country is necessary. Accordingly the

ing. The Charleston is now fitting out at

For the past few days, many Italian
citizens have pictured the woes which
the navy OF their native land could
infict upon this country, should the
reparation for the assassinations of the
New Orleans mob. TO be sure these
threats have been the utterances OF
excited and angry men. 1t is humili.
ting fact, however, that the italian Gov.
eminent has a navy vastly superior to
our own, and were it disposed to make
US trouble with it, could inflict u vast
amount of damage to our practi
cally unprotected seaboard. Under
such circumstances the talk of men who
oppose navy worthy Of this
great country appears to p1or
advantage. Ex-senator Ingalls, for
instance points to the naval history
of the country during the Rebellion to
show the capacity of the country to
create a navy at short notice, in case OF
emergency. in utter disregard of the
fact that the conditions to such work
have entirely changed in the
last quarter of century. Ii
is a vastly different thing to build a
modern armored cruiser than what it
was the war ships of the rebellion
Years are now consumed in the con
struction of vessel where months suf-
feed back in the sixties. There is only
one way for this country to secure a
navy worthy of the flag. and that is to
vigorously continue the good work in
that direction which has been so well
begun during the past decade.

We think the editor Of the Bangor
Wing is mistaken in believing that Gov
ernor Burleigh told him he should
undertake to influence no member of
the Legislature upon the Australian
ballot question. The Governor has
said that he did not purpose to lobby
for this or any other measure. The
members of both branches of the Legis-
lature, however, and all others who have
conversed with him upon the subject
of the secret ballot know that he has
earnestly advocated in private converse
ton the position squarely and Wig.
orously taken in his inaugural address.
He firmly believes that the high
est interests of the State and the
Republican party demand the enact
ment of secret ballot law. Enter
tanning such views he has ex
pressed them upon ali occasions
when this question has been touched
upon in his presence. lie has placed
his honest convictions upon this ques
ton, before the legislature, and the
people of the State in uuequivoca
terms. He believes the secret ballot
to be right and in the line Of
progress. He earnestly hopes that il
may become law, and will continue, a.
in the past, to express his views upon il
squarely and forcibly to all who speal
with him concerning Il.

LIST us Msvs Forward

The Bangor Wing says that it has
never affirmed that our elections were
absolutely free from abuses. 1t simply
believes that tiic ballot in this State is
az pure as In any state in the Union. To
this extent the JOURNAL cordially
agrees with Ii. Indeed we have been
proud TO believe that our elections have
been purer than those in majority OF
the states under the old system. Never.
theIess we do not undertake to deny that
abuses do exist, and neither does our
ntemporary-abuses which there il nO
reason to believe will diminish under
our present system Of voting.
Why then should not the Republican
party, which has always been the cham
pion Of free and honest ballot, give a
fair trial to the Australian system which
has been given good trial in the neigh
boring state Of Massachusetts, with
results that have been generally and
emphatically satisfactory there: The
magnificent record Of the Republican
party is a record Of progress. 1t has
always been in the van Of popular reform
movements. 1t has been the party Of
the country which has been most active
In furthering the Australian system
of voting and has secured its adop-
ton in large majority d. OF the
states where it is now in force. The
great Republican papers Of the country
are almost unit for it. The move
ment is an onward one, and We believe
il would be an exceedingly unwise
thing to undertake to block it here in
Maine. 1t is rapidly gaining in strength
and, whatever may be done by this leg
islarure, it will inevitably be successful.
The history of parties who have under
taken to stay great popular reforms
viii make instructive reading just now.
Any great movement which the people.
down deep in their hearts, believe to be
right and in the line of progress will
eventually succeed

In the course of his able speech upon
the Australian ballot bill, Friday, Sena-
tor Spear iocosely referred to Gov
ernor Burleigh as a Bangor man.
As the Governor has resided In
Augusta with his family and voted here
for twelve consecutive years, and as he
owns a homestead and other real estate
in this city, we think the Senator, who
is good lawyer, will admit that he has
clearly complied with the requirements
of the law and gained residence in this
city, where he purposes to make his
PERMANENT home.
