The Torpedo Trials.

The experiments made at Newport in pres
ence of the Senate Naval Committee give
reason to hope that the difficulty of convert
ing the torpedo into weapon Of offence has
been practically overcome. The Importance
of this result is scarcely affected by the mper-
fections that may exist in the present torpedo
boat. If any defects have been noted they
will no doubt, be remedied, but the real
point of interest has been to convert the tor
pedo from purely defensive to a powerful
offensive agent. We, perhaps, of all civilized
peoples, are most interested in the result Our
immense seacoast practically undefended,
offers strong temptation to attack, and, with
out the aid OF the torpedo, it would
have to remain practically without defence
except at few important points At least
such would inevitably be our position should
a war break out with any Power strong at sea.
With the success of the torpedo boat, how
ever, the attack on our coasts becomes very
serious matter indeed, and one that will
demand caution and boldness combined on
the part of an aggressor The respect i'm
posed by torpedo defences is greater than can
be obtained by any other system. This arises
from the fact that it takes its enemy unawares
and that what it strikes it destroys. Once
within its reach escape is impossible. The
strongest armor plated war ship and the
smallest gunboat must go down when struck
by this terrible engine of destruction like a
house of cards before puff of wind. Hence
the care with which the bravest men avoid
them. When first introduced they were
clumsy, unmanageablo things, but the applca-
! tion of electricity now renders them as certain

and reliable as the latest small arm, 30 Iar' az
least, as exploding them is concerned. Steam
has been successfully applied to their direc-
ton, and instead OF being obliged to wait the
approach of an enemy the torpedo has ac-
quired the power of searching him out ana
striking him at the most unexpected moments
This new invention rendes1.s the h..cocKade of
ports practically imreo mr,;eossible. No feet would
o1-~ remain where boat might steal out
In the night and deal destruction to the
strongest ships practically without risk we
hope the Senate Naval Committee will be sui
tciently impressed with the importance OF per-
fecting this cheap and reliable method OF coast
defence. Even Congress, which displays such
direful animosity against the navy, will hardly
refuse to develop a system of defence which
has the two strong Recommendations of being
cheap and effective.

The Cuban Insurrec tiOn.

The news from Cuba shows considerable
activity on the part Of the insurgents. Even
the neglect of their compatriots, who might
afford them important assistance, seems not
to discourage the brave men who fight so un-
finchingly against overwhelming odds. The
spreading OF the insurrection westward, as
proved by the attack on Santi Espiritu and
the numerous engagements in the Cinco
Villas, is of the utmost Importance to
Spain. Should the insurrectionary fame
spread beyond the Cinco villas dis
trict into the cultivated and thickly
populated western district Spanish do
minion will be doomed. A servile revolt
would deprive the island Of all value, and
there would be nothing for the planters to do
except to escape with as much Of their wealth

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?-Governor Moses

which he deliberately defended and justified
his administration. When he had concluded,
a young negro orator who had been one OF his
ofice-holders rose and replied, denouncing the

called here, irregularities" and demanding
the nomination of pure and honest men for
office. Now, member Of the Louisiana
carpet-bag government threatens to resign be-
cause corrupt and disreputable State officer
has been renominated. This is the pot calling

The Glcndennfng Scandal.

The scandal which brought Miss Mary E.
Pomeroy and the reverend Glendenning
prominently before the public has ended in
the death of the unfortunate young lady. Tho
history of her relations with her pastor are
remarkably sad, and show an amount Of heart
lessness on the part of the shepherd Of tho
fold one would scarcely find except
among the most dangerous class of wolves.
If such revelations Of church life continue
people who desire to preserve their homes
pure will think seriously before admitting
clergymen into their families. Certainly re-
cent events would justify much circumspec-
ton, as the wolves seem to hire themselves
out as shepherds, with the object OF
devouring the flock with greater ease and
security. It is really very much to be-
regretted that there is no law to punish suf6-
GENTLY man who under the guise of religion
violates the sanctity Of home and makes use
of his supposed holiness for the purpose OF
seduction. In the case of the reverend Glen
denning Miss Pomeroy distinctly intimated
that he had obtained from her papers of
compromising character through threats Of
violence As these declarations were made in
the presence OF death they have an awful
solemnty, and it is to be hoped that the law
yers will find some way of Furnishing so great
a crime against morality and The common
rights of humanity.

Moro About the Scandal.

Plot and counter plot still mark the prog
ress of the Beecher scandal. In the struggle
to win public sympathy neither party exhibits
much delicacy or scruple nor, indeed, any
very close adherence to the truth. The latest
example of this interminable misrepresenta-
ton is furnished by the lawyers Mr.
Beecher's legal advisers publish card re-
ouesting MIR. Tilton's lawyers to furnish them
with legal papers. This demand is put for
ward with flourish of trumpets showing Mr.
Beecher like an jax delying the lightning
shafts of scandal. The heroic picture is some
what damaged by the statement of Mr.. Tilton
that Mr. Beecher has been notified for some
days to name his legal seconds in the Court
duel to which he is summoned. Had Mr.
Beecher taken the Ajax position little earlier
in the controversy its moral effect would have
been much greater on the community. It
argues want of sense of the ridiculous for o
man who has been dragged into court by the
coattails to strike magnificent attitudes. We
have had too much humbug and chcane in
this business already. 1t is time for the bur-
lesque to be brought to an end The public
is pretty well disgusted with the performance.
IL is now ghere it can be best settled, in the
courts Of law, and the less harleGuinizing
there is on either side the more the pubic
will be pleased. Some one must be morally
buried, and decency demands that the rite
should be performed with some semblance o.
d,o,,;ty
