NEEDS OE THE NAVY.
According to statements made In the
report of Admiral Crowntnshleld. chief of
the Ilureau of Navigation, we have only
Just b'cgmi to build a navy. For several
years the American people lave l>een
thinking they had pretty nearly as good
a navy as any of the Powers of Europe
They know of course that Great Britain
had a great many more ships, but they
were under the Impression that many of
them were out of date, and that the Ore
gon could easily cope with a whole fleet
of them ll seems, however, that they
were mistaken Admiral Crownlnshleld
says that our navy Is bar-ly sufficient for
an effective nucleus about which a larg
er establishment could be formed In case
of war. That certainly Is a rather alarm
ing condition of affairs. W,i have been
at work on the navy pretty steadily for
about ten years. The first vessels of the
new navy are now almost out of dale
I'nleas ■ build much faster than we
have been building we shall never have
what, in the opinion of Admiral Crow
nlnshleld, would lie an effective navy,
because the ships would get out of date
ao fast that the new ones would only' keep
the navy up to its present standard.
Not only Is there need for more chips,
but there Is a call for a very much great
er number of officers and men There Is
a largo number of vaeancles now. anal no
officers to All them Ar.d ll seems that
the Naval Academy la lacking in Instruc
tors
An academy Is not needed, however, lo
aecuro men for the navy. There are not
nearly enough In the service lo man the
ships already built, and the prospect of
getting a sufficient number does not seem
to be very promising Why this Is so
Is not clear. The pay Is fairly good and
there are chances for promotion It can
hardly be that the men are not treated
well. There Is no complaint, as far as
the public knows, of bad treatment, ye*,
there were nearly 2,nOU desertions during
the past year. There must be something
wrong or desertions would not be so
numerous and enlistments so few
It Is no doubt the purpose of the Am*r|.
can people lo have a navy that Is the
equal of that of any other country In the
i world, but they may not think It advisa
ble to build as big a navy as Admiral
Crownlnshleld end other navy officers
think le necessary.
A VIOOROIk CAMPAItiY.
A supreme effort Is lo be made to crush
the Philip pin* insurgents wtihtn the next
four month* The soldier* that are In
China will be turned over to Gen. Mae-
Arthur. and he will be Instructed. If he
hai not been already, lo push the fight

Arthur will have about TD.om men. which

i i
COMMIE* Hit hTATEhf
There arc several cases pending In the
I'nlted Stale* Supreme Court Involving
the question whether the territory ac
quired from Rpaln. as the result of the
Bpanlah-Amerlmti war. la to be governed
under or outside of the constitution, and
one of them Is to tie tried before that tri
bunal within a few days. What the decis
ion will be no one can of course predict
with any degree of certainty If It shall
be decided that this territory ran be gov
erned outside of the constitution the re
public will have colonies attached to It.
If It I* held that they roust be governed
under the constitution, then the question
will be whether the Philippine* shall be
prepared for statehood or for tndoiiend
ence.
It la well understood that there ta great
opposition to making the Philippines a
part of the I'nlted Slates. The Filipino*
ate not the sort of people wanted for
American cluxens. Beside*, there are
powerful interest* agatnet granting our
ntw possessions the privilege of (air mar
kets duty free.
It Is a question worth considering how
far the recent Republican victory will In
fluence the flupreme Court. Apparently
the American iicople huve decided In fa
vor of governing the Islands outside of
the constitution. It Is doubtful If th*
court will render a decision contrary to
that already rendered by the people. It
ran hardly help being profoundly Influenc
ed by the verdict of tjjc election. It would
seem, therefore, as If a decision holding
that th* bland* can lie governed outside
cf the constitution would be rendered.
If that should he the decision It will
no doubt strengthen the purpose of Phil
ippine insurgent* to resist as long as pos
sible They would far rather become a
part of the republic than to be governed
as colonies. They would be apt to be
lieve that they would be no better treated
by the United State* than they were by
Rpaln.
THI E LEADER OF THE PEOPLE.
The name of Henry G. Turner, of Quit
man. Is beginning to appear In the news
paper# of the state again with com
ments which must be highly gratifying
to him. The fact, doubtless. Is gradually
dawning on the Demi* rata of Georgia
that when they passed him by and made
themselves hoarse shouting for the ad
vocates of free silver they made a mis
take. Mr Turner, although he was one
of the really grew! men of the state and
was counted one of the very ablrat men
In Congress, accepted the>r verdict and
quietly retired from politics. He could
not accept the heresies which the party
so readily adopted with Fopullsm and 8 1-
ver Republicanism. He did not complain
when his fellow Democrats no longer re
garded him as one of their leaders, but
he must have felt that the time would
come when they would admit that he was
right.
That lime has come It Is doubtful If
there lea Democratic leader In the state
who now believes lhal the Democratic
parly will ever again make another dec
laration In favor of free ellver. A diy
or two ago Mr Bryan's leading organ tn
New York, and la fact. In the country,
the New York Journal, declared tn big
type, that free allver la a closed chap
ter. and that tn future ’fM w-oul 1 ha
the monetary standard of the country.
Mr. Turner could have retained his place
as a leader by accepting the various
lan* by which It was hoped to win party
success. He preferred, however, to stand
by the principle* which he believed to be
true Democratic principles. He would not
be a leader If he could not lead a'ong
lines which he thought to be right. And
be l* now having his reward by seeing
the people turning to him as a true
leader.
We do not know that Mr Turney ha*
any political aspirations. He hue given
ISO evidence that he has In recent years.
Rut If the |>eople should call him ll Is
probable that he would come forth from
hie retirement and do hla best to serve
them.
And where In the stale Is there a min
better qualified to serve them, either as
governor, or senator, or any other offl er
which they have authority to choeae? He
Is still In the prime of life The state
Is advancing rapidly and needs her best
men at the front. Indeed, the Democratic
national party needs the counsel of ,t
ablest memb*ta. Under the circumstances
Is would not be surprising If Mr. Turner
should again find himself In polltKa! har
ness.

In the outskirts of the town and on the
bank of a stream.
After a dinner of side meat and corn

prietor said.
"Stranger, is thar anything We us kin
do foh you-all?"
Thinking to confound the hast, the
stranger answered:
“Wal, yes. come to think of it, I'd like
to have a bath."
The proprietor let his feet drop from
the railing upon which he had hoisted
Hum. went Into the house, and returned
In a moment with a huge tin cup full of
soft soap, a rough towel and a pick and
shbvel. which h* offered to his guest
"What's the pick and shovel for?" ask

"Well, stranger,' answered th* land
lord. "th' w-atuh's low. and you-all 'll hev

—Prof J. Milne of England recently
read a paper before the British Associa
tion tn which he traced Ihe development
of selsmologldhl Investigations He stated
that there are now in different part* of
th* world twenty-six stations supplied
with sMhllar Instruments for th* study
of earthquake vibrations, and that by the
end of the present year there will be thir
ty. In England there are stations at
Hhlde, on the Isle of Wight; Kew, Bid
stone. and Edinburgh, each of which 1* lo
cated on a different geological formation
These stations manage to secufe records
of nearly all Ihe Important earthquakes
throughout the world. At Shide no less
than 130 have been recorded this year.
The distance of the origin from the sta
tion can be meaaured by the difference In
time between certain tremors that arrive
before the earthquake wave and the wave
Itself. This In the case of Jspan thir
teen seconds The velocity of the wave* |*
also measured, and tt Is found that while
It Is Immaterial tn what direction • they
travel across the continent, those that
pas* under the ocean have their ampli

thought to originate from deep troughs of
th# sea, one of which I* located near Ce

another Is thought to be near the C*ll
