LOCAL WAR NEWS OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The Newark Daily Advertiser, now
the STAR, on August 2s. 1851, published
the following:
.'Dr. E. D. G.. Smith. of this city,
who was recently appointed assistant
in the navy, has been assigned
to the u. S. cruiser Young Rover,
at Boston. She is pierced for six guns,
and will carry one or two swivel guns
in addition on her spar deck. Her des-
tination Is not positively known, but
it is supposed she will be sent to
cruise for %privateers in the gulf and
the neighborhood of the West India
Islands. She will probably sail in
about a week"

A CLAIM FOR RAILROAD BACK TAXES.

I'D ~EFERRING to the revaluation assessment of second class
Inn railroad property, which gives an increase of approximately
$1S,600,000 to Hudson county, the Jersey journal points
out that the assessment confirms the claims of the city assessors in
the past years, which claims had been set aside by State board and
the courts. The journal adds: And it is hardly to be expected
that the city will be satisfied unless taxes are paid by the companies
for the time the differentiation was continued, at least for the last
six years. The other years will be protected by the statute of
limitations, though the valuation has never been passed without
challenge and protest. If a claim for taxes for past years based
on the present years reyaluaton is valid Hudson county will come
in for the payment of nearly a million and a half for the past six
years, in addition to the income for this year. The revaluation
proves that the local assessors were correct in their claims for the
much larger assessment of secondclass railroad property than that
which was fixed against protest. 1t is not the fault of the county
or its municipalities that the lower assessments were made. They
were helpless in the matter.

A SoUTH AMERICAN NAVAL POWER.

cTN HE launching of a 25600ton battleship for Argentina at
Quincy, Mass, Saturday marks the beginning of modern
navies by South American States that are destined to play a
highly important role in the worlds affairs. The principal States of
South America have modern warships, but their navies in COM
parison with those of the great powers are contemplate. Argen-
tina and Brazil are now reaching out for effective navies composed
of the best made type of ships, and in a few years they will be
in a position, as far as armament goes. to put up a strong defense
against aggression by any European power. Much will depend
upon the quality of the crews and for a South American State that
is an extremely doubtful factor. The South Americans are not a
maritime people and have no genius for the ocean. But South
American battleships may be handy for the American navy in some
future emergency.

Motorcycle Policeman Joseph Frank,
of the Fifth precinct, can tell a lot
of good one about his experiences with
automobiles and their often refrac-
tory drivers, but what he considers
his one best story is this:
'One night an automobile carrying
license No. 69S01 came down Central
avenue at Fifth street, where I was
stationed, and hit a man In such a
way that 1t left him doubled up in
the gutter as II he had been trying to
stand on his head. I couldn't arrest
the driver, so l picked up the man and
helped him onto a car.
by the way l said, did you no.
tice the numbers on the car? I got q
Sure l got them he replied. I
took pains to get them into my head
even before l got up from that gutter.
They were 1os6s.'
Il compared them with the numbers
l had taken after he had gon home
and couldn't make anything of them
until l happened to turn my memoran-
dunn upside down. Then | remembered
how he had landed In the gutter, and
when l turned In my report to Captain
Long l made it No. 6ss01."

breath, land we came here to demand

Mr.. Kocher quickly, you are orphans,

They were finally convinced that that
was so and departed.
Deputy Clerk Elmer Freeland is the
greatest fisherman in the police de-
partment. From the moment he gets
up in the morning until he goes to
bed at night he is either fishing or talk
ing about the sport. And he makes
his friends happy at times. for he
brings up with him from his country
place a mess of fish most every morn
ing. which he distributes among the
boys.
The Judge with his family has a cot
tage at Waterwich and commutes
daily. He has the benefit of early
morning fishing. for he says he gets
up at 3 a. m. and fishes till about s,
and then gets into the water again
late in the afternoon.

PROGRESSIVE LOAVES AND FISHES.

IT'D OLITICS makes strange bedfelows. In Hoboken we find
ls the New Idea and Dickinson Republicans in combination for
the party primaries and running the same ticket. The Dick
inson faction represents the policies and objects of Samuel S. Dick
inson, the former Republican dictator in Hudson, who was endorsed
by his opponents in the county committee. Dickinson hasn't
changed any. He stands for the same things he stood for when he
was in power, and his faction makes no concession when it fuses
with the New Idea" or Progressive element. The explanation of
the anomaly of the union of these two elements is plain enough.
1t is the loaves and fishes.

Urges Better Track Protection.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Here Is what I believe a sane, prac-
teal way OF preventing a repetition
of the horrible wreck that cost. or will
cost, scores of lives at Manchester.
On all long runs. where express
trains travel at high speed, a test car
should be run between each express.
1t could be an inexpensive little car.
manned by one person and run by au-
tomobile power. The cost in the end
would be less than the loss of the
wrecks 1t would prevent. Track-walk-
ers cannot cover the ground ade-
quately.
But II the railroads are not far
sighted enough to see this the Inter
state Commerce Commission ought to
take them by the necks and show 1t
to them by means of a mandatory or
der. We are paying too great a price
for our fast living. HUMAN.

Praise for state sanatorium.

the Editor of the Evening stnr:
The latter part of lest week you
published a letter in your paper re-
garding conditions at the State Sana-
torium in Glen Gardner, N. j. I left
that institution last Monday, having
been there several months.
I firmly believe II safe to say that
the letter wholly misrepresents the
feeling of a majority of the patients.
A few complaints might be in order,
but that Is not always an easy matter
to avoid in an institution of such a
character. The best of food is fur
nished, but it is not the easiest thing
In the world to cook for almost two
hundred persons; and then, again, It is
a hard matter sometimes to keep things
fresh In the warm summer months.
True it is that occasionally the food
has not been right. and the stew which
created such a noisy demonstration Is
a memorable instance of that fact;
but, taking 1t on the whole, there is
no cause for much complaint, for any
one with a healthy appetite can
usually do ample justice to the TO I'd
set before him.
Regarding other matters. everything
Is done for the comfort and con-
venience of the patients. Cleanliness
is the order of the day. The doctors
and nurses are most loyal and devoted
to the welfare of the patients, and one
not being grateful should be severely
censured. A. L. PRESTON.
