It has been the custom to give a cruiser or battleship a silver service, costing from slOOoO. which the cruiser New York re- ceived, to s4,500 which the New Orleans carries. Such a gift comes from the locaH- ty honored in the name of the ship. More than twenty of the new navy have been honored in this way. Such silver service is rarely, if ever, used. It is kept in a glass ease in the cabin as a rule. although in some cases 1t is sent to safe deposit vaults, in order to avoid the risk of its care in 8 long cruise. In case of war it is plainly but of place.
 Secretary Long suggests a change in such gifts. In the cases of the Alabama and Wisconsin he suggests that each receive from the people of her sponsor State in- stead of silver service, a bronze figure in bas-relief to be attached to her forward turret Visitors and crew could alike see such gift. It would not need a glass case, and it would not have to be sent to safe deposit vaults. MT. Long suggests that the gift to the Alabama be d figure typical of the South as the gift to the Wisconsin should be typical of the North.
 The object of the proposed change Is to the man behind the gun as to the man in command of the ship. The one needs to be reminded of the patriotism at home as much as the other; the one would be as gratifed as the other, and the one has oftentmes as well-developed q sense of the beautiful as the other. The suggestion of the Secretary of the Navy deserves con- sideration. There is in 1t much sense and practicalitY and democracy.

New Railroad Systems.

c. P. Huntington says there are rail- roads enough, but this must be construed to mean that there are as many as MT Huntington wants, for the assertion is not true in any other respect There are not railroads enough, and there never will be- ITO a great extent railroads have supplant- cd highways, and the need Of them will increase as popula ton increases.
 MT. Huntingtons statement is shown to be incorrect by the formation in this sec- tion of a new system that extends from the Potomac to the Gulf, forming one of the twenty-five great systems in the eoun- try. We refer to the Seabonrd Air Line, which is seeking an entrance to this dis trict. This system promises to be one of the strongest in the country
 The times seem to be unpropituous for Hhort independent lines, but there are sev- developed into "syetems." There is the hsobile and Ohio, which may yet be a rival pf the Illinois Central as a north-and-south line.

DEVIOUS BOSTON

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Captain R. T. Montfort, the postmaster, is the possessor of a fund of humor and doesn't mind telling a good story, even. if the joke happens to be on himself.
 A year ago in company with his family he visited Boston and was a guest at the Fremont House. One morning, the rest of the party being absent on a shopping tour, the Captain made up his mind to go out and see the Hub" He determined to walk about aimlessly for three hours, gather in all the sights and then take the shortest route back to his hotel. The Cap tain sallied forth, and for the stated time wandered through the streets of Boston, gazing into shop windows, looking at monuments and enjoying himself thorough ly. At last tired out by his long walk, in which he calculated he must have covered at least ten miles, he stepped up to stal- wart police office standing on an adjacent corner and said:
 officer can you direct me to the near est route to the Fremont House?"
 quzzically for moment and then replied:
 Well. sorr, ye moight cut acrost tn sthrate t tn front dure, but if Oi were you, Oi'd walk over tn crossing, be- yant
 Captain Monfort had walked for three hours and had wandered back to point opposite the front door of his hotel.

THE ARMY'S MEDICAL
 SYSTEM CRITICISED

Washington. August Miss Margaret Astor Chanler of New York has forwarded from Manila to the Secretary of War a se- were criticism of the army's medical sys- tenn in the Philippines, alleging that there is a lack of surgeons, a lack of nurses and a lack of medical supplies. including such articles as sheets. and asking that she be allowed 300 sheets for emergency distribu- tion. Secretary Root referred Miss Chan ler's letter to Surgeon General Sternberg, who has been making thorough inquiry into the various points raised. He has completed and today submitted to MT. Root what is regarded as a complete refutation of the arraignment of the medical service in general and of the points of arraignment made by Miss Chanler.
 The correspondence has not been given out but it Is understood to. be Of rather a spirited character. From the standpoint of the medical officials here Miss Cham ler's criticisms lose much of their force from the fact that supplies were distrib- uted two days before she arrived Miss Chanler's specific criticism on the lack of sheets and her appeal for 300 sheets to meet pressing needs is considered unac- countable, in view of the almost lavish provisions which are said to have been made.
 Secretary Roots disposition of Miss Chanler's charges has not been made known. He has now before him the origi- nal letter from Manila and Surgeon Gen eral Sternberg's comprehensive rejoinder.

SHE KNEW HIS BUSINESS

From the Philadelphia Post
 For many years Aqueduct Commissioner Maurice J. Power of New York was police justice. Politics, however, is not MT. Pow CTS livelihood. He Is a manufacturer and connoisseur of bronze art work During the last year of Mir. Powers service on Ire police bench he received q call at his house one evening. formal dinner was in prog ress. The visitor failed to make her ertand clear to the servant and the justice's daughter went to the door,
 ''The judge sint me Up io the slan1 this mornin' an I want to see him. said the woman.
 What judge?" askedNM Power.
 "I disremember his name, mum"-by this time the justice and two of his friends hal gone into the smoking-roo near the door, where the dialogue was clearly heard = but he makes thim images up in Twenty fif th street.
 At this point the justice interrupted the dialogue. The woman Cid not get her son off the island, but she collected the rent for her flat and enough ready money to keep her until her waywGrd boys sentence had expired.

It will further be conceded that this vote was cast almost solidly in 1896 for McKin- ley and Hobart. At least 50 per cent. of it was so cast. and probably 90 per cent. It is stated freely that the proportions of the vote will be nearly, if not quite, re- yersed this year in the nine contested states named. The change will be induced by the imperialistc and militaristic lean- ings of the present administration, un- swerved by fears of currency changes, be- standard in any event.
 Any such change would change the elec- toriaf vote of the country beyond dispute; for change of 24,O0o votes would have changed in 1896 the result in Ohio; change of 5000 votes would have given Indiana to Bryan and Sewall a change of 72,000 votes would have listed Illinois in the Demo- cratic column; and like changes of 52,oOO and 29,OOO would have transferred, re- spectively, Wisconsin and Michigan to the Bryan side.
 ! It will at least be seen that there are great possibilities in the German American vote. It is vote that is not strictly speak ing clannish. The German who left the Fatherland to escape mlitarism and im- perialism has a horror of such things, and he may, acting independently decide that this year is the year of all years to nip it in the bud in this country If he does MT Mc1<inley's second baking is dough, sure enough.

Kansas City. Who will say that this frag- ment of today may not be in the course of the next century a system also
 MT. Huntington will find that this coun- try will want railroads just as long as business and population remain expansive in it. Railroad men who possess railroads are not good judges of such a question, and it is plain the question will not be submitted to them. When section wants a railroad it can generally find way to get it, even if MT. Huntington objects.
