The SILK Frauds,

The most unpleasant feature of the
silk frauds in the New York custom
house. is the fact that no one can tell
how long they have been in progress.
or to what extent the Government has
been robbed. For aught we know to the
contrary. the work has been going on
for years. and as the imports of Japa-
nese silks at New York amount to from
seven to ten million dollars annually, it
Is easy to see that the losses may run
into very high figures.
In this case a double wrong has been
perpetrated- The Government has been
defrauded Of revenue. and the honest
importers have been made to suffer by
the discrimination in favor Of the dis
honest ones. When the matter first came
out it was said. partly by way of extern
uation. that it is sometimes very difficult
10 distinguish the different grades of
goods from each other as all or nearly
all are of mixed material. This, as The
Times has heretofore observed, is not
much of an excuse. Mere mistakes in
the grading should be as likely to occur
one way as the other, and not all of
them result in differentiation. Nor
should errors Of this sort be of frequent
occurrence if the inspectors are compe-
tent men, which they ought to be. But
the idea OF mistakes is effectually ex-
ploded by the circumstance that the in
vestigation now taking place shows
that the goods We're rated far below
their true weight, and that many cases
were passed without actual examina-
ton.
No investigation which now takes
place can throw any light on trapsac-
tons so far past that the imported
goods cannot be reached for re-exami-
nation. II those now examined show
fraud. we can only indulge the painful
belief that the criminal scheme has
been in p:agress for a long time. The
investigation is still incomplete. and
when ii is finished it Is probable that

Queer Figuring on Crops.

Some people are actually figuring that
the shortage of the corn crop will be a
positive gain to the farmers. 1t is said
that the advance in price will be great
er in proportion than the loss in guam
tity, and hence the gain upon a final
adjustment of accounts. If that method
of calculation be correct, then il neces-
sarily follows that the greater the de-
struction of the crops the more magni-
ficcnt will be the farmers profits. OBJ
viously if a shortage of five hundred
million bushels means certain amount
OF additional profit. a loss of a thousand
million bushels must double the gain.
and perhaps more than double it, Ac-
cepting this line of reasoning as sound.
We find ourselves completely lost in a
mathematical maze when we attempt
to estimate the enormous gains the far
mers would have made if their crops
had all been destroyed
The trouble with this mode CT fSur-
ing is that ii treats the farmers as
class and not as separate individuals.
1t may be true that half a crop is some
times worth more money than a whole
whose crops~ have been damaged but
slightly, or not at all, are better off than
they would have been with full crops.
But such damages always mean that
some farmers. have either lost their
crops in toto, OF 50 nearly that they
have nothing to sell, and therefore cam
not keep even or make a gain through
the higher prices.
Again, though the total nominal value
of a crop may suffer no diminution flom
a partial destruction, it does not follow
that the purchasing power Of the far
mers as a class will be maintained. In
such a case the man with a good crop
is not going to buy any more than he
needs. while the one whose crop has
beef ruined will naturally cut down his
purchases. Ten farmers each with a
thousand dollars surplus will buy more
from the country merchant than five
will who have two thousand each. 1t
is simple nonsense to attempt to fig
ure out gain To the farmers from the
destruction of a large part of their
crops. But it is amusing to note the
enthusiasm which the great trade jour
nails always display over prospect Of
good crops. and the promptness with
which they will somersault when the
crops are damaged and figure that
there has been no loss after all.

A NEW pEACEMAKER.

The new pride of the navy, the rapid fire
seven-inch gun is a wonderful piece of
ordnance. and that, too. with moderate
weight and moderate calibre.
The largest of the great rifles of the
United States sea service is the thirteen
inch, which forms the main turret bat
teries of battleships. The smallest is the
four-inch, the light and handy quick-fire
weapon, which bristles from our gun
boats. The seven-inch rifle comes in fair
ly half way between the two extremes.
1t weighs thirteen tons, is about fifty feet
long, burns sixty-six pounds of smokeless
powder, and hurls a 1855 pound projectiie
with a muzzle velocity of $500 foot sec
onds and a muzzle energy of $500 foot
tons. With that energy tho projectile
would penetrate eleven inches of nickel
or ten inches of Krupp steel armor At
would penetrate six or seven inches Of
armor.
The seven-inch gun is new creation of
Admiral ONeil and the Ordnance Bureau.
1t is heavier and more powerful weapon
than the six-inch lG9-pounder, which COM
poses the main batteries OF our latest ar
morclads 1t is a lighter and handler
weapon, and can be fired much oftener
than the eight-inch 259-pounder which is
carried in the turrets of many of our bat
tleships and armored cruisers. The eight
inch gun is rather too ponderouS for the
successful use of rapid fire mechanism
admiral O'Neil believes that the United
States Navy will have in the seven-inch
gun the most effective piece of all around
sea artillery ever fabricated All that is
to confirm his judgment.-Boston Jour
nal.

Thieving by Electricity.

thief lately arrested in Madrid had
an electric battery connected with a me-
tallic plate which he carried IA his right
hand. When he approached mis- intend
ed victim he would shake hands, and a
shock was the result. Then the thief
would do his work and get away before
his victim recovered. This sounds like
part of the plot of a detective story, but
ii is said TO be fact.
1t is rather strange that electricity
has not been more generally used as a
means of protection from thieves and
other rnarauders. Nest readers of Jules
Verne will remember the metallic rail-
ing round the entrance of the .'Nauti-
lus,' which carried such terror and dis
may TO the savages who grasped it and
found it charged with electricity, and
in the electrical display at the World s
Fair there was a similar railing which
was the source Of endless fun. 1t
should not be very difficult matter to
put a similar guard around objects like
ly to be of interest to thieves, so that
any burglar DESTROYS of getting at the
valuabies would find himself caught
and held by electrical power until such
time as the guardians of the law might
arrive.

tiIouIniion Statement.
British Strike sympathy.

AS one can readily learn from the
tone and expressions of the British
press generally, public opinion in the
United Kingdom is in strong sympathy
with the American steel strikers. But
nobody need delude himself with the
idea that the feeling is dictated by any
sentiment of good will toward our labor
ing classes. ii is merely the manifesto
ton of hope that the strike may con-
tinue and spread such havoc in our
steel industry that il will be permanent
ly crippled, and that thereby our man
ufacturers will be unable again to COM
pete abroad with British mills, and
Americans may once more be compelled
TO become customers Of John Bulls OBJ
solete plants.
1t is not a nice spirit, but it is one
which is early English-early and often.
in fact. In this case the cynical hope
for our adversely is doomed to early
disappointment. We do not pretend to
know how or when the strike will end.
But events move rapidly in this coun-
try, and people do not fight for the fun
of fighting. The struggle between the
Morgan combination and the Amalga-
mated Association may wax furious and
destructive, but we do not believe that
it will become a matter of months like
the engineers strike in England. One
side or the other will give in as soon as
ii becomes evident that further HOSTILE
ties will be useless; or the matter may
terminate in compromise. However
that may eventuate, we shall be sur
prised if American steel mills are not
taking orders again in the United King
dom and Europe before next spring.

OFFICIAL FAVORITIsM.

The effect of official favoritism is shown
by the ideas that obtain in Washington on
the subject of Admiral SIMPSONS rela-
lions to the Schley Court of Enquiry. 1t
is held that Sampson should be repre-
scented before the court by an attorney.
1t is suggested that as Sampson is i'll the
court should be abandoned. 1t Is even
proposed that since excitement is likely
10 affect SIMPSONS health injuriously the
sitting of the court should be postponed.
While all this shows a recognition of the
fact that the trial of the officer whom
Simpsons frieads have sought to destroy
cannot fail to place the department ia
voritc in bad light it is highly amusing
to observe that even in his trial on va
rious charges involving neglect Of duty
and timidity Schley is thought by the pol
idcians TO be playing second fiddle TO
Sampson. The Schley enquiry will throw
some light on the performances of Samp-
son and his clique. but they are hardly
in position to repeat the trick that they
played a SantiagO-to elbow him out OF
the way and claim all attention for them
selves This is to be Schley's day in court
and Sampson can have no part in ii eX-
cept as a wtness.-Chicago Chronicle.

Max O'Rell makes a statement, in one
| of his heart-to-heart talks with his
readers, which is really worth the at
| tention of the American public for more
| reasons than one. He says that in
| France, If a man possessed of a fortune
| and at the head of a family is inclined
| TO be a spendthrift. the family have a
right to cali council and obtain a re-
| straint which prevents him from having
the entire control of his estate. There
after he cannot sQuander the principal
He is only allowed the interest, and if
he is very reckless, sometimes even that
is paid over TO his wife. French wives
and children are thus protected from
| the depredations of man who is bent
| on his own pleasure or whims and has
no regard for the future of his family.
! The same thing can. of course, be
| done in this country if the owner of the
| fortune is insane. but it might be con-
| sidered an infringement Of personal lib
| erty to go as far as the French law
| does. Yet there is really no reason why
| a man determined to throw away his
| fortune in riotous living, or in risky
| philanthropic experiments, for that
matter, should be allowed to do 1t if it
will prejudice the interests of his fam
| lily. Sometimes the men themselves
would not, in their calmer moments, OBJ
ject to being restrained from reducing
themselves and their children to beg
gary.
Such a law would be of most benefit
to people in the middle classes, those
who are neither very rich nor very
poor. In such families there is often
! one member who in a few years throws
away in reckless dissipation or vision
airy schemes, money bequeathed to him
by his ancestors or acquired through
some stroke Of good fortune by himself
The children whom he has brought into
the world are Obliged to grow up with
out a proper education, and begin where
their ancestors began, without the an
cestors' advantages of simple habits of
living and little competition. Those
who, by industry and economy, have
striven to give their children better
training and greater refinement than
they themselves had, have a right to
expect the tradition they have estab-
lished to be carried on. AS to the sons
of the very rich, it may be doubted
whether their fortunes are as great an
advantage as supposed; but a fortune
of several millions is not likely to be
dissipated by one drunkard. 1t is the
man whose grandfather was day la
borer, whose father rose to an honor
able place in a profession. and who in
herited a modest little property which.
with care, would have held its own-it
is this man who wrecks himself and his
family easily.

The painstaking and Industrious Mr..
Conger, our Minister to China. after sub
jecting his post to the absent treatment
for time, is back in Pekin. His admir-
Ing fellow-citizens IN his home State of
Iowa did not offer to nominate him for
the goyernorship, as the Administration
hoped they would. and he is still in the
diplomatic service. 1t is doubtful now If
any further attempt will be made to set
rid of him, although there is every de-
sire to do so. Perhaps his transfer to
some nice. unhealthy spot like Monrovia
might accomplish the object, by indirec-
