WAsHINGroN, April g. A Joint reso-
luton appropriating s2CJ.00o for sup
plies for the Southern flood, sufferers
was passed by both House and Senate
and promptly signed by the President
yesterday, SO that the sum mentioned
is immediately available for relief
work. The action of Congress was in
respons, TO srpial message. which
was sent to both houses when they
met at noon The message after re-
citing the situation in the flood
stricken states, continues:
Under such circumstances the citi-
zeus Of these states look for the CO..
operation and support of the national
government Ia relieving the pressing
cases Of destitution for food. clothing
and shelter which are beyond the
reach of local efforts The authorities
who have communicated with the ex-
ecutive recognize that their first and
most energetic duty is to provide, as
far as possible. the means of caring
for their own citiz.ns. but nearly all
of them agree in the opinion that after
the resources have been exhausted a
sum aggregating al least $3.50, 900 and
possibly $500, 600 win be required for
immediate use
"Precedeuis are not wanting that in
such emergencies as this Congress has
taken prompt generous and intelli-
gent action. involving the expenditure
of considerable sums of money, with
satisfactory results. ln ls7i $3.50, 600
was appropriated. and i'm 1850 $3.50 600
was also appropriated for relief i'm the
same direction, besides large sums in
other years
1T has therefore seemed TO me that
the representatives of the people
should be promptly informed of the
nature and extent of the suffering and
needs of these stricken people. and /
have communicated these facts i'm the
! hope and belief that the legislative
branch of the government will
promptly reinforce the work OF the
local authorities in the states named.

Navy Department - What
Secretary MeAdoo
Says.

The annual publication Of the United
States Navy Department, entitled
Operations of the Naval Militia for
the Tea 1885, has just been received
in this city.
The report of the Board of Officers of
the U. s.. S. Raleigh, in regard to the
Battalion of the West, New Jer-
sey Naval Militia, is very Sc
we're in its criticisms of two officers, and
points out that the percentage of at
tendance was only Is per cent. of the
officers and 10 per cent. of the enlisted
men. It la that the discipline is good,
but that the professional knowledge of
members of this battalion, judging from
those present for drill, is extremely linn
tied. There are no seamen in the bat
talon except perhaps the commander,
who is aid to nave served as a line
officer during the Rebellion. The officers
and petty officers are generally the best
men in the battalion. They know, how
ever, but little as yet of the specific
duties of their ranks or ratings. but
would become fairly proficient If prop
erly instructed"
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Nc
ports that the various naval militia or
CARNATIONS have p~rospered and grown
mainly through their own energy and
persistency, in face of the opposition of
their military competitors for the popu-
lar favor, of varying opinions as to their
usefulness n the expected part they
were to fill in the national defense, and
of the lack of suitable instruments for
their instruction and adds that the
Navy Department will do all it can to
aid the movement. and that Congress
should renew its $4,000 appropriation of

THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

of AengthenInE 1t.
The primary and apparently the most
prolific cause of our present political in
stability is believed to reside in our 100
frequently recurring Presidential cleo
lions. Longer continued periods of un-
interrupted business tranquility are ex-
tremely desirable, and indeed ~indispensa-
BILE, for the safe development of q diver
SIZED industrial progress. These ccndi-
tions can be surely attained only by in
creased exemption from unnecessary poll
teal agitation. This desirable result can
be promoted with the greatest certainty
by extending the length Of the Pres-den-
tial term. The first and last years of
everWN National Administration are ma
turahy seasons of political activity: SO
that, under g term of four years, barely
Two years of qu.et can be expected. If
SIX years, we might fairly anticipate at
least four years of continuous exemption
from political strife. The longer inter
Presidential campaigns could not fail 10
be promotive of conditions favorable to
the conservative development of business
trial activity. Surprising the Presidential
term to be heightened 10 six years, as
herein proposed. member of the House
OF Representatives should be elected for
a period CT three years. Thus, there
would be, as at present. two full terms of
Congress within the. limit of each Presi-
Dental term. The official service of each

election of the members. instead of be-
ing postponed. for the first regular SEES

election. as is now the case. Thus, the
voice of the people, as expressed through
Their ballots, would become potent. and

COTTON SENTENCED.
The Thief Gets a Year and a
Half-A Dugan Robber
Gets Seven and
a Half.

Charles H. Cotton. the thief and burglar
who was transformed into a romantic
lover by modern journalism, was brought
up for sentence in Judge Hudspeth's
Court today. 1t must a required a
powerful effort of a wonderful imaglna-
tion to weave any omanc around Col
ten. He is shabbily dressed, his shoes
are down at the heels. and he looks just
what he is, a thief. He had nothing to
say for himself. and Judge Hudspeth SEN
fenced him to a year and a half in the
Penitentiary. Cotton went into John H.
Clark's house, where he had been taken
care of for some time from pity. and stole
a diamond ring, two ruby rings and s2
in money.
George McGovern, who was convicted
of completely in the company at e. A
Dugan's feed store, was sentenced to
State prison for seven years and a half.
McGovern has engaged Counsellor Simp-
son to take an appeal.
Adam Haelmstaedler. who stole. some
platinum from a factory in which he was
employed and sold it ito a. jeweler In
Newark, was sent to the ~Penitenttary for
three months. Judge Hudspeth said the
attention of the Newark police had been
called ito the TACT that the jeweler made
a practice of buying stuff stolen by the
employees of the factory, but they re-
fused to take action because he was USE
full to them.
