THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.

ABSTRACT OF THE eECRETARY'S REPORT.
The report Of the Secretary of the Navy
shows that bran!h OF the service to be in a
condition as effective % it is possible to keep
it with the means the appropriations give the
department. 1t is. Of course, impossible to
riv i the costly ana progre- sive establishments
Of the great European powers, with the old
material Of our navy, to which no increase
has been authorized since the wa, except the
eight small c:uisers built to supply the place
o, others which had gon~ to decay; vt the
most has been done that WAS possible with
the means at command, and by substantially
rebuilding some Of our old ships with
ing and rci,ting our monitor
fact, the navy has been gradually so brought
up ta4t, thou gh it does not maintaln relative
position amoi = the progressive nsvies Ut the
vol it is now in a condition more powerful
and Effective than it has ever been In time OF
peace. Complete repairs OF the Eve heavy
iroh clads art: ,nly delayed on account Of the
iasdrQuscy Of the appropriations made LAST
year Tor the working bureaus Of the depart
ment, which were actually less In amount than
those made bttore the war, Notwithstanding
the greatly enhanced pro. OF labor aud mS-
:r,iais, and the inc'ease in the cost Of the
naval service growing out OF the universal
use OF expensive steam machin-ry.
The meaus necessary tor these re-
pairs should be PROVIDED At once,
thst they may be completed without further
unnecessary delay. Whsn this is do1h all
the strength there is in the navy will bs de-
v-loped. and it will become useful to the full
capacity, and ali will be powerful tor the pur-
pose OF deiens,, and also for offensive action
should necessity for that arise within reasona
bic distance from our shores; and the fact
that our navy is not more modern and power
,ul than It is, has been made necessary be-
cause OF the complaint against the secretary
OF the Navy ty persons who A. the sane time
crit:cise and complain Of the endeavors to
tuing the navy to tue best possible aud most
rficient condition. But the good sense OF the
country will understand that it il really to
his practic u act on tn t We have At this time
any active navy force at command.

MAGNETIC SOAP

The Cheapest Soap that can fs used syE
the following reasons:
lst.-one bar viii go as far as two OF any
other.
2d.-Only half the usual rubbing being
required, there is q saving N more
than the entire cost Of the Soap IN
labor alone.
.Sd.-The clothes are made Sweet, Clean
and white without Boiling or Scald-
ing, thus all injury TO them isavoid-
ed. There is q saving I'm fuel and
hard work, and the washing is done
in about half the usual time.
II is also guaranteed under a penalty OF
nifty dollars not 20 iniure the clothes or
hands, and as one trial will enable any
person to ascertain the truth of these
statements, it would never pay the pro-
Prietor to engage in an extensive system
OF advertising and claim such decided
merit for his Soap unless he knew from
positive experience that it would prove TO
be in every respect what is claimed for IL.
This is also superior Soap for Toilet
