Democracy and the Navy.

completed the four Roach cruisers in 1885
If it had resisted the temptations of par
tisanship and had displayed energy and
capacity. Three years have elapsed and
only two of these vessels are in service,
ono Of them having its armament useless
by reason of the ignorance and blunders
of the ordnance bureau. The other two
are still in the navy yard awaiting their
guns. ostonsibly because tho appropria-
tions for their armament have been In
sufficient. The passage Of the deficiency
bill with $4,000 for the needed guns
leaves the department without shred
Of excuse for obstructing and delay
ing the armament of these vessels. The
work should be undertaken at once, and
tho Atlanta's battery also be rendered
serviceable. II the administration wishes
to pursue a policy Of adventure abroad,
let it at least send some of the steel
cruisers, which are Of modern construction
and fairly fast and formidable. A naval
review of tho old hulks off tho coast Of
Morocco Is not impressive.-New York
