Naval Spectacle at New York.

The President will on Thursday re-
view the greatest fighting fleet that ever
rode American waters and the mightiest
fleet OF war craft ever massed under the
American flag. In efficiency, strength.
size and number the armada at anchor
in the Hudson river today justifies the
pride which Americans feel in their navy.
The fleet modified off New York SYM
hoizes the power of the people II repre-
sents Built and manned by Americans,
the great spectacle thrills the national
pride.
The American people take great In
terest and are year by year taking a
greater interest. in their navy. No longer
do they need ponderous arguments to i'm
press them with the worth of sea power.
A trading people with thousands OF miles
of coast against which oceans beat. with
international obligations and oversee
possessions. The American nation has
come 70 realize that a great navy is a
necessity a. guarantee and insurance
II full. peaceful national development.
.ssarly all Americans have a grateful
ceiling toward their navy. Its traditions
ere noble II has never been found
wanting in enterprise. valor and effect
iSenesS.
No nigsardly policy in money matters
should be shown in the treatment of the
navy. The people wish the power OF the
navy 10 be commensurate with the power
Of the republic and ample for the pres
ent and POSSIBLE needs of the nation.
4 glance at the armada in the Hudson,
with its balanced force of battleships,
srmored cruisers. cruisers, scouts. de-
stroyers. torpedo boats, submarines. sup
ply and repair ships, makes one compre-
hend that American naval advance has
been, Ii not sens tionally rapid. at least
steady and consistent. Ii does not seem
long way back to the days when the
white squadron-the Chicago, Boston and
Atlanta-was the pride of the people, and
by many it was believed to represent the
last word in naval architecture and
armament. There is a mighty difference
now.
Twentyfour battleships, aggregatng
3G6.Sta tons displacement, are in line
before New York. one-the Oregon-is off
Los Angeles with the Pacific fleet, six
battleships are In reserve or under repair
and four of the most powerful battle
ships OF the world are under construc-
ton or soon to go under construction.
The fleet at New, York is the greatest
American fleet ever modified, but it is
not the last word in American fleets.

The Defeat of Reciprocity.

And now we are told that reciprocity
was defeated In Canada by only some
thirty-five thousand votes in the popular
poll. This is surprising in the light of
the first impressions of the result. The
| reports were such as to give the idea that
the pact had been buried under an ava
| lanche of popular dsfavor: that the Cana
| dams had risen almost as one man and
recorded themselves against any freer
trade with the United States.
Still. there is a sort of trick in such
calculations. After the presidential con-
test of 1896 it was stated that change
of some twenty-five thousand votes, dis
tributed here and there in close states,
would have elected Mr. Bryan; that not
withstanding appearances. Mr.. Mckinley
had only squeezed in
Upon the comfort of that reading Mr..
Bryan entered with great confidence into
his second campaign. With the convic-
ton that he could hold all he had before
received, and add to it in the states which
in the first race had been close, he set out
to win in 1900 by that chart. But again
he was defeated Again Mr.. McKinley's
triumph, estimated by the figures ruling
both popularity and in the electoral col
lege. was so complete that all side ap-
praisements of what might have happened
If this, that or the other had been little
more closely watched by the democrats
carried small interest and no encourage
ment.
So now in the matter of reciprocity.
The prestige of the Canadian conserva-
tives as the result of what they have ac-
complished will last them for awhile. They
defeated the liberals by vote which was
most decisive on public opinion both at
home and abroad. The Laurier govern
ment was thrown out and a conservative
government is in power. That a change
of votes here and there might have
brought about something different is little
now to the point. new trial of conclu-
sions at an early date would probably
show small change in the general polling.
But reciprocity is not dead issue 1t
is merely sleeping. and will continue to
sleep for awhile. The tariff is a live ques-
ton with us. and may become one in the
British parliament any time. In all dis
cussions of ii Canada will be concerned;
and changes made here and elsewhere will
awaken her people to fresh examinations
bors and others.
The hope of better luck ext time is
based in part on the fact that next time
the fake issue of annexation cannot play
the part it recently played When again
| presented reciprocity will stand more
upon it's merits and be passed upon as
purely trade issue. Then it should sue
coed.

vestment in good administration, in EN-
cient organization and in the humane
treatment Of the workers who have spent
the greater part of their lives in loyal
discharge Of the states duties. There is
no reason to think that the common
wealth will have any occasion to regret
its experiment. and 1t is to be hoped that
before many of the state employees have
gone on the pension rolls the United
States will follow this example and. In
one form or another. provide for the hon.
orable and decent retirement of its vet
