The British Admiralty has wisely taken
care that In tho discussion OF the personal
responsibility for the loss OF the battle ship
Victoria. the all-important lesson In regard to
the bulkhead doors shall not be forgotten.
Naturally during the proceedings OF the court
martial the great inquiry was as to why and
how the collision took place. and how 1t might
have beeAavoided. But the Admiralty In its
recent review OF tho case. brings to the front
again the question how even with the coll
lision. the loss OF the vessel and OF SO many
lives might have been prevented. 1t most I'M
prsssively declares that the Victoria capsized
owing to her water-tight doors not being
closed. Otherwise she would have remained
afoat and reached port with her own steam"
This Is conclusion OF supreme importance.
and warning to all other navies no less than
to the British. 1t was not brought into SO full
prominence by the court martial, which was
busy studying TRYoN's fatal order and the
measures taken to avoid collision. But IL
was the lax custom that allowed water-tiRht
compartments TO remain open during the
mannuvres-o OF so many vessels together that
made possible tho final disaster.
Secretary HERBERT long ago applied tho
lesson to our own navy In issuing strict orders
as to the watsr-tight compartments specially
provided for safety. Leaving their doors open
should be very exceptional instead OF habituaL
permitted only when NO possibility OF collision
is apparent. and always under such guard
that they can DO instantly closed on signal.

IL not. and the prospect Of the destruction
Of the protective tariff IL the direct and the
only reason for their loss Of employment, 1t
is waste OF ink to ask Congress to keep
back from the work which the American
people elected 1t to do. Whatever distress
has resulted from the apprehension Of re-
versal OF the economic policy OF the coun-
try. and whatever distress may result
before the beneficial effects Of the change
are visible, the will OF the people must be
obeyed. Moreover. good patriots will not
murmur at n distress incurred for the sake
OF great constitutional principle.
But all this distress and depression. this
idleness OF mills and workmen, must be re-
garded as only q temporary symptom. 1t Is
the pain that comes OF the surgeons knife.
When protection is swept away. and the
country begins to enjoy tariff for revenue
only. the brief day OF adversely will be for
gotten In the permanent prosperity that
will ensue. That such prosperity is sure to
come as result Of the revenue tariff, the
advocates OF that tariff have been telling us
for years, and such must have been the e2-
pectation OF the people when they voted for
1t last year. The workmen of jamestown
and OF all other manufacturing towns that
have suffered or are now suffering from
temporary depression Of business, should
not cry in anxiety and terror. but await
with courage the passing Of the industrial
pangs that mark the struggles Of doomed
system. Nor can the Democrats in Con-
gress pay any attention to memorials that
ask for the perpetuation OF the robbery OF
the great majority of the American people
for the benefit OF the few.

What In the name Of gold or silver has

MAN both voted. to do with partisan poll
tics ? In effect, the Democratic party stood
out OF the contest. The final contest in tho
Senate found the Democratic Senators
equally divided. and exercising no effect
| upon the measure either way. That was
carried because among the Republicans
sufficient majority favored it to outweigh
the combination OF silver Republicans and
Populists. The affair ended in Republican
fractional fight. and under the strictest rules

If any one inclines again to write down
GROVER CLEVELAND on the SHERMAN side
Of politics. let him imagine SHERMAN as
President also. and look at the diametri-
cally opposed policies Of the two Chief Mag
istrates on three crucial points.
President CLEVELAND believes In turning
out Republican offlceholders and putting
Democrats in their places. President SHER-
MAN would turn out Democrats and put In
Republicans.
President CLEVELAND will sign the bill
repeating the Federal Election laws. or
Force laws. as they exist in Democratic
eyes. President SHERMAN would veto it
with as much greater haste as his more
highly nervous organization makes him
quicker with his pen.
President CLEVELAND will attach his
signature to bill to establish tariff
for revenue only, and to no other. Presi-
dent SHERMAN would denounce 1t as inter-
national altruism run wild and as the cul-
minating atrocity OF scholastic indifference
to the general welfare.
Politics cannot make bedfellows OF GRO
YER CLEVELAND and JOHN SHERMAN.

The Democratic Future.

q. In our judgment 1t cannot be affirmed
that the Democratic party failed to redeem
the financial pledge OF the Chicago platform
by Its refusal through its partisans in the
Senate to support the VOORHEES, bill. Sem
etor GoRNAN, who voted for the bill from
the first. stated clearly, rs the Demo-
cratic leader had the right and duty to
state. the principle upon which those Dem
ocrats who refused to follow. stood unflnch-
ingly against it. The platform was far from
intimating that the repeal OF the purchas-
ing clause Of the SHERMAN bill, the single
aim and result OF the Presidents action.
faithfully represented the Democracy's in
tent, or would mark Off the Chicago obliga-
!. ton as satisfied. To this extent we must
criticise q letter printed this morning in
another column. which in other respects Is
good food for the especial reflection OF
Democrats.
The pledges OF the Democracy which
cover the four years following March 4.
1898. regardless Of any possible transforma-
tions In the political situation meanwhile.
are the subject Of very active examination.
There Is an undeniable manifestation OF
mistrust as to their honorable redemption,
and not. unfortunately. altogether without
cause. The Democracy has received great
trust. under instructions entirely simple.
unequivocal, and absolute in authority.
Who Is to be O traitor to these instructions
and attempt to fasten on his party be-
trayal OF Its contracts unknown in the
annals Of party disgrace? The time for
warning Is on the eve Of action.
