The AdmirnI,s Wish.

The recent interview of Admiral
Dewey in which he said the American
navy had nothing to fear from Ger
many, and the pother kicked up by
Germany about it, reminded the adj
miraPs friends of a similar interview
he gave out on his way home from
Manila to the triumphant reception in
New York, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Somewhere on the cruise there came
aboard the Olympia a newspaper cor
respondent with a letter of introduce
ton to the admiral from a common
friend. The admiral talked freely. The
correspondent printed what he said.
One sentiment was that, sooner or
later, this country is to have a war
with Germany.
After the interview was printed the
admiral stood by what he had said.
AS a sailor man and not a politician
he did not try to impeach the report
err Still, he thought there might pos
sibly be an inquiry about the inter
view, either from this country or Ger
many, and he decided to prepare a
statement, for he knew he should be
very busy when he reached New
York.
The admiral thought about the
statement for some days. Then he
concluded what he wanted to say was
this: Yes, 1 said what the reporter
quoted me as saying, and l hope I
snail be alive when it happens"

THE DRY DOCK SCHEME.

Yesterday we published a letter
written at Rome, Italy, by Mr.. H. P.
Smart, one Of Savannah's best known
citizens, in which he expresses a wish
to become a member of the Chamber
of Commerce and discusses the advan-
tages which a dry dock and a ship
yard would be to this city The letter
suggests the question, What has be-
come of the scheme to build a dry dock
about which there was so much talk
couple of months or so
ago? The last time it was
brought to the attention of the
public 1T was the understanding that
it was still under consideration with a
prospect that the efforts that were be-
ing made to secure it would be sue
cessful
Mr.. Smart is very enthusiastic in re-
gard to it. He seems to have given 1t
great deal of thought, particularly
since he was here last January. He
has seen what is being done in the
direction of shipbuilding on the Pacific
coast and he is firmly convinced that
nothing into which our people could
put money would be of greater benefit
to Savannah. He points out that there
would be plenty of work for dry dock
and shipbuilding plant and that with
deep water in our harbor there will be
steady increase in the number of
vessels coming here for cargoes. In
his opinion the investment would cas-
lily pay s per cent, and the tone
Of his letter leaves the impression that
he is ready to put money into a plant
of that kind.
We do not know whether the Cham
Der of Commerce has taken up this
question of a dry dock and ship-re-
pairing plant or not, but If it hasn't
would it not be advisable for it to give
it some attention? 1t may be that the
scheme is further advanced than the
public is aware of. If it isn't IL may be
in the power of the Chamber of Com
merce to contribute something towards
making it a success.
Mr.. Smart did not mention Mr..
Rourke's projected marine railway for
which the latter is asking a concession
from the city. Perhaps he has not
had his attention called to it. There
is no doubt. however, that it would be
a big addition to the city's industries
and a great help in building up the
city,

Bangs Bright Boys.

John kendrick Bangs reputation as
humorist is firmly fixed, says the
Mail and Express, but such small re-
nown as financier which he possesses
is overshadowed by the talent displayed
by his two younger sons, aged respec-
lively about ten and eleven years. Mr..
Bangs allows the young men rs cents
each week as spending money, which
amount seemed to be ample in view of
the fact that all expenses such as car
fares and club dues are paid by their
doting father.
Mr.. Bangs observed that the lads did
not save much out of their allowance,
and wishing to create a spirit of thrift
in their young bosoms, made a propo-
sition to give them each Monday an
amount equal to what they had saved
from their spending money the pre-
vious week, in addition to the regular
allowance. The boys put their heads
together with result somewhat start
ling to their father, for they came to
him last Monday, each exhibiting 25
cents-the entire previous week S
spending money, which they had he
roically saved.
Mr.. Bangs handed to each of them
30 cents, and then casually asked:
What are you going to do with that
IS cents apiece, boys?"
"Oh, were going to save it, and next
week We'll each get a dollar'n half"
cheerfully responded the elder
And the week after We'll get 49,"
said mis- brother
We'll have enough saved up by the
Fourth of July to have a bully time. "
remarked the first one
Mr.. Bangs made some rapid calcu-
lations, based on the boys idea of what
doubling their savings meant, and
found that if he kept up the agreement
as they saw it, he would have to take
Mr.. Morgan.into partnership in about
two months. AS a result, a new COM
pact was entered into, and although
there was a slight GOODNESS for a day
or two between father and sons, all
is now serene. Mr.. Bangs having
bought immunity from further finan-
cial schemes.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Indianapolis Qnd.) News (Dem. }
says: THE word graft, as used in
politics, is, of course, not a classic
English word, but yet it rises some
what above the level of mere slang. 1t
is a necessary word, for if it did not
exist we should have to invent another
one to describe the character of the
government of many American cities.
There is the police graft, the politicians
graft, the contractors graft. to mention
no others. There is probably not a
city in the United States in which some
of these varieties do not flourish"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says: THE real lesson to be gathered
from the demonstration in favor of the
the Democratic candidate for President
is the open desire of the mass of the
party to go back seven years and try
to forget all that has happened in the
interim whilst following a mistaken
leadership in the free silver wilderness.
Cleveland typifies the old ideals. 1t is
not the man so much as what the man
stands for that creates a reminiscent
enthusiasm among thousands of his
countrymen who appreciate the neces-
sity of bringing back the government
to its constitutional mornings"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: THE stock of the Allan
tic Transport Company was largely held
in Baltimore. 1t paid 10 per cent. divf-
dends, and was quoted at 275 when Mr.
Morgan invited the company to go into
his International mercantile marine
combination. For each 100 shares the
stockholders of the Atlantic Transport
Company received 800 preferred shares
in the combination and 100 common
shares, which 400 shares are now val
ued in the market at about 10000,
against $27,500 for the 100 transport
company shares given in exchange. Mr..
Morgan's reputation as a disinterested
f1nancier is not as great in Baltimore
just now as it was"
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem. }
says: But the prevailing sentiment
against third term is entirely sepa-
rate from Mr.. Cleveland's personality.
The unwritten law against third terms
in the presidential chair of the United
States is not to be broken in any case
When Washington refused to accept
third term, a precedent was set which
the people do well to cherish. II Mr..
Cleveland were nominated again, he
would be defeated not because he is
Mr.. Cleveland, but because he has al
ready been President twice. Had he
served but one term, he would sweep
the country In 1904. Conditions, how
ever, are inexorable, and the gentle
men who are booming Mr.. Cleveland
for another term had just as well stop.
fhey must be content with his hon
orable position as the greatest private
eitlzen in the world

Information received by the State
Department indicates that it is by no
means certain that the Colombian
! Congress will ratify the Panama canal
treaty. 1t seems that 1t was the in
tention of President Marroquin of Co.
lombian to call a special session of Con-
gress to pass upon the treaty, but he
is in doubt now whether he will do so.
His plan was to have Congress meet
about the 18th of this month. The
congressional elections, however, are
not as favorable to the government as
he expected they would be- Indeed,
there is grave doubt as to whether the
government will have a majority, and
it is the understanding that the treaty
is not to the liking of the opposition.
1t does not appear in the dispatches
why the opposition is against the
treaty. but it is probable that it thinks
that it can get better terms from the
United States.
1t is not certain, however, that Pres
ident Marroquin will not be able to
carry out the engagements into which
he has entered with the United States.
The Colombian Constitution contains
some provisions enlarging the author
ity of the chief executive under GER
tain conditions. If, for instance, there
should be signs of an insurrection he
might exercise the powers of a dicta-
tor, and ratify the treaty notwith-
standing the fact that Congress was
against it.
OF course the United States would
prefer to obtain title to the canal in
the regular way, but If they could not
they might accept such title as Pres
ident Marroquin could furnish and
defend it. But would not title OBJ
tanned from a dictator be made an issue
in this country? Would not those who
are opposed to the Panama route en-
deavor to bring about complications
with the view Of ultimately defeating
the treaty? 1t is not clear of course
how they could do this, but there is no
doubt that they could make a great
deal of trouble.
1t is stated that there are rumors of
a movement to sever the isthmus from
Colombian sovereignty. If these ru-
mors are well founded they will doubt
less afford President Marroquin all the
excuse he wants to declare himself a
dictator. In fact, it is probable that
it would not be difficult to stir up suffl-
Client disorder to give him such an ex-
cuse.
In the event that an extra session is
not called Congress will meet in reg
ular session on July 20. The opinion
seems to prevail that If the opposition
controls Congress nothing will be done
in regard to the treaty. Delay in the
ratification of the treaty might result
in complications that would prevent
the United States from acquiring the
canal property as soon as was expected.
The price which the United States are
to pay the Panama Canal Company
for the property is $4O,O00,O 900, but the
money is not to be paid until title is
acquired from Colombia. There would
be keen disappointment, particularly In
the South, if the arrangements of the
United States for obtaining possession
of the canal property should be seri-
ously interrupted.

THE GOVERNORS AT ST. LOUIS.


The complaints of the Governors
who visited st. Louis on the occasion
of the dedication of the buildings of
the Louisiana Purchase Fair afford
the Chicago papers an opportunity to
remind st. Louis that ten years ago
she was so unjust as to criticise Chi
cago for failing to give satisfaction to
distinguished guests invited to that
city to take part in dedicating build
ings of the great fair held there and
for other purposes and they are utiliz-
ing 1t. They are telling st. Louis that
if she had known then as much as she
knows now about entertaining Cover
nors and other people of prominence
on occasions when there are great
crowds she would not have been 50
free with her criticisms.
AS a matter of fact many of the
Governors and other distinguished
guests who visited st. Louis on the
occasion of the dedication of the fair
buildings were very sorry they accept
ed the invitation TO be present. Gov.
Odell of New York and his party seem
to have Jared pretty badly. The New
York Legislature gave him a big sum
of money with which to make the visit,
and, of course, he took along with him
party is quoted as saying: There was
no use for Governors at st. Louis last
week. Governors were of no more ac-
count than shoe strings. The only
folks who received any consideration
were the President, Mr.. Cleveland and
the diplomatic corps. When the Gov
ernor's train reached st. Louis we
were shunted into a cattle yard be-
tween pigs and beeves and refrigera-
tor cars, and there we were allowed
to remain three hours before anybody
came near us, or before we could get
near anybody else. The odors of that
cattle yard will remain with US for
ever"
1t seems that the New York Cover
nor's party were finally settled away
in a hotel that would hardly have been
tolerated on the Bowery in New York,
and yet they were charged prices that
were startling to them. These and
many other things are being told in
the New York newspapers as indicat-
ing that the st. Louis people under
took job that it couldn't handle sue
cessfully, and that they had better go
into training before the opening of the
fair if they hope to make a success of
handling the crowds of visitors.
The trouble doubtless was that the
Governors expected too much. They
wanted more attention than could be
given them under the circumstances.
The committee that was appointed to
look after the New York Governor
went to the wrong depot, and wander
ed around two or three hours before,
finding out where he was. Other Gov
errors had similar experiences. The
intention of the st. Louis managers
was all right, but they were new at
the business. Doubtless they will do
better as they get experience. Cover
nors and other distinguished individ-
uals, however, ought not to be unreal
sonable in their expectations on occa-
sions when the crowds make it prac-
tlcally impossible to give them the at
tention they would be given under
more favorable conditions.
