Great Brifain'S
Naval Increase
From the Times-Herald.
III- ,.a.a,,,a,,, 90 The n

From the Times-Herald.
1P HE statement Of the first lord OF
the admiralty, George J. Cos
chen, on Great Britain's supple
mentary naval programme,
which was delivered in the house of
commons on Friday, shows that the
British government propos as to aikerc
tenaciously to it's "two-powrr system"
no matter how heavily anv Other ma
ton NAV increase it's naval budget.
In the original British programme
only two battleships were taken into
account, but in consequence of the ac-
ton of Russia the government, in or
der to carry out it's policy of keeping
the navy of Great Britain equal to the
com bned fleets of any two powers, is
compelled to present supplementary
programme asking for four more
battleships. The Russian programme
provides for four cruisers. Great Brit
ain will match this with four battle
ships and twelve destroyers, making
the entire expenditure for new ships
about $4,000, O0G.
OF course Mr.. Goschen maintained
that this increase in the naval pro-
gramme was not intended as a men,
ace to Russia or to any other power.
Great Britain is not looking for quar-
rels with her neighbors. Her COM
merce and her colonial dependencies,
in the opinion of her statesmen, re-
quire firm adherence to the policy laid
down a number of years ago.
The proposed enormous increase in
British naval armament invites COM
parison of the present fighting strength
of the navies of the world Compare
tive tables prepared from information
officially compiled by the British gov
ernment in response to a parliament
tary inquiry make the following show
ing for the leading powers in the mat
ter of battleships:

The Trading Stamp.

The trading stamp is no more in
the ''Parlor City" The final blow
against the enterprise was delivered
meeting of the Retail Grocers' associa-
tion, when the following resolution re-
garding the trading stamps was adopt
ed:
Whereas. Many merchants in other lines
of business as we'll as our own have re-
Gently discontinued the use of trading
stamps, on account of which special ef-
for is being made at this time by the
stamp companies to induce merchants TO
continue giving them out.
Resolved. That We the Binghamton Re-
tail Grocers association denounce in the
strongest possible terms the use of trad
ing stamps of every kind and nature.
First, because it is contrary to good.
sound business principles to educate GUS
toners to expect a gift with everything
they buy. Second, 1t is an unnecessary
tax and expense upon the merchant.
Third, Any merchant handling these
stamps must in some way get the cost
of the stamps from his customers or he
cannot afford to give them out.
At its birth the trading stamp
scheme appeared to be one of the most
attractive of bats ever placed before
the class of people who are always
anxious to get something for nothing,
and the Indifference with which the
arrangement was received by the easy
public has been a matter Of surprise
everywhere. In this city, it is alleged,
many merchants who had an aversion
for the scheme entered into the trad
ing stamp combine because they ex-
rectd that it would control the retail
business of this vicinity in a short
time and they feared to be out in the
Geld. The result has been contrary to
expectations, very few people taking
the trouble to bother with the stamp
boot.s. From the action of the Bing.
hamton grocers. however. it seems that
there was danger that the trading
stamp scheme would not die a natural
death in that city.

The Carlists are making little pro-
gress in Spain. The pretender hur-
riedly left Brussels on Saturday for
switzerland, owing very probably to a
gentle hint from the Belgian govern
ment. The government is watching
closely his movements throughout the
country and their efforts for mischief
are fettered by the general indiffer-
ence of the people and the continued
loyalty of the army. The Carlist out
break may be general when IT comes,
and will. of course, add one more to
the unutterahle woes of the peninsula.
Don Carlos expects that the conditions
of peace when they are concluded will
cause a revolution, aud he Is right. 1t
is altocether another matter how that
revolution will trend. Meanwhile men,
bers of the Spanish ministry are at
tributing to President McKinley's i'm
pressionableness the one insufferable
difficulty that stands in the way OF
peace. The fact is that the Spanish
government has made no direct over
lures for peace either by her respon-
sible ministers or by accredited pleni-
potentiaries. Until she comes to direct
issue, the president must be impress
sionable, for his judgments must be
guided by the issue of the war. At all
events our demands will not likely be
lessened by a continuance of the war.

LITERARY NOTES.

The fiction number of Scribner's Maga-
zine has been an institution for decade
In II have appeared many notable short
stories that have made their authors IA
nous. 1t has also been the occasion for
several novel and successful experiments
in color-printing. This year the colored
cover is one of the four prize designs by
Albert Herter, and it is a brilliant ex-
ample of decorative printing. The most
ambitious scheme in color-printing un-
the reproduction of eight full-page de-
signs by Henry McCarter which accom-
pany f. S. Martins noble poem THE
Sea Is His" The way in which the shad-
ing of color is attained is mechanically
ingenious and artistically effective. 1t is
novelty in color printing, even for ex-
perts.
The War has necessarily crowded out
some of the illustrated short stories.
Richard Harding Davis continues his
brilliant Chapters of the War with anus
ing description of the life at Tampa Just
before the sailing of General Skaters S
expedition. He aptly calls 1t THE Rock
ing-Chair Period of the War" The con-
trasts of character seen on the piazzas
of the Tampa Bay hotel; the amusing
differences of point-of-view among the
troops from various states; indeed, all
the romance and comedy of the i'm
promptu army assembled at Tampa In
May and June are depicted by Mr.. Davis.
Following the text very closely is a Sc
ries of illustrations from photographs
made by Dwight l.. Elmendorf which are
not only realistic but artistic.

THE FLORIDA GIRL.

Red rose was ne'er so sweet TO press
Upon d rtd-rose mouth.
AS lips of her that l caress,
My Sylvia Of the South:
The scented air is in her hair.
And In her twilight eyes

or loves own paradise.
oh, happiness amid the flowers
OF this fair lotus land!
We laugh away the witching hours
Together hand i'm hand,
While in my breast the sweet unrest
OF love undying grows,
Until say, "Be mine for aye,
oh lovely Southern rose!"
And then she lifts her regal head
And opens wide her eyes,
AS il the serious words I've said
Occasion her surprisc
She speaks at last-suspense is past
My fate-what shall Il be?

Profanity of Today.


The new ordinance regarding pro-
family in New York city, which is prac-
tically the cid law existing IL most
states, seems to be causing not only
extreme criticism, but actual conster-
nation in certain quarters, although a
suburban resident swore twenty five
dollars worth the other day and un-
complainingly paid the five TO a New
York justice, evidently not regrettinG
the outlay. That the enforcement of
this ordinance seems to be regarded
as necessary is not a flattering indica-
ton of municipal or national progress
in the way Of culture or morality. 1t
is however encouraging to see some
one prominent in municipal govern
ment, who is interested in this species
of reform in the metropolis. The time
has arrived when profanity Is not toll

have gone out Of fashion, and while
refraining from profanity in the pres
ence OF women and children is con-
sidered imperative, there is a large
proportion OF men. and among them
those whose opinions and respect are
worth cultivating, to whose ears it is
decidedly Objectionable. Under strong
provocation a man may have TO .xer-

using so-called strong language. Yet

hnement and familiarity with good
society, swear habitually In ordinary

Now, 1t is obvious that we cannot 60

maintain pleasant relations with them If
we hold them rigidly to our standards. 1t
cannot be done without appearing to them
as narrow, intolerant and oppressive. We
must know their language, we must be
tolerant of their customs, we must be
charitable toward their fail!ngs, we must
recognize their inhertances, and finally,
we must not assume TO be perfection our
selves. There is real danger that in our
impatience TO achieve quick results, in
our masterful desire TO run things in our
conceit of transcendant superiority over
all the rest of the world, we shall unduly
antagonize weaker races and end by
simply pushing them to the wall. II We
are to be teachers, helpers and protectors
rather than conquerors, we must use the
weapons of knowledge and toleration, and

that we will not Amerlcanze by the

Inspection of these comparisons
shows that Great Britain is so far
ahead in naval armament that no ma
tion can expect to catch up with her,
even though she abandoned for a time
her "two-power policy" Comparison
with other powers, however. shows that
the United States is rapidly assuming
a commanding position on the seas.
We are ahead of Germany in battle
ships and stand next to France in
cruisers
With five battleships in active SER
vice and eight new ones building and
projected we are in a position to easily
claim third place among naval powers.
