LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
REVISION WITHOUT REVISION

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: I am awars that a great newspaper has
little time and less inclination to carry dis
cussion with correspondents. but must say a
word or two TN regard TO your to-days editorial
reply to my communication I will be brief.
You failed 10 point out where ing the Republican
platform there promised changes in our tariff
system. and in what part Of II IS the declaration
for "a readjustnlent Of tariff rates; now you say
''the Republican platform Of 1908 certainly promised
Il readtustnent Of tariff rates. I cannot md this
promise in the platform. nor can ind in it any
thing from which fairly to draw the fnferenCes
tanned in your to-day's remarks.
The Republican party in its platform promised "a
review Of the tariff" and laid down therein the
Republican faith the tariff question II did not
promise any changes II our tariff system nor
any ..readjustnent Of tariff rates: It promised
revision. and the Republican Congress upon which
that duty rests viii revise and review the existing
law and II IL can be bettsred not for one OF an
the American people as a whole. II should be
changed and not otherwise
I am sorry that the great New-Tork tribune feels
called on TO quote from The Philadelphia Press
to sustain its contentious fu discussing Republican
doctrine; time once when The Tribune was
looked Up 10 exarplar Have the mighty
fallen? RICHARD CAMPION.
Philadelphia. April %. 1902
four correspondent seems to think that the
Republican party promised TO revise the
tariff. but did not promise TO make changes In
our tariff system 70 'resdiust tariff rates
What does revise" mean9 According TO the.
dictionaries it means to look over for the pur-
pose Of suggesting o. making amendments. ad-
ditions or changes. to change or correct any
thing for the better, TO alter, TO reform. We do
do not see how there could be a revision which
did not make changes in existing tariff law
and did not readjust tariff schedules.-EdI

An HEIR IN HOLLAND.

The people Of this country will feel synpa-
thetic interest in the pleasurable excitement
which pervades Holland. now, after repeated
dsappointments, giving free rein to rejoicings
over the birth of an heir TO the throne The
House of Orange was apparently threatened with
extinction, for Queen Wilhelmina was It's sole
surviving representative Holland had therefore
TO face the unpleasant possibility of having TO
name q foreign prince to follow her, thus intro
ducing alien influences and increasing the dread,
already acute in the Netherlands, Of eventual
absorption by a powerful Deighbor.
The people of the Netherlands think that they
have good reason TO fear aggression on the part
of Germany, since German ambitions are turn
ing more and more seaward and possession of
Holland would greatly extend the coast line and
Increase the maritime resources Of the German
Empire. Any interruption in the royal line
would be a serious political peril, and Dutchnen
have gloomIly weighed the prospect of Wilhel-
minas remaining chldless. The coming of an
heir fills the nation with renewed hope and
cheer, since it at least pOstpones the evil day
when fntS must be written to the history OF
the native dynasty. National pride is kindled
and national enthusiasm is aroused by the feel
ing that Holland is still 10 be ruled by a royal
house of It's own blood faith, speech and ira

place IN the line He comedies that at present
Engiand's strength is about three times that or
Germany but he is worried over the change
which must occur by or before 1912 The ratio
will then be- in his opinion. five TO four Nhen
Austria's new Dreadnoughts are completed. Aus
tria and Germany together, according TO his es-
innate, will have a distinct superiority over
England. Since the two continental powers have
an offensive and defensive alliance he feels that
British interests are seriously menaCed.
In making his comparison for 1912 Mr.. Wilson
adopts guns of the largest calibre (12 and il
inches) q method prescribed by the modern
theory that fighting will be begun at such long
range hereafter that a battle will probably be
decided by these weapons As some battleships
mount ten or twelve big guns and others only
four, a comparison of the number of vessels,
regardless Of armament, might prove mlsIead-
ing. Hence Mr. Wilson does not paruculari2e
regarding the older batt1eships, but evidently
thinks that about eighteen of them would be
available in addition to the sixteen Dread
noughts now fairly well assured. He puts the
total number Of big guns available in 1872 for
England at pa, for Germany at 100 or 1856 and
for Austria at 60. The allies together would.
according TO this estimate, have a small but
clear majority. IF England lays the keels OF
eight Dreadnoughts instead Of only four, TINS
year. the score would probably stand about 2S4
to $50 or 256, provided, of course. that Austria
does not, as is now predicted. build more Dread
noughts than Mr.. Wilson had reason to reckon
on when he discussed the subject. IF she should,
England would need to adopt still more liberal
programme IN order to maintain q strength 10
per cent in excess Of that of any other two
powers combined

cANApA,s NEW PRIMATE.
From The Rochester Post-ExpresS.

The new Primate of All Canada. the Most Rev.
Samuel Pritchard Matheson, was born at Kildonan,
in the Red River country, in 1852 and educated
in the schools and colleges Of Winnipeg. He was
ordained TO priesthood in 1876 and his first charge
was in faraway Victoria He created Canon
OF winnipeg Cathedral in 1ss2 He chosen
honorary clerical secretary of the conference
winnipeg in august; 1890 for the union and conso-
America and was elected clerical secretary of the
SYNOD OF Rupert's Land in 1895, In 1909 he was
made ProIocutor OF the General Synod OF Canada
and Archbishop Of Ruperts Land. The election OF
Archbishop Matheson Is regarded testimonial
to the high regard In which he is held in Canada
for never before IN the history Of the Anglican
Church in the Dominion has Western archbishop

TRUE MEASURE OF NAVAL POWER


The discussion of the relative strength Of the
English and German navies, which was con-
Quoted with notable animation few weeks ago
In tie British Parliament, IS still being carried
on in the English press. Mr.. Churchill, presi
dent Of the Board Of Trade. recently addressed
q letter to his constituents deprecating the
popular distrust of Germany's motives and de
ploring the policy of building only Dreadnoughts
in the future. He believes that England's older
-Eattleships are likely to prove useful in any
emergency that may soon arise. His opinions
are now sharply criticised in the columns OF
"The London Daily Mail" by Mr.. H. ". Wilson,
editor Of 'SFhe Navy League Journal" the aJ-
thor of several books on naval matters and
high authority on the subjects concerning which
he writes
Mr. Wilson holds that ar least fifteen of Eng
lands older battleships are much slower than
Germany's DreadnOughts, and are so poorly er-
mored that single shot might send any one Of
them to the bottom The guns Of these vessels,
too, are said TO be weak and OF an antiquated
pattern. Mr.. Wilson is confident that three
years hence these vessels will no longer have
