The Senate and the Printing Bills.

The Senate is seriously considering
the proposition of having decisions of
the Supreme Court printed at the Gov
ernment Printing Office instead of be-
ing let out by contract Senator Over
man is of the opinion that $4,000 a
year could be saved by this change.
Senator Kern, floor leader of the ma
jority party, declared that the charge
now made for the publication of de-
cisions is iniquitous. He said:
Doubtless the clerk of the Supreme
Court of the United States, or the re-
porter, also gets considerable sums for
these advanced sheets in addition to
their regular remuneration. 1t seems
to me that there is a raid on the
Treasury in this printed matter that
will amount in the course of year to
"a very large sum of money-very
+. much larger than the salaries, l think.
The Senate has been some months
trying to establish economy and eff
fciency in the matter of the printing
of the Supreme Court decisions. Extra
copies of these decisions are printed
for the Senate at the price of 80 cents
a page, as against the much lower es-
innate made by the Government Print
S ing Office. A member of the Com
n1ittee on Printing stated to the Sen
y ate the other day that the initial price
of a page by the Supreme Cour; is
- $2.o5 a printed page. 1t appears that
$50 copies of each decision are print
ed at this rate for the use of the. Su-

comprised within the limits of SIN

The Real Issue in the Near East.

Italy's unexpected action in sending
her warships "for target practice"
from the Aegean to the Black Sea may
precipitate the fercest struggle ever
witnessed in the Near East. Russia
has registered an emphatic protest to
the powers. In order TO reach its
destination the feet had to pass
through the Dardanelles to the Sea
of Marmora and thence through the
Bosphorus. By doing so it violated
international treaties, which for sew
enty years have endeavored to keep
the Dardanelles closed to vessels of
war excepting those having the per-
mission of the Turkish government.
The intent had been at the time of
the Crimean war to restrain the Rus
sian feet from centering about Sebas-
topol The act of Italy brings the
question of the Dardanelles to the at
tention of every cabinet in Europe.
Ever Since IS4I the policy with re-
gard to the Turkish straits has been
fully defined. 1t was agreed by treaty
that the Black Sea should be neutral
lied and that the presence in the Dar-
danelles OF warships other than those
of the Turkish government was not to
be tolerated except on approval of the
sublime porte. In 1870 naturalization
OF the Black Sea was abandoned, and
year later Russian influence was
tacitly recognized there. Since then
the importance of the Dardanelles has
increased, and the aim of the treaties
has been to prevent the navigation
from the Black Sea to the Aegean by
warships through the Dardanelles.
Russian warships might enter the
Bosphorus from the Black Sea, but
they 'must leave it by the same route.
Ships of other powers might enter the
Dardanelles from the Aegean, but
they have to leave the same way. No
ship was to have the right to go
through either OF the two straits.
Russia has protested against Italy's
action. Italy has replied that the
treaties have not been violated, the
Turkish permission being needed only
to enter the straits, not to leave them.
But the treaties did not intend that
ships having the right to enter should
leave the straits by a different route
from that used on entering. The
Italian government perhaps intended
its act as an attempt to force neutral
ization of the two straits. But if
other powers should have the right
to pass through the DardaneIles into
the Black Sea, Russia, abutting on its
shores, certainly could claim the right
to pass out from the Black Sea into
the Aegean,
This would not suit England. One
thing is certain, the powers can no
longer look to Turkey to act as por-
ter of the Bosphorus, as sooner or
later Turkey will be forced to retire
to Asia Minor. Then will come the
struggle. Perhaps the present Italian
move will hasten this. We have point
ed out often that it is England's pol
icy to keep Russia bottled up in the
Black Sea, for if ever Muscovite war
ships are permitted to pass into the
Aegean and the Levant, England's
short route to India (the Suez CanaD
will be seriously threatened.

Playground Progress.

From the Louisville Courier-Joumhl.
The playground movement continues
to make rapid progress. Forty cities
operated supervised Fairgrounds last
year for the first time. During the year
the number OF cities having playground
commissions increased from twenty
four 10 thirty-seven. Reports have been
received from 2S7 cities which are main
tanning Fairgrounds. and the number is
not complete. Forty-eight- cities are us
ing their school houses as recreation
centers. Nineteen cities authorized bond
issues for recreation purposes last year
amounting to A.445,oO0. Among these
cities were Cleveland, Atlanta, MiIwau-
kee. San Diego. Tacoma, Oakland, Cal.
and Portland, Oreg. II is estimated that
nearly 100000 was spent during the
year in the administration of play
grounds. The University of California
had more than 900 students in its sum-
mer playground course last year.

William Sulzer.

1t appears that the commence OF tne
Tammany prosecutors of Gov. Sulzer
of New York is lessened considerably,
now that the trial is actually under
way, or else they would not have
trumped up FIVE new charges, among
them that of usurpstion of office,
which, indeed, is trivial. Mr.. Sulzer,
according to the New York statute,
had a perfect right to retain Office and
attend to his duties until the High
Court of Impeachment, now sitting,
shall have decided the question, if
ever it does. The usurpation was on
the part of Lieut.. Gov. Glynn, who
s could not wait until competent court
bad decided the important matter of
who should be temporary Governor.
Tammany has good reason for being
less confdents According to the news
dispatches, the influence which the
members Of the Court OF Appeals, who
aTe present in a body, exercise in the
High Court of Impeachment, became
evident when Chief Justice Cullen
sruled that the additional judges of
the Court OF Appeals (those of the
: Supreme Court bench), should also sit
In the court to try Mr.. Sulzer. Of
course. this does not at all suit Muir
ply and his satellites. They know
now what to expect. And what is
more remarkable still, there was not
a single objection heard to the ven
cradle Chief Justices ruling. This, in
deed, is significant, and the boss
chances of success have been lessened
greatly, unless Murphy should have
a genuine case against the Governor
Of New York.
The general public has decided long
Igo what this prosecution on the part
Of Tammany really amounts to. Sui
rer is to be hounde6 out of office be-
cause he had the remerity to introduce
and push laws to stop Tammany cor
r1ption, of graft that went into the
hundred of thousands of dollars an
unally, and to take from Boss Murphy
the whip which he persistently cracked
over the head of any official who re-
volted against the machine. Had Sui
ger succumbed to Tammany suprem-
5acy, no one would ever have heard a
word about his having used cam
paign funds for personal purposes. If
