and we shall maintain it. We have no interest except that
the war may end speedily; we have no concern except that
1t may not bring into the struggle any of the other nations
which are now content. Under no circumstances that l
can conceive Is there danger to the peace of our own coun-
try.
Our new navy, which constitutes all Of the effective
navy Of to-day, was begun during the administration of
President Arthur and under the direction Of his two sec
retaries of the navy, Hunt and Chandler. 1t was continued
during the two administrations Of President Cleveland I'M
der the direction of Secretaries Whitney and Herbert The
lamented Whitney once said:
This country can afford to have, and it cannot afford
TO lack, a naval force at least so formidable that its deal
ings with foreign powers will not be Influenced at any time
nor even be suspected of being influenced by a conscious
ness of weakness ON the sea-" And again: ut is Of little
service to a nation to have any navy at all unless 1t is a
fair expression Of the highest scientific resources Of its
day"

power upon the sea will be maintained, no matter which
party may be in control Of the national administration.

to be present at Fanueil Hall. The

made by eminent citizens on subjects

themselves to exercise their right of

A high price often upsets a good
theory. The present prices of cotton
will have more influence in turning
Southern farmers away from the pol
Icy of diversifying their crops than the
arguments Of a decade have had in the
other direction. The Department Of
Agriculture will endeavor to overcome
this natural tendency, and accordingly
purposes to maintain in the South some
model farms, the aim of which will be
to show that the miscellaneous small
crops may still be made more profit
able than corn and cotton.

as being "a pack Of lies too gross for
liberation" He declares that inspira-
ton Is not allowed to certify to the
truth of any statement In the Bible
(which cannot be substantiated at the
bar of reason and evidence" In the
New Testament he finds little to offend
reason or conscience, "but, whether
much or little, 1t will have to 60 the
way Of the Old Testament prodigies."
In an analysis Of the present social
condition, Canon Henson attributes the
spread Of anarchy, the ulcer that is
eating the vitals Of society" to the
disappearance over large areas of civil
lied life of the religious basis Of mo-
rality." Yet he finds ar excuse for
these "nonmoral m%ultitudes" who
from the cradle to the grave have
faced the severe pressure Of competi-
ton, the squalor and poverty and the
miserable ~exigencies Of unmerited
want" and who Inevitably compare
their condition with the ostentation Of
unearned wealth, the %profusion and
unchecked luxury and the insolence Of
unchastened power"
The canon says that when 1t is re-
membered that these "cruel, shocking
contrasts are no longer regarded with
the dull stare Of fatalistic ignorance,
but in the full light of those doctrines
of equality which r the common
places Of democratic politics." It is no
