The policy of the Italian Government is
very liberal toward contractors for naval
vessels In 1895 the Ansaldo Company at
Sestri Ponente, near Naples, obtained the
contract for an armored cruiser to be
called the Garibaldi. When the ship was
launched the contractors received an of
fer from the Argentine Republic, and with
the Italian Governments approval the
ship was sold to the South American re-
public, where she is now under the
original name. A second Garibaldi was
likewise disposed of to Spain, and named
the Christobal Colon-a name not nm
familiar to the people of the United
States. The third Garibaldi was turned
over to the Argentine Republic and nam
ed the Puerridon and the fourth Carl
baldi, ostensibly building for the Italian
navy, may likewise be disposed of. She
was begun in September, 1898, and launch
ed in nine months. The ship is an i'm

The largest drydock in Germany is he
ing built at Bremerhaven. 1t is 1922 feet
in length, go feet in width at entrance and
will have nearly SO feet of water over the
sill at high tide, making it possible to
dock ship of the greatest draught at
any stage of water. 1t is constructed Of
concrete and brick and will cost about
Sl,5OO,OOO, toward which the Government
contributes $600,O00 for which it secures
the usual right under such conditions of
utilizing the dock for war vessels in the
event of war or pressing necessity. The
city of Bremen contributes $500 900 toward
the new dock and a steamship company
has made arrangements for docking its
steamers, which will insure an annual
interest of per cent upon the outlay by
the city.

Admiral Dewey appears to have valued more the
spontaneous outburst of welcome he received in
Boston than all the grand parades and ceremonies
that were prepared for him in New York In the
course OF his speech at Boston he said "The ovation
which was given me last night 1 believe has never
been equaed in the lifetime of any of us, At any
event, | never saw the equal of it" The admiral
should now come to San Francisco and see how
easy we can beat Boston

The erroneous idea seems to prevail in
this country that the good gunnery ex-
hibited during the recent war with Spain
was due to the fact to much attention
and large expenditures in our navy on
this very important object According +o
the statement made in a recent issue Of
the Army and Navy Journal of New YORK
the total cost of the naval ammunition
expended during the Spanish-American
war was not one-fifth as great as the
amount expended annually in the British
navy in practice. 1t cost $45, 900 in shells
and powder to destroy the Spanish SQUAD
ron IN Manila Bay, being at the rate of
IS so per round, and the running fight off
Santiago cost only about $1,000 or at the
rate of $14 25 per round

n GOOD PAN.

Much Is said in favor of the merit
system which prevails on the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad. 1t is said
to be more extensive and far-reaching
in it's effects than any merit system yet
attempted by other western roads. The
plan begins to operate as soon as the
applicant has his name entered upon
the books of the company as an en-
ploye. He must in making application
satisfy his superior officer, or the one
who approves Of his employment that
he is of good moral character and pos
sesses a fair education-an ordinary
education applicable to ordinary bust
ness affairs. If he secures more educa-
ton after his employment so much the
better for him. The new employee finds
at the start that the drink habit is not
only discouraged, but his upward path
will be much easier to climb if he
avoids it. He also finds, without any
particular rule being brought to bear
upon him, that he is encouraged to pay
his debts and remain out of debt. The
keynote Of the system, according to the
president of the company, is a desire
that the employees should have content

to be Interpreted authoritatively. But
the Council has lodged it by providing

mas Day or Good Friday shall not be
for private gain or by way Of trade.
The matter has been simpl.t1cd by the
Council explaining the scope of the IL
censes it proposes to grant, and the
conditions imposed make it pretty GER
tain that the concerts cannot degener-
ate into mere speculations for private
gain. There was, of course, a petition
from the Lords Day Observance Socie-
ty in favor of retaining the Puritan
Sunday, and the Rev. Fleming Williams
contended that by permitting the AL
hambra management to let their thea
ire to the Sunday League the Council
had stultified itself, and ought to hold
the whole matter over for reconsidera-
ton, but the Council was in liberal
mood and his protest was disregarded.

To the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
I was surprised to see in the Sunday
Register so captious and contemptuous
a criticism of the prevalent interest
shown in that noble Eastern poem, the
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the mar
Vicious translation of which has placed
the name of Edward Fitzgerald by the
side of Carey, the translator of Dante.
1t is indeed tribute to the beauty
and truth in thought and setting of this
unique poem that it Is no sooner put
into the hands OF the people than its
claims to universal attention and adj
miration are acknowledged in Denver,
(and why notO-it may be In Midtown
and in the Klondike-, though it may
well not be on the stools of our city
penny-a Liners, with whom it is far
cry to the Omar Khayyam cult.
Are the bright minds and natural Gull
tivation of the graduates Of the public
schools and colleges Of our land to be
held up to rdicule by some bowler Of
the gospel of smartness because they
have the intuition to seize and read with
love one of the master poems of all the
ages rendered into English by the I'M
approachable Fitzgerald? If so. I agree
with the Register writer that it is poor
everybody"
Let the people have Omar Khayyam
clubs or Browning clubs or Josh Bill
lings clubs, or even Register Book Re-
view clubs, If by any means they may
find out what of worth or worthlessness
Is in these writings. r. H.

Il ENDING AND 4 SENTENCE.

ooh, you lepidopterous ignoramus!"
Thus saith the Register to the Journal
and Courier. A court-martial has been
held and the finding is that such talk is
sassy" to superior and is unbe-
coming an official and gentlemanly
paper. The sentence is that the Regis
ter shall continue publication for at
least six years, meanwhile maintaining
It's subscription price and its advertis-
ing rates, and that it shall occasionally
be made to eat it's own words, embalm-
ed. The sentence is approved by the
and Courier hopes that in six years the
Register will be older and wiser.
