THE NAVY OF TIE FUTURE.

The New York Tribune begins an article
Oh the navy with the words: "San Fran
cisco is becoming the chief center of Amer
lean naval industry" 1t adds;
The Union Iron Works, which received con-
tracts for the Charleston and the San Francisco,
now has a rival in the RisdOn Works, but an un-
successful one so far as the present proposals
are concerned as its bids for the armored cruiser
were the highest on The list. Ii is remarkable,
however that firm which has been making
locomotives and has had, al least until recently,
no shlp-buildlng plant, should have entered into
the competition. Its enterprise is largely to be
attributed TO the success OF the Union Iron
Works in undertaking Government work under
serious disadvantages and providing San Fran
cisco with one of the best-equipped ship-yards In
the Union. That has been an achievement that
has excited emulation and competition.
1t is indeed a matter of general congratu-
lation that this city should have won so
large a share in the work of rebuilding the
American navy. 1t is a gain as material as
it was unexpected. That California should
supply the Union with fruit and raisins and
wine and with the best flour in the world
was no matter of wonder: but that, with
out iron and without coal, ii should become
the seat of a great ship-building industry
reflects infinite credit on the genius of the
men who accomplished such a triumph.
After all. ii is brains which build up great
communities, net raw materials; it was
brains which created the industry on which
the Clyde lives. Brains will do as much for
San Francisco.
To us. looking at the question from our
own standpoint, it seems unfair that the
Union Iron Works did not get the contracts
for both of the heavy war-ships, as they
were the lowest bidders. We must be con-
tent, however, with what we have, and trust
that the ships built here will make such
record that the East will want US to build
the steamers of the future.
1t is on the Pacific that the American
navy of the future will find its best field of
usefulness. On the Atlantic the Navy De-
partment has to compete with foreign ma
tons which have equal resources and skill
and more experience than we have in build
ing ships of war. For every great battle
ship that can be launched from Eastern
ship-yards, England, France, Germany, Rus
STA and Italy can build two, perhaps more
formidable instruments of war. On the Pa
ciic the United States have no competitors.
II, as the Tribune says. San Francisco be-
comes the chief seat of American naval in
dustry, this nation will dominate the great
sea Of the world from San Diego to Hong
Kong and from Australia to the Aleutian
chain. Following in the wake of war-ships
fleets of merchant steamers bearing the
American flag will appropriate the future
exchange Of commodities between Asia and
America, and will roll in wealth upon the
seaport which must be the chief entrepot of
that traffic.

WAGES AND DUTIES.

Our fFee-trade friends frequently make
out plausible argument for their cause by
assuming that there is no labor cost on raw
material For example. the iron manufac-
turer who converts iron ore into pig iron is
credited with the cost of the labor employed
in that process. 1t is claimed that he is
protected by a duty nearly double the
whole amount paid by him as wages. But
this duty covers the iron ore as well as the
labor Of converting that ore into pig iron.
The latter is only one stage higher in the
general work of making fine steel from iron
ore. To the maker OF watch springs the
steel is the raw material. 1t is just as rea-
sonable to leave out Of account the labor in
the manufacture of steel as to leave ont the
labor in the production of iron ore. Why
protect the skilled workman who labors in
the later processes and leave unprotected
the miner who digs the ore out of the earth
and puts 1t where transportation trains can
reach it to take it to market? The labor on
what is described in commerce the raw ma
terial amounts TO more than twice as much
as the labor in converting raw material to
the finished article

BETWEEN rae Two HOUSES.

The action of the House in refusing to
rise when sitting as Committee of the
Whole to receive the Silver Bill as it passed
the Senate does not indicate an agreement
of the House with the Senate amendments.
The principal objection probably lies with
the Plumb amendment, providing for free
coinage. On Tuesday the Senate had made
two or three amendments to the House bill
making the bill mere favorable to silver
when Plumb offered his free coinage
amendment, which was passed by 43 ayes
to "a noes. Precisely in what shape the
bill went back to the House is not known,
but the comments of the New York papers
indicate that the free-colnage clause had
superseded the amendment previously
adopted. There is some ground for the be-
lief that certain Democratic Senators voted
for free coinage to put the Republicans in
antagonism with the Administration on the
free-coinage question. The House will
probably reject the free-coinage amend
ment and it is not unlikely that the differ
ences will be settled by conference COM
mittees. Some kind of a silver bill will be
passed, but probably not free-coinage

AN UNDERWRITERS MOVE.

At a meeting held on Tuesday, whereat
Messrs. Charles +. Story, Isidore Cutie,
William Greer Harrison, c. T. Taylor, D.
j. Staples. Colin Boyd, and other gentle
men interested in fire insurance, met the
Mayor and other citizens to consider the
dangers to which the city is exposed from
FIRE. resolutions were passed calling for the
appointment of a committee to collect a
guarantee fund Of $4,000 to be placed at
the disposal Of the Fire Department to i'm
prove the machinery of that department for
the extinction of fires. To that resolution
no valid exception can be taken. The in
ability of the department to cope with
great fire from the want of adequate en-
gines and an adequate supply of water will
be denied by no one.
1t would, however, please the public If
the insurance companies which the gentle
men represent would come forward and
couple this suggestion with proposition to
- reduce the rates, for every one knows that
the charges for insurance are higher in San
Francisco than in any Eastern city, and the
profits Of the business are correspondingly
large. A considerable proportion OF the
property in the Western Addition is unin-
sured, because people are unwilling to paw
twice the premiums which are exacted in
New York or Boston. Prudent people, how
ever. do insure. and the money earned by
the insurance union is out of proportion to
the risks it takes. The companies ask that
the public shall contribute guarantees to
improve the Fire Department. which is just
and proper. but there should be an assur-
ance given Of considerable reduction of
the rates of insurance hereafter by the COM
panles.

rank him in continuous service, he has
served a greater number Of years than any
other member. The people of San Fran
cisco, however, cannot help recalling the
fact that his watchdog" tactics have re-
peatedly blocked their attempts to secure
suitable building for Postoffice.
There are not many places on the globe
where the wild flowers are as plentiful and
beautiful as in California. A sample of
what this State can boast is the display
afforded by the schools of Santa Cruz
County, one of which in short time gath

there are about hundred representatives

additional guarantees providing for the

Jute-MiIls.
Sheriff John Ball came down this morn
ing from Oroville, escorting Henry Null
ings, the murderer of John Moore, miner,
to San Quentin. Mullings will spend the
remainder of his days in the jute-mills.
To the Sheriff the murderer, who is q
half-breed Indian, and looks mean enough
to scuttle ship or wreck train, said he
did not have fair trial. But the evidence
against him was very strong When he was
convicted the first time and sentenced 10
prison for life the jury, with a single excep-
ton, was in favor Of hanging him. And
only one man saved him from having his
neck stretched last week. The attorney of
Mullings, w. }. Herrin, has done much
shrewd, hard work to secure his liberty,
having secured a new trial from the SUI
preme Court when every one told him the
undertaking would be useless. But he
made his point with law, and will, it is said,
appeal for another new trial on some tech
nical issue.-Sacramento Bee, June 18th.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Canadian legislators are cogniZant of the
fact that sooner or later the ties that bind
the Dominion to the British empire will be
snapped asunder. The Premier Of Ontario,
Hon. Oliver Mowatt, who is perhaps little
more conservative than some of his Reform
associates, during his recent visit to Ro-
chester declared there is at present no
great desire for a change in the political
system of Canada, but if a change ever does
come it will lie independence from Great
Britain, not annexation to the United
States" In spite Of his declarations, how
ever, the recent elections in the lower PROV
inces resulted in some remarkable victories
for advocates Of annexation.
