Mr. Peters will excuse MS, we hope Tor
cbaracterizing his plea as embodying prairie
ideas of navy If fleets are not designed for
fighting why are they built at all? With the
ocean cable service it is not necessary In an
emergency to send diplomatists abroad in fast
crrisers to present the mandate" OF the
American people. The American Ministers in
Europe can always be depended upon to repre-
sent Alright the supreme will of sixty millions
IF intelligent flecmen." If the only function
Of a navy is TO offer rapid transportation to
diplomats armed with popular mandates, 1t Is
unnecessary to arm cruisers with heavy guns.
If they are not designed for fighting, but only
for ocean fcrfiagc, let the armaments be re-
moved and everything be sacrificed to speed.
But even with 21-knot ships the cable VIII
he moro speedy and efficient in declaring the
will of the American Government. Then why
have Navy at al!-cSpccally if naval war
fare be ga thing Of the past and there can
never he any more fighting on the great oceans :
But how can Mr.. Peters be sure that there Will
never be any more Sca-fghtS? Has there ever
been a time when maritime Europe had SO
many or such powerful waIShips as at pres
ont? Have not these fleets been buIlt 1oi
fighting?
navy is not n navy without fighting SER
vice. 1t is merely junl>cting farce. In ordc'
TO command respect at home or abroad 1t mus
have battlc->hips capable of defending inc

and in order to have those battle-ShlpS the
Government must set about the business o
learning how to build them With those

United States will have power behind 1t. .

rs THIS THE SCHEME?

The Republican party OF Ncw-l ork asks none
of lis representatives at Albany to vote against
his conscience in aid of the party. 1t does ask
however. that none Of them shall sacrifice his
conscience for the benefit of Tammany Hall
If any Republican in the Legislature is bent
on voting iniurously to the public interest, he
should look about him for some less danger
ous cause to serve than that OF Tammany If he
is bound 10 hurt his party morally he should
not insist upon hurting it politically too.
There are several members of the Assembly
who seem TO have got upon the wrong track.
They are working and voting in a way that is
inconsistent with their duty as public servants,
and in way that directly menaces party in
teress. They are not dull men. On the con-
trary, they are men of experience and ability.
They probably know why they are doing these
things, bu. we douDt if they wholly realize
whittier they arc drifting.
The honest people of this city are to-day
engaged in struggle with Tammany Hall
The hypocrisy of the Tammany leaders, theil
faithlessness, their corruption and their stu
pcndous impudencc have recently been exposed
with a startling effect upon the public mind
New-York tribune., 1890-04-14

All decent and pubicspirited citizens realize
the infinite peril in which the city stands unless
Tammany is ovcrthrown next fall. That has
become the supreme duty of the Republican
marty of this city. 1t is a duty which the party
above the Harlem Bridge fully appreciates.
Now. are We to understand that there is
clique of Republicans in the Legislature who'
to serve their own ends. intend to lmperll the
performance of this obligation? Are we to
understand that they propose to strengthen
Tammany, to supply it with vast sum of
money for its use next November. and to up
hold if in its effort to plumber the city and to
place the State in such situation politically
as will render Republican success in 1892 we'll

pR4TRTE IDEAS or 4 NAVY,

II is disappointing to find so excellent Re-
publjcan as Nh Peters opposing the develop
mcut Of the Nations naval resources. The
House bill for the increase Of the may was
very moderate and conservative measure; but
he has succeeded with Mr.. Cannon'S aid in
,allving about him a sufficient number Of West
crn RcpnblicanS to secure the rejection oil the
apuropria,ion for three new oattlc-ships. The
argument 10y which he has sought TO justify his
course in rcpudiating plank of the last Ma
tional platform 0i the Republican party. while
adroitly presented, is unworthy of Western
Ropublcanism. That is, Rcpubcanism
which profcsscs to be broad and National. His
plea is narrow and superficial. He is opposed
to battlc-ships because he considers that the
American people do not need "A fighting navy,
and that there will be no more naval warfare
ON either the Atlantic or the Pacific. " We have
learned" he remarks, "by the cvilizing influ-
ences of education that the strongest battle
ship is the diplomatic mandate. and that our
diplomatic mandate is more powerful than all
the armies aud navies of the world" 1t is

Absentecism seems TO be a growing vice
among the Republican Assemblymcn at Albany,
and of course the Democrats will lose 10 Oppor-
tunitv 10 take advantage Of it, There are
seyenty-one Republican members of the Assem-
blv of whom three now happen to be ILL., AS
siyty-fve votes are necessary to pass any meas
IRE. the majority have only the narrow margin
of three on any question where party lines are
strictly drawn. The necessity OF the presence
of all Republicans not physically disqualified
is apparent from the simple statement OF the
facts. Especially is their presence constantly
demanded during the closing weeks OF the ses-
sion.
The Rev. Mr. Scudder is setting an example
which his brother ministers in Jersey Clty
would do well to follow. Prior to the electioh
he hurled forth anathemas against the ballot
box suffers and unprincipled politicians VINO
have brought so much disgrace upon the city.
Now he is no less emphatic in his condemnation
of the practices which secured an apparent ma
iority for Mayor Cleveland, and no less earneS'
in his demand that the wrong done shall be
,ichtcd In his sermon last evening he de-
clared that the matter at stake is not political
question. at is nothing less than the funda-
