The practical retirement of Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford by the British
admiralty takes from the naval serv-
ice one of the most intrepid fighters
in Great Britain. Lord Beresford has
been in the lime-light ever since his cour-
ageous act in taking the little gunboat
Condor under the guns of the shore bat
teries at the bombardment of Alexan-
dria, Egypt, in July, 1882.

The organization at Defiance, Ohio, of
the Chicago-T oledo-C Cincinnati Deep Wa
terway association is further evidence
of the fact that deep waterway senti-
ment is running amuck over dry land.
The association wants 100000 for a
survey of routes for proposed canals
from Lake Michigan to Lake Erie, by
way of the Maumee river, and from the
Maumee river to Cincinnati. Deep ca
mails could doubtless be dug on these
routes, but there is a grave doubt as to
their utility. The much mooted short
cut to Lake Erie across the southern
portion of the state of Michigan is hard
ly worthy of consideration, and as for
the Cincinnati ditch, project of that
kind is now being promoted by Cleve-
land interests.

The Independent, a newspaper of
Sheffield, England, announces that a
manufacturing firm of that city is now
placing ON the market a steel which has
from three to seven times the cutting
power of existing high grade steels, and
which can be hardened in water, oil or
blast. This is an important discovery. The
mechanical trades are the foundation Of
ali handiwork, because they produce the
tools which other workmen must have in
order to be producers. Therefore a steel
that has from three to seven times the
cutting power of the best steel that has
heretofore been used can be made into
tools that will increase the efficiency of
all workers who use tools.

] 1t has transpired in the suit of the
government against the American Sugar
| Refining Company that the weighers of
sugar licensed by the city of New York
receive as compensation for their simple
work at the scales all the way from
i $4,000 to $4,000 year. They are paid
one cent for every hundredweight they
check off, and the average weigher can
handle 125 drafts an hour, avera ging
| 800 pounds each. OF course these
weighers are not busy all the time, but
the assistant United States weigher tes-
titled that their compensation often
amounts to $50 a day. There seems to
be room for the institution of modern
methods in economical handling that
would give the weighers salaries instead
OF fees. 1t is shameful to load a staple
like sugar with unnecessary cost
1t will be interesting to note the
Senates response to the adoption of fill
clustering tactics by members who
are not satisfied with the way
its majority does business. Will re-
caicitrants be given whatever they ask
for, in order to keep them still, or will
the Senate proceed to write into its rules
a few pages taken the book of the
House? The question assumes prac-
teal aspect at the very moment while
an organized movement seeks the re-
taxation of the rules of the House.
The effect of the outbreak in the SEN
ate may be highly conservative, tending
to crystalize the convictions of those
who regard this as a majority govern
ment and hold that the majority is
derelict when it neglects 20 take what
ever steps may be essential to prevent
a minority from obstructing the trans

Consul Norton reports from Chemitz
the invention of life-belt of rubber
which is inflated automatically i'll emer-
gencies, with carbon dioxide. Although
the idea is not entirely new, the gas
belt is a notable contrivance; but
its utility will be comparatively
short-lived. as rubber decays ra pidly
when exposed to the air and the acid
carried by smoke and SCOT. A modern
passenger steamer might be in active
service for decades without meeting with
accidents that would warrant the uiliza-
ton of life-preservers, and rubber belts
would have to be renewed at great ex-
pense. Moreover, a decaying belt might
be in bad condition just when its serv-
ices are urgently required.

Delta county, if the crops continue

Delta county, if the crops continue
anything like this year-and they should
increase-needs more packing houses.
Canning factories and alfalfa mills are
also needed, as well as beet sugar
factory. Don't let these things escape
or be delayed longer than necessary.
They will pay for themselves in profits
in very short time. Delta is at pres
ent field ripe with opportunities for
those who have capital to invest.
The apple picking and packing is
faiely well through, though it will take
until the middle of this month to clean
up shipments. At the loading stations
20 to 80 teams can be viewed almost any
time in sight. The beet harvest has
been dragging somewhat on account of
the time given to the taking care of
the immense apple crop, and it will
take practically all of this month to
complete all the beet gathering and
shipping.

Ihere are two days in the week

saacredly free from fear and apprehen.
sion.
one OF these days Is yesterday.
yesterday. with all its cares and frets,
with all its pains and sorrows has
passed forever beyond the spower of
my control, beyond the reach of NV
recall. 1 can not undo an act that |
wrought; l cannot recall word that
said; can not calm a storm tE.l
ragged on yesterday. All that it holds
at my life. of regret, or sorrow. or
wrong, Is In the hands of the mighty
love that can bring oil out of the rock
and sweet waters out of the bitterest
desert-the love that can make the
wrong things right, and turn mourning
into laughter. Save for the beautiful
memories, sweet and tender, that lin.
ger like perfume of dried roses In the
heart OF the day that is gone, I have
notnlng to do with yesterday. 1t was
mine; now it belongs. to God.
And the other day ! do not worry
over is tomorrow. Tomorrow, with
all Its possible cares, its burdens. its
sorrows, Its perils, its poor perform,
ings and its bitter mistakes, is as far
beyond my reach of mastership as is

detection Is shown. For the time that
Walters has been serving as treasurer
he will probably lose the salary OF
the Office"
This is sufficiently self-contradic-
tory to stamp the statement as a
product of ou- senile morning con-
Temporary.
What The Sun has said IL has said,
and sticks to, and It said everything
as plainly and emphatically as posi-
BILE. J. ]. Dorian has been city treas
urer for five years, is treasurer now
and will be treasurer until George
Walters brings his suit properly in
the circuit court, establishes his eligi-
bility and qualities. and Maurice Nc
Intyre win be compelled TO issue
licenses to everyone, who paid his
money to Treasurer Dorian.
The Sun expressed no opinion as to
the merits OF the controversy in court.
That Is not newspapers business.
The less newspapers try to influence
courts in their decisions the better of
the country will be.
On every point for which The Sun
contended the court of appeals sus-
tanned our position. We insisted that
since Mr.. Dorian was city treasurer
de facto, he should be allowed to re-
main in uridisturbed possession OF the
Office until such a time as the court
lof appeals might declare him ineligi-
bic. In order that there might be no
confusion of the city's funds.
The Sun protested against the as
sumption on the part OF City Clerk
Maurice Mcintyre of authority to
pass on the bonds of city officials.
He produced a gratuitous opinion of
the city solicitor as his authority.
The court of appeals says the gen.
eral council should pass on the bond
of the city treasurer, AMI that is
ssential to his qualification.
The Sun protested against Mr.. Nc
Intyre taking it upon himself to
recognize whomsoever he pleased as
city treasurer. He produced an opin-
ion from the city solicitor as his in
to recognize Mr.. Walters
as city treasurer. The court of APP
peals holds that Mr.. Walters must
amend his pleading in the circuit
court to show that he is eligible to
the Office before he Is entitled even
to decree. awarding him the Office.
and that before he assumes the duties
his bond must be approved by the
general council. II was against the
usurpation of authority by the city
clerk and the city solicitor we pro-
tested. and the rebuke administered
them by the court of appeals is our
justification.
