How Kentucky indicated Herself.

To THF FrrToR or THE SrS--,rir In q most abba
and interesting and otherwise accurate account OF
the present architectural status Of new warsh!ps
you speak of the Kentucky the single vessel that
was launched and christened with water.
II is tiuo that Miss bradley carried out the wishes
of the several temperance organizations of the State
over which her distinguished father presided as
Governor. but nobody who witnessed the launching
OF the Kentucky at Newport News last year will
consent to let the bottle of water used by the fair
sponsor hgure as an exclusive liquid in the event
When the big battleship started down tho ways
some two or three Of tall gentlemen with long
coats ana black slouch hats reached into their star
board hip pockets brought forth bottles Of various
shapes and sizes, AMI sent them flying against tho
iron sides at the vessel
There was smashing Of glass and the rapid spread
OF an odor which almost put u stop to work in tho
shiryard for tn" Of tho day and then the tall
gentlemen went soemnly back to their train. and

The Fourth in the wigwam.

We have been accustomed for years TO
look to Tammany Hall on the Fourth OF
July for some leading or significant ex-
preston OF Democratic sentiment. What
do we got this year,
In the first place, from the Hon. RICHARD
CROKER the unnecessary assurance that his
heart Ia with Tammany now and always"
Recent disclosures had prepared the public
to believe that Mr.. CRoKER's heart Ia n.y.
pothecated for its full value IN that par
ticular quarter
In the next place. an authoritative an
nouncement Of the purposes of Tsmmany's
management. The official orator Of the
occasion, o gentleman from Alabama Of no
very great political fame, produced the
Hon. AUGUSTUS VAN WYoK as O favorite
of the South, hailed him as the original
dlsooverer Of the ANTITRUST issue, and
many words. that AUGUSTUS was to be
Tammanys candidate for the Democratic
nomination for President on . platform
OF no trusts and no national expansion
" 1t will not do for u.s." said the orator,
to invelgh against trusts, which is nothing
but industrial Imperialism, and not con-
denim colonial imperialism" This senti-
ment prompted one citizen In the audi
ence to get up and shout: Gus Is our
next PRESIDENT"
What q dreary Fourth for Tammany It
would have been, II heart message from
the Hon. RICHARD CROKER and the pres
entation Of AUGUSTUS VAN WVoK as Presi-
dental candidate were the only incentives
to enthusiasm
But that wasn't all. One Of the speakers
happened to be the direct and forcible Mr..
Hoaa OF Texas. and apparently with
generalization and malice that gentle
man converted tho carefully arranged
Van Wyck primary into ratification
meeting for BRYAN and the old platform.
The mere mention OF the name OF the
leader OF 1895 was enough. The rank and
file OF Tammany arose and howled for
BRYAN in a fashion that must>have chilled
to the tricuspid valve Mr.. CRoKER's perma-
nently present heart.
Thus does Tammany continue on the
glorious Fourth to contribute to the COM
mon stock OF political information. al
though not always in the way the manage
ment intends.

Boating and Bathing.

The Fourth of July marks the beginning
OF the season when accidents, fatal and
otherwise, resulting from boating and bath
ing are more numerous than at any other
time Of the year.
In their eagcrnCss to enjoy to the fullest
extent the cool and exhilarating water.
bathers are likely to venture so far out
among the breakers that muscle and pluck
will not enable them to got back. Delicate
yet courageous persons will remain in the
surf longer than good Judgment would die
tate, and the habitually indiscrcet will
take chances which would probably I'M
nerve some OF the veterans. The beaches
attract annually great many persons
OF the younger generation ambitious to
share in the delights of an ocean dip. In
striving to initiate their elders in skill and
courage, they often exceed their powers Of
endurance and self-posSesslon.
In the course of the summer. also, 1t
must be expected that rowboats and sail
boats will bring misfortune to Abme Of the
pleasure seekers who prefer boating to
swimming. There has probably not been
summer in the memory Of the oldest
resident OF New York when several lives
have not been lost in these waters through
the sheer carelcssness Of would-he skip

Tho Returning Volunteers.

The first of the troops in the Philippines
who are to be mustered out under their
terms OF enlistment are already on their
way homcwnrd, and within about two
months, perhaps even by the end of
August, the others will have followed The
Western States and Territories will give
them warm welcome, but the whole
country Is equally under obligation to
these faithful and patriotic troops.
Their claims to public gratitude rest not
only on their endurance OF hardships and
on their intrepidity In battle, for this we
expect OF American soldiers; but they are
founded also on the loyalty and uncorn-
planning patriotism with which they
continued in the performance Of their duty
beyond the time for which they had agreed,
remaining in the field until others GOULD be
sent to relieve them, or until no injury
could result from bringing them home.
This credit az truly belongs to those regu-
lars who. having enlisted specifically for
the war with Spain, were entitled to their
discharge months ago, when the ratiaca-
lions Of the treaty Of peace were ex-
changed, But they formed only parts OF
regiments. were enlisted individually, and
could not have commanded the influence
which might have been exerted by the
solid organizations Of volunteers, repre-
senting great States, had they chosen to
bring this influence to bear for their earlier
return. As fact they allowed spring to
pass and summer to come, while many OF
them will remain with the oolors past mid
summer. Weeks and months after their
terms Of enlistment had expired, they en-
lnh-
swamps and thickets. under tropical suns,
many Of them laying down their lives, too,
in battle.
1t is this noble spirit on the fighting line
that has crowned with honor the career OF
the Western volunteers The country will
not forget it.

English in the Philippine Schools.

The free public schools that were opened
In Manila on Monday will differ in three i'm
portant respects from any other schools
ever established in the Philippines. In the
first place there is no doubt that the teachers
will be fairly well paid and thus competent
instruction may be provided. All the
teachers in the few schools supported by the
Spanish Government were 30 miserably re-
munerated that mention of the fact has
been made by nearly every writer on the
Philippines.
In the next place these schools will be
absolutely unsectarian.
One hour day will be given hereafter to
instruction in the English language. What
study is better adapted to develop and
quicken the Intelligence Of the native
youth? For some reason the friars we're
opposed to the study OF Spanish In the
schools. The Government decreed that il
should be studied but no attention was
paid to the mandate. Instruction In no
Western language has been within reach OF
any Filipino child unless his parents de-
sired to give him special tuition and could
afford that luxury.
The masses of the so-called civilized chill
dren, In fact, have had no education except
little reading and writing and smatter-
ing OF the catechism. But a new era
dawned on Monday for millions OF Malay
boys and girls In this and future genera
lions. The blessings Of education are ex-
tended to them by a great Government,
as duty 1t owes to them and to the future
OF their race.

making them selves liable to a charge OF insub-
ordination but he says:

now be worn and weary. They have stuck to

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUE-Sir: In an
editorial in THE Sun Of yesterday. comment
ing on the primary enrolment In New York
city, you unconsoiously give an impression
that the results OF the new law touching en-
rollment In other cities are the same as those
noted in New York. This Is not 80. l append
a schedule showing tho enrolment on days Of
registration last year In all OF the oitles to
which the law was applicable. reduced also to
percentages both In each city and for each
party. These figures were obtained by letters
addressed by Messrs. Root, Cravath and myself
last December to Gen. RodenbouRh for New
York city and the county clerks in the counties
in which are the other cities. This enrolment
was slightly increased by the filing OF declara-
tions last Decent Der befor the imam md ed law,
the increase being In New York city about
5000 Republicans and 1000 Democrats. pro-
portion which seems to pertain througho the
State. How much the increase has been dur
ing May and June do not know. but the fig
ures given are instructive OF the fact that,
aside from New York city. very large proper
ton Of the voters have enrolled either in one
party or the other. Why the enrolment ia
smaller in New York city than elsewhere | do
not undertake to say. but in Buffalo, at least
under the new law. the enrolment Is very
much larger than was the registration under
the old system
The figures inclosed have not, so far as I
know. been published. aud they may be Of
value to you should you desire to use them.
