but thus far all the negotiations In regard
to SANTANA Bay. st. Thomas, and Mole st.
Nicolas have come To naught. The impor-
lance Of the Isthmus Is so great that steps
have boen taken to obtain a station there, but
the unfortunate experience with Chiriqui
Lagoon and Colo Dulce proved somewhat
discouraging. On the western coast OF
South America our naval movements have
become so important that it has even
been sought to establish q station In the
Galapagos Islands. although no arrange
ment for the purpose has yet been made
with Ecuador. On the eastern coast. 1t was
formerly proposed that we should acquire
station at Santa Catharina in Brazil, while
still another on the Straits OF Magellan
would be as suitable for us as Great Bril-
tain's in the Falkland Islands is for her.
For more distant waters 1t has been sug-
gested that we should acquire rights In
Tullear Bay. Madagascar. at Monrovia in
Liberia, and In some one OF the islands of
Corea. But the carrying out OF even
small portion Of this ambitious programme
might be Of much service.

contemporary, rs a Mugwump. to blow hot

cleayed to in November. Col. WATTERsoN
holds no such patent OF political vagabond-
age. He believes in the Democratic party
and its principles. He expects that the
Democratic party will try to put upon the
statute books laws that will be In accord
ance with it's principles. He cannot be
made TO regard a Democratic National
Convention as a meeting Of the Pickwick
Club. or a clear, definite, and solemn prom
ise OF the Democracy as empty wind and
deusive surplusage.
We cannot make out whether the Boston
Mugwumps supported the Democratic ticket
last year under Misrepresentation. or
whether they are still infected with the
protectionist ideas common in q manufac-
turing State. At any rate, they kicked
away the stool OF repentance In 1892. Ii
they voted the Democratic ticket. they are
estopped from objecting to the carrying
out OF the Democratic policy. They must
browse where they are tethered.

the condition OF the Irish poor was ma
terially improved under the Inst SAJIsBUBY
administration.
The sources whence the Irish poor unions
derive their revenue are, first, rate levied
upon every species ofreal property: second
ly, loans; thirdly. grants from the imperial
exchequer; and. finally, the product OF the
labor OF the inmates Of poorhouses. The
poor rate Is not uniform throughout the
country. The expenses Of workhouse are

division, which Is subdivision OF n union.
contributing In proportion to the number
OF its poor relieved. We have seen that
this machinery. although elaborate and
costly, does not effectually reach the
most deserving. Mr.. A. j. REID, our
Consul at Dublin. to whom we are
indebted for our facts. points out
that, for assisting the worthy poor.
charitable people have formed private
organizations which are supported by vol
untary contributions and requests. The
principal institution Of the kind in Dublin
is called the Society for the Relief of Sick
and INDECENT Roomkeepers Of all Religious
Persuasions. In 1890 this society gave aid
to no fewer than $4,000 sick and distressed
persons. who preferred to suffer in their
own homes rather than apply to the official
guardians Of the poor. The next largest
eleemosynary institution is the Society OF
st. Vincent de Paul, which was founded
in 1916 for the assistance OF the indi-
gent, without reference to their religious
opinions. 1t Is at their own homes that the
poor are visited and aided by the members
Of this society. which has acquired a re-
markable development. having now some
one hundred and forty branches in the
various cities and towns Of Ireland. There
is also large number Of other establish
ments intended for specific charitable pur-
poses; and we may mention. finally. that
since 1858 not only reformatory, hut indus
trial schools, have been started in various
parts Of the country. for the purpose OF in
structing the inmates in any trade or craft
for which they may evince an aptitude.

We are not surprised at the complete fall

about the same as that on the previous Sunday.
and was only one-ifth or one-sixth as large as
that upon the other days Of the week. People
will not 20 to It on that day because most OF
the exhibits are closed. and the exhibitors close

are opposed to Sunday opening refuse to 20.

stay away Tho managers opened 1t on Sun
day 30 as to make money. but now want to
close It. as they lose money that day. They

PEELED to keep 1t open for the past two Sun
days by order OF another Judge. They ought
to have kept It closed every Sunday out OF re-
spect for the act OF Congress- under which
they got an appropriation from the Treasury:
but they tried. in very discreditable way. to
evade the provisions OF that act while holding
on to the Appropriation: and now that they

We are to see here a fleet Of three
Italian war ships with 800 naval. cadets
aboard. They are on long cruise such as
the naval ships OF Italy have rarely ever
made Italy presented a reputable show in
the naval review Of last April in the Hudson.

as seen here were In quality not behind those
Of most European powers.
The cadets aboard the coming feet are from
the Royal Naval School at Leghorn and their
visit to their brethren OF the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis ought to be an
interesting event. especially II there shall be
competitive exercises. The cadets OF the
Leghorn institution are picked young Ital-
ians. as those OF the Annapolis institution are
picked young Americans.
Ever since the formation Of tho Triple Alli-
ance the Italian Government has been striving
to create navy much superior to that OF any
OF the other mem bers Of the Alliance and not
far inferior to that OF France In tho Msiiter-
rauean. The amount OF money spent upon 1t
has been greater than the Treasury could
afford. but perhaps the navy is worth it's price
to Italy.
We shall be pleased to see the Italian war
ships and the uniformed cadets.

Sad tidings come from Chicago, describ-
Ing though with insufficient details. tho forci-
BILE ousting OF Florida from the Horticultural
building In the Worlds Fair. The managers.

clare, that the Florida Com ami ssioners have
shown no disposition to maintain o creditable

Florida's space and divide 1t among other
States which are anxious to make q good dis
play. such a vigorous partition OF Floridas
space seems at this distance from the Fair to
be arbitrary. Great preparations were made

It does not seem to US desirable that the
lawful power Of our Aldermen to unite couples
in matrimony under q civil ceremony should
be abrogated We have never seen the evil
dence that any OF them. not certainly Alder
men FLYNN and BAUMERT. who oftenest perform
the marriage ceremony in the City Hail. abuse
the power intrusted to them. The directors
to the Aldermanic ceremonial say that mar
riaGe is q solemn rite requiring the services Of
a clergyman. but 1t must be remembered that
many people who enjoy the privilege Of mar
ryinG do not believe in religion. and refuse to
get married in church or by a clergyman.
1t is alleged that groom who recently went
to the City Hall to get married "Riegled" just
before the Alderman performed the ceremony
as prescribed: but that is not surprising in
cident, and both Of the parties to tho
wedding might have giggled. even in pres
ence OF q clergyman. before they were
united. Another groom had failed to get his
shoes blacked and vet another wore shirt
without q collar when he stood up before
Alderman BAuMERT to be married; but surely
these things do not constitute any lawful bar
to marriage. even when the ceremony is per-
formed by priest or rabbi in church or syna-
gogue. All the objections that have been
urged to marriage by Aldermen are inconse-
Quential.
We cannot believe that tho Aldermen will
themsel abrogate the marital powers con-
ferred upon them by law. and exercised by
them with excellent results. Those powers
are proper. useful. and necessary in q COM
munity like thatof this great cosmopolitan
city OF New York.

There are two ways Of looking at the
story from San Francisco. that a horde Of
Solomon Islands savages had attacked and
destroyed a British vessel while 1t was taking
in load OF native laborers for conveyance to
Queensland. The truth is that a good many
British Captains and ships. which do not differ
much from the slave traders Of other times.
have for years been engaged in the ilegiti-
mate business OF procuring from the chiefs OF
the Solomon groups ship loads OF dusky ma
tives for service in the Australian colony OF
Queensland. where they are to all intents and
purposes. slaves, bound for a term Of years or
for life. They are employed in the fields.
mines. and stock raising downs. and may
sometimes be paid for their labor. There
is good deal OF opposition to this system In
Queensland. but the colonial Government
permits It to exist There have been protests
against the labor traffic" of the Pacific. but
the British cruisers there are instructed not to
interfere with it The natives are sold by the
chiefs. or seized By force. or seduced by false
promises. just as were the natives Of western
Africa until the slave trade was prohibited. 1t
is shameful traffic. that ought not to be toler-
ated by England or by Queensland at this
period Of the worlds history.
According to the San Francisco despatch q
native chief told the Captain OF the British
labor ship" that he had recruits for 1t at a
point of the coast Of Malaysia: but. when the
vessel got there 1t was surrounded by canoes
filled with armed natives, who. after releasing
those Of their brethren held as captives. set
fire to 1t, and killed the crew. The British
will doubtless take vengeance upon these
natives, whom they call savages: but. never
tbelese. It is likely that the act OF the Chief of
Malaysia will be the means Of putting an end
to the semi slave traffic that has for years been
carried on between the Solomon Islands and
Queensland.
