The United States should not
permit Russian contracts to tie
up Irving, Mr. Scott and the
Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco. It would be better far to
contract for five more such bat
tleships as the Oregon than to
allow five such to be built for
Russia. In years to come v. e do
not want to contend with Amer
ican talent on the high seas.—
St. Louis Republic.
If the Merrimac was bought
by the government for three
times its value after it had been
rejected by the Naval Board of
Inspection, it is not unreasona
able to suppose that other vex
seis recently added to the navy
brought to their owners similar
profit. Congress will have a
great deal of work to do when
peace is restored.
SPAIN’S FINANCES.
Financially Spain is in the
last ditch. It is definitely an
nounced that she cannot negoti
ate any foreign loan, and conse
quently must depend upon home
resources.
The minister of France ha*
arranged with the bank of Spain
for more advances, to be guar
anteed by the recent issue of
perpetual 4 per cent bonds. 'To
meet this demand the bank will
have to draw heavily upon its
gold and silver reserve, and in
accordance with a recent action
of the Cortes will no longer pre
serve the former proportion be
tween its cash and its note of is ;
sue. Spain is whipping herself !
faster than Sampson, Dewey. I
Aguinaldo and Garcia can do
the work.
