Condition Of the u. =. Navy.
STIRRING APPEAL OF SECRETARY HUNT IN HIS ANNUAL

REPORT.
Secretary Hunt says in his annual report: ssThe
condition OF the navy isnperatyely demands the
prompt and earnest attention OF Congress. Unless
some action is taken in its BEHALF il must soon
dwindle into insigni1icanCe. We have
been unable TO make such an appropriate display
OF our naval power abr0ad as viii cause us 10 be
respected. The exhibition II cur weakness ia this
important arm OF iefeHSe Is calculated To detract
from our occupying in the eyes or foreign ma
tions that ralk 10 which We know ourselves
TO be Justly entitled. Calls
are made upon the department to send yes-
sells into different parts OF the world, IN order TO
prevent threatened aggression upon the rights OF
American ctiZo ns, and To shield them In time OF
civil commotion in foreign lands from insult or
personal indgnty. IL is 10 be depiored that In
many such instances IL has proved impossible 10
sooild TO these calls from the want OF sufficient
numper or vessels. These things ought not 10 De.
While the navy should not be large, ft should az
all times afford a nucleus for its enlargement
upon an emergency. It's power OF prompt ana ex-
tended expansion should be established IL should
be- sufficiently powerful .'to assure the navigator
that In Whatsoever he shall sail his ship he Is
protected by the stars nd stripes OF his country"
The Secretary says that all tie trlumtihs winch

with the glory Of the nation the achievements OF
the navy constitute strong claim upon the af1ec-
tons OF a patriotic ana gfateiul people Tue Sec
reJary speaks very highly OF the officers OF the
navy. he says: Upon the whole, whether II be as

People troubled with rheum ism or
any chronic disease, are almost certain to find
relief by visiting the Statewide Springs. The
cost of staying at tie "Fountain House" il

know their healing virtues from experience.

it is model, small but perfect, of city mil

bachelor feel as if he had obtained glimpse
