REAL ESTATE ACTITITY.

The activity In real estate at Ncw-York
has been most gratifying to those engaged
in that business. The records show that prop
crtv valued at about $2OOOOOOOO has changed
hands in this city alone since the year began,
and that buildings have been begun which are
cxpcc,ed to cost about $45,OOO,OOO. The in
crease in amount Of sales, compared with the
prcyious year, has been about % per cent, and
tne increase in cost of buildings projected
nearly 40 per cent.
But it is well to remember that this activity
in real estate dealings and the advance IN
prices of land. dwellings, and buildings occu-
pied for industrial or commercial purposes
has It's unfavorabc side. 1t threatens higher
cost Of living and higher cost OF production
in New-Yorl as compared with other COM
netting points. 1t is true that a similar actlv-
ity in real estate operations has appeared al
some other cities. But if there has been a
corresponding activity everywhere else, and
corresponding advance in prices, the ciec'
unon the financial and industrial condition oil
tie country must prove important. The as
sesscd valuation Of property in Ncw-York III
1880 was about 91s millions, out of about
300 millions in the whole State If sales
of real estate amounting TO 200 millions have
been effected in only part of the year at New
York, at an advance of something like "a
per cent in prices, and if similar changes have
occurred elsewhere, il is easy to estimate tha
the amount of capital withdrawn from othcl
employmcnts and permanently fixed in rea
estate must have been very large. The add
ton to the cost of production and to the cos
of living will in the end prove serious I'M
pcdinent

Secretary Whitney has purchased English
designs for vessels which he is to build FOR
the Navy lie has deliberately discredited
American naval architects. In his Judgment
they are incompetent to design either ships
or engines that will yield the highest attain
able speed. In order TO obtain cruisers that
will be the fastest aloat he has considered ii
necessary TO buy models and designs from
w. H. White. Director of Naval Construction
in England. Mr.. White has been associated
with Sir n Barnaby in designing some Of the
newest vessels for the British Navy. Their
success, if we may Judge from hostile crit
icism Of naval experts, has not been decisive.
Their designs have been condemned by some
Of the wcghtiest organs of naval opinion
The heads of the Construction Department,
whose models have been snatched up by Sec
rotary Whitney as the highest types of naval
architecture, are charged by experts with max
ing the gravest miscalculations in their designs
and with deliberately misleading the Parlia-
mcntary members of the Board of Admiralty.
Lord George Hamilton recently admitted in
the House Of Commons that the difference
between the actual and the designed draught
Of the beltcd cruiser ImpcrieuSe was IL l-2
inches, but explained this undue immersion

would have resulted from the additional weight
of the engines 1t declares that if this fact
had been considered, the designers must have

nor less, according to The Voice, than the puo-
LEGATION by THE TRIBUNE of that very IN

arc disposed to believe that The Voice is right
in asserting the influence Of that interview
unon mblc opinion in Maine, for 1t certainly
did constitute damaging exposure OF the I'M
reason, insincerty and Inconsistency OF the
third party. 1t is not often that man tangles
himself up as hopeessly as Neal Dow did IN
that perfectly genuine interview. The truth
was-and all who read it saw it-that the old
prohibitionist could not justify his position at
all when brought face to face with the actual
facts
That interview made it clear to all VINO
could put two and two together that malice
against the Republican party had much more
TO do with the third-party action IN
Maine than love for the temperance
cause. A more indelenslb|c. impohtlc

was taken than that led by General Dow in
the late campaign, and the result of the election
proves that the third party has sustained q
crpplirg. if not a fatal. blow in the stronghold
Of Prohibition. No wonder The Voice uttcrs
uncertain and contradictory sounds under the
circumstances. A much better trained Voice
might lie spoiled by such disaster. For the

Well. it will not take many such to end the
present third-party malignlty and folly. The
people who want third party more than they
want temperance are being found out.
