Naval College for France.

Frances navy was until about tfteet,s
or twenty years ago the fnvorite SER
vice among the houses OF the old
French artstocracy. especially those OF,
the West n OF the South of France.
Brittany in particular being largely.
represented in the commissioned ranks,
Thanks TO this, there Is probably n
scholastic institution in the land that
has graduated so many mobiles OF an
Client lineage. titled and untitled. as the
training ship BOrda. at Brest, on which
all officers of the navy undergo a three
years course before being appointed
ensigns.
The announcement. therefore. llas
AVA with the Borda, and to establish
in It's stead @ naval college on shore
at Brest. Will attract widespread at.
ltention. The admiral is following In
this matter the example OF the Englfshs
admiralty. which not long ago nbol-
transferred the cadets to what Is now
known as the Naval College at Devon-
port. whichais built on much the same
lines as Annapolis. Tho building OF.
ready been begun on the Pointc, at
has been voted for the purpose.
The Scholarship system was first es-
ttabltshed in France lust q hundred
years ago by Emperor Napoleon, who
signing two men-of-war to the service
at Brest and one at Toulon. Louis
XVIII. abolished them. and organized
q naval college at Angoulome. But
In 1S3o&Ktng Louis Philippe sent back
Brest. namely. the Orion. which ten
years later was replaced by the Bordn.
n tho Borda has been used for thot
purpose ever since.

Something is radically wrong in
Pennsylvania. The best laid schemes
have gone agley. Carefully worked out
plans must have failed. The Judge
must have been honest or the jury
must have come from the upper part
of the state. Tho Commemorative
attorney must have meant business.
and must not have been influenced by
the politicians. Any and all of these
must have been combined in the start
ling issue: two of the Capitol grafters
are actually to be sent to prison.
we must confess to a deep sense
OF surprise. Ever since Treasurer
William Berry, of the Quaker State,
discovered in 1906 that the new Capitol
was h~oneycombed with graft and
rotten with peculation from cellar to
dome. we expected that n5final coat OF
whitcwash would 3coyerfit all. AS dis
closure after disclosure was made and
as greater graft led to lesser theft,
and so forth ad infinitum, we had no
hope that a single conviction would
come. How could We hope for such
a thinga Pennsylvania was Pennsyl-
wanna, and II all the guilty men In
VOWED in the graft were sent to prison
and properly striped, there would he
many vacant seats in the Legislature
and few lobbyists left about the Capt.
tol. Nor did our hopes brighten when
We learned, back iii 1907, that the
total graft would amount to moro
than $4,000. 900, We knew that the
proverb about putting q man IN the
Senate for stealing a railroad and put
ting another IN. prison for stealing u
loaf of bread had been originated In
Pennsylvania. We knew how the
proyerb would work.

An important arrest has been made

act Of 1901 has stolen $1,00o,000 of
the funds that came into his hands
, in the discharge of his trust. He has
confessed that the shortage will

planned that he lost it all in specula-
lions on the l3ourse. lie was liquida-
tor OF ten congregations, the most irl-
portant of which was the Christian

also connected with the liquidation OF
the AIisericordc missionaries. the Pic
pus Fathers, Marianistes, Oblates. Ttc-
demptionists, Oratians and the Ladies
of st. Maur, and 1t looks as II he
let them OF light. Why he didn't
take move, we do not know, except
that the higl-class I'renchman is al
ways polite. It is noted In the tele-
graphic dispatches in all seriousness
that another man has been put In the
place of Duez whose chief claim tc
distinction appears to be that liz
"liquidated the affairs OF the Panama

for Seitz to summon him as a Wit
ness for the defense in the case OF

We wonder at the moderation Of
this cmbezzler and our sympathies are
with him. Possibly he thought that as
the Government had stolen the proper
ty from the Church 1t could not max.
much of Il row about his taking his
share of the plumber, ana there would
be a great deal in such a view. A
Government which has stolen so free
tly itself should not begrudgc one OF
It's truatc.l agents like freedom in
the appropriation of what did not be-
long to him.
There has never been in the history
OF the world a more dishonest act
than the stealing OF the Church prop
erty in France by the Government OF
that country. The fact that 1t was
Church property makes the theft all
the more dlsgraceful and unpardona-
Bile. Our sympathies are wholly
with the thief, Duez. To steal
from the state what the State had
stolen from the Church could hardly
be called a mortal sin.
