TIE STAR recurs to the report Of the Secre-
tary of War to emphasize the necessity for
coast defenses. The manufacture of improved
guns has received an impetus that is a hopeful
augury for the future, and it only remains to
complete the preparations of this nature. to
mount the guns for harbor defense on works
adequate for the purpose, and to further pro-
tect the republics seaboard by vessels con-
strueted mainly or entirely for coast defense.
There Is no need for a great standing army
Ike Frances or Germany's or gigantic
feet like England's. for the hope of the
republic is in the courageous self-respect of its
citizens and this is maintained not by costly
show of arms, but by wise self-government
But there is need of proper measures of phys
ical protection even in time of profoundest
peace, and on the part Of the most peaceful Of
nations. These measures are vell-equipped
small army and larger navy and a system of
Notifications on the coast aud along the bor-
ders. The Secretary of War in his recommen-
dation for a continued appropriation of a half
million dollars annually for the purchase of
sites for Notifications until the important sites
are all purchased only meets tue actual de-
mand of the situation

Two things have hampered the Farmers
Alliance, one Of them from the beginning.
These are the subtreasury plan and the third
party. The latter was not in the original
scheue Of the projectors Of the farmers
movement, but it is the natural outgrowth Of
it. The warehouse or subtreasury plan Of
finance has all along been bone OF conten-
ton The order is likely to split upon IL, al
though the enforcement Of the peoples party
idea alone would have the same effect II can
be seen that movement already crippled by
good crops and prosperity and disturbed by
internal dissensions Is not in . very promising
way. No matter what the issue of the Indian
apolis meeting the outlook for the Farmers
Alliance as q power in the land in the imme-
date future is not hopeful The farmers have
been too busy coming real money from their
crops TO have the time or the inclination or
the need to make fat money from paper or
moonshine. The real grievances under which
they labor do not seem so heavy when agricui-
tural prosperity gives them strength to bear
their burdens Relieved from the fear and
danger of present ruin they are not forced In
desperation to adept the first alleged remedy
for these grievances that is suggested, but may
inteligently and deliberately examine the
remedies proposed, and reject those which
are wild or unsound and those which, while
plausible on the surface in the promise OF
present results, will be ultimately injurious.

For a number Of years the project Of free
bathing beach on the Potomac was popular
one with the people of Washington. There will
be Just as much need of beach next summer
as in any Of the previous summers, when there
was loud clamOr for such facilities The idea
is still popular one notwithstanding the &C
cidents of last summer in the neighborhood Of
the beach 1t will scarcely be contended by
any one that the dangers which attended q
careless use Of the beach recently constructed
completely outweished It's benefits. and 1t is
clear that on an improved basis such insti-
tuition would be Of great advantage to the COM
munity. IL is expected that our legislature
will not abandon what has already been ex-
pended in work and money on the project, but
will build on the foundation already laid and
make the beach both attractive and safe.

The present water famine in New York gives
rise to serious study as to the water supply OF
all considerable cities which show . te ndency
to large increase in population. Two
questions arise Of greatest moment: !. Pro-
vidIng sufficient addition to the reservoirs to
afford the necessary water for all purposes.
2 The serving Of this sufficient quantity in an
uncontaminated state. New York depends on
the Croton water shed. Philadelphia on the
Delaware and Schuyikili rivers. Washington on
the Potomac. So far as this city is concerned
