CHRISTMAS IN THE NAVY.

The evident discontent among the officers and men of the North Atlantic squadron, and, in fact, the entire navy afloat, has been only too apparent to the navy department for several weeks past The suicides among the commis- stoned officers and the unusually large number of assertions among the enlist ed men have caused the greatest con cern in official naval circles inWashing- ton and an investigation has conse- quently been made into the circum- stances which led to this state of af- fairs, which certainly tends to lesson the efficiency of the naval service. It is the belief of officers on duty at the navy department that, owing to the lack of commissioned officers in the navy, those who have been on the sea duty during the past year have been overworked. It is also the opinion that the assertions among the enlisted men have been caused by a curtailment of shore privileges by Admiral Higginson, and a consequent lack of recreation. The general board has been making in- vestigation, and as a result of it's recommendation the navy department has decided that all of Christmas week shall be observed as a holiday on board all thevessels to participate in the com ing manoeuvres in the Caribbean sea. During that period of time many ships will go to WestIndian ports and the officers and men, in turns, given liberty ashore and allowed to enjoy themselves Admiral Dewey, it is said, is largely responsible for the recommendation that more privileges be given the en- listed men, and it is estimated that he will order that one day each week be observed as holiday during the period of the manieuvres.
 The question now seems to be, how can some relief be afforded the commits stoned officers. who are working night and day and each one of whom is real ly doing the work of two men? This question will have to be solved by con- gress in the coming session if the eff ciency of the naval service is to bt maintained. It is said at the navy de partment that numerous resignations and applications for retirement are dut to the fact that it is utterly impossible 1 for the department to grant officers duty ashore after the expiration oi their terms at sea. We know of a cas,
 of prominent young officer in tn,
 navy who had not been granted any | leave for three years. He wrote to tho
 navy department and applied for three months leave of absence, explaining that he lived in an inland state and de sired to visit his family. The applica tion was refused. The officer immed l lately obtained a few days leave iron | his commanding officer. went to Wash l ington in person submitted his resigna | ton to the secretary of the navy. Fl,

CURRENT COMMENT

Universal Eulogy.

Cynics have declared that tombstones are the greatest liars in the world. This is only another way of saying that the ancient maxim Tell nothing save good of the dead" is respected everywhere. Humanity agrees that anger, malice and hatred should stop at the grave. Hence the gravestone recites only the virtues of him who sleeps beneath 1t and says nothing of his failings and weaknesses.
 It must be admitted, however, that in some cases charity is heavily drawn upon in the effort to find virtues to as cribe to the deceased. and it is this con sideration. undoubtedly, which has in f1uenced the clergymen of Hamilton, O., to declare by a unanimous vote that they will no longer preach funeral ser mons save in cases where they can con- scientiously ascribe to the dead merits warranting eulogy. They decline any longer to compete with the tombstones in indiscriminate praise of people sim ply because those people are dead.
 There is something to be said for this attitude of the Ohio clergymen. A phil osopher once put the case thus: A dead rascal is no more admirable than a live save that Ae IS OI luI- ther rascality. Why. therefore, should he be eulogized?
 This statement of the proposition ap- pears logical and it no doubt appeals with particular force to clergymen, who. from their very profession, may be supposed to deprecate any departure from the truth even in deference to the tradition "De mortuis nil nisi bonum.
 Whatever license in elegaic matters may be permitted to tombstones or even to men not in holy orders it must be conceded that silence is after all the highest charity which may reasonably be exepected of preacher.
 The clerics of Hamilton, O., have done wisely and seemingly in resolving to leave post mortem eulogies of doubt full veracity to the tombstones. Heaven lies about us in our infancy, but the clergymen cannot afford to lie about us when we are dead. The storied urn must do that.-Chicago Chronicle.

Mexico's President.

Whether or not the rumor is true that credits President Diaz of Mexico with the intention of retiring soon from pub lie life, he must in the nature of things hand over his office to another before many years have passed; and it is a question of much interest if the pros perity of his country will suffer no check in the process. He has admin istered its affairs with great wisdom, and has given it a place among the na- tions such as could hardly have been predicted for it a score of years ago. It is true that he has been practically a dictator, and that the republic exists only in name. But it is clear from the experiences of other South American countries that democracy in the mod ern form is not the best adapted of all kinds of government to their needs. If all had statesmen like Diaz their his tory would be more fortunate.-Provi- dence Journal.

CHARLIE PLATES COW
She Is Practically the.Whole Thing in
 Kirkland Town.

Charles W. Platt, republican nominee for recorder of Yavapai county in tho recent election, is the owner of a black cow This statement in itself is not re- markable, but a careful inquiry among the residents of Kirkland show that they consider this particular COW pos sessed of an intelligence equal to Bar num's educated pig.
 This animal after eating a hearty breakfast in her own corral, proceeds to make a daily round of all yards, back doors, etc, in search of something to appropriate, without rendering due equivalent. Politely speaking, she is kleptomaniac. Rumor has it that when the telephone people were building their line through the valley, the employees having lost a quantity of hay and grain by theft, built a pyramid of poles ten feet high, upon which they placed their supplies and felt secure.
 "Blackey" climbed the pile and de- voured or scattered everything in sight.
 At another time a rancher who knew the animals reputation, put bale of hay inside a large kettle, covered the receptacle with sheet iron, tied can vass over the whole and leaving his wagon in the public square went into the store to study astronomy. When he came back, he found the hay scattered about and the black COW enjoying a hearty meal; she having watched his careful storing away of the bale and immediately opened up the combination.
 A neighbor after some hours of la bor had prepared a large quantity of watermelon peeling. for sweet pickles, i left the pan upon the kitchen table dur ! ing her temporary absence; and Mrs Cow walked into the house and cleaned up everything in sight.
 A squaw carrying a papoose and nu- merous bundles on her head, is an un- failing source of amusement; although never touching the poor Indian, shC bluffs the aboriginee nearly into tho happy hunting grounds.
 A stranger in Kirkland is usually in spected at close quarters with rather ! belligerant air and if showed away she becomes very indignant at the un. due familiarity shown in speaking tC her without an introduction.
 The redeeming feature of this mucE cussed COW is the quantity and richnes: of the milk given. and perhaps he longivity is due to the popularity of MT Platt
 The writer noted the careful watcl which the bovine kept on all freight de posted upon the station platform, anc the agility with which she mounted tn numerous steps if anything edible wa in sight.
 All loads of hay passing through tow, have a faithful follower who takes tol for a mile or more.
 It has been suggested that she differ

HOUSE KILLS LONDON
DOCK CHARGE BILL
Enacting Clause VotedDoWn

four hours the House OF Representatives
Yesterday afternoon killed the London
dock charge bill by voting to strike out
the enactlng clause The final vote was
l3S 10 12s
The debate was spirited. but never
acrimonious. The supporters Of the bill
were led by Representative Tawney OF
Minnesota and the opposition by Rep
resentatiye Sherman. OF New York. Be
sides Mr.. Tawney. representative
Richardson Of Alabama poke at length
in favor OF the measure. Opposition
speeches were made by Messrs. Wanger.
Adams and Dalzell. OF Pennsylvania;
Messrs. Burleson and Burgess. Of Texas.
and Mr. Mann. o. Illinois
The bill. Mr.. Tawney explained. was
designed to protect American shippers
from the charges OF the big Atlantic
steamship companies for docking cargoes
at the port OF London II applied only
TO that port and was desired by manu-
facturers OF the United States. particu-
larly those in the milling industry The
opposition took the ground that the bill
was desired only by the milling inter
ests and that it sought TO prevent the
liberty Of contract.
Mr.. Tawney finally moved that the
Committee on Commerce lie discharged
from further consideration OF the Senate
dock bill. which was practically ident-
cal with that Of the House. and to sub
sherman at once moved that the enact
ing clause be stricken out. The latter
motion took precedence and by a divi-
sion Of the House was PASSED by a vote
