The important article on the Brit sh
Navy, by Sir Edward Reed, which at
tracted much attention in the February
Harpcr's, and the description of the
oI> IN establishment in March, will be
owed in the June number by time
paper on the u. S. Navy. by Rear
admiral Edward Simpson, of the Navy
Department at Washington, with
large number of excellent illustrations.
The history of our navy is briefly
\ sketched, and the record is one that
AUncle Sam need not be ashamed o..
But as one reads of its present deplor-
able condition, every patriot must re
gret the indifference and Stagnation
which have left US far behind the age.
Previous to last year our navy consisted
only of thirty two wooden vessels, two
iron sloops of war, and a few old print
tive monitors. in 1888 the construc.
ton of three steam cruisers and dis
patch boat, with steel plates. was
authorized. These vessels are the
Chicago, Boston, and Atlanta, which
are nearly finished. and the Dolphin.
now doing service. With the construc-
ton of these vessels the manufacture of
steel plates for ships began in this
country. This feeble array constitutes
the present naval force of the United
States. We have not one armor-c clad
man-of war (the old single-turreted
monitors not being considered as hav-
ing any efficiency, and the ordnance
and equipments are ridiculously behind
the age. 1t would be impossible for us
10 cope even with some of the smaller
powers in our own hemisphere, and the
naval ornaments of Europe make our
deficiency humiliation. Public opin-
ion is stirring Congress to action, and
the article mentions some important
improvements which arc in operation.
1t is to be hoped that this able paper
will hasten the adjustment of our navy
TO the age # Steel.
