Mr.. H. g. Warmoth. OF Louisiana, to
whose ingenuity, when he was Cover

cd for the Returning Board which has
been so efIcctually used to reconstruct
election returns, is undertaking the ar
duous task Of regulating the political
machinery Of both parties In the ap-
preaching election. His plans. it is al
legged. are to obtain the nomination Of
the Republican party for Governor. and
then to organize n fusion party. which
shall be nominally Democratic or Con
servative. This Is precisely the same
programme which Chamberlain has in
view, except that the latter modestly
expects that his fusion party will alb
-sorb tho whole Democratic vote. in
stead Of part Of 1t. The argument for
fusion put forth i'm both States
il that tho Democrats cannot
elect Governor of their own po-
litical faith, and. therefore, 1t is expedi
ent for them to make the best possible
bargain with their opponents. Leaving
out of view the immortality OF bargain
ing for Office, the argument, SO far as
Louisiana il concerned, has no basis

NAVAL MILMnItG.
Futility 0f the Enormous Expenses In
cured for the Navy.
IN. Y. Sun.l


The Naval appropriation bill has been
reduced from the estimates, calling for
many millions more, to $12 10000
against about SIT 900 900 last year. This
is we'll so far MS It goes. but if the navy
was put back where 1t was before the
war. and made as efficient as it WAS
then, several millions more could be
saved.
Secor Robeson Intentionally put in
big estimates this year for an opposition
House to cut down, and it is significant
circumstance that he approved the lop-
ping Off The appropriations for the
be high IT is absurd for us to attempt
to keep mp q navy to compete with those
Of European powers. In the event of
war our navy would be of insignificant
use to us To defend our coast line with
ships we should need tho combined
navies OF Europe, and then it would be
insufthiently guarded. As it Is, we have
not q vessel that amounts to anything
against ironelads like the InHexible and
n dozen others Of the British navy, and
our guns bear no comparison with those
ailoat by the hundred in foreign navies.
They are mere pop-guns com pared with
the big rifles Of the other great powers
Nor is there need that we should keep
up great display Of ironclads and
heavy ordinance. What we require is n
lot Of effective movable torpedoes to
protect our harbors, and they can be had
ut n small expense As for the navy, If
il is deemed necessary to send ships
cruising about the world. the slow tubs
Socor Nobeson has now will be equal TO
the purpose. great navy is for rs
nothing more than an expensive toy.
What we have got now is the laughing
stock Of the world. and yet we propose
70 spend next year nearly thirteen mil
lions on It.
The Committee on Appropriations
should have abolished all the navy
yards except one on the Atlantic and one
on the Pacific coast. That is all we
need. The navy yards. as every officer
Of the service knows, are all seats Of
political corruption, establishments for
the manufacture of votes for Admins
tration candidates. Nine-tepths Of the
work done ut them could better be done
by contract with private concerns.
