Ss of Trade and Transportation, has introduced as an emendment | to the pending Rivers and Harbors bill a bill drafted by the . Beard providing for the widening of the channel below Governor's | Toland to a full width of 2,000 feet of deep water east of the anchorage | | The importance of the measure in manifest from the fact that | fwithin a single week recently no less than four vessels got fast in tho @rrd in attempting the passage of the channel at that point. Under bertain conditions of wind and tide, vensels lying at anchor there @wing ecross tho main channel and leave only # few hundred feet tf deep water for the passage of incoming or outgoing ships. If! Qnchored further west, there is danger that the vessela themselvos will swing on to the Jersey flats. | The issue is one of pressing need, and now that it i# before Con- ress, carnest efforts should be made in all influential quarters to the passage of the amendment. The entrance to our harbor ould be not only an open door but a safe one for shins of all sizes at all times. —_—_———$o— | | AFTER DINNER ORATORY AS A STUDY. | U™ the purpose of the authorities of the Naval Academy to train cadets in the practice of extempore speaking on after- dinner occasions there will be much light and agreeable satire forthcoming. Post-prandial eloquence is often admired, some times envied, but never respected. Those that havo the gift generally make it a jest, and those that haven’t it nearly always make it a bore. Nevertheless, it is an essontial part of education and should be made | compulsory in every college in the land. In its last:analysis oratory of all kinds is a means by which a) _man makes known to a large company something he wishes them to know, or something they wish to learn from ‘him. It is no less than a trained facility of expressing knowledge or thought, and therefore 49 eomething every man ehould acquire as a part of @ liberal educa- tion. It is of very little profit to a man that mingles with his fellow men to know much if he cannot make the knowledge known. Lord Bacon, indeed, maintained that no man has a right to his thought until he has shared it with others. To learn to write fluently and correctly and to speak easily and entertainingly, these are surely things that should be taught as parts of every system of education. ———_—_<4=- : WOMAN ON THE WARPATH.
