years. This is but an exemplihcation OF the
truth that the United States navy has adopted
the policy of learning from the experiences of
other navies and following in their footsteps
In so far as their successes are concerned. The
maneuvers Of the great naval powers Of Europe
during the summer of 1883 furnished this gov
eminent with much in the way Of actual knowl-
edge-almost as reliable as that obtained from
direct experimentation, and as a result, al
though the Cushing is but the first torpedo
boat built for our government, we are quite up
to the times on the theories and beliefs as to
the efficacy of such vessels.
1t has, then, come to be considered as an ac-
cepted fact that the torpedo boat Is q most
valuable adjunct to a fleet of vessels operating
against another or to the ships of a blockaded
harbor. They are the sklrmlshers of naval
warfare, darting out under cover of fire or
darkness to shoot their venomous darts at I'M
suspecting ships that lie unconscious of their
danger. The introduction of the torpedo boat
proper, that is, of the small. swift vessels that
are to act under tactics of surprise, has wrought
many radical changes IN the armament and dis
cIpline of naval vessels and crews 1t is IA re-
petition of the long-contnued contest between
guns and armor, somewhat varied. Here is a
new and most dangerous mode of attack. Here
also are innumerable devices and designs to
prevent these new spit-fres from accomplish
ing their purpose.
PROTECTION FROM ToBPEDoEs
Nets and cables are hung out over the sides of
a ship, search lights have been devised and in
troduced, not wholly but partly to offer the
ship some chance to discover her small antag-
onist and new kind of armament called the
secondary battery, made up of rapid-fre and
machine guns of all sorts, has been devised and
introduced on all modern ships. Formerly
boarding ship was one of the most common
parts of an attack and crews were drilled in the
arts Of repelling boarders. Today the crew Of

the rockbound coast of Maine. 1t seems to
me worthy Of note that on every Saturday be-
fore the opening of Congress from 1869 to
1879 Mr.. Adams and myself walked to the
Capitol to take notes Of the preparations. On
the Senate side for most, if not all. of that
time We were received by Sergeant-at-Arms
French, who took great pride in showing us
his new carpets, curtains, &c. In those days
the carpets were all imported but now, be-
Heve, the American Congressman treads on
American carpets equally handsome and cost
ing much less Newspaper men are proverbially
good-looking, but it would have been difficult
to find a handsomer man than Jerome B. Still
son. Tall, straight as an arrow, with black
eyes, black moustache and black curly hair and
dressed in the latest style, he was certainly o
distinguishing fellow. There was an idea
somewhere that Adams and Ramsdell resem-
bled each other. l think that secretly both
resented it, and as a mutual friend I cannot
say which had the best right to do SO. But,
perhaps had better refrain from personals
ties.

For years we have beeen telling the poo
pie about the great land steal which was
engineered by the syndicate which built
the Paclfo roads. We have time and
again explained:
First, how the government voted money
TO build the roads and then threw In
2O0,OOO,OO0 acres OF land besides.
Second, how II consented to accept n
second mortgage for lts first mortgage,
for the s2OOOOOOOO which II advanced.
Third, how II has been compelled TO
pay the interest on its bonds (for the
S0O,OOO,0OO which IL advanced) In order
to protect It's own credit, till IL has paid
out over s5O,0OO,OOO Of interest,
Fourth, that Uncle Sam now stands in
on 86O,0OO,OOO Of principal TO be paid
and S5O,0OO,0OO interest (alTeady paid
and a first mortgage Of S3O,OOO,OOO to
take up, making a grand total in round
numbers OF Si40,0O0,OOO.
All for road which cost only about
S3OO0O0OO to build originally
Suppose II now fOrecloses It's mortgage
and takes the road. 1t will have cost 80,
100000 acres Of land and Si4O,OOO,OOO
cash, for s3O,OOO,OOO railroad.
