senator Versus lieutenant.

The return of Lieut.. Lucien Young OF
Kentucky to the city brings TO mind many
Of the stories in which that daring and
popular naval officer has figured says the
Washington Post. He was at Chamber
Inns last night, and some reference was
made to the late John Chamberlin, be-
tween whom and the lieutenant a warm
friendships existed.
The only time there was ever any dan
ger of the bond between them breaking
was when Chamberlin rendered a decision
against his friend that the latter thought
superlatively rank. 1t seemed that the
prince Of epicures and the Kentuckian
We're walking, in the northwest one day,
and coming TO Thomas Circle. the former
paused TO breathe a bit, and looking at
the bronze figure, said: There is the fin
est equestrian statue in Washington and
l doubt whether there is any finer in the
world. He continued TO praise it, his
companion agreeing with all he said.
A few nights later Senator Beck of Ken
lucky, John Chamberlin and Lieut.. Young
were seated about table in Johns estab-
lishment, and by chance the subject came
up. The lieutenant launched out into
eulogy of the Thomas monument, and inn
mediately Senator Beck entered a very
sharp negative. He declared it to be
very poor piece of work, indeed, and criti-
cised 1t severely: The defender of the
statue got animated, and remarked thai
the senator was dead wrong, and he'd
leave 1t to John Chamberlin to decide
which was right. the loser to pay for
champagne supper.
The Blue Grass statesman agreed, and
Chamberlin was asked to render a YER
dict. To the utter horror of Young John
said: why, Of course, Senator Beck Isl
right-its as sorry a piece of botchwork
as was ever dignified by the name of
statue. There is nothing artistic about it,
and no judge of art will say anything in
its favor"
After Senator Beck departed Lucien
Young turned on Chamberlin, savagely
You old humbug, why did you decide
against me? Didn't you say less than a
week ago that it was The finest of all the
monuments here?
And so it is" quoth John.
What do you mean. then, by going
back on that opinion?"
"Oh, it's this way; you can't expect me
to ruin myself for friendship. You are

PopuIarity,of the Navy.


The people of the country have always
felt great pride in their navy. and their
pride in it is greater than ever since its
magnificent victory in Manila bay. That
achievement deserves to be ranked among
the great naval contests which has made
the record of the navy brilliant one. I,
is true that the enemys fleet Vas not the
equal Of ouSlaet in either ships or guns,
but it must not be forgotten that our fleet
entered a hostile harbor that was protected
by forts and mines, and that the Spanish
ships had the assistance Of the forts. The
fact that the torpedoes in the harbor were
not exploded doesn't lessen in the least the
credit due to our fleet, because Commodore
Dewey took the chance of encounterlng
them.
Since the construction of the new navy
began money for it has been voted rather
grudgingly, because Congress has held tie
opinion that we had no more need of a
large navy than a large army Besides,
ii costs a vast amount of money to build
and equip a modern battleship of the first
class, and the expense of maintaining such
a ship is very large. Battleships and
cruisers cannot be tied up to a wharf when
they are not needed. To keep them effect
i've they must be in commission all the
time, and there must be squadron drills
and target practice and costly experiments
with guns and power.
1t looks now, however, as if the present
war would satisfy Congress that our navy
must be greatly enlarged-that 1t must nct
be second to that of any other nation. We
are becoming such a great nation, and our
interests are becoming so extended and
varied, that in future we shall have more
to say about questions which relate more
particularly to the affairs of other nations
than we have heretofore and consequently
we shall want TO be in a position to speak
with authority when we do speak We
have never been quick and imperative in
demanding redress of wrongs suffered by
our citizens at the hands of other nations.
though we have always managed to Sc
cure redress when we have become con-
WINGED that We were entitled to it, but It
is probable that in the future we shall be
more aggressive in securing a settlement
for grievances. Having an effective and
costly navy public sentiment will insist
that any injury, however slight. shall be
promptly resented.
If the Manila victory should bring about
settlement of the war with Spain, or if
the navy should have to win another
sweeping victory before Spain would agree
to get out of. Cuba, neither the people nor
congress would think any amount of money
spent upon the navy, however great It
might be, was wasted And it looks very
much as II the main part of the war with
Spain would be fought by the navy.

Hon. Robert Berner, in his speech at
Quitman. reported in our dispatches yes
tcr- uggested that in view of the ac-
tion Zen by merchants of Macon the
Morning News ought to stop asking him
to name the railroads which are violating
the constitution of the state We do not
see that Mr.. Berner's suggestion Is at all
pertinent. Because a few of the mer-
chants of Macon are not satisfied with the
transportation rates of some of the rail-
roads, and make charges which they have
not yet sustained, il doesn't follow that
the roads in question have violated or are
violating the constitution of the state
They are making practically the same
charge that MIR Berner is making. Mr.
Berner does not strengthen his case by
pointing TO some one else who is of the
opinion that the railroads are violating the
constitution.
Mr.. Berner says positively that certain
railroads are violating the constitution
but he doesn't name the railroads nor does
he furnish any PROOF of his charge. We
are not defending the railroads, but in the
interest of fair play we want Mr.. Berner
to produce some evidence that the main
plank in his platform rests upon a solid
foundation. In seeking SO important an
office as that Of Governor he ought to be
entirely frank with the people He ought
not to tell them that the railroads are vio-
lating the constitution unless he knows
they are. ana if he knows they are he
must have more reasons for knowing it
than he has yet made public. Why does
he withhold his reasons? Does he not
know that by Withholding them, or his
evidence he is giving the people the op-
portunity to think that what he states as
a fact is. after all, only a belief of his.
and that he is basing his campaign upon a
condition of affairs which may not exist?
We have heard it said by persons other
than MIR. Berner that certain roads of the
slate were violating the constitution. but
when questioned it was discovered that
they Were making a positive statement
about a matter concerning which they
had no reliable information whatever. IL
Mr.. Berner can sustain the charge which
he makes he ought TO do so. BY doing so.
he would strengthen his position before
the people greatly. Unless he does so they
win be apt to think that he cannot do So.
and that he is making war on railroads
simply because he thinks it is popular TO

The Problem of the Philippines.

Commodore Dewey's victory has thrust
to the front another question, with the dis
eussion OF which the newspapers are now
busily engaged. Il is. what shall we do
with the Philippines? We are not yet
certain that we have possession of the
Philippines, and therefore the discussion
of the question of the disposition TO be
made of them is a little premature There
doesn't seem 10 be any doubt. however.
that in a day or two the announcement
will be made that Commodore Dewey has
taken possession of them.
1t is admitted that we don't want the.
islands-there are about 200 of them
though in any disposition we might make
Of them we should, in all probability, re-
tain sufficient territory for a coaling
station. The Philippine insurgents
have an idea that they want
a government of their own, but
those who know something about them say
that they are utterly unfit for self-govern-
ment 1t is doubtful if any party in this
country would favor helping them set up
a government of their own. To help them
in that direction would be TO become re-
sponsible for a very doubtful experiment
Spain, of course. wants the islands.
They yield about sl4,QOOOOO of revenue an
nually, the most of which is spent in main
tanning Spanish rule, but the officials are
Spaniards; hence the greater part of the
revenue goes into the pockets of the
Spaniards.
We shall have to have a settlement with
Spain some of these days. and the Philip
pines may be a good asset for that pur-
pose. We don't want her territory, but
we may want her to pay the debt we have
incurred in forcing her out of Cuba. She
may consent 70 get out of Cuba and pay
all claims for damages proven against
her. provided we restore the Philippines
to her If she doesn't want to pay our
price for them some one of the Powers of
Europe will pay it. We shah not have
any trouble in disposng of them, only
we must not get into trouble with the 9TH
er Powers of Europe on account of them
They are very jealous of one another and
have some peculiar ideas about what they
call the balance Of power, We can de-
pend, however upon our diplomatists to
avoid getting the country INTO trouble
with other nations if we should under

of more value to us

Closing the Purse.

beIore Mr.. Croker went away to Eng
land the other day, he told the controller
of New York city-at least il is alleged
that he told him-to make such a SHOW
ing of the city's debt that under the con-
stitution' Of the state the city couldn't
issue any more bonds. Whether Mr.. Gro
ker gave such an order as that or not the
controller issued a statement which shows
that the debt limit of the city of New York
has already been greatly exceeded. Hence
the public works which have been begun
have been stopped, and, it is alleged
many thousands of laborers have been
thrown out Of employment. The laborers
and contractors, on account of this state
of affairs do not feel very kindly towards
Mr.. Croker. They openly charge that his
purpose in having it appear that the city's
debt limit has been exceeded was to pre-
vent the rapid transit scheme from be-
ing adopted-a scheme in which he is not
interested, It being a public work. II is
asserted that Mr.. Cookers friends are in
terested in the surface and elevated
roads.
been exceeded the city cannot issue bonds
for an underground railway. But has the
debt limit been exceeded? The controller
says yes; many ex-officials say no. 1t
seems that the controller, in his list of the
debts of the city. has included all the
contracts which the city has made, con-
tracts which will not be finished for many
years. This, it is claimed, is not right,
and so the question, as to whether or not
the city has exceeded. or even reached, its
debt limit, will it is said, go to the courts
for settlement In the meantime, how
ever, rapid transit has received a set
back from which it will not recover for a
good while and the city laborers are say
ing that Tammany will hear from them
at the next election.
