IL assisted in tiding over its present
difficulties. In order to save most, if not
oil Of tho government money already
invested, we believe it would be an act
of wisdom for congress to extend the aid
sought, and an act that would receive the
appreciation Of the people.
Aside from the ques tion Of money in
vested national pride forbids the idea
that we should permit tho Exposition to
fail, when it is sure that it would op-
crate to our discredit abroad. Mono Of
tho foreign governments have ever per-
mitted such enterprises to fail for lack OF
means to pay expenses and awards, and
tho great republic of tho new world
cannot afford to become the first nation
to do 80. II was believed from the
inception of tho project that II would
result in vastly stimulating our CONNER.
cal intercourse W it'll the other nations of
this continent, and the lively interest
taken in II by Mexico and the Central
and South American republics shows that
tho expectation was we'll founded. IL
scoms to us that In view of tho ad.
vantages we can reasonably hope to reap
from the Exposition from the expansion
Of our trade with these people alone, II
tho Exposition is carried through, il
would bo folly to allow 1t TO fail now for
lack Of sum such rs congress frequently
votes for the erection Of postoffce in
somo small city, or tho improvement Of
n river or hArbor that serves an incon-
siderable commerce.
National Republican., 1885-02-13

The memorial of the state and terri
torial commissioners praying congress
sional aid for tho New Orleans Exposition
is strong document, and in our iudg-
ment presents case that should be fa-
vorably considered. 1t is very plain
that tie Exposition is greatly embar.
rassed and In danger Of failure. For this
state of affairs the government Ia not ro-
sponsible nor can ii be said with strict
justice are the projectors and conduct
Ors of the Exposition, though the wisdom
of their course in expanding tho EXPOSE
tion to such vast proportions may we'll
be questioned. No one familiar with the
history of the great worlds fairs held in
modern times could fail TO know that
all except the one under consideration
have been held in tho midst Of vast popu-
lations, but for all that few Of them, if
any, have realized profit in an excess
of receipts over expenditures. From the
outsoJ then it has been almost certain
that an exposition of such magnitude,
N'itn such q sparse population to draw
upon for gate receipts, as that now in
progress At New Orleans must almost in
varitably fail to take in enough money
TO pay its expenses
Many members and senators in voting
national aid to the enterprise must have
foreseen this, but the supreme CONNER
oial importance Of such grand displays of
the results Of industry and art are well
understood in modern times, and it is
probable that members Of congress con.
sidered the results certain to accrue to
our commercial and industrial interests
from tho New Orleans Exposition more
than a,sufficient return for the money APP
propTdated in its behalf eyon II 1t should
all 10 lost though 1t would be too much
10 suggest that such result was antici-
paied as an entirety, nor need it now be
-yealized.
Y The memorial, however, shows to con-
.gress that for reasons fully set forth the
Exposition ia IN serious danger Of a coll
lapse, aud that at the same time it is now
in condition to become selfsustaining

A SCHOOL OF NAVAL WARFARE.

The Reasons for the Establishment
of the Class ut Coasters IIarbor
Island.
The secretary Of tho navy transmitted
TO tho senate yesterday a response to tho
resolution Of that body asking for infor-
nation as to what steps had been taken
to es stablish an advanced course Of instruo-
tion for naval officers at Coaster's Harbor
island, r. l., and the reasons therefor.
Secretary Chandler says tho subject of
an advanced course of instruction for
naval officers was referred by the depart
ment to naval board, which made ro-
port in June, 1884, recommending the es-
tablishmcut of an advanced course Of in
struction in the science and art Of mill
tary and naval warfare, and internationa al
law and history. The secretary says IL
was deemed advisable that the course Of
study should

at Newport, r. l., and that as the govern
meutalready possessed grounds and build.
ings near Newport that place was selected.
The secretary in reply TO tho second
part Of the resolution says: "The reasons
which have controlled tho action Of this
department are to be found in the rocog-
nizod necessity for an advanced course of
military and naval education in the
United States. There are now three
such schools in the army and one in the
navy. The latter is the torpedo station
at Newport, where class of officers is
assembled for few months each year for
instruction in tho art OF manufacturing
and using torpedoes and torpedo explo-
siyes.
THE CONSTANT CHANGES IN THE
METHODS .F
of conducting naval warfare Imposed by
the introduction Of armOr6d ships, swift
cruisers, rams, seayFoing torpedo boats,
and high power guns, together with more
rigid methods of treating the various
subiects' belonging to naval science
render imperative the establishment of a
school where our officers may DO enabled
to keep abreast Of the improvements
going on In every navy in the world
The torpedo school only partly fulflls the

THE college ,or advanced schooD is in

in the navy makes it especially appropri
ate to require that at all times some o

gross the report OF the board Of management
Of the Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centen-
nial Exposition at New orleans, and also
memorial Of the United States commissioners
to the exposition requesting an additional APP
preparation TO extlngush a deficit In its ac.
counts and asking authority to reopen the eX-
hibtion during the winter of 1886. The
President, In his message Of transmittal, says:
"a failure on the part of the management TO
carry out the original intent In regard to tho
exposition might reflect upon the honor Of the
United States government, since twonty.one
foreign nations aud forty-siN states aud terri
tories have Joined In the enterprise through
faith In the sanction Of the government. In
view Of this fact and in consideration of the
value of the exposition to the cause of material
progress and general education, respectfully
submit the report mentioned for the favorable
consideration of congress The report of the
board Of management and the memorial OF the
United States commissioners have already

This is commendable. The postoffico dc.

standpoint. The country expects i'm
proved facilities and reduction of post
