The lnvincib!e Fleet.

Nothing could be better timed than the assem-
blage of the American Fleet at New York at this
time Its presence is not needed to stir the
Amerieansm in the conglomcrate population Of
the Metropolis. There is no more American COL
lection of the people in the country than those Of
Manhattan and its envrons. But the presence Of
the fleet at this time will cause the patriotic SEN
timents of the New Workers to center about this
magnificent dsnlay of the naval power of the
country. It is the greatest imperative pacific DEM
oustration that the world has ever seen.
The presence of the invincblc feet is timely
also in its intimaton to Europc For while with
out such design. it is fact that the feet assem-
bled at New York suggests the power Of the
United States and its preparedness to assert its
prerogatives against all corners Secretary Dam
iels and Admiral Dewey have swept away the
detraetions against the feet. In its personnel in

Of weight and gum in all the facts Of its prerared-
ness: it is an asset OF which the United States
can be unfeignedly nroud. All it lacks is more of
the same kind OF ships, with some Strengthening
Of the cruiser division. The feet will then out
match anything upon the seas. And this develop
ment OF the great navy Of the country is rapidly
being forged ahead. Let all detractors stand aside
