N1VdL EDOLTIION.

The report of United States Naval COnstruc-
tor Hichborn on the state of naval progress IN
Europe is alike interesting and suggestive
though it certainly does not appear To embody
any definite recommendations concerning the
navy of the United States. This omission, how
ever, is inevitablefrom the nature of the con-
illusions reached in regard to other matters.
Mr.. Hchborn found that the great naval
powers have been for years ana still are liter
ally cropping in the dark. AS regards naval
evolution the period is one of bascless specula-
ton, daring experiment, and general uncer-
tainty. Navies are being built, or radically
modified, without any practical foundations for
the theories adopted. No living man can tell
what the naval warfare of the future is to be-.
Despite the confidence with which new models
have been introduced and new tactics, it is
known to no one what measure OF success any
new invention or system will attain OF late
the torpedo boat mania has ragged violently, but
it is impossible to say whether those boats will
play the important part assigned them. There
is indeed strong presumption that in an
action between two ir0n-clad fleets they would
be practically useless after the first broadsdes
had been fired, since the smoke would thence
forward render it impossible to direct them
with any precision
1t looks at present as if their chief use would
be as auxiliaries to the great ironclads. They
may as Mr.. lIichborn suggests, be capable of
maintaining IA blockade by themselves, but it is
doubtful whether thew can without ironclad
support attack powerful armorcd vessel with
any hope of success. SO much depends upon
the AIM the currents, the tide, and the motion
of the object aimed at, in torpedo attacks, that
though it may be assumed that the successful.
explosion of IL single powerful torpedo will dis
able or sink Il heavy ronclad, the chances of
combining all the requisite conditions for sue
cess are probably fewer than in the case of the
destination of musket ball fred in battle
Torpedo MEETINGS and machine guns must also
be considered aud on the whole it seems easy
to attach too much importance TO the torpedo
boat.
Nevertheless the rational inference from the
report of Constructor Hichborn is tina. the
building of the elaborate and costly ironclads
now or recently favored in Europe must be a
dubious experiment. Science needs naval
battle to solve many problems, in fact, but
while awaiting such an event it is certain that
nothing can be jcopardized by putting our
coasts in state of defence, by fortifying salient
points and arming them with the heay lest ord
nance of the time.

THE MANLY WAY IS TIE BEST WAY
The Washington correspondent of our es-
teemed contemporary, The World, would have
the readers of that p lper believe that Secretary
Whitney is call0us ana indifferent to the just
criticisms his course in the Navy Department
has excited The correspondent took copy OF
last Saturdays TRIBUNE in his hand, and OBJ
tanning an audience with Mr.. Whitney, showed
him the review therein printed OF his official
dealings with John Roach. " He read it through
carefully" writes the correspondent lie SAID
sit was such weak statement ii was not worth
answering. 1t was full from beginning TO eud
4" of malicious misstatements of fact. Those
"nisstatements were simply foolish, because the
"recOrds of the case III the Department would
" disprove every one of them"
We should be sorry to think that Mr.. Whit
ncy regards the showing made against him by
TIE TRIBUNE as weak We accredited him
with good purpose when he accepted Office
and have all along supposed that he could not
possibly appreciate the evil effects of his course
of persecution and injustice. But when con-
frontcd with Il careful and exact review of his
work and its consequences, we shall be sorry to
see him affect an Indifferent bearing. 1t is
quite enough that in an effort to manufacture
political capital for the Administration he has
created animOsitics and discussions III
the Navy, caused large and
wholly useless expenditure Of public
money, broken down the one great American
shfp building firm, turned an army of work
men into the street, seriously retarded the
completion Of the new crGsers, involved the
Government in complications that are likely
to end in an nexcIsaDlc lawsuit, impaired the
good faith Of the United States so badly as to
render II doubtful If tAe contemplated vessels
can be built mt all, discrcdited the ability and
Judgment of large body of our best naval
officers. and involved his department in tan
glcsome meSs,-we say it is quite enough
that he has done this, without twirling his fin
gers in an Indifferent way and saying that 1t
all amounts to nothing. Ii the records OF the
Department show hat these statements do the
Secretary an injustice he owes 1t to himself
to let the public see the records.
As matter of fact, the showing
we have presented is made almost wholly from
Mr.. Whitney's own official statements and rs
for the consequences of his acts, he has only to
consult the business men Of the cOuntry-those
whose prospect Is the life of American indus
tries, which IT is his especial duty to foster and
protcct-to obtain a faint notion of theirsenous
nature.
Bluff is a good game for small politicians to
play. but it is unbecomlng in men of whom the
people expect wise and useful craftsmanship.
Mr. Whitney is in a deeper hole than John
Roach. IT will not do to pretend that he enjoys
the situation The thug to do is to get himself
out, and the manly way is the best way.
