The Newport News Daily Press says
editorally.
II one may judge by the cruiser bids
rendered 10 the Navy Department by the
Trigg Company Of Richmond, IT is quite
certain that the Capital City shipbullders
are in earnest in their desire to assist
IN building up the new navy. Their offer
to build two nineteen-knot boats. in ac-
cordance with original plans of their
own, well under the figures allowed by
Congress should receive the careful con-
sideration OF the Bureau Of Construct ton.
II the extra two and half knots can he
secured without weakening the vessel
either structurally or in armament the
proposition should be received without a
moments hesitation.
The weakest point in the plans provid-
ed by the Navy Department Is the slow
speed OF the ships. With battleships
running eighteen and twenty knots an
hour, it seems ike folly 10 build cruisers
with a speed nearly one-hftb less. The
peace work cut out for the new warshlps
might be done just as well by gunboats,

The Blackstone Courier is ten years old,

We reproduce in this issue Of the Spec
tator q statement fItm Senator John W.
Daniel relating to the next nominee for
the Presidency by the Democratic party.
Senator Daniel. according 70 this inter-
view. creates the impression that If Ken
lucky and Ohio 90 Republican Mr. Bryan
will not be the logical candidate in 1900
This is a most remarkable utterance for
Senator Daniel to make. when 10 is
known that ohio is a Republican state
and seldom If ever goes Democratic.
Does the Senator mean to say that he
will forsake the noble champion OF the
plain people in case a Republican State
goes Republican? We can hardly be-
iieve that this is the John w. Daniel Of
1872 and lS96-Staunton Spectator.
And so John w. Daniel, the man whom
all Virginia loves and honors, is to be
scolded if he dare refuse to bow the knee
10 the man from Nebraska.
