Bismarck's Creation Of a Naval Power

The record OF current events bears indi-
cations that a new naval power has arisen
In Europe. The outrage at Salonica, for
Instance, was straig htway followed by the
concentration OF German war ships In
Turkish waters. A little earlier we were
Informed that Prussian squadron would
cooperate with the English in sweeping
piracy from the Chinese seas. From time
u time we have had occasion to chronicle
the presence OF cruisers under the same
GIg IN the South Atlantic, the Indian and
Pacific oceans. This Is an aspect of Bis
hARcK's achievements to which attention
4 seldom directed; yet there is ground for
believing that within six years from the
present date, the Prussian navy will have
httIe 10 apprehend from war with any
nlritIme State except Great Britain.
Since BLAKE, "a colonel of infantry, found
means to cope with VAN TRoMP and DE
RUYTER In the narrow seas, the develop
ment OF naval efficiency has been nowhere
90 abrupt and noteworthy as i'll the empire
moulded by Prince BISMARCK. Prussia,
fifteen wears ago, had not single fortified
port OF large capacity, not one irst-rate
ship Of war, not an inch Of territory on the
German ocean. At present she possesses
two naval arsenals, which may be fairly
compared with Toulon and Brest, coast
line OF nearly eight hundred miles on the
Baltic and North seas, armored vessels Of
the greatest size and effective strength
known TO modern warfare, as well as the
material and organization essential to a
maritime power Of the first rank. Much
of this is the WORK Of less than IA decade,
and as yet the plans OF the Chancellor
have only been executed in outline.
During the Sleswick- Holstein war Of 1884
the Insignificant navy OF Denmark had
been able to blockade the whole Prussian
coast and to paralyze German commerce.
The scheme of maritime defence, how
ever, prompted by the national humilia-
ton, failed TO take any substantive shape
until after the battle of Sadowa. In 1867
Che sum of thirty-eiGht millions OF dollars
was appropriated TO the fortication Of har-
bors and the construction OF feet. a;
KEEL on the Baltic, one OF the safest and
most capacious ports in Europe, and at
Wilhelmshafen, on the German ocean,
works of great magnitude were immedi-
stoly begun and by 1870 these were 80 far
sdvanoed that the French feet, as IL ell
known, deemed II inexpedient to attack

There should always be an indigenous
and local flavor about the name Of hotel;
and II must be confessed that some of our
older ones have had admirably well chosen
names, as. for example, The Aston, The
Irving, The Brevoort, The Fifth Avenue,
and The New York. These sppellations
have a local and historical significance;
they are digniaed and pleasant In sound.
and they help to create feeling that New
York Is metropolis, and not provincial
town putting on the airs OF q greater city.
We have, in truth, "a sufficient oommodi-

trust that our future hotel builders will

The danger to captains of merchant ves-
sells In employing Greeks or Turks as sailors has
received another foTcible Illustration In the
mutiny on the British bark Caswell. which Is, In
its main features, very similar to th,t which
took place ON board the ship Lennie, ana for
which n Greek and three Turks were hanged in
London the other day. At Buenos Ayres the
English crew Of the Caswell was discharged,
and new crew. made up OF three Greeks, two
Maltese, one Scotchman, and an English man,
was shipped. Early in the morning OF Jan. 1, by
a prsconcerted arrangement, the Greeks and
the Maltese attacked the Captain and first and
second officers with knives and revolvers, aud
killed them In the most cold FLOODED manner.
When on the River Plate, tho Maltese sailors
left for the South American shore In the life-
boat, warning the British sailors before Leaving
that the Greeks would murder them as soon As a
chance offered. The latter, with the aid OF the
pentsr, determined to anticipate the mutineers,
and, arming themselves with hammers, attacked
the Greeks. Two OF the Greeks died subse-
quentiy from the wounds received, and tho
third was put In irons After the nght CARRIcK,
he Scotch sailor, took command, and with
commendao seamanship succeeded In bring

This young man evidently has some OF the
qualifications that an editor ought to possess
natural ability, education. and information,
with habits Of observation and persistency. II,
besides these, he have sound sense, unfinchng
integrity, and q proper temper, he Is better
qualified for editorship than most men are. IT,
then, having these traits and acquisitions, he be
man Of depth Of thought. keen foresight, and
lively wits, we should say he Ia we'll fitted for
the work Of an editor. Such an aspirant, bent
on trying Oh editorial career, should begin by
exercising hts talents upon the country press,
or the weekly papers Of the city. The daily
papers here are very much crowded with mat
ter and employ a large number Of trained
writers and reporters, on which account It 10
difficult for anovico 10 get fair show. Let him
furnish the kind OF papers to which we have re-
ferred with articles on public STAIRS, social
questions, popular follies, the practc Il virtues,
or foreign politics; and should they have
the ring Of the true metal to them,
they will DO sure to attract the attention
OF METROPOLITAN editors, who will then he de-
srous Of entering into communication with
him. He may not at once, even after this. be
able to procure q commanding position on any
of the daily papers but he will be comforted
with the thought that new minds md oppor-
tunities on them, now and then. ard that. ca
cies occur from time TO time even IN their high
places.
But yet we cannot advise this young man to
leave the commercial life for which he has had
a thorough training. There are q hundred
prizes In mercantile business to one In Journal
ism. The opportunities In the former are q
thousand times greater than In the latter. We
have host OF distinguished merchants In New
York who began at the bottom OF the ladder
but alas the editorial profession can furnish
room for no such host. We should think, IN ore
over, that the very quslites possessed by this
young man, which might be service BILE to him
II an editor would be highly advantageous TO
him In the line OF life for which he has been
trained. Let him stick TO that as means OF
livelihood, and spend his evenings in writing for
the country papers Til his contributions to the IN
secure him recognition 10 the world Of thought.

From the far-away wilds OF Texas lady
writes US long letter about the wickedness OF
this city and Its need Of religion. She holds that
New York Is the great source OF the vice that 10
sweeping over the LAND and that II the fountain
be purified, the streams will become wholesome.
She therefore desires that We should invite to
this city great revivalst preacher, who lie living
In obscurity among the Texans, and whose bis
tory she reoounts at much length for our In
struotiop. she assures us that this revivalist.
who was once q fearful daredevil " could do
for New York In three months what MOODY and
SAsKEY could not do Till the end OF time" II
we can trust In her account OF the overw I'm
ing power Of this Texas revivalist, who has never
found proper Geld OF operations, we should say
that he ought to try his hand here 10 New FORK,
though we must add that his female admirer
seems to have an exaggerated notion OF the dew
iltIy OF this place. Let her send him along 10
this direction. He can preach from place to
place on his way, SO that by the time he gets
here we shall have heard all about the triumphs
he has won. When he reaches this city, let him
call the clergy together, as Brother MOODY did,
and Induce them to provide him with q building
a. large as the Hippodrome, in which Brother
MOODY preached. Then he oan begin opera
tons: and II he shows himself able to turn the
citY from Its evil WAYS In three months, we shall
gladly admit our debt to Texas for such a man.

The following eomnuuicst ion is
furnished the Sentinel by gentleman OF
Eureka.
EDITORS SENTINEL: The recent pub
lished statement OF a mint official at
Carson, in which he figured the trade
dollar at present prices of silver to be
worth one dollar, is as ludicrous as il is
erroneous. Four hundred and eighty
grains constitute one ounce. With
silver at Ill per ounce the value per
grain would be- , 1925 per grain. Null
tiply this by $50 grains, the weight of a
trade dollar, and the result, is 81 1880.
As the trade dollar is 900 fine, ten per
cent. must be deducted to ascertain its
bullion value, which leaves 81 Alps, the
actual bullion value OF the trade dollar
at to-day's quotations, being 81 cents. 4
mills aud fraction. F.
The Carson Appeal published state
ment some time ago which was entirely
wrong. viz That when silver was
quoted at so pence in London, trade
dollar was worth 1876 cents. The follow
ing proves its incorrectness. A penny is
worth .020277 of a dollar; an ounce of
silver being worth an equivalent of ST.
0l3S5; trade dollar being six-sevenths
of an ounce is worth (st that quotation)
six-sevenths of Sl.0l3S5 or $3.50 cents
instead of 9S.6 as the Appeal affirmed.
