The President has had considerable experience In
other fields in moving down things in his way and
making hay under unfavorabIe conditions; and he
knows n good deal moro about this sort Of farming
than might be supposed.
Moreover. he had the advantage OF being near

The Closing OF the schoolship.

The Board OF Education has decided to
close the schoolship St. Mary's for the re-
mainder OF the year. the sum Of $4,000 for
its support allowed by the Board of Esti-
mate and Apportionment having already
been exhausted.
That being 30. OF course the sole respon-
sibility for the result rests with the Board
OF Education. 1t knew In advance exactly
how much money 1t had to expend on the
school during the year. and when it got rid
OF the whole sum in few months. of course
the only thing for it to do was to tie
up the ship. 1t has tried to shift this re-
sDonsibility on the Mayor and his fellow
members of the Board of Apportionment
but 1t alone must bear the burden.
1t has simply refused to cut its gar
ment according to Its cloth. hoping
for larger allowance when the conse-
quences of its extravaganza became ap-
parent to the public. The sum granted
1t was less than the appropriation for last
year by only about S2.500. and it was large
enough for the regular expenses of the ship
economically managed. Moreover, whom
the Board asked for $4,000 additional, its
request was refused on the very Just
ground that already the nautical school
was proportionately by far the most costly
feature OF the school system.
There was no excuse. then. for the using
up OF the appropriation In the first half of
the year. There was no chance for any
misunderstanding as TO the subject. The
guardians OF the city treasury had confined
the Board OF Education within specified
limits. and they had made known to 1t their
policy with reference to the schoolship;
but the Board went ahead with its expendi-
lures on the vessel as II the estimates had
been granted instead Of having been re-
fused. Itpursued It's own way without re-
gard to law. and then begged for more
money to help 1t out OF the scrape into
which It had got itself and the school In
consequence.
In the face OF these facts the Maritime Ex-
change passed a resolution on Wednesday,
declaring that the Board OF Estimate and
Apportionment had failed to provide money
for the summer cruise Of the schoolship,
and urging 1t and the Mayor to give the

Governor Tillman's Henchmen Quarrel.

When the Hon. JOHN LowNDEs MANNING
IRBY was elected q Senator in Congress
from South Carolina. his biographers repre-
sented him as having been impulsive and
little careless in the use of firearms when
young man. The public impression was
that Mr.. IRBY was as terrible as an army
with banners and that fire was his meat
and drink. A fellow Tillmanite. HUGH L.
FARLEY. Adiutant-General Of South Caro-
lima. seems to regard the redoubtable IRBY
with indecorous lightness. In letter to the
Columbia Journal, Gen. FARLEY says that
Mr. IRBY's purpose lis to bully and keep
down every other political leader in South
Carolina who belongs to the Reform party
and will not do his bidding. and then to
raise old CAIN and keep hell a-brewing un-
til he can get back into the Senate"
AS FARLEY and IRBY have been the most
immediate henchmen OF Governor TILL
MAN. Gen. FARLEY's language seems
rather too severe. and it Is painful to hear
him denouncing Senator IRBY as "thls
loud-lnouthed vulgar-mannered bully and
braggart. who has already disgraced US in
Washington. and Is now bringing discord
Into our own ranks by playing the part Of
a dictator and tyrant. He has done moth
ing for the State. party. or the reform
movement worthy Of distinction. unless 1t
be strutting around Washington like a big
buck nigger on emancipation day. while he
is trying to make our innocent and unsus-
pecting people believe that the bray of O
jackass Is the roar of lion."
Evidently Gen. FARLEY regards Senator
IRBY as pigeon-livered and milk-hearted
man. But II the Tillmanites must quarrel,
why can't they use proper parliamentary

Every objection that has been raised to the
| annexation Of the Hawaiian Islands In 1888
| was urged with greater force and plausibility
| araIpst tho purchase OF Louisiana In lSO3
The ciroum stances Of the two cases are sim
liar in some respects and widely different In
others The points OF difference are In favor
OF the present project for annexation. 80
far az human sagacity and foresight are capa-
BILE OF viewing conditions and estimating re-
suits.
Louisiana. like Hawaii was offered to the
United States. But We paid $15.0OO.OOO for
Louisiana. while we can get Hawaii tor moth
ing.
The offer OF Louisiana came from Napoleon
who was afraid 1t would be captured by Eng.
land. and who wanted money. The ofier OF
Hawaii comes from the people Of the islands,
who want no compensa nsation but the privilege
OF living under the American flag.
To reach Louisiana from New York required
longer and more dif1cult journey in 1903
than is now required to reach Hawaii
American interests are now more important
in Hawaii than they we're In Louisiana ninety
years ago.
MIR. Livingston, our Minister at Paris In 1903.
and Mr.. Monroe, who had been sent there to
effect settlement OF irritating questions be-
tween France and the United States. had no
specific authority to negotiate for so vast an
acquisition as that OF the Louisiana territory
But considering that q letter could lot be sent
to Washington and an answer received in less
than three months. and realizing that hesita-
tion would be fatal. they promptly made the
purchase In behalf OF the United States Gov
ernment
President Jefferson was quick In bringing
about ratification OF the bargain. He called
an extra session Of Congress. which assembled
Oct II. 1903 and before the month had ex-
pired Louisiana was ours.
There was nerce opposition to the Louisiana
purchase then. ss there Is now to the annexa-
tion OF Hawaii But the United States had
patriotic. far-seeing. and energetic Admins
tration. which knew enough to seize opportu-
mites and make the most of them.
Tho Louisiana purchase caused threats Of
accession By the MuRwump element Of those
days. but the wisdom OF jefferson and his CO.
laborers has been magnincently vindicated.
The Jeffersonian policy Of annexation gave
us o country that stretches from ocean to
ocean, from the great lakes to the southern
gulf 1t also put Alaska In our possession
Hawaii Is OF greater money value than Alaska.
and exceeds 1t immeasurably In i'm portance as
an outpost In the path Of . vast international
commerce.
An irretrievable blunder may be committed.
unless the tactics Of the Administration are
soon changed. II We spurn tho offer Of the

will be very evident that something different |

The purpose indicated by the title OF this

essary verbiage." said Mr.. BUCHANAN.
"simply provides that one who makes the
moulds or dies for the purpose of making
counterfeit coin. shall be held to have there
by committed a misdemeanor." Mr.. BU-
CHANAN's report from the Committee on the
Judiciary In regard to the bill was not read
70 the House. but was ordered printed In the
Congressional Record On the strength Of his
brief oral statement as to what the measure
contained. and what it aimed to effect.
the House passed the BILL which subse-
Quently went to the Senate. was passed
there In a hurry. with some verbal amend
ments. upon Mr.. EDMUNDs's assurance that
everything was all right. and was exam
