Since the war in South Africa began there

parent uselessness of Englands great naval

the situation at the scene of hostilities the
cent of efficiency. Not even in the matter
of conveying the large fleets Of transports
does it appear as of value. for the imme-
diate enemy has no navy and has not even
a showing of sea power in the form of pri-
vateers. The British transports are as safe
in their passage to Cape Town as though
they were running up the Thames on a
holiday trip. This fact has led some critics
to believe that England is suffering today
because of the enormous wealth which she
has locked up In a useless navy, whereas
her land forces need rehabilitation and en-
largement at a rate which seriously draws
upon the public treasury. This Is not pre-
cisely the proper view. 1t does not account
sufficiently for the war potency of the navy
as it floats today, useless though II may be
in the Transvaal campaign. Herein lies the
value of a state of preparedness for war,
which was so effectively demonstrated by
negation during the Spanish campaign.

to induce, IL II does not wholly cause the
prevailing state of European neutrality.
Indeed in this light it may readily be seen
that the uselessness of the fleets in this

Dictated in this informal way that the legis-
laturc, in session. accepted it as instruc-
lions.
1t seems strange that objection should be
made by anybody to q change which would
insure an equally prompt disposal of this
important matter in all the states. The
fight for a direct vote of the people calls
for time and patience, but pending that
some mode of instructing state legislatures
in the matter Of a senatorial election ought
to be put into general use. Those states
which have tried an experiment are pleased
with the result. The old method leads not
infrequentiy to scandals, and at the same
time to waste of valuable time.
y Legislature deadlocked on the question
of choosing senator is not only an invit-
ing target for corruption, but it neglects
while the contest continues neary all the
other business expected of 1t. AT Rich
mcnd. therefore we have just had an OBJ
ject lesson of the advantage of even an in
formal expression of opinion as to a popu-
lar choice for senator given prior to the
meeting of the representative body which

Mr.. Hoar writes and speaks with purity
and felicity. His aspira tons are all high.
That he would have his country prosperous.
and all Of his countrymen. to the humblest.
happy just and enlightened, admits of no
doubt He believes in freedom in progress
and in all things OF good report. His life
testifes to this. No man familiar with his
record will dissent from the statement. So
that in examining his anti-expanslon reso-
buttons introduced in the Senate yesterday
we have only to consider Mr.. Hoar,s alto
gether faultless aspirations in connection
with the practical, homely. everyday condi-
tons that confront us.
Mr.. Hoar's position, stated in one SEN
tence. Is that before undertaking any new
work of civilization, we should complete
that already in hand. How about suffrage
in the south? How about the corruption in
the affairs of our cities? How abou, the in
security Of the ballot box? Mr.. Hoar thinks
that We are moving too fast; that not until
We shall have brought affairs at home here
to a state of perfection will we be justified
in undertaking anything for Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines. He believes in
pushing on toward perfection on the lines
ne indicates. But will his fellow-anti-ex-
pansiontsts follow him?
For examples. AIR. Hoar insists that We
should make the negro safe in his home
secure in his vote. equal in his opportunity
for education and employment, and to bring
the Indian to a civilization and culture in
accordance with his need and capacity"
HOW vigorous assistance will Mr.. Tillman
and Pettigrew, both anti-expansionists, af-
ford Mr. Hoar on that subject?
Mr. Hoar insists that We should enable
great cities to govern themselves IN free
dom. in honor, and In purity" How vigor-
Gus assistance will Richard Croker, an anti
expansionist. afford Mr. Hoar on that sub
ject?
Mr.. Hoar insists that we should make
the ballot box as pure as sacrament n
vessel. and the election return as perfectly
in accord with the law and the truth as
the judgment of the Supremas Court
How vigorous assistance will William Goe-
bel. an anti-expansionist. give Mr.. Hoar on
that subject?
Mr.. Hoar. of course, is entirely right in
his contentious that the suffrage should be
thoroughly protected and honestly exer-
cised, and that the government of our great
cities should reflect alone considerations for
the public veal 1t is likewise true, as he
delicately suggests, that our house here at
home greatly needs setting in the proper
order in several particulars. But what has
that to do with the necessity of upholding
the flag where we have deliberately planted
Vt? How greatly encouraged shall We be TO
improve matters here al home if we pursue
a course with regard to distant possessions
certain to bring US into contempt with the
outside world? II we are to drop out of the
general procession of nations until we be-
ccme perfect, We shall drop out for good.
