SECRETARY WH1TNER'S REPORT.

The MINER is in receipt of the report of
Secretary OF the Navy Whitney, which, of
course, deals largely in what is being done
to build up the navy of the country. A
glance at the report is sufficient to show
that the Secretary is continually adding
to his reputation as a wise and enterprising
executive, determined to create a real
and to dispense with unnecessary red tape.
In this connection it may be stated that
his efforts have been so earnest and well d.
rected that no more is heard of the mar.
row criticism made upon his course in ex-
aiming the plans of the best war vessels
OF foreign governments and builders, and
avail himself OF the latest advances in the
sciences OF naval construction and gun
merry, no matter where made. It is so
plainly the duty Of our Government to
omit nothing that can give us a frst-class
fleet that no one has been found stupid
enough to heed the ultra protection howl
raised by men whose patriotism is all in
their own pockets
In concentrating in one bureau OF finance
and acconnts the control of all purchasers
and disbursements for the Navy and Ma
rine Corps Nh. Whitney has mace an inno-
walton which will not only fix more definitely
executive responsibility and increase the ef-
fciency OF the department staff, but will
also effect q large economy through the
difference between the cost of scattered
purchases at retail as made in the past
and the OUTLAWS for future buyings at
wholesale under contract for delivery at
central points. Excepting as to perisha-
BILE stores currently required for vessels on
foreign stations, all furnishing of naval
supplies will be concentrated under this
control.
The Secretary has asked for authority
carry into other branches OF his admin
istrative force the system established re-
expenditures. SO that the depart
ment may be separated into three divi-
sions, one having supervision of material
and construction, and a second of the
movements Of fleets and the personnel of
the service, and the third of finance and
accounts, as above described. These rec.
concentrations are among the things that
Congress cannot afford to neglect un6er
the plea OF lack of time. There is no real
difficulty about passing a bill giving the
secretary the authority necessary for effec-
live reorganization, and the committee on
naval affairs should make haste to perfect
'uch q measure and place it before the
House Immediately after the opening of
he session.

The faculty Of being "equal to the occa-
sion" says the New York World, is char
acteristically American, and is the direct
result OF our benificent institutions, which
open wide the door Of opportunity to all,
and give men the chance to learn how to
to do things by doing them. Notable in
stances Of this ability to meet new and
tremendous responsibilities are seen in the
careers of Lincoln and Grant, and though
less remarkably, yet very %creditably, in
the case of President Arthur.

The Sport Spoiled.

A correspondent writes The MINER from
Wickes under date of Saturday last:
BILLY Lynn, the Butte pugilist, came over
here TO fight Jack Rowell. After Lynn
came forward with his money to put up
and make the match Rowell and his friends
backed out. Billy Lynn is well thought of
here. He is a gentleman and can get all
the money he wants to put up. Rowell's
friends thought they could run a bluff.
When Lynn's money was put up they shut
up and Rowell left Wickes. Lynn has more
money than any fighter in the coun-
try. He is worth $4,000 and he is in the
saloon business here and don't drink or
use tobacco.

A Sprightly Little News-note From
that Busy Section.

This coy hamlet, oncet the center of hope
and great expectations, seems to have a
boom in the near future. Several pros
poets are being worked with a good show
ing. The Kit Carson mine has just been
bonded for a million of dollars. Eleven
tons of the ore was shipped netting 1000
pounds, 800 pounds of the ore netting
$3.50 per pound. Very little work has
been done on the mine for some time.

A movement is on foot to make Judge
Gresham. of Indiana, the Republican can
didate for President in 1888. 1t is based
upon the mistaken idea that he can carry
Indiana, and that he is the only Republi.

ment and no personal or political enemies.
His high character and great ability, to-
gether with his fine official record and
personal popularity will make him a
strong man, but the day has passed when
any Republican can be elected to the chief
magistracy Of the nation. The next Presi.
dent will be q Democrat.

The course Of the British postofice, as
shown by THE MINER dispatches a day or
two ago, in rejecting American postal cards
upon which printed addresses are pasted
is a stupidity that must astonish the shade
Of Rowland Hill. The technicality relic l
on is the provision Of the international
postal agreement that nothing but a post
age stamp should be affixed to a card. A
like construction of similar provisions OF
the international law of either country
would exclude nearly all newspapers from
the mails.

or grand-daughters of the late Baroness
were mentioned in the letters of invi-
tation. The collateral male relatives
were also omitted. All the Naples,
