European and American shipbuildIng

European and American shipbuilding.
Some little stir is being made in England
just now by the charge Of the London Daily
NeCS that Mr.. White, the director Of naval
architecture to the British admiralty, and
Mr.. N. Barnaby, ex ditto, are financially
interested In the construction of the new
vessels for the United States navy. Whether
the charge is true of not, 1t is we'll known
that the English shipbuilders have had an
agent in this country for many months,
and 1t is equally well known that Congress
man Hewitt has been an ardent advocate
Of their interests.
Secretary Whitney denies that the above
named persons are financially interested In
the new vessels, but admits having pur-
chased plans from abroad, Now the Secre-
tary will discover, IL he has not done so al
ready, that the expense and secrecy con-
nected with the matter were quite unneces-
sary, as the plans Of all the latest war YES
sells Of Europe find their way to this coun-
try long before the vessels are completed.
In fact the Europeans make no secrecy
about the matter, not one.half Of the mysti-
flcation that obtains In our own ordnance
departments, as a perusal Of their technical
journals will show.
All Of this talk about not being able to
build vessels in this country equal to those
in Europe is the verlest rot, the opinions OF
Congressman Hewitt and Lore aud Lieut..
Jaques to the contrary Notwithstanding.
1t only shows how foolish even sensible
people can make themselves when they
begin to discuss matter they know nothing
about.
The fact is that vessels equal to those
built in Europe can be designed and con-
structed in this country by engineers, con-
structors, and mechanics, both inside and
outside Of our navy.
To accomplish certain object in naval
architecture, a certain assemblage of lines,
displacement, and power are necessary.
For instance, take the III -fated Oregon; here
we have twenty-knot. vessel, whose length
is nearly ten times that Of her beam, and
whose horse power is nearly twice that of
her displacement, and burning about 800
tons of coal per diem, answering perfectly
for an ocean express steamer, but lacking,
with the exception Of speed, every requi,
site OF a good war vessel. She had neither
the deck room to allow the maneuverng of
guns compatible with her displacement,
nor the stability of platform TO insure any
kind of accuracy in firing. The modern naval
architect, not the ''modern men," If required
to design war vessel OF the same general
condition, as to displacement, power, &C.,
Of the Oregon, would first consider the best
arrangement for the effectiveness of the
battery This would necessitate greater
beam; this, In turn, would lead to less
draught, or length or probably both, after
which 1t would be found quite likely that
the lines would not be so favorable for
speed, and there would be an increase OF
wetted surface, consequently reduction
Of speed from that Of the Oregon would be
the inevitable res ult.
This explains why It is more difficult to
design fast war vessel than 1t is to design
fast merchant one.

The Civil Service Law.

Referring to the charge Of the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN that, by collision between the
civil service commission and Commissioner
OF Pensions Black, the latter has been able
to get his friends appointed to places In the
pension bureau, the New York Sun says:
Commissioner Lyman, whom the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, charges with knowledge OF tho
collision, has been known as an offensive Re-
publican partisan, and must have experienced
a great change Of heart If he has done anything
to put Democrats into office,
Mr.. Lyman is not commissioner, but
chief examiner, His nomination for COM
missioner has not yet been acted upon. He
made good record as a department clerk
prior TO his connection with the civil service
commission, In the position OF chief ex-
aminer he is fairly assumed to have been
cognizant Of and consentng TO the various
devices gotten up for evadlng the law SO as
to get Democrats into office. That Mr..
Lyman was ever sufficiently prominent as
n Republican TO warrant his nomination as
the only representative OF the party on the
board OF civil service commissioners Is not
yet apparent, we believe, to anybody ex-
cept the President, Mr. Eaton, and MIR.
Lyman.
The Sun seldom INDUCES in so much OF
misstatement as II has managed to put into
this paragraph:
The truth is that the whole civil service
scheme has been means for getting Republl
cans into place and keeping them there. II
any considerable number Of Democrats sue
coed in getting appointments, the Republicans
naturally and perhaps properly infer that there

THE New York Sun, Of the Goth instant,
has long editorial on "a Question Of
Woman's Dress" In which the writer makes
a strong plea for the decollete. The article
begins by quoting Miss Cleveland to the
effect that she has no objection 10 the dis
play Of the neck and arms, and leaves her
own bare on all full.dress occasions, but
lays down the rule that "between the neck
and bust there's line al ways TO be drawn"
and which cannot be passed without pro-
ducing an effect Shocking, natseatlng, re-
voting, and deserving Of the utmost denun-
citation on the score of morality, beauty,
health, and every other consideration which
good men and women should conspre to
preserve and exact" The Su,, opposes TO
this the statement that "throughout the
civilized world the full evening dress for
women falls below Miss Cleveland's line,
and is expressly designed to show what she
declares SO emphatically cannot be revealed
without outraging taste and decency--the
swell OF the bosom.n After roaming through
all nges and many countries the Sun writer,
| rising to the height Of the great occasion,
asserts that "Christian civilization, every
where demands that feminine beauty shall
be seen, and wherever that civilization
has reached its highest development the
practice against which Miss Cleveland ihe
Weighs so violently has continued to pre-
vail, though other fashions OF women's
dress have undergone multitude Of
changes. In every country where women
are most highly honored and most tenderly
cherished, and where respect for women is
most complete and sincere, It may be said
generally that the line drawn by Miss Cleve-
land is always ignored in the full dress of the
best women.n There is good deal of truth
in all this, but It is-a fact, nevertheless, that
gentlemen Of refinement do, as a rule, de-
cidedly object to any greater exposure Of
the person by their lacy friends than 1.-THE
display Of the neck and arms" A dress
expressly designed to show the swell OF

The almost universal wish Of the Ameri-
can people is that our superanuuated
wooden ships of war may be replaced with
steel cruisers Of the best designs, and armed
with the most effective batteries,
The work of rebuilding the navy should
be strictly non-partisan, and should be car
ried forward, year after year, without refer
ence to the political complexion of the adj
ninistration.
In this respect the Republican party will
be found on higher plane than that which
was occupied by the Democrats when the
latter were out Of power.
If the administration, in so far as relates
to the navy, will hereafter avoid such acts
as inevitably arouse political hostility, we
have no doubt that the Republican Senate
and Democratic House will be able to agree
upon measures for carrying out the evident
desire of the people for renovation of our
