clads would be bombarding our ports and
nobody but an ignoramus would talk
about 'fmprovising" an ironclad feet
competent to beat of the British. As
matter of fact the war of 1872, despite the
gallantry of our navy. proved fearful ca
lamity to our coast. New York was block
AIDED for months and its commerce ruined;
SO was Boston and its trade; Washington
was burned; Baltimore narrowly escaped
bombardment. The British troops were
able to land unopposed at New Orleans;
our navy held the seas by its speed. not by
its strength, and was utterly unable to
protect our coasts. Today Great Britain
has fortified dry docks at Esquimalt. Hall

BILE connecting all, with gunboats ready to
enter the lakes and with enough cruisers
to oppose four to each of ours and enough
battleships to oppose seven to each battle
ship under the American flag.
Commander Evans is right. We need
strong navy, and most of all we need the
Nicaragua canal built and under American
control, so that we can rapidly pass our
ships from the Atlantic to the Pacific sea-
board and vice versa. The Pacific coast
viii never get adequate naval protection
until that canal is built. When it is built
our government will be compelled to build
q strong navy to protect it; for with the
canal built and not under our control and
protection our tanks would be turned; we
should be weaker than we are today.

THE NEED OF A STRONG NAVY,

Commander Evans, of the United States

view with our Port Townsend correspond

The ignorance, either real or assumed,
of the Democrats In the House who cut
down the naval appropriation is inexcus-
able. A Georgia Democrat gravely said
that the monster warships of Great Britain
could not come across the Atlantic with
ont the greatest difficulty, referring to
their coal supply. Every reading man
knows that Great Britain has fortified
stations and coal yards on this side of the
sea. at Halifax, at Bermuda, at jamaica
and at st. Lucia. Ii is less than a three

Another Democratic ''smart Aleck" op-
posed increasing the navy because in a
brief srace of time American ingenuity
and industry could improvise vessels to
meet the most powerful ships of the
world. The fact that Perry built his

THE MoKMoss AND PoLYGAMY


President Eliot, of Harvard college, has
been sharply SCALED down" by the East
srn press for his simplicity in believing all
he was told in Utah concerning the aban-
donment of polygamy by the Mormon
church.
1t il true that at the general conference
of the Mormon church." in October.
1890, President Woodruff announced
through "divine revelation" that "polyg-
amy is no longer practice Of the Mormon
church." but only thirteen months later
testimony was given before Judge Loot
borrow by President Woodruff. George @.
Cannon and Lorenzo Snow, the leading
men Of the church, ''that while polygamy
was no longer practiced, it was still one Of
the doctrines of their religion; that 1t was
first taken up through divine revelation,
and that they may still receive other revela-
tions regarding its practice"
The Salt Lake City correspondent of the
Boston Herald writes: "Inasmuch as the
Mormon church believes in the principle
of revelation, according to their sworn
testimony, and may receive such revela-
tion at any convenient time, any thinking
man is justified in fearing that if the Nor
mon church we're placed in a position
where they could practice polygamy with
out the fear of prosecution the revelation
would be received and the practice re-
established. So far as polygamy is con-
cerned. this is one of the reasons why 95
per cent. OF the gentiles of Utah think it
unwise to remove protection and restraint
given by the United States laws"

The argument for clemency to anarchists
that prevailed with the jury in the case of
Ravachol and his conspirators is detest-
able; it is that of expediency. Their guilt
is admitted, because it could not be denied,
but it is argued that to execute them will
only make the anarchists increase and

France. This was the argument urged
upon Governor Oglesby, of Illinois, in be-

anything to chip or crack the wax.

damp, and above all things have pa

Using an upper story, or as they are

OUR BRIDGE.


Friends dwell asunder, but hearts are near,

Invisible bridges connect souls still.
And spirits cross them at Fanoy's will
The days Of old wrought our magic chains
They wove II Of memories, Joy and pain;
II lengthens. strengthens. ~ time goes By:
New links are forging OF smile or sigh.
The trackless ocean our Bridge can span.
And mountain ranges too vast for man:
Tie desert wild cannot break it's spell,
Which owns no limit. IL hearts love well.
IL bridges over the gulf Of Death:
Our dead ones breathe with our own warm
breath:
Our pulses beat with the same keen thrill;
We see them. hear them and hold them still
In the changeless heaven our Bridge takes
rise.
Uniting earth with the far of skies:
It's lights are star CLEANS from angels eyes,
Its echoes the voices Of Paradise.
At times. when the night is still and clear,
When earth seems distant and heaven more
near,
Across the stiffness there floats this song:
Hope ever, true hearts; be braye-be strong,
For Time is brief, but Eternity long"

Greene avenues and walked through the
mammoth sewer, which was lighted
with candles and electric lamps to u

The Individuality OF Ships.

To a sailor every vessel is all individ-
ual. No two vessels, not even of the
same class, are alike TO him. The man
who keeps a lookout in the Portland
observatory can recognize over a hun
dred different vessels that belong to
that port the minute he sees them
twenty miles away through his tele-
scope. He says there are no two vessels
that ever were alike in shape and rig.
"You see the back of friend on the
street some distance away and you
know him by the cut of his jib," he
says.
This is almost literally true in the
case of vessels. An old sailor sees
the difference without always being
able TO explain just wherein 1t lies.
Just as soon as the man in the OBJ
servatory recognizes vessel he tele-
phones down 10 the owners that their
vessel is in sight and will be at the
dock at such a time. Lewiston Me
