Making War Impracticabie.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
1t is often said that great naval arma-
ments are menace to the peace of the
world. Many naval officers have reach
ed the conclusion on the contrary, that
the present development is making war
mpracticable, since the great battle
ships so rapidly grow imperative when
removed from base.of supplies. The
opinion has been expressed that the
American fleet would be match for a
European fleet of three times its force
on this side of the Atlantic, and con
versely, that one.third of its nominal
force would be effective against the
American fleet in an attact upon any
European coast. Under these condi-
tious a naval power would be slow to
enter upon war with another even its
inferior, when it had to 90 far from
home to attack.

Editor Gonzales Dead.

Editor Gonzales whom was shot last
Thursday by Lieut.-Gov. Tillman, of
South Carolina died on Monday. By
that dastardly attact Tillman stated to
the world that he was even worse than
the editor, had ever painted him, and
deserves punishment to the full exent
of the law. His act was premeditated
and the verdict cannot be otherwise
than murder in the first degree. This
cowardly act will no doubt end Till
manism in South Carolina.
