TRUE TO PRINCIPLE.

The G l o b e is cheered to watch
the readiness with which the peo-
pie respond to the appeal to support
Democratic principles. The mists
and fogs are rolling away. 1t was
no miracle that happened in 1892
The people then recorded their de-
liberate judgment. They have not
changed it since. In just as far as
the Democratic party is true to the
trust then confided to it, refuses to
go wandering after false gods, and
holds by its historic faith, in just
so far can it expect to receive the
enthusiastic support and the over
whelming vindication which were
then it's portion.
We are in receipt Of letters con-
stantiy which tell us how the masses
are encouraged. Hold fast by hon
est money and a progressive low
ering of the tariff, leading to free
trade, write the people, and the
people will stand by the Democratic
party. 1t is true. That is all that
the people ask; to stand by your
principles, with courage, with 10y
atty, with truth, and the result will
take care of itself We publish this
morning a letter which reviews,
with caustfc satire, the consequences
Of Republican legislation within the
last few years. We advise the voter
to look it over, and see what he
makes of the vaunted policy of Nc
Kinleyism as related to American in
dustry. 1t was robber tariff at
one end and robber appropriations
for undeserving benef1ciaries at the
other that caused US such manifold
disasters. 1t has been the hard task
of Democracy to repair these errors
and start the country once more
on the highway to prosperity.
The tide is with us now. All that
we need is to stand by the old col
ors. No new experiments, no depart
ure from Democratic principles. Low
taxes, sound money, and a tariff
producing only such revenue as will

LECTURED BY HERBERT.
The Secretary on the Duties of
Naval Officers.

WASHINGTON, July 3-Secretary
Herbert has acted on the findings of
the courtmartial held at Mare Island
navy yard in the case of Lieut.. w. w.
Buchanan, division officer. and Lieut..
j. G. Dorm. ordnance officer of the
Olympia, who were tried for culpable
negligence resulting in the accident to
a gun and causing the death of Gum
ner jackson. Secretary Herbert ap-
proved the acquittal of Buchanan. but
in the case of Dorm disapproved the
findings of the court-martial, which
also acquitted him. Both men, how
ever, have been relieved from arrest
and restored to duty, and there will
be no further proceedings In refus-
ing to approve the findings of the court
in the case of Lieut.. Dorm, Secretary
Herbert read quite a lecture to naval
officers. The accident was caused by
the failure of some one to fill the re-
coil cylinder with liquid. The secretary
says: 1T cannot be that on a United
States vessel of war SO plain a regula-
ton can be violated and no one to
blame. 1t would be implacticable to
prescribe in this (drilD book, or other
wise at the department, that each of
the several duties therein required to
be performed should be imposed upop
some particular person on board the
ship. The department cannot approve
a decision which JeemS to hold that in
a case like this an ordnance officer is
not responsible simply because the
regulations do not so declare in so
many words. Responsibility and au-
thority go together. An officer exer-
ciSeS control over and superintendent
of all who are beneath him. If duties
are required to be performed in his
department of the ship, it is for him to
perform or see that it is done. An
officer placed in charge of any depart
ment of a vessel is supposed to be
equal to all exigencies that may arise.
Within limits he must have liberty of
action, and duties like that which were
neglected in this case, he may often be
obliged to devoive, by order, upon one
or another; but it is no excuse to say
that he was very busy, that he had
many duties to perform, that he could
not have personally done a particular
thing without working in the night.
Lieut.. Dorm does not even show that he
directed any person to examine, and
fill this recoil cylinder before the firing.
He had notice the day before the pro-
posed target practice. He rested con-
fidently in the belief that this cylinder
had been. filled twenty-three days be-
fore by workmen. The drill book for
bade him to rest on any such belief
1t declares that an examination should
be made Immediately preceding target
practice. It is abundantly proven that
the accused was a faithful and jealous
officer, but fidelity and zeal in other di-
rections cannot excuse such culpable
negligence as had been exhibited in his
case"

criminately through the congression-
al districts, and may be found, with
some congressman frank attached,
lying among the rubbish in. the cor
ners of business offices, as often as
in the barn or seed house of the
farmer. They load down the United
States mails and contribute heavily
to the annual deficit of the postof-
flee department. The continuance of
the practice of their distribution has
been insisted upon, not in the inter-
est of agriculture, but in the in
terest of politics. For purposes of
experiment and scientific investiga-
ton, it is all right that the govern
ment should supply samples of grain
and other seeds. But the practice,
as it has existed up to this time,
is simply a perversion and an enor-
government. Secretary Morton de-
serves the highest praise for the
stubborn fight that he has made
against it, and for the saving that he
will accomplish by putting an end to
it.
These are some of the things that
Mr.. Morton has done. And the man
who has credit of over a million
and a quarter of dollars saved to the
country in a little over two years of
administrative work cannot be
howled down by partisan clamor
In the case of the chief of the wealth
er bureau just removed, there does
not seem to be the slightest room for
any accusation of partisanship, or of
an intention to use this department
for the benefit of spoilsmen. No
body shows a rougher side to the
professional Office seeker than Sec
retary Morton. He has made no
secret of his motives in this instance.
There is personal disagreement be-
tween him and the late chief which
makes it impossible for them to
work together harmoniously. The
name of his successor was we'll
known in advance, and he is a man
against whom no charge of ineffici-
ency or other unfitness can be
brought. The Republicans would
better let Mr.. Morton severely alone.
He has been doing great service to
the cause OF Democracy, which is the
cause of economical government and
administrative reform. If the oppo-
sition will keep up their attack on
MIN, they may yet push him forward
prominently as an available candi-
date for higher honors.

CHASTISED BY MORTON,
The Secretary Amuses Himself
With Ex-COngrassman Taylor.


With Ex-COngrsssman Taylor.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Secretary
Morton has written a caustic letter to
ex-Representative Taylor of Chicago,
a partner of ex-senator Farwen. Mr..
Taylor had written the secretary, Sc
verely criticising the regulations of
the departure of agriculture with ref
erence to the admission of Mexican
cattle. The secretary's letter reads in
part as follows:
Washington, D. c., July 1, 1885,
Hon. Abner Taylor, Velasco, Tex
Dear Sir: 1 am delighted with your
letter of June 26, which you have kind
ly forwarded me, after having pub
lished the same in several newspapers.
L am, however, surprised that a sue
cessful statesman, so distinguished for
modesty, SO baShful as to any appear
ance before the public, and a nature
so tinctured with the timidity of ad-
oleScence, should muster effrontery
sufficient to depict his superior knowl-
edge in the public press over his own
signature. The regulations of the de-
partment of agriculture for the current
year were instituted so as to secure
proper inspection of Mexican cattle
coming into the United States These
regulations guarded against the intro
duction with these cattle of contagious
diseases. Your letter, however, indi-
Gates that you have never read the reg
ulations, and that you are entirely un-
acquainted with the reason for the in
structions and their effect upon the cat
tie industry of this country"
The secretary quotes Mr.. Taylor as
saying: Not one pound of beef from
these Mexican cattle will ever be COR
sumed in this country" and 1.-The only
people benefited by this order are the
foreigners and the beef combine" He
then makes this comment: do you
tell the truth above?" Secretary Nor
ton then proceeds to say that canned
beef is on sale in nearly all retail
grocery stores in the cities of the
Union, and that it is largely sold in
the towns, villages and mining camps.

intelligent citizen like yourself can
be ignorant of these facts? How can
you assert that Mexican cattle, being
used only for canning, not one pound
of Mexican beef will ever be used in

LATTER-DAY PATRIOTISM.

The Fourth of July is a good time
for a man to take an inventory of
the quantity and quality of his pa
triotism. We have no quarrel with
noise or oratory. Let the cannon
boom, the fireworks crackie, the null
titudes shout themselves hoarse over
pictures of the greatness of our coun-
try and the liberties we have won
for ourselves and for the world. Let
us all be boys together. But let us
also remember that some of us are
men. And as the plauditS which
rent the air when the old bell of lib
erty sent forth it's glad tidings more
than a hundred years ago would
have been but as the outcry of
clowns if they had not been fol-
lowed by devotion and self-sacrifice,
so have we as great need to struggle
for the defense and preservation of
liberty as our forefathers had to shed
their blood to win it.
What kind of patriotism do we
need most, in this end of the CEN
tury where we stand? What is to be
the basis of resolve behind the glare
of the rockets and the din of many
each American citizen should frame
for himself today, and try to live
by until another Fourth of July
comes around. Fight to the death
the commercial idea in politics. Be-
lieve that you or any other man
who is willing to make money out of
the conduct of public affairs is as
guilty as he who accepts a bribe
to commit a murder. For a crime
against liberty is grosser than one
against the Individual. Resolve
that you will cast no vote ignorantly,
but study, as far as your resources
reach, both sides of every issue that
comes before the people. Determine
that no demand of party or
friendship shall induce you to
support a political policy which
your intelligence tells you is
wrong. Swear, above all things,
to vote for no man whose
record is not one of integrity and dis
interestedness. Then promise your
self that you will attend every cleo
ton, including the primaries, be-
q
July, and you may throw up your
hat and whoop it with the patriots.
A hundred years ago the gallant
American found his spirit rise high
est within him when he bade de-
fiance to foreign foe. Now we have
none such to fear. The indepen-
dence which we have yet to conquer
is an emancipation from ignorance,
from greed, from selfshness, from
the tradition that bids us do mean
thing for partisan advantage The
foes of the United States are they
of her own household. These alone
can prevent her from achieving her
destiny of inconceivable greatness
All depends on the faith and cour-
age of the people; and in that people,
upon whose characters the founda.
tions of our government are built
our belief is immutable and without
shadow of distrust 1t is the grand
est birthright that man ever had to
be citizen of the nation that fought
from infancy her way to liberty. TIC

this country?" How do you know"
the letter continues, ''that the only
persons benefited by the order admit
ting healthy Mexican cattle, under GER
tain conditions, are foreigners and the
beef combine?'
The United States department of
agriculture is informed by cattlemen
of the Southwest, apd by two reliable
agents who have personally investi-
gated the situation in Texas, that cat
tie are very scarce in a large part of
Texas, and that there was an abun-
dance of grass in these sections, which
could be utilized only by the importa~
ton of Mexican cattle.

FIREPROOF WOOD.
Making the Interior of Warships
Defy Flames.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-As the re-
suit of experiments running through
three months at the Boston navy yards,
conducted by Naval Constructor Hans
com, the construction bureau has at
last succeeded in finding a means OF
rendering the woodwork of the interior
of man-of-war fireproof. The sap of
the wood is extracted in vacuum in
large iron tanks and the pores of tho
wood ara then filled, under heavy pres
sure, by a chemical composition of
borax, boracic acid and muriate and
sulphate of ammonia Thus treated,
the wood may be subject to flame with
out taking fire.

COSTLY EXPERIMENTS,

The outrageous fashion in which
the money of the people is fooled
away in the construction of use
less vessels for experimental pur-
poses is shown by the submission of
plans for double-turreted battle
ships. These new designs, we are
told, have aroused an active inter-
est because they are novelties. Their
advocates hold that they would tend
to concentrate the discharge of the
ships guns, and give advantage in
heavy firing. Their opponents con-
tend that this advantage would be
slight, while the proposed method of
construction would probably make
the ships top-heavy and unsea-
worthy. There is much variety of
opinion raging on this point, and
whichever side gains the day will
go ahead and spend a few million
dollars to settle it's theory. -
We do not know any more
wanton waste of money than that
which is constantly going on
in the building of these great
men-of-war. The United States
has now a navy equal to every
probable want in time of peace.
There is no likelihood of war. unless
the existence Of these unnecessary
vessels should help to provoke one.
We are, moreover, without definite
knowledge yet as to the best type of
ship for offensive purposes. One
thing, however, is certain. Naval
construction in every country on the
globe has gone toward the extreme
of loading down the upper portion
OF ship, until the center of gravity
is raised so high as to create
danger of capsizing in a heavy sea.
These thousands of tons of steel
plate above the water line, and these
armored turretS with their heavy
guns, throw the hulk out of bal
ance. There is good reason to be-
Heve that more than one modern
ship of war has been lost through
this defect of construction. 1t is now
proposed to add another turret, and
to make the vessel that much more
unWieldly. The theory, although
contrary to recent experience, may
be all right, but we submit that it
is not worth couple of million dol
lars to demonstrate it's correctness
or incorrectness.
The truth is that the building of
war ships has become craze
against which there should be an
emphatic popular protest At the
very least, we ought to know what
we are doing before we consume
any more vast sums of money on
floating casemates that may not
dare to venture out of harbor
without danger of going to the bot
TOM The last appropriate for new
battleShips ought not to have been
made. Congress should put a stop, to
any more expenditures in this 5di-
rection until, first. we can point out
some need of additions to our al
ready excessive naval force; and,
second, can furnish some better au-
thority than paper plan for the best
method of construction.
