In t"o wears more. or about 1905, he will De a captain, receiving $45o0 annually, ana De fore the year 1909 he will be comno1ol e MT. Hobson's place in the line is likely to ha next after Lieutenant Commander George l.. Dyer, the latest promotion to that grade, and between Lieutenant com mander Hobson and the ranking rear au- miral there will be 219 officers. Ihe re- tirements, however, of these oHceIs "ill he so rapid that before 1910 no less than 199 will have reached the age or oS' anu will therefore be retired, and IL IS qu1te likely that voluntary retirements ana Gas ualties will bring the vacancies up ID nearly 219. In this event Hobson will be second on the navy list, and if the grades of admiral and vice admiral are re-estap- lished and continued, the present Lleuten- ant Commander Rittenhouse will De aa- r,,iraJ and Hobson vice admiral. Barring accidents the roster will be as follows;
 Admiral, H. o. Rittenhouse, age, os' sal- ary $13,G00. oo o,
 Vice admiral, R. P. Hobson' age Ss' sal ary 5000. 4b
 lieutenant Lucien Young will be the youngest commodore-only 56-but all the rear admiraIs and commodores VIII De gray boards, none less than 57 and the first on the captains list will De ot years of age. By 1913 Hobson will have become e admiral of the navy and remain there' II his life is spared, for twenty years or until 1883, when he may retire Tor age II he chooses.
 r. is not to be wondered at that Hob son should choose to enter the line again with such a prospect. Arthur 5. Hon, who heads the list of ensigns, graduated with Hobson; his signal number would be 546, counting the numbers in eacn grade ahead of him, and he VIII be 325 numbers behind Admiral Hoosoh, and will only have reached the middle ol the list of lieutenants or at the pest heau the list of that grade. The presence ot an admiral for twenty years obstructing the flow of promotion is, of course, hardship to ambitious officers, but then his case Is a very unusual one and he merits all that Congress or the country can offer him as a reward for his heroism.

WASHINGTON AND HER FESTIVAL

n s rule the city of Washington gives to Con- / \ gress her undivided attention. Her people have little in the way of business or pleasure to distract their minds from the dongs of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and, accordingly not much else is talked of.
 At the present time, however, Washington is com paratively indifferent to Congress and thinks of the statesmen only when she wishes appropriation The thoughts and the talk Of her people directed almost wholly the proposed celebration of the tennia of the foundation of the city This festival is tc take place in Iooo and preparations for it lively under way
 One of the means by which the Washngtonians are arousing their enthusiasm the subject to an even greater fervor is by delvng into the annals of the past and bringing to light the predictions con corning the city that made by the fathers of the Republic. With the large, divine words of the l golden-mouthed orators of old they cheer them selves, and, looking around upon their city, they exult in the fuhllment of those lofty ideals.
 Some of these old time words are of interest to the whole country When Congress assembled for the first time in the newly founded city, November Y, ISoo President Adams sent message full of cheer ulness in which he said: May this territory be the residence of virtue and happnessl In this city may that piey and virtue, that wisdom and magnaniity, that constancy and self-government, which adorned the great character whose name 1t bears be forever held in veneration! Here and throughout cour- try may simple manners, pure morals and true re- ligion flourish forever"
 Washington in her centennial celebration wishes to show the world how nearly she has lived in accord ance with this prayer of the patriot Adams. It is, perhaps for that she has for time turned her attention away from Congress and perhaps after the appropriation has been received she will put Congress in the background altogether.
 Under any circumstances the people of the whole country will enjoy the Washington festival We have had celebrations of New York wealth, of Chicago enterprise, of Omaha push and let us close the century with the celebration of city that exuts in being 'the residence of virtue and happiness

ARGUMENTS
 THAT WON
From the Eureka Standard

From the Eureka Standard.
 The campaign is over and the interest in the result of the recent election has died out, yet the history of the struggle for supremacy in this State will be in teresting to the people for some time to come. The great daily papers of San Francisco-The Call, Chronicle, Post and Bulletin-did much to educate the people and show the voters the true inwardness of the situation. Mcguire, though personally a clean man, was the embodiment of the worst political principles that ever cursed State, and his defeat was a blessing to the com monwealth.
 The paper which did the most to bring the salient points in Magulre political career to public view was The Call. That paper was edited during the campaign by a masterful writer, or corps of political writers. The publica- tion of Maguire's withdrawal from the Democratic party and the analysis ot his political career constituted the most powerful arguments used against hlm during the campaign.
 The country press of the State haS more influence in deciding an election than the great city dailies; but the country press in this campaign took its cue from The Call, to larger extent than most people realize. The argu- ments which caused at least S5,000 old line Democrats in this. State to vote against Mcguire were mostly repro duced from The Calls editorials, though each of the other dailies mentioned did good and efficient work, not by any means the least effective editorial Work being done by the Post.
 The paper which in the recent cam- paign did most to lead the press and people to the conclusions which result ed in a great Republican victory, in the opinion of the Standard, is the Sar | Francisco Call.

YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY.

n GIRL Of fourteen arraigned for burglary there / \ being two counts against her, pleaded naively that on each occasion of transgression she had been drunk. The plea not regarded sufficient and she will be sent to place where intoxcants are inaccessible to children and the opportunities for burglary few.
 Yet youthful depravity ought to be shielded from the consequences of error certainly depravity more mature, This child stole few trinkets and articles of no particular to her Rosser killed an innocent man, stranger, who could never by any possibility have wronged him. His only excuse was that he was drunk on a bad quality of liquor. The jury let him go, and slobbered sympathy as he departed.
 However. a girl burglar, making the plea of in toxication constitutes novel and disheartenng spectacle child Of fourteen, properly safeguarded would hardly know that drunkenness existed. She certainly would not know it through having felt with in her it's promptings to evil It is well there exists for such unortunates places of refuge, for after season of kindly guidance the child may emerge into the world with some idea to right and wrong. Her case is sad but, let il be hoped, not hopeless one

Legal techncaity shines out in all its beauty in the case of J. F. Turner After exhaustive trial this was found guilty of perjury and sentenced to ten years. The public mind was not disturbed by the thought that wrong had been done him. either. However, Turner got reversal on the ground that the indictment had failed to state that the perjury was willfu Of course this is different When perjury is accidental or committed by a man in hypnotic trance or while he is walking he is not to be blamed.
 The local columns recte the arrest and imprison- ment of man and woman for having failed to keep up payments on some goods they had bought on the instament plan. If the circumstances re- lated an outrage has been committed, and action for false imprisonment would lie The criminal courts have more than they can do in attending to their own business.
