AMERICANS IN THE NAVY.

1t is admitted that the American navy Is
manned largely by aliens by birth, who
have not declared their purpose to be natu-
rallZed. The proportion of Americans is
growing smaller each year. Officers OF the
navy have suggested an increase In pay,
and some have urged that better opportu-
mites should be given enlis ed seamen to
become warrant officers. Neither of these
propositions reaches the seat of the trouble.
A man who is eligible TO the Presidency OF
the United States does not wish to embark
in a profession which refuses to open all
its high places to competition. The pro-
teges of Congressmen who graduate from
the Annapolis Academy have enough ad
vantage over enlisted men without absO-
lutely closing the doors of promotion TO the
latter. In a recent number of the United
Service magazine there was an article by
Engineer +. NJ. Bennett, recommending the
opening of the navy TO apprentices of the
school ships and all American seamen on
equal terms with Annapolis graduates. 1t
is a singular fact that the great republic
is the only important naval power that
bars the way TO the highest rank of the
service to enlisted seamen. The prizes
should be placed within the possible reach
of all, though but here and there a man
would rise from the ranks to the post of
rear-admiral or even captain of ship.

THE CHINESE TREATY.

It Is hardly worth while to waste time
in amending the Chinese treaty. There
ale two in operation, which cover all the
questions likely to arise between the two
countries. The only issue Of Importance
is that of immigration. China is fighting
to restore the right to send her surplus
population here. and we are fighting 10
keep them out. No one in this country
proposes to i'll treat Chinese who are here
We need no treaty to secure such as are
lawfully in this country good treatment.
Our courts are open to them, as 10 others,
and. beyond a natural disposition to dis
credit Chinese testimony. they fare as well
as people of other nationalities. The op-
position to the treaty in the East arises
from the condition of the labor market.
When American citizens are unable to
find work the importation of aliens whom
We do not admit to citizenship is an Insult
to-labor. The time to let down the bars
which have. in a measure. stayed the for
eign tide, is inopportune. The circum-
stance that one Pacific Coast Senator has
gone over to the Chinese does not count in
favor of the treaty, since the East is now
taking up the fight On its own account.
Up to The present time Eastern support of
anti-Chinese legislation has been in defer
ence to the Pacific Coast. Certain broad
minded Eastern men have said that the
people of the Pacific Coast ought to know
what was good for them. and have voted
to that effect Now. Eastern men are
convinced by their own experience that
the Pacific Coast was right.

THE COMING YACHT RACE.

In few weeks more the world will be
all agog over the preparations for the in
ternatioDal regatta of 1895. 1t promises to
be even a more exciting event than last
years race between the Vigilant and the
Valkyrie.
The race is expected to come off in Euro
pean waters. probably in the Mediterra-
mean, off Nice, or on the old racing course
at Cowes in the British Channel. OF the
yachts which are known the Vigilant ana
Valkyrie will probably compete, and with
them the Prince Of Wales Britannia and
a smart yacht owned by Baron Alfred
RothschId. But interest will chiefly GEN.
ter on the new boats. One of these, W whch
is being designed by the Herreshoffs for
James Gordon Bennett, is TO be named the
Prunelle. She is to be ninety-foot CEN
ter-boaId yacht, 10 be built of Tobin
bronze and to cost all told about $4,000.
70 beat her Captain McCamont of the
Cairns family is having yacht built in
England, also of bronze and Of the same
dimen sions. but cu;ter-shaped. II Captain
McCalmont should win the race ii is ex-
pected that he will issue a challenge TO the
New York Yacht Club for the America
cup.
The Nice regatta takes place In April of
next year. eleven months hence. The first
race at that regatta Is for sailing yachts of
over twenty tons belonging to any recog-
nzed club. The prize is $500, which
James Gordon Bennett has doubled. If
the crack yachts of the day compete it will
hardly be worth while for minor craft to
sail.
There appears tc be no end to tie con-
troversy between center-board and keel.
We do n ot seem to be bile TO convince the
English that ours is the better model, and
certainly the races of the past forty years
have not shaken our faith in il. To lands
men it would seem that one of tue two
must be the best. but sailors are not to he
converted. Each year. however, both
models are improved upon. When last
years races were sailed the builder Of the
winner offered 10 contract to build yacht
that would beat her; he was SO confident
in the progressive advance in the art of
marine architecture that he predicted he
would produce every year. for many years
to come, boat which would ontstrip bis
fastest boat of the year before. There
seems TO be nothing like finality In the
art, or hardly any part of a yacht which
cannot be improved. How minutely each
department is being studied may be in.

material for sails, consisting Of a COM

REED MAKES A POINT.

Ex-Speaker Reed does not object TO the
four hundred amendments in the Wilson
bill, but thinks that the Senate might
have been more coBsiderate of Wilson s
feelings. AS Mr.. Reed puts 1t. the Senate
virtually says that the House bill is right
EXCEPT on four or five hundred points.
Meantime the Democracy is wondering
whether the House bill or the Senate bill
is the closest approach to sm0n-pure
Democracy. Bills so different in charac-
ter cannot both be Democratic In view
of the fact that the Chicago platform de-
clared protection unconstitutional, the
Senate has taken some liberty with the
platform by amending the Wilson bill so
as to make it more protective than Wilson
made Ii,

THE SOURCE OF POWER.

The Republican State Committee did
not submit the selection of Senatorial can
didateS TO the several counties TO be de-
termined Dy the votes of delegates in the
State convention, but the fact does not
prevent the counties from taking The work
into their own hands. County delegates
60 the State convention may be chosen on
this issue Of course in a canvass where
there may be several aspirants cast-iTon
pledge to vote for the first choice of
county should not be exaeted of delegates.
But they may come to the convention so
instructed as to prevent the nomination
of a notoriously unfit candidate for the
Senate. The InyO Register in an able
editorial advocating nominations by the
convention says:
Let each convention nominate candidates for
the senatorsbip. and then the people of the
Stale. by their vote on legislators can choose
between the men so named. A convention OF
representative men, composed of several times
as many persons as are chosen 10 the Legisa-
ture, is as competent-and possibly more So
10 choose Senatorial candidate acceptable to
the whole people than is Legislature in which
the sack may cut heavy figure.
The Republican convention will be the
cesstv of placing before the people the
equal in respect to character and ability of
any aspirant the Democrats may nominate
If the Republican convention should
nominate Dotoriously unfit candidate,
or should decline to nominate one at ali,
the Democrats may come into the field a
few weeks later with a candidate whom
the independent voters would accept in
preference to the possibilities of Rerubl-
lican success. If the Republican conven-
ton does not nominate a Senator, the
work of selection, in the event of Repub-
can success, would be left to the Legisla-
ture which will assem- bic in January. Do
the people of this State want the scene of
the recent Senatorial election in this State
to be repeated? It should be remembered
that nearly one-third of the popular vote
of this State is not strongly attached to
any party. 1t is Republican, Democratic
or POpulist, as each rarty commends H.
self to the judgment of independent vo-
ters. In a large proportion of the coun-
ties in the State the parties are nearly of
an even strength. A popular nomination
against an unpopular one may turn the
scale. Can the Republicans feel secure of
carrying The Legislature with The possi-
bility held up to the voters that if the Re-
publcans succeed the worst element in the
party will name the next United States
Senator?
