SPIRIT OF The HOUR.

Congressman Van Aernam, of New York
recently said: " attended the memorial services Of
Abraham Lincoln In 1868, and those of Garfield in
lssl. of the 400 great men who gathered ON
the former occasion, only nineteen were present at
the latter In sixteen years political generation has
passed away. We live and die rapidly on Capitol
Hill.''
The Boston Transcript says: " Lobbying
and log rolling have apparently cut OF communica-
tlon and community Ot interest between Congress
and the home keeping masses of the people. But
the latter always make themselves heard and felt at
last. The storm against which the more enlightened
representatives OF protected manufactures would
begin TO take In sail aud change the course will be
the more obstructive for every puny attempt to pen
IL un with politics.

Strange that it does not occur to Senators
and Repres entatives that they are placing
themselves in q most unpleasant position by
voting for a large reduction Of the Navy.
Admitting that the number Of officials is ex-
cessive, does not that convict Of gross neglect
OF duty those who have year after year voted
appropriations for an extravagant salary

now ten and fifteen years ago, when, more.

aud the Neeury was not oyer0owing in n
positively.imbarrassing manner. Lack Of
knowledge about the case in the past can
not he pleaded, for the facts were all pub
lished in the Navy Register. To vote with
a rush for n sweeping aud harsh reduction
in the number OF naval officers is for all the
older Congressman to convict themselves Of
carelessness about their votes Of money dur
ing the very period when the Government
had no money to spare.
But the natural inference from the present
attitude of legislators toward the Navy is not
the correct one. Congress, like all large and
unwieldy bodies, is subject to stampedes. 1t
is now in a state Of stampede and in the ex-
element has forgotten the reasons which
have guided its action toward the naval es-

constructed in less time than it takes to train
officers to command them. An iron-clad can
he built in the time young officers should
serve in their lowest grades. Lack of con.
fdence in the administration of the Navy De-
partment, scandals growing out of the eN.
penditures Of the appropriations for construc-
tion, and, lastly, political considerations,
the parties being SO evenly balanced
that the control OF Congress is con-
stantly shifting-a state of things
unfavorable to the carrying out of a consist
ent policy--all these circumstances have
combined to DELAY the rebuilding of the
Navy, which, as we contend, and as the de-
bates will show, was contemplated during
all the years when an establishment has
been kept mp far in excess of that needed to
officer the few vessels in commission and to
| perform other necessary duties in our skele-
ton Navy. II the policy hitherto kept in
view of constructing such number and
/ class of cruisers as will cause the American
/ flag to again become known and respected,
/ is to be abandoned, it will he because the
state of things to which we Just alluded still
continues, viz: that the party in power by
a slender tenure fears to undertake the work
of construction, and is now, in preference
willing to appear inconsistent with its own
course, which it has steadily pursued since
the Civil War. We hardly need say that
the deliberate policy which has been kept
in view all these years. of providing the
country with respectable Navy, is in every
phase more statesmanlike than that which
was outlined by the Rollins amendment.

Ing substituted IL more room for the library Is
needed. This terrace building will be lighted
from the front, rear and top, furnish the
same facility as now TO walk round

present library by an elevator from the level
of the park below TO the level of tho rOtunda;
also for the use OF the public and members. II
will add forty feet TO the apparent height of
the westfront OF the Capitol, which Will greatly
improve Its appearance, ms 1t Is too long for IFS
height and too low for the great dome. The
proposed grand staircase VIII enter through
the centre of this terrace building, aud the
parhpet walls of the top Will furnish excellent
places for National statuary. A precedent for
such terrace structure TO great building
may be seen in the "Americau Cyciopedla "
