ga STRIKE FOR sPOILs."

Under this caption an Eastern paper has
the following:
II theie are to be no postofiees given out
there shall be no legislation. The striking Con-
gressmen even follow the example OF other or
ganized strikers to the extent OF threatening
mischief. They Will burn the factory; they VIII
let things 20 smash with free silver and all
sorts OF abhorrent measures unless they can
have the postofices
The conflict between the President and
Congressman which is f0reshadowed is
based rather upon the recognition of Con-
gresSmen as proper sponsors for applicants
for office than upon demand that patron
age be given out at once. The four-year
term is accepted by both parties as polite
and just. But Congressman think when
the time comes TO appoint they should be
consulted They know that, whether or
not they are consulted, home public opinion
holds them responsible for the selections
that are made. Not one man in a thousand
knows whether an appointment is made in
accordance with or against the recommend
alton of the Congressional delegation. Mr..
Cleveland's opposing idea is that the people
have eyes for no one but the President
lie proposes to consult Congressman as he
would any other reputable men from the
locality. When the appointment is made
the recipient will have no one to thank bu.
the President. He will not know what
recommendation had influence in procuring
him the office. In consequence he Will con-
slider himself under especial obligation to
the President. In this way a President
could surround himself by an almost invin-
chile army of place-holders. Such a pros
pect is not very attractive to Congressional
delegations, who naturally aspire to in
crease their own mower

NO IRON-cLAD RULE.

Postmaster General Bssell is reported
as saying that there is no iron-cad rule
against giving an editor an Office. Says the
good Nj. B;Ssell: If postmaster chooses
to sit up late at nights writing editorials we
certainly will not object, nor will we if The
postmaster writes anything after Office
hours for weekly paper" Mr.. Bissell
makes some rather fine distinctions. He is
himself 4 lawyer. He does not stipulate,
however, that a lawyer who happens to be
postmaster shall do his work in court after
the court has adjourned. Il is a notorious
fact that ofice-h0ldng does not bar the way
Of a lawyer to practice when there is
good fee in sight. Why then should a man
engaged in newspaper work be considered
ineligible TO office. 1t viii readily be ad-
mitted that Office holding tends to impair
the usefulness of newspaper men. The
best newspaper work is done by men who
are not looking for a way out of their pro-
fession. So are the best newspapers con-
Quoted by men who do not want an Office.
But good Mr.. Bissel is not looking out for
the newspaper profession. but for the good
of the postoffice service. Why should he
intimate that writing an occasional editorial
in spare time is more deleterious to the
service than conducting law case, attend
ing patients, selling dry goods or groceries.
Possibly good Mr.. Bssell did not stop to

FROM LAKE TO OCEAN.

The very remarkable development of ship
ping Oh the great lakes of America makes
it certain that at no distant day a deep
water canal will be constructed, giving ac-
c0mmOdatiOn to the largest sea-going YES
sells. Shipping of moderate size is now
enabled to reach the sea. a project has
been mooted Of connecting the lakes with
the Hudson at tidewaier by way of Lake
Champain. The promoters also seek an
outlet to the sea for the largest vessels via
the ST. Lawrence. These proposals are en-
tirely practicable at a moderate expendi-
ture, and whether in all their details they
are followed or not a waterway to the ine-
rior Of this continent for the biggest vessels
the shpbuiders can launch is an Inevitable
achievement.
The wants Of transportation in the West
as well as the needs of ship building itself
are factors that press for a solution Of this
matter. The great northern lakes now
have plying upon their surface from Supe-
Tior to Erie nearly 36 per cent OF the total
tonnage of the United States merchant
marine, excluding the western rivers The
number of steam and sailing vessels on the
lakes in 1891 was 3GOO with gross tonnage
of l,154,S7O. On the Atlantic and Gulf
coast the tonnage was 2,78O,6S3 and the
rivers 1t was 3OS, 347 Ths steam vessels on
the lakes. considered separately, had ton
mage of 736, 75l and on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts it was only $50, ,375. Lake steamships
have, on the average, a much greater ton
mage than United States ocean steamers.
At present the size varies from 1000 TO 5000
tons, but even a 4000-ton steamer has
been built on the lakes. Tho value
of the shipping in 1891 was esti-
mated at S70,O0O,0OO. In recent years
there las been immense progress In
iron and steel ship building, the incentive
being the greater cargo capacity of such
vessels in relation TO their own weight as
compared with wooden vessels. Over thirty
firms are engaged in iron ship building with
a total capital of from SIS, 900, coo to Sla.-
000,000 and the average annual rate Of con-
struction is about 100000 gross tons. At
the beginning of January, this year, there
were ifty-one vessels under construction of
1000 tors average carrying capacity. The
bar to an increase in the size of vessels is
the limitation Of draught for shoaer waters
OF rivers and harbOrs 10 about twenty feet.
With access to the sea OF a deep water canal
not only would vessels Of the largest ton
mage be launched. bu steamers OF 10000 tons
and 600 feet long might be seen on Lake
Erie as at New York The gain in trans
porta ton facilities by rendering the lakes
thus accessible to the largest vessels with
out breaking bulk at the Atlantic ports
would be incalculaby great.
Only twenty years have passed since iron
ship building was started on the lakes.
Who can predict what s: will be twenty
years henceP The facilities for this indus
try are not surpassed on the Delaware nor
on the Clyde. Iron. steel. copper, timber
and coal are abundant in close proximity to
The building ships. If anywhere in the world

TIE COLLEGE INAUGURATION.

The speeches which we're delivered on
Thursday at the Inauguration of President
Martin Kellogg Of the University of Cali
foInia were worthy of a larger audience
than gathered to hear them. The new
president is a quiet unObstrusive man, who
does his duty faithfully and always talks
sense; the veteran lie Conte has made the
subject Of university development his IDEAL
and has reached it in many details. His
enumeration Of the characteristics of higher
education was interes ting. Such an educa-
tion. he said, must be thoroughly human,
distiuctiyely modern, distinctvely Amer
lean. dIstGctiyely Californian and stnC-
lively individual The professor would have
done himself justice if he had explained
himself more fully. Il is obvious that the
higher education should be modern, human
and adapted 10 The wants of each individual
organization. II il can be all these, and
likewise American and Californian, it will
be tie more valuable; but if it IS not mod
ern, human and flexible, it will not redeem
itself by being American and Californian.
We want the future students of Berkeley TO
be the peers Of scholars everywhere. There
was a great deal Of truth in Lamartine's
slightly exaggerated and poetic lines: 81
am the fell0W-citiZen of every thinker and
acknowledge 10 country bnt truth"
What the professor meant was that Aa
college which he adorns should not turn
out foreign types. The British universities
aim TO turn out young men who are first of
all gentlemen. Many are athletes and
others strong in the classics. The German
universities turn ont Young men who are so
devoted to high philosophy and art that
many Of them cannot conceive any higher
aim in life than in the pursuit Of these.
The American college should produce a dif-
ferent type-young men who are educated
all round, who are scholars without believ-
ing that everything is to be found in books,
scientists who realize that there Is some
thing besides comic sections in the world,
athletes who do not believe that baseball is
the end and aim Of human life, gentlemen
who admit that all the world cannot wear
Kid gloves, with a temper trained to be
gentle and generous 10 all and a mind so
plastic that it can accept new doctrines
when they are found to be true doctrines
and which will not tie to delusions because
they are ancient. That type, it may be
hoped, is American and Californian, and in
that sense the professor included the better
qualifications among his indispensablcs.
He knows-none better--that truth is not
local, but universal and that the perfect
graduate will be perfect graduate not only
in the shade Of his own college, but every
where throughout the world

AN EXCUSE WANTED.

An excuse is wanted for the exercise of
discretion on the part of the President
which delayed the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands The only one which as yet
has occurred to the President is that sugar.
planters may have fomented a revolution in
the hope of getting the American bounty on
sugar. This excuse might have served
fairly well if the largest sugar-p planters on
the islands had not said that the benefit of
having contract labor was greater than
could result from the bounty on sugar.
Besides, contract labor while the islands re-
mained independent was permanent, while
the sugar bounty could last but year or
two at best.

weight of shot would play ha voc with

weapons of greater power are needed by
the artillerist Of the most vaulting ambt-

but not a weightier charge. But ii swlfter
velocity is attsinable at the Euu's mouth it
will be secured In weapons of smaller
caliber, as in the smsll-bore rifles now uni

progress of artillery lies more in the devils

and are necessarily slow IN operation.
Within a given time the weight OF shot dis

by gun which requires several minutes to

The adage that it takes nine tailors to
make man cannot apply to the Mannheim
needle-plier who has invented culrass Of
cloth which turns or keeps out modern rifle
bullets at short range and thus saves life.
A small-bore military rifle carries from
mile TO mile and half, and is sighted to
be effective at that distance. 1t has even
been assumed that it will go through several
men in line at distance of a mile. Mainly
for this reason, the deadliness of Infantry fire,
field tactics have been completely changed
so as TO give open formations in advanc-
ing and allow more freedom to Individual
initiative. But the rifle is now 10 be dis.
counted by prepared tunic weighing six
pounds which is not penetrable at dis
lance OF 100 yards. AT a shorter distance a
bullet causes an indentati0n against wood
which might stun soldier. The arms, head
and legs are to be left vulnerable, and doubt
less the soldier will consider that exposure
quite enough. 1t would be strange II this
invention wrought another change in field
tactics. 1t may be of use to protect war
vessels and strengthen fOrtiicatons, in
which event wool would enjoy Doom.
The official architects who design build
ings for Federal purposes are not renowned
for wisdom Of adaptation to ends, and are
very seldom entitled to commentator for
taste. 1t is now suggested that designs for
great structures should be thrown open to
competition. Under strict conditions and
honest management this should lead 10 I'M

defects in the competitive system, especially
in dealing with contractors. Something
