Ships AND FORTS.

1t would be worth while to get the
true story OF the attack by the japanese
feet upon the Chinese shore defenses at
We-Hai-Wei and Port Arthur.
After spending a great many millions
OF dollars on battleships. great guns and
forts, we are anxious to know just how
the great modern inventions Of destruc-
ton and defense act in real warfare.
Big guns were used on land during the
Siege OF Paris. but no test OF land de-
lenses against a naval attack under
the modern conditions OF war has yet
been made.
1t looks very much as II the modern
protected fort with the disappearing
Armstrong gun had been too much for
the Japanese fleet. 1t Is very possible
that the fire OF the Chinese was bad.
1t would be very strange II they should
show proficiency in the handling OF the
monstrous yet delicate machinery OF a
great breechloader. Yet 1t looks as II
the fleet had been utterly unable to
reach the fort, and had no alternative
but to retire. In other words. the mod
ern land defense proved itself impreg-
nable from attack by sea.
The incident has an important bearing
on the question OF defending the coasts
OF this country. 1t Is OF especial i'm
portance to the great city OF New York.
which Is the central point in our sys-
TEN OF coast defenses.

WORK FOR A BETTER NEW YORK!

But little more than two months now
before the election day upon
which so many issues vital to the NUM-
Cipal interests of New York should be
decided. Within these two months such
a campaign of education should be car
ried Oh In the city as never has been
conducted before. The people have been
bossed SO long. and the reign of bossism
has seemed SO absolute. that they have
given up counting on ways and means
for the revolt to which they should be
melted in their own interests. They
must be stirred up. interested. inspired
and encouraged. In the possibility of
arousing them and OF bringing to the
polls for Il solid vote In the right way
lies the hope OF restoring good govern
ment TO New York.
Are the reform clubs attending to this
work? Are good citizens doing all they
can individually to spread the under
standing OF local issues! Are the mis-
sionaries In the cause OF progress be-
yond partisanship cultlvating the field
spread before them? There Is no time

THE TARIFF CRISIS.

The struggle over the tariff at WASH
lngton has now reached a point where
II looks as II there was no choice ex-
cept between the Senate Tariff bill and
no Tariff bill at all. II this Is really
the case, II success on the lines laid
down by the Wilson bill, by the Presi-
dents letter and by the Chicago plat
form is no longer possible. then moth
ing remains except to take what we
can get, and accept the Senate bill as
the lesser of two evils.
This is not what the people OF this
country wanted, II Is not what they
the country needs. But the close margin
Of strength in the Senate has placed the
balance of power in the hands OF lit
tie group identified with the cause OF
monopolies and trusts, and the invarl-
able current of modern legislation has
shown us that when the interests of
the trusts get control OF any situation
the rights OF the people are sacrificed.

Many customers OF the Company have

Will probably continue doing so.
1t Is not likely meeting OF the

Is no necessity for 1t. except in event of
positive action on the Tariff bill. At
present trade Is very duh ana only
routine matters are disposed of. So far
the Company has closed twelve distill-
cries. leaving the Great Western. Peoria,
Schuefeld Riverdale. Chicago ana the
Consolidated Cincinnati the only ones in
operation. Mr.. Beggs looks for all of
these, except the kiverdale, TO close
during the present week.
The Great Western Is now using
wheat in the manufacture OF high
wines. Wheat can be secured cheaper
than corn. thus reducing the cost OF the
raw material. AS long as the present
high prices OF corn maintain wheat
will be used.

The newest things in tea balls are es-
pecially designed for wedding gifts and
are put up in tempting cases, which add
greatly to their worth. They are lovely
as objects. and no doubt many will be
sent to prospective brides, but as tea
balls they are open to criticism. Expert
tea-makers assure us that no whit of
aroma must be allowed to escape. that
the pot must be kept closed. and even
the spout must have a lid. These
charming devices have handles Of
enamel, handles that are inlaid and
handles that are decorative delights,
but they entail an open pot and must
be dangled from the fingers, in place Of
being dropped into the boiling water.

Gifts at Baptism.

Gifts to infants at their baptism are
OF ancient origin. Formerly the spon-

child. These spoons were called apostle
spoons, because the figures of the twelve
apostles were carved at the stop OF the
handles. Rich sponsors gave the COM
plete set OF twelve, while for those who
were not so opulent four was consid-
cred the proper number. and poor spon-
sors would content themselves with Of
