OUR NEED FOR A NAVY.
Prof. soley ON Our Standing as Neutra
Power.

Prof. Soley ON Our Standing as y Neutral
Power.
When belligerents are spurred on by
the demands of so-called military me-
cessity, the clamor of neutrals falls upon
deaf ears, unless the neutrals are power
full enough to compel attention. 1t is a
common mistake with Americans to sup
pose that their country is one of these
powerful states. AS far as available in
struments are concerned, we are abso-
lutely helpless To be of any effect in
such case, the force must be actual and
visible, and ready for immediate use
The absurd little fleet of half a dozen
war ships to which our navy has dwin-
died counts for nothing in the preserva-
ton and yindication of neutral rights
while war is in progress. Politicians,
business men and voters may take that
fact for what it is worth to them individ-
ually, but they cannot deny that it is q
fact.
The great statesmen who directed our
affairs at the close of the last century
and the beginning of this, shaped the
mould in which the law of neutrality
was cast for all time, and the service they
rendered by the force of their character,
their fair-mindedness and their intelli-
gence, although representing u state in
its infancy, is recognized by publicists
the world over. Yet in respect to the
controversies then at issue, to the rights
of individual Americans which were set
at naught by unscrupulous belligerents,
they could accomplish little or nothing.
Why? Simply because year after year
they adhered to their policy of unarmed
neutrality, as it may be called, until they
were finally driven to fighting With the
United States today there need be no
question of fighting if it pursues its true
policy, of armed neutrality-if it brings
it's fleet up to the old normal standard of
from eighty to one hundred vessels of
war. But so long as its sea COAST cities
and its immense maritime interests re-
main unprotected as at present, its popu-
lation, It's area, its credit, its wealth. and
all other elements of potential strength,
will serve but little purpose In securing q
respectful hearing from belligerent ag-
gressors.-ScrtbRer's Magazine,

A Motion to "squash. ;.

Colonel M, Commonwealth's At
torney for county, had unbounded
influence over the presiding justice of the
County Court under the system. B.
young lawyer, had been retained to de-
fend prisoner, and discovering what he
conceived to be q fatal defect in the in
dictment, submitted motion to quash.
He was proceeding to sustain his point
as best he could when the presiding JUS
tice, a fat old fellow, settled himself in his
chair and fell asleep The argument pro-
ceeded, and at its close ''the Squire"
reused up, and rubbing his eyes, said,
Squash 'er."
Colonel M was on his feet in q mo-
ment, and inquired. with much asperity,
"Do understand this Court as sustain
ing the motion to quash my indicJment?,
HOhl No, Kurnil," said the Squire. II
squashes the motion to squash. "--Hnr-

WANKEN's FOND HOPES.
DIV Kern Endorsed Potts and Nelson
in the Fifth District.

J pw Kern Endorsed Potts and Nelson
in the Fifth District.
The story of how Potts secured the en-
basement OF the Kerrites for Assembly
in the Fifth district has been brought to
The surface by the publication in the
Journal OF the story of James O'Brien's
failure to pay the men he employed to
Gopy the registry lists for the Kern
crowd
The Journals story is that Mr.. O'Brien
had excused his alleged delinquency by
saying to his men that he had not vet re-
ceived his money for the work, and that
for that reason he had not beeu able to
settle up with them. It represents, too,
that Kern called at the Journal office
and showed O'Brien's receipt for the
money.
The fact is that O'Brien's men were en-
gagged on the lists Wednesday, Th ursday
Friday and Saturday of the week before
last, and Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day Of last week. The Kern Committee
met on Friday Of the week before last,
and O'Brien's bill was only for the SER
vice up to that time. He acknowledges
that he received the money, and shows
ahe receipts OF as many ofSthe men he EN-
ployed as he has been able to find. For
the services rendered by the men to the
committee on Saturday and Monday,
4uC5ddJ dAO w EuuCSQtty uO ilOuCy udS
yet been paid him; and of course none
has been paid. O'Brien is still waiting
for it, and his men are waiting too.
This growl against O'Brien is provoked
by the fact that Kern has.not been able to
keep his Fifth district Kickers in line on
the Assembly nomination. His delegates
got together, in compliance with formal
call, and endorsed Aymar for Assembly
and Pairson for Freeholder. The Repub-
licaus went before Kern's Committee,
and, in answer to their protest, the COM
mittee threw the two candidates
overheard and ordered the delegates
to reasSemble for the purpose
of endorsing Potts, the Republi-
can candidate for Assembly, and
Nelson, the Republican candidate for
Freebooter Well, the delegates got to-
gether again. but instead of doing as they
had been hidden to do, they for the second
time endorsed Aymar and Pairson Kern
soured on them at once; ordered his COM
miitee to put Potts and Nelson s names on
the tickets in spite of the action of the
district convention, ana as Mr. O'Brien
was one of the mutinous district dele
gates, has delayed, if not refused the
payment of his bill.
The publication of the story about
O'Brien is said to have been procured by
Wanken, one of kern's chief heelers
Wanken is very anxious to have Assem-
: blymen who are pledged to the division
of the county elected. He thinks that if
the county can be divided, he will stand
a chance of being made judge of the
court in the new county.
