progress OF the Navy.

Those who are entrusted with the build
ing OF our navy say that In point of effect
iveness it will be the best navy in the world
within the next half dozen years. 1t is
only natural that they should be enthusiast
tic about it. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that they know what they are saying-that
they are making no mistakes. They are
certainly spending great deal of money
The naval appropriation bill, passed just be-
fore congress adjourned. carries e1S ,OOO, 600
for constructing ships. 1t cannot be COM
planned that congress has not been liberal in
the matter of money.
Work has just been begun on three great
battle ships. and it is asserted that they will
be superior to anything In the Ell gIish navy.
They will not be so large as the battle ships
launched in England the other day in the
presence OF the queen, but they will carry
more effective guns. And they will be
more in harmony with modern improve
ments.
One respect in which our ships will be
superior to those Of Europe is In the direc-
ton OF armor plates. A process has been
discovered recently for hardening the outer
surface of plate to the depth of couple
OF inches. One hundred pound steel pro-
jectiles which pierce the ordinary plate are
broken into fragments when they strike
this plate. And the plate is to be still
further improved-at least so the naval
constructors say. And protected by these
improved plates our ships will be able to
defy those Of any other nation. That is the
claim made for them. and if it is we'll
founded we shall soon hear nothing more
about the danger to be apprehended from
Chile's big iroR-clad, which will be a back

Some Of those who were regarded as the
most obstinate supporters ana advocates of
the force bill are now endesvoring to mod
ify the censure elected by their INSCRIPTIONS
efforts to promote that measure by pretend
ing that its final passage was never seriously
contemplated, AID asserting that it was kept
before the Senate in order to make any
silver legislation impossible They point
to its value also as a scarecrow in the case
of the passage OF the postal subsidy bill q
few days ago, the death of Senator Hearst
having left the democrats in such plight
that some of them were driven to the sup
port of the subsidy scheme by the presence
in the city of John l. Davenport and threats
of a revival Of the force bill contest. But
the brand of public condemnation is upon
the frenzied force bill advocates, and their
pretense of using it as club to beat silver
legislation is too transparent and altogether
too late. They must stand by their records.

Forth Carolina,s Fufure.

About all Of the newly-elected senator's
were in Washington during the closing days
of congress. Senator Troy of South Caro-
lima, was among them, and he made an ex-
cellent impression upon those with VIII m
be came in contact. He is q hne-looking
man, and there does rot seem TO be any rea-
son 10 doubt that his career in the Senate
will be creditable to himself and his state.
The Representatives Of the newspapers
were rather anxious to have a talk with
him, and they wer9 gratifed They found
him not only well informed respecting mat
tiers IN his state, but also deeply inter-
ested in them. Among other things
he talked about the proposition to refund
the debt Of the state at per cent. He had
no doubt, he said that the refunding scheme
would be carried out successfully.
He was very emphatic in his declaration
that northern investors had nothing 20 fear
from the farmers association and alliance
of South Carolina The people Of South
Carolina, he said, intended that the states
credit should be protected at all hazards II
nece, sary the phosphate deposits of the state
would be pledged as security for the bonds.
ought to command premium. The states
credit is good, and the bonds could be
foated at par, doubtless, without any
security, but with security the bonds would
be eagerly taken.
Under the new order Of things it would
not be surprising if South Carolina should
have greater degree Of prosperity than
she now enjoys. She has good deal of I'M
occupied land, which is capable Of being
made exceedingly productive, and her rate
Of taxation is not high. If those who have
the direction of her affairs show a pro-
gressive spirit, and are liberal in the sup
port Of public schools, a very desirable class
of immigrants will seek homes within her
borders. She is losing some of her black
population, and as the blacks leave her the
whites will seek her. Her future, if the
right sort Of welcome is given to new
corners, will be bright one.
