There are good many alleged "Ameri-
canisms" which prove on investigation
to be of unpucst.oncd English origin. "A
recently returned traveller says that In
the part Of New England where lie was
born and reared the remains Of a boiled
dinner when hashcd and served the
next day bear the euphonious name of
"bubblc and squeak" and that he has
been many times rcproachcd for using
a coarse "Amcricanism" In so speaking
Of 1t. He had. however, he continues,
the fortune while in London to lunch
one day ut the Liberal Union Club ana
found on the bill of fare his old New
England acquaintance with the famil.
lar name printed at full length. II
proved on investigation to be the same
confcction as that he remembered In
New England; and the steward assured
him 1t was well known English dish
which he had never heard called by
any other name.

At time when Great Britain and
this country are making every effort
to secure greater speed In their naval
and merchant marine It sounds strange
to learn that In France they are seri.
Ously proposing to put an end to ocean
racing. That part OF the international
regulations Of 1883 limiting the speed
of vessels has always been a dead let
ter owing to tho lack Of penalties for
Its violation. The new bill now being
prepared under direction OF the French
Admiralty provides heavy penalties for
any excess of speed above the limit,
even for the shortest period. Such leg.
islatlOn ought to be futile, as 1t Ger.
tainly Ia unwise. There Is NO special
danger In a twenty.kn0t speed, which
Is proposed as the limit, and no rea.
son except the fascination Of round
numbers In making that the limit, rath-
er than nineteen or eighteen knots.
For the present the limit OF speed In
passenger steamers seems to have been
reached In the Lucania and the Cam.
pania. The problem Is to determine
whether the Increased cost OF such
speed does not render It undesirab BILE,
and this IL a question which can safely
be left to the steamship companies to
settle. They IRE not taking any un.
necessary risks with vessels worth
millions of dollars and involving the
safety of thousands Of lives And they
probably know their business better
than the French Admiralty does.

An Invention as important as the air

does not assure absolute immunity
from trolley accidents 1t reduces the
margin to Il low degree. The difficulty
In managing trolley cars heretofore has
lain In the impOssibility of the driver

trophe. There was nothing to rely upon

BADENOCH AND SIMPLY.

Once again the old, old story of the
Interference OF the political wire puller
with the affairs OF the administration
OF municipal office IL revived In the case
Of Chief Badenoch and the police de-
partment.
Mr.. BadenOch Is too big and sturdy
citizen to allow himself to be dictated
to, or the department of which he Is the
head run by few irresponsible out
slders.
Mr.. Badenoch Is no party to the fac
tional strife and luarrels by which the
party Of which he Is such an Old-tlme
and honored member Is being split and
destroyed, and he therefore cannot af-
ford and will not allow himself TO be
used by one wing or the other of the
local Republican organization in the ap-
preaching primaries.
II Is ON this account that the chief Of
police Is rumored to have threatened
resignation. We say, Well done. Chief
Badenoch. We have no desire TO see
you involved In a quarrel, but we feel
assured that, being once In II, you will
so bear yourself that your opponent will
know he had fight ON his hands. II
rumor speaks Alright. the attempted in
reference with the chief amounted to
an effort to force him to boost to the
front a man who has been time and
again discredited as a police officer,
who has proved himself hoodoo as a
politician and who has been for years

the heaviest load that the hardy shout
ders of George Il. Swift have had to
carry.
We refer to the unsavory Shippy. His
name recalls many disagrccable men,

That genial gentleman. Hampstead
washburnc. when Mayor of this city.
unassuming and gentle as he was. was
forced to make Shippy feel the iron
hand of authority in way and for rea-
sons that make part Of the unwritten
history Of the municipality. A narrow
minded fellow he stands as the repre-
sentative of the un-Americanism Of the
lower strata of the Republicanism Of
Chicago.
Shippy. so 1t Is claimed. can deliver
a gooily section of the deputy. or a. T..
A.. vote of this city. He IL said also
To have proven himself an adept in
handling the shady affairs of po-
litical contest
He has keen appreciation of what.
under certain circumstances. should be
done or left undvDe. He IL said to be u
man who can run the law-violating end
of the groggery-kccping section Of the
| community "to the queens taste" and
men do say that not even Dan Duffy
himself could equal Shippy In the line
vt bulldozing ticket through at Il pri-
mary. or soothing the feelings of pro-
prietor of green cloth amusemcnts. In
other words. Shlppy Is a handy man.
and few Of the politicians want to
put him into active service In the line
In which he has proven himself an
adept.
II so happens. however. that the tax
payers of Chicago are payin;: Mr. ship.

duties us police officer. The citizens
and taxpayers of Chicago will stand

task might appear. and In his further
effort to keep the hands Of ward pOllti-
clans out of the affairs of his depart.

prices Of iron ana Its products since the
close Of last year. Bessemer pig has

"A number Of persons on duty In the
meteorological service of the signal
corps have pctltioncd the President for
lenlency to Private Thomas Gill, who
some time ago knocked down his ST.
perior officer, Lieut.. william Il. Birk.
heimer. OF the Third Artillery, ana was
sentenced therefor to four years I'm
prisOnmcnt In the pcnitentiary. The
petitioners set forth that Lieut.. Birk.
helmer Is an Overbcaring. tyrannical,
ungcntlemanly officer. who has con.
stantly sought TO impcacl the honor
and standing of his associates, and has
made life burdensome TO them by his
many despotic and brutal acts. II
the facts set forth are correct there Is
good reason for the President not only
to Interfere and mitigate the sentence
of the private. who had the manlincss
to resent lila brutal treatment, but also
to rcprimand the martinez who was
guilty of 1t. In civil life such an In.
fraction Of discipline would have met
with light fine or brief Imprisonment.

upon man who only struck his super.

Cholera Is now at Hawaii and other

there the mild California winters will
be no bar to Its progress. Cholera has

vigilance has been exercised there. For
the opposite reason our principal West.

that cholera would come In Mt that

therefore. that precautions should be
taken In time. There Ii infinitely more

would be at New York were cholera ap-

fight has been made at the latter port
many times and usually with success,
and the authorities are always ready

October In the same year. On Dcccm-
Der % christmas Day., 1875. mass was
said In the class room, aud mass has
been said In that room every Sunday
since.
In the meantime. through the indie
fatlgable efforts of the pastor and his
assistants. the affairs OF the parish have
prospered. and the great growth In nu

There Is enough In the recent reports
from the scene Of the Cuban revolution
to warrant the belief that the United
States may yet be summoned to play an
important part In the future Of the Isl.
aud. Assuming that the reports as to
the situation there are even partly true.
It IL evident that Cuba II nearer the cs.
tabllshment Of her independence than
ever before. Should she succeed II
would he by no means strange II her
leaders. regarding protcctoratc rs the
most desirable form under which to
administer the affairs Of the island
were to appeal to the United States or
Mexico to assume charge. The cO!Orcd
Inhabitants of Cuba number about 30
per cent. of the entire population. and,
as u rule. these people are poor and IL.
norant. Slavery has been abolished
and education was made compulsory
In 1880. but the time has been too short
to permit Of any real Improvement In
the condition Of this part Of the Cuban
population. What to do with these In.
habitants Is n pcrplexing question with
the insurgents. and 1t Is probable that
they would rather remain as Il Deepen.
dcncy OH some other government than
assume the difficulties Of administra.
ton with 40 large portion Of the popu.
latiOn united to attempt self.gOvern-
mcnt. And were the Cuban leaders to
decide that the burden IL too heavy
they would be far more likely to appeal
to. the United States than to Mexico.
While the Cubans and MeXlcans speak
the same language the two peoples are
not bound together by 80 many ties rs
exist between this country anu Cuba
Most OF Cuba's trade II with us, and
there are comparatively few products
which 1t can exchange with Mexico. 1t
IL yet too early to assume that tho To.
suit will DO n victory for the insur-
gents. But vague as the reports are 1t
IL evident that up to date the revOlu'
| tionIsts have the best of the struggle.
In view Of their spunky resistance and
the reported weak financial condition
of Spain 1t would not DO surprising II
the question Of Cuban protectoratc
were to be forced upon the attention OF
the next Congress.

FOOLISH ABUSE OF HOPKINS.

Some of our morning contemporaries

To this extent the sympathy Of John

at the time knew 1t.
