America as a Naval Power.

A bulletin just issued from the
Office of naval intelligence at
Washington shows that the Unit
ed States ranks four in the ton
mage of its navy. Not counting
obsolete vessels, receiving, train
ing and sailing ships, the displace-
ment of American men-of-war is
413, ,525 tons. Russia has nearly
100, 900 tons more; France has ]
million tons the best of Russia,
while Great Britain has 1895
900, or more than her three clos
est rivals together In coast
defense and special service-vessels
the United States leads the world.
Fifteen years ago America was
beneath notice as a naval power.
Her vessels were obsolete types
of the Civil war period and were
ridiculed by foreigners. Since
that time the United States has
come into the front rank of naval
powers. Yet no outcry is now
raised against "nayalism." AT
first complaint of that sort was
made. 1t was asserted that an
increase in the navy would be
subversive of the principles OF

a perilous trip to the Hudson Bay

met that a "sky boat had come in

resolution calling on the secretary
of the interior to prescribe rules

THERE is But ONE REMEDY

Addicka has said in substance that
nobody but he is worthy OF being sent
10 the United States Senate by the Re
matter what the Republicans Of Della |
ware may think about IT, nobody shall |
be elected by them until he shall have
been elected to that office That Is his
ultimatum, and there is no installing |
his present intention. II he can win |
himself, he will do IT, II he finds that
he cannot win, he win do all things
possible 10 drag down the Republican
party to defeat with him. II is with
this situation that the Republicans
have to deal at this particular time,
and they are determined to meet the
issue fairly and squarely upon its
merits
They are sensible fully OF the SUI
preme Importance Of the approaching
election The earnestness OF their de-
sire to carry the state is
recognized and acknowledged every
whore But for the sinister position
assumed by Addicks, primarily for
himself and secondarily for the Demo-
cans, there is no one who would for
an instant doubt the ability Of the Re-
publicans to sweep the state He,
however practically makes this dec
laraton;
II demand a United States senator
ship and recognition as the leader OF
the Republican party OF Delaware. No
matter what have done in the past
to the detriment Of the party, make
this demand. I control enough votes
to throw the election one way or the
other, as best suits my pleasure Yor

it and paid for 1t, and it will do my be

mand the state will go Democratic"
To this threat the Republicans repl.
that it never has been, and never vii
be, the policy OF their party to rewar
a political freebooter with a Unite
States senatorship; that they refus
his demand absolutely; that they pos
lively decline to recognize him as a RI
