Of other nations in rivalry of their

extend our commences even where the
doors are wide open and our goods
desired. Such situation is not to
be endured. 1t is OF capital import
ance not only that the United States
should be its own carrier on the seas
and enjoy the economic independence
which only an adequate merchant ma
rine would give it. but also that the
American hemisphere as a whole
should enjoy like independence and
self-sufficiency. II 1t is not to be drawn
into the tangle of European affairs.
without such independence the whole
question of our political unity and
self-determination is very seriously
clouded and complicated indeed.
Moreover. we can develop no true
or effective American policy without
ships of our own--not ships of war,
but ships of peace, carrying goods and
carrying much more; creating friend
ships and rendering Indispensable

The plans for the armed forces of

preparation for mobilization and de-

law, whenever the estimates Of ex-
penditure exceed the estimates of

congress to the fact and suggest any

it may be wise or possible for me to
suggest. l am ready to believe that 1t

THE OLD VIRGINIANS.
Eulogy Of the Traits Of an Interesting
Part Of the American Population.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: The
recent death OF an old Virginia lady at
the age OF 90 years and an acquaintance
Of the undersigned suggests some inter-
es,ing reflections with reference to a
golden age the like OF which has not
since been seen In America.
Reference is had to the old families
Of Virginia in the earlier part OF the life
OF the old lady mentioned above. They
formed what may he termed a natural
aristocracy. Their superior traits
stamped them as aristocrats in the best
sense. They were not better than some
other classes of people simply because
of wealth and the socia! privileges which
wealth confers. They were anything but
snobs. They detested s%nobbery. Those
old Virglnians were a Just. honorable
and chivalrous race, perhaps unique In
the history OF America. From them
sprang sue OF natures noblemen as
George Wythe. John Marshall, Bishop
Meade and Robert L. Lee.
The manhood OF that race was dis
tinguished for its personal integrity. its
fine intelligence. its reverence for wom-
anhood. its liberl!ity both OF opinion
and OF purse, It's personal courage. while
Its beauteuus w~omanhood. beau,eous In
every sense. reflected virtue of the pur-
est tint; and the singular charm or
those Virginia ladies graced many a
noble mansion.
Those old Virginians were Just and
kind to their slaves. And they loved n
country life for its own sake They
loved the horse as old Homer did. The
cultivation of their estates was a LIES
pride. Their homes were characterized
hy the most generous hospitality. And
what was mean or low was generally
far from them.
They were not a perfect people none
such ever walked this earth. But "A pas
sage in the sixth book OF the HAD,
words which passed between two Ho
meIic characters intent upon unfolding
the traditions of their families. Is justly
applicable 10 those old Nirginians. who
would do nothing to shame the lineage
of our fathers. who were OF noblest
blood In Ephyre."

RUBBING FOR DEAFNESS.
Further Testimony Of Relief From
Scalp Treatment.

To THE EpIToR OF THE SuN-Str: For
some years ! had been under the i'm
preston that wa shing the scalp or using
tonics for the hair was bad for the rea-
son that II was thought to have a ten
dency 10 increase deafness. and when ]
read your correspondents letter on the
treatment of deafness by means OF
manipulation Of tho scalp and the use Of
tonics In connection herewith was
at first rather doubtful about the EN-
cheney of the treatment. But ] finally
tried the plan. and am glad TO say that
II brought surprising results.
Rut what I cannot understand IL why
a wet scalp and rubbing should restore
normal hearing. l cannot account for
II. After trying the scheme ] discon-
t'nued the rubbing and use OF the tonic,
with the result that the hardness Of
hearing returned and with the resump-
ton OF the treatment 7 was again re-
'ieved. For many years I could not
hear ordinary conversation with my
left ear, but with the use OF the above
treatment the hearing In that ear be-
came normal.
II would he highly interesting to learn
what explanation ear specialists have to
give for this phenomenon, and whether
II can he utilized In the treatment Of
all cases OF deafness. or whether II IL
only good for some special or particular
cases. The fabitual use of coffee does
not appear 10 he harmful In my own
case. WILLIAM Il. Surpn,,,.

Westchester's Annette.

Justice ARTHUR S. TOMPKINs OF the
Supreme Court has patiently and in
diligently exposed the bill providing
for the creation of two new Justice
ships in his district ever since 1t first
saw the light. He has set against 1t
the facts OF the judicial esta blishment
In the district. an establishment never
inadequate, and by the workmen's
compensation law relieved Of a great
number Of cases formerly considered
In 1t. He has cited the records Of the
courts, in which 1t Is shown that the
Judges now in Office are not fully
employed; that the number Of cases
u~ndisposed Of Is being rapidly re.
duced /; and he has introduced himself
as a witness to the fact that the Jus.
tees are not Oyerworked.
The arguments OF Justice ToMpKINs
are sound and convincing 80 far as
they go. But they miss the heart OF
the matter. The new Justices are
wanted not because OF the c~ongested
condition OF the COURTS condition

Help New York BE Economical, Gov.
eruOr Whitman.

Governor WHITMAN should approve
the Mills bill, designed to enable the
city to build the new court house
economically and at the same time
to prevent the whole cost Of that
structure from becoming Immediately
a charge against the debt limit. The
measure was drawn In collaboration
by the Court House Board, the Comp
troller and the Corporation Counsel,
and has been accepted for the city
by Mayor Mitchell. 1t would grant
to the city a freedom Of action in
letting the contracts and prosecuting
the erection Of the structure impos-
slble under the charter, and particu-
larry desirable In the present difficult
condition of the treasury.
There Is NJ substantial argument
based on public interest against the
bill. Its approval would, in the opin-
ion Of those best qualified to judge,
expedite construction, result in econ

should, and we think will. lead the
Governor to approve the bill, and thus
aid New York in the financing of an
expensive but essential public work.
