C, November I.- A naval officer here, la talking to a Star reporter concerning tbe reported Cuban filibustering expedition, advanced a cartons theory about how and why those expeditions are organized. He said: 'They never organize tbe expeditions la the summer wbea it la too hot for Christ mas to live in tbat coantry, or at any time wbea naval veesela are apt to be ia dock for repairs. They always take place wbea It Is convenient for assieUuoe to be neat to Key West, New, I'll tell von tbe secret of the whole thing. Those alleged expeditions are la stlgited by the merchants, aad they doa't amoant to anything. The merchants make sabecrlptlons and hire some ragged, worthless fellows to begla drilling at alght la oat of the way places, and to pretend to be plotting la secrecy. The news ia flashed over tbe wires tbat a formidable flilbastering expedition is being prepared and an appeal for aid to crash It la made; Um vessels of the North Atlantic squadroa are sent down for tbat parose, and tbe whole raitter blows over and amounts to nothing. The end ia view baa beea gained, tboaxb. The vessels fremaiB la port ;- for some t me, and a hundred thoasaad dollars or more have been expended by tbe officers la making parchases and In supplying the ship. The flllbaatercrs were ail Imaglnarr. Now, mark what I say: These expeditions are never gotten np at a time when assistance caa not be sent from the navy. The statistics In Um matter will bear me eat In this. 1 am firmly convinced that every one ol these expeditions are orlgnated by tbe rarideat marehaata for their own bene fit." "Thie.tbeorv Is confirmed," continued tbe officer, "by the fact tbat all these fMlba-tering expeditions could be pat a atop to by Um Treasury Department. Tbe collector at the port has all the power aeeesoary, and the revenue marl s-e vessels eauld do much better service than tbe naval vessels, bat they want Um naval vessels, and they generally manage ta have them uselessly seal down.

Tba claim is absurd. There is sUgbt around, if may. for a ela:m that the Ohio MMtdt has any bearing, whatever upon um rreaklent or am Ad mm is ration. The election was about as distinctly a State election, and about as free from anv complication with Na tional Utuea, as any that was ever held in Ohio or elsewhere. The State is Republican and the Republicans carried it. They may have be aroused by probably were to some extent; and to that extent National oonsidurations entered into the oanvaes and affected the result. But nobody will be foolish enough to claim that revived fanaticism ou the sttbteot of Urn Southern vote means approval or disapproval of tbe President, if the southern Kepuu lican does not get his rights at tlie bnl lot-box. as John Stmrmnn so vooiforously and dogmatically declares, it is not due in any sous to the Administrattou now in iower, it it w eitargo able to anv Adiuinwlratioii, it is to Uiat of President Arthur and his Ke publican predecessors: for it was tin der them that all the alloged outrages which grieve the sensitive soul of Sher man occurred. So far as the Republican claimants are concerned, this claim Uiat the Ohio result bears upon President Cleveland is as unimportant tu it is untrue. In the cage of the Democratic claimants it is fortunate the charm is untrue. For if the Democratic defeat in Ohk does mean nuytttinsr special in connection with the Administration it means approval and not rebuke. What ever else niav be said, either for or against the Democratic candidates and leaders, this is true beyond question. They represented unequivocally what there was in tlie Ohio Democracy of op position to the reform principles of Cleveland and his administration. If the Ohio Democracy had proposed any rebuke for the "President Uie effective way to administer it would have been to elect the men who shelved Pendleton for his reform record, not to permit amir defeat. imrott Fret ire. A RULE TO BE ENFORCED. reerrtary Kntllentt Irmntta the D4eet pllae t Mis Branca of ttae Brvtee. The refusal of Secretary Endioott to modify his order returning army officers to their regiments after four years absence on detached or staff duty shows that he is a man who, when he makes up his mind, does not change his deter mination for light or trivial reasons. It is difficult to understand why Generals Sheridan, Schotiehl, Pope and Howard should be permitted to select a few favorites out of the army and keep them as akis for a long term ot years, to the manifest injury of Uie service, and it was scarcely the proper thing for them to ask such a favor. The training which stall' duty gives is act of the kind that makes the best soldiers. Men so employed for a long time become to a certain extent de pendent upon their commanders and do not get the discipline which can only come iroiu tae semi-inuepenuenc com mand with their own resriments. lnev naturally lose that confidence in them selves whiou is so much to be desired in the soldier when the time comes for hard actual service. In that day the officers who have given many years to staff duties as Uie favorites of some superior must sUH trust to their chief rather than to their own merit for promotion. With a new system of frequent changes a larger number of officers will get a general training in their profession thaa has been possible under Um favoritism Uiat has prevailed for many years. But Uie roost promising thing about Secretary Endicott's action is the indication that be means what he says and that what be promises he will perform. Everything considered, the prospect is good that tbe organization, the discipline and the esprit of tbe army are to be promoted under the present Administration more thoroughly than for many years. Tha First Step Taken The nomination of Foraker meant the putting ef Sherman oa the track for the Senate, aad hi candidacy for the Freei denoy in 1888. It would seem that Sherman has succeeded in his initial effort, and tbat now he Is on the march to Uie White House by the United States Senate chamber. The distance, how ever, from tlie starting point, ia a long and devious one, and imneded by many very formidable obstacles; it is hun dreds to one that he will never acoom alish it It is a sunposable oase that ovcry Re publican in Ohio hi an aspirant for iTesiuential honors, and there are ex eel lent reasons for believing that each has a better claim to tne puce tnaa Sherman. His ambition is based on sheer "ehaek' and audacity. He is one ef the smallest of the "statesmen" prodtmea ny tne crisis of tne war; he m cold-blooded as a snake, insufferably vain aad selfish, and has not a personal friend in existence. As a Presidential candidate it is doubtful if be could Carry his own State. Chicago Time. m Mr. Whittier is made the object of special honor in a new lioliday book from the Ilirerskle press.

They wanted to make political capital for the Republican party, aad did not care how many lias they told about the South so long m they made vote. They carry to-day tha sama stock in trade as they dhl twenty years ago, but while they wade convents then, they lose their own voters now. It is, however, just as criminal now as itwa then to apeal to feelings and passions growing out of a sectional war. After a four Years' contest lmtweaa the North and South, in which the feeling of bull sides wern wrought up to the highest pitch, nothing oould restore good feeling between the sections exeopt time and association. The restoration has oome, end no efforts of sectional and malicious politicians can set it hack. The South and North are united again as they never have been. The material interests of both sections are interwoven and coiutuinglvd o that they cau never again be separated. Northern and Southern capitalists are jointly concerned in enterprises of importance all over thu South. There is scarcely a railroad in nil that country iu which Northern men have not acquired tin interest, and all the nsw liues in the lat ten years have been built, more or less, generally more, with Northern money. In every Statu from here to Texas Northern and Southern men together are uot only building railroads, but digging canal, developing coal initios, erecting eotum-mllls. bringing timbot to market and engaging in all sorts of enterprise likuly to benefit the Statr and advance their own fortunes. To all these men their reaching out after business shows them to be leaders of thought and action in their several localities the solemn antics of Sherman and Hoar are worse than nauseating. No matter what their politics may be, they realize what persistent enemies of their common country these reckless agitators are. There is no more likeiihpotl of tho success of the political schemes of Uiee bloodr-shirt raisers now than there was of the instantaneous assumption, twenty years ago, of the thorough good ieeling and harmonious relations which now so generally prevail in ever' section of our common country. People want no more sectionalism, and no party will ever win anoUier fight on such a worn-out, pre ad a mite an I antediluvian issue. Washington l'otl OHIO A NOVEMBER STATE. An Kffert te Xke the State nnd I'rrleHtlHl CMmpalg-M "Short, Sharp ami DeeMre." . A visitation of sterling sense hat finally come upon the Ohkmns who, having previously rejected suoh aa amendment, now prononnce for so changing the State Constitution as to hold elections m November instead of October. In Presidential years factitious importance will no longer be given to the election in Ohio, which will be ou a plane with other States, and an end will be put to tlie .scandals attending the conduct of campaigns there. What materially Ohio will lose by the change will be more than compensated morally'. A more important change U likely to follow. For many years the popular sentiment has been growing that Presidential campaigns, commencing too early, absorb aitofther too ranch attention, to the great detriment of business interests, which dread a Presidential a; almost certainly a dull year. The practice of early campaigns is a survival of tlie era when there were no railroads or telegraphs, and tlie tramsmission of info.'ination was necessarily slow. The nominating conventions used to be held in Mar. They have been held as late as July. But all ef forts to induce their postponement until September, which would give abundant time for every needful campaign, lias beea rendered f utile upon the le prevention that the Ohio election in October would be too near at hand. This objection removed, there now seems no reason why, commenoingVith 1888, the era of short Presidential campaigns should aot be entered upon. Chkaqo A Rational Explanation. Attention is called by the New York Shh to the singular truth that under the operation of the Civil-Service reform system ordinary elerks are required to prove their fitness by massing rigid examinations, whereas the autocratic Commissioners who have oharge of the whole matter are chosen without any test whatever, and according to the personal preference of tlto man im tlie White House. The explanation probably lies in the fact that wImmi tlie system was established the contingency of a Democratic National victory was not considered, and tlie law-makers supposed that tlie appointment of tlie Commissioners would always be im the hands of a Republican President 8L Lenin Globe-DemocrtiL Sectionalism Rebuked The Ohio election being oyer, and the bloody shirt retired for tlie time being, the Republican press ean a fiord to admit to their columns the following patriotic sentiment from the Memphis Jp pmtU The South needs the North, but no more than the North needs the South. We neetl eaeh other. The verdict of the war was Uiat the Union was Indissoluble, thttt we werfe destine! Ui live togetiier; ami the Southern people would not change that venltot It they enuld. Such utterances as this are by no means rare in Southern papers, and that they represent the feelings and sentiment of the great majority of the people of that seotlon is conoeded by all nut the most extreme Republican partisans. liHjJ'ttk Timte.

Nothing in the world presents a better picture of perfect happiness than a pompier sitting in the sun wiUi an amiable bonne beside him, unless it ba the French baby who Untie himself free to devour his toes unmolested.

The annual loss of gold by attrition, shipwreck, fires, etc., is very small, not quite two tons, or 280,000. A coord in g to Jevons, gold coin loses two per cent in one hundred years that is, 140,000 per annum on Um actual amount, 736, 000,000. The loss hy shipwreck cam not possibly be higher than one-sixth of the ratio of lose im sea borne merchandisesay 2 for every 1,000 shipped, and as the quantity of sea borne gold in 1871-80 averaged '(,- 400,00',? per annum, the loss by shipwreck would be 101,000. If we allow 3L000 for Joss by tires, we make up a total wear and tear of 280,000 or two tons, the existing stock being a trifle under 11,000 tons. McCulloch used to reckon for jewelers, loss, wear and tear, etc., about f per cent, which would be nearly 4,000,000 a year of our present stock. Contemporary Jfvhw.
