Last Nlgnte meeting.
The anniversary of the Freedman's Aid So
ciety and the Southern Aid Society was ceie-
brated last evening and large audience filed
Hamline Church. Some of the speakers re-
ferred to the National University to be erected
in this city and commended the enterprise with
an earnestness that met with hearty response
from the audience. Bishop Hurst presided and
Rev. DIR. F. J. Wagner, the president of Morgan
College. and DR.. CIV. Gray, assistant secretary
Of the Freedman's Aid society and the South
ern Educational Society, made addresses. They
were followed by Rev. DIR. G. H. Payne, who is
secretary of the educational society.
THE PROPOSED UNIVERSITY.
DR.. Payne devoted a large portion of his time
to discussion Of the Methodist University
enterprise. The university, he said, would be
a perpetual inspiration to the students of all
the other lesser institutions, the goal they
would all look forward to. There are over 200
Methodist educational institutions ON the OH
cial list. All of them needed professors
Where else could they SO well come from a.
from the National Methodist University at
Washington. The professors exerted an almost
incalculable influence OVER their pupils, and it
was Of supreme importance that children
should be educated by teachers who had them
selves received their education under Metho-
dist influences. Instead of 200 pupils now
in Methodist institutions the time was at hand
when there should be 900, 900. There had been
an increase Of 5000 last year. He expressed
the hope that Bishop Hurst would receive the
hearty cooperation Of Methodists In all parts
Of the land.
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-11-30

manufactured products of New England
in her two great industries of cotton and
wool was $50, 0O0, 900 between 1880 and 1890,
the total value being s2s1, OO0, 900 in 1880
and 1881 900, 900 in 1890.
In 1890 New England had more cotton
spindles in operation-10, SOC, GOTHAM the
entire country had in 1880. In 1850 New
England produced about IS per cent. in
value of the cotton manufactures of the
country, and in 1890, Notwithstanding the
wonderful growth of the industry in the
Southern states, she manufactured 20 per
cent. in value of the entire product.
In the value of the product of the mis-
cellaneous manufactures of iron and steel
there has been an equally healthy and
satisfactory growth from 1880 to 1890.
These figures from the census establish
the fact of the industrial prosperity of
New England under the policy of protec-
ton to American industry, and yet Mr..
Mills, of Texas, is deluded enough to
expect that Massachusetts, will vote for
free trade and an income tax in 1892.

ABOUT THE NAVY.

SEATTLE, Nov. %, 1891.
TO THE EDITOR: In today's issue of your
paper l see an article by Lieutenant Wyckof, of
the United States navy, in which think he
has ably handled the question of raising
cruits for the cruisers belonging to the Ameri-
can navy. But l think there 10 more to be
added, which, in justice to US of the merchant
marine service, hope you will print. / am q
marine engineer, carrying a certificate from the
United States inspectors OF boilers and hulls
am an American citizen, born and raised in
America, having q fair education. have served
my time in machine shops, and would today, If
1t were possible, join the United States navy in
the capacity of an engineer. But cannot, be-
cause / would first have to 90 to the United
States naval engineering school. But could
not get in there without being the son of some
influential man. And even then, after gradual
ing, would come out of the engineering col
lege knowing all about machinery, as far as
books could teach me, but about the practical
workings of engine would know
no more than 1 would about
theology, and 1 would be much better
fitted to lecture on theology than would
to run an engine.
Every United States cruiser has from five to
forty machnists aboard, and they do all the
work in keeping up repairs and keeping the en-
gines in running order, while the engineer
whom the United States government has been
to SO much trouble to give an education and
MAKE book engineer out OF is simply nothing
but fgure-head to strut around on deck in
gold lace and brass buttons and draw a fat
salary. The machinists, of which the
majority are good and competent men, knowing
more than the book engineer over them, draw a
salary of $40 per month, while the book engineer
draws fat salary of from 81 500 to $1,000 per year
to strut up and down the deck and show off his
brass buttons and gold lace. But the machinist.
no matter how competent, can never rise to the
position of an engineer on United States war
ship. and it is the same in the other de-
partments aboard United States varshins
There is no chance for q man to rise
from the rank and file of the American navy
like there is in the merchant marine seryiee
and until the laws are revised SO as to allow nro
motions, just so long will our country be with
out competent men on her naval ships
Take the case of the steamship Charleston
when she was in the waters of Puget sound a
little more than year ago. She had compile
