THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1886. ' The Overcrowded Navy. The naval establishment of the United States, as at present constituted, is not a branch of the public service reference to which is ealculated to enhance the pride and patriotism of the average American citizen. Unquestionably the history of the American navy isa glorious record of splendid gallantry and brave achieve ment, of which every American is justly proud, and this service hus supplied to the list of great heroes names that will be illustrions through all time. But it is quite impossible to regard the present so- called navy of the country without a feeling of humiliation, unless one is wholly indifferent as to whether or not the nation has a navy. Asamatter of fact there 18 a good deal of indifference in the matter, and until something shall arise to demand a nawy this feeling is more likely to increase than to diminish. We may fondly hope that no such demand will come, but it is a question more or less serious whether the country should not antici pate the possibility by such adequate | preparation as would assure a degree of security and perhaps also have the effect of averting danger. Meanwhile the government has per- force gone on creating candidates for positions in the naval establishment until it has been found impracticable to provide for them. In 1832 the congress passed an act designed to remedy this difficulty by providing for the discharge of surplus naval graduates. In applica- tion this measure was made retroactive, with the consequence of depriving more than a hundred aspirantsto naval honors of the object of their altogether worthy ambition, These unfortunates are now clamoring at the portals of congress to be restored to their alleged rights, and a bill for this purpose has received con- sideration in the senate. In the discus- sion a good deal was said on both sides relative to the assumed injustice of the act of 1882, but we are chiefly intercsted in some of the facts which the diseussion elicited. It appears from the unchallenged statement of one senator that there are alveady three hun- dred oflicers in the navy for whom there is practically no use, and the annual cost to the nation of maintaining these little- employed gentlemen is probably quite half a million dollars. It isa somewhat impressive fact that since the war $383,- 000,000 have been expended for naval purposes, and a fair appraisal of the en- tire assets of the naval establishment to-day would probably not give a valua- tion much in excess of ten per cent. of the above amount. A very large part of this has gone to the hundreds of ofticers who in that time have rendered little or no service, simply because there was lit- tle or no service to be rendered. Still the educational mill at Annapolis grinds on and annually sends out its grist of candidates. It can be of no present importance to inquire where belongs the re- sponsibility for this condition of affairs, but the obvious alternatives are that either the creation of candidates for naval officers must be greatly curtailed or provisions should be made for their employment by enlarging the naval es- tablishment. It would probably not be unwise to give the educational mill at Annapolis a rest of a few years. In a Pitiable Plight. The democratic party of Ohio is ina pitiable condition. For several years past it has been going from bad to worse, reaching the climax of its anscrupulous and reckless course in the glaring frauds upon the ballot at the election of last fall in Cincinnati, and supplementing that rascality by an attempt to override the inferior courts and use the supreme court in order that itmght get the fruits of the frauds. There has been nothing any- where else in recent politics at all com- parable in reckless rascality to the course of the Ohio democracy under the manipu- lations of McLean and his unscrupulous factotum, Allen O. Myers, and only auringthe worst period of the Tweed me shall we find a parallel to it. The ent facts of this history are all fa- miliar to the reader of political events. The corruptcoai oil legislature which elected a United States senator whose right to his seat the senate has been asked to investigate on the ground that it was obtained by corrupt means, the degradation of the supreme court by using it for parti purposes, the Cin- cinnati frauds, and the revolutionary at- tempt of the men who profited by the frauds to control a branch of the legisla- ture, or, failing in that, to stop the ma- chinery of the government—all these fucts every reader of current history is famliar with. For the good name of Ohio, it would be well if the record could be obliterated., The partv having gone to the extrem- ity of political wickedness under its Inte leaders, and those leaders having appar- ently, tor the time being at least, ex- hausted their resources for mischief,there is some promse that the better elements, which have been overawed by the rabble, will assert themselves and endeavor to lead the party back into straighter paths and the practice of less dishouorable The Ohio club, a dem organization in incinnati, just issued & manifesto to the party, in which, with most com mendable candor, the frands committed in democratic wards of Cincinnati last October is acknowledged, and the party is appealed to to purge itself of the ele- | ments which have been ‘“dragging it down from its high functions to subscrve private and corrupt ambitions.” The losy of public confidence these frank club men concede to haye been due to past misconduet, and the party is notified that it must reform its ways if it hopes to in- crease its strength and regain power. Improvement in the conduct and meothods of a political party is a fact al- ways to be welcomed, but from our knowledge of the presont character of the democratic party of Ohio, and of the men most influential in its councils, we are not hopeful of any great and perma- nent change for the better. The state convention, which is to eet in Toledo on the 1Sth of Avgust, will of course make the usual fair promises to the people, but i is too much to expect that it will show the courage of the Ohio elub and frankly confess its past fauults and erimes, without which '~ assurances of future good - behavior will have little value. Betore the democratic party of Ohio ean again safoly be trusted with power, ‘it must find other leaders than Mclean and Hoadly, and it seems vroba- ble that 1t wust wait for their suceessors until the growing igeneration of demo- crats can supy them Cruel Tariff Taxation, The current fiscal year of the national government will end on the last day of the present month. The date is so near at hand that a fairly corroct balance be- tween income and outgo can be struck. The result shows an excess of revenue over expenditures of §85,000,000, Tins will ke nearly $22,000,000 more than the surplus revenue of the preceding year, and £15.000,000 above the estimate made by Secretary Manning in his annual re- port of last December. ‘Lhis enormous amount of excess in revenue represents eighty-five millions of excessive rtion paid by the people of the United States, to mantain an oppressive and needlessly high tarift. Its accumulation is the answer given by the democratic party to the demands of the country for tax reduction, and which the platforms of both parties pledged themselves to meet in the prosent congress. At a time when trade is langmishing, industry staggering from overloaded markets, and the pro- ducers suffering from low prices for the products of their farms, the suicidal policy of high tariff taxation isstill main- wined beeause industrial monopolists and a corrupt cordon of protected inter- ests are able to thwart every effort to re- lieve the country of the burden. Eighty- five millions of surplus revenue is a scorching rejoinder to the argument that the revenue requirements of the country demand our present tarifl taxes. A mil- lion unemployed laborers and a half a million industrial millionaires is the an- swer to the ery for continued pap to stal- wart mfant industries. No attempt to befog the issue by raising the bugbear of free trade can conceal the pregnant facts of an enormous treasury surplus, overlonded markets, unemvployed labor and massive fortunes acquired through popular taxation lev in defiance of the needs of the national treasury and the requivements of American industry. Free tr we cannot have. Tarift' reduction will be yet wrung from congress by an indignant and a suffering people in spite of the Sam Randalls and Pig Iron Kelleys, who lead the opposition to lightening the burdens which greed and avarice are piling upon the shoulders of the Ameri- can peopl False Economy. The frequency of accidents on the Union Pacific lately calls for comment and investigation. Perhaps a searching inquiry would bring out in official form facts about the condition of the road-bed and rolling stock which have been mat- ters of pPublic ramor for some timv past. 1t stated on good authority that tho property has been permitted to depre- ciate very seriously under a system of enforced economy. The force of section and track men has been mat lly de- creased and repairs needed for the safety of the patrons and the maintenance of the system have been postponed on account of a depleted treasury. Kcon- omy has been the watchword, but the economy practiced in this particular has proved itself misplaced. The new management find themselves seriously handicapped by the reckless ex- travagance of their predecessors, and the costly mistakes made by the jobbers, who have left the Union Pacific pretty well dismantled in the hands of the pres- ent proprietors, This may be admitted without apologizing for the failure of the men who are now running the road to put it in a proper condition to transact the business which runs over its lines with safety and dispatch. Every other question of dividends and profits and construction should be made sec- ondary and subsidiary to that of maintain- ing a substantial and safe roadway kept in daily repair and supervised and worked by a sufficient force of men. At present the Union Puacific system in Nebraska falls far below the standard. Accidents are the natural consequences of this kind of cconomy, which prove the expensive folly of such retrenchment. m— The Cable Road. Until some cheap, noiseless and reliable motor is put into general use cable roads must be the only means of rapid transit in large cities on lines of heayy passenger travel. Horses and mules cannot main- ain the speed desired for any length of time, and in the winter season tramways and horse cars have often to be aban- doned altogether. Theseare facts whic are now admitted by everybody. In cities like Omaha, where the majority of the population lives on the hill-sides, cable roads become almost indispensable. Their relation to the horse railways is about the same as that of the electric light to gas. They will not do away with horse rail- roads entirely, but they will take their place ou streots that are overcrowded and on grades that are too heavy fo horsetlesh. % The cable road in Omaha is an assured fact. The company has orderea the rails and ballast and every prepartion for ac- tive work has already been made. The only question to settle now is the loca- tion, By natural selection the cable road would go on Farnam street which must always remain the prinecipal thoroughfare east and west. To locate the road elsewhere would be a costly blunder, While it is true that the street is already partially occupicd by the horse railway there is ample room for the cable road alongside. In Chicago and in other citie: the two systems operate side by side with out any inconyenience. Farnam street property owners are nearly aunit in favor of the cable road. Four or five mossbacks are afraid that there will be too much business on Farnam street. If they had ever been on Broad- way in New York they would have seen the busiest street in America obstructed by hundreds of omnibuses, drays and wagons from dawn till sundown and in spite of this din and crush, thousands of ladies shopping in the stores and hun- dreds of elegant carriages edging their way to the curbstones: Later when it was proposed to locate a street railroad on Broadway objection was made that it would ruin the street. The road has been built and travel and traflic ave if anything more brisk on Broadway than they have ever been, ¥or the accommodation of the public the tirst cable road should be built on the Broadway of Omaha, and 1n due time the cuble road system should be extended over the hills wherever it will pay to run it. ‘The roaa should be built only on streets that are brought to - established gride, and when possible on streets that re already.paved. The publie, cannot Ec expected to go four or five blocks out of the way to patronize a street car as long as there is anothor car at their door, —— Taere fsa loud oy for grading but where are the funds fo come from? The assessment totals are a disgrace to the intelligence of the:public. It is safe to assert that the aggregate as returned by assessors does not téprésent a twelfth of the market value of the real estate alone in this city. Personal prosperity has escaped as usual nearly scot free. An ample and steady Yevenue is the busis upon which alone our mynicipal improy- ments can be based. .
