! Mr.. Tilden's letter with regard TO sea-
coast defenses 6nds strong Endorsement
among army officers. For years they
have been warning Congress that it was
imperatively necessary that something
| should be done at once for the protection
Of our sesboard cities. Their warnings
have not been heeded, and the govern
ment in case Of dispute with a foreign
power would hardly dare to take posi-
ton that would invite a declaration Of
war because of the defenseless condition
of these cities.
For The ten years prior TO 1875 the sum
OF $10,974,000 was expended on fortiHca.
lions, and only 81 100000 since that time.
All OF the latter sum was for repairs.
The seacoast cities, however, are about
as unprotected as they would have been
if not dollar had been spent upon forth
locations. The defenses which are de-
pended upon to protect them would
not offer serious obstruction to the
armored vessels which are now TO be
found in the navies Of various nations.
The situation cannot be regarded as
otherwise than serious when it is remem-
bered that in the event Of misunder-
standing with a foreign power there
might be declaration OF
war long before it would be possible to
make any preparations for defense. For
tifcatiOns and guns cannot be construct
ed in a day. Indeed, it is said that Krupp
will not undertake to deliver one of his
immense guns in less than two years.
The amount ofproperty along our sea-
coast that is exposed is enormous. Mr..
Tllden, IN his letter, values it at $1,000
600, 200. Lieut.. Griffin, of the Engineer
Corps, in a recent lecture, placed the
amount in eleven of the principal sea-
coast cities at 1929, 117,0 900.
From military standpoint, this coun-
try can afford to despise Chill, for in
stance, and yet Chill would be an enemy
to be dreaded simply because she has a
couple of armored vessels that are far
superior to anything which we have In
the way of war vessels, and could sail up
New York harbor without fear of harm
from the guns which are supposed to pro-
tect that city. With her armored vessels
in New York harbor, she might be able TO
dictate her own terms.
The defenseless condition of our sea-
coast cities is no secret. 1t is known to
every foreign government, and this knowl-
edge would be productive Of an aggres-
sive and overbearing attitude on the part
of any nation with which we might have
a misunderstanding. The fact that we
could put an immense number of men in
the field at short notice would not help
us if the things needed were guns and
Notifications.

a Guatemalan General,s spree

pened to be Frenchman. NJ. Jupin, a quiet.
orderly man, who on arriving on the festive
scene found the generals" Just about as ine-
briated as they could be, and most anxious
TO ill him too. The quality and title of the
liquor they used has not transpired, but il
must have been awful poison. FOR NJ Jupin
refused to Join in the debauch, which so in
censed his host that he mmedl telv ordered
the unlucky divine a fiogging, 100 lashes being
the dose applied, not to mention other ludiR-
mites. As Frenchman NJ. Jupln considers
himself entitled to an indemnity Of $3.50 OOO
but when he grows cooler he may probably be
persuaded to take less. Flogging as a punish
ment is supposed to be abolished, and GER
tainly no General even when drunk should
compromise the government by such bru-
tally. However, being a General here

The Presidents Message.

The message of the President will be
sent to Congress this morning. Probably
no communication from Chief Execu-
tive of the country, within the last twenty
years, has been expected with greater
interest than this.
There is great anxiety to see what the
policy of his administration is to be with
respect to the important questions that
are now being pressed upon the attention
of Congress for settlement, and this
anxiety is all the greater from the fact
that the people have reason to put con-
fidenoe in what the President says. In
his letter accepting the nomination for
President, and in his inaugural address,
he made certain promises and pledges,
and it must be admitted that ne has kept
them faithfully.
These pledges and promises were re-
ceived with satisfaction by the people
when they were made, and, with the ex-
ception of a small faction of disappointed
spoilsmen, the people are glad that they
have been kept.
The message, therefore, will be accepted
as indicating the course which the adj
ministration has elected to pursue rela-
tive to matters concerning which a policy
is demanded. 1t is probable that those
matters will be treated briefly, clearly,
strongly and from the standpoint Of a
statesman. Mr.. Cleveland has indicated
his purpose to be the President Of the
people, and not of party, and while he
believes that the highest good of the
country requires that the principles Of the
Democratic party shall prevail in the ad-
ministratiOn OF the government and that
the Democratic party shall have control
OF the government he can be depended
upon not to drop TO the level of mere
partisan.
At the beginning OF his administration
he entered upon a career of reform, and
he has not faltered in the course which he
marked out for himself. Honest men and
and honest methods are what he wants in
the administration of the government,
and what he intends to have. He is not
daunted by adverse criticism. He knows
il he does what is right he will be sus-
tanned by the popular verdict.
The message will be put on the wires as
soon as the reading OF il begins IN the two
houses Of Congress. 1t will be put in type
as it is received by the MORNING NEWS,
and published In full in its regular edi-
ton tomorrow morning. II will occupy
about 10 columns.

LabOring Under Religious Mania.

From the Near York Times.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3-While the Sam Jones
revival services were in progress at Centenary
hall to-day, Young Norwegian approached
the altar rail and shouted, so, / am the
lamb" Sam Jones shouted back. "Do you
mean you are Christ?'' Yes, yes"
But people will put you in the insane asy-
lum if you talk that way. 81 am the lamb
the lamb he replied. doggedly.
But do you mean that your blood can save
me?' "Yes, yes"
But where is your blood? Blood must be
spilled before it can wash away SINS"
The young man tried to speak in reply to
this latter question, but could not be heard.
1t appears that he has often before created
sensation in Jones revival meetings He is
man of about 30, with the appearance of being
of the working class. He has the blondness Of
his nation, and seems to be suffering under
some kind of a hallucnaJion in which his
identity with Christ is the thing that fastens
his shifting intellectual grasp. He is said to
have been at the meetings at st Joseph and
TO have followed Sam Jones here. Every daY
efforts have been made to keep him quiet, but
he persists in intruding his mistaken identity
at every opportunity.

Philadelphia and the Southern
Trade


Mr.. Smith, Mayor OF Philadelphia, is
credited by the Inquirer OF that city with
having inaugurated policy which has
for its object the cultivation OF more
friendly relations with the South, with
the view of securing return of the
Southern trade to that city. Prior to the
war Philadelphia had a very large
Southern trade, and very kindly feeling
existed between her merchants and the
merchants of the South. 1t was a de-
siraole and very profitable trade.
Philadelphia, however, lost her South
ern customers during the war, and very
few of them ever returned. Many OF
them transferred their trade TO New 7 ork,
and others established business relations
with st. Louis and other Western cities.
Philadelphia is a very conservative city,
and she was slow to adopt the means for
acquiring trade which were so eagerly
seized upon by her rivals.
There was another thing that may have
operated to keep Southern merchants
away from her. 1t is that she is Repub-
lican city, and the party that sustained
carpet-bag rule in the South found strong
sympathy and support there.
For the first time since the war Phila-
delphia is showing disposition to Guilt
vate friendly relations with the section
which once furnished her with a great
part OF her trade. Her merchants are
beginning TO realize that the South is
growing rich and that she is not only a
very large customer but is able to pay her
bills.
Mayor Smith. it seems, had this trade
question in his mind when he urged the
sending Of the old Liberty bell, with an
imposing escort, to the worlds fair at
New Orleans last winter, and when be
went there himself and took a prominent
part in Pennsylvania day ceremonies. He
also had this question in mind when he
came to Savannah with members of the
Philadelphia City Council to attend the
HarbOr Convention, which met in this
city couple of weeks ago.
Mayor Smith is probably doing more
for the interests of his city than has been
generally understood, even by those for
whose good he is working. He GER
tainly made good impression
at New Orleans, and he and those who
accompanied him were warmly received
here. The Philadelphia delegates 30 the
convention announced themselves in
sympathy with the objects of our conEen-
ton, and left the impression that when
the time came the South Atlantic cities.
could depend upon Philadelphia a for.
assistance in securing the necessary AID
for the improvement OF their harbors.
Philadelphia is a great manufacturing
city ana commercial city. There is no
reason why she should not have reasonsr
BILE share of the Southern trade. All that
is necessary to secure it is the right kind
of an effort. Mayor Smith has broken the
ground, as it were, and if the Philade1-
phia merchants will cultivate the Held
properly, they will reap a satisfactorily
harvest in the way of trade. .xuo,
