DIR NEW NAVY.

1t has long been the popular opinion
that the United States should have a good
navy. and that besides the necessity for
it we might afford it, especially in view
Of the fact that we do not need a stand
ing army of very expensive establish
ment.
In Boss Chambers festive time it was
the way to trust the designs to govern
ment constructors, but Secretary Whit
new has more practical and comprehen-
sive plan, and is making use of the most
advanced ideas of other countries, and at
the same time with the view to offer the
contracts upon fair principle of compe-
tition on the market.
The accepted opinion in the naval sery-
ice of every first-class power is that
speed is necessary, and enough OF it to
maintain equality with the fastest ships
of the merchant service. Admiral Aube,
of the French Navy, recently delivered
an able opinion in this direction, which
is endorsed by Lord Charles Beresford,
of the English Navy. After explaining
that speed of twenty knots an hour can
be attained, he says: If the cruiser on
her trial does not attain this speed, then
the Government will refuse her, and she
can be utilized for the merchant marine.
The constructors will agree to these
terms, for there is always demand in
commerce for vessels of this type, and thus
there is no risk Of the Government hav-
ing on its hands quantity of failures, as
might be the case if the cruisers were to
be constructed in the Government dock
yards.

RIG THING FOR RICHMOND.

The announcement of the purchase Oh
the Danyille stock by the Terminal COM
pany Yesterday was expected early IN Inc
dav when there vas an excited flutter
among the stock spectators. kichmonu
is as intimately associated with the Dan
Vile railroad as possible, and one OF us
greatest expectations was founded on .he
hope that the system would be con'roiieu
by Richmond interests.
The effect of the recent management
was to place this city in the attitude Oh l"
water station by the courtesy OF 'hose
who controlled the consolidated Terminal
and Danyille lines for the beneh' OIL
larger centres of trade. The names VI
the Richmond men, who have achieVeu
the restoration of Richmond to its proper
Mace in such combination, deserve 10
be written in gold on the walls OF 'he
CITY as tribute to their pubic spirit,
which, if only part Vi
self interest is entitled 10
the fullest measure Of praise for such an
investment of home capital. 1t Is taken
for GRANTED that the offices of the com
pany will be moved back to Richmond
and that the magic term of "discrlmina-
ton" will hereafter be the talisman OF
preference for this city and not hired
out privilege to other places
1t is hardly necessary to explain the
immense advantages of so big a stroke IN
railway affairs until we hear positively
the views of the principal men in the new
system.

The session ofSthe Humane Society IN
Cincinnati calls attention to the numer-
Gus popular abuses which stamp our age
with one of the disgraceful abuses char-
acterstic of barbarism. ~
One of the most painful specimens OF
cruelty to behold is that practiced py the
drivers of fashionable equipages, VINO
succeed in making the horse kicker
and bitter"
1t is worth while for the CHRISTIAN
humanitarian of average social standing
who values the soft and gentle ways OF
civilization, to think of the horrible IN
auences on a generation that behold IN
their midst, and at every turn, the most
shocking cruelty to the dumb creatures
put under the charge and care OF man
for his use. Is it not part OF moral
training to educate people to proper
estimate of their responsibilities, and let
society and law expect that the poor
animal will be made to bear his burden In
manner decently merciful, that 'hu-
mainly may not be tutored to the Deastiy
selfishness of the savage?
In Richmond, where our people have
the reputation for great manliness, hospi-
tality, and the other social virtues, it is
doubly shocking to see that the animals
even used in the service of the city are
hitched to double the weight they can
pull, regardless of the hill or the fashion
of the cart.

A ribald HooSer paper has tale OF the
Presidential physicians treatment to re-
duce Mr.. Cleveland's fat, the main feature
of which is that His Excellency is made
to lie down on the floor and kick his feet
in the air for an hour twice day.
In the first place, we do not believe he
could do it; and in the second place, we
DENY that he would if he could. That
the President knows how to kick is GER
tain when statesman wants an Office
outside of the sacred pale of Ciyil-Service

a SANDER on official dignity. As Falstafi

RISE TO EXPLAIN.

The excuse witt the politicians Of Vir-
cinia for not settling the debt question by
a fair and practical consideration OF the
practicable proposition of the credi-
tors is that the people of the State
are determined on the Riddleberger set
Element or nothing But where is the
duty of the representative Of the people
if. as he must do at present, he sees the
failure of the Riddleberger act, and can
not explain this frankly to his constl-
tuents?
The times have changed since we con-
sented to try that act when the alterna-
tive was Malone rule. Besides this, we
have conscientiously worked on it, but it
only brings us into an everlasting SQUAD
BILE with the United States Courts, and
one in which we will be worsted at every
trial upon every bubble that we can adj
vance.
Are the people Of Virginia prepared to
see the State put in this attitude when
there is a plain way to avoid it?
We feel sure that they are not, and we
are equally certain that it is the duty OF
the representatives Of the people to ex-
plain the situation frankly.

Ex-President Arthur was great fish
erman. Once, when he was vice-Presl-
dent, he and Sergeant-at-Arms Dick
Bright, and Senator Vest, two other IA
nous Waltonians, were talking of fishing,
in Dicks office, during lull in the pro-
ceeding. A newspaper man present,
when it came to his turn, told how he
caught trout near Salt Lake City, and with
a back-cast threw the fish into the boiling
spring and cooked it on the line.
Vest and Dick got mad, but Mr.. Arthur
begged leave to present the story-teller
with book in admiration of his skill.
When he got the present it was an illu-
minated copy of Baron Munchausen.

Disestablishment in Great Britain.


The conference of Mr. Gladstone's fol-
lowers at Leeds was undismayed by the
sly tactics of Lord Randolph Churchill,
who had just before persuaded the Con-
servatives at Bradford to sanction most
of the reforms which had previously con-
stituted the Liberal stock in trade. There
remained certain propositions which
British radicals have for some time looked
upon with favor, but which no Tory
minister could afford to countenance.
One of these is the demand for the dis
establishment of the Anglican Church in
Wales, and it is this which the Glad
stonians intend to play as their trump
card i'm the next session of Parliament.
This movement may undoubtedly be
justified by cogent argument and recent
precedent. The members of the Anglican
communion represent a much smaller frac-
ton of the population in the Welsh prin-
cipality than they did or do in the king
dom of Ireland The protestant Dissent
ers have an even stronger claim to regard
themselves as the bulk of the Welsh peo-
pie, than the Irish Catholics had in 1868
TO challenge the Difference due to nu-
merical preponderance. Every reason
given for extinguishing the official char
acter, and confscating the endowments OF
the English church in Ireland, is applica-
bic with much greater force to the sup
preston of the Anglican establishment in
Wales.-Nelo York San.

A TORY LAND-BILL FOR IRELAND.
Features of "a Scheme the Salisbury Cabinet
is Preparing.


A committee of the English Cabinet,
composed of Lord Randolph Churchill,
Sir Michael ks-Beach, Lord Ash
bourne, and the Right Hon William Henry
Smith. is preparing a land-bi for Ireland.
The first draft is based upon an extension
of the AshbOurne act. 1t limits tenants
purchase of land to holdings under sixty
acres. If the commission sanctions the
transfer the imperial treasury will advance
the amount, the commission paying four
fifths to the landlord and retaining the
other fifth until the tenants annual in
stalments amount to one-tfth Of the stip-
ulated sum. The tenants repayments
shall extend over thirty years, with
interest at per cent. per annum, as III
the Ashbourne act. The total necessary
to be guaranteed by the Treasury is esti-
mated at f25,0O0,00O. The sales under
the Ashbourne act having already eX-
hausted the parliamentary grant of 20,
100000, it is reported that the Govern
ment, trusting to Parliaments retrospect
tive sanction, has ordered the Treasury to
continue to make advances. If the re-
port be true this action exposes the Gov
eminent to a critical attack for breach
of the Constitution.
