NEED OF MORE MEN IN THE NAVY.

Trouble has been experienced for time In getting
men for the cruisers and the various other vessels
which are being commissioned and sent away on duty
This matter renders important the question whether the
present limit Of 500 could be increased to 10000
1t is said that last accounts the number OF men In tho
service fell only slXy-twO below the number allowed by
law The enlistlng Of the receiving ship Yer
mont was stopped a weeks for this reason. 1t
has begun again, but the men do not present
themselves for re-enlstment fast wished for There
arc at present only seycnty-SX on the Vermont
available for service other vessels Some men, whose
terms Of enlistment have expired and who have eonse
ouenty been discharged re.enlst. a few men are oc
casionaly gained for some of the vessels by the
return Of ship in commission to the port but there
are stl many vessels lacking their full complement Of
Aremen and saamen They kept shorthanded. and it
is difficult to get enough for them even to enable
them TO 90 to sea.
II the plan to q great naval demonstration OF
hirtysix vessels in NewYOrk Hafbor In 1898, in con-
nect.on with the Worlds Fair, is followed IL Will be
necessary 10 do something have them properly manned
and at the same keep the proper number OF United
States naval vessels in foreign stations This question

come before the next for action Increased ap
propratons viii also be necessary for the payment ot
larger number men, On the Baltimore alone the cost
OF paving and maintaining the crew, excluding the 0icefs
and the marines is sli,O 900 month Add TO this the
cost OF the officers and Marines with the expense Of
running and repairing the vessel herself, and one Is
little idea Of what navy costs and how little Of the
appropriatons Ia wasted, any. And 80, beside in
creasng the naval force ITSELF it will be necessary 70

and pavInent OF them While money has been granted
and the Navy and Icing not only increased but

The Prosperity Of Railroads.

We never supposed that railroad stocks,
speaking generally, were the best kind
OF securities. We have often heard 1t
said that the men who construct rail-
roads never get back the money spent
upon them. As President Polk in his
speech Of Tuesday spoke OF the railroads
generally as prosperous. we suppose the
present will be an appropriate time TO give
10 our readers some figures bearing upon
this subject. These figures were taken
from Poor's Manual by the Courier Journal
We quote;
"The growth OF railroads In the United States
has boon almost marvellous. The development
Of the country and Its expanding commerce
have caused the building OF liues through terri
tory which few years ago was regarded as but
little better than desert, and wholly unfit for
agricultural use. II not for hstita,ion. At the
end OF the last year there were IN tho country
16o,si7 miles OF track, and OF this grand total
I57,976 miles were In operation. The total
track existing at the end of the calendar year
Was 5.A21 miles IA excess Of that which existed
twelve months before.
"Iho cost OF these roads ana their equipment
was about ss, 100, 600, 900, and the other pro-
perry belonging 10 them was worth about
$4,000, 100000. Their capital stock amounted

A Mistake Corrected,

We called attention last week to the fact
that though the Government allowed
liquors to be stored in Government bonded
warehouses it lent no money on them. We
also said that it would be better to deny
this privilege 10 the makers of whiskey
and brandy than to allow money to be lent
ont by the Government. whether upon that
sort of security or any other. The Dan
vile Register says that the statement having
been repeatedly made that the Govern
ment had advanced cash to the liquor.

sentative in Washington to learn the fact
and received the following reply;

Free Coinage.

We would say to the New York Times
that we are not aware that we have en-
ployed any "intemperate language" III
discussing the free-coinaGe question. We
consider it an attempt to "debase the sill
yer currency" for any man to provide by
contract that he will accept nothing but
gold from his debtors. And surely men
who are willing thus to violate the spirit OF
the national Constitution deserve all that
we have said of them in the way of cen.
sure and ought not to expect to claim the
protection of that instrument. What say:

Let Us Have Glass.

The paper read by Professor WEBEh on
Tuesday last in Washington city before
the American Association for the Advance
ment of Science on the subject OF the &C,
currence of tin in canned goods attracted
no little attention. lie had found seven
maximum or fifty or more minimum doses
of tin in single can OF pumpkin. gun
larger doses might no doubt be FOUND ID
cans filed with articles strongly acid.
WHY should TIN be used for such purposes
Only because it is cheap. But glass is also
cheap. Its cost is so small that there is nc
GOOD reason why 1t might not be substitu-
ted for tin. The consumption of articles
put up IN glass would far exceed the con-
sumption of articles put up in tin. Why
does not some enterprising "canner try
this experiment?

In olden times there was in the school
