"OLD IRONSIDES."

Surprise and regret are felt at the current re-
ports concerning the frigate Constitution, pest
known as "Old Ironsides." The venerable yes
sci is said to be leaking badly, to be decaying
and to be in danger of performing the disas-
trous evolution technically described as turn
ing turtle" Accepting these tales as true, the
public would like to know If the vessel has been
properly cared for. and if so, how it is that 1t
is not in as good a state Of preservation as Mel
sons Victory, which lies at anchor at Ports
mouth, trim. tight and stanch enough to per-
nit the firing of salutes from its batteries. The
Constitution is not so old as the Victory, and
it should have been as well built National re-
gard for the vessel is, we fancy, as deep as 1t
was in DR.. Holiness day. or, If not 1t GER
tainly should be, and it would be most graft
flying to the public to be assured either that
"Old Ironsides' is in a much better condition
than current dispatches represent, or that 1t
will forthwith be restored to the best posi-
bic condition and henceforth be most jealousy
guarded.
We must. however. express reluctant dissent
from the course proposed by public spirited
and benevolent citizen of Brooklyn, namely,
that the Constitution should be purchased from
the federal government by popular contribu-
tons from the school children of Brooklyn, and
then be brought around to this port for future
preservation. There can be no objection to &C
quanting the school children with the history
of the frigate to having the boys declaim
Holiness spirited lyric. But the schools are
not properly collecting agencies, and the schol-
ars are not properly canvassers for funds, and
they should not be made such. no matter
for how praseworthy q cause. Children have
enough to do to learn the three RS without
being set to collecting money, and there are
enough petty rivalries and animosities among
them without those that this scheme would en-
gender.
The scheme is undoubtedly we'll meant, but
we must regard it as i'll advised. The propo-
sition may, however, serve the useful purpose
of emphasizing the public interest in "Old
Ironsides" and of stimulating the official custo-
dams of the vessel to more careful fulhlment
of their duties toward it. The cost of putting
and keeping it in good repair and in as nearly
as possible the appearance it presented in It's
heroic days would be the merest trit1e in com
parison with other expenditures Of no more
Importance and certainly Of less interest, and
would be grudged by nobody fit to be called an
American citizen. If a proper course be pur-
sued we see no reason why the old ship may
not survive a priceless relic and a patriotic
when another century shall have
been added to its record.

RERATE CONVICTIONS.

The governments success in bringing four Of
ficers of a great beef packing company to JUS
tice is a cause for heartiest congratulaton- Yes
terday in Chicago these four officials, fearing to
stand trial. entered pleas of guilty and threw
themselves upon the mercy Of the court They
acknowledged having entered into conspiracy
TO secure railroad rebates in violation of the fed
eral statutes. In view of their confession Judge
Humphrey announced that he would show some
Ienency. The penalties provided by law ranged
from nominal fines without imprisonment to
heavier fines, with Imprisonment for two years
or under The judge imposed fine of $4,000
on one defendant and fines of 81, 900 each on the
three others.
While mere money penalties involve no great
hardship to men engaged in large business oper-
ations, ans the public would greatly prefer to
see jail sentences imposed on vioators Of the
anti-trust anI trade conspiracy laws, no dispo-
sition will be shown to grumbe at the courts
action. The main point is that confessions of
guilt have been forced from defendants who up
TO now have been employing every legal device
TO hinder the governments prosecution. The
Department OF Justice has now developed an
attack which cannot be blocked or checkmated
It has found a way to reach violatOrs of the
anti-rebate law in spite of all technical efforts
to befog the facts. and it can now go ahead con-
fidently with the cases it has so laboriousIy
worked UP. The Beef Trust can be hailed to the
bar and its managers be made to pay the pen
atty of their schemes to evade the law and ex-
plot the public.

the news of a discovery in the hIondlke, when
starts a stream of miners from every direction

flashed through the whole criminal community
and the burglars are at work before the Police
Commissioner is awake to the situation. The
criminals know more about his force than he
does Unless he takes warning from their Keen
observation the city is in grave danger.
The three platoon system leaves the city in
adequately patrolled Commissioner McAdoo
himself seems to realize this, for he does NOT
defend that system. He shirks responsibility
for it by the excuse that the people declared for
it at the election Of Mayor Mcclellan. That
will he news to many who voted for Mr.. Nc
ClelIan. but if it is true that Tammany came
into power tied up TO the police in this matter,
and that the Commissioner has not free hand
to organize and discipline the force solely with
n view to securing efficiency. that fact calls for
the most emphatic condemnation of the admin
istration and the party behind it.
