An Impracticable Proposition.

1t may do no harm, of course, simply as
a matter of speculative information, to as
certain the cost of removing the navy yard
from its present location on the Eastern
Branch to the Arsenal grounds, although
$1,000 is rather n large sum to pay for
it, but the idea ef carrying such a project
into effect should be discountenanced from
the very start.
In the first place, the cost of removal
would run into the millions, and ultimately
the government would be no better off, SO
far as getting big war vessels to the
wharyes is concerned, for the channel off
the Arsenal grounds is only twenty-five
feet in depth, and there is not that much
water nearer the grounds. An expert
ments to get a uniform depth, such as
would be sufficient for our large war YES
sels, have been futile, nor is it to be ex-
pected that future experiments in that
direction will meet with better results.
Such depth of wafer as would be required

for cruisers and battleships, if at all OBJ
tainable in the Potomac could be found
only at point considerably nearer the
mouth of the river than Washington is.
Nogood reason is apparent, however, why
the navy yard should be disturbed at all.
The work that ought TO be done in thatneigh-
borhood is the reclamation of the Eastern
Branch flats, which would be in the line
of the general scheme OF Potomac River i'm
provements, and, what is more important,
greatly better the sanitary conditions OF
that section or the District. The removal
of those flats and the deepening of the cham
mel in the Branch would do away to large
extent with the malarial effluvia which at
low tide in hot weather contaminate the
atmosphere. That kind Of work cannot be
undertaken too soon.
As for removing the navy yard from its
present location. Tie less said about that
the better.

OoL.AsA W. DIckINs ON, Of Jersey city,

nOL.AsA W. DICKINs ON, of Jersey City.
~ one or New Jerseys most prominent
lawyers, registered at Wizards last night.
| Col. Dickinson has for number OF years
figured conspicuousiy in New jersey politics,
and although Republican, was chosen by
Gov. Wcrtz. the last Democratic governor,
as his chief of staff.
81 have been rather busy this week" said
Col. Dickinson, participating in the cere-
monies attending the Inauguration OF the
first Republican governor the State OF New
Jersey has ever had and although some what
tired, AM clated. The new governor, John
W. GriSgs, is the brightest and cleanest man
ever elected to the office. and his admin is ra-
ton OF affairs will mark q new era for the
State.
His election ended the most wicked,
disastrous and vicious reign or boOdlers in
the history OF New Jersey, and the largest
majority the Sta te la ever given to any gov
ernor-3c ,G00-slowed that the people
realized the necessity OF breaking up the old
regime. Jersey is a State with a great
many political cross-lines, and every man in
her is a politician. That's why we have

, annual gatherings is to make its efforts
in this particular more effective.
Aside from the Immediately practical
object of the preservation of forests. the
association devoies itself to encoura ging
the planting OF trees OF every description.
In this it ought to have the active co-opera-
ton of practical scientists and sanitarians.
who can appreciate the Importance of forest
growth from hygienic point of view. II
might be good idea TO initiate the example
of Germany, France, and other European
countries in esta blishing schools where the
science and art of forestry are taught both
theoretically and practically. They ought
to elaborate the precept that for every
tree hewn down another should be planted.
The institution of Arbor Day should lie
advocated in every State and in every county
of il. 1t has brought in vogue a custom
as beautiful as it is useful.
The work and influence of the American
Forestry Association, already potent in
many directions, can and should be ex.
tended still further. The society has an
almost unlimited field OF usefulness before
it.

int ndents, one for the white and another
for the colored primary schools.
The same argument that is convincing
in advocating the appointment OF women
as school trustees is even more applicable
in the case OF these assistant superintcnd-
ents.
There are few men who comprehend the
wants, necessities, trials and fluctuations
of small children. Women do, instinct
lively, intui,iveiy. The mother feeling guides
them, but it is tie tots in The schools that
require the most careful attention. Ii is
a great mistake to suppose that more care
should be besto wed upon the higher grades
of school than upon the lower. In the latter
the foundation is laid. Make that strong
and sou nd and in nine cases out of ten the
supcrstructure will take care of itself.
The old adage. las the twig is lent, the
tree is inclined" applies with singular
force in this instance. The greater care is
bestowed upon the beginners in the public
schools the better results may he expected
from the adolescents, physically, mentally
and morality. Because of these reasons,
to which might be added many more equally
cogent, the appointment of women assist
ant superintendents simultaneously with
that of additional women trustees, would
be an excellent thing for our Washington
public schools.

Already there is almost that number OF

Republicans are looking forward with great
interest TO the convention, which Is to
be held in September. In the meantime
political speculation as to Mr.. Morton's

Speaker Hamilton Fish. from all that

the nomination. although he has some
