A GREATER NAVY.

A CCORDING TO THE REPORT Of

Tartment Of the government this year
than ever before. This. nOtWithstand-
ing the fact that preliminary estimates
we're cut down more than si7. O0O, 600. 1t
was agreed. Secretary Morton says,
that this extra amount was badly need
ed but. in view of the other extraordi-
nary expenses. it was deemed advisable
to cut it out Of the appropriation to be
asked for
The Herald does not believe that very
many Americans seriously question the
programme that contemplates a great
navy for this country. Nearly every
body appreciates the necessity, now
that it seems settled that We are to hold
indefinitely the Philippines and our
other island possessions. for great
navy. It may be said that a big navy
is never as serious a menace 20 a repub-
lie as 4 great army. a large standing
army may be used at any time TO ter
rOrize The people. A navy has never
and can never, in the nature Of things,
be SO used.
Navies are expensive. There is no
end 10 the cost Of q battleship. Every
time one Of its screws revolves an ex-
Penditure Of money is necessary: every
time a gun is fred ut a target some Of
the money OF the people goes up in
smoke. But we would not have q bat
tleship whose screws never revolved or
whose guns were not fired often. Prac-
lice in guanery and evoluuons must
be had. even though the cost is great.
For. nobody knows when those guns
ere going to be badly needed. when the
speed Of the ships and their handling
viii be severely tried.
Ia the event OF a war with a foreign
country If is doubtful If any effort
would be made to land troops in this
country except q few. perhaps. by way
OF Canada, and from that point they
could not set very far. But certainly
on effort would be made to batter our
coast cities into ruins, and the effort
would be successful if We had no navy
with which TO defeat it,
Another reason why navy is desir-
able is Il sentimental one. From the
days OF John Pau Jones the American
ravy has responded to every call made
upon IT, We would not see it lacking

spect for US in other lands is a well set

ORNATE JOHN T. SMITH Of the
United States hospital corps has
been discharged from the army with
out honor. Private Smith married a
negress. The story runs that while
Smith was i'll in hospital the negress
nursed him. She was assiduous and I'M
falling in her attentions. Her hand
cooled his feyered brow. her voice COM
forted him. her nursing saved his life.
In this instance love was color blind
He fell in love with the woman and
married her. The case attracted a
great deal of attention The incident
or the Booker T. Washington luncheon
was cited to show that President Roose-
welt could not consistently discipline
Smith in any way. Nevertheless. when
General Fred d. Grant, commanding
the department of the cast. in which
Smith was located, recommended his
dismissal without honor, the president
concurred
Very few will be found to say the
president did net Act wisely. 1t is
claimed that the wife is Il woman of
bad character. whose previous mar
riage has not been terminated by the
Death of her husband or by any form
CT legal separation" This may be true
OF it may not be true Whether it is
true or. not Smith should have been
discharged. We do not believe there is
any great danger that this example set
by Smith viii be followed; it certainly
will not be followed now by any pri-
Yates who wish to remain IN the army.
But it hardly seems possible that the
desire on the part Of white soldiers TO
marry negresses- could prevail gener-
ally.
Nevertheless, it is as well to let the
men understand that such proceedings
viii no be permitted We know OF
nothing more calculated to lower the
standard of the army. There may be
colored women who are fully the equals
of amy white private. but such women
have sense enough 70 marry men Of
their own color None but degraded
white men want to marry negro wO-
men. and none but low negro women
want to marry white men. The same
thing is true. regarding the marriage Of
white men and negro women.
The president may not have set
good example when he lunched
with Booker Washington. great negro
though Washington is. but no sensible
person win criticise his action in the
Smith case.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.

The LAST SESSION of the Fifty
eighth congress was formally
tarted in Washington yesterday. No
cal business was transacted, but to-
ay, after the presidents message has
cen read, the grind Will begin. There
re many matters which will engage
ne attention of the national law
bakers, but the question which is up
ermost in the minds of most Of them,
well as of the country, is the ques-
ion Of tariff revision.
it is practically certain that some
fort TO revise the tariff will be made.

fssion which may be called as soon

Those who have talked with the pres

on TO bring about revision. He apprc-
iates the fact, and most of the Repu5-
can newspapers admit the fact, that
le party has occupied a stand pat
ttitude long enough. They say some
ping must be done to stop the clamor

orary suggests the appointment Of a
avision commission composed entirely

pointed out. should sat as long as
anybody wants TO talk before it.

General Hancock was laughed off the

THE TORPEDO AS A ...
PROMOTER or PEACE

The terrible destruction of tor
pedo and submarine mines has
been SO strongly brought out in the
war between Japan and Russia that
it must greatly affect future naval
construction. More torpedo boats
will be the rule in every navy, AM!
this will mean more torpedo boats de-
stroyers to cripple them or keep them
away from the cruisers and battleships
The destroyers are nothing but large
torpedo boats, more heavily armed
than the smaller craft and better
fitted for sea service.
The submarine type of torpedo boat
has never been used in actual war SO
far as known, though there have been
surmises that the Petropavlovsk may
have been sunk by such a hiden as
sailant The japanese have denied the
existence of any submarine in their
navy, though it appears they have sew
eral under construction. And it is re-
ported from ST. Petersburg that the
Russians are about to ship a subma-
by rail.
The American navy has number OF
submarine torpedo boats, one of which
is stationed at San Francisco and the
others are on the Atlantic coast Tri-
hls of these boats have been success
ful in all respects and indicate how
frightfully efficient they might be in
real fighting. A few Of these deadly
title monsters approaching an enc
mys fleet under water and remaining
submerged until their work has been
lone, might, in a short time, sink ev-
ery ship without showing themselves

bf great navies would be over. Thus
he submarine boat may become a 90
tent agent in the promotion of peace
between nations. and for the settle
nent of international difficulties by
arbitration instead of by the logic Of
liz guns and armor plate.

becomes the sooner the so callcd
