HOW TO STOP CONTESTS.
Federal OHicehOIders should BE Or

From the New YORK Evening P1st
With the prospect that rows ike that
in Florida will mark the conventions in
all the Southern states, and that there
will be contesting delegations from many
Of them, the struggle Will be for the con
troll of the national committee. with the
chances good for political manipulation
and angry charges and COUnterChaTges Of
uufaiTness and corruption which are Ger
tain to leave bad feeling behind them. Yet
it would be the easiest thing in the world
% avert all this by ordering the Federal
otiiceholder5 70 keep their hands off the
party machinery. We hope that this will
be done, irrespective of its effect upon
the fortunes Of any candidate. The med
ding of government officials with politics
is both indecent and inSuDOTdinate, and
ought Immediately TO be forbidden. In
that way. a civil service reform admins
tration could save itself from the re-
pr0ach of having further resolutions
passed. such as the Tribune prints as
adopted IN Florida, protesting against at

The Acting Secretary of War has ap-
pealed TO Congress for a change in the law
which now requires his department 10 re-
duce all contracts TO writing and exacts
the preparation Of five copies of every
contract one of which is sent to the
returns Office of the Department of the
Interior The making of a contract in
wolves a large amount of clerical work
and in many cases il is not justified by
the transaction. This is not only cum
bersome method. SO far as the War De
paTtment administration is concerned,
but II imposes a veTitable hardship upon
bidders who view such useless labor as
trouble they ought not 60 be compelled
to take, 1t is considered that contracts
Of a certain class may very we'll be in
less archaic form. and that fewer copies
shall be made
No one has ever been able 10 under

turns office of the Department of the In
terior exists. II is a relic Of a bygOne
age. ana has survived simply because it is
useless enough 10 escape sufficient at
tention 10 lead to its abolition. no one
ever goes TO the returns Office 70 consult
the huge volume OF contract copies which
are filed there. Bidders and contractors
and others who want to lock at such
records go 20 the bureau of the eXecu-
tive department where the contract was
awarded and get the information with
out delay. Then. too contracting officers
are required TO make afidavits TO the
effect that they are not pecuniarily in-
terested in the contract, and so on. The
notary fees attaching 20 this absurd func-
tion amount to more than $1,000 a year
in the War Department alone. It is con-
sidered that certificate to the same
effect would answer every purpose and
render the officer Just as liable for eXac-
ton as If the certificate were in the form
Of an affidavit.
There are many reforms necessary in
the whole contract business Of the gov
ernment. and it would be we'll to have
established for the benefit of the country
and the business firms who have rela-
tions with it a system which has some
relation to commercial expedition. This
can be done without imperiIing any of
the security which is necessary on the
part Of government representatives. The
suggestions Of the Acting Secretary OF
War furnish an opportunity for an initial
step in the direction Of business sim.

Defects of an Army Pay Table

The Secretary Of War published in his
annual report, and so gave official sane
ton to. a pay table which it was pro
posed TO adopt for the benefit Of the
enlisted men Of the army Of all ratings
from private to the best paid nonc0mmis-
stoned staff officer. with additional pro-
vision for new warrant OF petty officers
corresponding with such grades in the
naval establishment. No one appears to
have studied the table very carefully, eX-
cepting those, of course, who were con-
cerned in its preparation. and it came
very near being adopted by the House
Military Committee, from all accounts, as
a rate Of pay which should be adopted
by Congress in extending relief TO the
much less in the average than enlisted
men of the navy. 1t has been pointed
out that the average pay OF the army
eslisted force is less than SlS while the
average pay of the naval force is more
than S33 per month. II has long been
appreciated by those who have given
any thought to the situation that some
thing should be done by Congress to
adjust the varied and inconsistent and
Oftentimes unjust differences which exist
between the military and naval services
in the matter of pay and allowances. The
President under the law has the right 70
prescribe the pay of the naval enlisted
force, and despite a recommendation 10
that effect in behalf Of the army, Con-
gress is not willing that he should exer-
else the same privilege for the army
This makes it impossible 10 adjust army
enlisted pay without an act of Congress
and the delays of enactment.
The difficulties which beset those who
undertake TO furnish relief for the en-
listed force are indicated in this proposed
pay table sent TO Congress by the Secre-
tary Of War In that table there were
eleven ratings where the proposed pay
would be a decrease in the pay now
received. In one case the monthly sacri-
flee would amount 10 80 on the first
enlistment and s. a month on the second
enlistment This appears ineXplicable un-
til it is shown that this simply adjusts
the pay of one class Of noncommissioned
officers TO correspond with the pay re-
ceived by another class of equal impor-
tance and value. When the attempt at
adjustment is made in this way, all sorts
of trouble is encountered. For instance,
certain men in the Artillery Corps under

or all the explanations which do not
explain, OF which do not satisfy. those
which are advanced to account for the
maintenance Of the high price of do
nestle sizes of anthracite coal are the
most extraordinary examples. They are
fragrant illustrations Of the misuse which
can be made Of figures by adroit ac-
countants. Some of them appear con-
vincing, but when they are advanced
simultaneously with the announcement
that the anthracite coal combination has
temporarily shut down thirty-eight col
lieries because Of the glut Of coal in the
market, the unhappy consumer has full
justification not only for incredulity but
for evaporation.

his consolation by the president Of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company and by other operators. that

From the Lincoln Nebr- State journal.
Mr.. Bryan has become well-to-do, and
yet to charge him with mercenary
motives involves a complete misunder-
standing of his life and character. II
anything can be proved by the testimony
OF a mans neighboTs, let Il be set down
that Mr.. Bryan should be credited with
purity Of life as well as personal charm;
that he is sincerely devoted to the inter-
ests Of his country. and that few men are
more willing to give of their earnings to
public causes in which he feels an inter
est The failure OF a community that
cheerfully and virtually unanimously
offers testimony to all OF these things to
support Mr.. Bryan for the Presidency is
another matter. It arises from a lack of
faith in the Democratic party and its
principles and a distrust OF Mr.. Bryan's S
ability TO accomplish anything with such
a following. rather than q lack of belief
in the sincerity of Mr.. Bryan himself.

4 Wise Prince

That royal pretender to the throne Of
Portugal. prince of the reigning house
whose title TO the crown is by no means
without merit as those things so, does
well 70 notify his following that he will
seek to take no advantage of the present
critical state of affairs In the kingdom
with the view 10 furtheriag his own
political interests I'm any manner.
The present is no time for that sort OF
thing and the man who claims to be
the real scion OF the house of Braganza
entitled 20 wear the royal ermine, must
be credited with great good sense, as well
as decency. in retiring quietly 10 his
Austrian regiment there to remain in
obscurity until hts unhappy land may
readiust itself TO normal conditions. In
deed. it is not to be doubted that his act
in this matter will greatly strengthen him
personally with those at home who may
be inclined TO sympathize with him.
Whatever may be the general opinion
as to Carlos. his summary taking away
together with the crown prince. who
could have been no party to any proba-
able plot Involving Portugars future, the
world stands aghast at the spectacle.
Even the most caustic critic Of the King
must, If he be a human being and not a
fend, deplore the mad act that struck
him down The worlds heart goes out
to the boy King now on the throne. He
is but lad, and he faces a terrible con-
dition Of affairs The outside nations will
stand, In feeling, at least, in hope that
all may go we'll with him.
The present King of Servia was but
too palpably a party TO the regicide at
Belgrade; the claimant 10 the Portuguese
throne not only was evidently not con-
nected in any way with the deed that

Quick Financial Recovery.

From the Wan Street Journal
Now that boarded money is returning
to the banks, the financial situation is
clearing up in great degree. 1t is certainly
amazing how rapidly we are recovering
from the effect of panic so far as the
movement of money Is concerned. In the
panic Of 1898 1t took five months for
the clearinghouse banks to retire their
loan certificates. Although in the panic
of 1857 the amount Of loan certificates
issued was two and one-half times as
large as in the crisis of 1893, yet it is
taking practically only three months TO
retire the certificates.

Democratic Hunger Unabatedi Its
Thirst a Dead Issue.
From the New York Mail
we are confronted by the hoTdes Of
Democracy" said George William Curtis
at the Republican national convention Of
1881. very hungry for Office-very hungry,
and certainly very thirsty also" The
hunger remains to this day. no doubt; but
so many Democratic localities have since
then repudiated their thirst that Mr.. Cur
us' remark. II repeated to-day might
seem to smack OF that parusanship which
he tried TO avoid in his later years.
So much 50, indeed, that no wave Of
laughter and applause has swept across
the country with the news that the head
quarters Of Tammany and its allied So
cieties at the Denver convention. are to
be located a mile from the nearest bar
room-in the midst Of the dryest section
of the Colorado capital. Why not?
Nor do we perceive any special signifi-
canoe in the coincidentaI announcement
that the New York delegation TO Denver
IS to be much smaller than usual Far
be it from us TO connect the two events.

Mr., Curtis mentioned. the hunger, no
doubt, has grown stronger; but TO de-
clare that the thirst is still unconquered
or unsatisfed would not be fair politics.

the proposed table get as much as 50
per cent increase, while others of corre-
spending grades In the other branches
set but per cent increase.
The service pay tables, whether Of the
enlisted personnel or commissioned force,
are veritable hodge-podge. They have
been created by haphazard legislation,
with provisions which have been con-
founded by interpretations of law, rulings,
and decisions from various sources. Con-
gress could do much to simplify the
situation, but the chances are that the
relief in that respect viii be limited.
The increase Of service pay is project
which is pretty well muddled by pending
legislation which is conflicting and which
has now come to be involved in entirely
Independent questions that may In the
end defeat the laudable purpose of in
creasing the pay of officers and enlisted
men of the military and naval services.

what Battle Ships Cost.

for the war ships of the future. it is not

to be no limit in the matter of cost A
few years ago $3.OO0.O00 was considered an
extravagant amount of money to put into
one battle ship. Since then armored
cruisers of the Colorado and West Vir-
ginia type have been developed. and the
