Spain as 10 saislead the people Our
navy ought 20 be much stronger than
Il Ii IN order to enable us to cope with

OF Spain. but a. between that nation
and ours we have no reason 70 be

According % a conservative author
ity OF British origin this country now
has i've completed bstsieships. which
are rated as first class. that is. ships

with a speed not under thirteen knots
an hour. Spain is credited by the same
authority with only one ship OF that
grade. The Spanish navy comes nearer
the strength Of the American navy in
frst-class cruisers than in any other
department. having eight such vessels
against five for the United States. Our
vessels are rated as being more ef-
fective. as they are not only faster.
but are more modern in make and are
better armed. According TO the British
classification, everywhere recognized as
q safe standard, this country has thir-
teen second-rate cruisers. while Spain
Is given only six, and these are not
nearly so effective as the American ves-
sells in this class. In third-rate cruisers,
una.2aored gunboats, torpedo boats.
sloops and other small war craft, Spain
outnumbers such vessels in the Ameri-
can navy. but a considerable proper
ton OF the Spanish boats are anti
quated and one OF our frst-class bat
tleships ought TO be more than q match
for a considerable number Of them In
turn.
Both the navy department and Gen.
Miles are devoting particular attention
to coast defenses, and In this respect
we are probably not so badly or as
we would be IL we had a more for

tenders include the monitors. which,
although not available at sea, would
give good account Of themselves In an
encounter with an enemy in smooth
water. 1t may be an extensive lesson
to learn. but IL We are not able TO meet
a nation like Spain in naval battle we
have spent great deal Of money to
little purpose. This confidence in our
strength should not delude us into the
belief that We are more than a match

Sheriff Meyer appears at last to have
boiled over into q statement OF his plans.
He tells the Chehalis correspondent OF the
Post Intelligeneer that after election he
proposes to take a hand In the matter OF
regulating the morals of the city. This
is the same Meyer that yesterday morning
proclaimed TO the world that the Gibral-
tar OF his ignorance as to the existence
Of gambling In Seattle was !mpregnable
TO all assaults OF enlightenment and in
formation. This is the same Sheriff Meyer
that proclaimed that his attitude before
election on the morality question would
suffer no change after election. This is
the same Sheriff Meyer whose apolosists
have been writing reams and tones in JUS
tiflcation Of his course OF non-interference
In strict city affairs. He lays bare the
whole PopuIist campaign OF deception OF
the respectable portion OF the community
and coercion OF the sporting element. But
Meyer will do nothing after election, az
he did nothing before. He is afraid.
