than we have seen in South Carolina during
the past few days The revolutionary measure
for the transfer Of tho liquor trade to the
State has been applied without tho slightest

thousands Of business men. and even ruin to
many OF them. The wholesale dealers and
the retail dealers all over tho State closed UP

In force. A good many Of them left the State,
and others, after getting rid OF their intoxi-
eating stock. kept open their places for tho

Garded It not the less: and It must not be for

The Value of Battle Ships.

1t is gratifying to observe that Secretary
HERBERT not only expresses the opin-
ion that the Victoria disaster in no way
lessons the Importance Of f1rst-class bat
tie ships in modern navy. but holds
that tho United States should pos
sess twelve such ships. This was also
the view he took in report made by
him as Chairman OF tho House Naval
Committee. We now have under construc-
ton the Indiana, the Massachusetts,. the
Oregon, and tho Iowa, the first three Of
TO- 200 tons and the last of about ll.2oO We
may accordingly expect, as part of Mr.. HER
BERT's programme. eight additional heavily
armed and armored ships. at least one to
DO added at each session Of Congress.
The notion that because u ship like the
Victoria may be destroyed by the blow
Of torpedo or ram. it Is unwise to put
80 much money into tho construction OF
single vessel. is wholly illogical Apart
from the fact now established thats the
recent disaster was entirely due to
bunder In maneuvre, We are not to for
get that the battle ship has guns with
which to repel an adversary seeking
to run her down. and also that in
an enemy's presence che Is always ON
the watch against danger. Besides. the
bat tie ship herself Is as able to ram as a YES
sci specially constructed for the purpose.
1t was d battle ship heavier than the In
diana that crashed fatally into the Victoria.
The real point Is not the value of the
ram but the distinctive use of the bat
tie ship. A ram itself may be sunk by a
torpedo or destroyed by guns; yet that
possibility Is not an argument against
constructing rams. The most effective float
ing coast defenders that this country has
In prospect to-day are our four tirst-class
battle ships; and the reason Is to be found
in the unparalleled combination OF arma-
ment and armor on three Of them and the
great all-around efficiency OF the fourth.
Tho danger to our coast Notifications is
not from an enemy's rams. but from his
battle ships: and our big ships con meet
and fight the latter on equal terms.
In addition. they can go out and attack
tho naval base from which an enemy Is
operating. For example. they Gun go to
Bermuda. or to Halifax. and lombard the
defences there. A ram may attack ship.

designed to protect 1t from torpedo craft.
how could 1t possibly perform the varied
work required OF battle ship3
Secretary TRACY has put In q strong light
the advantage of building tlrst-class ship
able to fight anything afioat instead of ex-
pending two-thirds as much money on
second-class vessel. which could be rlddled
and sunk by any one OF O score OF more
heavily armed and armored adversaries.
For this reason the Texas, welcome
though she will be to our new navy. will
never be duplicated. now that We build
Indians and Iowas. Secretary HERBEHr
has shown tho same good Judgment in
rejecting the superficial view that merely
because the destruction OF Victoria or
Nile involves great loss. it is wiser to
divide the money which such vessel costs
and to build two ships with IT. He will OPP

Arc You a ProhibItionistY

The platform adopted by the Ohio Prohi-
bitionists last week was OF the true mosaic
or crazy-Quilt pattern So dear to the hearts
Of the Drys. 1t followed pretty closely the
national Prohibition platform OF last year;
but as the words of that eminent produce
ton may not be remembered by all Prohi-
bltionists. and as even the Prohibidonists
OF most accurate memory can hardly be ex :
pected to know how many principles they
are required to believe In. syllabus for
handy use may be welcome to them. Here
they haveit:
Section /. The liquor traffic must and
shali be destroyed. No compromise with
local option. taxation. license. or public con-
troll. This Is said to DO the dominant
issue;" and why do the Prohibitionists ell
cumber themselves with 80 many others
Section 2. Woman suffrage. 1t may DO
natural that woman suffrage should be re-
garded by the Prohibtionists as likely to
help them. Yet 1t Is hard to see why women
voters would not be divided in opinion US to
the regulation or suppression OF the liquor
traffic. Just as mon voters are. The major
ity OF tho latter care nothing as yet about
woman suffrage. because the majority OF
women do not; and so no present accessions
to tho Drys can DO expected from their be-
lief In thai suffrage. There appears 10 be
no necessary connection between liquor pro-
hibitjon and woman suffrage. A man may

What, tho Fair Ophelia?

The Boston journal has found or con-
structed whimsical. amusing story OF a
solemn consultation Of certain Democratic
politicians OF Massachusetts. at which 1t
was resolved that the Hon. GEORGE FRED
WILLIAMS OF Dedham should be the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor this year.
Among the counsellors said to have arrived
at this singular conclusion ale his Excel
lency Governor RUSSELL. the Hon. NATHAN
MATTHEWS. Jr. Mayor of Boston: the
Hon. JEREMIAH w. CovENEY. Postmas-
ter OF Boston. and the immortal WILL
LIAMs himself. If there was such consul
tation. and Mr.. WILLIAMS was there.
1t would be natural enough for him to
propose himself as a candidate for Governor.
and to support the proposal with his usual
unanimity. for Mr.. WILLIAMS Is always
unanimous In his own support. He Is the
original WILLIAMS man. and being Of an
impulsive and enthusiastic temperament.
he never hesitates about proclaiming him
self. He knows that he has good thing.
and no advertlses 1t SO that other people
may know it and join him in admiring it,.
In spite OF this generous characteristic. We
arc unable to believe that Mr.. WILLIAMS
will be nominated for Governor by tho
Massachusetts Democrats this year. or that
any distinguished Democratic leaders are
anxious to bestow that honor upon him.
There arc more reasons for incredulity than
years in Mr.. WILLIAMS age. aud We need
