A NAVY FOR SALE

It looks as if the world was against
Hayti since the gunboat that eonsti-
tutes her navy Is lying down at
League island, whittier she was sent
for repairs. which no contractor is
willing to make unless some Pespon-
sibIe person will guarantee payment
for the same. The history of the ex-
pioits of the Haytian navy" which
means the boat in question, sounds
like one of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic
operas. Originally a pleasure acht,
built fourteen years ago by a wealthy
New Yorker, who sailed in her under
her first name, America, to almost ey-
cry port on earth and then died. she
was unloaded by the executors Of the
estate on the former President of the
dark republic, Antonio Simon. This
official was having his troubles at the
time with a rival candidate for the Of
fee in the person Of the present exc
cutive, Cincinnatus LeConte, then the
leader of the rebel forces. After
eauipping the vessel with rapid-fire
guns and powder magazine, the first
President paraded her about the coast
of Hayti in order to scare the rebels,
who, however, refused to be friehten'
ed Finally when the Government
was overturned, the vessel was taken
as one of the assets and the name
changed to the formidable and terri
flying appeIlation, The Seventeenth
of December" to signalize the date of
the change Of Government. AS no
body will come forward and repair the
;essel without a guarantee of pay
ment, the navy yard offered to 10 the
work at cost, $150,000. But e7en in
this case Uncle Sans obliging offer
has not been met with any satisfac-
tory evidence OF an ability on the part
of Havti to find the money. The idea
of repairing the Haytian navy" has
therefore been abandoned by its Gov
eminent, which now has advertised it
for sale as junk and has received as
the highest offer bid of $4,000 from
alabama AS the vessel originally
cost $500 600 TO build and was sold to
Hayti for $25O,0n0, this offer OF $10,-
0G0 for her as junk shows how even
a navy" may deteriorate and sink to
loss estate-Phil&delphi Telegram.

THIRD PARTY HAVING
TROUBLE IN ILLINOIS
Discord Over Question Of Put
ting a State Ticket inathe
Field Against Taft

CHICAGO, July 15.-D issension has
broken out between the radicals"
and conservatives" OF the third par
ty movement in Illinois over the ques-
tion of placing a State and county
ticket in the field.
The conferences scheduled for to-
day failed to materialize as resnIt,
the leaders thinking It best to take
day of to pour a little oil on the
troubled waters.
The best authenticated reports OF
the trouble was that there was diff
ference of opinion as to the adyisa-
bility of placing State ticket In the
field. Another bother added to the
mix-up was that Colonel Roosevelt
has left the matter entirely to the
Rooseveltiahs of the State and has
made}no suggestion as to what course
should be pursued other than to say
that he though the head of the State
ticket ought to be some one in full
accord with the third party principles.
The CONSERVATIVE" element In the
feels that the Republican
ticket as picked at the primaries Is
about as strong as il can be.

WHY PEOPLE GO TO PARIS

| 1T isanot merely pleasure-seeking or
a desire for study and culture that
draws our people TO European travel
| and residence. but the opportunity
given for the people Of the denocratic4
republican country to associate on
terms of social equality with persons
of hereditary rank and privilege, and
even if one is extremely rich. and is "a
great captain of capital, like Mr.. Nor
! gan and some Others, to hobnob with
kings and emperors. 'r -.
From time to time some of our
! American cities have aspifed- to the
position of Paris as a specially pleas
ure resort, and years ago, when Gin
cinnati was the chief city in Ohio, be-
fore it gave precedence to Cleveland,
some of it's ambitious newspaper wri-
tiers declared it to be the Paris of
America" But the witty sGeorge D.
Prentice, who then dominated Ken
lucky journalism, insisted that If there
were any Paris in the makeup of the
Queen City it was plaster of paris,
and that settled the matter. d."
There can never be in the United
States a real Paris of America until
we shall get ranks and orders of no
bility, and that will only be when our
republic shall develop into a grand
imperial nation. Under newly &C
quired emperor titled class would
follow as a matter Of course, and the
easiest way to get it would be to sell
the titles. Ten million dollars would
buy a dukedom. five million the title
of count and one million that of a
baron. In the beginnings of Old
World nobility titles were. granted by
the sovereign for eminent services, but
VIXEN such a system is started in al
great country like ours the simplest
way would be to establish ar aristoc-
racy of wealth.
Until then our great metropolitan
cities will never be more than mere
centers of business and capital.

purposes Of a library IKE the London

an essential character Of the library
that itShad always been Of very ca
tkolic character. and it was this catho-
licity Of purpose. he thought, which
really recommended Ii.
He was sure that IN the end the
principle of the open door was the
best principle on which a library eonld
work, for free .compe tition between
serious literature and literature Of a
more attractive and imaginative char
acter was eventually better for the
reader. 1t was better that the reader
should have the opportunity Of read

not have the sense that he was being

Frederick Harrison, in seeonding the.

true that literature was in the -four
