CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd)
sarcastically says: There has been
considerable fear lest the changed con-
ditions in Washington should lead TO
the retirement from public life of one
of our greatest patriots and statesmen,
he Hon. Mark Hanna. The loss of
this high handed politician and leader
would. we all know, cause consterna-
ticn in more quarters than one-in none
more so than in those shipping circles
which have organized to obtain gov
eminent money for an industry which
cannot fill the orders already booked.
All apprehensions We're set at rest,
however, when Senator Hanna made
the following statement in the course
of his speech at Delaware, o.. on Sat
urday: Let no yellow journalism or
blatant dema gogues shake your faith
in the conditions of this country to-
day, as affecting those who have the
responsibility. | am not going to re-
tire from politics or public duty. I
have no intention of resigning my
craftsmanship of the National Commit
tee. / am going to stay there and see
Nash and Foraker and others through,
If it takes ten years Nothing has so
treasured and quieted the country as
will this touching announcement of Mr.
Hanna's self-sacrificing devotion to
duty. Anxious patriots may now rest
in peace"

Edwin Gould, son of Jay Gould, is
going to bring proceedings against the
Cooperative Stock Brokerage Company
using his name as that of its presi-
dent. 1t appears, however, that the
Edwin Gould whose name is being
used is not the son of the late mil
lionaire, but clerk, with whom the
officers of the concern say they have a

seems to have been to him a valuable
asset, and it seems a shame he should
be required to yield it's use without a

The criticism to which the City

cropping of which is the proposed bill
to divide the court into two divisions,
might be considerably reduced if there
We're criminal session of the court,
for the trial of misdemeanors, held
every morning. This would require
not exceeding an hour day and it
would save to the people the large
expense of keeping prisoners in Jail
for a week. 1t would prevent, too. the
practice now obtaining among some
of the magistrates, who wait until af-
ter the weekly criminal session on
Friday to issue frivolous warrants.
The defendant then has his choice of
giving bond, for which he is usually
required to pay IS, or going to Jail
for a week. AS things are he usually
pays up; If there were criminal ses-
sion every day he would be willing to
spend the night in Jail. This plan has
the approval Of the leaders of the Sa-
vannah bar.

SETTING HoBsoN STRAIGHT.

1t is perfectly plain to all observers
that the Daughters of the American
Revolution are devoted to the truth of
history. Whenever they find an error
in history they assail it pluckily. and
when truth is attacked they are va
liant in its defense. 1t sometimes oc-
ours that some of them are a little
lame in their logic and nebulous in
their argument, but that is a minor
matter; their hearts beat warm for
their country and they want history
to be right-that, after all, is the main
thing. Thus it occurs that Capt. Hob
son has come under the observation of
one OF the Daughters. She read in the
new papers the stories Of his oscula-
tory escapades. and wondered If those
stories were worthy to be embalmed
in history as correct. The more she
pondered. the more she doubted. At
length, to make an end of the doubt,
she started upon an investigation of
her own. Hobson had been ordered on
duty at the Buffalo Exposition. She
went to Buffalo. There she saw the
Merrimac hero. One glance was
enough. Says a. report, summarizing
her remarks before a Daughters meet
ing at Detroit: She knew there was
no truth in the stories about the Hob
sonian kisses-she knew it because she
had seen the young officer at Buffalo,
and Immediately perceived from his APP
pearance and manner that the once
widely circulated reports couldn't pos
sibly be true"
That ought. surely, to be conclusive.
Some hypercritical persons might wish
to know what it was about the young
man that convinced her; whether IL
was case of couldn't If he would"
or wouldn't if he could" They might
like to ask whether his appearance and
manner indicated him 10 be too high
in the clouds TO stoop 10 kiss or wheth-
or they were such as TO cause the girls
to 20 a-sprinting II he attempted IL.
But such queries would be unreason-
able. No one has "a right TO attempt
to peer into woman's reasons. She
knows things simply because she knows
them, and that is all there IA 10 n.

A husband who had been away from
his wife for ten years and had never
seen his son, turned up the other day
in New York. In the meantime the
wife, thinking her husband dead. had
married again, but she left the second
man in the case as soon as she knew
her real husband lived. The real-life
incarnation of Enoch Arden was not
as generous as his fictional antelope,
for he sued the wife for the possession
of the child. The court decided, how
ever, that the boy should stay with
the mother.

OUR TWO NAVIEs.

The Secretary of the Navy antici-
pates difficulty in securing the neces-
sary complement of officers and men
for the war vessels that are now in
course of construction. Does not the
revenue marine service offer a way
out of the difficulty? In time of war
the revenue marine is necessarily a
part Of the military force afioat: why
should it not be a part of the naval
establishment in peace as well? 1t
could be made a recruiting agency and
training school. so to speak, for the
larger branch of the service.
The government now maintains two
navies. one of war ships under the d.
rection of special cabinet secretary,
and the other of revenue cutters under
the direction of the treasury depart
ment. By combining the services more
efficient cooperation would be secured,
the navy would be brought into closer
contact with the people, making en-
listments easier, and the officers would
be afforded a better opportunity for
becoming familiar with the coast, har-
bors and rivers eff the country. The
value in time of war of such direct
and personal knowledge of the coast
line cannot be overestimated.
At the present time there are a
number of the smaller and older YES
sells of the navy out of commission.
Such craft might we'll be on coast
guard duty, instead of rusting out from
inactivity at some wharf. That such
things happen was shown recently
when the cruiser Columbia was remov-
ed from the Philadelphia navy yard to
Brooklyn. Her pumps were found so
badly rusted that not one of them
could be worked and for a time there
were grave fears that she would sink
at her dock. To put the small craft
referred to into the coast guard service
and let it be understood that each was
a floating recruiting station for the
navy would soon have the effect of
providing an ample supply of men upon
which to draw for the larger vessels.
There is in the way of such consoli-
dation of our two navies the old OBJ
lection, by naval officers, that the rev.
enue marine officers are not Annapo-
lis men. But that objection would dis
appear within a few years.
The Treasury Departments little
navy of revenue cutters is a relic
brought down from the days of SNUG
glers and pirates. Now the smugglers
are extremely few and land from Eu
ropean steamers at the leading ports,
while the pirates are extinct. The
navy, with it's craft ranging from
mosquitoes" to monster battleships.
is competent TO take care of the whole
business-coast guarding as we'll as
fighting battles. The present dual
system has no advantage that might
not be preserved under the proposed
new one. While the consolidation offers
many advantages in the way of re-
cruiting and training men and officers.
