The MnrId,s Convention.

In the opinion of Rev Dr. Talmage,
the whole world can be converted from
It's sins aud brought 20 a saving know
ledge Of Christ within the next ten
years. He means that il could be done
were all the Christians in tho world 10
abandon theit secular concerns, Join ac-
lively in the crusade, and make a massed
charge, as it were, upon the strongholds
of Satan.
Such a movement, If inaugurated and
successfully carried out, would, Of course,
solve the millennial problem right away,
and introduce the era of universal right
eousness at a much earlier period in hui
man history than has hitherto been sup
posed. Indeed, there is "A great deal or
uncertainty and wild speculation in mel =
minds Ks TO the date Of the millennlal
period. and most men who have allowed
themselves to become tangled up in the
%cOnundrum have wisely concluded that
eft was altogether too much for them.
Others content themselves in "A general
way with the conclusion that if a mi
lennium il ever 20 be il is too remote in
the future 10 be even guessed at, much
less to be measured by any definite cal
culatiOn.
DR.. Talmage, however, %disposes Of
the matter with an ease that causes rs
10 wonder there was ever any difficulty
about il. He has reduced the problem
10 a single "if.' "If' all the Christians
in the world will lend "A hand to the
scheme its speedy accomplishment IL as
sured. the twentieth century will dawn
upon the earth's redemption and sin
will be no more.
The great trouble IS that Christians,
AZ a rule, are not endowed with so san
guine a temperament OF muscular form
OF zeal as the good pastor OF the Brook
lyn Tabernacle, and not 80 capable OF
hauling sinners into the fold wholesale
and by main strength. There is a good
deal more Of St. Peter in our Christian
ity than there is Of 81. Paul, and in a
good deal OF ii, we sometimes think,
more Of II. Coupon than of ST. John.

He has preferred to deal generously with the
contractor, to grant four months extension OF
time for the completion of the Charleston, and
to do everything in his power to enable the
ship to develop the required horsepower and
speed. This is wise and patriotic policy, for
it is vastly more important for the country to
have the best possible ships and to have nnem-
barrassed shipbuilders who can furnish more
of them, as they may be required, than it is
for the Republican Administration to score a
point against the Democratic Administration.
Mr.. Whitney in his day did not take this broad
view of the subject. For the sake Of party ad-
vantage he declared war on successful con-
tractor, closed great shipyard, and discredited
the best engineering and expert talent of the
Department One exhibition Of that sort OF
partisansbip in naval affairs ought to suffice for
this generation.

pensive establishments has been questioned by
Englishmen of practical instincts whenever
there has been marriage in the Queens FAM
lily. II there has been gradual growth OF
republican sentiment during the present reign,
il has been promoted by the increasing cost Of
maintaining the royal family. Englishmen, MS
they have counted the expense, have asked
themselves whether monarchy was worth all
that il cost. If they have not been able to
argue down their doubts, they have ordinarily
consoled themselves with the reflection that
monarchy must not be maintained on shabby
genteel basis, but with an approach to splendor
and with q studous regard for appearances.
ANY other than respectable, well-conditioned
and thoroughly equipped royal house would be
a disgrace to England; and for this reason the
grants for marriage settlements are invariably
confirmed by Parliament 1t remains perhaps
an open question whether the prestige of mon
archy does not suffer from the continuous APP
pearance of royal mendicants upon the scene
appealing for State aid. Is it impossible for
princes to live within their means and to lay by
something for their childrens marriage-feasts

rprTU 1ROUT THE CHARLESTON.

Mr.. Scott, the enterprsing manager of the
Union Iron Works, has blurted out the truth
bout the English-Amcrican Navy. He frank
" acknowledges the failure Of the Charleston to
develop the required horsepower, and holds
the late Secretary of the Navy responsible for
the costly changes that have been made in the
machinery He states that after the purchase
of the English plans Mr.. Whitney learned that
the japanese cruiser, Naniwn- Kan, which was
Hhe model for the Charleston, had only sue
rceeded in making the requisite horse power and
speed after twenty-five trials and numerous
alterations. The original plans wore purchased,
and consequently the blunders have been re-
peated in the construction of the Charleston.
Mr. Scott pointed out the defects and suggested
various alterations, but Mr. Whitney refused
to sanction any deviatiOns from the designs,
apparently being apprehensive lest English
shipbuilders should shift the responsibility for
the failure of the ship upon the American con-
tractor and the Navy Department. The vessel
has been completed, but her first trial trip was
not successful owing to the miscalculations of
the designers Extensive alterations have been
ordered at the expense Of the Government, and
it is now hoped that the contract requirements
in horsepower and speed can be complied with.
1t is fortunate for Mr.. Whitney's reputation
that his successor is broad minded Cabinet
officer, who scorns to sacrifice the interests Of
the Nation to the ends of narrow partisanship.
Secretary Tracy, if he had chosen to initiate
his predecessors tactics in condemning the
Roach vessels, could have succeeded in expos
ing the reckless mismanagement Of the De-
partment in the purchase of defective plans
and in the subsequent refusal Of Mr.. Whitney
to allow alterations to be made In the designs.
