A Faithful Public .Omcer.

When, on Monday, the convicted black
mailer known to criminal annals as "Big
HAwLEY" was sentenced in the Supreme
Court to five years imprisonment, he at

The official term for which Mr.. OLcoTT
was appointed by Governor MORTON will
close on the last day OF the present month,
N his successor for a two years term
has already been elected. The impudent
outbreak of this convicted criminal came at
an opportune time, therefore, for it served
to draw public attention to the Wig.
orous and successful administration OF
the present District Attorney. Without
flourish, and with little friction, an enor.
nous amount of public business has been de.
%spatched, criminal court calendars cleared.
as, perhaps, never before. and summary
convictions gained In a larger number OF
important cases than has been the rule.
The exacting duties of the District Attor

who cast their votes for him and for his
reelection made no mistake.

The Proposed Armor Plant.

While the place Of primary interest in the
discussion of the ship armor problem will
be occupied by the forthcoming report Of
the board appointed specially to consider
it, yet the opinion Of the Naval Ordnance
Bureau on the subject must certainly carry
much weight.
Capt. O'NEIL does not hesitate to give
the opinion, in his first annual report, that
"the Government can purchase armor moro
cheaply Than it can manufacture it." II
hat Is so, there Is an end of the business,
because the main object Of starting Gov
eminent manufacture would be to get the
plates cheaper. Other things being equal,
private industry Is better han the entrance
of the Government into the proposed new
manufacturing fields.
On what, then. does Capt. o'NErL base
his assertion7 First, on the ground that
the making of armor should properly be
1.-THE adjunct Of q great commercial steel
plant" instead Of a separate and special
undertaking, as 1t would be in the hands
Of the Government. Foreign practice. he
declares, confirms this view, and II the
Government should set up an armor plant,
this would be done not only at great orig
inal cost, but with the certainty of deteri-
grafton, since 1t must lie idle o large part
of the time. Even when operated, the cost
and difficulty. he holds, would moro than
offset any advantages gained by Govern
ment ownership.
These views accord with tho experience
of our own and other countries. 1t may be
said that we have found an advantage in
the making of annon by the Government,
both at West Troy for the army and at
Washington for the navy. But in these
cases the forglngs, rough bored. are fur
nlshed by private ~foundries, and the Gov
eminent establishments are really finish
ing factories.
1t has been suggested by another bureau
officer that the best way would be for the
Government to contract for the ship with
her armor complete. instead of making
two contracts, as now, one for the hull and
machinery and the other for armor But
without going into the arguments for and
against that proposition, which, by the
way, the Ordnance Bureau has hitherto op.
posed, 1t may be said that the present
necessity is of a different sort. The con-
tracts for the battleships Illinois, Alabama,
and Wisconsin nave already been given
out, and no contracts for their barbette,
turret, and side armor nave been made.
Another point to consider is that, apart
from the cost of al armor plant, the time
required for its erection would delay the
new battleships, whereas the two private
establishments could 60 on with the work
at any moment; and Capt. O'NE1L Justly
praises their armor products as euual mr.
superior to any others in the world.

LIBERALS WIN.
The Policy or Sir Wilrrid Laurier Endorsed On

TORONTO. Nov. 30.-The liberals carried the
bye election in Centre Toronto to-day by q ma
jority Of 28s for their candidate. George Der.

in Canada since tho general election of 1896,
by which the Liberals were returned to power
at Ottawa after tho Conservatives had been
ruling for eighteen years. Special Importance
is attached to to-day's Liberal victory. because
1t was tho first Of tho bye elections since the
general election in which the issues have not
been moro or less obscured by religious or other
side matters.
In Centre Toronto to-day tho issue was Q
straight one-the policy of the Dominion
Premier Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The result was q
complete vindication of that policy and Is re-
garded as q decisive Liberal victory. Ber-
tram, the Liberal candidate, a steamboat build

declared himself opposed to any changes in the
tariff for the next ten years. and the Conserve

The Kiao Chou Bay AFFAIR.

If 1t be true that, as the Pekin dispatches
say, Baron Won HEYKINa has demanded of
China the occupation of Kiao Chou Bay rs
a German coaling station and also o rail-
road concession in Shantung province, not
only have the obstacles to an amicable ar
rangement been greatly increased. but tho
Interior purposes Of Germany have been
frankly disclosed.
The discovery and execution of tho nan
who murdered the two German mission
aries, q reasonable indemnity for tho rela-
tives of these victims, the punishment of
the implicated officials and the reconstruc.
ton Of the destroyed mission buildings arc
all proper demands. But what lave the
cession of q coalinR station and q grant OF
railway privileges to do with that crime
1t may be said that Q foothold In China
will aid Germany in preventing or punish.
Ing similar atrocities, and that o railroad
from the station to the interior Is q proper
~appurtenance to tho station. But 1t is
plain that there Is no connection between
these territorial coverings and the mob vic.
lence for which China Is willing to atone.
1t has been reported that the unlucky
commander of the Kiao Chou forts, which
were abandoned to Germany without firing
q shot, will be executed. That may DO 40
cording to Chinese precedents, but perhaps
he really did China a service by his discreet
withdrawal. The German ships seem to
have been strong enough to capture the
forts, and had they lone so, at the cost Of
life, Germany might have insisted, with
more reason than now, on keeping Kiac
Chou Bay. At present China has a chance
of limiting the indemnity to it's proper
subjects, although that ohance may depend
largely on the Intervention Of Russia o.
some other power to ave her.

London. Inemc,ent Fire Service.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE sUK-Sir: I cannot but I'D.
miro Mr.. La:ort's persistent ana logged faith in tho
methods OF the London fire brigade. His letter in
to-day's Sun has the true English ring about 1t. and
while I respect the patriotic way in which he sticks
up for the obsolete methods OF his mother country. I
cannot agree with him in his arguments. and still
believe that London could probably copy a few ideas
from this city. or any other American city.
If the people in the largo cities of this country had
waited for q big connagration to tell them that their
fire protection was insufficient. they would probably
not have any cities to-day to protect. Because London
has hitherto been free from big nrea. or the loss OF life
atnres has been small. Is no argument against her i'm.
proving her system and putting IL on a plane with
other important cities or the world. 1t has probably
been more luck than the efficiency Of her nre service
that has made her escape q serious hrs before this
and the calamity OF Friday a week ago proves con:
clusively that her FIRE brigade is utterly incapable of
nghting a serious oonnasration. The steady decrease
IN hre losses In this country during the past ten or
twenty years proves that the American idea OF pro-
viding for emergencies before they arrive 10 q good
one. and while Mr.. Lafort seems perfectly well salts
ned with London's rre service in Its present condi-
ton. j am confident that the English people In gen.
eral, and the Board OF Fire Underwater OF that
country In particular. are not quite so contented. and
he II likely to ind his native fire system radically
changed for the better when he returns home. l

The Man for tho Hour.

These are great days and anxious nights
for the an~ti-organization Republicans, that
Is, the Republicans who dislike the present
Republican organization because 1t seems
to them blind to their merits, and tyranni.
cally unwilling to allow the minority to
rule. The anti-organization Republicans
are conscious of a gift for power. With
strong communings and wrestlings they
are seeking, as they have often sought be.
fore, for a chance to exercise their gift.
Lyric Hall quivers to their complaints.
1t is strange, but seems true, that the
vast cohorts Of INT REORGANIZATION Republi-
cans, leaders all, are laboring under the
difficulty of finding a leader. AS flaming
professors against a Boss, they can
not be happy until they have found one.
Who shall he BET Gen. WAGER SwAYNE

LIAM BRooKEIELD Is one of the most
accomplished anti-organization leaders
known, but there seems to be a feeling that
ant~i-organization organizations led by him
and Gen. SwAYNE become uncomfortable
small. Gen. ANsoN G. MoCooK, one of the
most self.sacriHcing of patriots and one of
the most hopeful of enrollers. seems to
have been wearled by his recent labors for
reform. He, too, refuses to organize anti
organization. A concern consisting en-
tirely Of bosses cannot find the destined
boss. Long conferences must yet be held.
Perhaps tonight or tomorrow night may

zUsKEeEE INSTITUTE OPENED.
Secretary Wilson Compliments 1t on Its work
Among the Negroes.

TUsKEoEE. Ala, Nov. 30.-The fall session of
the Normal and Industrial Institute, of which
tho Rev. Booker T. Washington is the Presi-
dent, was opened to-day under conditions that
indicate the great interest felt In the work
being done by the institution among the ne
groes. Secretary of Agriculture James F. vii
son made an address and so did Gov. Joseph 3.
Johnston Of Alabama. Ex-Gov. Northen Of
Georgia was a prominent figure. and almost all
the State officers Of the two neiRhboring States
were present,
The absence Of the eolored politicians Of tho
State was noticeable. but in their place there
were substantial colorcd farmers who have corn
In their cribs and cotton yet unsold. After the
singing of patriotic songs. DR.. Washington
read letters of regret from President Mckinley,
Chief Justice Fuller, Bishop G. B. Galloway.
Morris X. Jesup, the New York banker; Bishop
IL. G. Potter, w. f.. Dodge of New York. and
many others. The college halls were tastefully
decorated and the grounds were arranged to
show the handiwOrko Of tho students. Statistics
were given sh wing tho great demand for farm
ers In all parts OF the South. The fact Is that
DIR. Washington has always in his possession
applications for graduates, SO that the students
OF to-day have awaiting them renunerative
places.
Secretary Wilson c~omplimented the institute
on Its work and promised tho students to mako
a special report 10 President Mckinley of tho
impression they had made upon him.
