Our Sea Coast Needs.

The view taken by the army OF the de-
fensivo preparations required along the
seaboard has long been familiar through
the work of the Endicott commission and
supplementary studies. But in the current
report of the Bunce board VIC find The same
problem considered on it's naval side, and
the result is interesting.
The points on the Atlantic coast most
likely to be attacked by IN enemy are,
according to this authority, Massachu.
sets Bay, Long Island Sound, and New
York and Chesapeake bays; and the ap.
proaches to these waters must also
be guarded. The points, therefore, to DO
strongly held, at these approaches, are
Portland, Provincctown, the eastern end of
Long Island Sound, Sandy Hook, and Cape
Henry Channel. The entrances to Delaware
Bay and to Port Royal Sound should also
he made secure against hostile occupation.
ION the Gulf coast the attack will be from
the Florida OF Yucat IN channel, and the
natural defence will be III the line from
Tortugas and Key West" On the Pacific
coast the leading points are, of course,
Puget Sound and San Francisco Bay, with
San Pedro, if the project regarding its
harbor is completed.
The naval view in general agrees mainly
with the army view, except that 1t lays EN-.
phasis on a few additional points like Prov.
incetown, T%ortugas, and San Pedro, con.
sidered, perhaps, with reference to the tenn.
porary shelter and resting points of hostile
fleets, rather than to any important loss of
property through their occupation.
Another point made by the report is that
Japan is growing so fast in nava force
that " within a year or two she will over
match us in available strength In the Pa.
ciic." The primary purpose of the study
is that of selecting proper sites for repair
and docking facilities; but it also has a
general interest and value US related to
seaboard defence.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1897-10-03

vention for nominating n Mayor OF the
Greater New York drew near, SETH Low
began to see the need of catering for
its support of his candidacy. Up to
hat time his agents had flouted 1t; but he
knew, as everybody else knew, that with
out II his canvass would be vain. Then,
for the first time, he mustered up courage
TO denounce Tammany as the enemy of
good government, against which its friends
must contend. But 1t was too late. on
fidcnce in his honor aud integrity had been
destroyed. 1t was impossible for him to
get the Republican nomination because in
defiance of his pledge he had accepted an
other from n body founded on open antag.
onism to the Republican party.
The Republicans nominated as a candi.
date for Mayor n brave and distinguished
soldier of the wal for the Union who is
now ono of the ablest and most distin.
guished of American statesmen, by far the
ablest man who was over made Mayor Of
New York from its very foundation. Gen.
TRACY, with the modcsty which is SO
often the accompaniment Of such ability
as his, and in tho spirit Of good
citizenship illustrated in his long and
conspicuous public career, accepted the
nomination, but declared frankly that il
the unity requisite for good government
could be brought about better by some
other man, he would gladly step aside.
What did SETH Low do3 Unity or no
unity, he declared that he would remain.
The very sense Of public honesty and de.
cency will bury his candidacy out Of sight
next month.
All this Is a mere narrative of %indisput-
able facts. How does it strike the con-
science, the sense of honor, the honest pub
lilo spirit of the Columbia University COM
munity3
This Justification Of his pledge by SETH
Low and this determination to crafty his
selfish ambitions at the public expense oc.
cur and are manifested, too, at a time
which in many respects Is the gravest In
American social and political history.
Forces dangerous to civilization are gath
ering In New York, and a man like Gen.
TRAoY is needed imperatively to lead the
forces of law and order and civilization ar
rayed against them.
1t is not improbable, nay, it Is probable,
that in the next century the young men In
Columbia University will have to fight
even more bitterly than the manhood Of to-
day must now fight for the preservation OF
the social structure. May they be truer
men, loftier patriots, more honorable citi.
zens than SETH Low, for II they are not,
they will fly as towards from the citadel il
will be their duty and their privilege to
defend.
