To the disinterested and dispassionate mind there has been too much unreasoning eriticism of the recent action of the govern- ment in advancing som: of the officers of the navy in recognition of personal gal- jantry or the performance of exceptionally Valuable service, which the critics pleased to style “jumping.” It is altogether likely that th2 practice of this policy may occasionally work seeming injustice to others, and in some instances result in real hardship to meritorious offi- cers, who lack only the opportunity to dis- tinguish themselves in the same way. But the policy is n2vertheless a thoroughly good ene, as a general rule, and should be rig- idiy adhered to, not in the navy alone, but it skould be applied to the army, as well. In no other way can a nation get the best Sof its best men.

Perhaps If it were to be lo- ealized !t might be said to come from a short-sighted Congress. But whatevsr the first cause, whoever may be the direct ac- countable agent for the existing necessitics and failures, it remains true that tha mak- ing of an army out of the insufficient mate- Tials at hand and within immediate reach has been a gigantic undertaking, not to be accomplished within a few Geys, or even a few wesks The recruiting of the regular army placed In those ranks a large pereen! age of untried men The orgacization of a A vote for Stone for governor will prac- jeally be a vote for Quay for Senator, while if the opposition can effect the proper combinations it ought to secure both the » ticket and the senatorship. ut such combinations will be difficult. The democracy will put up a ticket and anti-Quay republicans to support it. But the democracy, of Pennsylvania is committed to the Chicago platform, and on that platform went two years ago to over- whelming defeat at the polls. Will it in- dorse that platform in state convention this year? Mr. Quay has made some expression on national issues necessary, because at the convention which he controiled the St. Louis platform was indorsed to the letter. By putting up a state ticket on the Chicago platform, therefore, the democracy would ask the anti-Quay republicans to accept principles more repugnant to them than the personal leadership they are anxious to throw off. A union of the opposition is absolutely essential to success. Mr. Quay with his machine can defeat divided forces. The only hope of defeating him, therefore, would appear to be in an independent movement, pitched in the key of state af- fairs and state reforms, and smacking In no particular of politics. There are many excellent and earnest men in Pennsylvania who not only desire a new order of things, but consider that its inauguration is abso- lutely necessary to the welfare of the state. They complain that the ring rule has had a blighting and demoralizing influence on all state affairs, and declare that for the common good it ought to be brought to an end. Why not put up a ticket selected without | Pesard to politics from the opposition, and, | leaving the national issues to the Congress districts, make the state fight on the needs tate for better government?

This the latest of a series of conflagrations «mong the ramshackle structures that dis- fixure the water edge of the city. When similar buildings were destroyed a few months ago the Commissioners granted a permit to rebuild in frame. Protests were entered and the work was suspended and later resumed whea the Commissioners found that their hands were tied in the se. A peculiar condition underlies this nomalous state of affairs. The entire strip of territory between the northern edge of Water street and the tide line of the river is in legal controversy. The govern- ment claims the title, while the occupants t this claim. The case, after dragging way through the courts for many years, has finally reached the last stage, the decision of the United States Su- preme Court alone standing between un- certainty and certainty. The court has ad- journed for the summer vacation, and thus @ decision can not be rendered before au- tumn. in consequence of this dispute the au- thority of the local officials over this strip of ground has never been clearly estab- lished, and hence the fire limits have not been extended beyond the northern edge of Water street. Inasmuch as the title of the occupants may at any time be swept dway, it has been impossible, or at least it would be inequitable, to com- pel them to erect permanent structures on this land, and they have continued to main- tain shanties and sheds. A few of the oc- cupants have kept their holdings in fair condition, but the majority of the strue- tures have long been a disgrace to the city. The commerce of the Potomac is not so extensive as to warrant such expensive and elaborate constructions along the river front as mark many of the foreign munici- palties bordering upon shores of rivers, d property worth lakes or oceans. Much attention has of late years been ‘paid to this matter in mu- nicipal architecture, and many vaiuable pa- pers have appeared recently in the tech- nical journals illustrative of the wholesome reform in wharf architecture abroad. Lit- tle has thus far been accomplished along the same line at home, however, but it is not to be doubted that in the course of time attention will be paid by authorities and public-spirited citizens to the water- front conditions, which are as yet formative and unpromising in most American cities. Washington can not, of course, enjoy this experience as long as the entire water front area is involved in litigation, and the future developments may be such as to hinder the full sweep of the reform that is now so desirable. The ultimate outcome of the controversy is uncertain. If title should ultimately vest in the government, several possible courses are open. The land may be cleared and used as parking. This is not likely, in view of the need for wharfing facilities. The ground may be sold or leased, or it may be allotted to private par- ties in consideration of the erection of such structures as to redeem the water front from its present wretched condition. But whatever may result from the suits now so relatively near a settlement, as regards the title or the terms of the holding, every pre- caution should be taken to prevent a con- tinuance of the style of architeoture and construction that now prevails and men- aces not only the water front itself but the rest of the city by causing the frequent withdrawal of the fire-engine service from the business and residential sections of the capital. ————»+-—____ The patriotism which impeis the sugar trust to oppose the annexation of Hawaii and to fight the war tax is, to say the least, a very complex quantity.

A Sad Waste. “It's disheartening,” said the pessimist. “What's the matter?” inquired his friend. “I was just thinking that even when men may earn glory and substantial reward risking their lives for their country, there will be the usual number of bathers who will see how far out they can swim.” The Pencemaker. He found, before his task he dropped, That it had sadly grown. He had, when one fight he had stopped, Two new ones of his own. Very Bad Form. “It is part of a public man’s duty to his constituents,” remarked the neatly clad congressman, “to habitually appear well dressed.”” “Yes,” replied his colleague, “but it’s a bad idea for him to let the impression go abroad that he is sugar coated.”” A Florida Reflection. “It all goes to show,” said the soldier, “how events declin: to accommodate them- selves to the convenience of the individ- valk? “I guess the government’s doing the best it can,” suggested his comrade. “I'm not complaining. But I can’t hip thinking how I'd have enjoyed these warm clothes when I was getting ready to go to the Klondike.” Taking Him Sert ly. “Are you actively engaged in politics?” asked the man who had just gone into the insuranc> business. “Yes. But I don’t see what that has to do with taking out a policy.” “Weli, 1 guess I'd better report the fact to the company, anyhow. There seems to be something about politics that breaks a tjan’s health down, so that he’s always thinking of retiring to private life, and of course there's no teliing how far the mal- ady may go.” In Cuba, “The batteries are silent down on Santiago shore.” No more the heavens echo to the sullen cannon’s roar. No more the air is heavy with the powder’s poisonous breath. No more the night is vivid with the streak- ing flash of death. With that relief which comes when some mad wolf has howled his last, Or when a snake's limp rattles show his venomous power is past, We hear the news which echoes loud the Ustening country o'er, “The batteries are silent down on Santiago shore.” -_—_s+o Reed gnd Dalsell. Washingten Dispatch to Chicago Tribune. When Representative Dalzell of the rules committee was seen this afternoon he said that the measure could be brought up at any time the majority desired, and that no rule was necessary. The way in which he spoke, more than what he said, indicated it «8 the purpose of Mr. Reed and_ his nds to stave off action indefinitely. When this information was conveyed to the friends of Hawaii in the House it pro- diced a bad impression, and they declared they would not permit the adjournment of Ccngress until they had been given a chan to vote upon this proposition. — +6 e---—_ The Oregon Election. From the New York Tribune, For reascns not exclusively relating to the financial question this notable victory will be grateful to the President and to those who share with him the chief re- sponsibility for the management of public airs at this momentous period. There was one chief issue in Oregon, and it was clearly drawn. But its decisive settlement is for that very reason an expressive tribute to an administration which has been faithful to its pledges, under which the iples which it was chosen to exemplify e been vindicated, and which, suddenly confronted with an unexpected task of supreme importance, now truly represents in the eyes of the world the majestic spirit and purpose of a united people. —__ + = Hawafian Annexation. From the Chicago Tribune. Senator White of California has nounced his purpose to resist the accom- plishment of this vital measure of national policy, and in order to do so will, no doubt, proceed to abuse that miscalled “senatorial courtesy,” which permits a member to bore the Senate with his narrow, partisan har- angues without limit. The question is, will the majority permit him to do so? To do this will make them practically partici- pants in his un-American and unpatriotic policy, which has no higher purpose than to play into the ae of the sugar trust and Claus Sprecke! ha an- A Compelling Cause. wish now that it had used due diligence in building the Nicaragua canal, or helping a private eompany to build it.
