THE AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY.

1
Pueblo Chieftain.
The American navy now in
cludes twelve first class and one
second class battleships, and thir-
teen others are under construc-
ton. Of these battleships only
five were in commission at the
time of the war with Spain. In
addition, the navy now includes
twelve first class armored cruis-
ers with almost a battleship's
fighting power and more than a
battleship's speed, OF which only
two took part in the war with
Spain.
Thus in seven years the navy
has increased, (including the
vessels now building) from Seven
first class fighting ships to thirty
eight.
1t is clearly evidett that such a
rapid rate of increase is no longer
required by the national interests
and a policy of continued naval
construction al the present rate
would not be supported by the
people. While it is impossible to
make an exact comparasion of
the naval strength of nations, on
account of the differences, it is
the belief that the United States
navy is ROW at least on an equal
ity with that of Germany and
surpassed only by the navies of
Great Britain and France.
This is where the strength
of our navy ought to be main
tanned. Fortunately there is no
good reason why we should seek
to rival the huge proportions of
the British or French fleets, but
wisdom should suggest the ad-
vantage of being prepared to
meet any other power on equal
terms. If Germany or Japan
should greatly increase her naval
strength it might be wise for the
United States again to build
ships rapidly, but for the present
it is enough to maintain our pres
ent force at the highest possible
standard of efficiency.
In order to do this it will be
necessary to continue ship build
ing, for new ships must be pro-
vided to take the place of the
older ones as they become worn
out or as progress in modern
science makes them unfit compe-
tition with more modern ships.
At the rate of one new ship a
year it would require a quarter
of a century to replace our pre-
sent battleships and it is safe to
predict that in 1880 the vessels
of today will be regarded as
antique, if not absolutely useless.
The new ships should be Of the
highest possible type Of efficiency
and the limitations on their size
and cost should be determined by
the opinions of naval experts in
regard to the best possible type
of fighting machine, rather than
by the treasury watch dogs"
that may desire to acquire a re-
putation for economy.
The same policy Of highest pos
sible efficiency should prevail
throughout the navy department.
Thirty first class battieships and
half that number Of armored
cruisers may represent the naval
necessity Of the nation at the
present time, but no effort should
be spared to make and keep those
ships in the highest possible state

Important Decision.

An important decision regarding
guessing contes has ust~l,een sHena-
cred by the postoffce department..
Heretofore it has been the rule to toll
crate contests which appeared to call
for some skill or intellectual effort on
the part of guessers, as estimating the
popular vote for president, or the
number of feathers on chicken. The
slight difference between such contests
and pure lotteries, however, has led
to the exclusion of many of these
schemes. All correspondence relating
to such contests, as we'll as the papers
publishing advertisements concerning
them, will hereafter be barred from
the mails. AS this ruling has direct
bearing on advertising it will be we'll
for advertisers and publishers con-
templating guessing contest to sub
NIT the plan; to the postal authorities
before putting it. into execution.

Judge Searle has rendered his de-

Leonora N. McGregor to enforce pay
ment of taxes on land which had been
sold to John Goss on tax title. The
amount paid by Goss had suisse
quently been refunded and this action
was to compel payment by defendant,
Leonora n. McGregor, who made an
swer. The decision is as follows:
Facts: That the allegations contained
in the answer herein are substantially
true both in substance and in detail;
and as conclusions of law the court
finds that the objections to the taxes
for which judgment is prayed in this
proceeding be and the same hereby
are sustained. Let judgment be en-
tered accordingly.

The Engine a Hoodoo.


It is said that the engine on which
Engineer Robert Murray met his death
on April I, at Gushing, small siding
east of Staples, Mimi, has been long
considered a hoodoo by the railroad
men. In fact, not long ago, when it
was taken to the round house for
slight repairs it came out all painted
in deep black, significant as mark
of mourning for those who had gone
to death while running it.. It is
claimed that no less than twelve men
have met a fate similar to that which
Engineer Murray encountered on this
engine. It is numbered 22S, and it
was this that killed Engineer Mason
at Detroit, Engineer Scott at Dover
Lake, and several fremen have gone
down with her. The engine was out
on the Yellowstone division for a
time and it is said that five men lost
their lives on it out there. The engine
was at the shops at Brainerd after
the big wreck at Dover Lake, and
was the subject of much comment at
that time. It is reported that En-
gineer Murray once jumped from this
very engine in wreck at Elk River.

will Dig The bitches /.

Dick Chapman who has been doing
the engineering work on the proposed
bitches in Sherburne county went to
Elk River Tuesday to attend the meet
ing Gcounty commissioners, convened
for the purpose of hearing any objec-
tionsto the digging of the bitches or
the assessments on the land bene-
ftta.ss No objections were offered to
dfissosiss III the sff6ek
and Blue Hill, three in the town of
Blue Hill Or four, in the town of Bald
win. The latter is known locally as
the Murphy ditch. These bitches were
allowed and if no appeal is taken
within the twentyone days allowed by
law they will be dug. Another ditch
in the western part of Sherburne
county was objected to and the com
missioners adjourned the hearing un-
til Wednesday. Mr.. Chapman is in
terested in this work, as it will be
done largely under his supervision.

q light was also seen in the church on
Tuesday evening.
Two negroes were seen in that ter
ritory on Monday and Tuesday and
were at the depot at the time the girl
arrived. The negroes were last seen
in that territory about 4 O'Clock Tues
day afternoon. The girls pocketbook
was empty and couple of parcels
were found in the ditch near the rail-
road tracks, where she was walking,
but her watch was found on the body,
having slipped beneath.
The conclusion that there were two
men is borne out by the fact that she
was dragged Or carried some distance
from the track through thick growth
of underbrush and because she was a
large girl and very strong, weighing
about 100 pounds. The grief of the
girls parents is pathetic and all the
members of her family are deeply
affected. Excitement runs high in
Little Falls and violence would be ex-
pected if the murderers should be
found.
