his personality could have made such demonstration
as the Cooper Union meeting possible.
He looked upon this revolt as Cleveland movement
and nothing else. 1t is his personality disguised As
political protest In his view.

"Oh. Cleveland 10 serene. He has the utmost conn.

There are others In existence Of greater
size: none Of greater power or efhctency.''
In his report for the present winter he de-
clared that ships Of the type OF the Indiana
are undoubtedly the most powerful element
OF protection that this country can pos
sess;" and. accordingly. he then asked for
two more OF them, while the HALE bill pro-
poses three.
The coast defence vessels mentioned In
this bill would be less expensive. One OF
them would be useful on the Atlantic coast
and another in Puget Sound. The latter.
supported by torpedo craft and land bat
teries. would make that important body Of
water. now threatened by the British naval
station at Esquimault. absolutely secure.
and the Monterey could take care OF San
Francisco and the California coast The
sense OF security given by three or four
vessels like the Indiana on our Atlantic and
Gulf coast and two more in the Pacific
would repay their cost. which last goes to
American material and mechanics.
The other provisions OF MIR. HALE's Dill
are for small vessels. not costly to con-
struct or maintain. Mr.. TRACY, in his last
report, called for a new type OF 1.2O0-ton
vessels. to DO $50 feet long by forty feet
beam and nine feet maximum draught.
having speed OF seventeen knots and
carrying four-inch rapid-fire guns. 1.-The
town OF Ichang." said the Secretary. in ex-
planning his purpose. " the scene OF one OF
the late Chinese riots. could not be reached
by any gunboat In the foreign fleets. All
OF them drew too much water. Such
vessel which would cost 100000. would
Immediately prove herself to be the most
useful vessel OF any foreign power upon
that station" These vessels would also be
useful In the South Atlantic squadron. and
could be kept In commission instead OF our
big fighting ships for routine station work
in time OF peace.
The lack Of torpedo boats in our navy Is
extraordinary. While other nations have
scores and hundreds. We possess only two.
Now that the Bureau OF Ordnance con sup
ply WHITEHEAD and HOWELL torpedoes. 1t
naturally desires boats to carry them. The
expense Of construction Is comparatively 80
slight that eight OF these craft would not be
too many to undertake.. and oil could be
ready within u year. The Pacific coast
should have its share.
It is evident that Mr. HALE's bill names
the classes OF vessels needed. and reduce
ton in numbers could be made 80 as to
bring down to sl.5OO.OOO the first annual in
stallment on them. There are also con-
tinuing installments to be provided for on
vessels authorized in former years and not
yet completed. but on some the final pay
ments will soon be made. The Fifty-second
Congress may rest assured that the people
in appauding its frugality will no less
heartily commend the utmost 1t may do
toward building up the navy for the pro-
lection Of our land, our rights. and our flag.

The Claimant's Snap.

When In 1890. the Claimants friends. the
same persons who are now bowling against
the SNAP Convention. were engaged In
an attempt to drive out the regular Democ-
racy from the municipal administration OF
this town. and deliver it to Mr.. PLATT and
the Republicans in preparation for Repub-
lican success in 1892. the Claimants own
personal feeling and wishes could only be
Judged by inference. He did not have the
courage openly to support the treachery
proposed. He skulked. But it was per-
fectly fair inference that he agreed
with his friends and worshippers. and that
he was. in fact. behind the movement which
they were making to betray the fighting
Democracy in its strongest place. Every
body made that inference. and 1t was iusti-
fed. That battle was watched eagerly by
Democrats everywhere, and most eagerly by
the Democrats OF the South. to whom the
defeat OF the regular Democracy would have
been as the points Of the Federal bayonets
that show through the Force bill. When
the smoke cleared away. the body OF q
highly stuffed Mugwump Bird was seen.
it's head stuck beneath tho sand in hope OF
concealment.
The Claimant has had few friends among
Democrats since then. Now when the same
old gang OF Mugwump shriekers is pre-
tending that 1t represents the Democratic
party Of New York, and that there is any
reason other than the political gotre Of
GROVER CLEVELAND for surprising that the
Democrats OF New York don't know when
they want their State Convention to be
held, 1t may be worth while to notice that
the Skulker Of 1890 is openly and shame
lessly favoring the Mugwump attack upon
the regular Democracy. and favoring 1t for
the only reason there is in it. because it is
the last dying speech Of exposed and con-
victed Mugwumpery. We reprint this
morning from the Philadelphia Press. Re-
publican journal which would DO delighted
formation given by its New York corre-
spondent. a man known to be singularly
fair-minded and not prone to the making
OF rumors and suspicious. in regard to the
Claimants relations with this Mugwump
demonstration against an early Conven-
ton. II there is anybody in the remote
Businesses OF the State Of Washington. for
instance. who still believes that the pre-
tended indignation OF the Mugwump pro-
test against to-day's declaration OF the
preference OF the Democrats Of New
York as to the Democratic candidate for
President. means anything more than q
last attempt to rally the faithful around the
colossal convexity Of GROVER CLEVELAND.
we invite that unbelieving Washingtonian
to read the excerpt from the Philadelphia
Press. Nor must he doubt because the
truth comes from Republican journal.
When did tho Claimant choose Democrats
for his contidants and cronies?
The political death chair is ready: and
not all the kickings Of the condemned nor
all the wailing Of his gang can postpone
the execution.

The triumphs OF American ship armor at
Annapolis and Indian Head. under our Naval
ordnance Bureau. have had their effect In
Europe. We find even special and lead
ing champions OF compound armor submit
ting homogeneous steel plates for official FIR
ing tests. and achieving success with them
which is not In the least surprising. The an
nouncement OF these results has been accom-
panied by the statement that almost as
good" effects can DO had with compound ar
NOR: but that seems to be q method Of letting
the manufacture Of the latter down easily. In
warfare what Is only almost as good as 1t might
be is not safe to trust to. since the enemy will
very likely get the very best possible.
1t ia also noticeable that the alloying OF steel
with other substances especially nickel. which
had its first test on large scale under our
Ordnance authorities. as applied to ship armor.
is now made q careful study by the British
armor manufacturers. Long ago it passed
beyond the stage Of experiment with us. nickel
steel being regularly adopted in our service.
and now turned out in the plates manufac-
tured at Bethlehem and Pittsburgh.
Finally. tho leading British armor makers
think that they have found methods Of surface
hardening which will be as good as the HARVEY
super carburizing process. This also is very
likely. since that process has been carefully
and fully described. and there is no reason why
others should not follow.
But 1t is tho first step that costs: and tho
point to notice is that. after remaining long
time in utter insignifcance and obscurity in
this matter. our country within the last eigh-
teen months has gone to the front and taken
the lead. In fact the most judicious course
for the British navy. in that struggle with
neighbors and rivals which permits no point Of
advantage to be wilfully sacrificed. Is to follow
our pioneering. II 1t once adopts the right
system OF manufacture. the defensive feature
in it's war ships will be all right.

future. and the common affection and care
for children would be destroyed. and with
them would go the pillars upon which the
family and society rest. Her sentiment ID
sound but her argument Is not strong
enough to require its recital here
The vice OF Mr.. DoNIsTHoRpE's plan is Its
assumption that marriage needs no other
regulation than ls supplied by the natural
impulses themselves and by the moral
sense OF the Individual. His theory might
work "among people In an advanced state
OF civilization" such state as they may
get into at some remote period OF the fu-
ture; but, as yet. where Is that state to BIO
found in the world? The vast majority OF
the race have not advanced very far from
barbarism, or they would not require the
threatening Of the penalties OF the criminal
law. for instance. The polygamic instinct
is not destroyed by any means. Monogamy
is only Western institution. and even IN
Europe and America practical but Illicit
polygamy is frequent.
uence he talks onlv OF an ideal condition
in an ideal society. As men are. the insti-
tuition OF marriage as protected by the
State Is. on the whole. the most successful
OF all institutions for the welfare OF exist
ing society. It affords necessary safe
guard for maternity and for the care and
support Of the family.

Tho Democratic Eagle.

One little lesson needful to the forlorn
hope Mugwumps who are In Albany on the
FOOLS errand of pcrsuading the Democratic
party OF New York that it doesn't know its
own mind. will be given to-day.
The Democratic party Of New York is
governed by the rule OF tho majority. That
majority will express its wishes to-day.
When the Democratic party OF New York
sinks into such slough OF paretical abject-
ness as to be willing to let handful OF po-
litical popiniays. rank outsiders. Reform
Club amateurs. and universal kickers give
It orders. the Committee Of Fifty may get o
Job. But that will not be to-day.
Meanwhile the Democratic Eagle scars
and screams in the joyous consciousness
that there is no stufflng in the Democracy
of tho Empire State to-day.

Tho naval construction bill which Mr..
HALE has introduced into the Senate calls
for three battle ships OF 1900 to 10000 tons
displacement. two armored coast defence

and eight torpedo boats. The appropria-

A Crank's Ingratitude.

The Hon. HENRY w. BLAIR OF New Hamp-
shire has long been known as the most
complex and many-chambered crank that
has ever come under the observation OF
science. There have been cranks whose
specialties Of mental eccentricity may have
exceeded any one speciality Of his, but as a
universal and all-around crank he defies
competition. BLAIRs last performance
shows him to be not only versatile crank.
but also one Of the most ungrateful OF men.
Perhaps II man stands on his head all the
time his heart is displaced.
Gen. HARRISON has been good friend to
BLAIR, whether from pity or from desire
to get him out Of the country 1t is unneces-
sary to inquire. BLAIR was bound In
common decency and gratitude to help
Gen. HARRISON IL he could and to stand by
him in any event. Instead. he has written
Enthusiastically absurd letter In
which he announces that he Is candidate
for the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent. Somebody must have been hoaxing
the poor crank. Hear what he says
twice have declined although strongly pressed TO
allow the use Of name as candidate for the Repuo
nomination for the Presidency. At one time was
assured that not less than ftynno votes were pledged
was In 1884.
Yesterday was called on behalf Of men from
another part OF the country who will be members OF
the next Convention. to consider the came question
again. and have decided that shall accept and
deeply appreciate tho honor Of support which may
be given as candidate for the nomination at Min.
ueapolis."
This is OF itself sufficient to show Mr..
BLA1R's mental condition. Anybody who
can believe that BLAIR could have had fifty
nine votes in the Republican Convention OF
1884 Is capable Of believing that Tartarus is
flre-escape factory.
Whoever are the testers or the maniacs
that have addressed themselves to BLAIR.
his dishonor in the matter Is the same. I'm
less his friends. II he has any, plead In con-
fession and avoidance that his mental recu-
liarities are sufficient to make him morally
Irresponsible. his course in accepting an
invitation. even bogus invitation. to be
candidate against Gen. HARRISON. 10 very
nasty instance Of ingratitude.
