The Ororcrowtlcil
The naval cstaMlshtnmt of the United
States , as at present constituted , is not r
branch of the public service reference tc
which is calculated to enhance the pride
and patriotism of the overage American
citizen. Unquestionably the history ol
the American navy Is a glorious record ol
splendid gallantry and bravo achievement
mont , of which every American is justl5
proud , and this service htis supplied tc
the list of great heroes names that will
bo illustrious through all tlmo. But it is
quite impossible to regard the present SO'
called tiavy of the country without r
feeling of humiliation , unless one 1 ?
wholly indifferent as to whether or nol
the nation has a navy. As a matter ol
fact there is a good deal of Indill'croncc
in the matter , and until something shall
arise to demand a navy this feeling is
more likely to increase than to diminish
Wo may fondly hope that no sticl
demand will come , but it is r
question more or less serious
whether the country should not antlct
pate the possibility by such adequate
preparation as would assure a degree ol
security and perhaps also have the cflccl
of averting danger.
Meanwhile the government has per
force gone on creating candidates fet
positions in tlio naval establishment
until it has boon found impracticable tc
provide for them. In 1832 the congress
passed an act designed to remedy this
dillictilty by providing for the discharge
of surplus nnval graduates. In applica
tion this measure was made retroactive ,
with tlio consequence of depriving more
than a hundred aspirants to nuval honors
of the object of their altogether worthy
ambition. These unfortunates are now
clamoring at the portals of congress to
bo restored to their alleged rights , and a
bill for this purpose has received con
federation in the senate. In the discus
sion a good deal was said on boll ,
sides relative to the assumed
injustice of the act of 1883 , but wo arc
chiefly interested in some of the facts
which the discussion elicited. It appears
from the unchallenged statement of one
f-cuator that there are already throe hun
dred olllccrs in the navy for whom there
is practically no use , and the- annual cnsl
to the nation of maintaining tltc.so little-
employed gentlemen is probably quite
half a million dollars. It is a somewhat
impressive fact that since the war $383-
000,000 have been expended for naval
purposes , and a fair appraisal of the entire -
tire assets of the naval establishment
to-day would probably not give a valua
tion much in excess of ten per cent , oi
the above amount. A very largo part oi
this lias gone to the hundreds of ollicers
who in that time have rendered little erne
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 ol
candidates.
It can bo of no present importance
to in.quiro where belongs the re
sponsibility for this condition of ajlairs ,
but the obvious alternatives are that
cither the creation of candidates for
naval officers must bo greatly curtailed
or provisions should bo made for their
employment by enlarging the naval es
tablishment. It would probably not bo
unwise to give the educational mill at
Annapolis a rest of a few years.
In a Pitiable Plight.
Tlio democratic party of Ohio is in a
pitiable condition. For several years past
it lias been going from bad to worse ,
reaching the climax of its unscrupulous
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 tlio
inferior courts and use the supreme court
in order that it might got 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 , nnd only
cuiringtho worst period of the Tweed
regime shall wo find a parallel to it. The
salient facts of this history are all fa
miliar to the reader of political events.
The corrupt coal oil legislature which
elected a United States'senator whoso
right to his seat the senate has been asked
to investigate on the ground that
it was obtained by corrupt means ,
the degradation of tlm mipicmo court by
using it for partisan 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 tlio ma
chinery of the government all those
facts every reader of current history is
tanuliar with. For tlio good name of
Ohio , it would bo well if the record could
bn obliterated.
The parly having gene to the extrem
ity of political wickedness under its lute
loaders , and those leaders having appar
ently , tor the time being at least , ex
hausted their resources for mischief , there
is sonic promise that the better elements ,
which have been overawed by the rubble ,
will assort themselves and endeavor to
lead the party back into htraightor paths
and the practice of less dishonorable
methods. The Ohio club , a dem
ocratic organization in Cincinnati ,
lias just issued a manifesto
to the party , in which , with most commendable
mondablo candor , the frauds committed
in democratic wards of Cincinnati last
October is acknowledged , and the party
is appealed to to purge itself of the ole-
mouts which have been "dragging it
down from its high functions to bubsorvo
private nnd corrupt ambitions. " The
loss of public confidence those frank club
uuiii concede to liayo been due to past
misconduct , and tlio party is notified that
it must reform its ways if it hopes to in
crease its strength ami regain power.
Improvement in the conduct and
methods of n political party is a fact al
ways to be welcomed , but from our
knowledge of tlio present character of
the democratic party of Ohio , nnd of tlio
men mostjulhicntial in its councils , wo
are not ho'peful of any great and perma
nent change for the better. The state
convention , which is to meet in
Toledo on the 18th of August ,
will of course make the usual fair
promises to the people , but it is
too much to expect that it will fchov ; the
courage -of the Ohio olub and
frankly confes.-i its -past faults and
crimes , without which assurances
of future gopd behavior" will have
little-value , Jtctoro the democratic party
of'Ohio can nguiu tafoly bo trusted with
power , it must find oilierIcattewthan
McLean anrt Hoadly , and it scorns uroba-
bio Unit U must wait for their successors
until the growing generation of demo
crats can supply them.
Cruel TnrlfrTnTiUlon.
The current , fiscal year of tlio national
government will end on the last day of
the present month. The date is so near
at hand that a fairly correct balance be
tween income and outgo can bo struck.
The result suows an excess of revenue
over expenditures of $8.,000,000. Tins
will Lo nearly $22,000,000 , more than the
surplus revenue of the preceding year ,
nnd $15.000,000 above the estimate made
by Secretary Manning in his annual report -
port of last December , 'lino enormous
amount of excess in roremto represents
eighty-live millions of excessive
taxation paid by tlio people of the United
States , to maintain nn oppressive and
needlessly high tariff. Its accumulation
is tlio nnswcr 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 present congress. At a time when
trade is languishing , industry staggering
from overloaded markets , nnd tlio pro
ducers suU'erinirfroln low prices for tlio
products of their farms , the suicidal
policy of high tariff taxation is still main
tained because industrial monopolists
and a corrupt cordon of protected inter
ests are nblo to thwart every effort to relieve
lievo the country of the burden. Eighty *
five millions of surplus revenue is a
scorching rejoinder to tlio argument that
the revenue requirements of the country
demand our present tariff taxes. A mil
lion unemployed laborers and : v half a
million industrial millionaires is tile an
swer to the cry for continued pap to stal
wart infant Industries. No attempt to
befog the issue by raising the bugbear of
free trade can conceal the pregnant faetsi
of an enormous ) treasury surplus ,
overloaded markets , uncniDloycd labor
and mabsive fortunes acquired through
popular taxation levied in defiance of the
needs of the national treasury and the
requirements of American industry. Free
trade wo cannot have. Tariff reduction
will be yet wrung from congress by an
indignant and a sufferinc ; people in spite
of tlio Sam Randalls and Pig Iron Kelloys ,
who lead the opposition to lightening tlio
burdens which greed and avarice are
piling upon the shoulders of the Ameri
can people.
Fnlso 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 tlio condition of the road-bed
and rolling stock which have been mat
ters of public rumor for some timti past.
It is stated on good authority that the
property has been permitted to depre
ciate very seriously under a system of
enforced economy. The force of section
and track men has been materially 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. Econ
omy has been the watchword , but the
economy practiced in this particular lias
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 bo 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 bo made sec
ondary and subsidiary to that of maintain
ing rv substantial and safe roadway kept
in daily repair and supervised and worked
by a sufficient force of mon. At present
the Union Pacific system in Nebraska
falls far below tlie standard. Accidents
arc the natural consequences of this kind
of economy , which prove the expensive
folly of such retrenchment.
The Cable Itond.
Until some cheap , noiseless nnd reliable
motor is put into general use cable roads
must bo tlio only means of rapid transit
in large cities on lines of heavy passenger
travel. Horses and mules cannot main
tain the speed desired for any length of
tlmo , and in the winter season tramways
and horse cars have often to bo aban
doned altogether. These are facts which
are now admitted by everybody. In cities
like Omaha , where the majority of the
population lives on the hill-sides , eablo
roads become almost indispensable. Their
relation to the horse railways is about tlio
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 on streets that are overcrowded
and on grades that are too heavy for
horseflesh.
The cable road in Omaha is an assured
fnct. The company has ordered the rails
and ballast and every proportion for ac
tive work has already been nmdo. The
only question to settle now is tlio loca
tion. By natural selection the cable
road would go on Fnrnani street which
must always remain the principal
thoroughfare east and west. To locate
the road elsewhere would bo a costly
blunder.Vhilo it is true that the street
is already partially occupied by the
horse railway there is ample room for
the cable road alongside. In Chicago
and in other cities tlio two
systems operate side by side with
out any inconvenience. Farnam
street property owners nro nearly
a unit in favor of tlio cable road. Four
or five mossbncks are afraid that there
will be too much business on Farnttm
street , if they had ever been on liroad-
wayinNow York they would have scon
tlm busiest street in America obstructed
by hundreds of omnibuses , drays and
wagons from dawn till sundown and in
spite of this din nnd crush , thousands of
ladies shopping in the stores nnd hun
dreds of elegant carriages edging then-
way to the curbstones. * Later when it
was proposed to locate a street railroad
on Uroadwar objection was made that it
would ruin the street. The road has
been built anil travel and traflio uro if
anything more brisk on Broadway than
they have ever been.
For the accommodation of the public
tlio lirit cable road should be built on the
Hroadwny of Omaha , and in duo time the
cable' road system should bo extended
oyer the liills wherever it will pay to run
it. The roart should bo built only on
fciteeU that arc brought to established
gradOj nud when.possible on streets that
nro already , paved. The public , cannot
bo .expected to gcr fotir or five blocks out
of the way to patronize n street car ni
long as there is another car at their door

MISS FOUSOM'S PICTURE.

Brooklyn Englo : The history of hoi
the only authentic portrait of tlio pros ;
dent's bride wns souurod for publicatioi
has never been told , and just nt the pros
cut time is of no little interest. Aboti
the time President-elect Cleveland begin
packing ; up lijs bachelor Imps prepara
lory to removing to the white house , :
rumor got started that President Cleveland
land had wearied of single blessedness am
was about to take a wife. At that Unit
every inlluential paper in the country
had a eorresnowlont stationed nt Albany
who..o sole dut.v was to dog the steps o.
the lucky BiiHalouiun nnd detail hot am :
smoking lor the next morning's issnt
every movement. Dan Lament was
striken with walking nightmare anil
imagined ho saw reporters ambiihsed ir
every shallow. At his suggestion the
president-elect put himself' under the
care of a couple of dectectives , who ao
conipanied him wherever ho went and
kept the reporters nt n safe distance ,
When the rumor that a lady woulel ligun
in so pleasing a relation was started , the
correspondents literally tumbled over
each other in their anxiety to gut hold ol
the facts , and abos'o nil , to secure the
photograph of the prospective bride ,
Miss Van Vechtcn , Miss Pruin , Miss
Cornell and a score of leading society
ladies were interrogated in vain. The }
wore as ignorant as the press of the
identity of Mr. Cleveland's atlinuccd.
In turn every prominent singer in the
capital was inspected of being the one ,
At length a newspaper man hit upon tht
expedient of pumping the maid servants ,
The chambermaid proved to be good
looking and talkative , nnd it wns through
this young lady's ' propensity to gossip
that not onlrMi&s 1-olsom was discovered
but the exact date and hour of the presi
dent's departure from Washington ami
the route he proposed taking ( which
were jealously guarded ) wore ascertained.
The maid admitted that Miss Cleveland
and n young lady named Frankie Folsom -
som , of Nundnvcro verv sisrcrly , anil
assorted that Mr. Cleveland whiio gover
nor hail several times made trips intc the
country to visit her. She also hinted
that the ladies , monnin < * ; Miss Cleveland
and lira. Folsom and her daughter had
within n week visitoel a loading Albany
photographer and had their counterfeits
taken and loft strict injunctions that no
ouc should bo permitted to copy them or
even to look at thorn.
The hint proved sufllcicnt. The two
newspaper mon in the plot managed to
get hold of Dan Lament and suddenly
put the question to him abruptly. Dan
got mnd ( an unusual thing for him ) and
informed the newspaper men so crustily
that the future bride of Mr. Cleveland , if
he contemplated taking one , was a con
cern of his own and of nobody else , that
limy wore convinced that they wore on
tho' right track. Next eivery photographer -
graphor in town was visited , anil n large
establishment , dealing with the > best pe0- !
plo , was naturally suspected of being the
place patronized by Miss Folsom. But
the proprietor was obdurate ; so a ruse
was resorted to. Ladies tire known fre
quently to sit for their portraits , order a
certain number sent homo , and let the
bill run until presented. A reporter who
was not known to the photographer was
impressed into service. Ho stopped into
the gallery , walked up to the pretty
young lady who kept the books , and said i
* 'l will pay Miss Folsom's bill if you have
U rendy. " The bookkeeper turned to
the ledger nnd then said : "Oh , the last
lot were paid for , but Hit' new lot are
donu. Will you take thorny"
The grave young man said ho believed
ho would tnko n couple back with him ,
and that Miss Frankie could instruct him
what to do. The ufFablo young lady
obligingly placed two photographs of
Mis Folsom in an envelope ami handed
thorn to the newspaper man. who could
hardly forbear giving n wnoop of Je > y
upon gaining possession of the treasures.
Needless to say two newspapers simul
taneously produced portraitB of Miss
Folsom , to the horror oi that nmlnblei
young woman nnd her accomplished
mother. Dan Lament almost fainted ,
iintl General Fnnuworth is nnid to hnvo
sworn n terrible military oath that ho
would Hlay the buso traitor .vho published
the. portrait. Hut Im gpiirotl him.
The POI trait is the only authentic onn
[ ) f Miss Folsom. U represents her sitting ,
iidefnco , with thu hair cut in a flowing
liang nnd drawn up in the back high upon
th head nnd secured in a wavy roll. She
ivnars a white linen collar of n peculiar
