Shall There Also BE a Squadron for
the JudiCiaryc

The future division Of the naval force
of the United States into three distinct,
coordinate departments is indicated by
the progress Of civilization.
The Executive fleet is already quite
clearly" in being" We are not referring
to the Presidents own maritime expedi-
tons. As Commander-in-Chief he is
as much at home on any ship as Admiral
DEWEY would be. His right of close
personal inspection is indisputable. One
of the functions of his office is to see that
the naval laws are faithfully executed
Who, if not he, is 10 decide whether
the officers, marines and jackies are
doing their duty, whether the coal con-
sumption is eXtravagant, and 50 forth,
in short, whether the particular vessel
under observation at the time is as good
us a ship of WILLIAMS?
But aside from the legitimate exercise
of the COMMUNICATIVE preroga-
tive there is a growing practice on the
part of subordinate executive officers
to employ the Governments ships for
their convenience or comfort. Some
times there is an excuse Of official duty;
sometimes there isn't. Even the Cover
nor of a Territory has had a warship at
his disposal. To systematic the business
Of the Department one-third Of the avail
able fleet might be assigned regularly 10
Executive use when occasion arises.
Another third Of the available fleet
would naturally appertain to the Legis-
lative department of the Government.
This is illustrated by the present assign
ment of the Dolphin to a party of Con-
gressmen. The Senators and Repre-
sentatives make the laws. They vote
the appropriations. They investigate
conditions in all parts Of the earth where
American interests exist. The argu-
ment for the equal right of Congress-
men to Use Government ships in the pur-
suit of information and salt breezes
hardly needs to be stated.
How about the Judiciary, which the
Constitution establishes as an equal and
coordinate branch of our governmental
system? The Judges construe the laws
which the Congress makes and the Exec
utive executes. Is the right Of the Chief
Justice of the United States, let us say,
to have ship when he wants one less
than that Of Cabinet officer or of the
ex-chairman of a committee Of the
House of Representatives? Does not
the public servant who works hard on
the bench require the same cooling off
in summer as the diligent Congressman
or the faithful and efficient Cabinet Off
Ger? Chief Justice FULLER is about to
sail for Europe. Why should he be per-
mtted to make the voyage on a CONNER
cial vessel?
Poor old JIM BUCHANAN! In his I'M
enlightened way he insisted on paying

A Southerncr on the Negro Problem.

A SOuthernCr on the Negro Problem.
We referred recently to a paper in the
South Atlantic Quarterly, by professor
In Trinity College at Durham in North
Carolina, as an example of Southern
enlightenment in the discussion of the
question of slavery and the baleful in
fluence of the institution on Southern
society. In the same number of that
important Southern review ia another
paper in which the same spirit is exem-
plifed.
The paper, which is entitled Two
Negro Leaders" is dispassionate
and wholly judicial comparison of the
methods for the elevation Of the negro
advocated by BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
and WILLIAM BURGHARDT DU BoIs, re-
spectively. Its author is the editor of
the South Atlantic QUARTERLY DR.. JOHN
SPENCER BAssETr, the professor of his
tory and political science in the Durham
college, a native of North Carolina, born
two years after the close Of the civil
War. and doctor of philosophy Of Johns
Hopkins University. DR.. BAssETr,
therefore, is Of the New South, of the
generation which is supposed to be less
considerate Of the deficiencies of the
negroes and less patient with them than
was the generation Of the days of
slavery; or, as he puts it in this paper
in the raw democracy of the South.
which has just lost the guiding influence
of the able planter class, there is not that
patriarchal feeling for the dependent
race which existed twenty years ago
Against this new spirit DR.. BAssETT
protests, and to it he opposes spirit of
humane sympathy and generous ap-
probation.
Taking BOOKER WASHINGTON and
DU BoIs as negro leaders, he proceeds
to draw the distinction between them
without a trace of race prejudice.
To both of them he attributes " fine
minds and excellent training, thor
ough honesty in their purposes, and, in
his view, both are contributing greatly
to the progress of American negroes, =
though their theories and methods are
essentially different. BOOKER WASH
INGToN, the son Of slave woman, is
self-made," with his preliminary edu-
cation obtained from an industrial
school; man who has led "a life of
action rather than Of student. DU
BoIs was born in freedom, in Massa-
ohusetts village, is graduate of Fisk
University, has a. doctorate of phlos-
ophy from Harvard, is student
representative OF the most intellectual
side of the life of the American negro"
has written some books Of dstinc-
lively scholarly character, and his po-
sition among the students of American
social conditions is very good" That
is, WASHINGTON represents the negro
I" in his industrial career" DU BoIs the
negro in his higher cultural aspect"
BOOKER WAsHINGroN's views as to tho
means and methods best adapted to the
advancement OF the negroes are we'll

progress and the careful establishment
and maintenance Of friendly relations
with the superior white race. Last

peror or as King Of Prussia, the right to
veto the election Of any particular Cardi-
nal. Neither would claim Of the Italian
monarch to exercise such a right be al
lowed by the Conclave, although such a
claim might be based tentatively on the
conquest OF the Kingdom Of the Two
Sicilies, which undoubtedly possessed the
veto power. That the right, on the other
hand, belongs to Austria has never been
disputed, and the right would have been
exercised at the two last Conclaves,
which. it will be remembered, were held
in lS48 and 1873, had the Austrian Cardi-
mails, charged with the exercise of the
power, reached Rome in time.
1t is well known that Austra's pros
pective representatives in the Con-
clave We're instructed to veto the
selection of Cardinal MAsTAI FER
RETTI on the former occasion, and that
of Cardinal PEccI on the latter. We
need not point out how materially the
history of the Papacy might have been
changed had Austria's intentions been
carried out What the House of Haps-
burg twice intended to do on its own
account might now be done on behalf OF
an ally who is vitality interested in ex-
Guiding determined opponent from the
papal chair. Nor can we doubt that the
request of VICTOR EMMANUEL iii. would
be supported strenuously by WILLIAM
H., who is keenly alive to the obstacles
which his Italian ally has to surmount in
order to uphold the triple coalition.
The veto power, however, is weapon
that may be turned against the Triple
Alliance. Neither would it be necessary
for that purpose that the Cardinals vio-
lently hostile to the Quirinal, if unable
by superiority of numbers to defeat a
pro-Italian candidate, should invoke the
help of the French Government, which
did not assert the veto power in the last
Conclave, and which apparently has no
intention of asserting it at the present
time. Few members of the Sacred Col
lege would stoop to solicit favor from
the prosecutor of the religious orders.
Nor is it by any means certain that the
French Government would consent to
exclude Cardinal desired by the Italian
monarchy, with which it is now disposed
10 cultivate cordial relations. There re-
mains Spain, whose veto power is not
only incontrovertible but was motor
riously exercised in 1881 TO forbid the
choice of Cardinal GIUsTINIANI. II is
usually taken for granted that the Madrid
Government could be prevailed upon by
the enemies of the Quirinal in the Sacred
College to exclude from the Papacy any
Cardinal suspected of favoring a con-
cliatory policy toward the Italian mon
archy. 1t must be borne in mind, how
ever, that the relations of the Emperor
WILLIAM II. with the existing Spanish
Ministry are extremely friendly, and that
the Queen Mother, being herself Haps-
burg princess, might strive to carry out
the wishes Of the Emperor FRANCIS
JOSEPH.
That no effort will be spared by King
VICTOR EMMANUEL III. to avert the cleo
ton of Pope vehemently anti-Italian
is obvious, and we have indicated some
Of the measures that may be taken to
that end.

The Triple Alliance and the Conclavc

The Triple Alliance is an artificial
league in the sense that it does not repre-
sent a bond of International sympathy,
but was brought about by sovereigns in
iiuenCed by statesmen. Neither the Ger
mans nor the German-speaking inhabi-
tants of the Cis-Leithan kingdom, nor,
again, the Hungarians, love the Italians,
and the last-named people have not for
gotten their age-long oppression at the
hands of the House of Hapsburg. The
Nadicals and Socialists, who compose
the bulk of the supporters of the present
Italian Ministry in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties would gladly rcpudiate If they could
the existing coalition between the gov
ernments Of Rome and Of Vienna. For
that very reason it behooves the Emperor
WILLIAM II. and the Emperor FRANCIS
JOSEPH to strengthen the hands Of their
ally, King VICTOR EMMANUEL H., and
10 render political cooperation with them
selves as acceptable as possible to the
latter's subjects by assisting him to avert
the selection of new Pope flexibly OPP
posed to the adoption OF conciiatory
policy toward the Quirinal.
How could such assistance effectively
he rendered?
Among the Italian Cardinals from
whom the choice of the next Pope will
undoubtedly be made there is scarcely
one whose views Of the attitude main
tanned toward the Italian monarchy by
Plus TX. and LEO XIII. are not thor
oughly known. Most of them are far
more hostile to Italian unification than
Cardinal PEccr was supposed to be when
PIUs TX. declined to make him Prefeot
of the Propaganda and tried to render
him ineligible for the papacy by COM
pelling him to accept the post of Gamer
lengo. On the other hand, there are two
or three, notably Cardinal CAPECELA-
TRIO, who are not only Jealous Catholics,
but also patriots, and who would gladly
see modus vivendi arranged between
the Quirinal and the Vatican. How can
the allies of VICTOR EMMANUEL III.
effect the elevation OF relatively &C
commodating Cardinal to tho papal
throne?
Such an outcome Of the Conclave
might be furthered, if not accom-
plished, by iudicious use OF Austria's
power Of exclusion. WILLIAM H., of
course, being a Protestant sovereign,

1t has been learned since Heisler's
arrest that his true name is Charles

A strange coincidence in connection

ASK THE BLACKSMITH.
If You Can't Read, Seems to be the
Opinion in the Heisler Case.

Fargo Forum: An interesting ard
unique stow in connection with the
arrest of Frank Heisler at Bismarck,
charged with raising a Sc money order
authorities, to whom the prisoner was
turned over by the sheriff at Bismarck.
Heisler denies that he is guilty of
the offense of raising the money or
der. He duplicates Tom Heisler. who
he represents to be his father. and in
support of his statement ~ has pro-
duced a letter purporting tohave been
written by Tom Heisler, father of the
young man, who is a half breed Indian.
The letter in question is postmarked
Fargo. 1t is addressed to my Dear
Son." and signed: "Your loving
Father, Tom Heisler." In this letter
the father states that the son will find
enclosed a money order for $50,
which the boy is instructed to use for
the purchase of clothing. The items
of wearing apparel are given in detail
and the son is admonished in the mis-
sive as follows: "As you cannot read
this take it to a policeman" Young
Heisler states hat this letter was
sent to him at Bismarck by his father
and that when he got it an officer read
it to him and advised him of its n
tents. He then took the order to the
postofice and demanded that 1t be
cashed. The letter Of advice only
| called for Sc and the money order
| clerk refused to honor the draft. The
young man states that he never was
in Fargo.
The scheme was a very unique one
and well planned. and had it not been
for the letter Of advice sent to the
Bismarck ONCE by the Fargo postmas-
ter 1t would undoubtedly have been
worked successfully. But young Heis-
Ter was ignorant Of the fact that a
letter Of advice accompanied money
orders, and therein lies the secret of
| his fall.
Heisler while denying that he read
writing admits that he can write and
was given an opportunity to demon
strate his Spencerian ability by the Of
icers. This specimen obtained since

ton for the money order and the let.
