USES OF THE NAVAL DISPLAY.

The naval display is sure to call forth
the protests of the statesmen of the pen
ny variety and Of the patriots who ex-
pound finance in the village grocery.
They can see no good in it. and they
will figure out the cost to each citizen,
and demand to be told if it is any won
der that "three- fourths of the farms
and homes of the country are mOrtgaged
for more than they can be Sold" 1t will
not appease them to know that the
salutes are being fired with condemned
powder which has no value. They will
cry ont against the system which keeps
navy atloat instead of tying the ships
to the shore until war is declared. In
fact. this display will provoke their fresh
protest against maintaining q navy, and
an Indiana statesman of many years
standing will be quoted as authority for
the statement that the most glorious
victory ever won on water for the United
States was achieved in ships the timber
of which. ninety days before the battle,
was growing in the forests on the shores
of Lake Erie. We have had great deal
of this sort of nonsense in this country.
and, unfortunately, may have much
more of it. Nevertheless. most intelli-
gent people are taking a just pride in
our growing navy, and in the fact that
war cruisers. built after American de-
signs. by American wOrkmen, and of
American materials, are the best of
their class in the world. They are TAX
ing An interest in the naval display,
even if they cannot hear the salvos of
artillery or see the line of battle of the
ships of all nations. 1t is not all fuss
and feathers. The worlds naval lead
ers will become friends and the visitors
will get great deal of useful informa-
ton about the United States. its people
and resources. The wiser ones will go
home to remark that this ia a good
government to keep on friendly terms
with, and every formidable ship
put afloat. under the stars and stripes,
will afford an additional reason
for cultivatinR lasting friendship with
the United States. The naval repre-
sentatives of each nation in the review
will note the progress the others are
making and will come to the conclusion
that naval warfare hereafter will be q
fearfnlly risky business. Nations are
not exactly learning "war no more,n but
they are learning war in order TO escape
the practice of it. In a wider sense, ma.
tons are beating swords into plough
shares" by creating such navies and in-
venting such instruments of death that
no great nation will dare take the respon-
sibility before the civilized world of
making war. Back of the frowning
ships. the great guns, under cover of the
salutes and all the pomp and clrcum-
stance of the naval display, may be seen
the most potent international peace so-
ciety the world ever knew. Even the
cheese pairing statesman, if he will use
his ever ready reckoner. will discover
that the naval display is measure of
economy. as it will teach the naval Off

TRIBUTE TO WHOM 1T Is DUE.

The managers of the worlds fair, now
that it is evident that the great enter
prise will be as nearly complete on the
day announced as has any previous un-
dertaking, are entitled to the highest
credit. From the first they have had to
meet and overcome obstacles that would
have caused most men to give up the
enterprise in despair. Chicago secured
the exhibition after a contest in which
local jealousies were aroused. New
York city, vanquished, and the honor of
location conferred upon a rather de-
spised but very boastful and annoying
rival. turned the cold shoulder upon tho
enterprise. The press Of the Eastern
metropolis has thrown cold water upon
the enterprise. while the boastful news
papers of Chicago have seemed at times
to be determined to exasperate rival
cities to assail the fair. At the outset
there was long delay in determining
the location and constant difficulties
have arisen in regard to the raising
of the millions of dollars which were in
creased as the undertaking developed.
State legislatures displayed anything
but an intelligent interest in the great
enterprise, and Congress has treated it
with the penuriousness of the states
maDship of Mr.. Holman. Until within
few weeks prominent newspapers
have predicted that the exhibition
would not be in readiness for the public
for months after the date announced.
Yet, in spite of all these obstacles, and
in the face of bitter and constant criti-
cism and evil prediction, the managers
have carried the great work forward to
completion. So far as preparing for
and assembling the greatest exposition
of human industry, skill and art that
the world has ever seen, the man.
ayers have been eminently success
full. Even the newspapers which have
cried down the undertaking from tho
start now admit that the efforts
of the managers have been crowned
with success. Criticism is now confined
to "details. The managers and promoters
OF the Columbian exhibition have had
no model from which to make a copy
for the reason that the extent and the
intent of the worlds fair far exceed in
every direction all of its predecessors.
Silently. so far as the rest of the world
was concerned. the "white city" of won
derful proportions and unique designs
has grown up 0oring the past eighteen
months on the shore of the great lake.
1t is now the overwhelming REPUTATION
of hostile predictions and the attacks of
its foes. The very fact of this marvel

THE New York Times exposes a

nays that the Hebrew has a religion to

pretty good religion, while there are
thousands of human beings in every city

convictions and whose lrreligion makes

ment. Why not turn the converting eff

Like birds that chant the birth Of day.
Idreamed saw angel como
Down from those heights and lead me home.
