Aside from the experimental character of the mounting of the matn | batteries, the Kearsarge offers no opportunities for doubt as to her su. | pertor fighting quatities, Designed at a time when naval constructors Were seeking most zealously for combined battery protection and enor: mous offensive power, the two battleships of the Kearsange type repre: gent in effect the climax of effort in thie direction, They are intended to overwhelm an enemy by the concentrated fire of big guna, the rapid fire of the secondary hattery being subordinated to the heavy ordnance in the double turrets at either end of the ship. No foreign battleship now ®ullt or ‘butiding can hurl upon an adversary such a weight of armor: piercing projectiles as the Kearsarge can deliver, The deference of naval constructors to heavy ordnance reached its apogee in the production of the Kearsarge and her sister ship the Kentucky With these huge floating fortresses added to the federal navy, ite power for offense and defense will be notably tncreased; yet it is not at all Ikely that the naval experts and authorities of the future will turn to these vessels as exemplars of the model fighting ship. The valuable in- struction of actual naval warfare has lessened the regard of battleship designers for heavy «uns, and even for heavy armor, The demand now ts for high speed, effective protection of gun emplacements, and @ battery | of ordnance capable of pouring a constant rain of projectiles upon a | hostile ship. Experience in the brief war with Spain has confirmed the | oft-exprease@ opinion of ordnance experts in regard to the paramount | value of eight-inch and six-inch rapid fire guns, and of the latter ¢ each of the new battleships authoriaed by the late congress will have no | leas than 16, with the capacity to smother the fire of almost any oppoe- ing battery that could be brought to bear upon them. The Kearsarge type marks the limit of heavy gun instaliation in modern navies, as the new vessels of the Maine class denote the advent of the principle of a | withering concentrated fire of multiplied rapid fire guns as the cardinal tenet of modern naval tactics | ———_—— Increasing contempt for the law is one of the significant signs of the | times tn America. Laws are passed. only to be ignored in many cases by offictale and broken with impunity by citizens. The farce of prohibiting | certain things as inimical to the best interests of communities, and then permitting thowe things to continue to exist. is apparently growing tn | populerity in official circles. Hypocrisy is becoming engrafted into the national character. ‘The day is not far distant when this republic will be seriously endang~ ered unless the tendency to lawlessness on the part of officials and cit!- gens, is summarily checked. ‘The thing to do ts to repeal, or modify, all laws that do not sult the people, and then rigidly enforce those that are left. Officials should be expected to enforce ali laws which they may find on the statute books. Take, for example, the Sunday labor law. Is it endorsed by the ma- | Jority of the people? If #0, tt should be enforced. If not, it should be _ amended, or repenied. In its broad application this law probibits the | funning of street carson Sunday. Do the people want the street cars| stopped? If so, let the cars be stopped. If not, let us have an end to hypocrisy and amend the jaw. Let us be honest. The lawyers may say, “Oh, you cannot stop one man's business on the Sabbath day and allow another to operate.” How's that? Cannot the people enact any laws that please them? Cannot they modify the constitution, if necessary, in order to get what they want? There ts no power superior to the will of the people. They are superior to the constitution of the United States, Any law can be made codstitutional by their will. What is sorety needed is an aroused public sentiment throughout the United States in favor of the honest modification of existing laws so as to conform to the wishes of the people. Let all laws after being passed by legisiatures or munictpal governmenta, be submitted to popular vote. If the people approve, then jet the laws as finally adopted be merciiessly enforced against all offenders. With a modified code and rigid enforcement of the laws, the quaking foundations of this republic wi! be strengthened. __ ‘The questions arising as a result of our conquests in the West and Bast Indies are full of diMiculties. When the Constitution was adopted the contingency of our acquiring distant inaplar possestons inhabited by intractable semi-civilized or savage races, unsuited to the enjoyment of free representative government, was unconsidered. The Indians within the United States when the Constitution was adopted were simply excluded from consideration as persons not taxed, and, therefore, not entitled to representation, although each slave was considered to be three-fifths of @ man. As the power “to dispose of and make all needful rules and regula- tions respecting the territory or other property of the United States” is Specifically vested in congress, it would hardly be deemed an undue Stretch of legisiative authority to establish a system of government sult- ed to the special needs of our island populations for a probationary Period until they should be capable of self-government. ={={={{{={{{=={{{{{===={========{==_=_=======&_={_2T2["2@2_"[T_—~—_—~_d <oieeioteiatine APHORISMS ina people who make [Insulting remarks about nearly every woman that pass eo», and often to the woman herself Even when nd remark is made about her, their athe and obscene lan wuage are most shocking 1 have often wondered why the merchants in the Burke block and Rialto do not have it stopped A traveling man was impre this way: “That fs the most try thing I ever saw in a t this alae.
