AZ AUXILIARY NAVY.

"The Ncw-Yorll Times credits Secretary
Whitney with having made in 1887 some Use
full recommendations respecting the utility OF
an auxiliary navy. II is true that in his annual
report of that wear he described the methods
employed by European Governments for Sc
curing transports and cruisers in an emergency
of war, and that he authorized an inspection
of vessels in the merchant service with a view
to ascertaining their availability for naval use.
But il is also true that the Cleveland Admin
stratiOn. under which this preliminary move
ment for the creation of an auxiliary navy was
organized, did nothing TO promote the interests
of a commercial marinc and that is what an
auxiliary navy must be. On the contrary, the
Postmaster General OF that Administration
withheld from the American steamship lines n
large appropriation which Congress had made
for mail service That act revealed the hos
tiIity Of the Cleveland Administration to the
shipping interests Of the Nation. II was very
sensible recommendation which Secretary Whit
ney made respecting the utility of IN auxiliary
navy, but the suspension of the payments all-
thorizcd by Congress for mail service was an
unmistakable indication that the Administration
of that day not disposed to do anything
that would help to restore the American flag
to the seas.
That attitude Of hostility to shipping inter
ests was again taken by the Democrats in Con-
grcss last year. When the Postal Subsidy and
Bounty bills were under consideration their full
party strength. with a few notable exceptions.
was cast against these measures. When the
Democrats obtained control OF the present
House they presented their alternative plan of
providing the country with foreign built,
foreign manned commercial marine. The Fifth
an BILL which has been reported by majority
of the Committee on Commercial Marine and
Fisheries is a measure for destroying the ship
building industry on the coasts, rivers and
lakes and abandoning the business of internal,
coastwise and ocean transportation to foreign
crs. This is a characteristic Democratic meth
cd of restoring the commercial marine and Gre
ating an auxiliary navy.
The methods adopted by the Harrison Ad-
ministration arc markedly different. The Pres
ident has advocated in season and out of sea-
son the restoration of the flag to the high seas
by the payment of bounties, subsidies and
liberal mail service. In his messages and in
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1892-05-24

many of his Presidential speeches he has urged
the creation of merchant marine as high
National policy. and has done more than any
one else in public life, with the single exception
of Senator Frye to promote the prosperity OF
American shipping interests. Secretary Tracy
has taken up the suggestions OF his predecessor
respecting the auxiliary navy. and by his specific
references to the City of Paris and the City OF
New-Yorls has opened the way for legislative
action for granting to those ships an American
registry But neither the Secretary III recon-
mcnding this action nor the President IN
promptly signing the bill has committed HIM
self TO the destructive policy OF the Frhan
measure The privilege of American registry
by which two ships were made available for
naval requirements was granted under condl-
tions which involved the construction OF sim
liar ships in American yards The Harrison
Administration has not favored any measure
for comprising the destruction of American
shipbuilding or foreign raidng upon coastwIse
and lake navigation. 1t has too much patriot
ism and American feeling to advocate the crca-
ton of an auxiliary navy upon the runs OF
American industries.

General Porters latest appeal for the Grant
Monument Fund ought to be the means OF
completing the undertaking which. under his
energetic and resourccful direction. has adj
vancpd so rapidly and so far toward fulillmcnt.
Since the sixty days campaign began more
than $500. 900 has been subscribed, and only
about $40. 900 is needed to make m the half
million. There is a strong desire on the part
of all who have engaged in this task to bring
il 10 an end before Decoration Day. Only SIX
days therefor are left, but they surely ought
to be enough And yet just because II seems
so easy to raise the small sum still required
there is a chance of disappointment. Many
may feel that the result is already secured ana
so neglect the final appeal.
General Porter and his associates deserve 10
be guaranteed against the consequences of such
inadvcrtcncc They have laborcd pcrSi>tcnily
and unsclishly for two months. and they have
achieved "A brilliant success. The fund Is pIac-
tically complete. The lack of a few thousand
dollars will not diminish their credit but only
their satisfaction II Will. however, seem to
signify want of appreciation of their ci!oliS
on the part of this community. There must

things the new Justice would be chosen from

principal States in the circuit from which jus

necessarily follow that the President will limit
himself to the States named in making his
choice. The high character of Mr. lIarrison's
