There has been introduced in the Sem
ate bin authorizing the Secretary OF
the Navy to enlist additional men for serv-
Ice in the United States navy and for other
purposes. The title sounds eminently proper,
but for all that the bill should not pass.
1t does nothing more nor less than to en-
power the President to go to war whenever
it p!eases him 10 do SO.
The first section of the bill is all right.
1t authorizes the Secretary of the Navy
to enlist LOGO additional men for the
navy, and makes n specific appropria ton
for that purpose. The navy needs more
men. With the ships that will be put In
commission within the next twelve months
1t is even doubtful il the additional thou
sand men would give each vessel its full
complement Not only should there be
enough men to handle the ships properly,
but provision ought to he made for emer-
gencies, such as sickness, nor should the
men be worked too hard.
When it comes to the second section of
the bill it beGiDs TO look i little more
oininous. THIS section authorizes the Sec
retary, whenever an exigency may exist
which, in the Judgment of the President,

In his argument before the Board Of
Trade last night, Mr.. Chaplin Brown stated
That The proposed bond issue to make street
extensions and improve our sewer system
was not q question OF 81 SOC, 900, as
claimed by the ring spectators, but that
it would cost the District $40 100000 to
purchase the land and make the contem-
plated improvements. He said there We're
100000 feet of property 10 be purchased
in the first subdivision, the average value
OF Which Was one dollar per foot, and that
the amount TO he bought in the second
Subdivision would foot up the purchase
of land alone to $4,000, 900. He further
stated that the sewer and street improve
ments could not cost less than $2O, ,OOU, 900,
and that the total expense to the taXpay-
ers OF tie District would be at least $4O,-
000.O0O. This same estimate was made by
Mr. Shepard in his argument against the
bond bill and 1t has never been disputed
even by tlose Interested in the steal.
Contrast the burden OF debt to be imposed
by this bond scheme with the proposed
bond sale contemplated by President Cleve-
land. We have in the District a population
of about 100000 people. II is proposed
by the ring backed by the Commissioners TO
saddle a debt of $40 1000, 900 on the Dis
trict. which at the end of thirty years
would amount, with interest, to the enor-

Work has been begun on the Commission
sioners' estimates for the next fiscal year
by the proper subcommittee OF the House
District Committee. 1t is to be hoped that
thescrutiny Will not be carried forward with
the sole purpose in view OF pairing down
wherever ii is possible to do So, but rather
with the idea that reasonably liberal
policy ought to be followed In considering
the necessities OF the Capital of the United
States.
Among the most timportantitems to which
the attention of the subcommittee will be
directed are the provisions for u larger po-
lice force and an increase of the fire de-
partment. Both are imperatively necessary.
The necessity for better fire-fightinS IA
ciiities has been repeatedly shown, and
quite recently, at length, in The Times.
AS for the police force, the constantly
increasing murders, burg!aries, highway
robberies, thefts and other petty crimes
furnish the strongest possible argument.

renders their services necessary to enlist
for two years as much OF the naval militia
land other men, as he may deem necessary
to man vessels not having fun crews and
such other ships as the President may decide
to call into service under the fourth section
of the bill. Unlimited control is thus given
to the President and Secretary to call as
many men into the naval service as they
may think best. But the fourth section Is
the one that conccals the greatest mis-
chief, for 1t gives the President and the
Secretary authority to charter as many
vessels as they please for the transporta-
lion of troops "or for other purposes"
1t will be seen that without any refer
cnce TO the Congress, upon whom the Con-
stltutioD confess the sole authority to de-
clare war. the President, having quarrel
with a foreign nation, might call into be-
ing great fleets, armed and equipped; man
them with as many sailors as he chose, and
sail forth upon a career of war and con-
quest. Though the probab bility Of any Presi-
dent doing this is exceedingly remote, yet
no such powers as this bill proposes to
confer should be granted. 1t should never
go upon the statute book.
