Ranrasents+ive Iessler does net seem to be
,,;+oI,,- in,nressed with the gravity of his own
declaration before the House Committee Oh
Naval Affairs of which he is a member that
an unnamed person attempted to brihe him win
81 900 TO support an appropriation for adai-
;ional Holland submarine torpedo boats. MI
IessIer. finding himself in an uncomfortable
nosftion because of the sensation he mas pro-
duced, and perhaps realizing that IL "lll DE dll-
ficult 10 substantiate his accusauon, Is no"
ouoted rs saving that too much fuss has been
made about the matter and that he is sorry he
mentioned it. If he really is of the opinion that
If world be well to drop the inquiry he is mis-
taken. The House has adopted the proper
course sn ordering a thorough investigation. Ii
bribery was ATTEMPTED all the facts relating to
that attempt ought to be exposed to public
view together, we should say, with whatever
evidence the committee can find showing that
the favor of newspapers has been purchased
through free distribution of the company s
stock.
But, while entirely clear on that point, we note
with dissatisfaction the statement OF a member
of the subcommittee that this scandal VIII
probably kill all future legislation for sub
marine hoats" That would he irrational
consequence. # the navy needs more boats OF
the Holland type ii ought to have them'
whether corrupt attempt to procure an ap-
propriation for that purpose was made or not
The question is as to the real value OF such
craft and if it is not easy to get AT once a de-
cisive answer to that question because the IN
vention is still in an experimental stage, Con
eress ought at least to be able 10 determine, by
means of the expert advice at its command,
either that it is or that it is not worth While to
help the company carry on its business IN the
hope of important advantages hereafter.
We feel bound to add that according to our
understanding the Navy Department and the
best instructed officers OF the navy are not the
warmest admirers of the Holland boats, and
that if additional ones should be purchased 1t
would be against, rather than in conformity with
the highest professional opinion. But perhaps
we are mistaken as to that and if it is fact
that some of our contemporaries have been pre-
sented with stock we certainly cherish no
grudge against the company for having left us
out of the distribution.

Ii is no particular business of the uhlted
States whether Arthur Lynch is punished 1or
his alleged treason against the BRITISH Cro"p
or is let go scot free. Neither is II any OF our
business generally speaking. whether his couh-
sci utters sense or nonsense in his behalf but
when that counsel emits some particularly OF
fensive nonsense rejecting upon the United
States il is perhaps pertinent TO remark, IN
passing that he is talking drivel.
Thus we notice that counsel for the defence
Yesterday made the astounding statement that
there are 2O00000O people living in this coun-
try who possess two nationalities AS mat
ter of fact concerning the nativity OF the peo-
pie of the United States that is grossly untrue
The census of 1900 showed that fewer than
105O0O00 of our population were born in for
eign lands. Assuming, therefore, that every
foreign born inhabftant of this country pos
sesses two nationalties." the learned counsel
was guilty of an exaggeration of nearly 100 per
cent. AS TO the matter of fact concerning the
nationality of these people, however, he is
still further from tho truth. Most, nearly ALL
of these foreign born residents of the United
States are legally naturalized citizens. They
bear allegiance to the United States, and to the
United States alone. They claim the protection
of the United States and of the United States
alone They have United States nationality,
and that alone. AS for the few who are not
naturalized they bear allegiance to the
United States aud claim protection from it
save such as is due in common hospitality.
They have their old nationality, and that alone.
There may be a freak in some dime museum
who possesses two nationalities' If there
is, he doesn't advertise in The Tribune. and we
don't know him. But we pity Arthur Lynch
if that is the best his counsel can do.

thinking Of the conduct of the German war
ships on the venezuelan coast The reason for
the shelling of San Carlos is not yet revealed,
If indeed. II is known TO any one but the com

ever il is the incident, occurring at the very
time when peaceful negotiations are in progress
must he regarded as a deplOrable one, and
one calculated to make mischief. 1t is not to be
supposed the hombardn1ent ordered for
the purpose of delaying. obstructing and in
general making more difficult the pending
diplomacy for the restoration Of friendly rela-
tiens between Germany and Venezuela and
the settlement of their controversy, but there
are grave reasons to fear that it will exert
some influence in that unfortunate direction
The effect upon the Venezuelan mind, official
and popular, must be exasperating. If an up-
pleasant impression is produced in the United
States and an inclination to regard German
operations in American waters with little
more strictness, our German friends viii have
only the preeipitancy or the indiscreticn Of
their naval commanders TO blame for it.
For while no official explanation of the bonn
flardmeat has been made, il is difficult TO con-
ceive any which viii not leave the onus of re
sponsibiIity upon the German commanders

for their act The case would be little diff
ferent if it were shown that the Venezuelans
hogan the firing But even then we might well
ask why the ships went in so close as TO give
the opportunity for such attack. Such ap
proach was surely not necessary for the
maintenance Of the blockade, and an honest de
sire for the facilitation of a peaceful settlement
should have moved the German officers TO avoid
even the appearance of wanton annoyance.
What is certain is that the forts and villages

STUDYTNG AUTOMOBILES.

In order to learn all that it wishes to know
about horseless carriages, the public needs com
petitive tests on the road and exhibitions of
motionless vehicles like that which has been
held in the Madison Square Garden during the
last few days. No adequate idea of what an
automobile is good for can be had without q
practical trial for endurance and speed. Com
paratively few people can witness such con-
tests. however. The great majority Of those
who are interested from the possible buyers
point of view must rely on the press for their
knowledge of the outcome Of automobile
trials. They do not get it first hand. More
over, while newspaper accounts may be ac-
curate they do not answer all the questions
which arise in the readers mind. At regular
exhibition one can catechise to his hearts con-
tent inspect at his leisure, and deliberately com-
pare machines whose differences are not mani
fest at a glance. Thus he is better qualified to
purchase intelligently than would otherwise be
possible In the mean time he insensibly aC-
auires much mechanical information that will
prove valuable when he comes to operate a
machine on the road himself. Shows of this
kind have twofeld value.
Whoever has scrutinzed the vehicles shown
at the Madison Square Garden this year must
have been impressed with two facts-the number
Of innovations in the last twelve months is
limited, and American makers are still follow
ing foreign models rather closely. Perhaps the
most striking novelties are the use of a single
shaft and bevel gearing in the chainless type
and the addition of a gasolene engine and
DYNAMO to an electric carriage to recharge the
batteries of the latter while on the road. 1t
is likely that the tendency toward simplifica-
ton revealed in the first of these ideas will
continue TO be felt ia coming years, but it is
doubtful If the other one, though useful tenn
porarily, has come to stay. The lack of orig
inality in American design is easily understood
Europe has led the world both in the evolution
and use of the automobile. This country
brides herself nevertheless, on her excellence in
mechanical invention, and it is pleasant to be
told that her automobile manufacturers do not
expect always to be i1nitators. Even to-day
their products surpass foreign vehicles in
beauty and finish.
Another lesson of the present show is that the
automobile is steadily increasing in popularity.
where only hundreds were disposed Of a short
time ago One single house is said to have
marketed no less than fifteen hundred machines
since the opening of the exhibition. The auto
mobile is not yet perfect. Perhaps il never will

uncertain value are to be expected from time TO

CANDIDATES. EXPENSES.

Press dispatches have erroneOusly reported
Justice HerTicks recent decision in the case
of successful candidate for public office who
had failed to file sworn statement of his cleo
ton expenses. The Penal Code provides that
such a failure is msdemeanor and renders
the person guilty of it ineligible to occupy the
Office TO which he may have been elected. Judge
HerTick holds that the law is repugnant to the
constitution, and void so far as it makes a
forfeiture of office the consequence Of such
failure, inasmuCh as the constitution, after pre-
scribing the form Of oath to be taken by public
'tion or test shall be required as qualifca-
candidate who does not obey the law may be
punished for a misdemeanor, though he can
not on that account be kept out of office
In our opinion there would be little reason
for regret If this whole section of the Penal Code
validated. AS a means Of preventing the i'm
proper use of money by candidates to further
their election it has never amounted to much.
Nobody doubts that in many cases the sworn
statement to campaign contributions, though
perhaps technically truthful, conceals facts far
more important than those which it reveals. 1t
does not show, for example whether or not
money was paid in advance for a nomination
or for what purpose q campaign committee
used the money it received from a candidate.
If the law were capable of bringing such de-
tails TO light the results would certainly be in
teresting and might be salutary. AS it stands
it probably leads to some false swearing and
to many immoral evasions of its spirit, without
doing any appreciabe good
