FEDERAL CIVIL PENSIONS.

The Keep Commissions plan for creating a
civil pension list has been amended according
20 our Washington dispatches, in certain impor-
tant particulars. In 50 far as it undertakes to
insure each government emplOye on his retire
ment from the service annuity or a cash re-
turn OF savings with interest and In so far as II
compels retirement at seventy years it is now
open 10 little material objection. Theoretically,
ii might be argued, it is a departure from the
American practice of individualism in that it
diverts 10 the federal government the RESPONSE
bility for providing against the future, which
now rests on the employe himself, to be met
by him for his own advantage or neglected by
him at his own peril. 1t is a piece Of kindly
paternalism, for it proposes to establish fed
eral savings bank and assurance association,
run without profit, for the benefit Of workers
not frugal or forehanded enough TO set aside
certain portion Of their annual earnings. Some
civil appointees may consider this compulsory
Insurance an infringement on their personal
rights, for they may think that they are entitled
10 spend their entire incomes for current needs
or 10 invest their entire savings in outside en-
terprises But, at least under the amended
scheme each employe is dealt with as an indi-
viduaL There is no pooling; each contributor
gets back with interest what he put in and the
government guarantees him a fixed and ade-
quate return, with no risks Of depreciation or
insolvency.
In so far, however, as the government pledges
itself TO pay the emplOye retiring at seventy
definite annuity, regardless Of the assessments
he may have contributed from his salary, it in
wolves an appropriation from the Treasury of
perhaps S50,O00,0O0 10 accomplish q rather sim
pie administrative refornl-the ending Of the
abuses Of superannuaton in the service This
seems TO be high price to pay to enforce re-
ttrsments az seventy. Congress would be justified
IN giving notice that after a certain date-
say July ], lsIO or 19l2-such retirement reg
uEtion would be enforced. The percentage OF
employees actually over seventy is small and as
few men or women enter the Civil Service at
e1 over sixty the hardship inflicted would not

THE DREADNOuGHTs SUCCESSOR.

Though the BellerophOn launched at Ports
mouth on Saturday, will in essentials closely
resemble the Dreadnought she will differ from
her prototype In several particulars. The newer
batteship is expected to have a displacement
about seven hundred tons greater than that
Of the first one 10 be equipped with Il main
battery Of n single calibre, and the increase
represents improvements which scrutiny Of
the Dreadnought has suggested The Belle
rOphon will mount heavier guns for defence
against torpedo boats than those which her
predecessor carries. 1t is thought probable,
too, that tifing alterations in the width OF
the armOr belt and the height OF one OF the
tuTTets may enhance her safety and efficiency
The DreadnOught embodied number Of revolu-
tiOnary ideas in battleship design, and she
was looked upon as a good deal Of an ex-
pertinent Hence, an attempt to secure bet
ter results in the Bellerophon is in no sense
confession of weakness.
England is apparently so well satisfied with
the steam turbines with which the Dread
nought equipped that in the absence of a
definite statement to the contrary it may be
assumed that the Bellerophon will be provided
with similar machinery. An admirable chance
would have been afforded for a comparison had
the British Admiralty decided to employ recip-
rocahng engines on the immediate successor Of
the DreadnOught An instructive test was
made several years ago under British auspices
when turbines were installed on the AMETHYST
and the other type of engine on the Topaze
Those cruisers, however had a displacement
OF only 1900 tons EACH or only one-sixth as
great as that Of the Dreadnought In other
countries, it may be remarked, less confidence
is at present felt in the superiority Of the t1lr-
bine than is manifested by Mr.. Parsons COM
patriots The United States, indeed, has de-
termined 10 try turbines on one Of its two
20,OO0tOn battleships but these are to be of
American origin, and on the other vessel re-
ciprocating engines will be used. This coun-
try, therefore, may be in position when these
two ships are completed, TO demonstrate to the
world for the first time which type of engine
is best suited to service on vessels Of the great
est size
In the progress made with the construction
Of the BellerOphon, the marvellous history OF
the Dreadnought has not been paraeled. but q
speed has been manifested which other naval
powers may regard with envy Between the
laying Of the new battleshps keel and launch

DEMORALLZED KENTUCKY.

The sun which used to shine so bright on the
old Kentucky home seems to have suffered an
observation. The Hon. Joseph S. c. Black
burn no longer represents the state in the
United States Senate. The founts of the Oratory
which made Kentucky famous are dried up, and
the orator has become q prOsaic canal digger.
There is wailing and gnashing of teeth in
Louisville, where numerous patriots controlling
the local Democratic organization have been
pried loose from the city and county Offices
by the State Court of Appeals and the Gov
ernor. These patriots thought that they had
perennial lease ON the municipal adminiStra-
tion, and with a benevolent paternalsm had
proceeded to count the ballots Of the people
not as they were cast but as they should have
been cast-On sound Jeffersonian principles.
Now they are under the heel Of a court which
failed to recognize this high minded altruism
as a desirable substitute for old fashioned self
government, and they are looking in vain for
healing njunctions and writs of habeas corpus.
Judge Hargis has just been acquitted Of the
last of the multiple murder charges against
him, and Caleb Powers is being tried again sim
ply to give the Kentucky lower court Judges
a little needed exercise in lodging reversals.

his conclusion:
That l1ukluxsm and not the law is supreme
in Christian County and Trigg County. as well

one Of several conditions resulting from the fact
that Kentucky IS now. the worst governed state
in the Union.
