Theevident idon of t ex-senator is that if an exigency should arise demanding o navy the contry could quickly construct one suflicient for its defonse, ns was done during the war of the rebellion, The president does not agres with Mr, Ingalls and theothers who eriticiz the new navy. Hesaysthere justice in making any comparison between the period of the rebellion and this, for the obvious resson that times have changed and the conditions to-dayave vastly dif- forent. at progross has been made in the art of gunmery and shipbuilding, and war vessols that were ofective a quarter of a econtury ago would be of littte use now. s*The truth of it is,” said the president, “that the establish- mentof anavy putsa nation upon a re- spectable footing, and is the hest guar- anteeagainst the possibility of any war. In other words, it is insurance and should be regarded” Inpelligent public sentiment is undoubtedly largely on the side of the president, not that a majority of the people desive a vast ex- penditure of money in order that the United States shall have the greatest navy in the world, but that wemayhave anaval foree sullicient for adequate de: fense and which willexert an inflienco in commanding the respoct of other na- tions, It isnotnecessary thatwe have anavy to equal in proportions that of England, but on theother hand there is 10 good reuson why we shoutd not have 2 navy at least equal to that of Italy, whose rank is now fifth amongthenaval powers, Anadequate navy,as President Har- riso nsnid, isa gusrante against the possibility of any war. A nation able to defond itself isin a protty safo position. No country, hovever, which isin active intercourse with other nations, and has interests to guardand maintain that may comeinto conllict with those of other countries, is war anted in feeling absolutely secure againstthe possibility of war. Were the men who govern Italy us hot-headed as some of their countrymen in the United States wo might recive a hoslile visitfrom the naval fleetof that country by way of en- foreing a domand for reparation in be- half of the velatives of tho Italians killed in New Orleans. At anytim: within the pasttwo yearsa rupture be. tween this country and Bnglind: grow- ing out of the Bahring sen controversy, has been possible, and while the latest aspectof this isue gives promise of an amicable sottlement,it would not be wiso to conclude that there is no danger of more serious difficulty, One thing may be very positively affirmed, if wo had possessed an sdequite navy we shonld probably have no controversy, for the poschers who caused it would have kept away, Tho nation is s ecent interview tor is no so ic A aking an oxtension of its foreign tra It is entering into commereial agreements and treaties with other countries whose business lations nations. ro- largely with European The tendency is to urtail the commereial and influence of Burope in this hemisphore, while wo are steadily growing moro nagressive i wserting the doctrine that Buropean wations must keep hands of of overything American.

Such evidonces of hearty for the development and reci- procity, on the part of practical businoss mon. is & sufficient answerto the carping and criticism of those who areunable to s00 any promiseof advantage or bhenefit in the policy simply becase itis being promoted by a republican administra- tion. Thesolid men of business and the commereial associntions whose endorse ment has been given to the pln of reci- procity, and who we uttesting their faith by acts, are not muled in what they are doing. They are judging the matter wholly from o practieal stand- mint, regardless of polities or parties, and having had time to carefully weigh the possibilities, they are preparing to take advantageof the more favorablo condidions offered in the southern mirkets. Theyaregoing about it, too, in an intlligent way. It is notpro- posed to flood those markets with goods, but shrewd and experienced men will first be sent there to ascortain what is wanted and the conditions under which tiade must be established. There is reason to helieve that so far as themer- chants of Brazil are concorned they are prepared togivethe preferenceto Ameri- can goods which can compete in quality and price with similar goods from Ku- rope, and if our merchants and manufac: projosed with goods ative to ssts rec concarn sucess of th n give them satisfactory terms in other respects they will havelitile difficulty in securing the business. Beciuse the administration has not heen able to effect agrecments or troat: ies with all the South American coun- tries at once there s a disposition in some quarters to dispamge the efforts making % extend reciprodity, bul there is no reason todoubt that progress isbeing made as rapidly as practicable in wview of the great difficulties to be overcome. The task is not only of great magnitude, but there are many delicate and perplexing problems involved that requre to be trented with great care and eircumspec: tion. It is presumed to be the aim of the administration to do whatever is accomplished thoroughly, with a view to avoiding fulure misunderstandings and to securing permanent results If the administration shall be able todraw most of the American republies into veciprocity before the expivation of its torm, it will have accomplished a very great work. Meanwhileit is receiving most gratifying encouragement from the practical business interests of the country, and is amply assured of the general popular upproval, INTEEREST ON PUBLIC FUNDS, The houss has passed the Gunnett bill providing for the deposit of public funds in the hands of state, comnty and municipal treasures, which are not needed for immediate use and for the pavment ofall sums of money roceived as interest or premiums for the use of such money, into thegeneral fund of the state. county or municipality to which it belongs. This is an important mesure and deals adeath blow toa prolifie e quisito hitherto enjoyed by these offi- cors and will if finally enacted into an equitable law and enforced save to the state, counties and ies considerable sums of money hitherto a part of the renumeration of the several treasurers, The deposits of the stato tressury are said tobe worth $235000 a yew to the state treasurer and the interest incomss of county and munieipal trustees of pub- lic funds have been proportionitely profitable. Thelaw aims to correct an evil of ecognized ‘proportions and is ver ingent inits terms and severe in its ponnslty, Itis wealk insomo particulars, however, and should be amended. The bill'provides that the bank, company, corporation or individual assuming the custody of the funds for the treasurer “‘shall execute a bond for an amount double the high- est sum deposited,” which bond shall indemnify the treasurer and his sureties against loss or defaleation, but which shall not be construed to relieve the treasurerr or his bondsmen from their liability. The languge of the proposed act if literlly construed will require now bond for each deposit of funds, smallor great.

Colonel Polk, the head of the national body, is now on his way to Lowa, where he will organize the allimce forces for political actionin that state. Ifthere isanystatoin the unionwhere such an organization is not demanded, in the sense that there wasa reason for it in Nebraska and Kausas, it is Towa. The farmers there have already acom- plished the prindipal reforms for which the movernent strives in other states, The Towa milrowd rates are the goal of the producers in Nebrasks and Kansas, and no other reforms are domanded whichare not eusily within the reach of the people throigh one of the present parties, The only result of a third party moveuent therecanbe to assist the de- woeracy topower, The democratic tendencies of the al- lisncein other western states have re- coived ample illustration in the last three months. By the election of fena- tors in[llinois, South Dakota and Kan- sus, the willingness of the two parties to combine has been strikingly displayed. Intwoof these cusesthe demoerats have actually voted for theallisnce tandidate, and inthe otherthe alliance votes have gone to the demoeratic nominee. There is no attempt to separate the alliance strength from the democrats in the southern states. There the move- ment s simply awheel within a wheel; the politicians of the allince ruming the demoeratic machine, This has ben the policy in the last six months and it will doubtless be continued until the elose of the presi- dential election. The democrats will not endanger the integrity of the solid south by attempting to fight the farmers’ influence at thiscritical time. The result of thesc combinations is veory pliin. The farmers’ movement is being shrewdly manipulited to give strength tothe democracy inthe south and todivide the democricy’senemy in the west. 1f the plan canbe carried out itwill make thepath of the democratic party to the completo assumption of na- tional power easy and straight. An obstacle may arise, however, inthe shape of the angry protest of the repub- lican farmer. When he reviews the disheartening resultsof the third party movement and discerns the inevilable tendency of the present plans, he may prefer his old party allgiane to his old political enemy in this thin disguise. Last year the situation was not elearly understood. There was reason to hope for some good from o decisive protest aguinst corporate d omination in the re- publican party. And this gool may be ina mensure reulized hereafter But it the alliance is merely to be turned inton third party for the pur- pose of placing 1 democrat in the prosi- dential chair, republican farmers will after due reflection decline to play cats- puw for thesouthern brigudiers who are fomenting independent party action anong the alliances in the western states, but taking great care tokeep the alliance in harmony with the democracy inthe solid south, THE fact that Paris and London en- goged cach other in tele phone con vorsa- tion on March 17,1801, is wvorth jouling down in the memdry as narking @ not- able event in th}h’\sun-_\' of rapid commu- nications in Europe.
