ress Of the construction of the coast defense
vessel Monterey, which was launched April
23, during President Harrison's visit to this
coast, said: eve are getting machinery Of
the Monterey into place as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The boilers are set and one engine is
in position and the other two are now on
the dock ready to be put imposition. Every
thing will be ready for the trial trip in Oc-
tober, and if we are not delayed by the
failure of the Government to send out
armor, the vessel will be completed and
ready to be turned over long before the date
provided for in the contract.
1T is time we received armor plating,
and If it does not come along very soon the
work will have to be delayed to await its ar
rival. Cruiser No. 6 is getting along nicely,
but, though we are making rapid progress,

RESPONSIBILITIES OF OFFICE
The labors of public Office at Washington
are full of high responsibility and most bur-
densome toll. No man is burdened with an
fncapacity to make mistakes. We ean, how
ever, all Of us, In public or private trust, be
sure of our motives. These are our own. We
can know whether we are pursuing low and
selfish ends, or have set before MS the gem
eral good, the highest good Of all our people.
Judgment on what has been done is with
you. 1 am sure only. that 1 have had 1t in
my heart to do that which should in the
highest degree promote the prosperity of
our people and lift the glorious flag yet
higher in the esteem Of the world. lGreat
applause.I
We have too long surrendered to other
nations the carrying trade Of the world.
They have subsidized their lines Of ships and
have rendered competition by unaided lines
impossible. We have the choice either TO
maintain our present inactivity or promote
the establishments of American lines by the
same methods that other nations have pur-
sued. For one, Il am not content that the
harbors of the world shall longer be unfa-
miliar to the Stars aud Stripes.
