According to the New York Herald
passenger lists of outward-bound liners
show how seriously the war has affected
ocean travel. The harvest season OF the
big transatlantic liners usually begins
early in April. and lasts until the end OF
October. 1t is different now. A marked
falling off in bookings and sailings has
taken place in the first and second
cabins. Travel in the steerage seems to
have been little affected. Some OF the
agents estimate that there will be $4,000
less TO cross the ocean in the first and
second cabins than during the corre-
spending season last year.
The Herald thinks it is not so much the
fear of travelling on the high seas du-
ring hostilities as reluctance to leave
the country at this time that is keeping
thousands of persons from taking their
usual vacation abroad.

PRESS CENSORSHIP"

The Dispatch believes the reputable
journals of this country should and will
cooperate with the government in sup
pressing information with respect to the
movements of our warships. But the
so-called press Censorship amounts to
little else than delaying news matter.
A correspondent may be prohibited from
sending telegraphic dispatches from Key
West, but he may mail his specials TO
some other telegraph office and have
them telegraphed from there. And so,
too. though our cable companies are
pledged not to handle any matter con-
corning our ships, unless it be furnished
them by departmental officers, there's
nothing to hinder our newspapers from
getting cablegrams via Canada.
AS we have said, press censorship
means nothing worse than delay. Ours
Is a great government, but unless 1t as
sumes despotic authority to suppress re-
fractory newspapers it cannot prevent
them from publishing any news that they
please to publish.
However. we reiterate that we are in
favor of sustaining the government
newspaper policy as far as possible. we
are not "kicking." We only want TO
show that it is not in the power of the
government to prevent the papers from
getting the news if they are inclined to
90 TO the necessary trouble and expense
to have it sent i'm a roundabout way.
That the wish of the government as to
naval news is being respected at this
time we attribute not to the so-calied
censorship" but to the patriotism and
fine sense of the men who control the
reputable journals of this country.

which are manifested today. 1t involves
some expense and trouble and of course
il it appears that it does not lead to
larger vote Deing thrown it will not be
repeated. The ideal Republican caucus
would be one in which every Republican
voter took part. Of course that is never
likely to be realized, but there is no
reason why much larger num-
Der of Republicans should not
take part in them than has been
the custom. Something more, how
ever, than attending the caucus and vot-
ing is needed, to secure the best results.
There Emust be intelligent and disorimi-
Mating selection Hence the voter should
prepare. himself by inquiring into the
character and ability of the men who are
prominently mentioned as candidates.
In the case of municipal caucus where
all the candid ties are residents OF the
city there is no difficulty in getting all
the necessary information on these points.
Having acquired the Information the
voter should act upon it according to his
| best Judgment, Candidates are some
times so evenly matched that there is
| little room for choice between them, but
often times the difference is so marked
| that the. voter will have no difficulty
| in choosing. If a voter believes man
unfit for the Office to which he aspires he
should not vote for him under any con-
ditions. Party usage is entitled to some
| respect, but it ought never to be observed
| if the result will be the nomination of an
unfit candidate. Because an unfit man
has had only one term is a pretty poor
reason for giving him another. Of course
as the caucuses are partisan only Repub-
| licans should be selected, but as between
Republicans selection should be made
of the one whose qualifications appear to
be the best. That ought to be the rule of
procedure of every Republican who votes
at the caucus. Where it is the rule we
shall very seldom get incompetent men in
office OF course mistakes sometimes will
be made, because the judgments of men
are not infallible, but when the test of fit
ness is honestly applied by the great
mass of the voters it will be very seldom
what we shall get positively unfit men
into either branch of the city council, as
we not unfreouently do now.

AS rule the people have behaved with
great caI1nness and discretion since the
disaster to the Maine While a great many
have entertained a strong suspicion that
the explosion was the result of design
there has been general. disposition to
wait calmly for the result of the inyesti-
CATION which the government will insti-
tute to ascertain, the facts of the case.
Members of Congress have maintained
the same calm and dignified attitude, and
manifested slight disposition to indulge
in fireworks. There has been one con-
spicuous exception, and only one. Sena.
tor Mason of Illinois did, on Friday, in
dulge in an unseemly TRADE, in which
he was guilty of insinuating that the
naval board which would inquire into
Che disasters could not be trusted to tell
the truth. 1t was an outrageous insinn-
alton, land was only. applicable on the
assumption that the senator had entirely
lost his head. With few exceptions, the
newspaper, too, have refrained from SEN
sationalism, and their editorial utterances
have been discreet and calculated to aIlay
the excitement OF course the two New
York papers which live chiefly by the ex-
citement they can create, have done their
best to make it appear that the explo-
sion was the result of Spanish plot, but
they had SO thoroughly discredited them
selves in the past that their shriekings
have produced little impression.

At the Republican caucus in one OF
the wards today the name of a woman
will be presented as candidate for school
committee This is a perfectly proper
proceeding and nobody can. allege any
well founded objection to it. Many OF
our citizens believe that women on the
school board will prove material help
to the schools, and SO believing it is not
merely their right but their duty to con
tribute to that end by their votes. If a
woman should be placed upon the ticket
in any Of the Republican caucuses tonight
she oughtsto receive the full Republican
vote on election day.

What the significance is of the orders
that the war department is now giving,
it is impossible to say, but it is not
strange that under the circumstances the

they were really imperative at this time
II would have been the part of wisdom
to defer them until the present excite

If the Investigation of the Maine disas-
ter should show that the vessel was
wrecked by the explosion of the magazine
and should create a strong probability
TINT the magazine was fired by spontane-
GUS com bustion in the coal bunkers, the
navy department would be likely to come
in for some severe criticism. The danger
of an accident from this cause has been
recognized for some time. Both on the
Cincinnati and New York there have
been fires in the coal bunkers, and in the
case of the former the magazine narrowly
escaped. Some weeks ago board of naval
officers recommended certain precautions
that ought to be taken to guard against
this danger. Apparently the location OF
the magazine in the Maine with refer
ence to the coal bunkers YVES the same as
on the Cincinnati and there was only a
single bulkhead between them.

Hon. DAVID j. HILL, Assistant Sec

ing address on the expansion of civ
ilization" at banquet. Referring to
the disposition in some quarters to
harp on the word imperialism. Mr..
Hill said: "A malignant disposition
could not have selected worse word
than imperialism. A better word,
which expresses the true condition, is
expansion. It is not a new one and
the idea is not novel. 1t has existed
since the inception of national
growth. Civilization most go on I'M
til there is not one province, one is
land, enc individual upon which its
benign light does not fall" He an
swered those who argue that it would
be violation of the Constitution for
US to set up form of government
over any people, without allowing
them to choose its form as we'll as its
oficials,b saying: Nations as we'll
as individuals must pass through the
period of minority. 1t is SO with this
nation See how closely our forefath-
ers guarded the right of franchise.
All constitution II lawyers agree that
the franchise is not natural right,
but legal gift. The natural rights
are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, and | cannot believe it is
an evil for the stars and stripes to
float over any people, and it is there
fore our duty to extend the blessing
