EDITORIAL NOTES.
A member of the American party
was silenced recently by being told
that Americans bad not even en
terprise enough to discover their
own country, but it bad to be done
by an Italian under Spanish
patronage.
Thursday, May 30, is Decoration
Day, and it will be appropriately
obseryed in this city. The beauti
ful cermonies of that day are but a
fitting tribute to the memory of
those who died in the service of
their country.
A Tennessee Judge has been
impeached for serving as second in
a duel. This serves to show the
great change in public sentiment
on the subject of dueling. Time
was a Judge would have been worse
than impeached for declining a
challenge or refusing to carry
another gentleman's challenge.
Seven colored students of the
Atlanta University, expelled for
violation of rules, have brought
suit against the trustees for $70,000
damages. The institution is for
colored students exclusively, and
the professor who is blamed for the
affair is a colored man from New
England. ' Last Friday was a day of keen
competition in the New York stock
exchange between the Northern
Pacific, tkrough Villard, and the
Union Pacific, through Elijah
Smith, to gain control of the Ore
gon Transcontimental company a
kind of credit raobelier and
through this the O. K. & N, com
pany. The question is, whether
or not the best interests of the
public will be observed by the
success of either party in this fight.
The celebration of the coming
Fourth of July in Albany will be
attended by the biggest throng
ever in the city. There should te
no half wav preparations by the
various committees. The attrac-!
of the day should be on a scale)
calculated to reflect credit upon j
Albany's enterprise and thrift, and j
at the same time please and satisfy j
those from abroad, who will expect ;
good things of this city on t hat j
day. j
Corporal Tanner, commissioner .
of jKJnsions it is aid is considering !
the advisability of adding an en-!
tirely new division to his office. At i
the present time claims of soldiers
go to different examiners, accord
ins to the state to which the soldier
m-aa osuianwl uliAn Iia fiirfrorl tl ft
service of the government. It has
been the custom of all examiners !
to hasten what are called original
cases, at the expense of applicants
for an increase of pension. The
result is, that while the original
cases are well up, the claims for an
increase are far behind. Commis
sioner Tanner proposes to have
one division in his oflice devoted
entirely to increase claims, noj
matter what may have been the j
original residence of the soldier
applicant. It is believed that this
course will have a decided effect in
hastening to tinal action cases
which have been delayed in some
instances for as long as three or
four years.
The Evening Telegram says that
an ugly rumor is in circulation in
connection with the sinking of the
steamer Alaskan, to the effect that
her bottom was honeycombed. A
man who worked on the steamer
when she was on the dry dock in
San Francisco in 1884 declares that
her steel bottom was honeycombed
with holes, some as large as a
man's ear, and from one-eighth to
three-quarters of an inch in depth.
He says tlie expense of properly
tilling these holes with cement was
too great, so they were rilled with
paint, which would soon wash out
by the action of the sand in cross- ;
ing the bar. Thus it is intimated ;
that the ovners knew of the
Alaskan's unsafe condition, and
thev will be called upon for an ex
planation. It is gratifying to state ;
that one boat load of her crew,
who were supposed to have been
drowned, have safely landed aLthe
mouth of the Siuslaw near Capo
TWrvotn. In this Doat were
twelve men. leaving but twenty
three missing."" "It is now hoped all
will be rescued.
OIL UPON THE WATERS.
For the past few years the atten
tion of mariners has been called to
the fact that oil will still the waves
of trie ocean, and the number of
experiments made by captains of
steamers and other craft has been
two hundred and twenty-five.
These have been reported in the
'Pilot Charts" of the Navy Depart
ment. When the wind blows, the
crest of the wave becomes more
and more perpendicular until it is
thrown forward in great force, and
when it comes in contact with a
ship, it beats upon her with terrific
violence, filling her deck and
sweeping away everything upon it.
By using oil there is spread over
the face, of the troubled waters a
thin coaling, like a blanket, which
arrests combing, and a vessel rides
over long swells in safety. The
sinking of the Alaskan and the
loss of most of her crew, naturally
awakens in all minds a desire for
the prevention of such disasters in
t.e future. If by usirg one gallon
of oil per hour the amount ' re
ported will prevent the sinking of
steamers two times out of ten, it is
of enough importance for the gov
ernment to compel its use by every
owner of passenger boats, at least.
