Pulitzer and Gould

When the late Jay Gould sold the
New York World to Joseph Pulitzer,
says Colonel Cockerills Commercial
Advertiser, il was with the distinct un-
derstanding that William Henry Smith
should have an interest in the paper.
As soon as Pulitzer got possession of
the paper he kicked over the agree
ment with Smith and borrowed money
from w. G. Whitney and others to pay
off Gould's notes so that he could feel
at liberty to attack him as a monopo-
list and plutocrat This he did as soon
as he was out of Gould's debt. AL
though Mr.. Gould was in way the
greatest benefactor that Pulitzer ever
had, he took delight in holding the
great financier up to scorn and CON
tempt. He wished to prejudice the
public against very rich men. Pulitzer
is now ranked among the milllonalres
of Europe and America, thanks to Mr..
Gould's courtesy, but for the dead Cree.
sus he has no compassion.

OUR NAVAL Development
Secretary Tracy'S Report of the Pro-
greSS of the Past -Four Years
MANY VESSELS COMPLETED
Arguments in Favor Of the Nicaragua
Canal--Progress of WORK On the
Great Northern

The secretary of the navy, in his an
nual report, sets forth the fact that
when the present administration came
in on March 4, 1889, besides the old and
obsolete wooden ships only three mod
ern war vessels were in commission.
During the present administration
nineteen new vessels, with an aggre-
gate tonnage of "a, ,S32 tons, mounting
two Pinch, six l0-inch, sixteen S-inch
and eighty-two 6-inch guns, all of
which with the exception of five of the
earliest have been manufactured in this
country, have been completed. Three
new steel tugs have also been con-
structed and put in service. There are
in process of construction eighteen new
vessels, certain to be completed should
the armor be delivered within the next
year, of aggregate tonnage of 80, 497
tons, and mounting altogether twelve
13-inch, six 12-inch, sixteen lO-inch,
thirty S-inch, thirty-two 6-inch, thirty
eight 5-inch and thirty-fOuT 4.inch
guns, all of which have been or are to
be manufactured in this country.
The development of the past four
years has not been confined to ships
alone. At the beginning of this adj
ministration, says the secretary, the
naval establishment was entirely des-
titute Of certain elements of efficiency,
each one of which was indispensable to
It's practical employment as "a fighting
force, and in the absence of which, if it
had been possessed of hundred ships,
would still have left it in a condition of
paralysis. These were: Armor, torpe-
does, heavy rapid-firing guns, armor-
piercing shells, smokeless powder and
high explosives. The secretary de-
tails at length the noteworthy progress
in the production of these things, and
says the progress noted by which the
United States has emerged from its
condition of helplessness at sea and by
the employment of its own resources,
has distanced its most eXperien ced
competitors, and marks an epoch in
naval development not only of this
country but of the world. The delays
in the delivery of arnOr have caused
the dates of the final completion of
armored vessels under construction TO
be somewhat later than at first con-
templated. The only compensation for
this delay is the superior quality of
the armor that has been recently devel-
oped.
The estimates in the report for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, for tie
navy and marine corps, s,Iincluding those
for public works and the increase of the
navy, are $2I, AL ,49S, being S2,7l3, l4l
less than those for the last fiscal year.

use their powers in aid of inquiries be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion is unconstitutional and void. Con-
gress, he holds, cannot make the ju-

government. This decision, if sustained
by the supreme court, renders the in-

1t is the fashion of these days to talk
Of great estates as an injury and dan

not this advantage, however, that they
are accumulations of capital which
must necessarily be employed for the

no aptitude for accumulating fortunes
Of their own? They must be put to use
in encouraging enterprises beneficial TO
