Old Ironsidos.

In his annual report Secretary Lone
suggests that the Constitution, the hun
dredth anniversary of whose launching
was celebrated not long ago, should start
her second century by being fitted up as a
training ship, so that abe may not pass
away from the navy list.
The Secretary Is right In desiring to keep
the famous old craft on the list OF the navy,
and II the alternative proposal, 10 use her
as a naval museum or old curiosity shop
at Washington, would necessarily remove
her from that list, this would be an objec-
tion. But Is her employment rs a training
ship also free from objections2 Certainly
no craft of a more inspiring history could
be chosen as the school n home Of young
American sailors, and II she were moored,
with no attempt to make voyages, long or
short, and were we'll protected against &C.
cidents of fire or food, such an occupation
for her might do.
But, after all, we may we'll begin by de-
termining that there Is no need Of utilizing
her. She has performed a round century Of
service, a few years of which were as glori-
GUS as ever fell to the lot of a ship. If ever
n wal vessel deserved to be retired without
further effort to put her to work, it is Old
Ironsides. Indeed, she must inevitably be
useful In the highest sense, because her
very existence will be a constant reminder
of the glories of the early days Of our navy
and an inspiration to patriotism.
The primary purpose, in a word, should
be to preserve the old vessel for future gen.
erations to the latest possible day, and
hence any occupation thatwould materially
increase the wear and tear on her or would
bring her additional chances of destruction,
is not to be thought OF. Ever since the old
Kearsarge, which sent the Alabama to the
bottom in one Of the greatest naval duels
of modern days, was wrecked on Roncador
Reef by the incompetency Of those who had
charge of her. this matter has been OF
deep import to the American people.
The other great naval relic of the civil
war, the Hartford, Admiral FARRAGUT's
flagship, has been modernized in ma.
chinery and armament. Whether she will
render active service proportional to the
outlay, as compared with a new steel gun.
boat, is yet to be seen; but the main anxi.
ETY. of the people will be that she may re.
main safe and sound.
1t was not pleasant to read, a few weeks
ago, in dispatches from Boston, which we
trust were exaggerated, that the Constitu'
ton had been damaged in a storm, having
"broken her mornings and crashed against
the wharf" with resulting injuries to hel
hull. OF course, perfect immunity from in
juries cannot be guaranteed, but in general
the aim of Congress in determining the
future of Old Ironsides, should be that OF
preserving her al a relic, rather than Of
turning her to practical account. The noble
frigate that won such renown under HULL
BAINBRIDGE, and STEWART. should be
cared for as an inheritance that successive
generations must transmit, so long as II
can be made to last.

Ships for Gulf Waters.

Our Government has been for a long time
almost prescriptions, on SPANS account,
in refraining from sending its vessels to
the West Indies. 1t has, indeed, kept
cruisers, gunboats, n revenue cutters in
abundance off the Florida coast, but that
has been with a view to execute our neu-
trality laws, with resulting benefit to
Spain. But the old practice of sending
ships to cruise In the Gull and the Carib.
bean has been of late intermitted Notably
the North Atlantic squadron has been kept
at its exercises in high ATTITUDES, instead of
wintering in the Gulf.
We are now, however, to see a little re.
taxation in this respect. The annual in
spection of Navassa, the well-known guano
island, will be intrusted to the cruiser Mar
blehead, and while 30 engaged, she is likely,
1t is said, to have her headquarters at Port
au.Prince. The Annapolis, too, Is sched-
uled for a winters trip there, reaching Bar.
BADGES Dec. II, and touching successfully
at Martinique, st. kits, st. Thomas, La
Guayra, Curacao, and Key West. 1t will
be seen that Port-au-Prince is not in her
itinerary, but she will be near at hand.
The Wilmington also will pass through
these waters on her way to the South At
lantic station, touching at Guadalupe.
Whether these advances will be followed

Nor IL II possible. A large part Of the Low
vote itself went to him because Of consider
ations Of national politics strictly, for II
was influenced by enmity to the Republi-
can party. The eid.Milholland- Brook.
fleld-McCook gang would not have gone
into the Low movement except to wreak
their revenge on the Republican party as a
national party, and they are now continuing
their efforts at Republican disorganization
because Of that malignity. Their ami.
mostly is not merely against the Republican
organization In this city, but against the
national organization also, because Of their
disappointed and vindictive vanity. REID,
for instance, is az much against Mr.. Mo-
KINLEY for not giving him q Cabinet place
as he is against Mr.. PLAT for not support
ing his application for It. The motive
force Of the Low enterprise was the spite
and rage Of such disappointed ambition in
national politics. The same vindictiyeness
in the same breasts was intriguing in the
spring Of last year to turn over this State to
the Democrats.
Two.thirds Of the people of New York,
Democrats and Republicans, decided that
they would not intrust its Government to
that petty and malicious crowd. They re-
fused to be ~humbugged by their clap.trap
pretences Of non.partisanship. Mr.. CARL
SEIZURE and company have been overcome

RepIenish the Treasury,

The deficit in the revenue Of the United
States for the first five months Of the fiscal
year Is officially reported at nearly $46,.
100000. 1t may be reduced a little during
the present month, hut for the first half of
the fiscal year It will not be far from $45,.
100000. At this rate, It will amount, for
the whole year, to 800, 900, 900.
Secretary GAGE, it is said, Is hopeful that
the revenue will so far increase. after Jan.
/, 1893, as to reduce the threatened deficit
by July /. 1898, to $25, 900, 600. To effect
this, the revenue for the six months from
Jan. / to July 1, 1898, must not only equal
the expenses, which will require a increase
In IL Of $45 900, 900 over the revenue of the
first six months, but It must exceed them
by 800, OOO, 900. Thus, to meet the Secre-
tary's expectations, the revenue for the last
half Of the current fiscal year will have to
be $65 ,000, 900 moro than 1t has been
during the first half. This is possible, but
not probable.
1t is true that, thanks to President
CLEvELAND's bond issues, and
to the receipts from the sale Of the Union
Pacific Railway, a large balance will re.
main in the Treasury on July /, 1898, aver
after meeting a deficit of 500, 1000, 900 for
the year ending that day. or this balance,
however, $780, 600, 900 will consist Of gold,
which ought to be held exclusively as a
reserve fund for the redemption OF the
Government demand notes. 1t is not likely
that the fun will be needed for actual re-
demption, but If 1t is used, as it was used,
under the Cleveland Administration, for
the payment of current expenses, the cry
may be again raised, as it was then, that
the Treasury is in danger of suspending
gold payments, and further bond issues
may be needed to quiet the public mind.
Prevention is better han cure, and a suf-
f1cient revenue is better han bond sales.
Let Congress take measures, at once, for re.
p%lenishing the Treasury, and spare the ma.
tion the humiliation and the financial
agony 1t suffered under CLEVELAND.

Former steward OF Their Yacht Wants $50. O
Damages for Personal Injuries.
A suit for 100000 damages has been brought
against Howard and George Gould by Frank
d. Mowbray, formerly steward Of the yacht
Hildegarde. Mowbray alleges that one night
in August, 1894, when the yacht was anchored
off Larchmont with a party of about a dozen
ladies aboard. Howard Gould ordered him to
set off some rockets and other signals. He at
first refused to do so. because the rockets were
old and dangerous, having been aboard the
yacht when she was purchased from the Prince
of Wales by George Gould six years before.
After a second order Mowbray began setting
off the rockets. The first two did not explode
properly, and he again called Mr.. Gould's at
~tention to the fact that they were dangerous,
but was, he alleges, ordered a third time to go
ahead. The next piece. a distress signal rocket,
exploded before ascending. and two of tie balls
left eye and the other decorating the right side
OF his chest. He was taken TO Bellevue Hospi-
tai, where he remained for two months.
Mowbray alleges That Howard Gould prom.
ised to keep him for life as his valet II he would
not make any fuss over his injuries, and he ac-
August, three years after the accident, when
he says he was summarily discharged. The
statute of limitations outlaws all such suits as
the pre- ,ent one after three years. but Scott and
Clark of los Fulton street, Mowbray's lawyers,
claim that as he was out of the State-on a trip
around the world aboard the Hildegarde-a
portion of the last three years, the case is not
yet outlawcd.
a summons to appear in twenty days was
served on Howard Gould on Tuesday.

Lord Salisbury on Mera,oman,a.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir: 1t must be what
Seth Low would call zone OF the tragedies of life -
q comment which Larry Godkin would surely echo
to md the Prime Minister OF England turning to the
columns OF THE Sun when at n loss for language suit.
able enough and strong enough to express his mean.
Ing. I refer to the use of the word 'megalomania."
They think that 1t is Sal.sbury's own; and even God.
kin's paper uses 1t in a recent London despatch. II
he thought It appeared originally in TIE sun. and
that "~megalomaniac was offered as a good substi.
tute word for "Mugwump' If l remember rightly
how mean he must now feel.
1t is years ago now since the introduction of this
word by THE SuS caused so much amusement to your
readers. / cannot tx the precise date OF It's appear.
an. in your columns; but IL was In or about the time
that you invented the Glethometer. which rose and
fell in proportion as the chief Mugwump lied or told
the truth. You have never said anything atout this
alethometer for a long time. SO I suppose Godkin's
gyrations caused 1t TO rise 80 high that It burst.
According to THE Sun of yesterday Lord Salisbury
uses the word ''megalomania in his speech on mum.
cipal government at the National Conservative Con.
ference. 1t Will prevail in New York. he says. under
the new municipal administration. as 1t always has
prevailed in Paris. Alas, alas! that the fiery Cecil
should know SO little OF the beauties and possibilities
OF this noble word when properly applied
But his description of the men whom he desires to
see dominant In the London County Council, of how
that body should be composed. so exactly tallies with
what Godkin says about our representative bodies.

He Is speaking OF the dudes and swells. and men OF

and he says:
But II you overload them you will not get these
men. They cannot give you the whole OF their time;
some must be given to their own affairs. and though
LIDO not for q moment d ny that you have excellent
men ON the London County Council. they are men of
another type. They are men uchO Dire themselves
trh0ifD up to this matter. That Is not SO good, or any.
thing like so good. as a government consisting OF men
who are still conducting their own affairs.
There Is the spirit that fights the payment OF mem.
bers OF Parliament; that fights the extension OF the
electoral franchise; that fights any measure that
would take away the political power OF the govern.
ing families" and give 1t TO ''men who give them.
selves wholly" to the service OF the people. II there
be any difference between salisbury's speech and a
Mugwump's TRADE against New York, I fail to see It.
