Naval Line and Staff.
(MashlnSton Star.

The line and staff trouble began
with the. application OF steam to naval
navigation. When engines were put
into warships it became neceN AIRY to
place them IN charge of skilled Off.
GERS. :, 1t was perhaps natural that the
navigators and disciplinarians of the
ship, the fighting force. should look
disparagingly upon the men who work
cd below. and were charged with.what
they regarded as the less hazardous
task of making the vessel 80. +, AT the
same time the vital importance of the
man in the = engine-room was recog.
nlzed, Without his. skill in the han
ding of the great machine It would
be helpless before an enemy. Corps
pride developed rapidly. After the
Civil War. when the time came to re.
adjust. the peace conditions. there was.
perhaps. tendency to oyerspecialize
and It was inevitable that the line and
staff iealously should become acute.
The Spanish War In many ways
taught the unwisdom of permitting
these two sides to ply politics. to en-
gage in retirement enterprises.
II would be In the last degree bcne'
fetal to the Navy II this question could
be brought TO the point Of final adj
justmcnt by act OF Congress. Ener
gics that therefore have been expend

Of the service 10 the highest possible

The I N sRleHrER BUSINESS OUT

80, r. ~ l4tlt lOOk. ~
Since the publication of the final
crop report figures. much more
CHEEKY feeling Is perceptible among
business men. The great corn and
oats crops, the big values on farm
products, constitute a basis for a high
range Of prosperity, says the Wheeling
lntelligencer '7ils FE;t /
Business men are too subject to, al.
formations of temper In, Wall street.
3 The Sspeculatiye crowd makes money
solely byfpoying prices one way or
another. With PRICES alta dead center,
neither advancing, nor ,retreatlng, the
price of exchange seats falls, and
there Is no money IN the business.
Wall street lis thus Indifferent las to
the direction In which prices move
provided only that they move, The
traders will do their best to make
them rise, feeding out rose colored
visions OF the future. But II the pub
lie fails olbite, Sthen the same traders
( try precisely the (other tactics, and
hope that from their ;sulks they can

last July when the stock5market was
breaking under the assaults Of behi

TALLY unfavorable in the, situation
But hope and fear are SO contagious
that business men could not remain
immune from the Infection OF despair
whichtwas serving for the time being
the fortunes OF those who had money
to make by a fall In stocks.
THE present hopefulness is simply
a return to common sense. AS TO the
much dreaded influence OF politics, the
industries of.the country are perfectly
safe. No considerable party or In
fluence is going to favor any policy
that would smash our business life
Everyone but the Socialists Is per
4fectly willing that the railroads should
