Success in about every undertaking de-
Ponds upon those chosen to fill the respon-
sibIe positions. The failures in most I'M
dertakngs are due to the incapacity OF
those chosen to manage them.
Doubtless the whole country has noticed
that Americans who visit Havana-sena
tors and repre- sentatives as well as pri-
vate citizens-agree that Gen. Wood is
doing wonders as governor general of
Cuba. He is the right man for the place.
His predecessor was a good man for
some things, hut not for governor general
The President made a mis- AXE when lac
appointed the first governor general, aud
it is probable that he thought at the time
of the appointment that he was maxim g
a mistake If Gen. Wood had been ap-
pointed at the start Cuba would be much
nearer ready for Independence than she is.
Gen. Wood was an admirable admins
trative officer at Santiago. The reputation
he made there secured for him the posi-
ton he now occupies. He has tact and
Judgment, and he knows the thing that
ought to be done to bring about the best
results.
We have no doubt that the Cubans are
anxious to have a government of their
own and are particularly Gesirous that it
shall be sue cessful II is a question wheth-
er they have the experience to govern
themselves. Undoubtedly they have con-
fldence in their ability to do so. Unless
the very best judgment were exercised,
however the island would be in the
clutches Of civil war within a few months
after an Independent government had been
established unless the ship of state had a
strong and wise hand on the helm.
The Cubans could not 90 a wiser thing
than to elect Gen. Wood Their first Presi.
dent. He could do moro than any other
man, perhaps, to establish the new repub-
lie on firm foundation. 1t is Ger, ain that
he would do his utmost to make it a sue
cess. It is doubtful, however, II the Gu
bans could be induced TO do anything so
sensible as TO make him their President.
In the first place they would think that by
electing an American they would admit
that they had no man among themselves
sufficiently able TO fill the office OF Presl-
dent In the second place they would be
afi aid that an American might not be true
TO the interests Of Cuba. While. there
fore, the election Of Gen Wood would in
all proba biuty, be the best thing that
could happen for Cuba there is very little
If any probability of his being asked to
accept that position.

THE BATTLEsHiP KEARsARGE.

The navy department is concentrating
itself on the result of the test Of the new
system of mounting the main batteries of
battleshps The batteries are located in
supefposed turrets. The Kearsarge is the
only battleship in the world that has this
system. One of the double-decke1 turrcts
is located in the forepart and the other
in the aft part of the ship. In the upper
turret there are Two S-inch guns and in the
lower two 13-inch guns. The advautag 8
of this system are greater concentration
of the ships battle energy and an in
crease in its gun fire intensity"
All of the officers who were present at
the test-that is the operating of the tur-
rets and the firing of the guns-made en-
thusiastic reports in favor of the new sy-
tenn. The system originated in this coun-
try and is wholly American. That II
greatly increases the effectiveness of a
battleship there does not seem to be any
doubt in the minds of Admiral Sampson
and other naval officers.
Indeed Admiral Sampson is Of the opin-
ion that there is no warship in the world
that is the equal of The Kearsarge. As
that other battleships that are now being
constructed for our navy will have double
decked turrets like those of the KearsargA.
and that other nations, in building battle
ships, will begin TO follow the United
States
The test that was given the Kearsarge's
turrets was not a complete one
because some of the electrical
machinery for handling the tur-
rets was not in working order. F,r
instance all of the four guns of the tur-
rets were not fired at one and the same
time. The opinion was expressed by the
officers, however, that all of the guns
could be fired at once without injury 20
the ship Still, until this test Is made
the order that the new battleships shall
be provided with the superposed turret
system will probably be withheld
The theory has been advanced that a
shot striking one of the turrets might put
an entire battery out of use. This theory
is well worth considering. 1t is claimed
however, that the turret would have to
be hit in certain way to disable the en-
tire battery. Besides. il is said that the
double turret is in no more danger of b.
ing rendered useless than a single turret.
1t would seem as If the machinery 70.
controlling the double-decked turret would
be much more complicated and delicate
than that for handling the single turret
and therefore would be much more likely
10 get out of order during an engagement.
Naval officers, however, have answers for
all of the objections which have been rails
ed, and are so enthusiastic in support OF
the new system that II is probable that
the superposed turrets will be feature of
batt'eships which we build in future

THE GRAND JURY HEARD FROM.

The action taken yesterday by the
United States grand jury in the Greene
Gaynor case, is not at all surprising. The
effort thus far unsuccessful, running
through three months and more, to bring
the defendants from New York to answer
before the United States Court here, the
indictment found against than. amounts
to a national scandal 1t is not to be wen
dered at therefore, that the grand jury
asks Congress to enact a law by which
persons indicted in one state can be taken
from another state, under proper legal
process. to the court in which the indict-
ment was found without unnecessary de-
lay.
This question, as pointed out by Judge
Speer has nothing to do with the guilt or
innocence of the accused parties. 1t has
only to do with the proper administra-
ton of justice. In this Greene-Gaynor
case, a United States commissioner de-
layed for two months deciding whether
the accused persons were the ones de-
scribed in the indictment against them,
and now a United States district judge
has had the matter before him for SIX
weeks and has not yet come to a deeds
ion whether he will order them sent to
this city or set free. The grand jury, i'm
its presentments, calls attention to the
fact that since Greene and Gaynor were
arrested in New York, for the purpose of
bringing them here to answer the indict-
ment pending against them an alleged
embezzler was indicted in state court
and brought back from Morocco. whittier
he had fed. And it seems that persons in
dicted in the United States Court in this
state cannot be brought back from New
York In three ana a half months! Surely
there must be something wrong with the
judicial machinery of the United States
Clearly the recommendation of the grand
jury to Congress. for legislation that will
prevent such delays is timely.
This action Of the grand jury will call
the attention of the whole country to this
Greene-Gaynor case. There are members
of Congress who are anxious to get a
chance to have something to say in re
spect to it. They think there is need for in
vestigaton in addition to that which was
had before the Garter courtmartial They
have held off, however, because of this
case against Greene and Gaynor But the
extraordinary delay in getting the accused
parties before the court here may cause
them to think that their inquiry should
take wider range than at first contem-
plated. If politics is interfering with the
administration of justice the country
ought to know it.
As matter of fact, there ought not to
have been more than a weeks delay from
the time the warrants were served on the
accused parties in New York and their
arrival here. If there is a reasonable ex-
PLANTATION of the extraordinary delay in
requiring them TO obey the writs which
have been served upon them-a delay
amounting to three months and a half and
still CONFERENCE.-The country would like to
know it.

The Republican party as the party in
power in this country, is face to face with
a terrible responsibility; and Boston is ag-
itated to know what that party
is going to do about it. The trouble is this:
The Republicans have passed a tariff law
which places tax of so per cent. or more
on works of art-pictures, statuary, etc.
Now, Mrs. Jack" Gardner of Boston owns
some tons of statuary and square miles of
pictures in Europe, and they are all Art,
with a capital A. She desires to bring all
of this Art to Boston, where she proposes
to build a marble palace to house it in.
But she refuses to pay the 50 per cent.
duty which the Republican party says her
Art must pay, and says if the tariff is not
changed at once so that her statuary and
pictures may come in free, she will remove
her residence to Europe. 1t is the posi-
bility of Mrs. Jacks" doing anything SO
cruel that has got Boston worse agitated
than she was when Cervera's fleet arrived
at the Canary Islands.
