for months past, experimenting with
the tactics used in the German Navy. and
training his officers and mon thoroughly.
Sufficient torpedo instruction IL not given
to the officers in general, however, 1t 10
said, as only three officers were assigned
TO tho torpedo school at Newport last
summer, and al Of these were detached
before tho course was completed. While
the officers and mon OF the hotillas under
Lieut.. CHANDLER and Lieut.. DAVIS are
receiving instruction and experience OF
the best, their number IL small, and it il
urged that many more could and should
be trained In handling tho torpedo craft.
The instruction Of midshipmen on these
vessels this summer Is step In the right
direction; but IL ie urged that commits
stoned officers also should have a regu-
lar course of study OF the now ves-
sells and their component parts-elec-
tricity, engineering, torpedo work and
the necessary drills and exercises.
Tho lack Of navy officers is undoubtedly
responsible for the small number OF
those instructed In torpedo work and
torpedo weasel handling; but the i'm
portanoe OF such instruction cannot
have been overlooked BY the Depart
ment, and it Is probable that the prac-
teal instruction OF the midshipmen is
only the beginning Of plan which shall
give us trained officers to take command
of all our torpedo vessels in case of need.

The South BROOKLYN Italians who cele-

wanted to give show Of the devil CHASED
by . boy. Plays Of this sort. the chasing
drowning, burning or hanging Of the devil
JUDAS IsoARIoT. Winter and 30 on, arc or
have been common enough In various parts
Of the world. At present the play Of chas-
ing the devilfish may have supplanted the
older sport. The South Brooklyn police
wouldn't let the devil be chased. Their
refusal was due to the fact that fireworks
were to be used In the hunt, and no permit
had been obtained So the devil didn't
have to sprint. We can't believe that the
devil cares 30 much for fireworks a. people
suppose. He must have had enough Of
noise and advertising. But In chasing him,
a. In chsaing the devilfish or octopus, q
tremendous hullabaloo Ia half the fun. Were
the South Brooklyn police sincere? Did
they not feel that 1t was a reflection on
them to represent the devil as still on the
run and not yet driven out Of South
Brooklyn 4?

Ob,tcr Dtcta in the Negro Suffrage Case

To THE EDITOR OF THE SCS-Sir: l AM
trying to get at the meaning Of a sentence in

Justice Holmes. April a. In determining
whether a court Of equity can take jurisdic-
ton one Of the first questions is what II can
do to enforce any order it may make"
The word enforce" is eQuivocal: in one
sense the sentence quoted suggests some
confusion Of the Judiciary with the Executive
like that on which the Supreme Court passed
in 1892. In Chisholm. Executor. =. Georgia.
In answer to the contention that a Judgment
against Georgia could not be enforced, At
torney General Randolph said, Although
no mode Of execution should be invented
why shall not the court proceed to jud ement?"

Let Va go as far az we can; and II at the end
Of the business not withsta ndins the powers
given us in the fourteenth section OF the
Judiciary law. we meet dimCulties insur-

VESTS Tribute TO THE DOG
Remarkable Speech the Missouri Senator
Made to . Jury.
From the NashrII

From the Nashville American.
One OF the most eloquent tributes ever
paid to the dog was delivered by Senator
Vest OF Missouri some years ago. He was
attending court in a country town. and while
waiting for the trial Of a case In which he
was Interested was urged by the attorneys
In a dog case to help them. Voluminous
evidence was introduced to show that the
defendant had shot the dog in malice. while
other evidence went to show that the dog
had attacked defendant Vest took no part
in the trial and was not sposed to speak.
The attorneys, however. urged him to speak.
Being thus rged. he arose. scanned the face
Of each juryman for moment and said:
Gentlemen Of the jury: The best friend
man has in the world may turn against
him and become his enemy His son or
daughter that he has reared with loving
care may prove ungrateful. Those who are
nearest and dearest to US. those whom We
trust with our happiness and our good name
may become traitors to their faith. The
money that a man has he may lose. It flies
away from him. perhaps when he needs 1t
most. A man reputation may be sacrihced
n moment OF ill-considered action. the
people who are prone TO fall on their kneer
to do us honor when success Is with us may
be the first to throw the stone Of malice when
failure settles its cloud upon our heads
The one absolutely unself1sh friend that
man can have IN this selfish world. the one
that never deserts him, the ono that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is bis dog
4 mans dog stands by him in prosperity
and in poverty. in health and in sickness,
He will sleep ON the cold ground. whore the
wintry winds blow and the snow drives
ferccly. il only ne may be near his masters
side. lie will kiss the hand that has no food
to offer; he win lick the wounds and sores
that come In encounter with the Iou ghness
Of the world He. guards the sleep Of his
all other friends desert he remains. When
pieces he Ia as constant In his love as the
sun in its journeys throu ch the heavens.
"If fortune drives the master forth an out
cast in the world. friendless and homeless.
the faithful dog asks no higher privilege
thnn that Of accompanying him, to guard
again danger, to fight against his enemies
And when the last scene Of all comes. and
death takes the master In its embrace. and
hs body is laid away in the cold ground no
matter II all other friends pursue theiE way.
there bv Tie eravesde will the noble dog be
found. his head between his paws, his eyes
sad. bur open in alert wntchfulness. faith
iul and true even in death.
Then Vest sat. down lie had spoken in
a low voice without gesture. He made no
reference 10 the evidence or the merits OF
the cas,. when lie finished Judge and jury
were WIRING their eyes The jury filed out,
but soon entered with verdict OF $500 for
the plaintiff whost dog was shot: and u was
said that some ofeke Jurors wanted to hang
the defendant.
