The Price of Good Gunnery.

From Lie.
From the standpoint Of Mr.. Cunningham
Graham English gunners come high. Five
hundred dollars a week seems star price
to pay, particularly when work Is uncer-
tain. and a gunner might loaf around for
a long time before putting in hour s
hard work destroying another fleet At the
same time, the price is perhaps not exces-
sive when the speculative value of the
services Is con sidered.
1t is pity. however. that the parliament
could find no basis for Mr.. Cunning
ham -Graham's assertion, because, If 1t
were really true, we might have a chance
to reciprocate II England should get into
trouble. Based on Mr.. Cunnfngham-Gra-
hams figures. our price to John Bull for
American gamers in an emergency need
not necessarily be more than a hundred
thousand dollars day.

There has been general opinion in this
country that President Dole of the late
Hawaiian governn ent would be the first
governor of the islands in their United
States possession. Mr.. Dole has the repu-
tation Of a man of good ability and he has
demonstrated administrative talent by the
manner in which he has acted in his office.
1t appears. however. that Mr.. Harold M.
Sewall. our late minister to Hawaii, is
intriguing for the governorship. He has
caused word to be gent home that he has
the Endorsement OF 'the leading men of
Honolulu" for it. If Mr. Sewall has con-
veyed the impression at Honolulu that our
people want one of their number to f1ll It,
we think he has deceived them. Public
opinion here would prefer Mr.. Dole for
several reasons, one of which is his famil-
iarity with affairs pertaining to, govern
nnent in those POSSESSIONS.

Camp AIger's Epidemic.

1t is evident from the hospital reports
daily received from Fort Myer that Sur
ge0n General Sternberg is entirely right in
his recommendation that the troops be
moved away from Camp Alger as rapidly
rs possible. 1t is clear that the natural
water sources are inadequate. The water
problem was embarrassing even when the
District troops were the only ones on the
ground Wells were dug Immediately. but
these yielded only a small supply. When
the camp filled up and thousands were hv-
ing on the site the problem became serious
The water supply was in such close prox
unity to the living quarters of this large
army of men that it was merely a matter
of days or weeks before 1t should be con-
taminated. The first principles of hygiene
teach this. 1t is not to be accepted from
the prevalence of the disease that the site
of the camp is normally unhealthy. The
typhoid fever did not spring spontaneously
from the soil, but was in all likelihood i'm
ported from some other camp. Soldiers fell
i'll in most of the state camps with this dis
ease. and it was in that manner carried to
the various concentration points chosen by
the government. From one case thousands
may develop, if care is not exercised in the
treatment of the first patient. This is espe-
cially true when the water used by well
men is drawn from the ground in imme-
date danger of saturation with the poison
Of the disease So this outbreak should not
De blamed upon Washington or its vicin-
ity. 1t is due. as will doubtless be found
on investigation, to an initial blunder in
the selection of site lacking in adequate
water supply, and perhaps later to the fall
ure of the authorities to take corrective
steps when the disease began to thread its
ugly way through the company streets.

The Endorsement of SewaIl Should
Carry Little Weight.

San Francisco Corr. New York Tribune.
In regard to the new government of the
islands, everything is still uncertain, but
it is certain the most influential men of
Hawaii are not in the American Union
party, which is backing Minister Harold
Sewall for the first governor of the terri
tory. The men who made the fight for
annexation have not shown their hand, but
If President Dole does not care to have the
place, these men will recommend some one
of q half dozen representative leaders.
This is A view of the situation given by
a prominent Hawaiian resident, who does
not care to have his name used. He de-
clares positively that the American Union
party Endorsement of Sewall should carry
little weight with President Mckinley as
trat party is largely made up of clerks
and employees, whose political influence Is
small and who represent no large inter-
eStS.

Here and there he was dashing of a few points for fu- ture reference As the reporter stopped to pass the time of day, the Michigander remarked: This is queer; they say oranges come from California, bacon and ham from Kan sas City, and I even have found but ter and eggs that came from the Missouri town. l am going to write a letter to my home paper, but it will break my heart to say anything in the line. I've told you about bacon, hams, etc. Your sun-kissed land and all that is pretty enough to tell about and I do tell of it and the midwinter picnic of the Illinois folks. But you folks must have something to throw ir with the sunshine, and that is a little energy, a little of the progress i've spirit and less of this waiting for appropriations, a legislative session, a stray capitalist and an occasional jubi- lee, out of all of which you expect to pick up a nimble sixpence. Get a move on yourselves and show the outer world that your town is a live next door neighbor to Los Angeles, even if you have 10 San Pedro harbor at your doors.

Judge Linneys speeches are always frequently punctuated with laughter, and it will be easily seen that a great deal of laughter follow ed this:
 "The chief excellence of the popu- list is that he will not steal. He will after awhile, for he has not been in politics long enough; that is all. So in North Carolina we have found the philosophers stone. We have placed three sentinels around the ballot box, each representing different line of thought, each watching the others. and Martin F.

THREE SACRED PERIODS.
Upon Which the Gazette Believes
 Scandal Should Not Intrude.

The Gazette yesterday morning contained a somewhat sensational ac- count of the marital troubles of Phoenix pair, only ten days welded, and now separated. After describing all it knew and some things that have not yet occurred, beside a lot of i'm aginary occurrences, it concluded that it would refrain from saying any more, for the reason that nothing but kind words should be spoken at birth, at marriage or at death, sentiment with which all properly constituted people are in full accord. Speak evil of no man" is a biblical injunction and "say nothing ill of the dead'' is as old as humanity. Though nobody until now has thought to speak of the matter, it is quite ap- parent that it would be an extreme of impropriety for the bride and groom to rail at each other while the nup- tial knot is being tied.
 But it has remained for the moral ist of the Gazette to point out the evil Of improper, violent or scandal GUS conversation at birth. Precisely what the mOraliSt meant is not known. He may have had either one of two things or both in his mind, but that is immaterial, for the admonition is applicable to both.
 It would be not only reprehensible, but actually horrifying if the new born babe should come into this world villifying it's parents, the accOucheur and the attendants. On the other hand it would be no less scandalous if the parents or other persons should , cast aspersions on the character of ths babe and hold it up to contumely
 Ia handicap it at the outset by giving
 bad name which it, perhaps, had Aone nothing to deserve.
 If the readers of the GaZatte will follow it's teachings, they will be safe; they will wear diamonds in this world and crown in the next.
