Foes Poem.

The authenticity Of the poem attributed
to Edgar a. Poe. and recently found
written in one of the books OF the library
Of the University Of Virginia, is seriously
called into question. More than one
writer has pronounced 1t a forgery. We
are not fully acquainted with the evidence
which led our university friends TO be-
lieve ii genuine; but If we are not mis-
taken the handwriting was identified as
Poes. But IL may he argued that il was
not difficult matter TO initiate his hand
writing. In our opinion. this is a much
easier thing 10 do than To initiate his
poetic style.
Certainly. if Poe was the author Of the
poem. II will never be claimed by judges
that 1t Is one Of his best. though IL may
be said of ii. apologetically. that II was
written by Poe df at ALI when he was
very young man.
We should like TO hear more about the
discovery of the poem. and what experts
who have examined the manuscript say
as TO the handwriting as compared with
Poe's when he was a university student.
Meanwhile, we publish the poem, so
that better judges than we are may pass
upon II and upon its intrinsic merits.

London and New York.

Mr. Richard Croker, late Tammany
chief. returning from the New Market
races, has been interviewed in London
and has expressed his profound sympathy
with Lord Rosebery in his political down.
fall He attributes 1t TO the failure Of the
Irish members to stand together. Owing
to the fact that the Irish are SO greatly
divided among themselves, Mr.. Croker
does not consider the home rule prospect
at all good.
Mr.. Croker was complimentary to the
London City Government (Which has no
politics III iD, and animated that Tam
many would have done as well for New
York bad IL been given a long lease of
power. Mr.. Croker is particularly i'm
pressed with the way that the London
police control the street traffic there, and
with the fact that In the London parks
tramps may lie on the grass and none
Of the police disturb them, or make them
afraid.
II Tammany thinks that 1t can give New
York as good a government as London
has. IL will probably soon have an op-
portrnity 10 try. The present reform
government of New York can't stand.
II is making enemies every day, and gains
40 new friends. In year or two more
he New York people will be ready TO
change; ready 10 take Tammany in pre-
ference to another term of ''reformers."
The main trouble I'm New York. and in
deed In all great American cities. is that
The men with the greatest stakes In the
community as a rule, take no part In
politics or jury service. What they do is
TO groan and grieve. AS TO giving their
help TO the officers of government, they
rarely do IL. 1t seldom occurs to them
that they have public duty TO perform;
or II II does occur 10 them. instead OF
performing 1t, they shirk it. Wherever
the good people Of a city are really In
terested In good government, there good
government will obtain.

Naval Training SchOoI.

Washington special says the Navy
Department officials expect the time will
oon come when United States men
h-war will be manned by American sea-
men. Information has reached the de-
,artment from the ships In commission
hat the foreigners In the service are

Our naval vessels ought to be manned
aclusively by native Americans. and me n
Who have been naturalized long enough
o have some real appreciation Of and at
achment for our institutions.
Governor Mckinney strongly favored
he establishment at Norfolk or on
Hampton Roads OF an institution for the
raining OF boys for the naval and mer-
liant services. His idea was not TO make
ne institution a semi-prison for the dis
iplining of incorrigible youths. such as
most training-ships are. but sort OF

THURSDAY. JUNE n, 1895
Kentucky, Ohio. Virginia.

we said last week. as. indeed, we nave
several times had occasion TO say. that
II the free-silvertes failed 10 carry the
Kentucky Democratic convention the free
silver movement might be set down as
failure. seeing that such movements never
survived a decisive defeat.
We'll. the free-silver movement has
failed in Kentucky, and by consequence
there is no possible chance for the silver
ties 10 carry that state. She has declared
IT TO be her purpose to stand by the adj
in.nistration.
So as to Ohio. The Democratic state
Central Committee met on Tuesday last
aad in that body the anti-silverites gained
a decisive victory over the silvertes
Senator Brice. who has never professed
TO be anything else than an opponent OF
free-silver coinage. easily controlled the
committee, and by way of settling the
question and allowing no room whatever
for doubt, he was also selected to De
temporary. chairman Of the Democratic
state Convention to meet in August, ana
AS such to sound the Keynote Of the cam
palgn. In that capacity he VIII declare
ernphatically for Sound money" and the
Democrats Of the great State OF Ohio VIII
follow suit.
The action Of Ohio alone will be suf'i-
ciont TO "set the pace for the Democrats
Of the country. But It may be objected
that Ohio is a Republican State. II so,
we need only refer all doubters upon the
subject 10 the case of Kentucky; for as
we said last week. IL required no afirma-
tive action in Kentucky 10 kill the free
silver movement. Besides. such move
ments never have more than one chance
for their lives. The first decisive defeat
settles their fate. The people accept that
defeat as proving the unworthiness Of
the new party or the new movement and
go allow that party or that movement to
come to an end.
But. how as to Virginia? We'll, the
Democrats Of Virginia have had Il go-as-
you-please condition Of things for several
years. and cannot be regarded as having
committed themselves on the policy Of
the free coinage Of silver as that question
now presents itself. Nevertheless. it can
not be denied that the silver movement
has manifested much strength in this
State. Fortunately for the Democrats of
Virginia. they have time enough allowed
them TO reflect not only upon what has
occurred in Ohio and Kentucky and else
where. but upon the demonstrations made
throughout the whole country. In
Democratic national convention the votes
OF delegates from the Republican States
are counted as of equal importance
with the votes of delegates from the
Democratic States. Count the New
England delegates as solid. and the Mid
die-States delegates as solid, and Ohio
and Kentucky delegates as solid-solid
against free silver-and the convention
will be ready and willing to admit that
the cause of free silver has gone down
below the horizon.

stitution would not only result In I'M
proving the morale OF the common sea-
man OF our naval and merchant services
and give us a better class OF petty naval
officers. but would prove an important
factor In solving the problem OF getting
enough blue jackets to man the vessels
to be built In the future. That this Is a
serious problem is evidenced 10y the state
ment recently made that owing TO the
scarcity OF sailors some OF our naval
vessels now building would have TO 80
into commission short as regards crews
We do not know that Governor Mckin-
ney ever fully maturcl his plan In his
own mind, but he was thinking along
right lines. HIS general idea carries
suggestion well worthy Of the con-
sideration OF Congress.
