MATE LEROY.
The National tribune., 1893-10-12

BeSs men interested in seafarng matters have
by their nearer touch with the life lent their
aid to dispel certain i'll found preudices against
the Navy.
Our recent difficulties have also shown us the
need Of more efficient coast defense and brought
homo to the entire country the fact that if we
are ever attacked by foreign foe the first blow
will come FROM the and not from the
land.
Coincident with this awakened interest is
Congressional action tending toward an en-
Iarged Navy and revived merchant marine.
Various reasons have been given to account foT
the decline of the latter. One reason is
apparent.
AT the close of the rebellion England had
made great strides in the art OF iron shipbuld-
ing, while the war had retarded the develop
ment of our interior. The resources of the
West held ont greater inducement both for rain
and adventure than the sea. and the soldiers
from the coast naturally became pioneers be-
yond the Mississippi even as many Of them had
been sailors prior to 1861. The prairie schooner
replaced the ocean clipper. To-day the interior
peopled, farming Overdone and manufacturers
seeking a foreign market, the granger men of
the West as we'll as of the East are ready to
man our new ships
To far-seeing minds the times are, therefore,
ripe for this new organization looking toward
the advancement of our coast power While
there is no nation which theoretically cares
more for its seaiaring than ours, il is doubt
full if there is any people that practically has
done so little for lis sailors
Unlike England the United States is of con-
tinental magnitude; and the citizens of the
West, while rivsling tho Inhabitants of the
seakOard in their honor of the Navy of the past.
are totally ignorant OF the details Of q man-of-
war or the life OF its officers and crew.
If the Army and the militia are mutually
helpful, how much more does the Navy need an
intermediary TO keep the records before the
people? what should this Intermediary be and
how should it be organ zed ? are questions that
are agitating the minds OF the lawmakers.
Before answering, several points seem settled
namely, that it is the maiured policy OF the
Government not 20 maintain large Navy. and
that our scac0ast is In defenseless condition
Ii Is further apparent that a National militia
IS not IN accordance with the traditions Of the
country, and that therefore State pride should
be evoked to assist the movement. Moreover,
the commercial portion OF the community is
accustomed to see al! enterprises developed from
small beginning TO large results.
The subject of 4 Baya! reserve IS practically so
new that any one system for bringing it into
active life must necessarily be more or less
tentative, but none can succeed unless it takes
into account the aforementioned influence.

New York Republican Ticket and Platform

New York Republican Ticket and Platform.
The New York State Convention met at
Syracuse and nominated the following ticket:
Edward S. Bartlett, of New York City, for
Judge of the Court of Appeals; Gen. John
Palmer for Secretary of State; James A. Rob-
erts for Controller; Addison B. Colvin. of
Gens Falls, for State Treasurer; Theodore G..
Hancock, of Syracuse, for Attorney General
Campbell W. Adams, of Utica, for State En-
gineer and Surveyor
The platform adopted invites all law-abiding,
self-respecting, and patriotic citizens, regard
less of party affiliations to unite in effort
to rescue the State from the de8potic control Of
an utterly selfish and personal machine, COM
posed of five men, whose conspiracy took shape
in the THEFT of the State Senate two years ago
The New York Bar Association is commended
for its denunciation of Isaac II. Mayaard'5
conspiracy to steal the Senate. The Demo
cratic Legislature is charged with breaking
every pledge to the people made by the Demo-
cratic party. The Republican party is pledged
to institute needed reforms without regard to
personal or party advantage. On National
issues the platform declares
We reatfirm our devotion to the principles
embodied in the Minneapolis platform; we
commend Republican Senators aud represent
atives in Congress for their sturdy adherence
to the cause of sound money, stable currency,
protection to American industries and the wei
fare of the American wage Garner, fair ballot,
and the just recognition of the services of the
Union veteran. We believe that the declara-
ton made in the National platform of 1892 in
favor of protective tariff has been brought
home to numerous industrial communities and
myriad families of wage. workers by the pres
ent uncertainty existing in all branches of
industry, and which is undoubtedly due, to q
large extent. to the fear of an indiscriminate
reduction OF protective duties now in course of
progress at Washington"

TIE NAVAL RESERVES.
Something About Our Uniformed Citi-
zen Sailors.

Bearing the same relation to the Regular
Navy as the National Guard does to the Regu-
lar Army there exists the Naval Reserve. This
organization is the outcome of plan which
took but little time to show its wisdom in
practical demonstration and rapid growth.
The Naval Reserves are the pets of the Navy
Department now, and each Secretary is so anx-
Ious to build up and keep in action this insti-
tuition. that the various State organizations are
privileged and important bodies, and can have
much for the asking at the hands of the De-
partment.
Like the National Guard, the Naval Reserve
has an annual outing of a weeks duration,
which is spent in corresponding way to that
of the soldier boys, except that whereas the
Guard uses the field for its practical outdoor
exercises. the Reserve uses ships and harbors
and beaches.
weeks exercise may be said to consist of
days routine work about ship either in some
karbor or on cruise, drilling at the guns dress
parade on shore in blue uniform, drill on board
cruisers, boat drill 12-oared races, target prac-
tice with six-inch or eight-inch guns, firing
200-poUnd shells from on board the squadron, a
night attack by boats upon the ships, sham
attack by boats on shore batteries, the marines
