what at a disadvantage from needing the
battle ships as soon as they can be made
ready, and still more from the fact that II
may become liable for damages to the con.
tractors for the bulls and machinery, who
also are to install the armor when furnished.
There were indemnity bills in the last Con-
gress, based on the delay Of the Government
to give such contractors the promised ma
terial, or other delays. Hence the Secre-
tary may we'll feel that he is not author
lied to wait long for the Illinois Company,
which might underbid the Bethlehem and
Carnegie companies.
Yet will not the same objection apply to
building a Government plant, which is one
of the plans under confederation Tho
Government can command all the funds
needed, but private enterprise ought to put
up the plant as rapidly as it can. There is
still another proposal, that the Govern.
ment should purchase and run the Beth.
lehem or the Carnegie plant but the high
cost Of these plants compared with whata
similar one could he erected for now, espe.
cially as the Government has the land,
seems to put that out of the question.
1t must he considered fortunate, there
fore, that the bids are soon to he opened,
as the Government will then know what It
has to rely on. The Secretary has been
limited to the very low price Of $500 per
ton, although Mr.. HERBERT strongly recon.
mended $500, which, he supposed, would
allow the contractors 80 per cent. profit
upon the future cost of manufacturing
armor. Blu the limit of $500 obviously
wipes out most Of this estimated profit.
Congress, however, being in session when
the result Of the bids is known, can direct
the Navy Department. 1t can authorize
raising the limit of price, or 1t can order
the acceptance of the Illinois Company's
offer, allowing a fixed time for completing
the plant, or 1t can instruct the Navy De.
partment to build n Government plant.
In either Of the latter cases 1t could per.
haps learn how much would still he saved
over recent prices in the opinion of the
navy experts, after deducting the damages
due to the contractors of the Illinois. Ala.
hama, and Wisconsin for the delay. 1t also
remains to he seen what bids. II any, the
Bethlehem and Carnegie companies may
make.

as the European Governments have 30 apa-
thetically tolerated for the last two years.
Mr.. BALFoUR may have thought he was
making a strong point In favor OF the policy
Of the powers, whatever IL may be, when
he said that no one Government had a right
to rush In to settle the Eastern trouble by
itself. But, In fact, what he meant as a
blame to be cast upon Greece is the highest
justification Of her acts In Crete. Few In
numbers and poor in wealth, the Greeks
went to the rescue Of their Cretan kinsmen,
who otherwise would lave been without
protection against the Moslem assassin. A
handful Of Greeks did for the Cretans what
the federated Governments Of Europe were
unable or unwilling to do for the helpless,
unarmed Armenians. The world honors the
Greeks for their act Of righteousness and
humanity, which stands out in bright relief
against the background of indifference and
sordid interest displayed by the Govern.
ments Of Europe. Whether the Greeks are
called on or not to again array themselves
against the Turk in defence Of their own
liberty and that Of the Cretans, they nave
celebrated in a brilliant manner the ann
versary Of their own deliverance from
tyranny, and added another to the many
services they have rendered as q people to
the cause of human progress and freedom.

~Inordinate Wealth.

From Topeka, which may be regarded as
the capital of not only Kansas but of the
whole lunatical world, comes the report
that certain Populist and Popocratic states.
men are urging by committees of CORE
spondence and other means a proposition to
tax inordinate wealth. These philosophers
hope to amend the Constitution so that
Congress shall have the power to lay a tax
upon excessive wealth. The limit between
moderation and excess has not been set. but
that is a detail. In the next three years
the people are to be aroused so that they
will rush to the polls in 1900, and vote for
the skinning of inordinate wealth.
The scheme is of a piece with the present
disposition of demagogues to regard wealth
as an offence and a danger. In other people.
There 10 no reason why the scheme should

graphic Offices at Buffalo, Sault Ste. Marie,
and Duluth, under the authority of Con.
gress, not only has the approval of the Navy
Department, but Is based on the work lone
by similar offices on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts.
The branch offices, as Commander SIGs.
BEE has explained, have for their great fca-
ture personal visits to ships and shippers to
gather information for the main office.
They also correct barometers, chronometers,
thermometers, and charts for ships, and
give information about routes. wrecks, and
port regulations. Their collections of charts,
corrected constantly, are open to the public.
On the Atlantic and Pacific coasts the
branch offices have aided in securing from
1900 to 1000 voluntary observers among
mariners. In the last fiscal year visits were
made by them to 9,792 ships, and 1880
visits were received. They corrected H.
544 barometers and $50 charts, compared
1857 chronometers, and distributed nearly
a million and a half notices to mariners.
They display a time ball connected cleo
trically with the Washington observatory,

A like work, for a moderate sum, can be
done at the three points proposed on the
great lakes, those inland seas of the CONT.
nent, on which about nineteen .twentieths
