A WOMAN has horsewhipped Herr Most.

THE BEST NAVAL POLICY.

The importance of what THE DISPATCH
has said about not following too closely
the models and policy of European nations
IN naval construction is emphasized by the
recent trial of the wire wound gun at
Birdsboro, Pennsylvania The New York
Herald editorially says of the trial that it
marks the beginning of new era in gun
making" Also, after quoting Secretary
Tracy's declaration that the Annapolis
trials of armor plate stripped off half the
protection of the armored feet of Great
Britain and of most of the fleets of the
world, the Herald adds: $50 this expert
ment at Birdsboro sends to the junk shop
the heavy guns not only of Great Britain
but of all other powers"
Let US hope that both assertions may be
true. But let US suppose for an instructive
thought that the United States had built
a large number of vessels protected by the
armor and armed with the guns that
these assertions relegate to the past All
the money would have been wasted, and we
would have been supplied with very in
ferior type. As it is few vessels of that
sort have been built; but not enough to
characterize the navy. The policy of
constructing few vessels of the received
type, while experimenting along the line
of new ideas, has saved us from that
gigantic blunder
Moreover, it is the combined results of
the experiments in armor and guns that
mike the low-free board and turreted coast
defenders, protected by the new armor and
armed with the new guns, the most
formidable vessels for defense against
naval invasion that naval warfare has yet
perfected.

A REAL duel is but a tragic farce, and a
French duel is the farce pure and simple
with the tragic element entirely eliminated.
one of them insults the other in discussing
the same. The result is that the honor OF
the man insulted must be vindicated by
making his body target for the weapon OF
his insulter. Nothing could be more ridicu-
lous, and nothing could be more thoroughly
typical of the weak side of French nature.
What the chances of personal encounter or
the comparative skill with arms have to do
with the honor of the two contestants it
needs a mind as illogical as a Frenchman's
to attempt to explain.

MEX1co's DOUBLE REBELLION.
Bandits Win Victory, While 5000 In
dians Are Also on the warpath,


dians Are Also on the Warpath.
LAREDO, TEX, Dec. 22.-It is known there
was battle on the 18th on Mexican soil near
Guerrero, between Mexican troops and revo-
lutionists, ending with n victory for the
latter. Five soldiers were killed The
revolutionists, 400 strong, continued their
march toward the interior. When last heard
from they were within a few hours march
of the town of Ceralvo. The Mexican troops
down the river have been given orders to
march into the interior, and that no further
trouble will come from this side of the Rio
Grande. Captain Oscar Elting, with Troop
Z, Third United States Cavalry, from Camp
Pena, left San Antonio last night over the
International and Great Northern for Fort
Mcintosh, from which post they will take
the field in winter campaign against the
bandits now operating in the lower border
country.
Dozens of families of white and Mexican
settlers in the Sierra Madre country have
been massacred during the past few weeks
by the Yaqui and Mayo Indians. The two
tribes have 5000 warriors on the warpath
and have their rendezvous in an almost in
accessible canon of the Yaqui river, from
which they make sudden raids on the set
tiers. The uprising now amounts to q rebel
lion against the Mexican Government, and
although the troops have been endeavoring
to suppress the raiders they have failed in
every attempt.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-[SpeciaL l-Senator
German smiled to-day when the suggestion
was made to him that the Democrats might
not care to have control of the Senate at the
cost of q combination with the Populist
Senators. Said he: "If any one imagines
we don't want the Senate he makes a very
serious mistake. We not only want the Or
panization of the Senate. but am quite con-
fident we are going to have it." In answer
to a question as to what the Democratic
Steering Committee is doing about the de-
batable Legislatures in the West, the Sena-
tor replied: "We are taking things easy and
watching the other fellows. The Republi-
cans are considerably exercised over our de-
termination to look after our own interests
in those States, and they are holding q eau
Gus every other day, now, to Offset the effect
of the meeting We had some time ago."
The Senator declined to go into details as
to what is being done in behalf of the Demo-
Gratis, but he intimated that the interests of
the party are not being neglected in those
States where the Legislatures are close.
