OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES In rHENAvY

Admiral Meade's position deserves sym
pathy. His long ana brilliant career makes
k seem impossible that he would deliber-
Rtely attempt TO insult the administration.
Yet his refusal to answer Secretary Her
belts query concerning the New York
Tribune interview must be accepted as
evidence Of guilt. Possibly nl-health has
made him irr tia BILE, irrespons ible, for
surely the man who won distinction in
his country's service would have accorded
the respect TO his superior that he demanded
from suBordinates.
According TO the unwritlen code, neither
army nor naval officers should dabble
in politics. They are paid servants OF
the public, and tifeir fealty is TO country
and flag. and not 10 party or politician.
Nor have they right TO publish criticisms
OF the administration. 1t should make
no difference TO them what party is in
power or what policy is in force.
The weak place in our political system,
So far as the army and navy are concerned,
Is that the business departments of these
two branches OF the service are not CON
trolled 10y army aud navy officers instead
OF by Cabinet officials. Almost inYari-
ably politicians are selected TO take charge
OF the army and navy. who know as little
about the service as they do Of the golden
streets ofparadise. The result of this
ignorance is favoritism in appointments
aud promotions and dissatisfaction among
those who are slighted.
1t is currently reported that an army
officer OF high rank has recently been
superseded because OF an imaginary Of
fense during the Chicago strike, and it
may be possible that Admiral Meade's
foolish outbreak was the result OF a
similar overriding In any event he
deserves sympathy on account OF bis
former good service.

GOV Gov.o,FERRALL,soPPoRruNITY

GON u u bhhALL L-SOBGOhlONl u - II L Z.
Report comes by telegraph that Gov.
o'Ferrall laughs at the idea OF the Corbett
and Fitzsimmons fight across the river, and
ssys there will be no such exhibition as long
as he is governor. This information is
reassuriug, bat 1t would come with better
grace il the excellent chief executive Of
Virginia would make it apply to the prize
fights that take place almost every week
in Alexandria county, and also to other
species OF degrading lawlessness.
A fight between Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons is no worse from moral or legal
standpoint than slugging match be
tween two ordinary Niugs Both are for
money, both in violation of the law, and
both disgusting exhibitions OF brutality
II Gov. o'Ferrall really wants to stop prize
fighting in Virginia let him begin in
Alexandria county now, and not wait
for the grand flourish OF trumpets, which
an edict against the Corbett Fitzsimmons
fight would make necessary.
Theshighly moral Governor can also find
opportunity TO demonstrate his desire to
prevent degrading sports by casting his
Official eye on Jackson City and the out
law track. Through connivance with gam
biers and things the authorities OF Alexan-
dria county have made those places round
ups" for some of the toughest characters
in the country. 1t is worth a decent mans
life TO be caught alone in their vicinity
after 10 O'Clock at night.
Not many nights ago a prominent Off
cial OF Washington was driven to shelter
from gang of thieves into the tower
house at Long Bridge, and when he
finally left that place in q carriage to
return 10 this city be was beaten to in
sensibility and robbed, and in that con-
dition was carried to the Emergency
Hospital for treatment.
There ara many such instances that
make il necessary for Gov. oFerrall TO
command the authorities of Alexandria
county to enforce the laws, and be would
render a great service to the Washington
public by doing so.
The Corbett Fl tzsimmons fight would
bring crowd Of sports for temporary
soioum. The outlaw gang in Alexandria
county provide a permanent home for
gang OF thieves and robbers. Which is he
greater evil?

Some weave more joyous than the rest,
And sing throughout the fieeting days,
All following the Divine intent,
That helps them on their different ways.
Likewise to as will still be given,
The power TO do our Fathers will.
And though we weave with fingers
Remember, "Bene aut nlhil."
We must not say, us the work too
Nor count the steps worn feet must take,
Nor think Of the bitter taunts Of the
world,
That will cause the weary heart to ache.
Fabrics most rare are In darkness
wrought,
Lest light should fade the dainty thread,
So God sends shadows while we weave,
Yet the sunshine turks in clouds DER
head.
All day, all night, we will hear the jar,
or the loom, as we weave the warp OF
fate.
1t will thrill us with deep and solemn
sound,
AS the wheels go turning early and late.
Take up the threads Of kindness, love,
For a checkered warp this life will be,
When wheels and shuttles no longer fly,
And we pass to the school Of eternity.
