We are much in need of such an insti-

According to Navy Department Off
cials there is a great shortage of officers
for the navy, So marked, indeed, is
the deficiency that three ships are laid
up in ordinary, not because they are
not needed badly needed nor be-
cause there is any lack of enlisted men
but because there are not enough com
missioned officers available 20 make up
their complement. Aud under the
present aristocratic system which OBJ
tains in the navy there is no hope of
supplying the deficiency until next
class graduates from the Naval Academy
For no one not a graduate Of that insti
tuition may hold a commission in the
United States navy Professional abil-
ity and technical education of the high
est order are unavailable to advance a
warrant officer to commissioned rank in
the navy, though in the army every
may hope to be a major general if he
displays the qualifications for commits
sion. It is time that this absured and
unjust rule should be abrogated Dur
ing the Civil War the country was glad
to avail itselfof the services of the vol
unteer naval officers. The same thing
should be done now, aud in addition the
way to promotion should be open to
every man who wears Uncle Sans uni
form, be he coslpasser or blue jacket.
All knowledge Of seamanship is not
monopolized by the alumni Of Annapolis
academy. It is absurd to say 50 even

Telephone Ordinance.

It is sincerely hoped by the public
that II q special meeting of council 10
held next Tuesday evening due regard
will be shown for the sentiment ex-
pressed by the public in opposition to
the recommendation Of the committee
ON ordinances in favor of the telephone
franchise. Councllmen have certainly,
by this time, come to understand that
the passage OF the ordinance as 1t
stands will be about the most unpopu-
lar thing that they could possibly un-
dertake.
II any opposition telephone company
is to be given the privilege Of doing bus
mess In Wheeling, no terms will be toll
Grated that do not compel the newcomer
to comply with all the requirements
that have been assumed by the Central
District and Printing Telegraph Com
pany. whose perfect system Of under
ground wires and splendid service to
It's subscribers could not be improved
upon.
The property holders Of Wheeling are
in no humor to have the streets further
encountered by poles and wires. There
are too many of them now. Talk OF
competition is wen enough, but compe-
titlou must not be permitted at the e&-
pense of the peoples welfare in the re-
spect mentioned. and in violation of the
public convenience. It should be under
ground wires or nothing, and guar
antee that the company asking for this
precious privilege shall show its relia-
billy and comply with an ordinance
framed to guard every point. The eyes
Of this entire city are upon council and
the public will expect It to do its full
