The Cramps Anxious to Get the Ves-
sci OF Their Hands.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Mr. Cramp
and Mr. Nixon. his constructor, had an in
terview with Secretary Herbert to-day rel
ative to the final trial and acceptance or
the battleship Indiana. The constructors
have reported the vessel ready for trial,
and are anxious TO have her accepted, so
that they may obtain their money. The in
spection board however, Is strongly op-
posed to making the trial at this time,
holding that the vessel is so incomplete
that the test would not be conclusive. The
principal trouble is with the armor. but
there are other things to be supplied be-
fore the vessel can be regarded as COM
plete. The contractors ask that they be
permitted TO place lead ballast aboard TO
compensate for the missing armor, but the
inspection board holds that the ballast cam
not be so placed as TO represent the armor

Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst, who is con-
Quoting the crusade against Tammany and
corruption IN New York believes in fight
ing for principles and for the right, but he
also believes in men. I'VE stand for that
which is right" he said. in addressing the
Vigilance League, the other day; that is
the grandest enginery which any movement
can be based on. We cannot afford, in
view Of the coming election, which will be
crucial to satisfy ourselves with any com
promise candidates The strength of our
game and the promise of our future lie in
the ideal character of our principles and
the superb and unquestioned character of
the candidates we put forward The only
way to arouse enthusiasm like that which
smashed the ring in Brooklyn is to present
for our suffrages men whom we can hon
estly admire Principles don't set men afire.
Men can only arouse that enthusiasm. We
are going TO win, l believe, If there are put
forward men big enough. broad enough and
clean enough to command the respect and
arouse the enthusiasm of the self-respect-
ing elements of our community This is
not only sound sense for the anti-Tammany-
ties, but for the representatives of good
government everywhere. 1t fits the Repub-
licans in Indiana. They have a righteous
cause TO fight for. Let them choose their
candidates wisely. They cannot go far
astray among the good men offered. but,
as Mr.. Parkhurst truly says, men arouse
enthusiasm. andSwe should have the best.

A correspondent desires to be officially
informed as to whether or not the Art
Association is a private organization, and,
If it Is, what the rights Of the public will
be should 1t respond to the request to con-
tribute TO the establishment of q perma-
nent art museum. The Journal has had no
communication with any member of the
association, and, therefore, cannot speak
officially, but has every reason 10 think
that, as heretofore stated, it is a private
concern. When the public has contributed
any money to it's support, or individuals
outside Of the membership have made sub
scriptions for the general benefit, then the
public will have acquired rights and it will
be time enough TO make demands upon the
organization and to dictate as to its man
agement. Meanwhile. what does the public
want with the association while the Even
ing Coupon simply exists in order to fur
nish it with the very cheapest of high art?
