SECRETARY UHITNEYS REPORT

Secretary Whitney shows 80 many signs OF
Improvement in ideas and methods that he
disarms criticism. His annual report contains
some passages that are characterized by a
pettifogging spirit and others III which the facts
are distorted by parti3anship; but in the main
1t is an admirable document, judiciOus in
recon- mendatiOns, lucid in exposition. and
sound in its conclusions. 1t Civ rs III genuine
pleasure to be able to support most of the
Secretary's positions and to speak favorably of
the report, since it has so often been necessary
for THE TRIBUNE TO criticise and even to
deuounce his dealings with American ship
builders.
The Secretary now processes to be anxious to
provide the country with an efficient navy. to
promote and If necessary to create in this
country the new industries that are requisite,
and to foster American shipbuildng. The
TRIBUNE can have no quarrel with him so long
as he pursues his present course. When he
promises to furnish better ships than have
previously been built aud stpulates that they
shall be constructed and armed here, the
necessary industries such as the manufacture
of armor-plates aud the forging OF high
powered guns being brought IN and protected,
he leaves no ground for structures upon the
broad lines of his policy. The Republican
party will aid him in carrying out his RECON-
mendatons for securing better ships. rapid
increase of the navy. and the manufacture of
armor and the guns needed for powerful
feet. Its represent natives in Congress will vote
for all measures having these high ends in
view. They will not follow the short-sighted
aud niggardly policy of the Democratic party
in granting inadequate supplies to Repub-
lcan Administration for beginning the
construction of the new navy.
There are evidences IN the Secreiarys report
of unfairness In estimating the value of the
ships contracted for by his predecessor. He
knows that the Dolphin, Atlanta and their
sister ships were not designed AS ideal vessels
of the highest speed. Congress would not
make appropriations Mt the outset for vessels
Of the frat rank. These ships we're designed

LECTURE OR CONCERTf

We sincerely trust that the contest which is to
take place in Boston next January may not cul
inmate in gore, but we are not so sure Mr. D.
F. Rand announces a course of select entertain
mens. Some of the entertainments are grand
concerts" some are popular lectures One OF
the dates reserved by the manager Of the course
is left blank and the advertisement states that the
entertainment for that evening will either be
grand concert or lecture by Rev. DR.. May nard-
TO be decided by the audience" Is there not the
promise and potency of bloodshed in tie response
bility thus cast on the coming audience that Is to
be called to choose between a concert and lee
ture? We shall hope for the best, but we have
our apprehensions.
OF course if that eminent ex-ctizen of Boston,
John Lawrence Sullivan. lends his presence TO the
occasion in question: hostllities may readily be
az erted, especially if 1t comes to be generally I'M
derstood that he has trained for the emergency
When the interesting evening arrives let Dir. Sui
Ivan arise in the audience in fighting costume and
quietly but firmly state what it is he has made
UP his mind to hear If he says concert, concert
il will be likely to be. If he says lecture, the
Rev. DR.. Maynard can proceed without fear of in
terrription. But if Mr. Sullivans engagements
viii not permit him to be present. there may be
an awful time. A large number of people in Bos-
ton are fond of lectures, while thousands Of the
population have good and cultured ear for
music. If the lecture party packs the gallery and
the music party packs the floor while
the plat form contains mixed assemblage, Boston
is likely to witness an excitement without
parallel since the day when the tea was put to
steep in the harbor. The machinery for collect
ing that sort of vote is apt TO be defective
while Chez is nothiny in the constitution or laws
Of Massachusetts which provides for the punish
ment of the concert lecture repeater or which tends
fo;,
tor of elections. And suppose there should be
tie. what thenp Will the audience be treated both
TO the lecture and the concert, to neither?
The Mayor of Boston is understood to be man
for an emergency, while the police of the city are
fearless and vigilant. So perhaps there Is no
cause for alarm. To an outsider, however 1t
seems that It would be simply prudent measure
in the circumstances for the Of the enter
tanments to insist that on the evening OF The
decision ladies and gentlemen shall not be allowed
to enter the hall wearing brass knuckes or carry
ing guns that they didn't know were loaded
