Like Admiral George Melville, though
subject to displacement because of
age, he was requested by his official
superior to fill out the full four-year
term of his latest appointment, and
then to continue his duties till his sue
eessor, Rear Admiral Harris, could
qualify for the vacancy.
Admiral Kenny's associates in pre-
senting him yesterday with a loving
cup only testified to the general appre-
citation in and out of the navy of his
courtesy, his kindness, his unfailing
tact, and his high and generous sense
of public and private duty. His pro
fessiOnal career has been marked by
uniformly brilliant and creditable
achievement. He retires from active
service with a consciousness of duty
well performed and amid the merited
good wishes OF a host Of friends and
admirers.

REFLECTIONS OF

POSTAL THIEYERY.

The Washington Times appears TO
think that the Administration is in no
danger Of popular censure, because II
is likely 10 turn out that some Demo-
Gratis got a share OF the Postofice pIuu-
der. las the investigation proceeds"
says The Times. 1T will be found that
Democratic leaders were quite as much
the 'beneficiaries' OF the system in
augurated by the ring. as some OF their
Republican friends. Indeed. the whole
stupendous structure Of fraud and thiev-
cry erected by those now trying 10 dodge
the arm OF the law was purposely made
to rest upon a generous elimination of
party lines"
There is no doubt that the rascaIs who
engineered this gigantic scheme OF cor
ruption and robbery proved themselves
TO be exceedingly clever; but It IS a
fact that the cleverest OF rascals have.
sooner or later. overreached themselves.
and this is what the Postofice ringsters
appear TO have done. II is TO be doubted
that the public can be led to ignore or
make light Of this grave scandal, because
the schemers may have succeeded in max
ing some Democrats sharers in the plum.

system OF fraud and robbery has left no
taint on the present Administration, the
Republican party cannot shiTk RESPONSE

OF the Postoffice Department by the pres
ent Administration, with exposure OF the
rascals of high and low degree. is the
only thing that can keep the scandal out
of the campaign OF 1904. and. TO all ap-.

A Mountain Out of a MOlehill.

This innocent episode has been re-
garded as a deliberate afTront to the Bo-
hernian people by the Czech moiety
thereof. who view everything German
with the same adherence as the evil one.
And in an impassioned speech. which
the presiding officer endeavored, IN vain,
10 interrupt and to stop. tee deputy de-
clared that Bohemians had not deserved
such treatment from the House OF Haps-
burg. that nothing good was to be ex-
pected from any member thereof who
bore the name of Francis or Ferdinand,
but that when a prince had the nlisfor-
tune TO be both a Francis and a Ferdi-
nand. his case was hopeless. and that
under the circumstances IL was incum-
bent upon the government to keep The
archduke n order.
This affront. which the archduke is rot
the man to either forgive or forget. can
not fail to improve his position in all
the non-Czech portions Of his unc1e's en-
pire, where apprehension has always
prevailed with regard to his advent 70

to be his undue prediction for everv-

Differs From Predecessors.

In one respect, at any rate. the present
ruler of Servia presents a striking diff
ference to his two immediate predeces-
sors on the throne at Belgrade. He is
not only man OF the highest order OF
education. and OF extensive reading. but
also a soldier by profession. and one OF
tried and proved courage Neither MI
Ian nor Alexander ever received any mil
itary training, whereas King Peter is a
graduate of the French military acad-
emy of ST. Cyr. former officer of the
French army, who fought through the
Franco-German war Of 1870, both as a
regimental commander and as a staff
officer. receiving the cross of the Legion
OF Honor for conspicuous gallantry on
the battlefield
This cannot fail 10 impress the officers
and soldiers OF an army such as that of
Servia. which since 1875 has always dis
tinguished itself by the ignominy and
completeness of its routs both in cam
paigns against the Turks aad against
the Bulgarians ten years later, and
whose only real feat Of arms has been
the shocking murder Of King Alexander
and Queen Draga, the details OF whose
assassination, especially as regards the
Queen. are. according to private adviees
from Vienna. too horrible TO print.

An Interesting Point.

The third term which Washington re-
fused, which was denied TO Grant, and
which Cleveland is endeavoring to OBJ
tain, might be demanded by those who
would wish 10 perpetuate the Roosevelt
Gypasty. and IL might be said that his
reelection In 1908 would be no violation
OF the third term rule. because he would
have been elected President but once

Death OF President Mckinley. and by

In these days when an excuse IS found
for the violation OF every precedent. II
might be held that his accidental term
would be no barrier 20 his reelection
IN 1908. The case would be unique be-
cause of the fact that no man hereto

there is no telling what may be at

Cleveland was not an aspirant for a

In his reply Mr.. Bonaparte. dwelling

Know Nothings in The days OF my

Most Of our separated brethren have
complacently hoped, some among our
selves may have secretly feared. lest
American liberty should infect and final
ly poison the spiritual loyalty OF Ameri-
can Catholics.
The past half century has shown
these hopes and fears and theories TO be
all alike groundless. The Catholic

staying, not 10 languish. but TO i've

NO PERFECT TITLE IF
NOTICES ARE DEFECTIVE
Opinion Regarding Tax Sales Given
by Corporation Counsel.

In an opinion submitted yesterday af-
ternoon to the Commissioners By Cor
poration Counsel Duvall, IL is held that
where property is sold for taxes and the
advertisement OF such sale failed to in
clude notice Of penalties or interest. the
Commissioners cannot give a perfect
title. The deed may be transferred ac-
cording TO the opinion, but If it is not
wholly void. 1t is seriously defective.
An application was made in the name
Of Annie l.. J. Weightman. asking remis-
sion Of interest subsequent TO a tax sale
Of property owned by her and request
Ing permission 10 pay the principal only.
The property. 1t appears, was advertised
for sale in 1886 for the second half of
the tax for 1885, and a part OF II was sold
in 1887 for the whole tax Of that wear
and was bought in by the District
Neither OF these advertisements included
penalties. interest. and costs" II was
claimed that these tax sales were invalid
because the property was not advertised
for sale for the whole tax that was then
in arrears and because the description
part OF sublot" was insufficient. The
taxes were imposed under the provisions

No Stampede to Cleveland.
A Capable Democratic Prophet Says the
ex-President Cannot Win.

In spite of Mr. Cleveland's recent
pointed notice to the public that he is
still ready to hearken to q "call of
duty" the clamor in the Democratic
ranks for his recall to leadership
seems to be losing rather than gain
ing volume. The ex-President's repu-
dlation of the Bailey interview should
apparently have given the cue to a
new outburst of Democratic conf
dence in his generalship-of Demo
cratic loyalty to his fortunes. But no
universal voice has been lifted to sum-
mon the Sage of Princeton to another
conflict with the common enemy.
Even DIR. st. Clair McKelway, of the
Brooklyn Eagle" fails TO read in the
signs of the times another fierce and
rampant outbreak of pro- Cleveland
sentiment.
After DIR. McKelway's assurance
that the voters of the country were
simply afire to meet and lay the buga-
boo OF anti-third-term prejudice, it is
discouraging to find another distin-
guished Democrat, formerly one of
Mr.. Cleveland's most active SUD-
porters, admitting that this prejudice
will constitute an absolute bar to the
ex-President's nomination or election.
Ex-Governor Robert f. Pattison. of
Pennsylvania, who contributed gener-
ously through his advice and influence
TO Mr.. Cleveland's third and last
Presidential nomination, declared in
an interview in Newark the other dav

ing this, and 1t is that the people of
this country will not give any man
third term at this time, and il is to be
hoped that they never will. This Is
my sole objection to Mr. Cleveland"
Mr.. Pattison is a statesman with a
notable reputation for Judging times
and tides in politics when TO seek
Office and when not 10 seek office. His
forecast Of political conditions for
1904 is, therefore, both entitled TO
scrutiny and to credence. 1t NAV not

it shows a grasp on facts which has
been sadly lacking in the manipula-
tion so far of the Cleveland third
