From the Criterion.
We have class of professors at home
who base their objections to all policies
except that of inactiOn on the political
corruption, which any active policy in
vitcs. We do not hold with these, We
must so forward using the material al
hand. A higher ideal of public service
prevails now than ever before with us.
Corruption will rot have the same chance
it had in the supply branches during che
civil war. We have a more wdtChful
press, and a better grounded standard of
public morals. Against these the Gwlni-
ling contractor, who is the commonplace
of all countries in war time, will not pre-
vail. The "Carret-bag' iniquities that
followed the return of peace to the south,
will not be permitted. We do not expect
that only clean hands will be concerned
in the administration of our new territ0r-
les, but as fast as unCle&nness is detected
the soiled fingers must he Topped off.
Never has confidence i'm the judgment of
a free people been better justified than
in the whoe-souled attitude of our peo-
pie to this war of Justice. 1t deserves the
best and purest services man can give.

THE VALUE OF HERoIsM.

New York mmercial-Advertiscr.
II begins to he hinted that Hobson's
feat had no real value, since the Mer-
rimac does not ohstruct the channel,
and that the Rough Riders ran into
ambush and threw away their lives
recklessly This may be. Rash and
fruitless daring is common feature in
war, and most common in war made by
enthusiastic volunteers. If the Rough
Riders exceeded orders they initiated
the promoted stowaway of the NerrmaC.
1t was glorious disobedience and bore
splendid fruit. The use of valor in war
is not measured by its tactical gain or
diminished by fruitess loss of life. To
economize the lives of his men is the
trade of the commander in the TENT to
risk life gloriously is the instinct of men
in the field A splendid example of dar-
ing and resolution is worth more to the
army and the country than the sealing
up of a fleet or the capture of an outpost
The Merrmac may not have altered the
status of Santiago, and Sevilla might
have been taken without loss of life, but
there has been no waste. The nation has
gained heroic traultions worth ten times
the cost,

Promotion I'm our navy has been
strictly on seniority and capability.
Adhering to these lines has made our
naval officers unsurpassed by those of
any other nation in the world, as sea-
men and commanders. A system which
has evolved such splendid results in
the past should not be lightly inter-
fered with or superseded. Hobson is
mechanical genius. No man in his
profession excels him in his construct
i've engineering skill. Why remove him
from his particular line? 1t is said
there is only one higher grade in the
naval construction department to
which he can succeed. But Hobson is
a young man. We are about to enter
new era of naval construction. The
fact is we cannot afford to lose such
man in the line where there are
others who excel him in experience.
What reward, by the way. shall we
appropriate to Lieutenant Colonel
Roosevelt and his brave rough riders?

will be sent by way of st. Michael and Others
by the Chilkoot Pass.
Besides these men there are several thousand
Japanese in Hawaii whose fve-year contracts
have run out and wLo have considerable sums
of ready money. These fellows are ready for a
venture in the mines. and they will go in large
numbers unless Canada bars them out. They
will be brought over here by Japanese steamers.
but will not land. They will be transported to
the north, and unless stopped on the trails will
spread all through the Yukon.
They promise to Introduce two complications.
One is the Jealousy of miners on this coast Of
contract laborers. and especially of Asiatics.
The other difficulty will relate to food. Should
scarcity come next winter the Japanese would
stand q poor chance OF keeping their supplies.

a oS,ooo Bisrs on the abandoned Eldersae
Elevator NJ v~Yoehnykeu.

The frame waiting rooms and platforms on
the top Of the old Eldorado elevator at Wee
hawkon werc destroyed BY fire yesterday morn.
ing. Tho elevator is an iron structure and
stands at q height Of about 800 feet close by the
Woehawken terminal Of the Forty-seccnd Street
Ferry. Tho IRE started at $3.50 o'clock. Tho
hremen had great difficulty in fighting the
flames, as the streams scarcely reached tho top
of the elevator, and the fro burned rapidly.
The West Shore Railroad depot and the freight
yards and car sheds wore in danger, but tho om-
ployoes Of the railroad company prevented the
IRE from spreading. The burning debris that
fell from tho elevator completely blocked the
tracks of the North Hudson County Railway for
several hours.
The fremen, after vainly fighting tho flames
from below. dragged lines OF hose out on the
structure from the hilltop. A freboat from this
city went to the assistance OF the fromen, and
sent two powerful streams on the blaze. By 8
o'clock the fire was oxtinguished.
Thr elevator was built by the North Hudson
County Railway Company about seven years
ago ut O cost of $500, 900 to convey pleasure
seekers to Eldorado and to the Guttenburg race
track. When the Eldorado enterprise went
under and the race track was closed, about four
years ago, the elevator was abandoned. At ono
time efforts were made to sell IL for old iron, but
II was estimated that the iron would not pay
tho cost of tearing the structure down. The loss
by the fire Is placed at $4,000. on which there Is
no insurance. Tramps who used the sheds for
lodgings are suspected OF having set the fire.

worden Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire re-
hearsed briefly the facts of the famous sea fight
between the Confederate armored ship Merri-
mac and the Monitor in Hampton Roads. The
memorial, he said. had been prepared by Ad-
miral worden for the benefit of tho men who
served on the Monitor: but the Admiral had
concluded not to present 1t, lest 1t might be sup
posed that his own personal interest was do
sired. But now Mr.. Chandler presented IL and
asked its reference to the Committee on Naval
Affairs, with the view that something may be
done by the country in appropriate recognition
of that great event in the history of the war.
The fight between tho Monitor and the Merri-
mac was a signal event in two r~espeots. 1t
