It has been figured out by statistcally-incIined
naval officers that the sending OF the big fleet Of
warships to the Pacific will be of great financial

for the care of an armored cruiser This includes
the cost of repairs, coal, provisions and pay of
officers and men, All but the latter must be sup

FIRST ONE. A BAD EGG.

THE initial recommendation of the City Ex-
\ ecutive Board, or the mayors cabinet, is
thoroughly bad one. The board desires the
Water Commissioners to Withdraw their dsap-
proval Of the plan to permit the Delaware Water
Company to lay pipes in the city to supply pri-
Tate corporation with water. The city is thus to
surrender the monopoly that it has held in the
distribution Of water
The Water Commissioners when this question
first came up for consideration, were opposed to
granting permission to the company to use the
streets for that purpose. Since then, however,
there has been change in the complexion of the
Water Board Whether the same objection made
by the former board exists to-day is not known,
as Mr.. Knox, the new commissioner, so far as
we are aware. has not expressed himself
r There has been no public discussion Of this
matter by the mayors cabinet, as, unfortunately,
the cabinet did not decide to open its sessions to
the public until after this subject had been set
lied.
4. Ne doubt the city should do everything in its
power to accommodate the railroad company
which is one OF our important industries, but the
granting of the privilege to lay these pipes to sup
ply the company with water is question of far
on the trivial reasons that have been advanced
by the defenders OF the granting OF the permis-
sion
AS we have pointed out, the ctys monopoly in
the water supply should be maintained in its
strctest integrity. The granting of the permis-
sion to the Delaware Water Company is an as
sault upon that inegrity, it destroys the citys
hitherto monopoly in water rights.
If this permission is granted to the Delaware
Water Company there is no reason why similar
applications that may be made in the future,
should be denied by the city. There are many
big manufacturing Industries that purchase water
from the city. No one ever hears Of dispute
between them and the city officials. Suppose, in
the course OF their business, they should deem it
wise to supply themselves with water and should
make requests to the city for permission to
lay water pipes through street or two how
could the applications be reasonably refused, if
the precedent Of granting such rights is estab-
hshed in this instance of the Delaware Water
Company
What is sauce for the goose should be sauce
for the gander, and if permission is given one
company it could not in justice be refused to an
other
In return for the privilege Of laying these pipes
the city is to get for limited period, the use of
ground of the railroad company as a park In
view Of the fact that citizen Of far distant
State has donated the use of some property he
owns here for park purposes, the bargain" that
the city is to get provided the deal goes through,
under the circumstances, is not worth serious
consideration.

: Christmas Buyers.

Christmas is almost here and every
body is looking out for presents for
the little ones and the old ones too.
To these we would say buy early. The
merchants have laid in their stocks
Of Christmas goods and are ready
for the trade. It is perfectly evident
that those who come early will get
the selection from the full stock and
will thus have the advantage of later
comers.
The merchants will also be able to
give more time in helping the Gus
toners to decide on the appropriate
thing and will thus in many instan-
ces save the purchaser the trouble Of
deciding on an inappropriate gift. 1t
is less than two weeks now until
Christmas and TO wait until the
last few days will be a mistake which
will be recognized too late.
In selecting presents the tendency
is to have articles which will be Of
some real use to the recipient This
is a most sensible tendency. One
thing to be deplored about the habit
Of Christmas giving, is the balancing
off of gifts in the matter of val
ues, and the seeming obligation rest
ing on each one to give gift for gift.
But gifts with the taint of the com
mercial spirit are nothing more than
barter. and defeat the real purpose
Of the custom.
To those who are going to remem-
Der their relatives and friends this
Christmas, it will be in many ways
advantageous to buy early and thus

A Broad Hint From Japan.

Not only did the japanese ambas-
sador at Washington, Viscount Aoki.
not extend to Admiral Evans an In
vitation to take his battleship feet
to Japan for a visit Of ceremonious
friendship, but he conveyed an uD-
nistakeable intimation to the Amer
ican naval commander, at the dinner
he gave in Admiral Evans homer, OF
the japanese wish that the feet
should not linger on the Pacific coast.
To a representative of The New York
Herald, Ambassador Aoki denied en-
phatically that he had extended an
invitation to Admiral Evans to visit
Japan with his feet, and he gave the
exact text of his toast 70 the admir-
al, writing it out for the reporter in
order that there might be no error
in quoting it. His words were. i
propose to drink a toast to the health
OF Admiral Evans and in particular
| wish you pleasant journey and a
speedy return" ;"
The Charleston Post says 1T is
rather remarkable that the signif-
canoe of this utterance has passed
without comment. It is as plain as
anything can be that the japanese
ambassador intended to convey the
1int that it would be more agreeable
to his country to see the battleship
fleet on the Atlantic than on the Pa
cifc coast Of the United States. Dip
lomatic utterances are always made
with purpose, and it is un1nistak-
able that the japanese ambassador
intended to make known his govern
ment's objection to the transfer Of
the fleet to Pacific waters. Indeed
it is clear now that his entertainment
IF Admiral Evans was made to give
opportunity for such Lint in as del.
icate a manner as it could be gwen.
The intimation was beautifully and
gracefully made, but its force is none
the less for that.
1.-The popular and the official ninG
is so engrossed with the financial dis
turbance that the utterance Of, the
Japanese ambassador has not made
the impression it would haze made
three months ago, but the signif
canoe has hardly been lost on the
keen observers of the diplomatic
world, and it has doubtless been full
" considered at the State Depart
nent. The ostentatious expression
If a wish for Admiral Evans
speedy" return from his naval ez-
cursion is the direct expression Of
Japan's protest against the move
nent. The propriety Of such an ex-
might well be questioned
out it will doubtless be allowed. to
ass without official notice by the
government.
