DISCIPLINE AS GRIM HUMoR.

If there is anything in the world
about which there is no humor per Sc
it is military and naval discipline; one
would as soon expect to get humor out
of a problem of Euclid. Yet the per-
feet discipline on the Maine gave rise
to a bit of grim humOr. When the ex-
plosion came that sent the great bat
tleship to the bottom, and some hun
dreds of human souls into eternity.
Captain Sigsbee was engaged in writ
ing to his wife. In the twinkling of
an eye all the lights were out and the
captain rushed for the deck. 1t seemed
as though the judgment day had come.
In rushing out the captain was met by
o Maine orderly. who saluted his SUI
perior and said: Sir. 1 have to in
form you that the ship has been blown
up and is sinking" Whatever may
have been the captains previous
knowledge and experience of the fact.
he now knew it officially. 1t was a
splendid example of discipline. rare
bit Of grim humor Hugo, in speaking
of the Old Guard at Waterloo, says
that discipline means that when an
officer says to mis- men that two and
two make five. the men accept it with
out question and obey. The discipline
OF the orderly who informed Captain
Sigsbee of the explosion was of as thor
ough a type as this. and is the best
possible testimony to the morale of the
men on the Maine.
The disaster in Havana harbor re-
calls that at Apia in March, 1889 when
the Trenton and the Vandalia went
down. Their sinking was due to hur-
ricane that swept over the harbor, but
the way in which the officers and crews
in the presence of an enemy
they were powerless to combat. was as
admirable as anything ever witnessed
in all naval experience. And as the
British ships passed out of the harbor,
anxious but unable TO aid the Ameri-
can vessels, the band on the American
flagship played the Star Spangled
and the guns from the British
ships fired salute. That was a salute

& POLITICAL PREACHER CON-
DEMNED.


The New York Mail and Express,
cnce the most religious paper in the
United States, falls foul of Rev.
Thomas Dixon, jr, for preaching a po-
litical sermon, in which he most round
ly denounced the president for his Gu
ban policy. It says his remarks last
Sunday, in so far as they dealt with
the Cuban question, were in the nature
of a political speech of the most violent
kind. and that a building temporarily
dedicated to the worship of God was
outraged by cheers and applause, loud
denunciations of Spain and of De LONE,
ard demands for war. The result was a
scene such as we are glad to believe
would be impossible in any other re-
ligious gathering or through the utter
ances of any other clergyman in the
city of New York" The Mail and Elk
press very properly says that ii IS
neither Rev. Mr.. Dixon's duty nor his
privilege, "as a minister of God, a mes
songer of peace on earth, good will TO
men, to throw himself into a political
harangue which burns with references
to De LONE as a liar, to the 'puny man
ayers of our foreign affairs to the
United States government as getting
down low in the mire,' to the whine
of stock jobbers and peddlers,' to a
pusillanimOus press and TO a declar-
alton that war between Spain and the
United States is inevitable, now or
later
No self-respecting minister would
talk in any such way in or out of the
pulpit, and this particular minister de-
serves all the censure that can pos
sibly be given him. But our New York
contemporary SAYS that Ito stand for
the credit of the nation and against re-
pudiation. as a great moral issue, as so
many clergymen did in 1886, is a legiti-
mate function of the church This
same Rev. Mr.. Dixon was one of the
clergymen who, in 1896, stood for the
credit Of the nation and against re-
pudiation;" in other words, who were
opposed TO Mr.. Bryan and the silver
cause: and he stood up for it in pre-
cisely the same manner that he stood
up Cor Cuba last Sunday. He found
language quite inadequate to express
his great adherence of Mr.. Bryan and
the cause he represented So far as we
now recall, neither the Mail and Ex-
press nor any of the New York papers
condemned the Rev. Mr.. Dixon because
of his attacks on the Democratic leader
and party. He was as justly open to
censure then as he is now. and should
have beeD condemned then as he is
now. He had no business preaching pol
itics two years ago, and he has none
now. The pulpit is not the place for
politics. no matter who introduces the
subject there.

BATTLEsHIPs AND CRUISERS.

Perhaps all who have read or heard
of the sinking of the Maine have Won
dered or asked what is the difference
between = battleship of the first and
second class. The same. question, with
some additional ones, has been asked of
the Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger. He consulted the
experts OK the navy department, and
answered as follows:
The difference between a frst-class
and a second-class battleship is simply
a difference in degree of power. both
offensive ard defensive. That is, the
fiTst-class battleship has more and
heavier guns. and more and thicker
amor, ard, as a necessary sequence,
is a larger vessel. The division of YES
sells % war into classes is arbitrary,
and dependent upon current size, and
not the same in all naVies. What is
today a second of third class ship was
few years ago. a first-class ship; the
largest vessels being always designated
as firSt-class. E'irst-ciass battleships of
the present day range from 10000 to
l4.ee0 tons in displacement. The battle
ship IS vessel designed for a place in
the first line of battle, and thus cap
able of withstanding heavy fighting
with the least possible damage. Her
qualities are necessarily a compromise
of different clements, and the art Of the
designer lies in so proportioning the
offensive and defensive elements as to
produce the most formidable vessel pos
sibie on d given displacement
Cruisers are divided into two classes
-2rmored and protected. The former is
q vessel carrying d moderate amount
OF armor which, in modern vessels Of
this class. IS confined mostly to the
gun positions and armorcd deck. Her
offensive and defensive power is less
than that of the battleshia. while her
displacement may be nearly the same,
or even more. \ greater proportion of
that displacement has been given to
weights of oroDelling machinery and
fuel thus giving her q higher rate of
speed AID ability to make longer
cruises without recoaling.
The protected cruiser is q vessel in
which these latter qualities are still
more emphasized. She must possess the
highest rate OF speed for sea-goins yes
sells. and the greatest possible steaming
radius or distance which she can steam
without recoaling. Her Offensive and
defensive qualities are reduced to the
minimum for fighting vessels In
modern ships of this class, the

anything heavier than 6-inch guns, but
they are rapid-lire; that is, the projec-
tile and powder charge are in one piece.

CURED to so arrange the ammunition

fensive qualities Of This class OF vessels
are confined to an armored deck, which.
IN some vessels. is as much as six

vessel. and ranges in most vessels of
this class from two to four inches thick.
They are also usually provided with
local armo- or shields at the gun po-
sitions, which is seldom more than
three inches thick.
By displacement in war vessels, or in
any floating structure, is meant the
weight of water displaced by the i'm
mersed volume of the vessel this BE-
ing equivalent TO the total weight of
the structure according TO the well
known principle in mechanics that a
floating body displaces its own weight
of water. This function in war vessels
is the foundation upon which the naval
architect must u-1ortiOn qualities of
offensive defensive and motive power
and general equipment weights, and his
Skill in his profession depends upon
his success in making a combination OF
these qualities which shall come the
nearest to perfection in accomplishing
the desired objects.
Gunboats are vessels of less than 1000
tons displacement, which are designed
for service IL rivers and shallow wat
ers. where they would not be likely TO
be opposed by any considerable force.
In effect, they are naval police, and US
ualiy carry little. if any, armcr and
moderate battery, and do not possess
high speed.
Torpedo boats are vessels of still
smaller class. ranging in displacement
from so to 500 tons but in which every
thing is sacrificed TO extreme speed.
Their attacks must be sufficiently rapid
to attain their object before or very
soon after they are observed, otherwise
they viii fail, as they have no defen-
sive power at all, being Denetrable by
musket fire in most cases. While nearly
all modern vessels Of war carry torpe-
does, these carry nothing else, except
one o. two light machine guns for de-
Tense against boat attack.
Despatch boats are not armored, and
are rot considered as fighting ships,
though used Cor defense. They must
have the highest attainable speed, in
order that they may convey dispatches
to or from the fleet in the shortest pos
sib!e time.
If people who live in Philadelphia,
where most of our battleshiDs and
cruisers are built. do not know the diff
ference between the various classes and
kinds. those who live in the Rocky
Mountains can scarcely be expected to.
AS all the most interesting news for
some days will be naval, the above in
formation viii be valuable.

we have seen is a boom" article from
San Francisco. This article may be
looked upon as documentary evidence
that the colonel is the greatest and
'goodest' man that ever set foot on
Utah soil. 1t tells how he appeared on
the scene in the darkest hours of the
Mormon church's troubles, appeared
just as things do in a dream, Just in
the nick of time to save everything.
Colonel Trumbo appeared on the
scene, sent, as some believe. by Di-
vine Providence" That is in accord
arce with the most approved rules of
meIodrama-
Mr.. Blaine and General Clarkson,"
continues the article, "often talked over
and discussed the character of Colonel
Trumbo, and his ability to make
friends, his ability to make people listen
and his peculiar quality of assembling
all these forces together. They agreed
that never before had there appeared
such a combination of excellent quail
fications in a public man on the scene
of American politics" There is no
doubt that Blaine and Clarkson did
agree as here stated. because it is
stated they did. Nor can it be denied
that the colonel is a great combina-
ton.
This boom article closes with this
sentence: His whole heart and soul are
entirely wrapped up in a brilliant fu-
ture for the growing state and all her
people" Ones heart and soul could
not possibly be wrapped up in anything
better. As each year goes by the bril-
liant future" is certain to grow bigger
and bigger, and so the heart and soul
would be more and more securely en-
cased.
1t IS a common saying that ingrati-
tude is the vice of republics, and it is
much TO be feared that this common
wealth. in whose brilliant future" the
heart and soul are wrapped up,
viii never properly recognize and re-
ward his services to it. It is too bad,
but it can't be helped; this is a cold,
ungrateful world.

MISTAKE OF TIE sUFFRAa1sTs.

The woman sufrragists make mis-
take in their method of conducting
their propaganda. The National Woman
Suffrage association holding a conven-
ton in Washington, adopted set of
resolutions in which they demanded
for women citizens equality with man
in the exercise of the elective franchise,
and a sixteenth amendment to the con-
stitution to bring this demand about;
for mothers, equal custody and control
Of their minor children. and for wives
and widows. an equal inheritance of
property, and asks for women represen-
tation on boards Of education. public
schools, etc
There is nothing at all unreasonable
in these demands. while in Utah and
other states where woman suffrage OBJ
tains they are regarded as the most
natural thing in the world. But the
mistake of the suffragists is in de-
handing them OF the national govern
ment instead of the state governments.
1t is very much easier matter to gain
from the states all the concessions they
ask imam TO get an amendment 10 the
constitution; that they do not realize
this is a strange thing; if they better
understood the method of amending the
constitution they would, for they would
realize that the state legislatures must
act favorably on any proposed amend
ment or a convention called for the
special purpose.
These national conventions have very
little if any influence on public opinion,
for they do not act directly on any con-
stituency, and hence partake more of
an academic nature. Let the suffrag-
lists in each state call state conventions
and they will begin to influence public
opinion, for they will stir it up and in
duce discussion. This is the proper
and only effective way of proceeding.
They might as we'll appeal to the
north wind when it blows as to demand
amendments to the constitution con-
ceding what they ask. They need more
practical methods, and until they adopt
them they viii accomplish very little.
