THE ATLANTIC CITY PROBLEM.

Governor Forts vigorous words concerning the
enforcement of law at Atlantic City give some
hope of an abatement of the prevailing condi-
tions, though the immediate remedy for the sit
uation is not easy to prescribe. The Governor
himself stands fully committed to do all that
he can TO enforce the law and there is no
question that he is earnestly striving to do so,
In his inaugural address he pledged himself TO
that course. and he asked the Legislature to
give him the power to compel enforcement or
the law by removing public officials who were
found to be corrupt or inefficient hut the
Legislature failed to give him such authority.
In New York the Governor may remove a
mayor. sheriff a district attorney on
charges and after a hearing In New Jer-
sey he cannot. The prosecutors and others
are constitutional officers whom the Gov
ernor cannot remove and whom, indeed, the
Legislature cannot empower him to remove
The Legislature could, as he asked 1t TO
do. empower him to remove any officials who
are merely statutory and such power would
be of great Importance in correcting sucn
abuses as those in Atlantic City. But the Leg
islature last winter declined TO give him that
power, and, indeed, it has never in the history
of the state given it to a governor or TO any one
else save in a very few special cases. Criticism
of the Governor for failing at once to abate the
evils is therefore unwarranted and unjust
But the Governor has done good work In
exposing these evil conditions through the COM
mission which he personally created in the face
of strenuous and bitter opposition. And the
matter will not rest there. The Governor is
not vet at the end of his resources as he plainly
intimated in his remarks last week, and our
belief is that the public sentiment in favor OF
decency and obedience to the law which thls IN
vestigation has so strongly aroused will Loyalty
support him in the compelling of reforms

THE NATIONS AIRSHIPs.

One of the three airships built for the United
States War Department has shown that 1t
meets the requirements of its designers con-
tract with the government. With two men and
one hundred and fifty pounds of ballast Cap
tain Thomas s. Baldwin's dirigble balloon can
travel at twenty miles an hour for at least
five miles. a slightly lower speed can be main
tained for two hours or more. obedience to the
helm has been demonstrated and the airship
has remained right side up during all official
and unofficial trials to which it has been sub
jected. Upon it's satisfactory performance both
Captain Baldwin and the country are TO be
congratulated.
It is to be hoped that many years will elapse
before the new adjunct of military service will
be employed for the object for which it was
provided In the mean time, however. the
chief signal officer intends to use it for educa-
tional purposes. In fact, it would be of no
value unless soldiers were trained TO handle it,
and the sooner this part of General Aliens pro-
gramme is undertaken the greater will be the
efficiency of his aeronautic staff in time of need.
Eventually it may be deemed expedient to build
larger and swifter dirgible balloons than that
which is about to become the property of the
government but practice probably be car
ried on more advantageously with arship Of
moderate size than with larger one.
Quite different in form and character are the
other aerial vehicles yet to be tested at Fort
Myer. and their behavior will be watched by
the public with eagerness. An earlier date was
originally assigned for the trial of Mr.. Her
rings aeroplane than for that Of the Wrghts,
but the New York inventor having asked for
short extension of the time allowed him for
preparation, bis rivals Will be the next to show
what they have. Americans have become more
familiar with the name and work of the Dayton
aeronauts than with Mr.. Herrings. but have
had no chance to make a comparison of their
merits The opportunity will apparently be af
forded within the next SIX or eight weeks 1t
would be extremely gratifying if both the
Wrights and Mr. Herring should find it possible
TO do all that the War Department demands
develop a speed of forty miles an hour, provide
storage for the fuel needed for a flight of 125
miles and reascend easily whenever they have
come to the ground.

THE DAVIS TORPEDO Gun

In the unceasing rivalry between warships
and projectiles q fresh triumph for the projec
tile is said TO have been achieved within the last
few days. So imperfectly have the tests made
in Boston Harbor With the torpedo gun of Com
mander Davis, L. S. n, been described in the
press dispatches that opinions concerning it's
efficiency must be largely guesswork STILL the
experiments are certain to receive attention
from both branches of the military service IF
the country. The presence of General Murray
chief of artillery in the army. indicates that
he is alert TO the possible utility of the new
device for coast defence purposes
A Whitehead torpedo carries in IFS nose q
charge of guncotton which explodes when it
hits the outside of ship. Commander Davis

more specific explanation of the decline than the

the recent excessive heat far cut down the
number of traders in brokerage offices as to
throw the entire burden of supporting the mar

strong interests became impressed by the fact
that there was little market for stocks at the
present time, and when the few outside specu-
lators endeavored TO take profits there was a
natural downward tendency. The extensive ad-
vertising campaign also appeared i'll timed. al
