CLERICAL FAILURE.

The Record Union, reiterates its
statement that careIessness and ig-
norance. notably among election Off
cials, are on the increase. Many in
stances of this have been cited in these
columns. Here is a fresh one. The
Political Code requires that when
Board of Supervisors canvasses the
vote of a general election it shall as
certain from the returns five certain
facts. The first requirement, that
standing at the head of the list, is:
Il. The whole number of votes cast
in the county, This specification is
required by the law for purpose, and
presumably for necessary purpose.
The fact can be ascertained only by
taking the totals Of the poll lists. Poll
list books are furnished for the ex-
press purpose of recording the number
Aof votes cast, and the name of every
voter. The sum total cannot be ascer-
tanned by adding together the votes
cast for a single office, since that pro-
cess never gives the true total, for
many men omit to vote even for the
head of the ballot. But with the law
staring them in the face, the officials
paid to make these entries in this
county canvassed the returns and con-
cluded their labors, resealing the pre-
cinct packages after five or six days
or more of labor, and did not ascertain
the total vote of Sacramento County.
It was a fragrant and stupid omission,
and the attempt to supply the defect,
as was done. by adding the votes cast
for Governor is not compliance with
the law. Primarily the fault lies with
whoever prepared the blanks for the
counting clerks Of the Supervisors,
since no column was left for the pre-
cinct total vote. The accurate ascer-
tainment of this total vote is valuable
for historical purposes in the first
place, and in adjusting boundaries of
precincts in the second place, so as to
put the proper number of voters in
precinct The assumption should be
that in this day and age of enlighten-
ment clerical capacity could be had ca
pable of following SO plain law as
that under consideration.

1t is novel news, but news all the
same. that on the scholarships Of the
British navy masters are now en-
ployed who teach the naval apprentices
music with special reference to vocal
work. 1t has been found that the
ability to sing well by crews Of war
ships is a decided advantage both in
drill and discipline in time of peace,
and in action in time of war. The we'll
trained chorus of ship in battle is
said to have a marked good effect upon
the ships people, and to enable them
to work and fight more effectively
The record-union., 1898-11-27

Unquestionably the Secretary of the
Navy is right when he SAYS that the
transport service for all the future
should be put into the hands of the
Naval Department Civilians will
scarcely have two opinions upon that
subject. 1t viii be economic to do so
and greatly facilitate transport of
men and conserve their health and gem
eral good. That men of the sea ought
to have full charge Of all matters rela-
tive to carrying soldiers on the sea
would seem to be a truism.
The Secretary urges the adoption of
House Bill 10,403, of the last session,
which provides for amalgama.ion of
the officers of the line and the engineer
corps of the navy, for adding ninety
nine officers of the new line to the
navy, and for a regular and constant
flow of promotion; for reorganization
of the Marine Corps; for change of the
title Naval Cadet to that of Midship-
man; for adding 100 warrant machin-
lists to the navy; for decrease of the
course at the Naval Academy from six
to four years; for increase of the term
Of enlistment to four years, and to give
to enlisted men the same privileges
granted to enlisted men of the army.
Some other recommendations are re-
ferred to as embodied in the bill but
the foregoing are the chief and carry
their own comment. An important
part of the report is that calling atten-
ton to the injustice of the present sys-
tenn of rewarding officers for conspic-
uous conduct Of gallant character in

The Philadelphia Bulletin" asks:
why should the United States go out

in far off Asia?" It is not going to

difficulties. That which is attained
without overcoming difficulty is, as
rule, valueless to mankind. We are not
going to purchase difficulties by any
adjustment we may make Of the Phil

MENACE TO LIFE.

The fire in San Francisco which de-
stroyed the Baldwin Hotel and The
ater, whether it began in the play
house or in the hotel kitchen, as is
variously charged. reads the old. old
lesson anew to the public, that no ho-
tel should be constructed in combina-
ton with theater The risk as to
the latter is always extra hazardous
The theater has about as definite a life
as has the wooden bridge.
1t has been ascertained that in GER
tain numbers of years about a given
number of theaters are destroyed by
fire. There is uniformity and a regu-
larity in the reported figures, taken
over an extent as broad as a century,
divided into definite groups of years,
which show that the theater has it's
probability of life pretty well deter.
mined. More than that, the theater
directly connected with great hotel
places at risk lives which would other
wise be comparatively removed from
menace by fire.
The San Francisco fire demonstrated
another thing, that the exits of the
theater were wholly inadequate, and
that is probably true of most theaters
in large cities. There are few ex-
ceptions, where houses are so con-
structed that the largest audience can
be safely discharged in a very short
space of time But the San Francisco
press tells us that on the evening of
the burning of the Baldwin Hotel and
Theater the auditorium Of the latter
was only comfortably filled. Yet when
the curtain fell it took seventeen min
utes for the audience to pass out of
the house in an orderly manner.
What, then, would have been the
conditions had the alarm of fire been
given while that audience was seated
in the house? It makes no call upon
vivid fancy to forecast the outcome of
such a conjunction of circumstances.
Hundreds would have been crushed.
trampled to death assuredly, or Grip
pied and manned hopelessly. In one
of our San Francisco contemporaries
it is stated that on the evening In
question, as the audience was leaving
the theater, the crush in the main en-
trance was such that one citizen,
speaking aloud, asked: Suppose an
alarm of fire had been sounded in
the theater this evening, how many of
us would be piled up dead or wounded
in this entranceway The same ques
tion might as pertinently be asked
in relation to audiences leaving ma
jority of public edifces in which it is
customary to assemble large bodies of
people.

battle It now promotes officers de-
serving reward over the heads Of BROTH
er officers who have had no opportu-
nifty. for instance, to participate in the
battles OF Manila and Santiago, though
| their service on other duty was equally
important. In many cases this works
great hardship.
Thus. certain Captains vino partici-
pated in the battle of Santiago will be
promoted at the expense Of the re-
tracy of certain others as Commodores,
who in the ordinary course would
reach the rank of Rear Admiral, and be
retired as such, thus Furnishing them
to the tune of $3.50 year, for that for.
which they are in no wise to blame.
Sometimes the working of the system
sets back those who have been previ-
ously advanced. Thus, Captains who
duct at the battle of Manila, have now
lost their numbers by reason of the pro-
motion of other Captains, who took
part in the battle of Santiago
Under the absurd old system we now
have, it is possible for an officer to
fight gaHantly through a war, gain de-
served promotion and yet by reason of
the advance of others, find himself low
er in credits than he was at the begin
ming of the conflict The Secretary in
sists that a law be enacted setting up
system that will be just, and net rob
one to reward another, a system that
will not exclude from rising also the
Bureau chiefs, who cannot take active
part on ship board, and yet whose SER
vices are just as valuable as those of
any other officers of the navy.
He asks for authority to increase the
enlisted force to 10000 men and the
apprentice force to $500, that cut of
the latter class there may be grown
trained crews for our ships. He urges
that the navy be increased by gradual
addition of ships, naval stations, coal
ing stations, etc., and Of men and Off
GERS and the reasons for this increase
he considers self-evident
Finally, the Secretary asks for power
to order constructed three sea-going
battle ships of 1850 tons. with heav-
lest armor and most powerful ordnance
and to attain highest speed practicable
and greatest radius of action three ar
mored cruisers of 1 200 tons with heav-
lest armor and ordnance; three pro-
tected cruisers of 5000 tons, and six
Sheathpd and conparadt or1IiS.arc Tho
total cost of these ships will be some |
where near $4,000, 900. These viii all |
be needed if we retain the Philippines;
If not then three sheathed and coppered
armored cruisers of 12,000 tons will be |
sufficient to order at this time.

was possible during the war used a
smokeless powder. yet it was not used
on such a scale, or of such degree Of
power as is desirable.
The navy is now fairly supplied with
torpedoes and has adopted tube for
underwater discharge. The work on
gun construction is well advanced for
the % new vessels of the navy under
construction. Some Of these guns are
OF wholly new design, insuring much
greater muzzle energy than is obtained
from guns now in use. The first of
these new pieces will be placed on the
battieships Maine, Ohio and Missouri.
On the three of the new ships there are
to be installed a new type of high power
12-ineh guns, instead of the 13-incn
pattern, as seen on the Illinois. Another
new feature of the ships under con-
struction, is to be the submerged tore
pedo tube. Each ship is to have two
of these. This adoption has been pro-
ceeded with cautiously, since it involves
much danger, but it is believed that the
tubes can now be used with entire sue
cess according to the plans resolved
upon.

part Of the world in which a navy was
employed ever ended with such small
Among the recommendations of the
Secretary Of the Navy is one that
Naval Courts Martial be given power,
under legislation, to summon and ax-
anime civilian witnesses, and that they
be empowered to take dispositions, as is
done in civil cases. There is not dis
cernable any reason why these powers
should not be conceded.
He asks Congress to empower him to
remove the stigma of desertion in GER
tain cases as a simple act of justice to
a large number of veteran sailors and
marines now in the declining years of
old age. He asks that enlisted men of
thirty years standing be given the ad-
vantage Of retirement, as is allowed in
the army and marine service. He ad-
vises that a retiring board be created
for the navy such as is known in the
army, that an officer physically dis
qualified may be examined for retire
ment. He asks that hereafter the ships
of the navy shall be classified accord
ing to tonnage, instead of by the pres
ent system which in many cases relates
to vessels that have become obsolete.
He advises that provision be made by
law for the use by the Government of
devices patented by naval officers, the
compensation therefore being left to
the courts.
He recurs to the much discussed ne
cessity for encouraging entry into the
Engineer Corps. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Record Union" on sew
eral occasions has pointed out this need
as with the increase of modern ships
which are mainly intricate machines,
and becoming more and more complex
the demand is greater for engineers, but
that class of officers The Secretary
says that Chief Engineers may have
four grades of relative rank, but at
present are examined only for one and
that the lowest. He would have ex-
aminations held for each Of the grades,
Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander,
Commander or Captain.
He wishes no further appointments
made Of Professors Of Mathematics. He
would not disturb those now in office,
but thinks it manifest injustice to al
low pensions to this class when they
are exposed to no risks, and do no mil
itary or naval service. He urges fos-
tering care of the Naval Reserve, and
that it be recruited most largely from
those who served in the late war. While
but few lines are given to this subject
it is probably one of the most impor-
tant things to be considered by Con-
gress in relation to the betterment of
the navy.

A BODY BLOW.

Those illustrious disciples of prize
fighting, Messrs. Corbett and Sharkey,
have done mankind distinct service at
last. They have dealt ring attrac-
TONS a blow from which there will
be a very slow, if any, recovery. The
suspicion that the fight in which they
recently engaged was iockeyed has
grown into a moral conviction, though
it may not be legal certainty.
It is pretty we'll accepted that one of
the men came out of the contest or
pretended fight with well-lined pock-
cts. However that may be, the
public is impressed with the con-
viction that it was sold out. 1t will,
therefore, be more chary of encourag-
ing fistic encounters in the future, and
this will tend to dull the appetite for
such entertainment"
The sport cannot be maintained
upon the patronage of the sporting
class alone It's contributions to gate
purses must be exceedingly limited.
1t is upon the larger public that the
promoters must rely for heavy door
receipts. This larger class will view
future efforts to draw their coin with
exceeding jealousy; not only because
of this last contest. but because Of the
steadily augmenting belief that most
encounters between pugilists since they
have fallen into the hands of profess
sional managers and show people are
more or less tinged with cheating, and
in many cases with downright fraud.
Prize-fighting is in its decadence, and
the world will be the better for it. But
this is not to be taken as implying
belief that genteel manly boxing. and
the athletic training which equips one
with the ability to defend or to as
sault with the weapons with which
nature endows man. is or should suffer
decline. There is as broad distinction
between the art of boxing as an ath-
letic requirement and a proper and
desirable accomplishment, without bat
tering, slogging or brutality and ex-
cessive call upon the endurance of the
physical powers, as there is between
the seasons of summer and winter.
