| Ono reason why the Republicans OF
| Brooklyn are seriously nggricved by the
| apportionmcnts which their Democratic
| opponents have recently made. Is tho sup
position. general among Republicans. that
| they still constitute q numerous body in
| Brooklyn. When IRA DAVENPORT ran for
| Governor in 1885 he carried eleven OF the
| twenty-five wards OF that city. and Gen.
| CATLIN, the Republican candidate for
Mayor. carried ten wards in the Same cleo
ton. In 1883 HARRISON carried nine Brook
Ign wards against CLEVELAND. and in the
Mnyoralty election OF the year following
ANDREW BAIRD carried ten wards. II the
Same equal division of parties continued in
Brook n to-day. q division Of districts under
which the Democrats had seventeen and tho
Republicans only one, would DO manifcstly
unjust; but the fact is. that at last
years election. out OF the twenty-eight
wards. HARRISON carried only two by more
than IN infinitesimal plurality. These
wards wcre the Twentieth. in which he had
500 majority. and the Twenty-third. tho re-
naming Republican stronghold. in which
he had 2.4OO. He carried three other wards
by small fraction, while CLEVELAND car
ried tweuty-throe wards. most OF them by
rousing majorities.
Though the changes which this altered
condition attcsts seem clear to every
one else. they do not appear to be UNDER
stood by the Brooklyn Republicans. Their
leaders allege that, had tho ward boun-
diaries been strictly followed. n different re-
suit would have been obtained; and it is on
that point that they intend to appeal to tho
courts. But inasmuch as they are In po-
litical control Of only two wards. out OF
twentyeight. and there are but eighteen
Assembly districts. it Is difficult to see how
they would fare very much better than
now. even IL the ward lines were accepted
as absolutely controlling the Assembly
superintendent Meanwhile. the Democrats
OF Brooklyn. undaunted by the claims Of
their antagonists. declare that they will
have a bigger majority than last year or
the year before. though both were big years
for the Kings county Democracy.

If it be true that Dutch traders in the re-
public Of Colombia are in tho habit OF selling
Indian girls thero for the purpose OF selling
them rs servants in the Dutch island OF Cura-
Goa, the Colombian Government ought to pro-
hibit Dutch ships from entering its ports. or
oughtto seize any Dutch ship which has these
Indian girls aboard OF it. Colombia has sent
to Holland protest against the continuance
OF the piratical traffic. and we feel assured
that 1t will cease as soon as 1t is brought to
the notice OF the civilized world 1t is unfor-
tunate for Colon bia that she has no navy.

The Flagship of Farragut.

Secretary HERBFRT has wisely decided to
put the Hartford in commission again. after
repairs and changes that will make her an
efficient vessel.
The famous old corvette has long been in
ordinary at the Mare Island yard not being
fit for sea service. Tho Hartford and the
Kearsarge were specially exempted by
Congress from the operation OF the law
which prohibits the repair OF wooden YES
sells when the cost would exceed 90 per cent.
OF what would BIO required to build new
ship of the same sort. Thanks to this ex-
cepton. FARRAGUT's flagship. renowned at
Forts Jackson and ST. Philip and In Mobile
Bay. can be made available.
AS for her companion in glory. the vessel
with which WINsLow sent the Alabama
to the bottom OF the British Channel, she
il under repairs at Portsmouth, after n
long season OF vigilant guardianship Of
American interests In the West Indies.
when all the modern ships OF the North At
lantic squadron had been ordered north for
parade festivities. By autumn she will DO
again in trim for routine duty.
The Hartford, before going into commits
sion. will receive various alterations. Her
present ship rig will be changed to that OF
n bark. and the sail area will be greatly re-
duced her machinery will receive extensive
repairs: some OF the side planking will be
renewed and she will have battery OF
6-inch and 4-inch rifles.
These modernlzatons in appearance and
in power will still. however. leave her es-
sentlally the old Hartford. She and the
Kearsarge. freed from tho restrictions OF
the 20 per cent. repair law, may serve many
year yet, for their hulls are sound. When
their days Of sea service are over. they
should be preserved for their memories and
for their inspirations during at least a CEN
fury. as the English still keep NELSON'S
flagship Victory. and as even the hulk OF
our own old Constitution. though much
changed aud rebuilt. is still to be found
housed over as n receiving ship. at Ports
mouth Navy Yard. awaiting her hundredth
anniversary, which will come In 1897.
