Fixed and Floating Dsfence..

o Some discussion has been provoked by
che statement attributed to Congressman
LIVINGSTON that he regards the ease
with which the armorclad Aquidaban
runs by the forts at the entrance OF Rio
do Janeiro harbor as u practical lesson
upon the superiority OF ships over fortifica-
tions for coast defence. II he were a mem
Der OF the Naval Committee this view might
be Ascribed to natural zeal for the particu-
lar subject thus committed to his charge !;
but. instead. he Is a member OF the Appro-
priations Committee. which has charge Of
the FortiheAtions bill. 30 that this view Is
hardly promising for a very ardent sup
port from him for that useful measure.
But ordinarily there Is no ground for
raising q controversy between coast de-
fence by ships and coast defence by forts.
Both are absolutely essential to q country
situated like ours; and in this respect our
policy Is that of every maritime nation on
the globe. for not one of them relies exclu-
sively upon fixed or upon floating deiences
for the protection of It's seaboard. but all
employ a combination Of the two.
So far as the experience OF the Aquida-
ban is concerned. 1t would be rash to ac-
eept it for our guidance without taking into
view the armament OF the forts and the
striking energy OF the projeetiles. and
knowing also how long that ship was under
effective range. and what the gunnery
practice OF the artIllerymen was. The bad
shooting OF the eombatants has for a long
time been matter OF Jest. and. apart from
that. nobody would place the armament OF
Fort Santa Cruz and its mate on a par with
such batteries as will command the eastern
and southern approaches 10 New York.
The entrance TO the hArbor OF Rio de
JAnelro. il would also appear. has never
been ObstTuetsd by either tOrDsdoes or
