BELLEVIEw.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1898-07-08
A National Day OF Prayer.

The president has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
ITO the people of the United States
of America: At this time, when to the
yet fresh remembrance of the unpre-
cedented success which attended the
operations of the United States fleet in
the bay of Manila on the first day of
May last, are added the tidings of no
less glorious achievement of the naval
and military arms of our beloved coun-
try at Santiago de Cuba, it is fitting
that we should pause, and staying the
feeling of exultstion that too naturally
attends great deeds wrought by our
country's cause, should reverently bow
before the throne of grace and give de-
vout praise to Goo, who holdeth nations
in the hollow of his hands and worketh
upon them marvels of high will, and
who thus far vouchsafed to us the light
of his face and led our brave soldiers
and seamen to victory.
81 therefore ask the people of the
United States upon next assembling
for divine worship in their respective
places of meeting to offer thanksgiving
to the Almighty God who in his in
scrutable way is now leading our hosts
upon the waters to unscathed triumph
and now guiding them in strange
land through the dreaded shadows of
death to success, even though at q
fearful cost, now bearing them with
out accident or loss to far distant
climes, has watched over our cause and
brought nearer the success of the
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1898-07-08

A WELL known authority on naval
matters asserts that American war
ships are the best in the world. He
says the Alabama could beat the Bril-
tish battleship Majestic any time in
Q fair combat, and he predicts that be-
fore many years America will be build
ing warships for everybody. "Even
now," he says, ''the United States is
able to build much cheaper than Eng
land or Germany" The London Dali
~ Mail. commenting upon this state
ment, says:
1--WE have verified data and are COM
PEELED to acknowledge the correctness
of the statement. We know also that
there 10 q distinct uneasiness in the
higher ranks of the British navy at
the under armament of our ships"
Now what is the explanation of this
marked superiority. 1t is the wise
protective policy of the republican par
ty that has made possible the expan-
sion of our iron and steel and other
manufacturing industries, and the con-
slant Improvement in processes which
will insure our absolute supremacy in
the line Of ship building within snoth-
or generation. And moreover, we
hope to live to see our coasting and
trans-oceanic trade all in American
bottoms. This is part of the national
ist policy which will prevail from now
