The Fighting Ships Of the Future.

The London Post protests strongly
against building any more iron-clads.
1t enumerates the disadvantages en-
tailed on the British navy by the appli-
cation of armor-plates to the sides or
batteries of hne-of-battle Tor fghting)
ships as follows:1. The expense ofiron or
steel armor adequate to resist the ever
increasing power of artillery is simply
monstrous. 2. All fire from shipboard
is known to be more or less inaccurate,
and the chances of ship being struck
In vital part are very small indeed. 3.
But If the armor-plating of ships bat
5ery or turret be struck, and if it be not
wholly impervious to the shell striking
it, the effect of the blow is enhanced,
and the shield actually becomes an in
strument for rendering the blow more
deadly to the gunners behind it. 4. A
ship has a certain tonnage displacement,
according to which her weights have to
be arranged. Hence, every ounce of
armor weight decreases the gun weight
or coal weight that she can carry. 8.
Iron-clad fighting ships are necessarily
of such prodigious size that to pos
sess numerous navy and to conduct a
great naval war on the principles that
must be followed if we are to maintain a
dominant position on the seas-that is,
as war of aggression-is financial i'm
possibility. 6. It is almost certain that
the bulk of the educated naval opinion
OF the present day favors the view that
the skillful use of the ram will be the
guiding object in future naval engage
ments. Now, a modern iron-clad is
about as handy an instrument for use in
rammiDg maneuvers as-well, let us say
an old COW at a pump. Z. Next to the
ram the torpedo, or torpedo vessel, is
probably the most efficient naval-fght,
ing weapon. But an enormous iron
clad is singularly open to attacks from
torpedoes, and its size gives it no par
ticular advantage in directing such at
tacks. s. The great size, draught, and
cost of iron-clads inevitably tend to re-
duce the feeling which should be upper
most In any captains mind, that he "can
go anywhere and do anything" with his
ship. In fact, it renders him cautious
"a deadly quality for naval minds.
What, then, should we substitute for
these gigantic armored floating ma
chimes? To us it appears that the type
of first class fighting ship which most
nearly meets the requirements of the
day is as follows: An unarmored cor
vette without sails, of two thousand to
four thousand tons displacement, DOS
sessing good sea qualities, an armament
of maximum weight and power, an un-
derwater steel protecting deck, great
capacity of coal stowage, hardness,
facilities for rammlng and torpedoing,
and as much speed as can be given her
Such vessels would cost comparatively
small sums, and we could maintain many
squadrons of them.

A Barren VICTORY.

LONDON, Jan. 23.--Private advices re-
ceived late this afternoon from Korti

Gen. Stewart in the desert, where he
has taken up an entrenched position to

ley. Deserters from the rebel
lines state that Mahdi's off
GERS consider the affair at
Abu-Klea Wells drawn battle. The
Arabs were neither routed nor pursued,
and fell back in an orderly manner not
in the least demoralzed by the out
come of the engagement. They recov-
cred themselves so quickly and effect
lively that Gen. Stewart dared not move
He was compelled to entrench himself
on the scene of the conflict. Govern
ment officials discredit the information

OBTAINED WITH MONEY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Dr. Adair,
of Indian Territory, Cherokee, was
examined by the Senate committee on
Indian affairs, to-day. He said he was
president of an association of Cherokees
formed for the purpose of taking lease
of vacant lands from the Cherokees. The
associations agent were authorized to
offer $125,000 for lease, but it was Sc
cured by outsiders for 100000. The
impression of members of the native
association was that money was used by
rivals. Cash was very rare commodity
among the Cherokees before the lease
was made. About the time it was
made, however, members of the council
came to witness store with $50 bills
to be changed.

PROGRESSED socialists so rarely do any
thing that is not despicable that the
German brotherhood deserve a good
deal of credit for introducing into the
Reichstag bill making it prison Of
tense to fight duel. This strikes at
one of the disgraces of social life of
Continental Europe. The air can never
be sweet or wholesome, and life can
never be held very sacred, when every
petty misunderstanding is to be cleared
in blood. But it seems strange to see
this reform coming from the class
among whom are found the men whose
own way of Fighting wrongs is assassin
ation.

The United States supreme court has
recently redered decision holding a
railroad company liable for the injury
of one of its employees caused by the
negligence of another of its employees
In a different grade of service. In the
case before the court an engineer on
one train had been injured by the neg
ligence of the conductor on another.
The company set up the usual defense
that it was not liable because both en-
gineer and conductor were its own
employees. The supreme court holds
the company liable. 1t says that the
two employees were not fellow-servants.
The conductor was in superior and
the engineer in subordinate grade of
service. The court was not called upon
to determine the law In case of fellow
servants. But it set aside the old COM
mon law rule in cases where the en-
ployes are not in the same grade of
service. The principle is not limited
to railroads, but extends to all employees ;
and is an important advance in the direc-
ton of reason, justice and common
sense, in which the highest courts of
some of the states have anticipated the
federal court.

rise" He sees here the reverse of
what is taking place in England. "The
wealth of the country" he says, cor at
least the power of accumulation is tend
ing westward to the prairies, whereas
in England the agricultural capital and
farming interests are every year dimin-
ishing." But the writer does not take
a very encouraging view of this extern
sion of agricultural wealth through the
West. In his opinion the idea that ag
riculture is the basis of all wealth, and
that the pillow is the emblem of prosper
ity, must be received with caution. The
commercial element, he urges, should
predominant. Merchants, according to
him, are the best statesmen, and mer-
camille communities the most prosper
GUS and enlightened. '8

In an editorial on Colfax, the New
York Mail and Express has the follow
ing: Schuyler Colfax, who died so
suddenly at railway station in Mime
sofa, was attacked by vertigo while at
the height of his career in Washington
many years ago, and he was then adj
vised by mis- physicians to greatly re-
strict himself in the use of tobacco. He
was almost as great smoker as Gen.
Grant, and it may be that his sudden
death can be traced back to the same
source as the attack which temporarily
Frustrated him at the Federal Capitol.
Gen. Grant is understood to have been
in peril of cancer of the tongue as the
result of excessive smoking, and his ply
sicians are amazed as well as gratifed
to find that he has wholly abandoned the
use of tobacco, although they only re-
quested him to be moderate in smoking,
and not to smoke the last half of his CT
gars, from which part the nicotine is al
ways received. The pernicious effects
of the excessive use of tobacco cannot
be too vigorously portrayed, and it is
well for every man to reflect that the
best physicians are unanimous in the
opinion that to neither smoke nor to chew
is the best rule. Impartial observers
who find the companionship of one who
daintily uses the weed agreeable, rather
than otherwise, are forced to admit that
in advanced age the habit seldom fails
to become injurious and filthy, as well
as expensive. This is free country,
and whosoever will may contract such a
habit, but users of tobacco should bear
in mind that to go beyond the bounds
of moderation is to expose themselves
to death from nicotine" s, .-

MURDERED BY MExICANS.

Ell PAso, Tex, Jan. 24.-Col. Dobson
arrived here yesterday from Jimulico,
Mexico, bringing with him the body of
VIM. M. Barry, murdered by Mexican
bandits, together with another American
known as Rocksey Matthews, about
twenty miles from that place. Mat
thews' body has been inferred at Jimul-
leo until his sister, who lives at Rock
ford, Col, is communicated with. That
of Mr.. Barry goes to San Antonio, Tex,
where his wife resides. Barry was a
large mine owner, and Matthews was the
employment agent of Col. Saylor, who
is largely interested in mining property
