Tho Naval Militia.

With so short an annual tour afoat al
lowed them, It Ia unfortunate that the
State sailors at Fisher's Island should have
had their exercises 90 much broken up by
bad weather. Yet various good work has
been done, and, after all, q great advantage
Is familiarity with life aboard ship, just as
to the land militia a leading advantage OF
the summer camp is Its measure Of approach
to the routine Of the regulars In garrison or
cantonment.
Most wise and useful, therefore, has been
the detail Of the modern battleships Massa-
chusetts, Maine, and Texas, and the torpedo
boat Ericsson, in addition to the old.timer,
Portsmouth, for the forces of Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.
Although small-boat Reconnaissance and
battalion drill shore are very useful for the
prospective service of the militia In defend
ing home waters. yet a sense Of progress to-
ward "the habit Of the sea" comes from
living on a lighting ship and becoming
used to her ways and her appliances. And
this Is the moro important, since the naval
militia is not recruited from the seafaring
occupations.
The readiness of the navy to instruct
NH>oS bob ouAthio tCot oho thS bSSS
of the Navy Department to place ships and
other material at their disposal, will be
well repaid. Since we have far too few
men for the ships built and building, while
In case Of war 1t would be necessary also
to call upon the merchant marine for COM
merce destroyers, armed transports, and
craft to be fitted up as torpedo boats, 1t Is
well that several thousand State sailors are
drilled at the great guns and the secondary
batteries, In handling boats, In coast work,
In signalling, in the various parts OF torpedo
defence, and in other duties likely to DO
thrown upon them in war.
Capt. TAYLOR has set forth very clearly
what can fairly be expected Of the naval
militia and the course Of instruction and
the administrative details needed to make
them Of service to the country. An excel.
lent feature of the recent rendezvous of
several n%eighboring State organizations at
Fishers Island Ia that 1t makes them 70.
miliar with one of the most important
strategic points on this continent. 1t is the
outer defence line of Long Island Sound
and of the eastern approach to New York
itself. 1t can readily be understood that
the naval reserves Of four or five neighbor.
ing States might be hurried thither In the
event Of war, and merely as a practice field
it also has special advantages.
Without counting upon this adjunct Of
the regular navy for more service than it
can render on the cruising ships, It is clear
that as a coast guard It Is of high lmpor.
lance, and will be made more valuable by
successive annual trainings afloat.

Enrolling Ever.

The enrolment mill. the familiar device
for all amateur politicians for a count Of
heads and a show Of hands when there 10
no election pending, must be kept up or dis
appointment will pervade the rank of the
reformers. All amateur politicians are
credulous believers In the efficacy Of zen.
rollments," before any nominations are
made. After that, the enrollments, the
enrollers, and the enrolled seem to vanish
into air, and to be incapable of reproduc-
ton into votes on election day. In the
spring and summer months of 1892 the Citi.
zen Unionists have been enrolling and re-
enrolling other Citizens, at so much a head,
from a headquarters on East Twenty-third
street, and no one knows exactly how many
names they have up to date, though as long
as a city directory is published, and there
has been no talk recently of abandoning 1t,
there would seem to be no reason why the
Citizens and similar organizations should
not proc ure a long list Of selected or unse.
lected names. But the enrolment boom,
so to speak, among the Gifts has been flag
ging of late, and now the anti.machine,
anti-organization, Brookield buttercup CO.
terie of reform politicians is to nave an en-.
rollment, taking up, as 1t were, the city
directory, where the Citizens left off, or
were called off. or came of.
The dates chosen for the enrolment of
the Brookfeld men who nave been en-.
rolled at irregular intervals from time to
time during the last two years and as often
perhaps as ten times In each, are Sept.
8 and 0, and the hours during which per.
sons having the enrolment habit are re.
quested to attend are from 8 to 10 in the
evening. 1t is to be presumed that the
Citizens will cease from enrolling while
the Brookh elds are enrolling. The same
list of names which serves the needs of one
amateur political organization serves the
requirements of another, and hence two en-
rollments cannot be prosecuted simulta-
n~eously, even after nightfall.

Miss ELSIE DUFFELL Of Clayton, N. j.,
died in st. Francis's Hospital In Trenton
on Thursday from injuries received because
a horse, with which she was being driven,
ran away In a fright caused by two women
bicyclists. In turning the corner the bi.
cycles collided with the carriage and the
horse ran. Miss DUFFELL's legs were broken.
and one was ~amputated In the vain hope of
saving her life. The man who was driving
her was badly hurt. and the bicyclists were
hurt also.
AS the precise details of the accident arc
not before us, we can speak to general prin-
ciples only. Judging from women's ability
to drive, the woman bicyclist has a great
deal to learn before she is really At to go
among other vehicles. Women, as a rule,
have neither that clear understanding of
the rights of the road, and Of the cause and
effect of physical movement, nor the ability
In mind n nerve to lea with complica-
tions involving danger, without which a
driver has no right to drive.
Tn spread of the bicycle has brought
thousands of women upon the roads where
drivers of horses daily hold in their hands
the lives of themselves and of others. Every
woman SHOULD understand when she goes
upon the road that she is not merely out for
a holiday that affects herself only, but that
her chief obligation is to keep away from sit
uations that can mix Others up in accidents.

miles in New York city for q dime. A few Sundays
ago I took my wife to Waterford on the trolley cars,

A Now Role for Columbia University,

1t is notifying, indeed, to find a body of
citizens Of the stamp Of those active In the
Botanical Garden Society involved with
the Park Department In the reputation
of the experts appointed to represent the
city In the preparation Of the gardens plans.
For such men to follow In the footsteps Of
vandals, between whom and the parks the
authority of the artistic expert employed
by the city has been the single barrier, Is
particularly unfortunate as an example
tending to increase the difficulty Of stand.
ing in vandalism's way.
The Mayor made the 6rst move in this
public scandal by urging the Park Board to
adopt the plans proposed by tho Botanical
Society, without examination, or "as OF.
fered." He seems deaf to appeal. The Park
Commissioners adopted the plans against
the advice OF the Sargent Committee, and
are beyond the reach Of reason. In the
society itself there is apparently no one to
stand by the Fi.e Arts Federation, and to
prevent the abuse of a beautiful public
property and the subversion Of the most
precious rule Of park administration.
There is another group Of citizens, how
ever, whose attention we desire to call to
the fact that an institution with which
they are particularly concerned Is touched by
this outrage. BY the law Columbia Uni
versity has been honored with q place in the
Botanical Gardens management, and 1t hap
pens that the Director Of the new garden
and one Of the more active promoters Of the
condemned plans is Columbia's professor Of
botany, Mr.. n. L. BRTTToN. Instead Of
occupying Its proper place, therefore. in
sustaining the efforts OF those struggling
for a higher standard Of public art, and for
good municipal government, Of which the
Bronx Park affair Is II gross n peculiarly
vulgar violation, Columbia Is made to ap-
pear as supporting an influence against
which the artists OF New York and prac-
tically the solid press have been compelled
to raise a protest.
A number of reputable citizens who. In
return for a subscription Of money, have
obtained certain privileges from the city
Government, practically answer the COM
plants against their abuse Of power with
what are you going to do about Iii To
the extent that Columbia Is associated with
them. her good rrpute is injured. Some
me In town must be too Jealous Of that to
sec it injured without a show of dissent.

Az an indication of the Judgment thai
has been formed by the more intelligent
people Of Spain In regard to the Cuban war,
we may refer to a communication which
the Chamber of Commerce at Barcelona
has transmitted to the Chamber of Com.
merce at Valladolid. The language en-.
ployed In 1t Is OF the most earnest charac.
ter, and the demand that the wal shall be
brought to an end Is expressed in the
strongest terms:
"fhe commercial relations between Spain and
Cuba have been greatly disturbed by the insurrec-
tton. There Ia = limit 70 everything, and II must DO

Ic will be observed that there Is no refer.

argument Of 1t Is that the interests of Spain

dens imposed upon the country on account
OF 1t are unbearable. Every Spaniard en-.

Weyler on War.

The difficulty which confronts Spain is
that II her trouble In Cuba is only a riot,
she offers the humiliating spectacle Of a
great nation unable In two years and a half
to put down that riot with 200. 900 soldiers,
navy, and the expenditure Of hundreds Of
millions Of dollars; while on the other
hand, II the affair is a war, she must take
the consequences OF its recognition as such
by foreign powers.
Captain.G General WEYLER seems Inclined,
after q convincing experience, to think
that what he has on his hands is not a riot
but a war. The country being in a state
of wa and therefore all constitutional
guarantees suspended" he says. In writing
to Gen. LEE about the case of HUGNET.
We do not suppose, of course, that he Is
able to commit his Government to a recog.
milton of a state Of belligerency on the part
OF the Insurgents, and perhaps he would
try to explain his words 30 as to conform
with the theory held in Madrid but he
10 right In discerning the existence of q
state OF war In Cuba, and II Is about the
only discovery that can account for his
military failures.
Our own Government Is not likely to
pitch upon this phrase of WEYLER's with
view to making much of 1t, although it
occurs In official correspondence. Yet It
may poesess a certain value In directing at
tention to the fact that the Spanish Cen
erals themselves know that Cuba Is sin O
state Of war;" and that it is about time for
US to act on our own knowledge of the fact.
That call constitutional guarantees are
therefore suspended" we long ago found in
the experience OF other American citizens
besides HUGNET. 1t is time that Spain, In
acting as II an actual state Of wal existed
In Cuba and In imposing its hardships
upon us, should also take its responsibilities.
The first step Of the Administration will
OF course be to open the negotiations with
which Gen. WooDFoRD is intrusted. But
should these prove wholly futile. it may do
we'll to remember that there already exists
on the statute book a resolution passed by
overwhelming majorities in the Fifty-fourth
Congress-, expressing the opinion that "a
condition Of public war exists" In Cuba,
and that the rights of belligerents should be
accorded to the Cuban Government In our
territory and ports.
