. Announcement Is made that the French
gqvernment has been so very much pleased
by the performance of the United States
Cruiser Columbia In her speedy trans-At
lantic voyage that there have been ordered
ta additions to the French navy two cruis
ers which shall as nearly as possible be
duplicates of the famous "Pirate." Imita
tion being the sincerest form of flattery,
the compliment to American designers and
American shipbuilders is one worth having.
But the French admiralty would do well
to bear in mind the fact that people do
sot always get what they order. and gen
erally because those of whom the product
is demanded are not possessed of the skill
necessary to the proper production. The
logic of this therefore is that if France
really wants well-built and surprisingly
swift cruisers, the order should be placed in
the United States. British, French and
German shipbuilders have many times ex
erted themselves to do extraordinarily well,
but none of them has ever approached the
record made by skilled Americans. In the
Quality of material employed our warships
are very much superior to any others
aoat, while the finish given their every
detail, even to the most minute, is beyond
Compare; Vice Admiral Sir John Hopkins
of the British navy has testified that our
guns are marvelously perfect; and now the
record established by the Columbia--!.dded
to the record made by that same cruiser
mn her trial trip-makes certain our su
premacy in the important essentials of en
gines and boilers. It Is .n the latter re
spects-that France has been weak, some of
the ships from which much in -the way of
speed was expected having turned out to be
Conspicuous failures. Of course the Prer.ch
people would be inclined to find fault with
an administration which wo'id even per
mit American shipbuilders to bid for con
tracts on French war :essels, but it is
nevertheless certain that If France wants
the two new cruisers to be as good as their
prototype she had better let an American
Srm do the constructing.
The local merchants who used the side
walks and who were accused of illegally
gecupying and obstructing public property
were not permitted the privilege of sus
pending the law until they could apply to
the next Congress for the law's repeal or
amendment. Why should the Eckington
railway, now illegally occupying and ob
structing the public streets with trolley
poles, be granted this privilege? No one of
the merchants against whom the law was
enforced had the assurance to claim that
the law should be suspended because
through mismanagement, lack of fore
thought and of desire and preparation to
obey the law he had no money on hand to
provide a place for the goods illegally dis
played on the sidewalk. Why should the
ickington railway be permitted to nullify
the law on any such plea? Can the railway
take advantage of its, own wrong and gain
the privilege of defying the law indpfinitely
merely by refraining from preparing to
obey the law during the several years
which were granted to it for this purpose?
'he Commisaoners and the courts did not
Consider that it was any of their business
to see that the merchants had comfortable
and -convenient accommodations for their
goods and customers within the legal limits
Of their stores. Is It any business of the
courts and Commissioners what legal
method of running its line the Eckington
railway shall adopt as a substitute for that
which the law prohibits? In all such cases
the authorities say to trespassers: "Cease
to disobey the law! Remove your illegal
obstructions! It Is not our business to tell
you what legal method of conducting your
business you shall adopt, but only to en
force the law, and to prevent you from
acting illegally."
"Who 'shall decide when doctors disa
gree?" is a question that has never been
satisfactorily answered, but in a little
while we shall know whether the Philadel
phia-Inquirer of Wednesday or the Philadel
phia Press of yesterday has the correct idea
as to the outcome of the very exciting
campaign proceeding at this time in Penn
sylvania. In a conspicuous headline the
Inquirer says "Quay's Fight Now Won."
In headines quite as conspicuous as that of
the Inquirer, the Philadelphia Press says
"Quay Cannot Possibly Win." The Inquirer
believes in Quay; the Press does not. It
may be that the situation is so mixed up
that diametrically opposed deductions are
honestly possible, but the chances are that
Intense partisanship rather than calm judg
Maent dictated at least oue of the headlines
ta question.
With the certainty of a partially reor
ganixed Senate before him, President
Cleveland may again nominate Wheeler
I. Peckham or William B. Hornblower to
311 the Supreme Court vacancy. Senator
Mill will probably object to confirmation.
but then Senator Hill will be less influi
ential in the next Congress than he was In
the last.
The wisdom of adopting the most ad
vanced Ideas wherever practicable Is shown
by the fact that while the cable roads and
underground systems are going ahead
peaceably and maaking money, the over
head system is fighting for its existence In
almost eveiy community where It has bee.a
employed.
News from China makes It evident to
those who are watching the rapidly-chang
log conditions in that demoralized coun
try that England and the United States
should at once take concerted action as
to the villainous conduct of Chinese to
ward English and American missionaries.
Three things are essential: Protection for
the missiornaries still at stations remote
from the treaty ports; the punishment of
the murderers and robbers who have al
ready done so much mischief; and satisfac
tory assurances, solidly supported, that the
Eives and property of missionaries will here
after be safe from organized Chinese as
sault. It may be that severity of treat
ment will be needed, for all the informna
tion we have makes It certain that Chinese
troops cannot be depended upon to do any
thing toward righting the wrongs which
the missionaries have recently Suffered.
There were a thousand ChInese soldiers
at Ku Cheng and when they were sent out
for the avowed purpose of putting a stop
to the misconduct of a powerful body of
iioters they drov;e the mob away and then
looted the mission houses themselves. That
Great Britain has no confidence in Chinese
Loops Is indIcated by the fact that the
Itish consul at Foo Chow-who Is to In
vestigate Into the riots--has declined a
Chinesc escort and will depend for pro
tection upon two hundred Sikh troopers
yho have been ordered from the Blritish
garrison at Hoeng Kcng for that duty. But
thie United States should not permit Great
tigation should be jointly made by repre
sentatives of the two countries and then,
if there is semblance of necessity, we
should unite forces with Great Britain and
inflict .the punishment. Let It be under
stood at the outset that the Chinese gov
ernmezft is not to be depended upon. Chi
neese diplomacy has always consisted
mainly of falsehood rind evasion, and in
the present instance-when there is abso
lutely no Chinese sympathy with Christian
missionary effort-the insistence of the two
powers most concerned should be particu
larly emphatic. Thirty years ago King
Theodore of Abyssinia oppressed English
missionaries, and it is a matter of history
that Great Britain spent about forty-five
millions of dollars In forcibly bringing
about the release of the prisoners and in
compassing the savage monarch's down
fall and death. We are bound by all that
is sacred to defend the personally-helpless
of our number whose lives are pledged to
the moral, physical and spiritual better
ment of others, no matter where their
temporary place of residence may be. If
we forsake them or are careless as to the
treatment accorded them, we lack true
courage and are not worthy the name of
Americans. We ere devoting much at
tention to purely material matters, but it
would be unfairness to even Imagine that
patriotism and manhood have degenerated
to such an extent that we will confine our
selves to carefully-worded protests when
those who are of our-own flesh and blood
and who never injured human being are
hunted from place to place like wild beasts,
with the knowledge and tacit consent of
the Chinese authorities.
New York yesterday had an experience
somewhat similar to that suffered by
Washington when the old Ford's Theater
building collapsed. The number of lives
sacrificed in the weak structure which
tumbled down yesterday was not as great
asw that on the theater death roll, but for
this fact those whose carelessness is re
sponsible are not entitled to any credit.
Whether the a1wful occurrerce was the re
sult of defective material, or of overload
ing of the floors with building material,
cannot be established until the building de
partment has made thcrugh investigation.
One feature of the affair will strike most
people favorably. The police at once came
to the cancluricn that the building had
collapsed because somebody failed to do
what ought to have been done; the con
tractor ar d his superintendent were at
once arrested, and there was ample excuse
for that promptness in the probability
that those who were putting up the build
ing were undoubtedly responsible for what
happened. When the ruins have been com
pletely searched a corcrer's jury will play
its part and then the courts will be called
upon to discourage flimsy construction. It
might reascnaoly have been supposed that
.the severe treatment properly accorded one
Buddensie:k-a -nsistently-crimninal build
er-would lave rendered unlikely the tak
ing of such risks as were evidently taken
in the putting up of the eight-story build
ing at West Broadway and West Third
street, from the remains of which the
bodies of victims are still being removed,
but human greed is conscienceless and for
getful.

Nobody yearns for street-car horses on
New York avenue. The blame for them if
they appear there will attach entirely to
the Eckington railway, which, instead of
defying the law, should now have running
some one of the legal mechanical motors.
The law decrees that the trolley must go,
and a legal motor must be employed, even
if, owing to the inaction of the railway, It
is the antiquated car-horse. So far, how
ever, as patrons of the road are concerned
there seems to be general agreement that
they will not be inconvenienced by the
temporary substitution of a continuous
horre-car. line inside Boundary for the pres
cnt patchwork of trolley and horse-car,
with its transfers, delays and exposure at
transfer points.
Associate Justice Jackson had 'no opper
tunity to distinguish himself as a member
of the Supreme Court of the United States.
His death deprives the country of the ser
vices of one who- diromised to be a valu
able addition to the-most eminent of our
judicial bodies.
- If the prospect of antagonism in Mary
land politics is going to keep Senator Gor
man from going abroad, it is probable th t
Europe will get along without him for
some time to ccme.
It Is to be noted that the New York
humorists no longer allude patronizingly to
Theodore Roosevelt as "Teddy." He is
new recognized as a full grown reformer.
Herbert Spencer in refusing to accept
rnpty honors from royalty emphasizes the
fact that ho is a scientist and not a mer
cantile scheme r. .
The New York authorities seem ambitious
to enjoy the excitement of capturing each
criminal at least twice for the same of
fense.

Deliberate progress toward completion of
the city post-office building was made today

Senator Quay has a way of giving his op
ponents a little encouragement at the out
set and requiring them to be content with
that.

On highway and on byway;
There's hut one way to run this earth,
And that, of course, is "my way."

"How has Bluffton been doing?" asked
the man who had been away from his
native community for some time.
"Well, he has made a great deal of
mcney"
"Getting along well. Is he?"
'Well, be seemed to get along first rate
till he tried to pass some of it."
TIhe Difference.
He made a machine which the whole world
employed,
But his wits Into cash he can't turn.
Another invented a new jumping jack,
And this one has money to burn.

"Excuse me," said .the detective, as he
presented himself at the door of the music
conservatory. "but I hope you'll give me
what information you have and not make
any fuss."
"What do you mean?" was the indignant
inquiry.
"Why, that little affair, you know."
"I don't understand."
"Why, you see, we got a tip from the
hoarding house next door that somebody
here has been murdering Wagner, and the
boss sent me down to work up the case."
Vengeance.
"Who Is that sour-looking man who .Is
always sitting on that stove-box doing
nothing?" asked the drummer.
"He's the man that knows all about how
ter settle every trouble thet the country
gits inter," replied the native with an ad
miring glance.
"But why doesn't he get up and hustle,
then?"
"He's mad." was the awestricken whis
per. "He's told Congress and the President
and everybody how to do things and they
didn't pay no 'tention to 'tin, an' now he's
