TIE ANTI-SALOON CONFERENCE.

The second National Anti-Saloon Republican
Conference assemblies in this city to-day. This
movement was organized In Chicago in 1885
and has had steady and healthy growth. Its
leaders are practical reformers not unreasoning
extremists They believe that the Republican
party which was the outcome Of moral ideas,
and whose splendid career has been worthy Of
its origin is the natural instrument by which
temperance reform can be best secured. They
are out of sympathy with the Third Party
movement, holding that it was born in indis-
erection and is calculated to defeat the very
cause to which it is devoted. They recognize
that the motives Of the rank and file OF the
Third Party are unselfsh. But they suspect
that the influences that control it are political
rather than philanthropic; that its course is
being shaped by those who are more bent on
building up distinct political organization
than in effectively fighting the liquor evil.
But even if the Third Party was not open to
this criticism the Anti-Saloon Republicans
would still oppose it, since it has adopted
policy which has helped the Democratic party
the recognized ally of the rum power-but
has retarded the progress Of temperance.
In the call for this second National Anti
Saloon Republican Conference the ground
which the preceding conference asked the Re-
publican party to take is thus summarized:
The saloon Is the enemy Of society and ought to be
suppressed; the people of each State and municipality
ought to have the opportunity whenever DESIRED OF do
Gliding when and how this shall be done until destroyed
the saloon ought DO crippled by every restraint aud
disability which loo al public sentiment will enforce and
made to reimburse as much as possible OF the public
loss It causes.
The reform sentiment of the country heartily
indorses these demands The Republicans
of this State, through their representatives in
the Legislature in passing the High-License
bill and related legislation. have shown that
they can be depended upon to promote the
Anti-Saloon movement as thus outlined. And
what is true of the Republicans OF New-York
is true of Republicans generally
THE TRIBUNE welcomes the conference to
New-York. The metropolis does not indeed
cut much of a figure regarded as an Anti
Saloon centre. But the fact that it is Demo-
cratic stronghold perfectly explains why it
does not. The meeting of earnest, level
headed temperance Republicans from all parts
of the country cannot fail TO be attended with
salutary results 1t will deepen and widen the
reform sentiment in the Republican party, and
by so doing will be calculated to induce sensi-
BILE men who have deserted to the Third Party
to return to their allegiance.

An Inadequate supply of materials which couio
be subjected to the rigorous tests prescrbed
by the inspectors. The same causes opera'eo
AGAINST the completion of the Roach cruisers
ub;cb were built simultaneously in single
ward whereas the work now In progress Is uiS-
tributed among four yards in as many cities.
We consider IL not unlikely that the con-
tractors who are unable to keep their engage
ments with the Government this year have not
been al fault, and that under an e9ultaoie
settlement with the Department they could pc
relieved wholly or in part from the payment OF
,bs penalties incurred. The Administration
will do well to relax the strict letter OF the bond
in all cases where the contractors have been
impeded by the rigid requirements of the in
spectors respecting material and by necessary
delay in obtaining steel Of the highest Stahdaru
from the rolling mills.
It is confidently expected by the Department
that the five cruisers now building Will DO
faster and more formidable vessels than the
Roach ships. They ought to be better SHIPS
for they will cost much more in proportion TO
tonnage, and arc in every respect more am
bitously designed. Naturally there Will be
steady improvement in model, engines and
batteries as the new navy is enlarged year by
year. The Roach vessels were never regarded
by their designers as anything more than COM
promise types of naval architecture They
marked the opening stage Of the construction
of new feet, and American naval designers
would have lost their cunning if they had not
been able to improve upon them'in every re-
spect. All public spirited citizens will rejoice
II the new cruisers prove as fast as the 20-knot
Spanish vessel which has recently been COM
peted, and certainly the Department Will
demonstrate its own incompetence if it does
not surpass in speed the Roach vessels. In the
same way new Administration ought to be
able to improve upon the designs for the two
battle ships which are soon to be begun in the
Government yards. Naval architecture is
progressive art. Each new administration OF
the British Admiralty profits by the experience
of the last one, and higher standards OF speed,
strength and fighting power are constantly es-
tabished The same results should be secured
in the Navy Department. Delay in the COM
pletion Of vessels is matter Of trivial inn
portance in comparison with the founding OF
new industries and the symmetrical develop
ment Of the Nations naval resources.

Mayor Hewitts motive in sitting the matter
of the sublcttng Of Aqueduct contracts is ex-
,elent, but it is doubtful whether anything
will come of it. The contractors have probably
been too shrewd to leave loophole open where
by the law can get its clutches ON them. That
the contracts were practically sublet is noto-
rius. Nominally. however, the sub-contractors
play the role of superintendent" If the
contractors have violated the conditions Of
their agreements in such way as to forfeit
their claims on the city, they have not the
sagaci.y with which they are popularity
credited.

were fifteen Democrats who saw fit to vote
against it. Why they did so is not clear. The
Senate has still to act on, this desirable meas

sured. Governor Hill may rake up reason
for vetoing it; but if he does so 1t will not be
