Charities and Corrections.
GRAND RAPIDS, June 5 >


EDITOR LEADER:-The opening exer-
cises of the National Conference of
Charities and Corrections, last evening,
gave promise of one of the largest con-
ferences in the history of the society.
The Governor of the State and the
Mayor of the City delivered addresses
of welcome to the delegates, number
ing over 800. representing charitable,
penal and reformatery institutions, To-
Gated in many different states.
Grand Rapids is situated on the
Grand River, stream about the size
of the Muskingum, flowing into Lake
Michigan at Grand Haven. 1t is not
navigable and the ''rapids" at this
place give name to the city. This is
thriving town of about $4,000 inhabit-
ants. Their police and fire depart
ment force are under Civil Service rules
and remain during good behavior. The
poor fund is handled by a non-partisan
Commissioner All saloons are closed

to see Mariettian and he was loud in

NAVAL cApershiP.
Com o petitive Exanination n to Be Held
at Cambridge, June %.

Congressman Van Voorhis is home
from Washington to make arrange
ments for competitive examination to
determine who shall be recommended
by him for appointment to naval
cadetship from this congressional dis
trict.
Mr.. Van Voorhis believes that merit
should decide who shall have the APP
pointment, and the examination will be
held at Cambridge, June 25. The ex-
aminers have not yet been selected,
but they will be men whose ability and
impartiality is beyond question.
The extent and thoroughness of the
examination will be whytever the ex-
aminers choose to make it, probably
covering reading, spelling, penman-
ship, grammar, mathematics and Unit
ed States history. The applicants must
be between fifteen and twenty years
old. The applicants must be sound
physically and above all their sight
and hearing must not be defective.
The physical examination will precede
the mental examination.
The applicant having the highest
average grade will receive the appoint
ment and the one having the next
highest will be his alternate. The
successful applicant at Cambridge will,
of course, have to pass the preparatory
examination at Annapolis before he
can be admitted to the naval academy,
as the congressman's appointment does
not hold good unless the appointee can
stand the test there. The examination
at Annapolis will be held September 1.
Congressman Van Voorhis has re-
ceiyed many applications for the ap-
pointment, most of them being from
outside of the district. Several fami-
lies have offered to move into the dis
trict if their boy is guaranteed the ap-
pointment. The place is very desir-
able one, as the graduates of Annapo-
lis receive a commission in the navy,
where with the large number of new
vessels now going into commission
every year there is increased oppor-
tunity for promotion. Even if the
cadet never reaches the ranks of ad-
miral or commodore, he is destined to a
good position for life with sure pay
and plenty of opportunity to see all
parts of the world.
At the last examination the cadet
appointed failed and his alternate was
not resident of the district, and he
was shut out on that ground. 1t was
supposed at the time of the competi
tive examination that he lived in
Washington county, but it was found
later that he did not The applicants
must be residents of the district. =

was born in Shoreham, VT. May 16. 1924;
became a clerk in country store and rose

Boston, and in 1854 removed to New York.
In 1868 he founded the famous banking
house of Morton. Bliss G. Co., at New York.
and that of Morton, Rose & Co., at Lon

a republican, and reelected in 1880. In
1881 he was appointed minister to France,
which post he filled until 1885. In 1883 he
was a candidate for United States senator.
In the same year he was elected vice pres
ident of the United States. In 1894 he was
elected governor Of New York over David
Bennett Hill. by a large majority. His
administration Of the affairs of the Empire

the republicans Of the state were unan-

THE POLITICIAN.

congress made snort work Oh Mr.
Cleveland's veto of the River and Har-
bor bill. There was no excitement, no
vituperation, and no hesitation. More
than three-fourths of the Senators and
Representatives believed the bill to be
in the interests of better commercial
facilities for the whole country and it
was passsd over the veto, and is today
the law of the land.
Unless Speaker Reed changes his
mind, and he isn't in the habit of doing
that, he will under no circumstances
accept the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent. This does not mean that he IS
sulking because Gov. Mckinley will get
the honor he sought-he has yet to
learn how to sulk-but he hasn't the
sligE test desire to fill the Office of Vice
President To any one at all familiar
with public affairs at Washington it is
needless to say that there is no COM
parison from any point of view, be-
tween the Vice Presidency, which car
the Speakership of the House, which
carries more power and influence than
any Office, except the Presidency, under
our government And Mr.. Reed can
be Speaker as long as he wants to, and
the Republicans retain control of the
House.
Congress is making good progress to-
wards finishing up the appropriation
bills, and adjournment will certainly
come next week, as nothing else of i'm
portance is likely to be taken up at
this session. 1t may be early in the
before its close.
The House committee on Library
has made a favorable report on the
bill, already passed by the Senate, for
the creation of permanent art COM
mission, to pass upon all works of art
before their purchase by the govern
ment.
Strong reports were this week sub
mitted to both House and Senate in
favor of the Nicaragua Canal bill. 1t
is not the idea of the friends OF this
bill to try to push it through at the
present session of Congress, but an eff
fort will be made to pass it at the
short session. There is no doubt of
favorable action on the bill by the
Senate, and it's friends think it can
pass the House.
There is strong suspicion that Gen.
Fitz Lee was acting under orders when
he delayed his departure for Cuba un-
I'll Congress was about to adjourn, and
that the reason for his being sent there

The nomination of pronounced sill

is taken to mean that Mr.. Cleveland
regards Hoke Smiths fight against the
silver Democracs in that state as al
ready as good as lost. The nomina-
ton was on the Presidents desk for
several weeks before being sent to the
Senate, and it was reported that Mr..
Cleveland told the Georgia Senators
that he would not nominate silver
man for the place, and that he was in
formed that the nomination OF man
who was opposed to silver would not
be confirmed by the Senate. Perhaps
Mr.. Cleveland has made up his mind to
try to come to terms with the silver
