It Is more than probable that no future Congress will appropriate less than a billion dollars. The movement la rapidly towards the billion and a half mark. 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of course that Great Britain had a great many more ships, but they were under the Impression that many of them were out of date, and that the Ore gon could easily cope with a whole fleet of them ll seems, however, that they were mistaken Admiral Crownlnshleld says that our navy Is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never have what, in the opinion of Admiral Crow nlnshleld, would lie an effective navy, because the ships would get out of date ao fast that the new ones would only' keep the navy up to its present standard.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 ing from now until Ihe end of the dry season. It Is believed In Washington tha; In that time th* insurgent* can be thor oughly discouraged am) beaten With the troops In China Gen. Mac- Arthur will have about TD.om men. which Is a very small number lo cover so large a territory. Ilr will be Instructed to car ry on a campaign something like tha* which was conducted by the late Gen Lawton. The troops will sweep from vil lage to village acattermg Ihe Insurgent force* wherever they can be found. The trouble I* to find Ahem anywhere. They are all friendly when Ihe American troops are around and enemies when they sr* absent. The rare feeling, as Gen. MacArthur points out. Is strong No I doubt a very large majority of the people of ihe Island* would accept American rule t( they were not harassed b> thoa* unfriendly *o the American cause Prominent foreigners, long resident in Manila, hold (he opinion lhat <ve have been too lenient with the Insurgents—that If we had dealt with them os harshly as Ihe Spanish were accustomed lo deal with them when pus ting down Insurrections, the war would have been over by this time. The government has thought it belter to pursue a policy ot mercy—lo con vince the Filipino*. If |>ihlc. that ll Is our purpose lo treat them Justly nnd kind ly. and to govern them In a way that will be best for their Interest* from every point of view.

That brine the case lie ought to be given a chance to bring war to a close and thus have the glory of It. 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.

The New Orleans States (Dem ) says: "The consensu* of opinion Is that the next Democratic nominee for President will come either from New York or one of the New England states, and that he will he a man whose sound money record Is clear and who supported his party's ticket In the campaign of ISOn. Th s places former Secretary of State Richard Olney, ex-Hen.ilor David R. Hill. Hon. E. F. Shepurd and other distinguished gold Democrats on the list of presidential pos rtbtllties. It IS quite probable, however, that If some strong man come* to the front and carries the state of New York by a large majority In the gubernatorial election to be held two years from now. he will gel the nomination Cor the presi dency." The Louisville Courter-Journal (Dem ) •ays. "Now that the election Is over we begin to hear the truth About the Philip pines Gen MacArthur now says that the way the Filipinos stick together |g on .ut of .:h logical homogeneity.' which Induces them to stick lo 'consan guineous leadership.' We knew this all the time, hut If we had mentioned It before the election It would have been denounced as a campaign He." The Montgomery Advertlaer (Dem.) says "The New York Journal heads a two-column editor.nl, 'The New Democ racy.' God forhld! We have had a sur plus of that kind of Democracy during the last four years, and we hope to hear no more of It.
