Fleet Shot Monster Whale

During It's target practice in Mag

emily hit an immense whale The
wounded monster made it's way this
far us the coast and was tossed ashore

feet in length, and has two holes
through the middle of its back, which
undoubtedly were made by cannon

CURRENT COMMENT

tcrs OF General Interest.
MONTGOMERY Advertiser

Montgomery Advertiser:
We are firm in our belief that the
liquor question, like religion, should be
entirely disassociated from politics.
There is no propriety or justification
in attaching IL TO politics. There is no
sensible reason why the Democratic or
Republican party should make II part
of faith or their platform and require
the voters of the party TO vote on IL.
The question of allowing or prohibiting
the sale of liquors. or of licensing
such business is one which should
have no connection with politics
When voters so to the polls to vote on
the question OF allowing or disallowing
the sale of liquor they should have no
other question To confuse or influence
them. Then they could be expected
TO give voice to their real sentiments
without any extraneous Issues.

mittee on Agriculture. and the other
on February 81 before the House

have convinced anybody open To con

UNITED ENLISTED MEN
= y

It will be seen from the accompany
ing diagram that Great Britain con-
tinues to hold her commanding lead
among the naval powers, with a. total
tonnage of 1888, 116, which is two and
two-thirds as much as that of the sec
ond power, which is the United States,
with GIL, 616 tons. France comes third
with COG, 079 tons, Germany fourth with
529, 032 tons, and Japan fifth with 374.
701 tons. If all the vessels at present
building were completed, France and
the United States would change places,
the positions of the other powers re-
naming the same. Great Britain
would have 1.S21,61O tons, France $780,
112 tons, the United States III, 1853 tons.
Germany $780, 02 tons and Japan 451, 320
tons.
Some ingenious and more or less re-
liable estimates of naval strength have
been made, in which the ships are es-
timated according to q system of
points, so much for guns. SO much for
armor, so much for speed, with a cer-
tain percentage of reduction for age;
and, undoubtedly, this is the true way
to institute the comparison. But even
here the result is not conclusive; the
reason that it takes no account what
ever of what is, after all. the most i'm
portant point of all, namely, the per-
sonnet. 1t is not so much the gun as
the man behind the gun that deter
mines the issue. 1t is not so much the

Labor Disputes In England.

Labor seems to have won victory u
England whether the discontinued rail-
way men win or lose in the final settle
ment of their dispute. The men put up
a proposition to their employers. and
the employers refused to recognize the
employees society at all. They would
treat with individuals only. In the
past the British labor union has been
described as the very embodiment of
narrowness and even cruelty. Now.
although the railway men had voted
to strike, they listened to third voice
and agreed with the president of the
British board of trade to reconsider
and talk over their grievances with the
railway management.
For some reason the railways also
backed down from their naughty posi-
ton that the society of employees
would not be recognized. They agreed
to listen to the grievances and IN that
acted wisely 1t is believed that if the
railways or the men had refused to
get together parliament would have
passed Il compulsory arbitration law,
limited perhaps to railways. Fear of
public opinion is thought to have in
fluenced both sides to recede from their
decisions. the labor men to strike and
the railways to stand pat. But to the
labor union belongs the credit of being
policy or good nature on their part,
time will stamp it as common sense.
