The Great American Navy.

The five new battleships provided for
by the late congress are to be named
Kansas, Vermont, Minnesota, Missis-
sippi, and Idaho. Three of them, Kan
sas, Vermont and Minnesota, are to be
of 10000 tons each, and will be equal to
any fighting machines afloat. The
12,000-ton vessels, Mississippi and
Idaho, will not be greatly inferior in
ships, the main difference being in
steaming radius. Altogether, the new
additions to the navy just authorized
are the most formidabl yet carried by
a single bill, and when they are COM
pleted Uncle Sam will be able to take
care of his interests in any part of the
world. 1t is not expected that the
United States will be able to overtaka
strength during the next decade, nor
is there any reason why we should I'M
dertake to keep pace with all the great
nations in enlarging our sea power.
Ie navy " w HICu OuTS Is IllOSC nearly
equal is that of Germany, and the con-
struction programme of the two coun-
tries promises an interesting race to
determine which shall be in the lead
But it is a friendly rivalry, and there
is not even remote prospect that the
United States ever will be at war with
the German emnire
All things considered. the American
navy within three or four years more
for practical purposes will be equal to
any navy in the world, for the reason
that it is purely a defensive machine.
There is no element of aggression in our
foreign policy. and should a war break
out with any European power the issues
would be fought out on our own coasts.
And experimenting our battleships and
cruisers, our system of coast defense
will place our enemies at disadvan-
tage. The new programme calling for
a fleet of submarine torpedo boats is
not the least important feature of the
scheme of defense.

History Corrected.

The proceedings at the beginning of
some of the senators are not close
readers of the dispatches in the daily
papers. Abiding to Mr.. Cannon's bit
ter speech in the house of representa-
tvies on the last day of the regular
session, in which the senate, its rules,
and the filibuster against the statehood
bill, were denounced in a sensational
manner, Senators Tillman, Hoar, Hale
and Allison all agreed that such 4
speech had never been heard before
But they did not know that on the day
speech, members of the house of rep
resentatives at Phoenix had blaZed the
trail by excoriating the democratic
majority in the territorial council.
We do not wish to deprive Mr.. Can
non of any of his honors, and he may
have all the credit for making the first
speech in congress in condemnation of
the coordinate branch. But it was the
house at Phoenix winch set the eX-
ample of roasting the fellows in the
other house in blistering English.
1.-The speech CMr. Cannon's) will be
forgotten" said Senator Hale. 1T will
pass to the oblivion to which it should
be consigned. The man who made it
will go to a higher place, and in his life
he will have a hundred things to turn
to in pride, but he will never have any
thing more to regret than having
spoken these words" This may be :;
true prophecy as to Mr.. Cannon, but
we can assure the senators that the
action of the Arizona house of repre-
sentatives will never be regretted or
forgotten. When that house adopted

A City Without Graft.

In the midst of startling revelations
of official corruption in so many of our
cities, it is refreshing to have attention
directed to one city where the public
business is conducted in an honest and
business-like manner. In the current
Mr.. Thomas G. Hayes, the famous
mayor of Baltimore, explains in part
why the municipality over which he
presides is "a city without graft
Before he was elected mayor, Mr..
Hayes had been for some years an Off
cial of the law department of the city.
and thus had acquired, as he states.
IAN intimate insight into all the rami-
fications of graft" and when the prob
lem of providing the city with a charter
that should make honest government
easier came up for solution, he ap-
preached it with a constant recollec-
ton of the evils which he had seen.
Two great reforms were carried by
the charter. The first of them was in
the formation of a board of awards
which took from the different depart
ments the control of all contracts and
the purchase of all material and which
provided for actual competition by
making the conditions and specifica-
tons as broad and open as possible"
The second important provision was
board of estimates, comprising the
mayor, comptroller and president of the
of them elected by direct vote. These,
with the city solicitor and the city en-
gineer, composed a board which dealt
with public franchises and the other
interests which had been the chief
sources of corruption. AS everybody
knows, it is extremely seldom that the
mayor of a city is corrupt. Franchises
steals and miscellaneous thievery are
usually accomplished by rings made
up of members of the council.
OF course although Mayor Hayes is
too modest to make a point of it in his
article, the good fortune of Baltimore
lies not so much in having a good char
ter as in having an exceptionally good
mayor. When he was called to the
chief office of the city, Mr.. Hayes did
his best to get men of the highest char
acter and efficiency at the head of the
city departments. He was able to do
this by giving to the subject the same
close attention which a good business
man gives to his own affairs. Mayor
Hayes happens to be a man who takes
no interest in building up personal
or political machine, but he does take
an intense interest in giving his city
a clean administration. There are, no
doubt, thousands of other mayors who
are as honest as Mayor Hayes, but few
of them have the force of character TO
be Independent of political machines,
and probably still fewer have the prac-
teal aptitude and industry necessary
to properly protect and govern a city.

This essay sums up all that is known
about tuberculosis. including many new
ideas advanced by DR.. Latham, who is
an experienced and famous specialist.
DR.. Latham shows that the accepted
system OF treating the disease today
was clearly laid down a century ago.

out in the old system: That English

curative factor that has established it
self in the confidence Of modern physi-
clans. For practicing the cold-air
treatment the earlier English physi-
clans were considered murderers of de-
fenseless invalids and were almost
driven out of practice.
DIR. Latham holds that altitude does
not affect the microbe of tuberculosis.
High Or low, the germ is destructive If
the other conditions favor its activity.

GORMAN,S SHREWD GAME.

Over the entry of L. Victor Baugh-
man as a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor the
Democratic bosses pretend to be
greatly perplexed. a short time ago
it looked as if the contest would be
confined to Mr.. Edwin Warfield and
Mr.. Spencer G. Jones, but at the
meeting of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee last week a boom was
launched for Mr.. Baughman. The
triangular situation is believed by
many to be in accordance with a we'll
laid secret scheme of the Democratic
machine managers. 1t is well known
that Senator German is anxious to
see Mr.. Baughman, who has for years
been his close political friend, in the
gubernatorial chair, and it is believed
that the candidacy of Mr.. Jones was
inspired by him for the purpose of
bringing about the defeat of Mr.. War
field in the Democratic State Conven-
ton. From present indications it is
quite certain that Mr.. Jones will con-
troll enough delegates to prevent Mr..
Warfeld's nomination. This will
deadlock the convention, and at the
opportune time Mr.. German will give
the word which will make Mr.. Baugh-
man the nominee. In going to Eu-
rope Mr.. German has played shrewd
game. This has enabled him to ap-
pear to be hands-off as far as the can
didates named are concerned, and
when he returns he will no doubt re-
fuse to make any public declaration
as to whom he wishes nominated. All
these things are in keeping with Mr..
Germans we'll known political meth
DDS, but the people have their eyes
on the situation.

A Wall FROM GEORGIA.

A thin skinned man in Geoagia
wants the "Uncle Toms Cabin show
Suppressed. He argues that the
North and South will never unite in
complete harmony until Eliza and
the piebald dogs are called off, and
the Topsies and Markses and Legrees
are banished from the stage. The man
from Georgia should get out into the
big world and rub against his neig h
bors until he gets his feelings cal
loused trifle. He is too sensitive.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" is unique in
haying taken a part in one of the
worlds greatest historic events-the
awakening of nation to the wrongs
of human slavery-and no matter
how near it may come to the truth,
or how far it may stray in its crude
portrayal of those scenes which stir
red up the human heart, the story =
a part of the literature and the his
tory of the country. 1t cannot be re-
considered or expunged. Massachu
sets people might as we'll ask that
the burning of witches in New Eng
land should no longer be a part of the
story of the Eastern State S.
History can neither be made no
mended by supp, essing the page.
The whole story of human life is one
of mistakes and successes. If we can
not survive the recollections of the
mistakes, we have made little head
way. If we cannot face the past, we
are not fit to face the future. If we
cannot stand the lesson of the mis-
takes, I'VE have not learned from them.
"Uncle Toms Cabin has it's deficien-
cies, but it is accepted as a charac-
teristic story of a period in America
development. 1t has no particular
merit to keep it alive, except that
people choose to see the show and
read the story. If the Georgia man
cannot take it for what it signifies,
when the show comes he should hide
in the haymow or some other safe
place until the trouble is over. Most
people survive the show, bad as it
may be, and it will not hurt anyone
very much,

LIE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

The great increase of immigration
for the present year and the uudC 'ir-
able characters of many of newcom-
ers to America have awakened sus-
picion that the steamship cor panies
are making a canvas of certain Euro
pean countries to augment their
steerage business. The treasury de-
partment is to make thorough in
Yestigation in order to learn whethe r
this suspicion is founded on fact. The
records are declared to show that the
character of the immigrants is stead
lily declining and that recent legis-
lation and new rulings by the de-
partment to raise the standard have
not been effective.
These facts have brought the immi-
grafton problem once more promi-
nently before the country, and again
it is shown that there are two sides to
the question. For instance, the Gin
cinnati Enquirer takes one extreme
view and says: "When man has at
infinite toll and cost established
home, no duty, no call of ch" 'ity or
humility, can compel him to bring
within its limits inmates certain to
degrade and destroy it. His duty is
to protect and preserve his home at
all hazards, and the same thing is
true of our country. 1t is our home,
and if the American type is to sur
vive we must protect it from the in
coming of ignorant, decadent people
with no interest in our institutions
and no capacity or desire to be truly
of u.s.
On the other hand, the st. Louis
! Globe Democrat thinks that the coun-
try will have no more difficulty in as
similating the present incomers than
it has had in assimilating others in
the past. 1t declares that there is
plenty of opportunity to better their
condition.
In a measure, concludes the Buffalo
ETpreSS, this is doubtless true, but it
is also fact there is great danger in
permitting so many of these strang-
ers to take up their homes in the
large cities. 1t asserts that ''this city
ward movement seems to be the ten
dencY in these days. Instead of 60
ing to the newer sections of the coun-
try, where they can develop with the
country, these people are inclined to
flock to the crowded tenement house
quarters of the large cities, where the
environments are all against the birth
and nurture of the true Anne rican
spirit. Their presence there in such
large numbers augments the evils of
the slums against which we are at
present making such a fight and
makes that fight all the harder"
In connection with such measures
as may be considered desirable to con-
trol immigration steps should be
taken as far as possible to turn the
tide of incomers from the large cities
to the rural districts, where there are
more'room and opportunity for them
and where they may be more easily
assimilated with the native popu'a-
ton.

WILL BRING HARMONY.

Under the caption of 'EX-Governo +
Lowndes the man." Editor j. j. Rob
inson, of the Homecoming star in an
editorial in last Fridays issue of his
journal comments upon the necessi-
ty of the Republicans of Maryland
making a choice for their guberna-
torial candidate of one who shall
possess the power to Danish faction
alism and who will lead his party to
victory at the polls in November
next. Hon. Lloyd Lowndes is cited
as the one member of the Republican
party in Maryland who can achieve
the end sought. The Star says;
From present indications as obser
we'd from the Republican political
situation in Baltimore press it is for
tunate, indeed, that Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes has not formally announced
his withdrawal from the guberna-
torial race. The fact that the former
governor hesitates to go into pri-
mary fight is characteristic of him
and such a proceeding is no doubt
distasteful to him. But if it is dem
onstrated to him, as it now seems
clear to those who are observing the
trend of events in Baltimore city and
elsewhere in the state, that it will be
necessary for the good of the party
and for the good of the people of
Maryland that he enter the contest,
he should not hesitate to give ear I'M
to his party's call and his party's
needs. 1t is not the Stars intention
to say ought derogatory of the gen
tleman who has already consented to
have his name presented in the Re-
publican nominating convention,
Hon. Stevenson A. Williams, of Har-
ford county, because the Star knows
that Mr.. Williams is a gentleman of
the highest rank. The Star is privil-
eyed to pay this tribute to Mr.. Will
Jams from personal knowlege and
association with him, and we do not
hesitate to say that politically and
socially he is a gentleman of high
standing and rare capability.
If there is, therefore, any DISPOSE
ton on the part of anv person or any
paper anywhere to suggest someone
other than Mr.. Williams for the high
and important office of governor of
Maryland, it will be we'll understood
that ill-will toward that honorable
gentleman does not form the motive.
Under ordinary andnor conditions
of the party in this.state there would
be no word or sign of objection made
to his unanimous nomination in any
quarter, and he would receive the
united support of his party and be
triumphantly victorious in the cleo
tion.
But matters haYe so shaped them
selves during the past several weeks
that it is a grave question whether so
good man as Mr.. Williams should
be sacrificed upon the altar of friction
al politics, and it is no less important
that calm consideration be given to a
proposition looking to a unifcation
of the party in the state and Repub-
lican success in November as con-
sequence.
