TN t,I Increase by the ships now under con-
otnnc,ion. while not as large as that of a
'other powers, Is a formidable force;
n."vsssels are the very best OF each type;
snd with the increase that SHOULD be made
any Jt from time TO time in the future, and
uns,ofr,i attention to keeping II in a high
esa,a ~ efficiency and repair, II Is well
sssnsnted TO the necessities of the country.
aa TSs Great Increase of the navy which has
I'm nlace in recent years was justified by
l ane rredn,,irements for national defense and
h w received public appreciation. The time
Ne now arrived, however, when this in

JTnmId for time, take the form of in
ssausased facilities commensurate with the
,asseasa OF our naval vessels IL is an un-
sHa,,unate fact that there is only one dock
nn the Pacific coast capable OF docking our
, w. cost ships, and only one on the Atlantic
s..st and that the latter has for the last
w ar seven months been under repair and
,Ssrefore Incapable of use, Immediate
stems should he taken to provide three or

made for powder and projectiles, and other
munitions OF war ard for an increased
number Of officers and enlisted men. Some
ADDITIONS are also necessary TO our Vdvy

PRESIDENCY OF UNION PACIFIC.
Speculation Very Active In Omaha
Railroad Circles.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. G.-Gussip regard
ing the presidency of the reorSanized
Union Pacific is very active in Omaha
halfway circles. Thomas NJ. Orr as
sistant secretary of the Union Pacific
executive department. has been sud-
denly called TO New York, but the rea-
son for his unexpected trip cannot be
learned here. While at Union Pacific
headquarters it is still believed that
Edwin w. Winter will be the next pres
dent, those who have heralded the
election of Horace G. Burt had their
belief strengthened when il was an
nounced that on his recent visit here he
made application for his former resi-
dence in this city, which he still owns.
There is considerable anxiety at local
headquarters of the Union Pacific, as
ii is believed that the coming of either
Winter or Burt as president viii! imme-

CIVIL SERVICE.
Distinct Advance Made In Operation
of the Law.

The important branch of our government
known as the civil service, the practical
Improvement of which has long been sub
Ject of earnest discussion, has of late years
received increased legislati tive and eXecu-
tive approval. During the past few
still lirmer basis Of business methods
and personal merit. While the right of cur
veteran soldiers to reinstatement in de-
serving cases has been asserted, dismissals
for merely political reasons have been
carefully guarded against, the cEamiIa-
lions for admttance to the service en-
larged ard at the same time rendered less
technical and more practical; and dis
tinct advance has been made by giving a
hearing before dismissal upon all cases
whore inCompetency is icharG6d or demand
made for the removal OF officials In any of
the departments This order has been made
to give 10 the accused his right to be heard,
but without in any way impairirg the
power of removal, which should always be
exercised in eases Of nefliciency and in
competency, and which is one Of the vital
safeguards of the civil service reform sys-
TEN, preventing stagnation ard deadwood
and keeping every emrl0ye +eenly alive
TO the fact that the seCurity(o1Jhs tenure
depends not on favor, but on his own test
ed and carefully watched record of service.
Much Of course remains to be accom-
plshed before the system can be made
reasonably perfect for our needs. There
are places now in the classified service
which ought TO be exempted and others not
CLASSIFIED may properly be included. ! shah
not hesitate TO exempt cases which think
have been improperly included In the
CLASSIFIED service. or include those which IN
my judgment Will best promote the public
service The system has the approval OF
the people and it will be my endcavor TO
uphold and extend IL.

The European Outlook.
Wilmington Messenger

wilmington Messenger.
Can it be that the great powers of
Europe will permit themselves to be
drawn into a tremendous war that
will cost tens of thousands of precious
lives and may even cause the up
heaval of kingdoms? What is lack
ing to prevent such a tremendous
calamity? Is it not forbearance aud
common sense? Is there not enough
of Cancellation and wisdom and q
Sc Sc of right among the Europeans
to stave off the curse of a gigantic
war? Will the petty jealousies of
nations be powerful enough to pre-
cipitate conflict or arms of stupen-
dous proportions when proper
caution and consideration would
make it impossible? If the Greeks
persist it looks as if the match will be
applied to the mine and terrific
explosion will follow. There is talk
of compromise and there is an
appearance of a great storm brew
ing. How one little state can become
SO important and so suddenly is
something to marvel at. The powers
ought to get together, talk over the
situation amicably, find out precisely
what Is the real complaint of Greece
and what it seeks, and then agree
like sensible nations to arrange it
satisfactory to all. If a war begins
it will involve many powers, and
possibly embrace all before it ends.
