obeyed the warning. A gambling establish
ment of large means and distingu shed pat
ronage at the best-known health resort in
the state has closed IT'S doors. and its pro-
prietor has betaken himself to new field
of labor. Indiana under Governor Haniy
has been made uncomfortable for men of
his kidney.
Because OF these things there is stir in
the state. On the one hand the governor is
applauded. Men see a conscientious official
living UP to his oath of office. and are glad
to feel that good will come of it. On the
other hand friends of those who have been
caught in the tolls, and others, can see only,
a play to the galleries by one who wants to
go higher, and Is advertising himself at the
expense of some people who helped him to
reach his present Office. They are charg
ing him with ingratitude and predicting
failure for him in his calculations for the
future.
The public generally take these things on
their face value In this case appears

to be above the influence of threats or ridi-
cule-as public servant should be-and IL

The Russian Army.

The following suggestive paragraph ap-
pears in the course of news dispatches from
st. Petersburg:
Meanwhile the emperor continues to
show all possible attentions to the army.
He has arranged that one regiment shall
be received weekly at Tsarskoe-Selo from
the forces now stationed near the capital
The program is to give the men hearty
dinner while the officers lunch in the palace
with the emperor. He converses with each
one and then spends some time in the men s
dining hall"
This innovation Of extending social atten-
tons to the soldiers of the empire, taken
in connection with the recent increase of
the pay of the men in the ranks, must be
taken to mean no less than that the czar
realizes that by force alone can he main
tain himself as ruler. A few days ago
the loyalty OF the troops was seriously
questioned; but the fighting at Moscow
has apparently proved that the army is not
yet weaned from the habit OF obedience to
orders. There have been, however, numer-
Gus mutinies, large and small, and it re-
quires no great keenness to discern signs
of a desire on the part of many of the SOL
diers to aid the revolutionists. A recent
dispatch told Of the zeal OF certain regi-
ment of guards, the members of which,
stung by the suspicion of disloyalty, asked
10 De alIOWSd 70 prove their ndeuty to the
crown by assignment to the front rank of
the force sent against the barricaded
rebels in Moscow. The dispatch naively
added that these men were fighting valiant
ly carrying all before them. 1t would be
interesting to know just whether they did
actually ask TO be sent to the post of
greatest danger were sent there willy
nlly. The game is an old one, to put sus-
peCted troops in the front ranks, covered
securely by trusted men, who are instruct
ed to shoot their comrades a the first sign
Of wavering.
a Russian autOcracy upheld solely by the
bayonets OF these loyal" troops will be on
a very insecure foundation. However this
uprising of the people may resultant the
present indications point to its collapse
after more killing-the wounds it will leave
are certain TO heal very slowly, If at all.
The people in revolt are learning their les
sons at a frightful cost, but the cost to the
government will probably eventually be
heavier yet. The fact that the little
father has actually been deied by an
armed force Of his subjects has already
greatly weakened his prestige and all the
coquetting he may do with his army will
not cure the ills OF which this revolt is but
a symptom.

McClellan's Slate.

Mayor McClellan's slate disappoints
Tammany. The organization, we are told.
feels sighted. Plums have either gone to
outsiders. or to braves of minor conse-
quence. Leaders of high degree have been
turned down or ignored, and there Is woe
in Fourteenth street.
One explanation of the mayors course
is this:
Ever since election it has been known
that the mayor was very much dissatisfied
with the manner IN which his campaign
conducted and that he had made up
his mind TO select the chief officials with
out dictation from 18th street. At the
same time. it was thought that he would
not go so far in sighting the district lead
ers the present slate shows"
Are we to believe that if Mr.. Murphy had
not Numbered. but had rolled up the ex-
pected majority last month. his influence
in the making of this slate would have
been as great in the making of the slate
of two years ago? Penalizing a boss blum
ders is all very well in the way of discip-
line, but appointments TO office should rest
upon something higher. The fact Is that
Mr. Murphy deserved to be counted out as
an adviser this time because of the bad
advice he gave before. The men who
brought the most reproach on the mayor
during his first administration were friends
of Mr. Murphy. appointed through his in
iuence.
The slate as whole Is well regarded
outside of Tammany. AS the finishing
touches were put on during the mayors
visit to Princeton. 1t Is possible that Mr..
Cleveland was consulted. and shares in the
merit of the work. His knowledge of Tam
many and of New York politics in general

York is concerned, and man of whom
he is as fond as Mr.. Mcclellan could rely
upon his best Judgment.
As he starts we'll. and with a show of
New York better administration this time
than last. He has the ability for the work,
and the confidence of men who should he
valuable in the way of outside support.
Avowed partisan that he is, he has knowl-
edge of what the situation calls for from
the business standpoint. and should rise
without great difficulty to his opportunity.
If he does he will be rewarded by the APP
prevail of his own conscience and the ap-
plause of those whose applause Is worth
having.
AS for Tammany. it will do no harm to
worthy cause to let the organization stew
awhile in its own juice. The sulks of to-
day may give place to smiles tomorrow.
But. at any rate, the mayors first duty is
TO the town.

Tom Reed and the Senate.

Representative Champ Clark of Missouri
IS popular platform speaker, and fills a
number of engagements of that kind during
a year He tells good story in quaint
way. has a large acquaintance among pub
lie men. has helped make some important
history. and draws entertainingly on his
experience for topics in the role OF lee
turer
Mr.. Clark addressed the Phoenix Club of
Baltimore Tuesday night. and, as usual,
talked in happy vein. He gave not only
his own impressions of things, but the i'm
pressions of other men of note which had
been communicated to him by them. With
other things he said: "Reed''-he was re-
ferring to the late Speaker of the House
once said to me that the United States
Senate was public nuisance, and ought to
be abolished"
This statement without explanation gives
very erroneous impression-something
Mr. Clark had no thought of doing Mr..
Reed was wit and a satirist, and exercised
his gifts-always dangerous to their pos
sessor-at the expense of both people and
Things The Senate was often his target
he was probably in an unusually bilious
mood the day he fired this shaft, and en-
1oyed doing so all the more for the fact
that he was assured of appreciation from
his auditor, who sometimes says sharp
things himself
But of course Mr. Reed was not and was
not TO be, taken literally in his humor No
man knew better the great value of the
Senate, or held certain members of that
body In higher respect, than he. He itched
TO see Its procedure reorganized and quick
ened. He dwelt on this point especially
after he had shown as Speaker of the
House what could be done for the public
welfare in that line. But that he regarded
the Senate as a nuisance and worthy of
abolition is out Of the question, and puts
the joke on the joker-now, to the general
regret, no longer with US.
This would hardly be worth a word ex-
cept that just now the Senate Is again
under fire, and a great many hasty and ILL
advised things are being said about it.
1t is not a perfect body by long shot. If
it were it would be but poorly suited to our
institutions. But, as our agencies go, it
is not only a very necessary body in our
form of government, but performs its part
upon the whole quite as well any other.
The man who should talk seriously about
abolishing the Senate would discredit his
own intelligence.

Sweet Violets.

James Hazen Hyde. decorated with his
favorite flower, has sailed away for gay
Paree. He goes, but he returns! The story
that he had sold out. lock, stock, and bar
rel. and would never more put foot on
American soil, proved to be campaign he.
He is merely seeking rest and, later, will
see US again. He will continue to keep
Paris to go to, as many other Americans
DO He is tired, he confesses, of the in
surance racket, has no predictions to make
about the results of the investigation, and
is anxious to be quit of the whole subject.
1t undoubtedly has been unpleasant for
him. Basking as he was. and had been
for so long a time. in the sunshine of a
small and select lah-de-dah circle. he was
rudely dragged out into the open, with all
his absurdities on his head. and has since
been put through a thousand embarrassing
PAGES. Still. he survives, and even may
grow. Who knows?

New Year Again.
From Harper's Weekly.

from Harpers weekly.
New Year is upon US again. Let us take
up the line of march and make the best
progress we can through another year HUI
manity does not shape an edifying course.
Day after day, year after year, it plumbers
along. as any days history speIt out in
the newspapers will attest. To blunder
along seems to be about the best the best
Of us can do, either as individuals or as a
nation. 1t Is not ideal, but 1t will answer.
If so be we can keep pointed in the right
direction and proceed in sagacious spirit
sharing the road with the rest Of the folks
and not less compassionate of their devi-
ations than of our own. The greatest goals
that men have reached they have reached
by being stronger than their mistakes So
1t was with Lincoln; SO with Washington.
The great difference between wayfarers, be-
sides the disparity in locomotive power, Is
that some manage to hold to the right di-
rection and to maintain in spite OF plumbers
the essential spirit. That sort invariably
get somewhere where 1t is worth while to
arrive. For the others, speed is nothing If
the direction is not right.

Hanly of Indiana.

Governor Hanly of Indiana Is taking his
office seriously. and making a name for
himself. The second state official Is now
under investigation as the result of the
governors activity. Evidently he intends
that his influence in Office shall count as
far as legitimately 1t may in the peoples
behalf. He might have sat In his chair at
Indianapolis. surveyed things at large good
Eaturedly. addressed a message to the leg
tslature on meeting day. and let things
drift. He might have asked himself why
get busy outside OF my own shop?" And he
might have let echo answer.
Instead OF this he put high value on his
commission, and set to work to keep faith
and earn his salt. He began looking into
things both near and far, and pretty soon
discovered that a new stiff broom was

utsnt he has since been welding. Loose

Why We Need a Navy.

A remarkable misconception of the uses
OF national navy Is displayed In the fol-
lowing paragraph recently printed in the
Birmingham ACCELERATE:
"All the talk about big navy is hot air
NO nation Will attack this isolated country"
If the only function our navy had to per-
form related to the actual defense of our
coasts IN time of war there would be oc-
casion for but very small floating force
of fighters. But the fact remains that we
are not strictly stay-at-home people We
are spread over all the world in our COM
mercial activities. We have interests In all
quarters and under the shadow of all flags
We are engaged in selling goods to the
people of every race, and our merchant
men, few as they are in comparison with
our needs and wishes, are sailing far dis
tant waters.
In time OF war with another power of
first rank the American navy would be
chiefly employed In protecting these distant
interests. in guarding commerce and In
destroying the commerce of the enemy an
entirely legitimate and necessary method
of attack and defense We might. It 4.
true, withdraw into our shell and let the
enemy pound away at our, coasts or posi-
bly, pour troops over the land borders to
the south and the north. But such would
not be the role of a great power or peo-
pie capable of maintaining a stout de-
Tense.
As long as other nations maintain large
navies the United States must prepare itself
to cope on fairly equal terms with any pos
sible foe. And as long as this Il done, and
the United States Il thus safeguarded
against coast attacks or repxisals upon
American commerce. tbs chances OF war
