improvements by Americans.

TO the Editor;
would like to say to the narrow minded
letter Of johnny Bull' that even II the Amer-
eau naval constructlorists do make modacs-
lions Of British designs tho mod fcations are so
great that when the vessel is completed It would
take the divine eye to trace any resemblance
Then, again would have my opponent under
stand that It Is quite necessary that success
comes from notifications, improvements II you
will, and that should nation be SO narrow as
not to accept Improvements from another, she
would In no time DO clsssed as used to he -
In the arst place tho Danish taught the English
how to make vessels that would float on water
and the English improved and improved until
their ships wers superior to those OF Danish
build, and America is now doing the same with
the English, We improving and improving
aud will. II We have not already done 80. build
ships that England cannot touch IN any par
ticulAr. We were at one time all English, that
is for the most part. but now after a hundred
years different blood has been poured into our
veins. and We are no longer England. but a new
people, and this is true OF our navy. Our naval
students have, as you state, studied in England
but they have Also studied in France, Germany
Italy and other countries a fact that you were
afraid to mention It would have spoiled your
argument. VIII after a number Of years study
IN all foreign countries Is II necessary that our
architects modify English designs? Why cannot
thsy be notifications OF French or Italian as we'll

Mr.. DanfOrth Nominated.

Governor Cleayes has nominated for
the vacancy on the board of railroad
commissioners, Mr.. Frederick Danforth
of Gardiner. This vacancy was occas-
Toned by the death of Col. Wildes, man
eminently qualified for the place, and
worthy successor. The position de-
mands the services of a skilled engineer
and it is conceded that the prominent
candidates for it were qualified. Mr..
Danforth has made the profession his
life work. He has had long experience
Ia the construction of railroads and is
recognized as one of the leading engi-
neers in that branch of his profession in
New England. He Is the son of the late
Judge Danforth and while not a member
of the bar is recognized as possessed of
marked legal ability and is frequently
called as referee on matters concerning
which his profession has afforded him
practical knowledge. His aptitude for
the law governing such cases is well
known among lawyers who have had oc-
casion to appear before him. Mr.. Dan
forth is man of fine address and inn
presses even the casual observer with
his energy and decision of character
His greatest pleasures are found in his
delightful home at Gardiner and not
withstandng the engrossing duties of
his profession he takes great interest in
the affairs of his city and is one of the
leading members of the Congregational
list society at Gardiner and president of
the Y. NJ. C. A. This nomination is
very satisfactory to Somerset people as
Mr.. Danforth was well know here and
had many warm supporters in this and
other Somerset towns.
