| Cumberland went down before the
ironclad. Now the future OF naval
warfare lay with the armored turret
ship. The short but brilliant career OF
| the Merrimac showed what the govern
ment might have done had it chose to
| adopt ironclads at the beginning OF the
| war. There were then five sister SHIPS
of the Merrimac afioat in excellent con-
dition, and the navy yards could have
given them armOr superior to that on
| the Merrimac in the course OF couple
| of months.
The victory of the Monitor was fol
lowed by the construction as rapidly as
possible of 60 ironclad vessels, all OF
the Monitor type excepting three. The
Conftderates, being without navy
yards, were compelled to 1mproVlse
ironclads from G, 70 materials, but
they succeeded in -. ting ahOat several
terrible engines of destruc IN for the
wooden ships of the enemy. The ram
Albemarle in the east, the Arkansas IN
the Mississippi and the Tennessee in
to the strongest wooden fleets. A fleet
of steam rams was fitted out on the
Mississippi by the government, and
the brave Ellets made such good use
of this powerful weapon that the new
type of warship then evolving must
necessarily be provided with a ram
ming beak
The Confederates forced the ironclad
ISSUE for the growth would have been
slow but for the alarm created by the
Merrimac. Then came the armOred
cruiser, for, although no armored ship
put to sea during the war the deSper-
ate deeds of the wooden commerce de-
strOyers sent out by the Confederates
taught the world that armored cruis-
ers, built for speed and fighting, would
be Indispensable to a nation ambitious
to maintain sea power. Two or three
up to date warships with the audacity
of the Confederate Alabama, Florida
and Shenandoah could, if unchecked,
drive from the ocean the commercial
flag of any nation they chose to attack.
When Gushing blew up the ram AL
bemarle, he established the torpedo
and the torpedo boat in naval warfare.
The torpedo was not new, and the tor
pedo boat had been used by the Con-
federates with success before Gushing
electrified the world with his daring
feat, but it takes a shock like the tri-
umph Of the pygmy Monitor or Cush-
ing's reckless dash in picket launch
to stir the sluggish blood of the aver
age naval board.
At the dawn of the twentieth centu-
ry the ideal warship is one protected
around her vitals, capable of high
speed, armed with long range and rap
id fire guns and manned with brainy,
fearless men. The new Kearsarge bat
tleship is the type today and the old
Kearsarge the type of 100 years ago,
with the addition of steam for motor
power.
One victory at sea may decide war,
and the fate of one ship may decide
a sea battle. No power can become
great without seaports, and these con-
stitute elements of weakness unless
protected by navy. Finally it comes
to test of the men behind the guns

truth that moral considerations must be
takeninto account in the affairs OF nations
as well as individuals. The personal IN
fIuence Of the Queen in public matters has
been a large one and she has generally
exerted it for peace and brotherly kind
ness between nations.
AT Grace Methodist church, Rev. Geo.
w. Hunt took for the subject OF his
morning sermon Victoria, the Noble
Queen" preaching from the text, MANY
daughters have done virtuously, but thou
excellest them ALL" The speaker said in
part: 1t is fitting that in this our land
in Gods house we should stop in the
midst of busy life and drop one tribute
of respect to the memory of one who has
been recognized as the greatest among
women in the 10Th century. In her
high estate she bore about her the SOFT
ness, mildness, and charm of lovely
womanlv nature, inspiring the Christian
world with the noblest sentiments OF re-
ligion. She gladly followed the order OF
Providence. Surrounded by lustre that
was bright with holy radiance, her
society promoted true virtue. Her sym
patty often proved an antidote to the
ills of life and a sweet solace to many a
poor soul smitten under the depressing
influence of disappointed hope. She so
vet humanely sustained her
rank in society that her lie has been not
only blessing TO her own, but to the
whole. world, and no tongue will ever
1are to defame her, and no sacrellglous
1aud ever dare to attempt to destroy the
1reciousness OF her memory. Her name
will ever stand secure within the panoply
If her virtues, and from her tomb will

just organized one also, in speaking
of which the Benson Times makes
the following suggestive remarks:-

little relaxation after supper, and to
see and chat with his friends awhile.
He can indulge in a friendly game of
chess or-eards and enjoy himself with
the knowledge that at its close, even
though beaten, he will have no drinks
to pay for and can. go home clear

to take strangers and let them meet

of time will be found to be valuable

Interview With Senator Jones.

with Senator E. J. Jones on the sub,
iect of the great railroad merger. II
is important that Senator Jones
should take the position he does, both
on account of his influential position
in the senate, and also on account OF
being among the heavy shippers OF
this part of the state.
Following in Senator Jones state
ment:--.a.I believe the consolidation
should be prevented at all hazards.
I do not pretend to be a lawyer, and
know nothing about the legal points
involved, but every business man and
shipper in the northwest is interested
in preventing a contamination Of the
deal. We cannot till what viii hap
pen to the shippers if it is not stop
ped. The power of the combination
over the business interests of the
northwest would be limitless. 1t
could make and unmake business men

. WHEAT M 4RKET QUIET.
Prices are Thought to Have Reached
a Normal,


The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co,
Grain Commission Broker, 8 Chamber
of Commerce, Minneapolis, 80 Board
of Trade, Duluth.
Dec. l9-The wheat market the
past week has been queit and dull,
moving within narrow limits. Two in
f1uences combined to paralyse the
trade; the first is the near approach
/ of the holiday season when most
traders desire to even up and make
no fresh commitments; the second is
the car shortage which is at present as
bad as ever and is aggravated by the
extreme cold weather. There are
several uncertainties in the situation.
One is ais to the actual conditions of
the growing crop of winter wheat.
Some reports are that it is seriously
damaged by over-grazing, drouth and
freezing. Other reports are directly
contrary to this. Another uncertainty
that, like the poor, is always with as
is as to the extent of this years crop.
The Government report issued this
week is expected to reduce former es-
Inmates. There is also an uncertainty
as to conditions in Argentina. Esti-
mates of the exportGble surplus for
the ensuing yer vary from 19 to 40
million bu. The visible supply for
last week increased 4 ,1l5OOO bu.; the
amount on ocean passage decreased
10000 bu.; Liverpool stocks de-
creas d $1,000 bu.; the worlds visible
increased nearly 2 million bu. There
is decided falling off in both re-
ceipts and exports. For 4 days this |
week receipts are 1894, 900 bu.- COM
pared with 81 million bu. for the
same days last year. Clearances for
the same days this week are Il million |
bu. Receipts OF corn for 4 days this
week are 1,555,ooo bu., about ] of the
receipts for the same period last year.
Exports of corn and oats are trifing.
Flax advanced to $1.491 last week
and the advance has continued this
week, Minneapolis. May fax being |
now quoted at $l.53. Receipts are
very much smaller than heretofore
being no more than sufficient to sup
ply crushers. It is believed that the
price of wheat is now adjusted to act
ual conditions, and the price changes
will depend on demand and supply.
Business will be dull until after the |
holidays. Closes for today: Chic
