In these several reports, with others that preceded them, the facts showing the defenseless condition of our sea coast and Ly froutier are fully set forth, and they would secm to carry ull the argument that is necessary to enforee upon congress the importance of this matter. It is impossinle to forego the conviction, in reading the concurrent statements and opinions of men who foremost in their profesision, that the country is not entirely sccure while its numerous gateways, close behind which are accumulations of wealth amounting to thonusands of mllions of doliars in their present unprotected condition Except as to a few ports we are easily vulnerable along the whole vast stretch of our sea and lake coasts, and most so where the possibility of injury is greatest Confident in the sccurity of our isola and in the wise policy of minding our own business, with a strong fuith in our ability to meet the demands of any ex- igency, we have left the entrances to the citadel practically unguarded. In- tending no disruption of friendly rela tions with suny other nation, we have apprehended none from any. This s undoubtedly the prevalent teeling now Probably the great majority of intelli gent people would regard with entirve in- difference an asertion of possible dan- ger. There is not a threatening spot on the horizon to warrant apprehiension. I'he president has but just assured us that our relations with all other powers ure most friendly, and there is no dilference or controversy o scrions as to justify a doubt of the continuance of this ify ing international situation. Danger, however, cannot alv foreseen. Nations, like individuals, may be plunged into unexpected difliculti which foree upen them a defense by other means than argument and diplomac To be prepared is move than half the bat- tle. Better still, adequate pr tion may of itself avert trouble. The man whois known to be well armed is more secure agwnst assault, even from the most desperate, than he who is unarmed, though he be a giant, The United States is a giant among the nations in popula- tion, weaith and resourees, but it is a fact that there are states, which as to all these conditions are pigmies by comparison, that were they disposed might make this great comntry cry for quarter. We submit that this is at once an insecure and a humuliating posi- tion, which cannot be justi- fied on any sound and rational ground. The nation is abundautly able to provide ample means for its protection and defense, and while to do this would be to comply with an imperative duty, it would serve also to greatly bonefit the in- terests ot labor and of numerous indus tri 1f our harbor defenses were u dertuken on n scale such as the facts show to be necessary, the government would give employment for the next ten years to thousands of laborers, among whom would be distributed tens of millions of dollars. If we are to con tinue wringing money from the people by the present policy of taxation, in' excess of the nctual requirements of the government, certainly the revenues thus exacted could not be more wisely or use- fully expended than in improving the means of defense where the nation is most vulnerable to danger. We are not sunguine that the promise of this being done by the present con- gress is more hopeful than it has been for the last dozen years or more, during which the matter has been presented at cvery session. The outlook for some- thing being done at the las sion seemed for a time exceedingly favorable, but seetional prejudice again asserted itself, as 1t had done many times before, and nothing was aceomplished It s probable that another effort will be made at the present session to got an appropri- ation s a beginning, butl there is very little likelihood that it will succeed he Council and the Marshal he committee of the council huve very properly exonerated Marshal Cumnings from all responsibility in the Moflut case. What else could they do The marshal was at home and” in bed when the arrest was made, and knew nothing about the matter until the next morning The majority of the committeo went out of their way to incorporate in their re- port an opinion that the marshal is in- competent. This was to be expected All the three members of the council who signed their names to this precious document were democrats. The mar- shal is a republican. 1t was a good opportunity to ring in an endorsement of Mayor Boyd's poliey of persecution towards the marshal, and it 5 not omitted. Messrs. Lee and Kaspar very properly protested ngainst such a diver. sion of the functions of the committee to partisan ends, and presentod a winority report which confined itselt to the case under consideration The council promptly endorsed their vosition a vote of seven to five. The retention or removal of the mar- shal bas been made 8 partisan issue by Mayor Boyd and his democratic backing. The glove has been flung full in the face of the republican majority. They should not be slow 10 accept the challenge. No public interest ean possibly be subserved by the marshal's resignation or removal. Within' threa ' months we shall huve s be a new police system and a new chief in charge. For three months time Cum- mings will do «s well @5 any man who could be selected under our present methods of police control.
