For some time the British Govern
ment has been watching with a jealous
eye the increase Of the navy in this
country, and not long ago an English
statesman declared that Great Britain
should have q navy at least twice as
large as that OF Gny other nation in
the world. The House of Commons
seems determined to carry this into
effect, as it has just passed bill pro-
viding for the building of seventy new
war vessels, at a cost of one hundred
million dollars. This action show s
that Great Britain feels that she 10 not
able TO cope with other powers in the
event of trouble with them and should
be hint to our government to i'm
prove the time in reeonstructing our
navy. We sincerely hope that this
country may not be involved In difli-
Guilty with any nation, but it will be
we'll for the United States, the same as
Great Britain, to be prepared for any
emergency that may arise.

; Trade is commencing fully two
weeks sooner than usual in the large
cities, and the prospect is very prom
Using for one OF the busiest seasons that
has been experienced for years. Lake
navigation opened fully week ago,
and this, with the large quantity of
grain that is being moved eastward by
the railroads, adds largely to the vol
ume of business. The coal trade is
still unsettled, and consequently there
is considerable depression in that bust
ness. This is caused in great measure
by the mild winter, which has de
creased the consumption and caused a
corresponding decrease in the demand.
The tolls are also unsettled, and these
causes combined have depressed the
business 80 that at present there is very
little doing. The demand for iron has
been 8 efficiently steady to prevent
much change in the prices, but thus
far the increase in the output has moi
been much. The indications are that
the present spring will be one of the
best experienced Tor years in al
branches of business.

Il Unanimous Call.

The many friends in this city of Rev
Dr.. J. M. Frost, pastor of the First Bap
fist church at Selma, Alabama, and former
pastor of the Staunton Baptist church, vii
be glad to hear that he has been unanimous
ly called, at q meeting held last Sunday i'll
the Leigi-street Baptist church of Rich.
mond, to fill the vacancy made by the resig-
nation of Rev. Dr.. Goodwin. DR.. Frost
is a man of superior ability and well fitted
in all respects for the, responsible position
to which he has been, without a dissenting
Voice, called. Dr.. F. is brother of Mrs.
M. N. Bradley of Staunton.
The Richmond Religious Herald of July
II. says: Leigh Street church on Sunday
unanimously and enthusiastically called
Rev. J. M. Frost, of Selma, Ala, to its pas
torate. 1t is earnestly hoped that he will
accept. We have no grudge against ON
Selma Baptist brethren, but they must let
Frost come. We venture the opinion that
if the Leigh Street people had taken yeal
longer, they would not have made wiser
selection. Bro. Frost is studious, scholar
ly, diligent, prudent, an excellent preacher
and a faithfulpastor. Richmond is to be
congratulated upon the possibility of hay
ing him here. He is in heartiest sympathy
with denominational enterprises, is a fine
organizer and is in every respect a most
lovable and valuable man.
