. powder. and other
appliances have been so conspicuous and 50
universally acknowledged that Its work
should be aided by the most liberal appro-
priations. We need 20 no further back than
the recent trouble with Chill to discover
how great q source Of reliance 1t was to
have on hand few completed guns for
which the ships were not ready, but which.
nevertheless. could be turned to account In
various ways for the national defence.
The unexpended appropriations relied
upon arc set apart for specific purposes.
aud can only be used as those purposes
mature. To build . new vessel much pre-
uminary work has TO DO done In planning.
In calling for bids. In deciding upon the
bAds and uDon any altersttons meanwhile

In suits where the plaintiff seeks to re-
cover damages for injuries caused by the
negligence OF the defendant. 1t is a perfect
defence at common law that the injury was
due to want OF ordinary care on the part
OF the plaintiff himself. or. as lawyers call
it. contributory negligence.
There Is bill now before the Legislature
OF this State which proposes to change this
rule and to provide that the negligence Of
the person sustaining the injury shall be
no defence where it was slight In compare
son with the negligence Of the person caus-
ing the injury. The bill also provides that
where the negligence Of the plaintiff and
the defendant shall be equal. no damages
can be recovered. and that the lex
istence and degree OF the negligence caus-
ing or contributing to the injury COM
planned OF shall in all cases be questions of
fact and not OF law"
The effect OF the principal change con-
templated by this measure would be to re-
quire juries to apportion the blame In all
negligence suits where both parties were
at fault. instead OF finding a verdict for the
defendant. as they are now required to do.
wherever it appears that the plaintiff him
self was to any extent directly to blame for
the accident. There can be no doubt that
the task would be extremely difficult In
practice. Indeed. the reason ordinarily as
signed for the prevailing rule which makes
contributory negligence an absolute de-
fence is the difficulty OF ascertaining Just
exactly how much each party is to blame.
where both have been negligent. The ad-
miralty courts in the trial Of collision cases
formerly held that where both vessels were
in fault the loss should be apportioned be-
tween their owners respectively. according
to the degree in which each vessel was
blameworthy: but the rule adopted by
these tribunals In later cases has been that
where both parties are at fault the loss
should be equally apportioned between
them. although one may DO considerably
more to blame than the other.
The declaratory enactment that contrib
utory negligence should In all cases be Q
question OF fact and not Of law. would prob
ably deprive Judges Of the power they now
possess to dismiss the complaint or direct
a verdict for the defendant In negligence
case on the ground that the proof clearly
shows the plaintiff to be ut fault.
Such sweeping changes in the law OF neg
ligence should not be made without careful
consideration and discussion. We are in
clined to think that whatever superiority
In abstract justice there Is in rule appor-
tioning the damages according to the de-
gree Of blame. it would be more than coun-
terbalanced In practice by the difficulty Of
applying such rule In the actual trial OF
suits growing out OF personal injuries.

The True University Extension.

We have received the programme OF the
Chautauqua Assembly for Its summer camp
during the present year. 1t is very re-
markable list.
The camp will open on the 80th OF June
and continue until the 26th OF August. The
great.feature Of tho July course will be q
series OF university extension lectures, as
they are called according to recent termi-
nology. They will be delivered by college
Presidents and professors and certain spe-
cialists and their purpose is to give people
outside Of colleges the benefit Of general
study and discussion Of subjects pursued
by college students.
As private enterprise. such as Chautau-
qua is this Is entirely proper. and 1t may
be useful. As an enterprise supported by
taxation. according to propositions made to
the State. it would be both improper and
unnecessary. University education is not
function which belongs to the State. and 1t
can be fully and better performed by pri-
vate institutions anxious to extend their
fame and magnify their influence. With
out asking the public aid. Chautauqua is
doing everything possible in that way at
trifling cost to its pupils: and no better
lecturers and instructors could be provided
for the purpose than it has obtained.
In August the Chautauqua Assembly will
listen to the teaching OF men and women
whose instruction will relate to wide
variety Of subjects. practical. theoretical.
religious. and sentimental. A peculiar
feature will be mock United States
Congress-" for boys and young men. ex-
tending through session Of several
weeks. Illustrated scientific lectures will en-
terrain and instruct the attendants. Music
will receive much attention. Prize matches
in spelling and pronunciation will engage
the interest Of the people. and there will BIO
many provisions for the mere amusement
and diversion of the camp. Meantime the
Chautauqua College will be open under the
charge Of President HARPER Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago. and teachers will study
their important profession in the depart
ment Of pedagogy. Every sort of instruc-
from cookery and dress reform to penman-
ship. typewriting. and stenography.
1t Is a wonderful institution, this Chau-
tauqua Assembly. By directing home
studies 1t extends its influence to hundreds
Of thousands Of people in all parts Of the
globe. and In Its schools on Chautauqua
Lake during it's summer camp it brings
together thousands Of men and women
anxious to learn Of the things OF earth and
heaven. Its development proves that when
there is really desire for such education
as it gives. private zeal and enterprise are
always capable Of satisfying the demand
without help from the State.
So far as there Is anything In university
extension. as 1t is called. Chautauqua and
the colleges Of the Union are fastening
gladly and eagerly to take advantage Of the
opportunity Of supplying 1t.
