As the trial OF Philip Norman Nicholas
progresses. the interest in the case Is

hardly an inch OF standing-room in the

proceedings with absorbing interest.

The name of Samuel Morey Of Fairlee, VT
is not on the roll of fame, but it would seem
as though his absence was due to error. If
the records reliable and they appear to be all
right, Samuel Morey was the first man to invent,
build and run steamboat. In discussing this
matter the marlborough PhGnir claims that
Morey's title to this great distinction is indis-
putable. 1t has always been understood that
Morey made several efforts to achieve naviga-
ton by steam. but it is not generally known
that he ran q steamboat from Hartford to New
Haven, and that he built at Bordentown. n. j..
a larger boat which he ran between that place
and Philadelphia At that time Fulton, the Liv-
ingstons and several other mechanicians were
struggling to apply steam to vessel-propulsion,
but without success. A model Of the Borden
town boat was exhibited in New York. where it
was seen by Fulton, who made commercial ap-
plication of the invention. 1t would seem as
though Samuel Morey had been neglected for
an unreasonably long period. Let enthusiastic
vermonters produce the testimony and boom
his memory.

Deserving Of all commendation is the work
that has been done by the temporarily en-
ployed sanitary agents who for several days
past have been engaged in . house to house in
spection- Within nine days this hastily organ
ized force has covered one hundred and ten
squares and knows precisely where to find the
unhealthy conditions in about seventeen hun
dred houses Extraordinary zeal has been a
remarkable feature in this inspection service
and should the same vigor be applied to the
entire work the District will have reason to re-
joscs and be exceeding glad Blu. the effort
must not end with q single inspection. although
that will result profitably; the highest type
Of sanitary safety cannot be main
tanned without large appropriations. and
these. so far a. the District Of Columbia are
concerned, do not exist. The Sanitary League
must not relax its efforts to secure permanent
and thorough self-inspection by the various
blocks Of the city or cease to strive to educate
the citizen up to q sense Of his individual re-
possibilities, and to a realization of the fact
that ignorance and carelessness as to sanitary
matters threaten his own existence and that Of
those who are deares. to him in the family
circle.

Warrington is deeply interested in the efforts
that arc being made to induce a display of the
foreign warships at Annapolis Roads. A num-
Der Of those vessels will soon assemble in
Hampton Roads and after remaining there for
some time will proceed to New York, there to
participate In the great naval review. The
arguments in favor Of brief stay at Annapolis
far outweigh the opposing statements. Resi-
dents Of this vicinity desire to see the great
ships, but cannot in any considerable number

1t is most refreshing to note that reputable
citizens of foreign birth are becoming weary Of
the demagoguery which too frequently rises up
and demands unreasonable recognition in pub
lie affairs. The Chicago city council, anxious
as individuals to plaster soft-soap all over the
Irish and German vote. closed the city Offices
on st. Patrick's day and on the Emperor
Williams birthday. That it failed as to the
better class Of Germans is evidenced by the
resolutions adopted by the Chicago Turnge-
meinde. in which that high grade organization
denounced most emphatically the municipal
action as to the emperor's birthday as Sun
American and not In accordance with the views
Of German-American citizens Of this great cos
mopolitan city. In declaring this proceeding
a silly piece of demagogism We believe we ex-
press the sentiment of not only our German
American population, but the people of all
nationalities who have adopted this country as
their home"

course. possible. 1t would be matter Of regret.
but no reason whatever for deciding that the
balance of the feet should forego the trip, and
the people Of Maryland, Virginia, West vir-
ginis. Pennsylvania and Delaware, including
the cities of Baltimore. Washington and Phila-
delphia, would have to be content with por-
ton of the great feet, which would still be the
finest naval display that has been in our
waters The assembling of the feet
is not especially for the benefit Of the officers
and crews, or the people of New York. but for
the nation 1t is a national affair. for which
Congress made an ample appropriation. and the
way to make il a success is to give as many
people as possible an opportunity to see 1t.
This can be accomplished at a trifing expense
by bringing the feet to Annapolis Roads for
two or three davs, instead of allowing 1t to re-
main at anchor for a week at Hampton Roads
IL the officers cannot go through the usual
round OF visits at Hampton Roads, they can
continue their calls on the way up the bay and
after they reach their anchorage of Annapolis
There is a magnificent body of deep water at
Annapolis Roads, and the adjacent shore is
crowned with an open bluff which will accom-
modate comfortably an immense body Of Amer
lean people. The place of the proposed naval
display is accessible by land and water from
Baltimore in about an hour and a quarter and
by rail from Washington in about the same
time while the largest excursions to Bay Ridge
in the summer are often from Philadelphia and
Wilmington.

AmbassadoriAl privileges are being discussed
quite extensively just now in view of the
changes that are being made in diplomatic re-
htions between several of the greater European
nations and the United States, but only trifiing

ambassadors resident here are concerned, may

The Justification for the passage Of the Dis
trict's existing liquor license law was the neces-
sity OF providing some law with penalties that
could be enforced confessedly imperfect
statute was welcomed a. q substitute for a legal
condition which gave no substantial protection
TO the public through enforceable limitations
upon the liquor dealer. The law was accepted
ss - grounding case"
But no sooner was the law enacted than the
hquor-dealers claimed that Congress had failed
TO accomplish even the exceedingly limited
purpose Of providing penalties for illegal
liquor selling. The new law repealed
the old Law, and it was maintained
and agreed that prosecutions could not be
conducted under the old law. All offenders prior
TO ths date Of the new enactment, whatever
stage their prosecution had reached. were con-
sequently permitted to escape. The liquor
men chcerfully assented to the repeal of SO
much Of the old law provided regu-
lations and restrictions upon the liquor
traffic. and punishment for violations, but
when it was maintained as the logical
conclusion of the repeal of the old law
that the permits or licenses to sell liquor
granted under it we're also revoked.
the dealers Immediately protested. Their
contention was that licenses issued under the
old Law were irrevocable contracts, and that
while Congress might deprive the District OF
all power to enforce those provisions of this
alleged contract which were inserted for its pro-
tection the legislature could not constitutionally
deprive them Of the privilege under this
alleged contract Of selling liquor, for which
they bad rendered Q consideration. in the shape
Of license fee, to the District. If
their contention had been sustained, the
sole justifyins purpose Of the new law
would have failed, and until next November
those liquor dealers who have licenses under
the old law could sell absolutely without reguia-
ton or restriction The old law could not
regulate them because it has been
repealed. The new law could not
touch them because its regulations are
limited to those holding licenses that are
granted under it. But fortunately for the Dis
trict the police court saw the law in
another light 1t did not hold that
Congress could not constitutionally revoke .
District liquor license. 1t did not hold
that the repeal Of the old law was = one-sided
affair. destroying every provision Of that statute
which protected the public, but preserving
every provision which protected the liquor
dealer. Judge Miller's decision is sensible and
Just.
