speech OF Daniel Dougherty when NOM
mating Grover Cleveland twelve years
ago: Inc part so quoted was but a small
part OF Mr RahilIy's able speech. In the
reporting of the proceedings Mr.. Rahilly's
speech passed through the hands of ste
nographers and typewriters, and the quo
tatlon marks around Dougherty'S remarks
were somehow dropped out, and the crit
les are now jumping on him and claiming
ne pretended they were original with him.
One Of the really good things gotten
off by critic Of the late James An
thony Froude while that gentleman was
engaged in his Fecturing tour in this
country some years ago was that Mr..
Froude was innocent of the meaning of
inverted commas. This ignorance of
historian might be regarded as more
or less objectionable; out when its vic
tim is a mere stencgrapher or type
writer there is not a word to be said.
1t would indeed be ordinarily unreason-
able TO expect an ill-paid scribe of the
purely clerical variety to know anything
about quotation marks, any more than
1t would be to expect to hire all the
virtues for two-and-sixpence a day.

difficult to understand who it is that is

THE METHODISTs AND AMUSE-
MENTS


The outspoken utterances Of some Of
the leading members of the Methodist
Episcopal general conference on the sub
ject of prohibited amusements, while they
failed to secure the lifting Of the ban,
undoubtedly placed before the conference
in a new light the effect Of such prohibi-
ton on the church DR.. Bradford P. Ray
mond told the members that the church is
losing large numbers of young people
owing to the prohibition of dancing, the
ater going. card playing and similar
amusements. He declared the young peo-
pie are going to other churches and that
the regulations are practically a dead let
ter now, creating duplicity and undermin-
ing fidelity. Young people were even
leaving their homes, which had become
irksome to them by reason Of the prohibi-
ton of amusements, and DR.. Raymond de-
manded more freedom for the youth, not
only in the interests of the church, but
for the sake of the homes and the well
fare Of the young people themselves.
The conference committee which had
considered the resolution to lift the ban
on amusements made a majority report
in favor of doing so and minority report
adverse to the resolution. The conference
rejected the majority report and accepted
the minority report, showing that they
were not prepared to allow the young
people to dance, go to theaters or play
cards. But 1t is not improbable, in view
of the expressions Of opinion on the sub
Ject. that some steps will be taken at the
next conference to modify the rule and
to leave its rigid observance optional with
individual church members. Such a nIan
would not tnjure the prejudices or offend
the consciences of the old members and
would afford much relief to the young
people as well as to those church members
who by not sternly discountenancing the
prohibited amusements are placed in 4
false and embarrassing position and are
rendered amenable to church discipline.

SENSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS.

The present grand jury is evidently a
decidedly thoughtful body. It's work has
thus far been done along the most prac-
tical lines. and its recommendations are
| all of a character which conduce to the
welfare and better government of the
city.
The principal recommendation of the
grand jury is that which relates to the
necessity of establishing new city and
county Jail. Mayor Kiefer is the author
of the proposition that the Jail be es-
tablished in the city hall building. 1t IS
one which has not met any considerable
degree Of public approval and could only
be sustained on the theory that the need
ed funds are not available for the con-
struction of new local Jail.
The Globe has repeatedly insisted on
the view Of the matter which the grand
jury has just presented. A new munic-
ipal building is absolutely needed It
may be made to take the form of an ad-
dition to the present city hall and court
house, or made to cover the present site
of the Jail. or it may be constructed else
where. But the need of it is universally
recognized, and the measure presented by
Mayor Kiefer will not and does not meet
the requirements of the situation.
1t is waste of public moneys for the
city and county to be paying rent for

public disposal on which to erect the
needful additional building The central
station, like the present Jail, is, as has
been pointed out at close intervals for
the past ten years by public bodies and
private individuals, a local disgrace and
nuisance. There are a number of Off
cials and departments of local govern
ment scattered around the city in private
buildings. They can readily be furnished
with the necessary facilities If the action
which the grand jury suggests is taken.
The water board should be housed in the
municipal building The central station
and the municipal court could be trans
ferred to such a building with advantage
to the city, to 1idgants and prisoners
alike: The present quarters of the NIL
nicipal court in the basement Of the CITY
hall have been a public discredft since
they were established. The fact that one
part Of the court is at the present mo
! ment held in the cellar and another in the
attic Of the city hall furnishes an elo-
quent commentary on the public parsi-
mony which lies at the base of the policy
which we have been pursuing in this city
for six years or over.
The board of county commissioners
should take this matter of local taiI un-
der consideration at once 1t has, we
believe, already rejected Mayor Kiefer's
plan. Let it go further and take steps
at once to remove the unsightly and
dangerous old shack which at present
does duty for a county jail. and make
some present provision for the safe keep
ing of prisoners until the community can
furnish itself with the much-needed ad-
ditional facilities for housing it's public
departments.

CASTLES IN SPAIN.

The people who are discussing the ad-

Pago. Guam and Cavite have evidently
given small consideration to the question
of the establishment of fortified coaling
stations If the United States is to be-
come a naval power, and is to assume

BILE and part Of the manifest destiny Of
this country, they had better make haste
slowly in building forts and establishing
arsenals on Islands 1000 miles distant
from the shores of America, or they will
be liable to lose them before we are in
a position to maintain them.
Fortified coaling stations cannot be
dropped down promiscuously at different
far-distant points: They must be linked
together link being added to link as the
chain is formed so that one shall form the
base for the next beyond. Establish such
stations at Pearl Harbor. Pago Pago,

nance of a fleet of war vessels on the Pa
cific coast sufficiently powerful to act in

in time of war. 1t would mean the main
tenance Of another fleet as large as our
present navy, the establishment and
maintenance of dockyards and arsenals
as extensive as those on the Atlantic
coast, naval stations and training schools
and all the rest of the paraphernalia of an
effective navy.
In case the United States became en-
gagged in war with a powerful enemy, it
would not be possible to maintain such
far-distant coaling stations or to defend
the new island possessions without such
base on the Pacific coast. And if it re-
mains the policy of the United States to
maintain the Monroe doctrine, a question

appears doubtful it will De absolutely

chain of coaling stations is established,
and no naval base exists on the Pacific
coast. and for persons to indulge in
dreams of flying fortified coaling stations
at Guam. Pago Pago and Cavite at the

PROTECTING THE PUBLIC.


It is an invaluable principle of public
policy which is established by the su-
preme court in its decision of the con-
troversy growing out Of the defective
condition of the bridge over the grounds
of the Minnesota Transfer company.
When public officials feel Themselves at
liberty to dispose of valuable public rights
and privileges to favored individuals
they rarely if ever recall the fact that
there is a power reserved to the people
themselves which will not sanction Off
cial misconduct when it approaches pub
lie proftigacy or suggests the total aban-
donment of the public interest by public
servants.
This great principle is altogether too lit
tie known among the people themselves,
and too little resorted to by them in ex-
treme cases of official thoughtlessness.
compla!sance or corruption It operates
as safeguard in the last event, showing
that true public policy draws the line
beyond which public officials may not
step in the disposal of public property or
personal rights.
In this case city officials contracted with
the Transfer corporation to maintain
bridge over their tracks In repair ''for
all time" at the public expense. 1t does not
appear what equivalent the city was to
receive for this kindly lifting of it's bur
dens from private corporation; but it is
plain from the text of the decision that
the attempt has been made by the attor-
neys for the corporation on the argument
Of the case to sustain the questionable
contract on the ground that it was agreed
on as the result of a compromise. But the,
higher appellate court, like the lower
court whose decision it afllrms, refuses to
accept any such condition as sufficient

A LITTLE LOCAL POLITICS.

Acting under the new city charter.
Mayor Kiefer yesterday made his hrst
appointnents-those of members of the
city building commission, which, under
the charter, is empowered to draft ne"
building law for the city.
The charter provides that the cOmmis-
sion shall be composed of five members,
two of whom shall be architects two
builders and one plumber the purpose
in view being to secure the services OF
practical building men in formulating a
practical and just building law.
The names Of the appointees on the
commission are A. F. Gauger and Clar-
ence H Johnston, architects; william
FoeIson and George J. Grant, building
contractors, and John H. Shea, plumber
The mayor said there was no considera-
ton given to politics or politicians in
making the appointments
The commissioners are in Office from
and after the appointment, and are al
lowed to draw s. per day for sixty days
only out Of each year.
The chances at the present time seem
to be very favorable toward Frank Bat
ley being appointed secretary Of the
police commission. Mr. Bailey has al
ways been hard worker in Democratic
circles.
Ex-Judge WilIrich has expressed the
opinion that the new city charter is de-
fective in its requirements that the judges
of the district court appoint the mem
bers of the library board. He says the
requirement is extra judicial. and the
judges may refuse to act for that rea-
son.
