tempt OF Bag Gs.s 60 Hores
the

Within the past few days the war
department has taken the first steps
toward carrying out what will be a
most Interesting test of war material,
to take place in New York harbor dur
ing the coming summer. The expert
ments will constitute a thorough and
practical test of the adopted system
of fire control as il is technically
called; in other words. the direction
of the fire of the guns of a modern
fertilization from the large 12-inch
guns down to the 5-ineh rapid-hre
guns.
One of the most interesting points
to be determined Is the relative mer-
its Of the vertical and horizontal range
finders. A portion of the test will
consist Of firing at targets, and this
will naturally be lone with service
proiectilss and powder. The object
of this part of the work will be to
determine how closely the range and
position finders have located the tar

from a spectacular point of view and
thus to the public. will be that pol
ton wherein the navy will be asked to
cooperate. This will consist in an
attempt on the part of one or more
war vessels to enter the upper har-
Dor of New York unmolested by the
fire from the formidable forts on each
side of the Narrows. In this case the
fire from both contestants will be
with blank cartridges. though the
powerful searchlights of the forts and
vessels will add realism to the night
attacks. This part of the coming test
will be quite similar to the maneuvers
conducted last fall in Narragansett
bay, in which the value of the search
light was so well demonstrated that
congress at it's last session %appropri-
ated the sum of s15o,000 to supply
them for New York harbor alone.
1t is anticipated that quite a dis
tinguished party al officials will be
present during the tests, including the
secretary of war and possibly the sec
rotary of the navy. The tests will be
conducted under the general direction
of the board of ordnance and fortifca-
ton.

There landed from the liner Oceanic.

him to remark:

TIE new board Of railroad commits
sioners have at last found something
to do for few minutes, Last week
they issued two bulletins to the gen.
eral managers Of the railroads. One
Of them told the railroads that Kan.
sas is to have q great wheat crop,
which the railroads did not know.
And 1t admonishes them to have plenty
Of cars in readiness to move the grain.
The other bulletin admonlshes the
railroads to keep book recording the
applications for grain cars with the
date Of the application and the date
when the cars were furnished This is
said to be done In order to prevent the
railroads from freezing cut the inde-
pendent shippers who are not in the
grain trust, and therefore do not re-
receive the smiles and favors of the
railroads Now this Is admitting a
good deal for republican board.
First 1t is admitting that there is a
grain trust, which was so stoutly de-
MED by about every republican in the
legislature and caused them to refuse
to pass any special legislation to cover
the case. Then II ia also admitting a
railroad might do wrong. But on the
whole, the board should be congratu.
lated for these bulletins. They are
doing something to earn their salaries.
And If they will see to it that the
railroads do as they are told about
those records, and then see that some.
thing is done to them If they continue
to do any freezing out business the
board will receive the benedict!ons of
the people of the State But simply
issuing bulletins isn't doing very much

CHAIRMAN j. Mack Love of the
democratic party In an interview ex-
presses himself against even q con-
ference with the populist committee
looking toward such course as that
outlined In the address Of the commit
tee. This however is perhaps not
more than is to be expected from
Love, He has always been off on all
propositions that we're best intended
to unite the forces, He Is an old
school democrat, If regenerated at
all the job is not more than half done.
He does not and never has represented
the rank and file Of the party. He is one
of the few leaders who want to stand
where the plums are sure to fall In
case of democratic victory, He does
not want to do anything that would
anger the eastern democrats 81 ould
they get in control, This expression
from Love Is not surprising. He
claims to believe in direct legislation
and yet is unwilling to give the rank
aud file Of the democrats of the State
a chance to say whether they want to
accept the plan outlined by the popu-
list committee or some other that will
permit the members of the two parties
to vote together for these principles.

THERE are certain well informed
persons who are now predicting that
the republican party will very soon
abandon its doctrine of protection.
The enormous growth Of trusts and
their ability to compete with all the
nations Of the world In the produc-
tion of those articles that are sold
abroad at prices much below the prices
made for domestic consumers are the
facts and agencies that are contribut-
Ing to a loosening Of many Of the party
leaders from their old idols. There
will probably be some attempts by
some Of the leaders In the House to
eradicate some Of the worst features of
the present law at the next session OF
Congress. But they will be futile.
When 1t Is remembered what a hard
time the democratic party had In pass
ing a new tariff law that didn't reform
after they had made campaign upon
that issue 1t will be easily seen what u
republican leader who
wants to reform the tariff will have.
He may receive encouragement and
have smooth sailing at FIRST, but when
the lobby gets hold Of him, then will
his hopes 60 gllmmerIng In trice.

PROFITABLE DFElClr

MIR. h. Henniker Heaton called at
tention In the Brltlsh House of Com
mons to the annual loss of SO 800 900
on the postal telegraph service, and
asked how the government proposed
to remedy the deficiency. Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, the chancellor of the ex.
cheQuer, replied that the public was
more eager for rapid communication
than the revenue warranted
The public's instinct is sound. 1t is
better for the people to have service
so cheap that it does not quite pay ex.
penaes, and let the difference come
out OF the taxes, where 1t can be seen,
than to pay ten times the amount as
profits to a private monopoly.
You can telegraph anywhere you
like in Great Britain for twelve cents,
over distances as great as from New
York to Charleston, and you can lind
telegraph Offices wherever they are
needed, and not merely where they
will help to pay dividends to the own
ers of corporation.

ing a white woman. OF course the
mob and its defenders would declare
that the burning was done as an ex-
ample to others not to commit such an
oifense. But within a week another
assault has occurred at that place as
brutal as the first. AS a matter of
fact the mob was led not by high and
lofty motives to prevent crime, but by
unreasoning revenge. The brutality
OF the negro begat the brutality of the
mob, and The brutality of the mob has
probably begotten more brutality on
the part of this last offender Lynch
Ings and especially of this most horrid
sort, do not prevent crime, but rather
beget 1t. Capital punishment is much

SUMMER HOMES.

| Many people, especially those In
moderate circumstances, are unable to
secure accommodations during the
summer months on the higher attitudes
of these Islands where decided change
of climate is found This is due. no
doubt, to the fact that the white popu-
lation is not large enough to make no.
tells and boarding houses a remunera-
tive business on these attitudes.
! But it is certain that if the health of
the white people is to be preserved in
the tropics they must be cooled off at
some season of the year. It is a con-
dtion of things which we must recog-
nize in the establishment of a virile
! civilization here
| There is no reason why a movement
should not be made towards creating
tented" cities on the higher attitudes
of this and other Islands, as it is sue
cessfully done in many places on the
Coast and in the mountains of Califor-
MIA. A contemporary says: Some
1900 Rochester people think they
have solved the problem of how to live
comfortably and cheaply during the
summer. They are encamped in what
they call their White City, on the
shores of Lake Ontario. Some of them
have been pitching their tents there for
ten years, and the idea has grown in
popularity until this year tents crown
the bluffs for a mile and a half east
and west and half a mile north and
south. The tents are pitched in April
and folded in November, being con-
structed so that they may be comfort
ably heated in spring and autumn. The
canvas is stretched over a frame. like
that of an Indian bungalow, and the
largest of these summer dwellings are
spacious enough to allow of three
sleeping rooms a dining and sitting
room. Cooking and other domestic du-
ties are done in smaller tents in the
rear. This summer city is surprisingly
like a permanent municipality 1t is
regularly laid out, with streets named
after the Presidents. It has it's social
sets and its cliques and many of the
campers do not know the names of
their neighbors in the next street any
more than they would in New York
city itself. The men of the colony go
to their business daily in Rochester,
covering the eight miles quickly on the
trolley-cars."
There are, of course. difficulties in
the way of procuring food and water
at the high levels, but intelligent CO.
operation would remove them, and
white families should be able at small
expense to get the benefit of a bracing
air. gentleman of this city has tried.
this summer, the experiment of placing
a tent of unusual size at an altitude of
over 1000 feet on Haleakala, Maui. and
it has done excellent service. 1t stood
with little damage the force and fury
of the recent high winds.
Philanthropy cannot operate on bet
ter lines than in creating one Of these

Using is much more generous here than
in places of similar size on the Main
land, labor can be had economically,
telegraphic expenses are nil, and job
work and binding materially help
newspaper out These facts and not
blackrnail account for the moderate
success which newspapers are having
in Hawaii. The particularized state
ments with which the extract given
above concludes are arrant falsehoods
as everyone who lives here knows.
We cannot imagine who wrote the
Tribune correspondence. He might
have been a discharged employe of one
OF the local prints; he might have been
some rogue scourged by the newspapers
for his crimes and after his revenge;
he might have been a constituencies
space-writer or a crank. Whoever he
is he has deceived the New York Trib-
une and made that great journal bear
false witness towards a school of in
sular journalism which does not de-
serve i'll of the profession on the Main
land
