COMPARATIVE STRENGTH.
Just at this time the relative
strength of the American and Span
ish navies is a matter of common in
tent. Yesterday's Oregonian pub
lished a table making a comparison
between the fighting strength on sea
of the two countries. A resume
shows that the United States has nine
battleships of the first class; Spain
has one. On her nine ships this
country has ISC heavy guns and 297
second battery gnns. The destruc
tion of the Maine in Havana harbor
leaves this country with only one
second-class fighting ship, the Texas.
In coast defense sea-going vessels'
the United States is strong. Spain
outnumbers the United States in the
matter of torpedo boats; but, taking
it all in all, the American navy is
very much stronger than that of
Spain.
It should be borne in mind that
the first-class battleships of the
United States are admittedly among
the finest in the wotld, and that the
Pelayo is some thousands of tons
lighter, is older in style of construc
tion, and much lighter in her arma
ment. The Spanish armored cruisers
are good ships from every point of
Tiew, having two guns that are hea
vier than any carried by the Xew
York or the Brooklyn, but cither of
these two Yankee boats would be
more than a match for one of the
Tizcaya class, because of the pre
ponderance of its guns. The Texas
and the now defunct Maine have
been compared with the IS'umancia
and the Yitoria, but neither of the
latter could stand for five minute.
before either of the former. Indeed,
the Texas or the Maine, if it were
still above water, singly could cap
ture or sink both of the Spaniards of
the second class.
Spain has more men in her navy
than the United States. Sbe has a
total of 1009 officers, and the United
States 982, including those of the
marine corps. Spain has 10,1300 sea
men : the United States 1 2,000. The
total active list in the Spani&b nuvy
is 24.C29, and that in the United
Stales navy 13,582. Spain has 20,
000 naval reserves, or as many men
in that department as there are in the
army of the United States. The
total number of reserves for the
United States navy is 2800.
WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN.
February will always remain a
month of impressive patriotic les
sons, for in that month the United
States was given its twain of noblest
characters Washington and Lincoln.
The lives of these patriots form so
perfect a complement to each other
that one can almost believe the cele
bration of the anniversary' of their
birth within a fortnight was brought
about by providential design.
Linco'n's career abounds in splen
did lessons tor the plain people of
the land. He was of the common
people. His childhood was set
among the rude surroundings of the
backwoods. By day he played and
toiled barefoot in the dealing and
on the prairie. By night he climbed
a rude ladder to his rude bed of corn
husks. Child of destiny, called of
God to crush the growing intolerance
of the slave-holding oligarchy nnd
break down a false "chivalry" and j
a pernicious social system wn'cui,J'5jj5Q ttiC
sought to degrade labor nnd destroy
democracy.
The life of Washington is a noble
lesson to every American born to
wealth and social power. His pre
cepts, his deeds, his lofty patriotism
and splendid sacrifice stand as a
stern rebuke to that dangerous and !
unpatriotic element which is willing j
to prostitute its duties as men and
citizens to the mere absorption of
wealth and envy-begetting display. 1
In a sense, Washington was an ar
istocrat; but above his aristocracy he
held patriotism, justice, exalted re-
spect for labor, and" abhorrence of,
snobbery and coarse display. With ,
sush ''aristocrats" the plain people
have no feud. They recognize that j
high character has a right to cany
itself with dignity: that it is needed
in the council and the camp, and its
influence is benign. "Spokesman
