The Naval Maneuvres.

Tine summer maneuvres by the fleet OIL
the New England shore II e not wholly
for the sake of giving officers and men
sea voyage for their health. and they
are more than mere playing at war
to relieve the monotonous routine OF
peaceful service. These maneuvres arc
game, to be sure, but it is grim
game the fleet is playing, a game that
ships, the men, the coal capacity and
the tactical skill Of the officers. Such
naneuvres Go more to gender fleets eff
fective than all other causes combined,
and Secretary Moody deserves high
praise for the thoroughneSs which has
marked their conception and execu-
ton. For a dozen years our fleets have
had similar practice, but, this year, the
maneuvers are on larger scale than
ever before.
If war We're to approach and invasion
be near, the first effort of an approach
ing fleet would be to establish a land
base by Selling an unprotected or
weakly defended harbOr on our coast,
full of SUCH The gathering of great
fleet and the ernbarkation of men on it
cannot be simulated. But it is posi- i
BILE, by sending out Commander Pills
bury into the dark of the Atlantic with
three vessels of about the speed of a
large mixed fleet, closely to simulate
the search for the approaching
enemy by home fleet under Admiral
Higginson. Commander PiIlsbury has
the entire coast of New England on
which to strike. His work, like that
of an approaching fleet, which, owing
to coal consumption, cannot remain at
sea Indefinitely, must be done within
a certainly time. His landing will be
successful or not, according to the time
before he is pounched upon. Time
again, the time during which a vessel
of superior strength keeps one of in
ferior strength within range, if over
taken, decides capture. Thus it is Il
very real and practical game which the
fleet is playing.

A "BiIlion Dollar" Congress.

Once before the Democrats raised
the campaign cry of billion-dollar
Congress as an argument against Re-
publican rule. TT is billion-doilar
country" retorted Thomas b. Reeo
who was speaker of the House at thar
time. and the Democratic cry OF Re
publican extravaganza fell very nat.
Now they are going to see if they can
AGAIN ,1se the charge of extravaganza
in the coming campaign, so they are
telling the country that it was
billion-dollar Congress which closed lts
first session, a few weeks ago. To be-
gin with, such a statement is false, Tor
to make the appropriations reach a
billion dollars it is necessary to add in
the 5000 DOC, 900 which it is estimated
that the isthmian canal may cost
when il is completed, half a score of
wears or a dozen years from now. Only
SO. 900, 900 was appropriated toward the
canal at this session. There must also
be added in the large sums for new
battleships and for improvements to
navy yards and to rivers and harbors.
These are not part of the annual
running expenses of the government
but are permanent improvements
which benefit the whole country
through years to come.
The large items for the maintenance
of government are 100000 for the
army. which is a large decrease from
the preceding year, and $4,000, 900 for
the navy. The pension appropriation
is the largest item, Sl40,O 900, and no
government ever did more good to a
greater number of people with an equal
sum of money. There may be pension
frauds, but they are insignificant in
the total sum, and the pension APP
preparation is the payment of a debt of
honor. Next to this appropriation is
that for the postoffice department,
$13S, 600 900, and most, if not all, of this
comes back during the year in the
ordinary postal revenue. Thus, when
it is analysed, the charge of billion
dollar appropriations melts into thin
air, and the argument that Congress
was extravagant will not hold water.
One Democratic paper recently de-
clared in the big headlines that the
pay of 700 government employees hal
been increased during the year. Upon
examination it seems that over 400 of
these who get more pay are West
Point cadets whom the government
will hereafter allow 500 yearly more
than formerly, and nearly all the rest
are in the regular line of departmental
promotions in Washington.
Republican administration of ma
tional affairs is not eXtravagant. Con-
siderng that this is a nation of SO,O0O,-
900 people enjoying the greatest pros
perity which any land ever expert
enced, the expenses of the national
government are not in any degree bur-
sistent with our greatness and our
growth. In the days of Democratic
hard times. between 1898 and 1897, it is
not recorded that the party in power
made any success of economizing. In
each of those years there was an ex-
cess of from 20 to 20 million dollars in
the national expenditures over the re-
ceipts. Last year the excess of ma
tional receipts over expenditures was
.362. That is the difference be
tween the Democratic and Republican
ways of handling national affairs.

The Republican Mass Meeting at Cit>

1t is rarely that a political meeting IN
this city has encountered more I'M
favorable weather conditions than pre-
vailed. last evening. The heavy shower
lust before the meeting not. only kept
away many of our home people who
had planned to hear Secretary Shaw
and Mr.. Emerson, but it also detained
a number OF people from surrounding
towns who had arranged to come in on
the electric roads Nevertheless, a good
number of people braved the storm,
some of them coming from Gardiner,
HalIowel and Winthrop to attend the
meeting. All were more than repaid
for coming. The speech of Mr.. Emer-
son was not long; but it was vigorous,
eloquent and full of strong, telling
points, that were well received by the
audience.
Secretary Shaw was warmly APP
plauded as he came forward to speak.
For more than an hour and half he
held the closest attention of his hearers
in one of the most logical and convinc-
ing arguments ever heard in this city.
His methods of speaking are unique
but they are wonderfully forceful and
captivating. He presents the case of
his party to his listeners as he would
present the case of a client to a jury.
There was throughout his clear, con-
yincing presentation of the great issues
before the American people flashes of
keen wit and humor, homely but strik-
ing SMILES. and political allegory. that
while they served as a spice to the more
serious portions of his argument,
enforce them by their aptncss of appli-
cation. They had the force of illustra-
ton. and carried into the discussion
the warm qualities of human interest.
Secretary Shaw is not only a clear
thinker, but ne is pre-eminently one of
the ablest campaign speakers in the
direct and homespun qualities that
made Abraham Lincoln strong with
the American masses. Like Lincoln he
has at his command an inexhaustible
fund of anecdote. and like him he APP
peals to reason and not to prejudice
