The account which Gen. FLAGLER has to
give of the current work In gun co%nstruc-
tion is very encouraging. Up to July 1
there had been completed for the forts
80 eight-inch guns, IT t~en-inch, and 81
twelve-inch, making IA total of 1914 heavy
guns. In the four months that have since
elapsed there must nave been additions, in.
Guiding some OF the guns the Bethlehem
Works are making, of which 10 were COM
pleted some time ago. OF mortars 212
will be ready by June 30 next.
Why do we not see more of these guns In
the fortsi Because the carriages and the
emplacements are not ready for them. Sec
rotary LAMONT fully explained. in ono of
his reports, how the lack of vigorous cen.
trail direction had caused the work on tho
different elements of coast defence to go on
most u%ncqually. and the development of
a l2-inch gun carriage of the disappear
ing type was also very tardy. But we have
saving of expense of lo.inch batteries by
the use of the disappearing carriage should
be about one-half, while the rate of fire
should be at least tripled, giving six times
the efficiency for the same expenditure"
1t appears, then, that the policy of "wait
and get the best" although risky, nodoubt,
of late years, in our threatening relations
with several foreign powers, luckily has
turned out we'll, thanks to our immunity
from war, and to tho strengthening Of the
fleet, which is the other factor in coast
defence. 1t is no longer necessary to con-
slider whether guns ought not to be put o
lifts. 80 as to DO available In an emergency.

DRAWING TRADE TO NEW YORK.
A summary or the Work Done Last Fall by
the Nerchants' Asaocintiou.

IN vs. tho ~oEAo AA4Nt - ~
the Merchants' Association.
Tho Merchants Association has prepared a
summary from its registers showing the num-
Der of merchants who visited and registered at
the rooms of the association from Aug. 0, to-
getbcr with the number registering from each
State and from other places outside of the
United States. From that statement it is shown
that forty-nino States and Territories were rep
resented by visitors to New York from the date
on which they first began to arrive up to and
including the time when the time limit on tho
last OF the reuuced-rate tickets expired.
The campaign for the spring trade. the asso-
citation announces, will be waged even more
actively than was the one for the fall trade. and
1t is hoped that it will produce results which
will be of substantial benefit to merchants
throughout the United States who desire to
visit New York for the purpose Of personally in
on its list of non resident members more than
$4,000 names. The list OF resident members has
crossed the l 100 mark.
The summary OF the register shows that quito
a number of the visiting merchants came from
bermuda, while from far.away Honolulu, in the
Hawaiian Islands, ono came. Mexico sent one,
New brunswick seven. Noya Scotia five, and
Jamaica one. From the United States the
largest number of visiting merchants naturally
came from New York State. The second State
in point of numbers was Ohio, with Pennsyl-
yania third. The number from New York was
III, from Ohio 457, and from Pennsylvania 36l.
The smallest number from any State was ono
seven, Utah nine. OklahamR two, North Dakota
three, Montana nine, New Mexico seven. Indian
Territory three, Idaho three, Oregon eight. and
Arizona three.

the plan already outlined in The SUN the Post
Office Department has begun to change the
names of the postal stations in and about New
York by giving them names identified ns far

Station. z to City Island, The new names go into
effect Jan. l, 1898. Mr.. Van Colt was to-day

ly, would have been in worse shape than 1t

gems Union. After having Inundated itself
Il would have been defeated In the CITY, and

countable for a result caused by the surren-
der of party principle at the demand Of

We suggest to the Republican newspapers
which arc criticising the New York Repub-
lIcans that they should rather learn and
enforce the true lesson Of the election here.
It is that the only hope Of their party rests
now and will continue to rest in the firm
and exclusive maintenance OF the princi-
pies of the St. Louis platform at every
election, municipal, State, or Federal, which
shall be held from this time forth, at least
until the great contest for the Presidency
Is decided in 1900. New York was lost to
Organism simply because of a Republican
conspiracy to prevent the party's fighting
the late campaign on those distinctively
Republican issues. II the Republican party
had not been maliciously divided by such
treachery, 1t would have carried both the
city and the State Of New York, and it
could only have been victorious on them.

The Progress of Woman in This
Country.

FL country.
An interesting contribution to the No
vember number of the North american Re-
cieto Is the article on "Woman's Political
Evolution" by Mrs. J. ELLEN FOSTER,
President of the Woman's Republican AS.
ISOLATION of the United States. The SUBJ
jcct is discussed from more points of view
than would be indicated by the title. Mrs.
FOSTER demonstrates the recent develop.
ment of her sex by directing attention to
the industrial and educational, as we'll as
the political, status of women in our repub.
lie at the present time.
1t is true enough, as Mrs. FOSTER SAYS,
that we now encounter women almost
everywhere in the industrial world. The
cook, the w~asherwoman. the seamstress,
the dressmaker, the milliner, and the
teacher have been Joined by factory opera
tives, clerks, shopgirls. stenographers,
typewriters, and members of the liberal
professions. 1t is no longer true that the
breadwinners are almost exclusively men,
and that women are sheltered keepers of
the homo In the higher grades of labor
there are, ut the present time, millions of
women VINO go to their daily toll at the
sound of the bell, the shrek of the
whistle, n the stroke of the clock
with the same regularity evinced by
men, and urged by the samc ~irresist-
tblc necessity. Labor statistics Indicate
that a large proportion of the wage-earning
women OF the country not only support
themselves, but also are the m~ainstay of de-
pendent families. The transformed indus.
trial condition of women today Is the out
come OF those progressive forces In obedience
to which the factory has superseded the
loom and the spinning wheel, and In consc-
qucncc of which the creamery and the cheese
factory have made improbable the work
formerly performed by women on the farm.
To u large and increasing extent, the work
performed by women Is identical with that
done by men 1t follows that the i~ntellec-
tual and moral discipline OF labor Is shared
10y the two sexes.
Next to the modification of woman's in
dustriai condition, we are invited to con-
sidei her improved opportunities of educa.

THE DEPRESSION IN COTTON.

Spot cotton Is now quoted at SIC.
per pound in this market, which u the
lowest price reached since the big crop
year Of lS94-95, and, with that singleex-
ception, Is the lowest price experienced
in nearly fifty years. This price u
equivalent 70 much lees than So per
pound, or s25 per bale, on plantations.
AS low as present prices are, there
are not q few who predict that twill
60 still lower. This prediction OF
lower prices is based upon the very
large crop estimates which are current
In Europe, and are generally accepted
BY consumers. Advices from the pro-
ducers are decidedly confusing, although
the majority claim that the crop hss
been overestimated, that picking BE-
gan very late, and that there has been
throughout u scarcity Of labor,
However this may be. II is an IN
deniable fact that spinners are not
Purchasing as they ought, and are
operating on hand-to- mouth bash,
evidently ou the assumption that prices
must 60 lower. II Is, therefore, not,
astonishing that stocks are accumulat-
ing on this side OF the Atlantic, and
are below the normal on the other side.
II is the general belief that spinners'
stocks, or the invisible supply, was
never smaller. 1t Is evident, therefore,,
that as soon as spinners are convinced
that the market has touched bottom
there will be a very pr0nOunced
scramble for coltor. That was the
experience in the season Of l894.96,
when spinners were actually better
supplied with cotton than now,-New
