The New York Herald last week gave a
map of New York and its approaches, with
the distances marked of, and also printed
interviews with a number Of naval officers,
all showing that our greatest city is abso-
lutely defenseless. Indeed there is not one
of our seaboard cities which is defended
either by forts, torpsdoes, or war vessels, or
which could in less time than two or three
years be put in state to be defended against
the navy Of even third-rate power. Not to
speak of iron-clad vessels, we have not q
single rifed cannon of the first class, even if
We had the forts to mount cannon in. The
fact is that not only could New York and
our other cities be laid in ashes or compelled
to pay an enormous war contribution, but
New York or any other of our coast cities
period by any naval power with which We
might be at war. Our multitude of brave
men and our wealth of crude resources would
be impotent in the face of the scientific prep
aration of great military nation like Ger
many or France. And who shall say that our
wealth and defenselessness will not soon ex-
cite the cupidity of some of the predatory
powers whose populations are groaning un-
der their burdensome armament When a
Bismarck wants war quarrel is easily
found. And war has often been found the
best panacea for domestic discomfort under
despotic governments. All of which proves
that our Congress is criminally negligent
and Indifferent to questions in which our
honor and safety are vitally involved.

THE need of high license law is apparent to
every person of the least observation Washington
The multiplication of small groggeres in the resi-
dent portions of the city is serious evil. Many of
these saloons sell beer TO boys and the more nsg-
nidcant the saloon the more is the danger that no
attention will be paid to the law. Under high
license every possessor of right to sell liquor fears
TO be deprived Of 1t. With the innumerable saloons
in our city those which will sell to minors and
drunkards and keep hack door open on Sunday
are sure to be numerous.

TUE SUNDAY HERALD has not the least objection
to the special correspondents here representing
newspapers of other cities using matter which ap-
pears In these columns ifthey will give the proper
credit but 1t does object to the pilferng Of the work
OF Others to be sold as their own. An outrageous
instance of this was last week In the Washing
ton correspondence of daily published in neigh
boring city, and recently the representative of a
Philadelphia newspaper cooy appropriated an en-
tire paragraph uerbatin, which were taken from
our columns without credit, and signed his initials
as though the matter was his own To steal aud
sell the work Of other mems brains in ethics is as
bad as any other theft. So hereafter when this
species OF ofense is discovered the Of It's per-

One of the pleasantest announcements of
the past week was that of the purchase Just
outside this city of a site for the great
Catholic University for the United States.
The primary design of this institution will
be the higher education of candidates for the
priesthood, but its advantages will be open,
like those of the great Catholic universities
IN Europe, TO all who wish to avail them
selves thereof. Schools of philosophy, theol-
ogy, and natural science II seems will be first
established, and others will be added as the
means and appliances of the University
increase. 1t will not conflict with George
town University, which, as we'll known,
affords the usual college course for young
rnen, and is under exclusive charge of the
Jesuit Fathers, but in fact, by affording
advanced courses, (similar to those Of
Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,)
will aid the work Of the older insti-
tuition. There shonld be no trouble in
raising in this city a handsome fund to aid
in the endowment of the University, which
starts with gift of 100000 from one gene
rous and devout Catholic lady.

The people that are ccu,.nted with nava

The people that are ccutented with naval
insufhoiency, or, as In our case, TO be with
out any effective navy at all, ought TO have
clearly in mind how utterly impossible 1t is
TO improvise war vessels or heavy ordnance.
How much time IL takes 10 add TO the effect
i've fighting strength of navy may be
learned from what is now being done abroad.
The English have lately undertaken to in
crease their navy by the addition of two
iron-clads costing nearly three million dol
Lars each and FIVE belted cruisers costing
over a million each. These have just been
the construction of the iron-olads is three
years and half, and for the belted cruisers
two years and three months.

The surrender OF England TO Russia seems
TO be most humiliating one. Russian en-
croachments in Asia have been the subject of
frequent representations by British Ministries,
and Russia has invariably made ex-
plantations which events have quickly
falsi6ed. The acquisition Of Mery was a
fragrant violation Of these pledges, and il
might Justly have been resented by Eng
land. Before 1854 all diplomatists and
photographers agreed that the line from
Sarakhs to Rojah Saleh was the boundary
between Afghan and Turcoman territory.
The new pretensiOns 10 a boundary along
the Paropamisus range put forward to cover
the latest advance of the Russian troops
were recognized by all the world as enormous
and ipdefensible, but the British government
consented 10 discuss II aud to appoint a COM
mission to deliInit the frontier. Everybody
felt that this would result in Russia's obtain
ing large part of the territory which
she claimed without shadow Of right.
But pending this solution her generals
marched into the disputed territory,
a step which any power jealous Of its
honor would have treated as oafps @elG.

But it is by no means certain that England
has escaped war. The rumors that Russia
demands the right to have an agent at
Cabul, and that she refuses to give guaran-
tees that she will not take Herat, are oml-
nous. The story which comes by way of st.
Petersburg from Komarotf that the Sariks
complain that the new boundary gives too
much of the good pasture land to the
Afghans is too exquisitely Russian. This
stuff is solemnly published as if these nomads,
who can neither read nor write, and who
speak neither Russian nor English, know all
about the boundary lines under discussion
between the London and St. Petersburg
Cabinets and make free and intelligent COM
ments thereon. Every intelligent reader
must see that the Sariks can only say what
is put in their mouths by their new masters.
Evidently going on their knees is not low
enough, and Mr.. Gladstone and his col
leagues must get down on their bellies to
sue for peace
