England's Naval Progress in the VIC
torian Reign.

During and since the Jubilee week the
London journals have printed innumerable
articles setting forth the progress made by
England in many directions since the
accession of VICTORIA. Among these the
most interesting to Americans are those
which deal with the expansion of the Brit.
ish navy, which sixty years ago ranked in
respect of effective strength only third upon
the list OF European naval armaments. but
which is now supposed to be equal, II not
superior, to those of Russia and France
combined
When VICTORIA came to the throne in
1897 her country's sea power had shrunk
10 shadow OF Its former greatness. There
had been time during the struggle with
France when the British fleet had reached
the amazing total of 1,239 ships, manned
ny $4,000 men, and when the naval esti-
mates were more than Sl15, ,OOO, 900, a
gigantic figure for the nations resources at
the time. In 1887, on the other hand the
naval estimates were less than $25. 900.
ooo, which sum, under the still surviving
regime OF jobbery and corruption, counted
Tor much less than 1t would now. There
were but $1,000 men on the navy lists,
and the number of line -of.b battle shins
had declined from 2s6 to o3. In
December, 1897, when the rebeIlion
of Canada demanded display of force
there was at home only ono shin of
thirty-six guns available. and vessels had
to be recalled from the Portuguese and
Spanish coasts before four ships could be
despatched to the scene of trouble. OF the
ninety-three ships of the line on paper, yery
few were fit to take to sea, the result being
that England was incapable OF coping with
Russia, much less with France and Russia
combined. When In 1s4O the Turkish
Egyptian contest came near embroiling the
English with France, their feet In the
Mediterranean was inferior to hers. For
number of years, indeed, thereafter the
French had larger number of line
of-battle ships in commission. Since
then the English have rebuilt their
fleet, and now In the jubilee year
they own sixty-six armored battleships
having a displacement far greater than
that of the 2S6 ships of the line in 1910.
They are spending this year on their navy
the sum of $111, 800, 900, and arc using
money more economically and wisely than
at the beginning Of the reign. Within the

den, and, pointing at Mr. STILES, regrets
that there should be "only one member NJ
the Park Board who has any conception of
the idea OF park or whose opinion upon
that subject is worth consideration" 1--WE
are no better Off than we were in the old
days" says the Times.
Again situation has arisen when the
protests of the solid press of New York are
needed against the breaking down in the
Park Department of the protecting an.
thority of art by an ignorant Park
Commission, submitting to powerful,
strenuous, and private interest. And
again New Workers may congratulate
themselves that the real and perma.
nent Park Commission of this city, the
New York press, which from the beginning
has studied and guarded our great park
system with admiration and respect for the
genius originally implanted In It, is again

than we were In the old days. Three of the
present Commissioners are as blind to the
principles of their trust as they are to hero

to be, all the same. Within the last few
years the artistic professions, seeing the low
standard of our public art and seeing also
that the artistic authority existing In the

Architect and of such additional expert
counsellors as were called upon from time
to time. was too feeble to withstand the I'm.

themselves into single well.organized

Mugwumps and Social Fircbrands in
Alliance.

The course pursued by the Mugwump
newspapers, of New York more particu-
larly, is now stubbornly and spitefully in
opposition to the unanimous conservative
sentiment of this community, though that is
the sentiment to which they have assumed
to appeal specifically.
Papers like the World and the Journal
are continuing their vile efforts to provoke
and exasperate social discomfort, envy, and
hatred; but Mugwump papers like the Ne,y
York Times and the Epening Post are not
less actively, though more insidously, en-
gagged to the same end. They are all sub.
stantially in alliance to resist and retard
the advancement of prosperity. knowing
that 1t would destroy their occupation as
prophets and agents of evil.
The first two papers are trying to wreck
society. The other two are welded to
economic theories TO which they cling with
the tenacious bigotry of small minds. II
