Gas Burners and Rates.

The public utilities commission has
explained its position in reference to
the gas quality in rather remarkable
terms 1t is acknowledged that the
present illuminating standard of the
gas is not as high as it should be, but
point is made of the fact that the
heating quality is high, and that if
the consumers will adopt mantle
burners in lieu of the old style fiat
fame burners they will get better re-
suits in illumination, inasmuch as
mantle lighting depends upon the
heat quality rather than the illumi-
mating quality of the gas. 1t is, how
ever, recognized that the public gem
orally will not Immediately adopt
the mantle burner, partly on account
of the expense and because of the
necessity of renewals, and therefor
there will remain certain percent
age of consumers dependent upon the
direct illuminating value of the gas
The hope is held out that through the
abrogation of the illuminating stand
ard lower rate of public charge can
be prescribed, inasmuch as it costs
less to produce gas of high heating
but low illuminating quality. If the
reduced rate were adopted at once
there would probably be more gen
eral use of mantle burners, as the
saving in gas cost could be applied
to the purchase of the new equip
ment. No indication is given by the
commission of the length of time for
observation respecting the adoption
of new rates, and the public would
appreciate some line of information
on this point.

ships. and cost enormously 1t would
enable us to stand off the world on
the water. Such was not the animal
ing spirit of those who recently
pressed Congress for larger naval
appropriations, and who regret their
failure Such is not the spirit that
will animate them when they return
TO the work upon the assembling Of
the new Congress.

And we are able to guard them. Il
is only matter of appealing to the
national pride and sense of security.
The people will not begrudge provi-
sions for an adequate sea power.
On this account putting the case
in an exaggerated form may hurt
rather than help. The proposition is
not to equip ourselves to lick crea-
tion." but only to take our place as a
world power. with a long and ex-
posed coast line on each of the two
oceans mentioned. And that can be
done without inourring staggering ex-
penses.
1t is mistake, likewise. in urging
the proper naval preparations to lay
particular emphasis on the Philip
pines. That is calculated to put
Japan on notice. That assumes that
Japan not only desires. but is making
distinct preparations, to strike us.
Now. while the Philippines arc inn
portant in our calculations, repre-
senting, as they do, both the national
pride and the national obligations III
that quarter of the globe, we should
not, and do not, think of any notable
increase in our navy for the express
purpose OF defending those islands.

general program. not the program it

American possessions will, by such 4

Let us have an adequate navy. The
additional ships necessary cannot, OF
course, be built in day. but formal
Inauguration of such policy would
have an excellent effect on all our

The Dardaneues.

The forcing of the Dardanelles"
has now progressed to the point at
which slight advance is being scored
and heavy losses are suffered by the
attackers. The Turkish forts in the
narrows are formidable, and the
chance OF hits by floating mines is
high, as shown by the destruction of
the Bouvet, the Ocean and the IRE
sistible. From Berlin comes the con-
fident assertion that the allied fleet
has reached as far as it can go, while
the British admiralty is evidently not
shaken in its faith in the ability of
the warships, possibly aided by large
landing forces, to smash their way
through to the Sea of Marmora,
from which they can make a COM

The republicans swept the deck
last year. gaining complete control
of the states affairs. No more a1naz-
ing mess ha6 ever been made than
that OF the democracy under Tam
many's influence. Waste OF the pub
lie funds and scandals affecting high
officials were among the counts OF
the Indictment upon which the voters
found the democracy guilty.
When on the first OF this year,
therefore, the republicans came in,
flushed with great victory and in
structed by a clear mandate, they
were expected to begin at once the
work OF cleaning house and inau-
gurating reforms
At the end OF nearly three months
they have done practically nothing
but fall out among themselves about
what should be done. The triunl-
phant majority has divided into fac
tions, and the factions are indus
triously fighting one another. The
Tammany mess seems TO have been
forgotten Hence Mr.. Murphy's
smile, and his affectionate pat on
the back OF his tiger cat.
The gravity of the situation from
the republican point of view is to be
appreciated from the statement,
which can be truthfuily made, that if
this were March OF next year, New
York would stand small, if any,
chance to influence the next repub-
lican national convention, either as

subjects, would rob the republican
organization of the state of its claim

xerious doubt as to November be-
cause of that fact, would put the

An Armory for the Grand.

\ proposition has been advanced
that the Grand Hotel, at the corner
OF Pennsylvania avenue and 18th
street, which is about to be vacated
by the governments tenant on no

be utilized as a National Guard ar
mory, and at the same time plan is
under consideration to lease the old

the same purpose. These projected

never had an adequate home and is
seriously handicapped by lack OF
proper facilities. The War Depart
ment recognizes this disadvantage
but in the absence OF liberal ap-
preparation policy on the part OF
Congress nothing can be done to
bring about the proper housing OF
the guard. Both OF the buildings
suggested for temporary quarters
would serve only as provisional ac-

the permanent silcncing of the forts

Full Petticoats!

The announcement that wide.
full petticoats will be worn this
spring will be met with dis
may by the women folk.
A few years ago such an
ultimatum would have caused
not even a ripple on the Sea OF
Fashion. But today. when
every suggestion OF width has
been carefully removed from
the underskirt. leaving it mar
row to skimpiness, this latest
style will mean no inconsider-
able annoyance to womanklnd.
Such decree has. OF course,
come about since wide skirts
are vogue, and as this latter
style shows no inclination at
this time to recede, it is per-
haps quite natural that the full
petticoat craze should follow.

Newspaper Honesty.
from the Philadelphia Telegraph.

Most newspapers are utterly free
from corrupt control. They do not dis
tort news to support editorial opinion.
They do not suppress information
which disagrees with their conclusions.
They do not accept money or favors in
any coin in return for a surrender of
their convictions Before the United
States Senate ship lobby probers the
editor Of the New York Times set forth
the above facts in vigorous language.
II any contrary belief prevailed in the
public mind newspapers would lose
their influence overnight. The news

low to the public ear. Honesty is the
