ALGER ATTACKED.

Referring to the Alger boom, the New
York Evening Post says 1.-THE history of
our politics contains nothing to com
pare with the phenomenal assurance
with which this lumberman asks for the
highest Office in the land" If the Post
has nothing worse than that to urge
against Alger, it would act the part of
wisdom to be silent. The phenomenal
assurance" of lumberman asking for
any Office in this country is nothing so
sinful or so much out of the way as to
need severe comment. A rail-splitter
had the phenomenal assurance" to
ask for and ge til highest office
in this country and later
on his position fell to, 'lor. After
this We had tanner. the. a poultry
raiser, then tow-path runner, then a
country school teacher; and all these.
with the exception of the chicken
rancher, were great and good Presi-
dents, the last one referred to being in
some respects the best of all and a
slayer. The Post is edited by man
who was born in an aristocratic
despotism and evidently is not imbued
with the spirit of our simple forms
and methods, and the sooner he COM
mences to learn something thereof the
better for him. 1t is not being a
lumberman that is against Alger, by a
great deal, or he might go in without a
protest or dissenting voice; it is
actual, not constructive unftness, that
is urged against the Michigander, and
that he can't get there is owing not to
what he was but to what he is.

IT WAS an unmannerly thing on the
part OF the Chicago Convention claquers
to suppress Tom Fitch just as the silver
tongued coaster was getting down
nicely to his WORK. He is a better
speaker than Ingersoll and is white
man; yet the inidel and the negro
Douglass were listened TO attentively
while he was cut short as ne was pro-
ceedlng to fire at them a sentence like
"the silyer-ribbed, snc w-crowned SEN
tinels which guard the growing, resist
less west" Or some such thing.

The BULLDoZING of pages in the
House of Representatives at Washing
ton by Dorsey is of piece with much
of the Republican work that is going
on every day. He caused the kids"
to suppress their red bandannos by
telling them that the next House would
be Republican and that if they expected
to get employment then they would do
well not to make their party pre-
ferences quite so conspicuous now.
OF course the boys were scared into
submission, for they don't want to
lose their positions and are not old
enough to understand the methods
adopted by Republicans, so the Thur
man handkeIchiefs disappeared.
Democrats generally prefer to achieve
victories over men, but when Republic
cans can do no better they will tackle
boys and we should't be bit surprised
to hear OF their canvassing babes in
their cradles before they quit.

OUR NAVY.

A great deal of fun has been poked al
the United States Navy. 1t has even
been suggested that we, as o people,
are greatly disposed to talk about and
be uneasy over nothing, and that our
navy approaches that subject as nearly
as anything can and be visible. The
fact is, that all this talk and
satire and frettlng has been pro
ductive of good, for we already
have the beginning of a first-class
floating armament and everything
points to continued effort and ex-
penditure until our war craft on the
sea can be so strong that it will no,
be sneezed at or otherwise insulted
without great danger to those who do
so. 1t appears that the naval appro-
priation bill will contain an item of
$4,000, 900 for the beginning of additional
war vessels. 81 100000 for construction
and $2,000,000 for armament. -Four
new ships are to be begun, two of which
are to be unarmored cruisers OF 3 900
tons each, with guaranteed speed of
nineteen knots. These will be of the
same sizs as the atlanta and Boston,
and will have a speed four knots
greater. The third of the new vessels is
to be an unarmored cruiser of $500
tons displacement and guaranteed

A RECENT issue of tbs New York
World says that Mr.. Depew has grown
in grace wonderfully since reaching
Chicago. He has learned by personal
contact with the representatives from
the Granger States of the Northwest
that the hostility to railway magnates
and corporation representatives is not
so great as it was in that section a few
years ago. And so, after Characters
tic speech in the New York caucus in
which he said that he was not monop-
olist but wished to heaven he was, it
was decided to put him up for Pres
ident and give him the solid vote of the
Empire State. Thus MIR. Depew finds
himself a candidate for President. We
are all proud of Chauncey as Favorite
Son, and we admire him for the skill,
with which he has suppressed Platt and
tanned the Changers" Yesterday morn
ing's issue of our brilliant New York
contemporary doubtless contained
something on the same subject, but
in a somewhat different strain. Chaun-
cey didn't tame the Changers to any
great extent, and thought it convenient
to step down and out when he found
his chances for the nomination no bet
ter than if he hadn't dollar in the
world

A RECENT number of the New York
Mail and ErpresS contained the fol-
lowing ejaculation at the head of its
editorial columns: "Hallelujahi For the
Lord our God, the Almighty reigneth.'
This is in juxtaposition to lot of Re
publican trash, and would be bias
phemous, even if it were Democratic.
What is the use of trying to subdue1 the
Police Gazettep and Glike publications

a professedly respectable daily

speed of twenty knots. The fourth will
be an armored battleship of 1000 tons
and a speed of not less than seventeen
kpots.
This would make twenty-six new
vessels all told, and these would con-
stitute an immense squadron indie
pendent of the old washtubs
which have to have new st an
fastened about them every time thew
go on cruise. The object is to pat the
country in a thoroughly Offensive or
defensive condition on the sea, Just as
occasion may require; that is, to have a
| navy that can either fight or run, can
stand in or stand off, whichever cir
cumstances may seem most strongly to
4 demand, 1t all goes to show that we
can do a good deal when we get right
| down to it, and it needs little alarm,
such as sent a slight tremor through
the land when the announcement was
cabled that Great Britain was to send
\ few men-oi-war TO the scene of the
fisheries troubles, to kindle the furnace
fires, put the blasts in shape, make the
welkin ring with the porderous blows
of trip-hammers and set every part
Of the machinery necessary to the
construction of defensive measures in
active and vigorous motion. We can
all understand how apparently slight a
task it was when an emergency came
to not only construct battle
craft but invent an entirely
new style, one that was laughed at
when it did appear and until it got to
WORK, when the laughter suddenly
ceased and a cheer born of new hope
followed it. That was the Monitor. And
if we could do so much in crisis,
when We we're pushed for time, money
and materials, what ought we to be
able to accomplish at our leisure, with
more means than we can properly
handle and materials of all kinds in ex.

Ad is not mentally trained

IN look ,ag for in the almost absolute
RUE OF great nation; who is preju-
Iced against the country of his mother,

contempt; it is hardly, we say, to be
expected OF such person that he will

wonder will grow out of the fact,
if such a fact there should
happen to be, that he has
succeeded in satisfying anybody. 1t is
not the man himself, but the position
he holds, with its attendant powers,
duties and responsibilities, that makes
the interested and watchful ones
nervous. He is known to be of
militant disposition, possessing q
nature whose first impulse in the
presence of opposition or danger is not
diplomacy or the arts of the states
man, but resort to the stern arbitra-
ment of arms. This is abundantly
shown, if no other evidence were attain
able, in his proclamation to the army

THE HERALD is not giving advice now;
but when William II. reads this issue
and this article, we hope he will re-
member that it is safe course to pur-
sue to be moderate and levelheaded;
and that when a person can't write an
article, especially so important a docu-
ment as national proclamation, with
out knocking syntax, system and Co

The IMPRESSION is gaining ground that
the last report of the death of Henry
NJ. Stanley is correct and that the in
trepid explorer has at last met the de.
stroyer amid the jungle of the dark
continent. The severity of the blow is
not blunted or softened by the fact that
we have heard it frequently and that
under the circumstances it was no
more than might be looked for at any
time; no, it is a loss to humanity at
large, to the United States in particu-
lar aud to the domain of exploration
and science. which is likely to be felt
for many years to come.

He is also a moral man, seemingly
placing a high estimate upon the
marriage state. In his Chicago Con-
vention speech on Friday he said {:
"No single man, whatever his capae-
