WANTS SHIP in THE POTOMAC
Navy League Seconds a Suggestion
That the Constellation Be Brought
o-Washinston.

Endorsement Of the navy department
Recommendation that the famous old
ship Constellation be moored in the
Potomac river. on Potomac park. was
given in statement issued the other
day by the Navy League of the United
States, from the office Of it's secre-
tary. The Constellation, which was
one Of the first ships of the American
navy, and whose name will probably
be linked forever with the British
Guerriere, because of the hand-to-hand
death grapple OF the two ships, now
lies OFF Newport, but there is a strong
sentiment favorable to bringing her
here.
The Navy league claims no original.

quotes Rear Admiral Victor Blue, chief
or the bureau of navigation, who in
his last annual report, submitted to
the secretary of the navy. state

1t Is recommended that the frigate

paired in accordance with the act of

viding 100000 to restore her as far
as practicable to. her original condi.

anchored in the Potomac river just OFF
Potomac park. Should the Constella-
ton or the Constitution be brought
to the national capital and made ac-
cessible to the tourists who are con-
stantly arriving from all points in the
country, 1t is believed it would create
greater national interest in the new
navy and be means of instilling a
greater patriotism in the mind of the

Last KIna of the eoths.


Roderick, the last king of the West
Goths, In Spain, was overthrown and
probably slain by the Saracens In I'll.
The fate Of Roderick has always been
a mystery. His horse and sandals
were found the day after the battle on
the river bank, but his body could
not be found. Probably he was
drowned and washed out to the sea,
but the Spaniards would not believe
this. They clothed the dead king with
a holy mystery which certainly did
not enshroud him when alive. He be.
came legendary savior, like Arthur
Of Britain, and It was long believed
that he would come again from his
resting place in some ocean isle, healed
of his wound, to lead the Christians
once more against the infdels. Span
tsh legends record that Roderick fled
to the mountains and became hermit
until, by penance, he was purified from
sin and was then suffered to depart to
the enchanted isle to await the time
for his temperance.

Two thousand or more inspectors
Will be employed TO run down those
who are trying to evade the payment
of their just dues. and they will be
armed with authority to examine

Is relied upon TO make up the def

The delinQuents are by no means
confined TO persons who draw salaries

from the source Of their salaries what
they receive for their services. 1t is

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.


So much is said ia consuls reports
and government bulletins about the
plumbers Of American manufacturers
in their handling Of foreign trade that
without the side lights Of further in
formation on the subject one might
come to the unhappy conclusion that
American producers OF manufactured
goods are little less than idiotic and
that the export business of the United
Staes Is a mere bagatelle
The reason is that we have heard a
great deal about the plumbers and fail
ures and much less about the success
es Perhaps it is just as we'll The
successes viii take care OF themselves,
but the blunders should be corrected.
AS a matter OF fact tho export bust
ness Of the United States has attained
enormous proportions. True It is not
as large as il should he since II is no
greater than that of Germany, a much
smaller country in area, population
and resources. and yet il has reached
the comfortable figure OF $4,000 0O,-
600 a year and is steadily gaining on
Great Britain's export trade. which
now has a margin of a thousand mil
lions.
So we Americans need not be dis
couraged. though as matter Of fact
We have won this success on the super
Tor quality Of our products rather than
on our business intelligence in dealing
with the people OF foreign nations
That is a particular i'm which Euro
peans excel us and I'm which we need
education and coaching. For so many
years Americans were too busy supply
ing their home trade to pay much at
tention to foreign business, but even
tually the time came when their facil-
tiles for production surpassed the de-
mands of the domestic market. i'm
mense as il is and rapidly as il grows
Then. as at home, they depended
upon the quality of their products 70
sell them, handicapped by lack OF
shipping requirements in the way OF
packing. Indifferent attention 80 the
trade and the lower prices of foreign
made goods IN the end quality is
winning against base foreign imita-
tions through the slow, but certain rec
ognition of American products as
more useful goods and worth the
prices asked for them.
In some lines. such as locomotives
electrical machinery etc, the foreign
trade is coming &c rely on American
manufacturers for promptness in de
livery and the ability To overcome diff
ficulties ard meet tie demands OF It's
needs. This being true the United
States should be selling more goods
abroad than Great Britain within Tn,

pentance hardly goes in politics. even
for selfish ends.
No man will be so bold as to accuse
the writer of ever being unfaithful to
the republican party. or it's best inter
ests, or wanting anything but success
for the men on the ticket who are
honest and conscientious adherents Of
the party and no man would urge
more strenuously the defeat OF men
who deserted their colOrs in the hour
of need.
An old soldier Of much prominence
in politics remarked TO the writer a
few days since, that eighty per cent of
the old soldiers of the county would
refuse to vote for several candidates
on the ticket, because they not only
refused to vote for the republican can
didate for mayor in the last city cam
paign, but were imbued with hatred Of
they party they voted for and worked
for the bull moose leader on the citi-
zens' ticket after he had used every
effort in the last presidential campaign
to swamp the republican party.
Another old republican leader re-
Gently said, Let their reward be po-
litical oblivion"
The writer does not believe il wise
or honest to censure the rank and file
Of the party for being led astray in
the city campaign by the tricky poll
ticians. as ninety per cent of them re-
greet their action, but the man who
seeks political preferment should
come before the party with clean robes
politically
The writer comedies every man the
right to vote as his conscience dictates,
or as he sees fit, but also believes
when he comes forth TO represent GER
l. ,..1-s
when he works for nomination, he
should be a representative and not a
misrepresentation of the principles he
processes.
This would be just the time for the
repu blican nominees for judge, audi
tor clerk, prosecutor, treasurer and
some others, to come out openly and
refute the reports that they were in
active and did not attend the republi-
can meetings last fall in the city cam
paign, and the reports that some Of
them openly worked for the defeat of
the republican candidate?
There is too much talk OF independ-
ent voting. and voting for the man"
a%l mot for the party, all of which
means if the party is wrong, there is
something wrong with the representa-
tive of the party. No man can rep
resent a wrong, and be right.
An honest republican should vote
for republicans and none other. If a
man gets on the ticket a republican
cannot support, it is an easy matter to
check him off the list, but do not COM
nit the offense Of voting for some one
on the other tickets, who will also
misrepresent you. if elected.
We have a glorious state ticket
and it is 70 be deplored that there can
be any charge of dislOyalty IN tho
county.
All republicans can vote the entire
state ticket with absolute confidence
that honest men will represent them
if elected, and IL will be a nice ma
jority or all signs fail.

the business and improved facilities
