True and False Economy.

Recent and pending complications
with foreign powers. not perhaps car
lying the immediate menace Of war
but certainly bringing into unusual
prominence the possibility of war be-
tween this countr,' and a for from
without. have lately added impetus to
the public demand for better coast for
titicatiou. rhs demand proceeds from
nu silly eagerness for wan, but is rather
the expression Of the conservative and
peace-lovng citlzenshiD of the nation,
In all respects akin To the feeling which
impels the thoughtful householder. up
on retiring al night to lock M his
valuables and bolt the outer doors.
Some years ago commission of eX-
perts, known as the Endicott board, Gf-
ter careful study, outlined a plan of
coast fortitcatiOn and seabOard defense
which has served consequently az the
ideal of those statesmen who have pos
sessed the wisdom TO appreciate the ne
cessity for this kind Of national life
and property insurance. A consider
able beginning had been made toward
the gradual adoption Of this plan when
the present national house of represen-
tatives reached the, consideration, a
fortnight ago, pf the fOrtiticatiOns ap-
preparation bill. 1t had been the in
tention to build these fortilicatons on
the instalment ten,t1mning through
n series of wears, so as not to concen-
trate an nnwieldy burden in any one
year, With this purpose i'm view the
last congress appropriated within a
small percentage OF what the war de-
partment had asked for. This year,
responding at the wrong place to the
necessity for economy, the house voted
less than one-thhld of the sum asked
for in the estimates, These had con-
tenplated sl3,0O00O0, The house voted
a fraction over $4,000, 900. ..,.yL .-r5

values. on Wednesday increased the
house appropriation To s9,0O0,0OO, this
being substantially the same SUM voted
for last year. In the debate which pre-
coded this vote in the senate me silb~
ject of coast fortifications was dis
cusscd with a breadth of view and
show of real interest in the public well
fare noticeable for their almost total
absence from the earlier discussion in
the house. Senators from the far west

statesmanlike protection Of the great
coast cities from sudden attack in the
event of war. The sentiment OF the
senate, a sentiment virtually unani-
nous, was well expressed by Senator
Teller, who did not believe the United
states was going to have any war

recognized that a great war among the
European nations seemed not far off
and who, in any event, wanted his own

Some Reflections.

Philadelphia Inquirer: "rhe thought
cannot be evaded that these modern
naval monsters. covered with the heaviest
armor and armed with great guns, may
not be such defensible floating forts, after
all. Who knows what would happen ii
one of them should ever be struck in an
engagement by ball from the enemy?
II an explosion from within can hopeless
ly wreck a battleship what would an cX-
plosion from without or the bursting of
dynamite on deck accomplish? Talk of
war. 1t would be a wholesale massacre.
Out on the plains and on the border in
the oldcn days it was the man who got
the drop' on his victim that lived to tell
of the event. May it not be that when
two immense fighting vessels. despite all
their arnored precautions for safety.
open fire upOn each other it will be the
one that gets in the first shot that will
survive? II ever great battle should be
fought all our modern theories may be
smashed into smithereens by the results.
There is aLOther thought, too. May il
not also be that in the continued inven-
tion of high explosives against which
nothing can stand al nations Will
in the end find the way to peace? When
the annihilatioE OF all concerned must
be the result Of warfare nations will not
be anxious to meet each other, either in
the field or on the water"

Philadelphia Times: mo one knows
very clearly what would happen To a
modern battleship If it ever got into bat
tie, but it has repeatedly been shown to
be a very dangerous thing in time OF
peace. The British have already lost
two or three great urmored ships that
apparently went down from sheer inabil-
ity to keep atioat, and the sinking of the
Victoria by collision with the Camper
down at Tripoli four or five years ago.

Opinions on The

so broad target to adverse fate that
sober suspension OF Judgment is impera-

or q single gun, and each piece has a ser
vice equipment of 400 rounds: a heated
magazine, a misplaced wire, coal un-
watched, or wet and ill-packed-any of
these causes work ruin. A vessel like
the Maine is crowded with engines, and
swarms with dynamos. with electric
wires. with special machinery, with cx-
plosives, combustibles. and the chance
and hazard OF fire from every conceiv-
able cause. The annals of these great
vessels in every navy during the twenty
short years in which they have been III

Hard TO Understand,

Syracuse Post: "lt is hard to under
stand how in Il comparatively new ves-
sci, where every precau,ion for safety is
taken. an accident Of this kind could have
occurred, and 1t is equally difficult to
understand how an enemy could approa ch
at night and place torpedo against the
slip. The officers of the Maine knew
that their ship was in an unfrienuly port.
They knew that almost the same pre-
cautions would have to be taken against
surprise or treachery as would be nec-
essary in time OF war, 1t is impossible TO
believe that the vessel was not so faith
fully guarded that an enemy could ap-
proach at night without being discovered
and halted long before any damage could
be done"

thorites. cofressmer and others who

ing opinions util more facts are forth

plosion took pl,ce i'm Havana harbor is a
coincidence w,lch should lead to cautious
Judgment for obvious reasons. And for
