Ii no new states are admitted in the
meantime, it will require $50 electoral
votes to elect the president and vice
president in 1904, as against 224 in the
last election. 1t will be seen by the
above table that the republican states
get the best of the increase. New York
and Illinois, which gain three each, are
IN the republican column; 80, also, are
Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvan.
ia, which gain two each. California,
Connecticut, Massachusetts,, North Da-
kota, Washington, West Virginia and
Wisconsin, which gain one each, voted
for Mckinley and Roosevelt last year.
The gains of the states that went for
Bryan are: Colorado, /; Florida, /;
Louisiana, I; Mississippi, I; Missouri, / !;
North Carolina, I; Texas, 8; total g..
Thus it will be seen the republican states
gain 30 to a gain of 8 for the democra-
tic states.
The above table will be handy fo-
sreferance to politicians who wish to fig
nre on future results. The gain in re-
representatives. will become operative in
the elections of 1902, and ought to in
crease the chances OF the republicans
for maintaining their majority in the
lower house.

rial interests, but standing monu,
ments to it's constructive ability.
am glad to be able to announce
to you that our negotiations on this
subject with Great Britain, conducted
on both sides with a spirit of friend
illness and mutual good will and re
speot, have resulted in my being able
to lay before the Senate a treaty
which if ratified will enable US to
begin preparations for an Isthmian
canal at any time, and which guar
antees to this nation every right that
it has ever asked in connection with
the canal.
FOR A LARGE, EFFICIENT NAVY.
The work of upbuilding the navy
must be steadily continued. No one
point of our policy, foreign or do
mestic, is more important than this
to the honor and material welfare,
and above all to the peace, of our
nation in the future. Whether we
desire it not, we must henceforth
recognize that we have international
duties no less than international
rights. Even if our flag we're hauled
down in the Philippines and Porto
Rico, even if we decided not to build
the Isthmian Canal, we should need
a thoroughly trained navy of ade
quate size, or else be prepared def
nitely and for all time to abandon
the idea that our nation is among
those whose sons go down to the sea
in ships. Unless our commerce is
always to be carried in foreign bot
toms, we must have war craft to
protect it.
NO INCREASE OF ARMY NEEDED.
It is not necessary to increase our
army beyond it's present size at this
time. But it is necessary to keep it
at the highest point of efficiency.
The individual units who Is officers
and enlisted men compose this army,
are, we have good reason to believe,
at least as efficient as those of any
other army in the entire world. It
is our duty to see that their training
is of a kind to insure the highest
possible expression of power to these
units when acting in combination.
MERIT SYSTEM OF APPOINTMENTS.
The merit system of making ap-
pointments is in it's essence as demo-
cratic and American as the common
school system itself. 1t simply means
that in clerical and other positions
where the duties are entirely non
political, all applicants should have
a fair field and no favor, each stand
ing on his merits as he is able to
show them by practical test. Writ
ten competitive examinations offer
the only available means in many
cases for applying this SYSTEM. In
other cases as where laborers are
employed, a system of registration
undoubtedly can be widely extended.
There are, of course, places where
the written competitive examination
cannot be applied, and others where
it offers by no means an ideal solu-
ton, but where under existing pO
litical conditions it is, though an
imperfect means, yet the best pres
emit means of getting satisfactory re-
suits.

No single great material work
which remains to be undertaken on
this continent is of such consequence
to the American people as the build
ing of a canal across the Isthmus
connecting North and South Amer
lea. It's Importance. to the nation is
by no means limited merely to it's
material effects upon our business
prosperity; and yet with view to
these effects alone it would be to the
last degree important for US immedi-
ately to begin it. While it's beneficial
effects would perhaps be most marked
upon the Pacific Coast and the Gulf
and South Atlantic States, it would
also greatly benefit other sections.
1t is emphatically a work which it is
for the interest of the entire country

Moro Sailing Ships Than Steamers Be-

It is frequently said and written that
the steamship has driven the sailing
vessel off the sea, a statement so far
devoid Of truth that nearly half the
worlds freights are carried in sailing
vessels and a full half of the tonnage
of ships built the last year is to be
propelled by the wind. This may seem
a surprising fact, but it is only neces-
sary to turn up Loyds' list to prove it.
That it is not more generally recog-
n1zed is largely due to the fact that
personal interests are wider with ref
erence to passenger vessels and the
carrying Of mails. The larger fleet of
sailing vessels is made up of small
