Rewards for Arctic Livs Savers.

In the summer Of 1871 bar + named the
Arctic. hailing from the SandW Itch Islands,
was on cruise In the Arctic Oc'Rn Tor the
purpose Of catching whales. The\American
whaling fleet was greatly endangered In
that season by reason Of the peculiar
climatic conditions which prcvailed> in tho
mort crn seas. and the Captain and ,Vew OF
this Hawaiian vessel abandoned \their
business OF whale catching and de voted
themselves to tho rescue OF the seamen\ on
board tue imperilled ships. Their efforts In
this direction resulted in the rescue Of VIC
men III all.
In February, 1892. Mr.. DAWES Of Massachu-'
sets introduced in the Senate Of the United
States bill authorizing the Secretary OF
the Treasury to pay $4,000 to the owners
OF the Hawaiian bark Arctic in COM
pcnsation for the losses which were sus-
tanned and the services which wore rem
dered in rescuing these TIC men. for the
benefit Of the owners md such officers and
sailors as served upon the vessel at the
time. The bill directed that the moneys
should 10 distributed by the owners be-
tween themselves and the officers and crew
in proportion to the shares to which they
would have been entitled In the proceeds
Of the whaling enterprise II that had been
carried out.
The bill was first referred to the Commit
tee on Commerce. and subsequently TO the
Committee on Foreign Relations. which re-
ported it back to the Senate last week with
an amendment reducing the amount appro-
priated from $4,000 to $23.5OO. The com
mittee favors its passage as thus amended.
The enactment OF such u measure seems
to fall fairly within the constitutional
power Of Congress over the subject Of COM
merce; and the passage OF this particular
bill. assuming that the amount appro-.
priated is reasonable. appears to be proper
exercise OF that power. 1t is only fair to
protect the owners and crew OF a foreign
vessel against any money loss which they
have actually incurred by reason Of services
rendered by them In rescuing American
sailors from peril on the high sens.
There Is one provision in the bill. how
ever. which we do not like: The Secretary
of the Treasury shall not be bound to see to
the application Of said moneys by the
owners" In other words. Congress directs
that the money shall be divided among the
owners. officers. and sailors of this Sand
wlch Island bark in certain fixed propor-
lions. and yet declines to exercise any
supervision over the distribution. or take
any care to see that 1t is made in the pre-
scribed manner. This is q serious defect.
which should be cured before the measure
becomes q law. Some Government officer
should be charged with the duty OF seeing
that the money goes to the persons for
whom it Is intended.

We find In your esteemed Wumpish con-

found ethical reflections:

exsmrunes the fac: that he who' subordinates the
higher attributes OF his nature to ambition concedes

discretion and be handle apped inhs struggle for
self aggrandizement."
DAVID D. HILL hasn't made any failures as
yet: nor in his successes has he Leon alone.
The Democratic party Of New York has been
with him. 1t has resped the benefit OF his
triumphs. Should the Democratic party call
him to q higher post. he will not forget his
duty to tho Democratic party. Ho wiz not think
that he was elected by tho Republican purity or
the Mugwnmps, and he will never fan into tho
illusion that he Is the Democratic party.
A man who has the Democratic party OF New
York at his back. and Is admired by hundreds
OF thousands OF Democrats in other States. is
not likcly to be lonesome.

two 7.500-ton vessels are. therefore, about
an Offset for each other: the present battle
ship and armored cruiser are an equiva'
lent for two Of the 1890 battle ships. while
the four gunboats and six torpedo boats
now proposed would not equal In cost the
third 1890 battle ship. without reckoning
the torpedo cruiser and torpedo boat OF
that year. Thus. the present Congress In
this amended bill would keep within the
limit OF Its predecessor.
The House committee itself says that the
country ought to have nine more battle
ships and thirty torpedo boats. II 80. 1t Is
simple prudence to begin providing them
and two OF the armored ships with six

purpose in China. but the former was sunk
ten years ago and the latter Is now practi.
cally beyond further repair.
A very noticeable point In the plan OF the
Senate committee Is that 1t makes no new
appropriation for the additional vessels It
proposes. It limits their ultimate cost. but
that Is all. Perhaps In this fact may be
found the method Of reconcling the differ
ences between the Senate and the House.
The latter is undoubtedly controlled In
great part by the desire to effect great re-
duction OF expenses. as compared with the
record OF its predecessor. Besides. tho
House Naval Committee urges that the ac-
tual construction OF any arnored ships can
only begin many months hence. and that
the plates will be delayed until the begin
ming Of 1894. Admitting this to be the fact.
the logical deduction is not to delay
the authorization OF such vessels. but SIM
ply to delay the appropriation for them.
Prompt authorization will enable tho Navy
Department to go ahead with the long proc
ess OF designing the vessels. calling for
bids. and awarding contracts. Next winter
at its second session it can make the needed
and meanwhile the pre-
lminary work will oil have been done.
Small appropriations might DO made now
for the gunboats and torpedo boats. but
these would add little to the amount appro-
priatcd by the bill.
