EUROPEAN DETRAcTORs OF OUR NAVY.

TIA UROPEAN criticism of the American army and navy has
IL always been unfriendly because of ingraned prejudice. We
in this country have ceased to pay any attention to these
jaundiced criticisms. When a German military critic Who has won
celebrity in Germany principally because his criticisms are of a
character to crafty the national vanity says that the American
troops at San Antonio are inferior to the militia volunteers in
England il only shows what a strong bias he has against everything
American and how he judges everything by his individual stand
ards High officers of the British army, like General Butler, when
they went to South Africa TO whip the handful of Beers there, made
merry over the Boer as a soldier. They judged the Boer by their
own standards, and, as the sequel proved, they made a disastrous
nisiudgment. The Boer war also had the effect to open the eyes
of a great many military men in Europe TO the absolute defects of
a military organization like that of Germany, and the alarm was
sounded in Germany itself. 1t will be recalled that when the star
of Napoleon arose Prussia, inherting the military tradition of the
great Frederick, was believed TO have the finest and most efficient
AMY in Europe, drilled In the manner that Frederick had drilled his
battalions. And yet at the first shock of battle at Jena and Amer
stadt Napoleon destroyed the whole Prussian military establish.
ment. The American soldier, unlike the professional soldier of
Germany, has initiative and individual selfreliance. He is not en-
brely dependent upon his officers. He is not merely a cog in a
machine. II would be impossible to organize an army after the
German system in the United States, nor would it be military policy.
The initiative of the soldier is too valuable to sacrifice. 1t would
be impracticable, also, 10 organize an army in Germany with the
characteristics Of the American army. We can recall how our navy
was misjudged and slandered by so-called naval critics in Europe
at the beginning Of the war with Spain and how completely they
were disconnected and sienced in Manila harbor and at Santiago.

way Of telling from his hands that he

Xxx. THUMBS THIRD pHAIANy.

Some philosophers lay the greatest
stress upon money as the principal
handspring Of action In the world
others regard ambition and love Of
glory as the prime of human
affairs. Still another school contends
that love is really the one factor Of
such overwhelming might that no other
motive on earth can compare with Il
in importance.
And this third conjecture Is no doubt
right, for Is it not to love that ths
human race owes ite very existence7s
Indeed, without 1t the species soon
would be as extinct as h late lament

This is a rather long prologue for the

THE dEPAN BILL GREEK HORSE.

TA VERIFYING at Trenton tonight at the beginning Of the
IL eleventh week of the session will be overshadowed and put
out of sight by the Geran bill, a personal partisan measure
that has almost exclusively occupied attention at the State house
since the session began ten weeks ago. 1t goes without saying that
all the vitality that is given to the bill that George /. Record Is
known to have drafted comes from the feverish desire OF the Gov
ernor to get it on the statute book regardless OF any consequences
to- the Democratic party. But for this unreasoning attitude and
tbe powerful appeal to selfinterest represented in the executive
appointments, so long withheld, the Geran bill would not have
blocked legislation for ten weeks. 1t would have been reported
and quickly disposed of by an unfettered Legislature. The author
Of the bill gagged its effect when he drafted 1t. He had read the
story of the stratagem of the Greek horse. The bill adopted by the
Governor and given to Mr.. Geran to father in the Assembly was a
Greek horse Allied with destructive agencies for the Democratic
party TO be belched upon the party in the next election campaign.
The stratagem has succeeded thus far and the power OF the Governor
has been employed to push that Greek horse into the Democratic
camp. and the prospects at Trenton today indicate that there 1t
will be lodged until the foes 1t conceals are ready to do their dis
astrous work to the Democratic organization.

TT t was at Princeton, IN his dignihed retirement there, that Grover
Cleveland lost the character of Il political partisan and became
invested with that of a national sage. Mr. Cleveland had
achieved two terms as President, after having served with distin-
guished ability as governor of New York. AS President he had
displayed all the qualities of greatness, those of sound judgment,
firm purpose. unfinching courage and lofty patriotism. Clevelands
qualities never shone brighter than when he refused as a Democrat
to be carried away by the free silver movement or TO lend TO it the
support of his high office. For that alone the nation is under eter
nal obligations to Grover Cleveland. An abiding sense of his serv
ices to the country grew in mems minds and thoughts and bred an
increasing love and respect for him while he was living retired at
Princeton, and it inspired the splendid tributes paid to his memory
when he passed away. Hardly had he been laid in the grave when
the movement for a great national memorial, led by former Senator
Dryden, was under way. On Saturday night the completed success
of the memorial fund was announced by Senator Dryden in a wire
less dispatch to Mrs. Cleveland, now on her way to Europe. Prob
ably no personal achievement in the career of Mr.. Dryden has af
forded him the pleasure he felt in making that announcements
pleasure that many thousands of his cOuntrymen share with him.

NOW FOR TRUNK SEWER CONSTRUCTION

oTa HE estimate of $12 235y0OO as the contract cost of the com.
IL pleted trunk sewer, given to the Passaic Sewerage Commits
sion by a large contracting firm in New York, more than
confirms the engineering estimates of the commission and serves to
quiet the doubts and approximations of municipalities like Paterson
that have held up sewer construction in the fear that the ultimate
cost would go much higher than the commission figured. 1t may
he assumed that an actual bid for the construction work in com
petition with other bids will be much lower than the estimate, so
there is reason to believe that the contract work will not exceed
Twelve millions in cost. That fact ascertained, there is no sane
excuse for any of the Passac Valley municipalities to withhold
is signature to the contract with the sewerage commission. Pater-
son obstinacy has finally been conquered by the logic of figures
and that town has been the great stumbling block in the way. The
beginning of the work of trunk sewer construction will be coinci-
dent with that of dock and meadow development of Newark. The
two great enterprises are closely related. With the sewer built, the
river emptying into the bay will no longer pollute it with sewage
and all up the channel. The ships that come to our docks will not
have to plough through filth and the bay and river front will once
more be an attractive resort for the public.
