HERREsHOFFs TO TRY.
They VIII Have a Chance TO Build
Torpedo Boats.

The Herreshoffs, the great yacht builders,
may be given chance to show what they
can do in the way of naval architecture.
When bids were opened at the Navy De-
partment for the construction of the three
seagoing torpedo boats authorized by Con-
gress the Herreshoffs were found to be the
lowest bidders. Their bids, however, were
for the construction of the vessels upon their
own plans. These plans were referred to
Secretary Herbert and Chief Constructor
Hichborn and Chief Engineer Melville for
consideration and report.
After careful examination these officers
found that the boats can be built as pro-
posed by the Herreshoffs and their report to
Secretary Herbert W i'll recommend that the
contract be given that firm. Some altera-
tions will be made in the plans which the
Herreshoffs will have to accept II they wish
to undertake the contract
1t was the intention of Congress to have
one of these vessels built on the Pacific
coast, one on the Gulf and one on the Mis-
eissippi. No bids were received from thu
Mississippi or the Gulf and only one, that of
the Herreshoffs, from the Atlantic. Under
the act the Secretary can contract with the
Herreshoffs as he was authorized to build
the vessels at any place in this country If
bids from the places specified were un-
reasonable or IL none were received.
The bids from the Pacific coast were
much higher than those of the Eastern firm.

was arrested here last week charged with
attempting to- snatch a pocketbook from

Mrs. Canty stated last night, however,
that she had no intention, whatever, of with
drawing the charge, or allowing the Gaze TO
be nolle pressed, If it could be helped. She
is still absolutely certain that Reeves made
The assault, and says thai the prevailing de-
Dire to pronounce Reeves notguilty before the
case is tried has determined her to push it.

DIR. CoE EXPECTED IT.

The assertion has been made that Walsh
who was formerly driver, had only
the previous day begun work as motor
man, and the argument is advanced that
his unfamiliarity with the road may to
q certain extent account for the acci=
dent, and the fact that his train is said
to have been running across the Belt line
crossing without Stacking speed. --,-
DR.. Coe severely criticises the Ninth
street officials for the rapidity with which
their trains are moved in the vicinity of
the accident. He says that since the utiliza-
tion of the underground trolley as motive
power he has daily sat at his window and
watched for the accident of which he was
eventually an eyewitness. -s.l.
He considers that only matter of luck
prevented its occurrence sooner, and that
there will be repetitions unless flagmen are
employed or the rate of speed reduced

THE CASE OF JUDGE HATToN.

All men Of observation have furnish
ed long list Of expressed convictions
TO the effect that public sentiment Is
all-powerful. All powerful 1t is. But
In the being all powerful, it Is slow OF
action, and almost sure Of righteous
result.
Public sentiment finds its only man
datory Of expression rightfully 1T cleo
tons such as are provided FOR this peo-
pie. 1t can not, in the fever OF !ndiS-
nation, change the date Of election.
The offending Official, who has caused
such indignation, IS protected for the
time being from public sentiment. II
that public sentiment Is luminosity I,
must undergo the test OF patient wait
Ing. If the animosity Is righteous ii
viii endure lit is wrong, It will fade
away. So the unrighteous official
gains but little in the end by the re

spared the hasty action of condemna-
ton, and his case Is given a fair hear.

Tending official, secure from all pen
atty, become tyranOus. The tyrant is
amendable to no civil Or criminal law.
But he is amenable to a higher law
which never fails in tia end to Uring
the singing lash of Justice down on the
usurpers' back. The people of WITCH
tia have no control over the present
board Of police commissioners. They
can not vote them out or vote them in.
They have become tyrants, not TO the
extent of cutting off heads and issuing
prescriptions, but to the extent of
threatening taxpayer, the share-hold-
er in the government. with eonfistica-
ton Of property through nOnselsical
and Intellectual prosecution. Like all
tyrant that history ever recorded, they
have no .hesitancy In annulling any
law to carry out their ends. Judge
UattOn refused to place man on the
Jury who said he was ready to convict
the defendant. Judge Hatton was re-
moved summarily by that police COM
mission, not because he was incompe-
tent. not because he was unfair, not
because he was dishonest, but becau use
he refused to annual the law Of the
constitution which vouchsafes every
man a fair trial. whether he agrees
with the judge politically and religious
~ or not
1t was an unrighteous act. It was
an unlawful act. 1t was a cowardly,
insidious raitorous piece of iRfamy.
Never captain shot a soldier for
honesty; never q general cOurt-mar-
tailed q private for performance of
duty; never politician turned upon q
follower for fidelity; that time and the
justice it works out between man and
man, did not damn his peace and stain
his soul at last
In their present position Afessrs.
Smyth, Lleurance and Keck are in
vulnerable SO far as the weapon Of
suffrage Is concerned. The law can
not reach them. The people can not
reach them through the law. But just
as sure as right has always been trium-
plant and Just as sure as wrong has
brought its own punishment, from time
immemorial, these three men, when
the fever of political contention has
left them, when the spirit of political
fanatacism is becalmed, when the ex-
aggregate necessity for political expe-
diency has gone with the contest that
engendered it, these three men will
feel the sting of the lash of that JUS
tice, which, while not of mans
enactment. nor bigot's framing,
still rises in Omnipetent might and
brushes and overwhelms.

cd states notes are payable In coin,
where the note itself does not specificly
EXPRESSLY TO the contrary; that when
these notes were issued lawful money
meant coined money as the money OF
ultimate redemption OF either or both
gold and silver: that the greenbaek's
face calls Cor redemption in dollars"
Notwithstanding all. the demand is:
PAY in gold"
The demonstration was an ex post
facto act. When the constitution says
to "coin and regulate" it did not mean
irregulate and regulate. The people
of the United States were doing busi-
ness and valued their possessions
under the century old laws, which held
Is ounces Of silver to be worth ounce
of gold. The ex post facto law demon
citing silver violated the contract be-
tween the government and the people
and robbed them Of half they had and
doubled the wealth Of the creditor and
the gold owner. 1t was all retroactive.
Congress by this act took silver out OF
the money and Of the scales and made
it q commodity, leaving the gold to re-
present all the money. 1t was SIMPLY
an ex post facto law in the interest OF
the creditor and against the debtor, IN
the interest of the classes and against
the masses, destructive Of commerce
and for the concentration OF capital.
IF the peeple Of the United States could
act as the supreme court but for one
hour, they would declare the demone-
tiZation act unconstitutional
But Grover Cleveland, president OF
the United States. with more power
than the Queen of England and En-
press of India, Is as the interested
friend Of the conspiracy firmly. dog
eedly set, obstinate and unmovable.
We can see him idly fishing in Buzc
yards Bay waiting at his ease, the day
when, under the law, a hundred mil
lions more Of gold bonds must be sold
and their millions Of margins divide Up.
Another picture comes before us. Il
is Of a white, agoniZed face OF a girl
mother, pressed against the frosty win
dow of a lawyers Office in Buffalo,
New York, On a cold winter night,
pleading for justice for nobody's child.
And then another Of thousands OF wo-
men and their breadwininS compan-
ions, scattered in scrimped homes, all
over this land. out Of work, out Of
bread and another winter approaching.
Has hope and ambition, has manhood
departed the land?

ANNA DIGGS OUT.

Mistress Anna Diggs, the pestiferous
little professional agitator who an
nually bores Kansas legislators with
her progressive suffrage schemes, Is
back from California, we note by the
papers. Annals name is fairly indica-
tive Of her character. She has been
holding some kind of position in
Washington by the grace Of Granny
PETER, whose political affinity she is,
much like him in fact save in whisk-
ers. But she has got up a Bellamy
colony scheme somewhere in Califor-
mia Of which she is the father, whiskers
or no whiskers. Edward Bellamy pre-
diets great things Of 1t. Everybody
who knows Anna Is already convinced
that it will be q great fizzle. We
doubt If Anna could hold a single man,
Of any character or experience, salts
fed, even if she held him by a martial
bond. Such women as Anna are only
physically SO. In essentials Of spirit
and brain she is simply a male aggita-
tor. II Anna had any common sense
she would know that competition is the
foundation of progress, and that in a
colony Of equal social conditions, where
money is to be abolished and sermons
preached to each household through a
telephone, their can be no such thing
as development enterprise or progress.
It's all too much like saving men from
their sins and preparing them for enter
nal life, by law. It's equivalent to cur
ing 4 man Of the tobacco habit or the
drink appetite by putting him in Jail.
While you have him behind the bars
you have got him, got the man but not
the prisoner. However. we sincerely
hope that Annals scheme will stick
long enough to wean her from Kan
sas. Kansas would be all right but
for her multiplicity and great variety
of cranks.
