period, done for New York ALMOST as much
as the fame did for Chicago. Old New
York has been torn down and another city
has arisen on its site since the days when
our streets rang TO the tread of the return
ing armies of the Union. For parallel
to what we have done with this city of
ours We must look far back to some En-
glish cathedral where the still sturdy work
of earlier generations was destroyed SIM
ply that living men might rebuild it bigger
and taller and more IN accordance with
their own ideas of architectural excellence.
To realize what this change means to
the true New Yorker, we need not ex-
anime those districts within mile of the
city hall where transformation has been
most audacious. We need only look. l
will say, at Union square, anu only with
the eyes of one who holds the day of Lam
coins assassination among her earliest
clear memories. Union square is lively
place now and an amusing; and when We
see it from upper Broadway, with. over
the trees, the tall Domestic building in
the far distance it is not an unpicturesQue
place. But this is how | behold it: Tiff
fany's stands on certain corner, and 1t IS
common place and prosaic enough. But
on this same corner l see paie-gray
stone church with a square tower, plausi-
bly, like that upon some English parish
cnurCn, ana Win tDlck Indntei Oh
ivy exactly like an English one. There
are no sky-scraplng business buildings
anywhere, and not single shop, and
no horse-cars except along the Fourth
avenue side. The tallest structure Is
the Everett house, and elsewhere there
are merely rows of modest high
stoop dwellings, with vines on their bal
comics and trees along their sidewalks.
The trees in the square itself are much
more numerous than you think, and
spread out much farther, so that there are
only narrow streets between them and the
houses; and they are mingled with dense
thckets of shrubs, and Enclosed by high
picket fence. Under their shadow all of
us-all the boys of the neighborhood and
one or two bad little girls as welfare
playing II spy" among the bushes, dig
ging shallow pits in the eartben paths for
our game of marbles, and drawing circles
out Of which we hope, with our pet ig-
num-vita top, to drive the tops OF the
other fellows, perhaps-oh, bliss split
ting them in two in the act. There are no
tramps or other dolefui figures on the
benches; there is only rare policeman,
who takes a fatherly interest in our sport;
and there is stall at one corner. where 4
fat Irshwoman in a red shawl dispenses
pinked-out gingersnaps OF heavenly
essence, which cannot be purchased, even
by bad little girls, within mile of the
sophisticated Union square of to-day.

TACOMA, Dec. 19.-As persons interested
in Shipping probably know Lioyd's Register
of British and Foreign Shipping, since the
year 1885, has taken great pains in gather
ing statistics from all over the world IN
regard to the building of sailing vessels
from 100 tons net register upwards,
and steamships from 100 tons gross regis
ter upwards, but although these statistical
reports have been published for seven
years it is likely that the mass of the peo-
pie interested in shipping never thought
of the remarkable fluctuations this indus
try shows itself susceptible of

the interest of American shipbuilding.
which undoubtedly will flourish more
than ever before. especially in those parts
ofthe United States where abundance of
the raw material is near at hand, I take
great pleasure in laying the facts before
the public.
The number Of vessels. as we'll as their
tonnage. built all over the world in the
period of seven years, from 1885 to 1891 in
elusive, is shown by the following table:

Does Politics Offer = Career?
Ex-senator Eimunds. in the Forum.

Ex-senator Edmunds. in the Forum
The first duty of man is to provide by
honest means for the maintenance Of him.
self and his family, that is, if he have
family. Honest politics as q pursuit
does not furnish such means except i'll
the small class of administrative en-
Payments. and then only in very
meager degree. Every person, certainly
in a republic, ought to be a politician in
some way; out to pursue political career
as such implies much more. Assuming,
as may be safely done, that the great ma
jority of young citizens are honest, the
chances for them of good political career
have many attractions; but if that career
is to be exclusive of the private pursuit of
some business or profession, it will be
found difficult and disappointing. In
deed, only those of assured competence
could enter it.
In the century of our political existence
there have been very few, if indeed any,
instances of the pursuit Of politics as q
career otherwise than in the lowest and
worst forms to which we have alluded
The politicians who have besn most
largely useful to the country and most
often in public service have been men
still engaged in one way or an
other in occupations common to their
fellow-citizens. and they have been called
ANU puDliC ny COlISfutTdilOuS lar
other than personal self-seeking. They
came to possess and exercise power, not
as professional experts looking for en-
ployment, but We're called as the best
representative opponents of the social and
political views of the communities of
which they were homogeneous parts.
This is the essential idea of representative
government. He is the best politician
and will have the best political career
whose everyday life and occupations are
in contact and sympathy with those of
his fellow men. He accepts public en-
ployment and exercises pubic power as a
duty, and it may be as pleasure, when
called TO do it, and thus he is able in the
changes and chances of political move
meDts to leave them without regret and
feel himself again happily at home in his
former place among the people
1t would seem to follow that politics as
a career cannot be looked to By young
Americans as the best choice of occupa-
ton in life; and leaving aside considera-
tons OF individual happiness and the fac
ulties tastes and ambitions that affect it,
the very principle and structure of re-
public would seem to he opposed to the idea
of the profession of politics TO be taken up
and pursued as law, or medicine, or engi-
neering are. A political class in 4 repub-
lie must always be in danger of becoming,
or trying to become, the master and dicta-
tor of political Movements trust of
bossism and corruption, of which there is
already an over abundance.

STEAM.

II will be seen that more than one-third
of all the sailing vessels built last year were
built of wood. The revival of wood as
material for ship building. which has been
in constant increase since 1887. seems,
however. to show very small decline,
although all the mentioned countries,
with the exception of Holland and Bel
GUM, in 1891 contributed as shown by the
table. In Russia no other material than
wood was used for ship building in 1891,
and the same was the case with Greece in
1890, which country again in 1891 built one
iron or steel vessel with tonnage capacity
OF 2lS tons. 1t is probably not necessary
to remind the reader that tempered"
steel is kind OF material that needs,
more attention than the ordinary quality
of iron used for ship building.
HANS CHR. PAUpK
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-12-26

The decline in last years ship building
was not uniform or identicaliy the same.
Although in the United Kingdom there
were built 41,652 tons less capacity. the
table shows better result for the United
Kingdom in 1891 than in 1890. when - 7-10
per cent. of all the ships built in the world
were built By English ship builders. while
the corresponding percentage in 1891 was
20 40. There is, however, good oppor.
tunity for a still better result, as there is
great competition abroad in ship building
On three different occasions in the past
seven years the ship builders in England
had better result to show, as in 1887,
when the corresponding percentage was
81 eo-l00: in 1883, S. So 1Oo and in 1889,
rs $40.
While the English ship builders have
competition IN foreign countries, they at
the same time have any amount of foreign
customers, and the statistical report shows
that English ship builders in 1891 con-
tracted and delivered 81 vessels, with q
tonnage of $500, TO Norway; % vessels,
with tonnage of IS. 4i6, TO Germany; 81
vessels. with a tonnage of %, SCI to Brazil,
and Is vessels, with tonnage of %, So, TO
the British colonies. On the other hand,
a firm Of shipbulders IN Denmark con-
tracted and delivered steel steamer of
LILO tons capacity TO ship owners in En-
gland. and China. Japan and Norway have
built one vessel each for ship owners in
the British colonies.
The table above shows that the increase
in ship building comes on the following
countries:

It's likely that the year 1890 will stand
memorable one for many years to come
In regard TO steamship building, and
above table shows that in 1890 there were
quit $50 steamers, with a tonnage capac-
ity OF LBS, SAL, or ia steamers with tom
mage capacity of 81. 739 more than in 1889.
Last year CS9l) shows decline Of fifty
one steamers, with combined tonnage of
2S5.O9l. and it is very likely that the pres
ent year will show a still larger decline.
The English shipbuilders have OF late
years built more than four-tifths of the
the steam tonnage of the world, but the
great fuctuation in respect to tnis gives
O warning for every one to be on the look
out.
In 1885 the steam tonnage built in the
United States was only 7s.9 per cent,
which suddenly in 1887 increased up to
Ssh per cent, and held this percentage
for two years, while in 1889 it went down
to s4.15 per cent, and in 1890 TO ST. per
cent, and then again it went.up to $50 per
cent. in 1891.
About one year ago there was reason to
believe that ship building of iron and steel
IN the United States would be an import
ant industry, but while in 1890 were
built eleven iron steamers with Is. li7 tons
capacity. there were only built two iron
steamers with a combined tonnage OF $50
In the United States last year. In ship
building of steel there was likewise de-
cline from twelve steamers with O tonnage
capacity of S3,34S tons in 1890 to seven
steamers with combined tonnage of H.
54l in 1891. The building of steam tonnage
was one-third less than in the preceding
year, which also proved itself to be the
case in France. Not one of the other
countries shows such q tremendous de-
cline in ship building alth ough Germany
and Holland-Belgium have had a copsid.
cradle decline.
The tendency to build large steamships
seems checked, as the following table,
showing the tonnage of steamers built in
the past five years, will show:
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-12-26

1t is now two years since the L,9yd's
Register predicted that the climax in the
use of steel as material for ship building
was reached, and the statistics for the last
two years in regard to steel vessels con-
firm their suppositlon. In 1885 there was
only 1913 per cent. of the combined ton
mage for that year built of steel; in 1856
the corresponding percentage increased to
45.4 per cent; in 1887, 72.2; in 1888, So
and in 1889 to s5.4 per cent. In 1880 the
corresponding percentage went down to
s3h per cent. but last year it again went
up to S.. II per cent.
The following table shows the material
used for the building of sailing vessels and
steamers in 1891:

From these figures it will be seen that
although there was decrease in tonnage
In 1891 of II .39S tons there were built fifty
eight vessels more than in the previous
years, as the tendency for building smaller
vessels on an average continued. In 1889
the average tonnage of vessels built was
1873 tons, which average in 1891 went
down TO i,079 tons.
The following table shows the vessels of
all kinds built in 1890 and 1891 in the
