OPPOSED TO HIS REMOVAL.

The Va hington Times is opposed to
the removal Of the Naval Academy
froia ANNAPOLIS, Md, nearer TO deer
water. and finds fault with Newpo.;
News, especially. because thai place
has been well spoken OF by a numbc:
If a officers as u desirable poin. III
which 10 locate the institutions.
1t secs in the approval of these officers
q desire only to locate the academy IN
the vicinity of Hampton Roads bccause
II such an event 1t would be nearer the
fashionable world. but II loses sigh Of
the hundred and one advantages which
the location named offers over the pres
sent site.
The Naval school certainly oughght to
be ituated AT n point where the cadets
can hav the benefit of seeing great
naval vessels and watch there manoeu
vers occasionally, at least, and such an
advantage is o afforded them where
the institution is now located. But be,
u the present situation has an
swered the purpose of the Government
for years II sees no reason why It should
! bc thih6en III utS. II lOISetS, now
ever; that times have changed;
that the conditions of years ago no long
er obtain. and that every advantage
should be afforded the future comman-
ders Of our ava vessels to familiarize
themselves with the practical move
ments Of the navy.
Because the academy. as it is now
located. has turned out heroes of three
wars" it does not follow that the men
who will hereafter be sent out from the
institution may not prove heroes as grea t
as those who have gone before them,
eve If the location of the academy
should be removed nearer deep water.
Certainly all he heroism in the land is
not dead, but If such was q fact, what
has the location of the academy TO do
with 1t, anyhow? The fact Is that a deep
water location Is the place for the Naval
Academy, and the hope is that Repre-
sentative Barrett's bill, looking to tina
end, will become u law despite the OBJ
jections of the Times.

a CASE OF SUPPOSE.

The Knoxville Jouanal. one of the
few Republican journals published in
the South, is evidently not satisfied with
what its friends are doing in Congress,
If indeed It is not a little alarmed. II
says:
Suppose Congress would adjourn
without the Republicans of the House
presenting any measure for the relief
Of the Treasury, the Improvement OF
the times IL the restoration of pros
perity-in what plight would the Re
publican party be In the campaign next
year? II would be the attitude OF a do,
nothing party, of n party that had not
the courage of its convictions or else
had not the energy or the wisdom to
act OH It's convictions"
This Is q just reflection. and IL the
Journal can point TO IN single thing the
party has done since 1t came in control
of the Legislative branches of the Gov
eminent, along the lines mentioned, 1t
will have done more than any one else
can do. Aa q do%-nothing party 1t is u
success.

Mrs. Harrlson's idea of a husband of

may be inaccessible; his wardrobe may

These pictures are 10 so hard after
all, but ii is 4 question whether the
writer's have given the true version of
what goes to make up an Ideal Hus-
band If, however. they are truly
drawn. 1t seems that man in the married
state is not so horrid as has been sup
posed. II should not be difficult for a
husband to measure up to the standard
which these ladies furnish, and, dis
cardlng the term ideal" there are
thousands upon thousands of just such
husbands living to-day. In fact. the
world is full of them.

If their ever was Il reason for the

are hundreds e reasons why q new

"THE IDEAL.

Marion Harland.' Bessie Bisland"
and Mrs. Burton Harrison have inter
esting article in the North American
Review about the Ideal Husband"

there was no such a thing as an Ideal
Husband" and the average mortal has
