to this answer IS the conduct of the aver

when the soldier laddie whom they espe-

is the JOY of their eyes and the pride of

than showing him off, unkempt and I'M

or ladies delight" was ever treated half
so well as the untidy fellow who went
to fight for America and the Cubans and
has recently come back to tell the tale Of
his dongs and receive his rightful need
of glory.
"The very first thing after Charlie comes
home, and I've had a chance to hug him
sufficiently" recently declared the young
wife of a Chicago volunteer who did
himself proud" at SibOney, Il am going to

THE RAILWAY sPOTTER.
DisagreeabIe Business and Queer
Methods Employed.

MehOuS Employed.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"Of all the disagreeable, harrassing,
ve-wearing, thankless jobs on the face
of the earth that of a spotter is about four
hundred degrees the worst. He is held in
contempt by his feilow-men, he is hated
by the working element and he is despised
by even the people whose interests he is
protecting. I've been in the business fifteen
years and have yet 10 find one redeeming
feature connected with it,"
Such was the pessimistic view of prl-
vate detective, as he preferred TO call him
self, who has probably done more work
i'm his particular line than any other one
man in the South. He had just returned
in laying off about fifteen street car con-
ductors. His official report charged them
with constitutional inability TO distinguish
nckles belonging to their employer, tech
nically known as knocking down"
Spotting is a queer trade, and here in
New Orleans are a number of men en-
gagged in it with more or less steadiness all
the year around. They are not employees
of any agency, and each works on his
own hook" as the saying goes. Their en-
ployment comes principally from the large
transporta ton companies, but now and
then they pick up an outside job and make
a report on some suspected individual who
has the handling of other peoples money.
At present there is little doing in New
Orleans in the spoilers line, but the OPP

Many Chicago women are solving the

late war. When a man has gone through
this experience several times his supply
of splinters, bullets and so on becomes de-
pleted. 1t Is whispered In this connection
that "a certain Chicago curio shop is doing
a thriving trade in so-called Souvenirs Of
the Cuban war"
At the button parties the duty Of the

BISMARCK'S PHILOSOPHY.
A Collection of His Epigrams ana
Sayings.

From the London News.
A decision as to principles is never ar
rived at by parliamentary debate nor by
majorities.
Appeals to what they do in England are
our misfortune. Give us everything En-
glish that we have not got-English fear
of God, English veneration for the law,
the entire English constitution, and also
the whole English system of land-ownng;
English riches, English common sense
especially the English House of Commons
in a word, everything which we have
not. and then 1 also will say, you can
rule US as the English are ruled"
A certain amount of positive Christian
ity is necessary for the ordinary man if
he IS not to become dangerous to human
society. The belief in the revealed word
Of God Is frmer rooted in the people than
the belief in the sanctifying power of any
particular article of the constitution.
There is nothing on earth but hypocrisy
and juggling.
In Gods almighty hand we are without
counsel and helpless if he will not help us.
We can only bow ourselves In humility to
his decree.
We Germans are too well educated, too
critical to tolerate a constitution.
The entire constitutional life is always a
line of compromises.
Political Questions are questions of pow
err not of right.

l believe in human reckoning.

the big guns has beeen greatly in- creased since 1 was Secretary of the Navy.
 I believe the 10-inch gun to-day Is as effective as the 13-inch gun was when we built the Oregon in all but one par ticular, and that Is in the explosive force of the shell. But either shell, if 1t exploded in ship, would be terribly destructive and no ship could stand many such explosions.
 I look for large increase of the navy in the immediate future, because l be- lieve the war has given the people of the country an object lesson in the value of the navy which will create public sentiment in favor of large na- val appropriations.
 Our navy must be greatly increased. The present Congress should not ad- journ without appropriating s100,000, 900 to the construction of the new navy. We need strong and faster ships. and we need many more fast and strong armored cruisers. Indeed, think the distinction between the ar- mored cruiser and the battle-ship will practically disappear in the near fu- ture. The crying need of our navy to- day is faster battle-ships. The advance in construction since the Oregon and her sister ships were designed has prac- ti ally rendered the 16-knot battle ship obsolete, except for two purposes to defend home ports when attacked or to attack the land Notifications of an enemy But for service upon the open ocean the faster ships of other nations have rendered them practically use-

morsd cruiser? A protected cruiser has protective deck beginning below the water line and arching over the ma chinery. With a bulkhead at each enc 1t forms steel box around the machin- cry. A shell striking this deck on either side would likely be defiected. But a shell might strike the arch perpendic- ularly and pass through.
 The armored cruiser has the protec- tive deck and has also a belt of armor on the outside of the ship beginning be- low the water line and extending up to the level of the protective deck, so that a shell which would strike either di- rect blow would strike the other at an angle and so be defiected. The New York is of that type and I believe she is the first armored cruiser ever built Other nations have cooled the type and improved on 1t. We ourselves made a better ship when we built the Brooklyn. Since that time other nations have been going ahead and we have been stand ing still. To-Cay Spain has six armored Spain's cruisers carry two 11-inch guns, Brooklyn eight S-inch guns.
 And yet I don't know that I should be afraid to have the Brooklyn meet any of the Spanish ships. There is the difference in he men, of course; and our ships would have eight large guns against the Spaniard's two, thus hav- ing four chances to one to make hit, and several hits with the S-inch gun would be likely to settle the business for the Spanish yesse' The power of

fected, and so the three battleships were armored with Harveyized steel. There are no ships afioat having the defensive strength of these three bat tleships with their eighteen inches of Harveyized armor
 We were much exercised over the question of the freeboard of the new ships After the design had been ac cepted, the department received a pho- tograph of an English ship with only two feet less of freeboard, which was submerged like a monitor when at sea- We were very anxious until the first battleship had had her trial as to whether they would be dry ships" or so wet as to greatly mar their useful ness at sea. They proved to be dry and excellent sea-going ships. Before the character of the Oregon class had been determined the Iowa was designed, and she was called a sea-going battleship with a much lighter freeboard Stand ing as far out of the water as she does, she is a much larger target, and the necessity of building the turrets for her big guns so much higher increased her weight greatly.
 Ship for ship our navy Is the equal of any navy in the world, although in some respects we have not kept pace with the rest of the world in recent years. We originated the armore1 CT uiser. Do you know the difference betweer protected cruiser and an ar

only is the 10-inch gun sufficiently ef- fective against any armor, but it can be operated In case of necessity by hand We have yet to learn whether heavy shot striking the turret of the 13-inch gun would not put the mechan ism by which 1t is operated out of or der and disable the ship to that extent. If this happened to the 10-inch gun, as I said, 1t could be worked by hand; the 1S-inch gun could not.
 The recent act of Congress authoriz- ing the construction of monitors of 14 knots speed, not to exceed $2,500, 900 in cost, is greatly to be regretted To build these ships having If knots of speed will compel the department to build single turreted monitors. As monitor Is designed for harbor defense the question of speed is of secondary consideration. Eight knots is just as effective in harbor as A. And yet the extra cost of the machinery to give this extra knots of unnecessary speed compels the construction of single turreted monitor when at knots of speed there could be constructed a double-turreted monitor which would be just twice as effective. These mon itors are not worth 900 and their construction Is waste of money.

less.
 It Is folly to send a sixteen-knot ship to cruise in the open sea in search of twenty knot ship All other nations are now building eighteen and twenty knot battle-ships. And yet 1 regret to observe that it IS proposed that we shall continue to build the sixteen-knot battle-ship. In building the Indiana and Oregon class we built the strong est battle ships known to the world. Other nations changed the strategy by building battle-ships strong in of fensive and defensive power, but which could outrun them. We go on building the same old ship.
 The need Of the hour Is new type of battle-ship-one which in it's combi- nation of speed with offensive and de- fensive power will surpass anything yet designed. It Is not enough that we have strong ships or fast ships. We must have a ship which Is both fast and strong. This other nations have and we have not. Of course if we build a battle-ship with twenty-one knots of speed we must sacrifice something of armor and armament. But still such a vessel, as an all-around fighting ma chine, would be greatly superior to any, thing we have in our navy to-day.
 The new ship should be of 12,000 or 13000 tons. It shouia have not over twelve inches of armor. Few ships of other nations have heavier armor than this now. It should have large coal ca pacity to give it a wide radius of &C., tion It should be able to steam twen- ty-one knots an hour, and 1t should be armed with eight 10-inch guns. Not
