Nnnted, 4 Dry Dock.

Humbug. thy name is dry dock! This
government has spent money and time
enough on dry docks TO have built navy.
Yet it is without a dock to accommodate
its big vessels, and it will probably have
to go on spending money and time for
years to come; or until a democratic ad-
ministration shall come into power and
stay in long enough to provide for the
want The battle ship Indiana is in need
of docking. But there is not place in
this country in which she can be taken
out of the water, and, according to the
New York Herald's Washington corre-
spondence, she may have to be sent to a
foreign country to be docked.
Yet the jingoes in congress are talking
about war!
Notwithstanding the millions spent upon
the dry docks at the Brooklyn navy yard,
they are at present worthless and it will
take 800, 900 to patch them up. The new
one .eaks like a sieve. 1t had to be
flooded the other day to prevent a general
collapse. And the one at Port Royal, or
rather on Paris Island, is no more availa-
bic for the big ships. The dock itself is
large enough for the Indiana. Indeed, she
has been in it once. However, she had
considerable trouble getting there and
getting away. The officials of the navy
the other day discussed sending the IN
diana to the Paris Island dock, but gave
up the idea "on account of lack of water
in the channel" Still, II she could get
to the dock the officials would be afraid to
put her into it, on account of "its weak
ness" The quotations are from the Her
AIDS report, which continues: Rather
than risk ship worth as much as the
Indiana the authorities would prefer send
ing her to a foreign port to be locked"
This dock, which is situated behind
mud bank, and is too weak to hold a big
war vessel represents several barrels of
good government money. 1t was dedicated
to the services of the government some
years ago with a great flourish of trum-
pets, and a coast defense vessel was run
into it to test it. That vessel had an easy
time of it, and the Indiana was next tried
After considerable delay on account of
tides, mud banks and other minor details
the big vessel went in. And when she
came out, there was some more delay, oc-
casioned by similar minor details. All
this was followed by considerable talk of
dredging. 1t is said by authorities that
the way to the dock is shallower now than
it was then. Since the Indiana incident or
rather event, the dock has had very little
If any occupation, except possibly to swell
the number of items in the appropriation
bills. Nevertheless, it seems that the
Paris Island dry dock is the best thing
in it's way possessed by the government
at this time. And the battle ships of the
United States must go to some foreign
post and beg the favor of a foreign gov
ernment that they be permitted to take
a bath.
Yet the jingoes in congress are talking
! about war with a maritime nation!

Henry Irving, stood the short fat, ira
ditional figure of Napoleon. How the
transformation is accomplished we do not
profess to say. A coat cut high over the
chest, together with high shoulders and
heavy epaulettes, has a wonderful short
ening effect on the actors figure; padded
legs and hips seem to do the rest. But
when all allowance is made for these sar-
torial devices. and for the alert, bustling
manner, and rapid staccato utterances
which Sir Henry Irving (unlike himselO

wanamaker Secs Light.

After long years Of affiliation with that
party, and accepting Office at it's hands,
the Hon. John Wanamaker of Philadel-
phia, ex-Postmaster General, is just be-
ginning to find out what sort of an or
ganization the republican party is. His
political vision has probably been some
what dimmed by the halo which he wears
at Sunday school, or 1t may be that the
good man has not been let into the secret
workings of the gang, except only so far
as may have been necessary to secure his
campaign contributions. At any rate,
Mr. Wanamaker is beginning to get the
light now; and he is disgusted So deep
is his disgust. indeed, that he talks of
the formation of new party, if things do
not improve.
The foes the American people have to
fear, says Mr.. Wanamaker, are not the
Turks or the Spaniards or other foreign
ers, but the traitors in politics who use
the peoples Offices and the peoples law
making power to keep themselves in Of
fee and to enrich themselves and their
friends. While the country is ia the
throes of hard times, and the people are
waiting for the prosperity promised them
last fall, the politicians are arranging the
laws so as to pay political debts, and
gambling in the necessaries of life while
the tariff bill is pending. THE political
religion of the nation is falling lower and
lower under insults to intelligence, vio-
lations of law and reckless daring of nm
scrupulous BOSSES" says he, and con-
tinues: Laws continually despised
and disregarded, legislation conceived for
blackmailing purposes, speculation by pub
lie officials in trust and other stocks
while tariffs and other financial bills are
pending, must surely and irrevocably
ALLEVIATE the people from the party and
awaken disposition and desperation to
substitute almost any wild and untried
leadership with the hope of possible re-
lief"
The Hon. Mr.. Wanamaker means
good deal of his remarks to apply to the
Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay. senator from
Pennsylvania, whom he does not love with
a brotherly affection. Stnl, it is plain
that he Is coming to see that the repub-
lcan party Is in the hands of such men
as Quay. and that they are running II
for what there is in il for themselves
and their friends. other people have
known this for long time. 1t is to be
wondered at that so shrewd a business
man as Mr.. Wanamaber has been in the
dark so long. Since he has found what
bad company he is in we hope to see him
get out. He probably could not consist

make a great mugwump.

The Bear Is the Master.

The surprising vitality shown by the
Sick Man Of the East during the last
few weeks, and the pluck exhibited by
him during the past few days, aroused
false expectations. The Sick Man has suf-
fered a relapse. He was getting along
too nicely to suit the plans Of some of
his neighbors; and so the great white
bear raised his muzzle and barred his
teeth so that the Sick Man could
catch the CLEAN of them. and the sight
scared him into a state of collapse.
The sultan has granted an armistice.
preparatory to the conclusion Of terms Of
permanent peace. The consideration
which caused him to order Edhem Pasha
to cease firing was the report that the
Bulgarian army was about to be mobil-
lied upon the Turkish frontier. There
seems to be no reason to doubt that this
movement on the part OF the Bulgarians
was directed by the car Bulgaria is
actually. if not nominaly, under the
thumb of the Russian ruler, and it is
through Bulgaria that he will probably
strike the Turkish empire In Europe,
when the opportune moment arrives. The
czar has heretofore been playing wait
ing hand, with a show Of pro-Turkish
leaning, probably to disarm suspicion. 1t
transpires, however, that it was the czar
who called a halt Of the Turkish troops
in Thessaly, and induced Germany to
modify her position with regard to the
peace terms.
The turn affairs have taken is clearly
not to the liking Of some of the powers.
The correspondent of a London paper
sends word from Athens that he has
conclusive proofs" of treachery on the
part Of "one of the powers" that the
power in question has made "underhand
attempts to undo the work of the Euro
pean concert" The circumstances would
seem to indicate that Russia is the power
suspected, since Russia has just loomed
up as the real director of events, and has
more In view to be gained than either
of the others. 1t Is clear that the czar
means to control Turkey; and it is possi-
bic that he believes himself strong enough
to control also any other power which
may feel disposed to get In the way. The
crisis of the danger to European peace is
now in it's acute stage while the terms
of the peace are being discussed and
arranged by the powers.

The correspondent of a great eastern
daily newspaper narrated in a group of
friends to-day how a slip of the tongue
destroyed his chances of obtaining some
matter he was seeking earnestly, and in
volved him in an unpleasant experience
with one of the supreme court justices,
says the New York Tribune. He received
a letter instructing him to see the chief
justice and the associate justices of the
supreme court and ask each of them to
contribute to the columns of his paper a
short essay on subject pertaining to the
history of the supreme court He glanced
over the note of instructions hurriedly,
and when he met Justice Field a short
time later he was not certain of it's con-
tents To refresh his memory he drew
the letter from his pocket and began to
read from it to the associate justice the
Instructions which had been sent to him.
In the body of the letter was this SEN
tence:
"Of course, the old buffers not do ex-
pect TO be paid for this work" the cor
respondent read hurriedly and he ran
right into this sentence before he knew
where he was. lie stopped in the middle
of it and was about to omit the remainder,
when Justice Field says:
Hold on-what is that? Let me see
that for a moment"
"Oh, that's of no consequence, Judge"
said the correspondent.
"Just let me look at it for a minute, p"
said Justice Field. He glanced over the
correspondents shoulder and read the
sentence. There was a twinkle in his eye
that showed that he appreciated the hu-
NOR of the situation, but the correspon-
dent said to himself This ends my
search for essays" 1t did not end the
search, but it might as wen have ended it,
for none of the essays were ever written.
Justice Field appreciates joke, but he
does not like to encourage it at his own
expense.
