Why We Want More Ships,

From the Philadelphia Press.
The statement In a Washington dispatch
that the Navy Department has 534 vessels
fit for service may lead some persons to
inquire why any more should be provided
but the least bit of analysis will answer
the question. The list begins: First-class
battle ships, 10; second class, l: armored
cruisers, ., and that makes up the list Of
ships for heavy fighting And some of the
battle ships are not modern. There are
thirty-nine tugs. twenty-three converted
yachts and large number of other yes
sells of that kind of no use whatever in
fighting battles. The navy is small There
are number of battle ships building and
authorized. but. a rule, the time taken
to complete ship is SO long that they are
in danger of being out of date before they
are commissioned. The nation is far from
being in a position to defend itself on the
water from first-class power with ii good
navy

The BlunderS of Bourke.

In the dearth of campaign ammunition
against the fusonists the Tammauy orators
ana organs in New YORK are resorting to
some curious expedents.. Bourke Cochran
indicated the strIngency the other night in
the course of his first speech when he de-
t.lured that the Low administration was the
worst since Tweed. Alongside of him sat
Controller Grout, very large part of the
Low administration. who was later COM
PEELED to deny the only specific charge adj
Nauced by Cochran 10 support his sweeping
denunciation. Last night again Cochran,
forced to utterance afresh by the attacks
upon him for his bunders and his shifting
record. went further and declared that
aside from charges of corruption, aside
from the immortality of wholesale plumber,
judged merely by it's results to the tax
payer and to the people. this government
tiUsionD is worse than Tweed's ever was
just what this meant was wisely left to
the imagination of the audience. save that
the speaker granted this qualification:
Bear in mind that | make no charge Of
corruption. ] DO not believe that any men,
her of this administration government is
corrupt in the sense that he will accept a
bride. Now. when | say that do not say
it because they are any better than any
other officers of government | have ever
known, but simply because they are not
long enough in Office to have learned how
to become corrupt"
This ridiculous twaddle is exceedingly an
nuying to the Tammany leaders. who real
jzc that in the minds of intelligent voters
it means that Mr.. Cochran is pleading for
II chance to give two of the fusion adminis-
traitors. who have mot been in Office long
cauuGh to learn how to be corrupt" two
years more for experience. Again did Mr..

The Coal DUTY.
From the st. Paul Dispatch.

There is no such acuteness in the fuel
situation now as when last year. an aro,s.
ed and enraged public opinion obliged a re-.
luctant Congress to set the tariff door ajar
sufficiently to put anthracite on the free
list and to suspend by rebating duties on
bituminous coal for one year. What will
the coming Congress do? What is there to
justify it in refusing extension of the sus-
pension list or of putting that fuel on the
free list? There has been no 'convulsion in
the coal business, because coal has been free
of tax for twelve month. Wages of min
ers have not been reduced. Why restore a
duty proven to be absolutely needless?

The Districts Terminal Work.

There should be no question of the prompt
adoption by Congress of the joint resolu-
ton which has been prepared by the COM
missioners for the appropriation of $oO,oV
for the commencement of the work TO De
done by the District in connection with the
new union terminal project. This sum Will
be urgently needed before many months
have gone by. Indeed, it would have been
the part of wisdom to include the approprl-
alton In the last budget. SO that the COM
mssioners could take up their responsibill-
ties soon the enterprise of the railroad
companies demanded The Districts &C
cOuntability in the premises is confined 10
the changes in street grades outside of the
right of way. but this involves a heavy ex-
penditure and much preparatory work The
present hope of both the community and
the corporations is that the terminal may
be in condition to handle the enormous
traffic incident to the next inaugurauon:
To this end it is imperative that the city's
street traffic facilities should be at no time
seriously lessened by the closing of thor
Oughfares. Only few streets will be di-
rectly affected by the viaduct work In
Northeast Washington, but they are I'M
portant, apd those that are to remain open
will have an increased value to the people.
The Districts share of the work should be
kept up to date, both for the accommoda-
ton of the citizens and to prevent the
charge being later laid at the doors Of the
Commissioners that they were in any part
responsible for the delaying of the rail-
roads construction.

Things to Forget.

If you would increase your hap
piness and prolong your HE, forget
your neighbours faults. Forget the
fault finding and give a little
thought to the cause which
provoked it. Forget the pecul-
iarties of your friends and only re-
member the good points which
makes you fond of them. Forget
all personal quarrels or histories
you may have heard by accident
and which If were repeated would
seem a thousand times worse than
they really are. Blot out as far as
possible all the disagreeables Of life;
they will come, but they will grow
larger when you remember them,
and the constant thought OF the
acts of meanness, or worse still,
malice, will only tend to make 1t
more familiar with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable from yester-
day; start out with clear sheet for
today and write upon 1t for sweet
memory's sake only those things
which are loved and are lovable.
