NAVY PERSONNEL CHANGES.

The commission Of the two Houses of Con-
gress at present investigating the needs of the
personnel Of the navy, after weeks of compar-
ative inactivity, has at last made good progress
on bill which, If enacted, will in great meas
ure relieve existing stagnation in the marine
branch Of the government OF the United
States.
The subcommittee appointed short time
ago to report a measure with this object in
view has submitted the result OF its labor to
the commission, and this body has since
been discussing it. 1t will take up the last
feature of the bill to-morrow-that relating
to the enlisted men-and, it is expected, will
report to the Naval Committees by the end of
the present week, which will in turn report
to their respective Houses.
The bill will be welcomed by every one who
Is at all interested in the navy. Under its
provisions the youngsters Of the service will
be enabled to get command rank before
reaching the retiring age, as is the present
unfortunate condition; other reforms are
made in the measure which will benefit the
service generally, and Congress should not
delay in disposing OF such important legis-
lation.

CHOOSE YOUR sERYANTs.

Sincerity is qualification not always found
in public men, although there is no calling
that demands more honesty and truthfulness
than the profession of public servants. The
possession of public Office is an honor when
obtained through creditable methods, but
when men reach public service through mis-
representation and fraud, they not only dis
honor their position, but become conspicuous
examples of distrust and deception.
When voters are deceived in their choice OF
public men no excuse can be offered for their
mistake. No man should be elected whose
life is not known and respected. Men OF
standing and character never betray a trust
nor prove faithless in public office.
1t is the scalawag in private life who proves
the rascal in public service. He generally
obtains office by deception, and keeps up his
record by forfeiting most of his pledges and
sacrificing public interest to his own selfish
gain. There would be fewer rascals in office
il voters would scrutinize the lives OF candi-
dates and reject all who have not been pure
and clean. A tree is known by its fruit, and
mems private characters are reflected by their
public deeds

CAUSED BY BAD LAWS.

General RandalPs Explanation Of the
Causes of Enforced Indleness.
Typographical Temple was about two-thirds
filled yesterday afternoon with people who
went to listen to "Generar J. H. Randall.
Congressman H. A. Coffeen opened the
meeting with a few remarks. in the course of
which he stated he had for many years known
General Randall as an able writer and
speaker in behalf OF the wealth producers and
the unfortunate and idle, and he introduced
him as a sincere, practical patriot, who had
earned the title of General by organizing
his army and arousing public sentiment
that fed and sustained it so as to enable him
to get from Chicago to this city.
"Gen." Randall said: 1.-The condition Of
the industrial classes for some months past
and at present has never been paralleled in
our country. To feed 80 or 500 idle men who
are hunting a job and out Uf money in as
many different communities does not excite
any serious attention, but the combination Of
these same men into groups Of so to
1000 and these into commonweal and
industrial armies, and the spectacle Of towns
and cities from twelve to thirty miles apart.
over distance OF 1000 miles, voluntarily and
from humane considerations feeding them
and encouraging them on their way to the
seat Of government, is an object lesson that Is
sure to have some effect toward checking the
growth Of the army Of men now suffering
from enforced idleness.
'The highest principle know is to work
The Washington times., 1894-07-23

to prevent human suffering. Bad statesman
ship, bad laws, wicked, selfish business man
agement, has been increasing the army Of
men suffering from lack OF employment every
year for twenty years past. When the great
managers OF Industries In other governments
have failed to keep the people employed. it
has more than once become necessary !or
public work to be provided for the safety Of
government and the peace OF society.
"The leaders OF the Commonweal Army
have been called wicked and revolutionary
disturbers OF the peace. The membership Of
this army Is composed almost entirely Of men
in enforced idleness, who joined because they
were suffering from hunger.
''As one of the leaders have simply sought
to arouse sentiment and awaken the Amer
lean conscience In order that these men
should be fed, and at the same time
to force conviction upon the public
mind that there Is a way to uso the
human energy now being wasted In
idleness. at least to the extent OF enabling it
to produce what 1t must consume. and thus
free the humane and poor. as well as the tax
payers, now burdened with the expense Of
feeding the army OF the idle.''
Gen" Randall will speak again at the
same place next Sunday at 8 p. M, and will
present his remedy for the present depressed
business and enforced idleness.,

RECENT POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Hon. Robert Lincoln declares that he knows
nothing OF an organized effort to boom him
for the Presidency.
1t is claimed that Hon. T. G. Platt looks
with favor upon the gubernatorial candidacy
of Hon. Levi P. Morton.
There is talk Of ex-Secretary Stephen B. FL
kins as Chairman Wilson's opponent in the
approaching Congressional race.
Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Diggs are keeping up
their wordy war and the Kansas Populists are
considerably wrought up over the contro-
versy.
Mayor Gilroy is credited with a shrewd
piece Of politics in his action dividing the Re-
publican representation ON the NewYork board
between the warning Republican factions.
H. is alleged that the Chicago Democratic
managers decided 1t would be unwise to re-
nominate Congressman Durborow on &C.
count OF his views concerning tho striking
railway employees.
Pennoyer, tho blackguard governor OF Ore
Ron, blames all our recent industrial trouble
on the goldbugs. As Pennoyer is soon to
tumble out OF the Office which he disgraces, il
may not be out of place to speak Of him as a
tumblebug.

letter bearing date July 2; whether It was
II publicity at the time and in the manner
chosen by him: whether Senators are mad as
hornets, or Representatives half tickled to
death-all these things may furnish mo-
ment's diversion. but they arc absolutely OF
no consequence compared with tho honor
and good faith of the Democratic party. 1t
Is this party to whom the people look for the
fulnllment of distinct and definite pledges
and promises OF such a character that
upon the redemption OF them hinges in all
probability the future OF the party.
1t sounds all very beautiful for one states
man to say to another set Of statesmen
.'stand flrm." and for another statesman to
give notice to some other set Of statesmen
that "we will fight it out on this line." 1t
would be still more beautiful II all these
heroic utterances were indicative Of unity
and harmony OF purpose, and II the standing
firm and fighting it out on that line were d.
rected against q common enemy, instead Of
giving evidence Of internicine party STRIFE
But just now defamation is at discount.
The people have been surfeited with It ad
nauseam. They want action; prompt, vieor-
Gus, decisive action and in the right direc-
ton. They will not hold President, or Sem
ator, or Representative responsible for failure
where success was within easy grasp. 1t
matters not to them whether Smith or Brown
or Jones is angry or placated.
To-day the Democratic party is on trial be-
fore the people of the United States, not ten
tatively as to what It can or may do, but
positively as to what it must do because Of its
principles and its pledges. and woe to them
that are stumbling blocks in its way

Judge Bakers Mistake.

In hearing case at Indianapolis Judge Baker,
of the Federal court, asserted from the bench
that every strike TO be successful must involve
violence, intimidation, and wrong. His exact
words we're:
"Eyery one that has any sense at all knows
that strike would not amount to anything un-
less they follow 1t out by violence, They know
that II they would do what they have right TO
do, decently and orderly go about their business
and leave the employees alone, a strike would
not amount to anything They know it would
absolutely fail"
Th;s statement is not true. History CONTRA
diets II. The great English mining strike, ono
Of the greatest in the world, was conducted to
success without violence, and that was but one
of many examples
IL is a grievous pity that Judge on the bench
should talk with so loose disregard Of facts
even upon Indifferent subjects. IL is greatly
more than a pity that judge should so deliver
himself upon n matter likely at any moment TO
come before him in any one Of q hundred shapes
for judicial determination
Such utterances diseredit him. They cast
doubt upon his Intelligence. They create sus-
picion as TO his impartiality where judicial calm
and fairness are most imperatively needed In
order that the rulings of courts may be respected
They suggest either ignorance Of the facts OF re.
cent history or q reckless disregard Of them, and
either state Of mind is lamentable in a judge

THE REAL ISSUE.

An immense amount Of printers and other
ink is being spilled just now and wasted in the
discussion Of the attitude of President Cleve-
land to the Senate. and of the Senate to the
House OF Representatives, and then back
again over the whole route. The only atti-
tude which appears to be almost entirely
overlooked is that in which the Democratic
party as a whole finds itself to that great
majority Of the people Of the United States
which in 1892 commissioned it at the ballot
box to take in its hands the reins of govern
ment and, incidentally and chiefly, to reform
the system Of tariff taxation.

CORRIDOR AND CURB.

Senator Joe Hawley is q most enthusiastic
misses meeting and is always ready for a
reminiscent speech or jolly wartime song.
'It is quite a sight," said prominent Loyal
Legion man last night at Wizards hotel, ITO
see General Hawley pull out his leather spec
tacle case, and adjust his old-fashioned spec
tacles on his nose, and opening the Legion
song book line out the words Of Marching
Through Georgia. or John Browns Body
Lies Mouldering in the Grave, using the in
dex finger Of his right hand as baton, and

them, in these rousing songs Of 81 and IS.
''At meeting Of the Ohio Commandery.
Loyal Legion, held some years ago at the
Burnet house in Cincinnati, Gen. Hawley was
the distinguished guest. Late Presidnt r. B.
Hayes was alive then and presided at the
meeting. Among the other speakers were
Gen. Lew Wallace, Gen. Schofed, and Gen.
Sherman, but Hawley reached the hearts Of
all by his genial comradeship, and was the
fayorite of the evening. About 8 o'clock in
the morning, after the banquet and speeches
had been concluded, the assembly escorted
Gen. Hawley to that part OF the hostelry
where cocktails. mint iuleps, and deceptive
Loyal Legion punch were dispensed, taking
the orchestra with them. Gen. Hawley was
crowned with dripping wreath Of smilax
and then bodily lifted upon lofty table by
his comrades. He entertained the boys for
over an hour with songs, in his clear, ringing
voice, and no one there will ever forget how
handsome he looked, despite the surround
ings. One of the chorus and most interested
auditors was Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes, who
enjoyed the good time as much as any one,
but clung with temperance tenacity to his
apollinaris water throughout the evening""
Last week. two prominent statesmen, ono
a Senator. the other a Congressman. decided
to have an od-fashioned supper of steak and
onions, and with this in view quietly repaired
to a restaurant where they satisfied their de-
sires. Later they went to the theater where
they met a friend in the foyer. and stopped to
chat for a few moments. 1t wasn't long be-
fore the two saw that something was wrong
with their friend. He shifted the air with a
disgusted look, and presently remarked that
there must be some very uncultured people in
the audience who had eaten onions, and pro-
posed that the party move to the other side
of the house.
The Senator kicked the shin of the Con-
gresham and they both smiled and followed
their friend.
The irrepressible onions still tainted the
air despite the electric fans. By this time
their friend had lost all control Of his nerves
and his temper. The war clouds gathered on
his brow and he looked threatening. As the
odor Of the onions became intense the storm
broke and he burst forth with, "Why. every
id person in the house has been eating
onions!" and he picked up his hat and took
haSty leave.

TO RESTRICT CORPORATE INFLUENCE.

Senator Allen proposes to introduce bill
ator's own language:
First A law prohibiting speculati6ns by Sem
ators and Representatives in Congress in any
class Of speculative stocks whose value may be
Immediately affected by national legislation.
Whenever Senator or Representative is elected
and takes his he thereby, at least implicitly.
agrees with the public that so long as he holds
his once he will abstain from the transaction of
any private business that may conflict with the
faithful discharge of his public duty. / have
introduced bill In the Senate making such
speculation . cause for expulsion from Con-
gress"
The bill should also stipulate that no Senator
or Representative shall be eligible to a seat in
Congress so long as he is retained as attorney
for any corporation or individual connected
with corporation that does business with
the public. Nor should he be permitted to
accept passes, franking books, or any special
favor from any corporation or individual con-
nected with q corporation that acts as
public carrier.
Congress has too many corporation lawyers
for the good of the public, and no measure
comes before that body that proposes to pro-
mote the interests OF a corporation without
finding many earnest and jealous defenders.
Railroads ana trusts find it an economical
way to prevent Objectionable legislation by
retaining prominent attorney Congressman
as advisory counsel. and by issuing annual
passes or granting other favors to Congress-
men generally. 1t is cheaper than to send a
lobby to Congress to influence legislation
directly and it has become general practice.
But what Of the public who are always suffer-
ers from this pernicious method of controll-
ing?
Senator Allen fs right in his effort to pre-
vent Senators and Representatives from deal
ing In stock, that are liable to be influenced
by congressional legislation, and he should
60 further and amend his bill so as to prohibit
the bribing Of Senators and Representatives
In the manner indicated.
The harmful results of this method OF IN
fuencing legislation is felt in every COM
munity. but in none is it more apparent than
here in Washington, where railroads occupy
public grounds, use streets for tracks at will,
defy and ignore public protest and act gen.
orally as II they owned the city. But this is
the scat Of national legislation and perhaps
that accounts for their independence.
