THE pREssMEN's CONVENTION.

As handsome specimen of the art typo- graph .cal as was ever gotten out is the pam phiet report of the sixth annual con- vention of the International Printing Pressmen's union of North America, held at Toronto on June 19. It is simply ex. quisite and shows that the pressman who did the work took just pride in his pro- fession. It is profusely illustrated and is a great credit to a growing organization.

The nomination of the Hon. ID. Is. Hil by the
Democratic Convention at Saratoga was the
most sensational and at the same time the most
significant political event Of the day. For
months-nayl for years past Mr.. Hlll has been
the target Of Mugwump and Cuckoo denuncia-
ton. lie Is the one prominent Democrat who,
in this dispensation OF mush, has stood forth,
boldly and resolutely, for stalwart party methods
and straight-out party principle. lie has typi1ed
the opposition to toadyism, ndulatlon, and hum
bug. lie has denounced the cowardly surrender
TO crazy Popullstlc clamor, and rcbukcd the
faint-hearted trimmcrs who watched for the
wind OF ignorant caprice. Noisy and garrulous
orators rallied ut the income tax. Mr.. Iilll voted
against II. So-called statesmen loaded tho air
with Democratic protestation. Mr.. Hill defined
his partv's time-honored policy and chung TO It.
And yet the assembled Democracy OF the great
State OF New York yesterday made him their
standard bearer by reclamation. Without a
single Mugwump growl or Cuckoo chirp OF OPP
position or remOnstrance, he was chosen rs the
one man who, In this hour OF Democratic con-
fusion and encouragement, could give the party
hope or courage.
The event Is fraught with meaning and sug-
gestion. II indicates a new and more whole
some tendency. We gather from II that adj
versity has brought wisdom to the party's coun-
ellis, and that, appalled, by the menace Of popular
population and disgust, the Democracy Is re-
turning to the faith and the observances through
which It formerly won the country's confidence.
Mr.. Hill has not been nominated by way of an
swer to the candidacy Of Mr.. Morton. The lat

gentleman, to be sure. and in his capable and
honest hands the destinies of New York would
be safe indeed. But he was not selected on

Fo~rtifying Newport Harbor.

The proposed placing of two mortar bat
teries at Newport is another sign that the
work Of coast defence goes on, although its
progress Is slow. The erection Of these bat
teries will require an appropriation from
Congress, so that 1t may be a long time vet
before they exist, except on paper. How
ever, the plans at least have been formed.
They contemplate sixteen mortars in each
battery, arranged in groups of four, with
sufficient protection for the gunners One
will be placed at Fort Adams, to command
the main entrance or East Passage to Mar
ragansett Bay, and the other at Dutch
Island, TO cover the West Passage. There
are already classmates at each point for the
operation Of torpedoes.
At best. these batteries would form only
a moderate beginning upon the defences of
Newport and the bay but of late years 1t
has been found necessary TO take up the
work Of coast defence by small installments
at each important point, and the engineers
and ordnance officers are presumably hank
full when any progress Is made. Eight years
ago the Notifications Board gave Maria
gansett Bay a reasonably prominent place
among the many points to be defended, IL
being well within the first half OF them.
One of the proposals was to build a power
full turret there containing two enormous
ll0-tOn guns Besides this, there were to
be ten l2-inch and as many lO-inch guns,
forty-eight 1s-inch mortars, and half a
dozen torpedo boats. There were also TO be
submarine mines, and the total cost was
reckoned at S4,a 900. Subsequently the
plan was much modified, and under the
n.aaaaN .AAaa.N sW L. .asl
Bay will be defended by ten l2-inch guns
on lifts, six lOinch and Jour S-inch guns on
disappearing carriages, eighty l2-inch NOR
tars, and submarine mines TO be operated
from two mining m Thus the
present arrangement for two mortar
batteries, the torpedo defences having
been completed, is a very modest proportion
of the total work contemplated.
Still, even this proposal has been made the
subject Of some criticism. 1t has been sug-
gested that Newport you'd DO better OF IL
not defended at all, because then, as an un-
armed city. it would be spared the lombard
ment that resistance might provoke. Yet
the lack Of defences might not guarantee
the city, with its well-known wealth, against
the penalty OF paying a ransom, Besides,
the Government has property OF its own 70

war college, and the torpedo station, the

in its supplies Of war material.
Taking a still broader view, the question
Of what an enemy would get by taking pos

position is one Of strategic Importance from
it's location between New York and Boston,

Every days delay in the sending back to

not and cannot be taken by the Machias, but
that they are likely to be sent soon by the

China station. Meanwhile. we are informed by
our Washington correspondent that the Pope's
anxiety about them has increased. and that he

piece OF business on our side. We entered into

at the best, It must be nearly a year after the
closing of that affair before they can DO seen

and a suitable base Of operations by sea or
land. In the early history Of the country,
forts were built at Newport to guard against
an attack by sea. The British occupied II
during the Revolutionary war, and after
ward, when France sent a feet to aid the
cause Of the colonies, It reHtted there.
II we look beyond Newport, we find fur
Their up the bay the two great manufactur-
ing cities OF Fall River and Bristol, which
certainly deserve protection, at least 30 far
az It can be secured at the mouth Of the bay.
Taunton and Somerset could be made the
easy prey Of landing parties from a hostile
feet, while Providence would also be at the
mercy Of an enemy who should succeed in
passing into the bay. Thus, not TO reckon
less important points, II IL clear that many
seats Of industry are involved in the ques-
tion Of N~arragansett Lay protection, and It
is seen why the Notifications Board as
signed a reasonably prominent place to It in
the scheme OF coast defence.
The leading defensive work Il Fort Adams.
This Is an old-fashioned masonry structure,
carrying q score or more Of old-style guns
including about q dozen 1O-inch smooth
bores, with some old-fashioned mortars and
small siege cannon. It could easily be de-
stroyed by q hostile fleet. However, much
more valuable at this point is on earthwork
situated at one corner Of the fort, which has
an armamen Of two 15-inch smooth bores,
together with four S-inch converted rifles.
The present garrison consists Of batteries C,
G, and NJ, Second Artillery, under Col.
LoDoR, who has his headquarters there, and
Light Battery b. Fourth Artillery. The
great addition to defensive strength given
by sixteen modern l2-inch rifled mortars, in
addition to the mining classmates, is very
obvious. Besides the two mortar batteries
ut Fort Adams and on Dutch Island, It has
been said that q third may be placed on Rose
Island.
Newport will, of course, have to wait its
turn for full defence. Narragansett Bay Is
to be defended, as has been seen, by q large
number Of steel rifles, as we'll as by NOR
tars, and the supply Of the latter may be
considered a reason for delaying the gun
batteries. Under the present plan It Is
deemed wisest to give each of the main
points on the coast the nucleus of a defence,
rather than to concentrate all the available
resources upon one or two Of the more i'm |
portant. But, with the guns now coming
forward more rapidly both from the Water
vliet factory and from Bethlehem, a good
degree Of defence might be obtained at any
one port by furnishing improvised emplace-
ments to such Of them as are ready in case
of sudden need.

IL War ut Hand [?

Causes for international friction have long
existed between England and France. Chief
among them Is the fact that England has
kept Egypt, contrary TO her agreement, and
the French people, az we'll as the French
Government, have been much dlspleased
by It.
Now France Is making war upon NADIA
Rascar, and very likely will take possession
bf that country by force. This probability
the English people resent, and the British
Government is holding extraordinary Cab
lnet councils.
But will they carry 1t to the point Of war :
II France takes Madagascar, England has
got Egypt; and Of the two Egypt is a thou
sand times more important and more valu-
able. Butneither the Government Of England
nor the Government Of France Is free. Each
Il controlled by popular opinion, and by the
necessities Of practical politics. Tn English
people will, Of course, make al cutlery over
che French occupation Of Madagascar, and
Lord RosEBERY and his colleagues may
find IL necessary to yield to the popular de-
mand. On the French side, too, there is Al
ancient grudge against England, which has
never been satisfied, and the feeling Is very
strong ut present that the French navy can
destroy the English, and that such an ex-
plot would rehabilitate France as q puts
pant force among the dominating powers Of
che world.
Yet We are slow to believe that war will
really come out of 1t. Europe is one great
powder magazine, and every effort is inces-
leantly applied to prevent the casting
Of lighted matches.

they have seemed to think that IL was New

We strove TO show them that the scheme Of

to them that Brooklyn would win even
more glory, and gain even greater benefits,
than New York from the carrying out Of
