From the Baltimore American (Rep)

That the Governor of Illinois does not
appear concerned at the action OF the
grand jury is not at all surprising, as
technical points are very apt to be brought
up which may lead to the abandonment
of any prosecution of the chief executive
of the commonwealth. Prosecutions OF high
state officials in this way are very apt
to be abandoned before they come to trial;
but. whatever may be the result, lit must
be conceded that Tanners action was in
direct violation of the laws of the state,
and that he was responsible, in no small
measure, for the bloody work at Virden.

In West Virginia the Democrats have a
majority of seven in the House of Repre-
sentatives, while the Republicans have a
majority of six IN the Senate. On Joint
ballot, therefore, under present circum-
stances the Democrats would have a ma
jority of one. But that is far from mean
ing that the Democrats will be able to
elect United States senator to succeed
Faulkner. The Republicans are going to
try to overcome the majority of the Dem
ocrats In joint ballot by unseaiing Demo-
Gratis in the Senate, and the Democrats are
going to try to prevent them from accom-
piishing their purpose by unseating Re
pubicans in the House Which party win

a question of which can unseat the most

operated for n big decline were left again. Natu-

prBLIC WORKS FOR PUBLIC NEEDS.

The disgraceful revelations concerning one
II the timber drydocks in the New-York Navy
Yard are followed by reports that some of the
buildings there used shops and epgine-rooms
are in an unsafe condition and ia need Of i'm
mediate repair or rebuilding. In this there is
nothing surprising, nor any suspicion Of crooked
work such as there was in the case Of the dry
deck. The building or buildings in question
have simply fallen into disrepar through the
natural course Of wear and tear and age Never
theess. the fact is significant of what appears
10 be a growing evil In our naval system,
which If not checked, may one day become
disastrous.
When the construction Of n new navy was
decided upon the Government naturally turned
TO private shipbuilders to do most Of the work.
They had facilities for doing it which the Gov
errment had not. The shipyards Of John
Roach the Cramps and others were fully up
10 date and comparable with the best in any
country, while the Government yards, because
of years Of idleness imposed upon them by
Democratic parsimony, were lacking in mod
ern equipments The private builders did their
work well. There is no disputing that There
were no finer vessels afioat in any navy than
those John Roach built was building before
Democratic malignity prosecuted him INTO
bankruptcy and then TO his grave. There are
none finer than those which other yards have
built since thar time and are now building
And it is good policy TO have n share Of the
ships thus built, in order to encourage ship
builders In various parts OF the country TO
keep up a plant able 10 turn out not only mer
chantmen but frst-class men-of-war.
1t would be good policy, however. 10 have n
considerable share Of them built in the Gov
ernment's own yards for n similar reason, that
is. in order to keep the navy yards In repair

construction or repairs that may be required Of

hem That they have thus been kept up Is to

them That they have thus been kept up Is to
be seriously doubted In fact. recent revela-
tons show that they have not. The tendency
las been to depend upon private yards to do
the chief work. and TO be content with the
splendid ships they turn out which make so
fine a showing. and TO neglect the less snowy
but not one whit less important work OF pro-
vding drydocks and workshops for keeping
them in repair. The launching of great ship,
with futterng flags and smashing champagne
bottles and applauding mutitudes Is n far more
gorgeous spectacle than the scrapins of barna-
Giles from her hull year later; but If the latter
is not 10 be done whenever needed it is idle to
do the former.
And now that the Navy Yard here is deprived
Of the use Of the drydock on which the Gov
eminent spent so much money. the cool propo-
slton is put forward in Congress that the
Government shall give up trying TO have dry
docks Of its own, but shall pay instead big
subsidy to some private dock, Of which IT may
then have occasional use. No scheme could be
more mischievous. Its execution would strike
n fatal blow at the efficiency of the service.
The next logical step would be to give up the
Navy altogether and depend upon the Use OF
such ships could be hired on occasion. and
to disband the Army and make use of men ell
gagged from some private detective agency. NO;
on this point we may well learn lesson from
Great Britain. If have forgotten the past
GCings of our own country Great Britain has
ships built in private yards. But she has
comparable number built ia Government yards,
and she keeps the latter yards fully up TO the
highest standard of efficiency in all respects.
That is what this Government should do. 1t
should have at least two yards on the Atlantic
and one on the Pacific Coast at all times fully
able TO do any naval work that might be re-
qured. from Tightening a rvet 10 building n
