! their predictions that what they call this
sspasn, of reform will pass In few
| months and that the criminals who have
| been curbed will assert themselves again.
| Let us see that that prediction is not
verified.
According to our understanding the
board was pursuing line of investigation
of its own when it was interrupted, so to
| speak, by Dr. Hawthorne's startling SER
! mon. Let the board now return to that
! work and find out who tipped the gam
blcrs, if they were tipped. to leave the
city, and what officers and men on the
! force, IL any, cannot be confidently relied
upon TO enforce the law as the people
would have it enforced
In our opinion the people Of Richmond
are in dead earnest in their determine
ton to have the important laws executed
much better than they have been in past
years, and they will be prompt to recog-
nize and appreciate every step in that
direction taken by the board
In the matter Of 'disorderly houses
there is problem which is to be worked
out slowly, but immediate relief ought to
be given, where possible. to the respecta-
bic ncghborhoods into which notorious
women have intruded. We should also
like to see the Police Department active
in demanding the revoca ton of liquor Ii
censes where they are in the hands Of I'M
worthy men, or where the bars ire kept in
disorderly and law-defying neghborhoods.
We beg the special attention of the Chief
and board to this matter. Let them not
pass it by It is important and urgent.

MEL Y|LLE'S REPORT
Of Unusual Length But of
Moe Than Ordinary
Interest.

WAsHINGTONj D. c., OCTOBER 4.-oI
unusual length, out of more than ordin-
airy interest, is the annual report to the
Secretary of the Navy. of Engineer-ln-
Chief George Melville. He says, with
the greatest frankness, that the personnel
act has proven to be a failure as it is
administered, and he declares that one
half of the officers Of the navy have yet
to be convinced of the benefits of amalga-
nation. Stll, Admiral Melville thinks
that it the law were administered with a
desire to make it success. it would
give the most efficient navy in the word.
To that end he wants an engineer labora-
tory at Annapolis, like that at Chariot
tenbrug, Germany, for experiment ana
instruction i'll engineering to young line
officers.
PETROLEUM FOR COAL.
That portion of the report Of the great
est interest industrially, pertains to the
use of petroleum as substitute TOT coal
on board ship. He says:
THE more this question Is investigated
the more intricate seems the problem OF
successfully installing oil fuel appliances
on board a battleship. It ought TO De
successfully used on the torpedo bodtS
we'll as upon AUXILIARY naval NeS3siS
that steam between regular ports. The
first line of inquiry by the board was the
engineering or mechanical feature. in
volvjng the possibility of successfully
burning oil for steam purposes, and 1t is
sa ioi that this problem is nearing solution.
It has been found necessary to atomlze
oil instead of using it under pressure and
if this is done properly the experts have
shown that it will be possible to force
the combustion of oil to the same extent
as COAL something that has never been
done, but very essential for naval uses
COST OF OIL GREATER.
Treating of the commercial aspects of
the question. the report makes the fol-
lowing important statements: cit may
be regarded as certainty that, except
where unusual conditions prevail, the
cost of oil for marine purposes will geDer-
ally be greater than that of coal. The cost
may e less for vessels departing from the
Gulf and California seaports, but the rule
will hold elsewhere. While the question of
cost should be of secondary Importance
in naval matters. it must be taken into
consideration. 1t is the expense of the
transport that will always prevent the oil
from being a cheap fuel. While it may
be put on the tank steamer very chea ply
at ports like Point Sabine, its CONNER
cial vaIue will be determined by the cost
Of delivery at commercial and maritime
centres"

The Blue and the Gray.

BY FRANCIS MILES FINCH.
BY the flow Of the inland river,
Whence the fleets Of iron have flee
Where the blades Of the grave Sras
culver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead;
Under the sod and the dew,
Awaiting the judgment day
Under the one .4,e blue,
Under the other the gray.
These in the robings of glory.
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle-blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day
Under the laurel the blue,
Under the willow the gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mournerS go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the roses the blue,
Under the lilies the gray.
So, with an equal splendor,
The morning sun rays fall
With q touch of impartially tender
On the blossoms blooming fox all.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Broidered with gold the blue.
Mellowed with gold the gray.
So when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth.
The cooling drip OF the rain.
Under the sod and the uew,
Waiting the judgment day
Wet with the rain the blue,
Wet with the rain the gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done,
In the storm of the years that ar
fading
No Drawer battle was Won.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Under the blossoms the blue,
Under the Sarlands the gray.
No more shall the war cry sever
Or the winding rivers be rcd;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of on,
dead.
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day
Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the gray.
