STEAMERS HAVE
ROUNDED Up A
YEAR At ANCHOR
TWO GERMAN AND ONE AUS
TRAN VESSEL HAVE IDLY
SWUNG AT CABLES FOR AN
ENTIRE TwELyE-MoNTH.

Three steamships in Pensacola,
with the beginning of this week, viii
have rounded out an entire twelve
month in this harbor. Two Of them
have been at the same anchorage for
the entire time. The third has moved
from its original anchorage to point
over in the western part Of the har-
Dor and shortly afterward, was again
moved, going to Perdido wharf, where
cargo was discharged. Then the same
ship moved to an anchorage in the
western bay, cut Of the area of ship
ping generally, where she dropped
anchor and will be there, perhaps, for
many months to come.
On July 20 of last year, the Ger
man steamship Rudolf Blumberg ar
rived in port, for a cargo of timber
and lumber. This was supplied in
due order, and within a few days
afterward, the same steamer went
to the stream, this following the be-
ginning of the world-war in Europe.
About that time it was almost unsafe
for ship flying the German flag to
poke its nose out of gulf or Atlantic
ports, because of the reported pres
ence of British and French cruisers
The Rudolf Blunberg, therefore
dropped anchor and decided to remain
until more favored circumstances pre-
scented themselves for a dash for
home, or for the other side. Her
cargo was destined for Spain. After
remaining for months at her first an
chorage, it was decided to move hel
out of the way of shipping, and with
in another few months, the Blumbere
was locked at Pendido wharf, her car
go having been ordered discharged by
the court. Thereafter the steamer
has swung lazily at anchor.
On August 2 of last year, one day
after the declaration of war, the Ger
man steamship Vogesen put into Pen
sacola harbor with a cargo of 1850
tons of kainit from Germany. II
might be stated that this was the
last cargo aboard q German vessel
to reach a gulf port. This was dis
charged and the Vogesen moved to 2
berth in the stream, where she has
been ever since. The record in, the
custom house showed that her sealed
up supplies consisted, outside of fooC
stuffs, Of 300 cigars, 20 bottles of spir.
its, 40 bottles of wine, and four sealec
cases Of beer. This steamer has buf
three men aboard.
On August 3, a couple Of day
after the war started in which Aus
tria was embroiled Immediately, tn
Austrian steamer Lucia put into port
loaded with $3.50 tons of Floridi
phosphate. This steamer came for /
large shipment of tobacco, which wa
not loaded. The Lucia came up Il
the west side of Commandment;
wharf, but things looked too ominous
and the fine Austro-Americano line
decided not to take the shipment o
tobacco, and it has since been shippe.
on an Italian steamer, the Monviso
for its destination. The Lucia has
since August remained in port, an,
the phosphate is still aboard. Tn,
customs record showed that Their
were eighteen barrels of wine aboart
| this vessel, of course for the ship
use. It is understood but three o
four men aer aboard this steamer.

STATE PURCHASING AGENT.

Ex-Governor Baldwin Is among those who have praised the message of Governor Holcomb, saying that 1t is full of good sense and wise coun- sel He is naturally elated over the governors recommendation for a state purveyor as he. favored 1t him. self as did Governor Woodruff be- fore him and expresses the belief that with the endorsement of the republi- can party it ought to result in actual and beneficial legislation. The ex- governor remarks that the trustees of some of the state institutions opposed the plan for purchasing agent be- cause 1t would lessen their patronage and power, but as the case is remem- bered they also opposed it because they felt that the result predicted would not be forth coming and that the scheme would not work out as some thought. The matter has been discussed repeatedly in the Herald and while there is no denying the fact that the plan works out we'll in private business and that large quan- titles of goods can be purchased more advantageously than in small lots, it is a question whether the many ar ticles needed in the various institu- tions can be bought by person who is not familiar with the actual and detailed needs of any particular insti- tuition any better than those in actual charge No one can tell accurately about this matter until the plan is tried On the face of it it would seem as if it could not be done.
 The proposition looks good in theo- ry because 1t has worked out so we'll in private business. but in a factory for instance, the purchasing agent Is in close touch with the actual needs of the corporation; he buys the same kind of goods in whatever quantities may please him or are required and he gradually comes to know all about the business, while in a state there Is no one who can become so we'll postedas to the needs of the institution as those in immediate charge.

Question of Economies, Not Politics
 (New London Day.)

(NeW London Day.)
 One of the most persistent causes for the failure of constructive legis- lation in this country, why the con- gressiOnal mountain so often labors and brings forth an economic mouse, is the distinctively American habit oe carrying partisanship beyond election day and interjecting party bias into nearly every question of importance that arises in the conduct of public business That there should be pO- litical parties in a democracy is emj- nently desirable; that there should be wide divergence in the political creeds of the parties is inevita ble; but that there should be alignment by party on any and every measure pro- posed by an administration is neither sef1sible nor advantageous in any way: rather it is a serious handicap upon our national progress.
 So fixed has this Ina abit become that there are thousands of newspa pers and hundreds of public men who actually feel as if they would be do- ing a disloyal deed by their party if they supported any act or proposal of the opposite party when that party happens to be in power. This is an unfortunate state of affairs, for it creates in congress and throug hout the country an opposition so given over to single idea as to be fanatical. We are sadly in need of a spirit of eclecticism in our national councils, a disposition to select the best offer ings of all parties and apply them to the necessities of the country, instead

very unpleasant and prevented the firemen from performing their best service. It Is now proposed to pro- vide an exit every block or two as a means of exit and so that in the event of a fire the flames can be fought right where they are.
 There will probably be some oppo- sition to the installation of steel cars because of the large cost on the cor porations which are In control of the subway. One New York newspaper quotes them as saying that steel cars would destroy their dividends but it answers back that the dividends would go to the public in safer ser- vice. Those who have ridden in the subway could not have escaped won- dering as to the results in the event of a panic of any kind. There was one this week and the wonder of 1t all Is that there were not many peo- pie killed. The conditions were all present for a large loss of life.
 Whether all the improvements de- manded in the heat of agitation will be provided may be a question, but there Is no doubt but that there will be greater care and watchfulness on the part of the subway officials for a long time as a result of the fire this week.

or stubborn determination to stick
 to party lines throughout an entire
 session or congress. In neither of the great parties does any such
 breadth of vision obtain. When the republicans are in majority they can
 count on practically unanimous op- position from the democrats to any
 important measure they may propose.
 When the conditions are reversed, there is a too solid alignment of re-
 publ1cans against any important democratic proposition.
 About the last measure that ought to be made matter of party politics
 is the ship purchase bill. Yet there
 are unquestionably numerous repuh- licans in congress who are counted
 on to oppose that bill for no other reason in the world than that it nap pens to have been suggested by democratic administration. Tn thcir opposition they are but following the traditions of American political life; doing precisely what the democrats have done many a time; but after all it is a childish proceeding.
 This matter of government owned ships is one that ought to be ap- preached with an open mind. It is 1 a big proposition. It may possi hiy 1 contain the germ of huge national 1 benefit. It is deserving of the deep- est and most disinterested thought 1 It has absolutely nothing to do ,yi+h l party policies or party advantage
 It should be thought out on it's merits i and with only one idea in view, is it l likely to be good thing for the na- ] tional welfare?

Probably there is no reason to doubt the correctness of Dr. Stolls declaration that the old built-in brick cells at the Hartford jail are liable to infection, and that because it is difficult or perhaps impossible to dis infect them they are source of danger How serious the danger is remains to be shown. for probably no records have been kept that would help materially in answering the question. Yet it seems plain that something should be done in this di- rection as speedily as possible, if it is true, as Dr. Stoll suggests that these brick cells cannot be disinfected.- Hartford Times.
 Frank Healey, chosen speaker of the house at the republican caucus in Hartford, last evening. has come back. so to speak He is considered the brightest parliamentarian in the state and will no doubt crack the whip over the membership in the customary party manner. It is a sad reflection on the part of the people of an intelligent state like COnnecti- cut to devote the greater part of a legislative session to filling appOintiVe offices in the state, the very means of continuing tricky politics from one year to another. and keeping in office a class who practically throw down the gauntlet to the people with the admission that the people owe them a Hving.-Middletown Penny Press.

EAST PRUSSIA PLANTING
GOVERNMENT PROBLEM
Soil Capable of Producing 1000, 900
Tons Toward Country
Food Supplies.

Correspondence Of the Associated l'rc>s
KOENIGSBf.RC;. Prussia. April l'-one
Of the most difficult problems that the
government of East Prussia is trying TO
solve is to get the frontier districts OF
the province, recently occupied by the
Russians, planted in time for this year $
harvests The agricultural lands n cues
ton can produce ,00O, 600 tons IF grain:
and the authorities are planning and
working to get them under cultivation and
so contribute toward keeping up the
cuuntry's food supplies.
The obstacles to be overcome. however,
are great Most of the population are
refugees in other parts. and their homes
were so generally destr Dyed that some of
the most important regions nave not Vel
been declared open for the return of the
refugees: In others the inhabitants have
come back and the inflow continues.
Not only the people hilt the horses OF
the provinces were scattered to the four
winds. 1t is the most important horse
breeding region in Germany; less than
10000 head were kept in the devastated
districts. A small part Of these We're
saved by taking them to more distant
parts of the country; and these animals
are now being brought back to the de-
sert ed farms Horses captured from the
Russians and animals from the German
army that are no longer able to do the
heavy military work are being pressed
into service in planting the fields But the
supply of pillow horses is not near great
enough, and motor plows and harrows are
being extensively used.
Russian prisoners have been set TO
blowing in large numbers. and German
soldiers are to be furloushed 10 some eX-
tent to assist in farm work. Field Mar
shall Won Hinderburs has promised that
The military authorities will do every
thing possible in this way to get the
fields planted. The provincial authorities
nave gone about the solution of this
problem with cha ira cteriStlc German
thoronshness. Under their auspices COM
mittees have been organized IN the va
rious districts to take in hand the re
vival of agriculture. These have fund
of some 100000 government money at
their disposal, which is to be distributed
among the farmers at a iXed rate per
'acre planted.
