A rather peculiar feature of the plat
form of the democratic alliance of the
Greater New York, which has nominated
Henry George for mayor, is the fact that
1t says nothing about silver at sixteen to
one; it indorses the Chicago platform in
q big lump, and let's it go at that. The
silver issue is the dividing line between
the alliance" and Tammany, yet the for
mer studiously avoids the word silver"
in its platform. Were these alliance
men afraid the gold-bug DOGGY would
catch them?

The Information in our Washington cor
respondence that the navy department
will establish srecrniting stations on the
South Atlsnt4s ieoast.. in this city and else
where, is gratifying. The contemplated
step is in the right direction. Heretofore,
we Of the south have been somewhat shut
off from the navy; we have, to a degree,
regarded it as something in the nature of
a foreign institution, Recent visits of
the new sltipsto southern ports, however,
have created anteresJ 10 the navy, and if
this interest is fostered by the depart
ment II will become very strong. What is
wanted in the service now is such changes
as will make the navy attractive to the
young men of the country; changes which
will offer capable and Industrious men a
chance torise. The navy needs to be pop
ularized. Meantime the recruiting sta
tons should be opened; and the receiving
ship for this section should be stationed at
the port of Savannah.

The Luetgert trial in Chicago has now
gone on for six weeks. and the end is not
yet in sight. 1t seems almost inconceiv-
able that so much time is actually neces-
sary to determine the guilt or innocence
of the accused. '"The greater part of last
week was passed in threshing over old
straw" says our dispatch of yesterday
The lawyers are killing time, confusing
the witnesses and muddling the brains of
the jurymen. The trial will cost the tax
payers of Chicago thousands of dollars
and Luetgert every dollar that he can
rake and scrape probably. The modern
murder trial mas become a most wonder
full thing to contemplate. The chances are
that If common sense, and not technical
tiles, had governed in the management of
the case, Luetgert would have been con-
victed or acquitted in three days

1t has even come to the point in the Ha-

the Washington Star, that the President
