BUILD VP THE NAVY.
The expanding life of the United
States calls imperatively for a navy
not only to insure national security
but to advance commercial interests.
The daj-s of snarling opposition to
increasing the navy are over. The
one and only question now regarding
our naval affairs is, To what ex
tent shall we enlarge the fleets?
Dewey and Sampson and Schley have
settled forever the cry of log-rolling
congressmen vrho have shouted, "No
more battle-ships,"' while they have
clamored for appropriations to
deepen insignificant creeks and to
erect palatial public buildings in ob
scure towns, leaving the navy to take
any fag ends it could get.
How shall the navy be built up?
"What kind of a consort shall be given
the spirit of national destiny that has
awakened from its slumber and has
reached out to the Orient wiih our
flag? First of all, the government will
call for more battle ships. Let them
be fast battle-ships also ships that
can overtake and destroy the fleets of
an enemy, no matter what flag that
enemy flies. Let congress make ap
propriations for five of these every
year for the next five years. The
government will request also more
Heet armored cruisers, improved
New Yorks and Brooklyns. At the
same time let it continue to en
courage inventions in naval con
struction. Let it secure more earthquake-matters
like the Vesuvius, a
vessel too long blacklisted by a cer
tain set of naval officials. Let it
build more Hollands, despite the fact
that these perfected submarine craft
have no quarter-decks and are pro
nounced "dangerous" by two or
three naval officers who love uni
forms more than the glories of war.
In short, let it take advantage of
every improvement to build up a
powerful navy in the interests of
national security and the protection
and advancement of trade.
Five battle-ships of the highest
grade a year would mean an annual
appropriation of 825,000,000 out of
a total appropriation of about $550
000,000 the sum that will probably
be required for the expenses of the
government, or about 4 per cent
of our yearly expenditures. Less
than 5 per cent of our national out
lay for the next five j'ears would,
therefore, put this country in a posi
tion where it could command peace
in defiance of any nation in the
world. At the end of that time we
should have fully forty line of-battle
ships and a total force that no coun
try but England could match. The
cost would be small; the benefit in
national security would be incalcul
able. Our additicnal armored cruis
ers and small craft could be built for
about $25,000,000 more, on the as
sumption that four armored cruisers
would be all that would be required.
For a total cost of $150,000,000
or $30,000,000 a year for the Dext
five years, then, this countrj' could
attain a position of absolute naval
independence. What a gam to us,
what a gain to the cause of peace,
what a gam to civilization that would
mean! The people want the ships,
our future demands them, and the
wealth of this country is ample to pay
for maintaining them.
Happily there is little reason to be
lieve that many men in our national
legislature will venture to oppose the
country's demand for such a navy.
The prospect is bright for the return
of the flag of the United States to
the high seas. The people have
awakened to the necessities of the
hour, and those of our public men
who have thf ir ears to the ground,
listening for popular movements, al--ready
are taking heed of the duties
and lessens brought home to this
nation by Dewey at Manila and
Sampson and Schley at' Santiago.
Inter Ocean.
Admiral Dewey's figure in the war
just closed towers above every other
in the army or navy. It is not alone
as a fighting commander that Dewey
has earned his high distinction. For
more than three months after de
stroying the fleet at Manila he faced
a most difficult problem in- diplo
macy. From first to last he com
manded the situation with the pru
dence of the statesman as well as the
firmness and readiness of the military
genius. He made no mistake. The
jealousies excited in some of the
nations of Europe by the entrance of
the United States into a new field
were ably met by this leader, whose
gifts have just been revealed to his
countrymen. When foreign med
dlers crossed the proper limit he re
pelled them with just enough of de
cision. - At the end he compelled the
city to surrender upon bis terms, and
it is legitimately the prize of his
operations. As for his great naval
battle, it will be famous as long as
time endures.. It was splendidly
intrepid and yet a carefully organized
attack, combining at once the pro
fcundest calculation and the most
brilliantly aggressive courage. Ad
miral Dewey's work is too complete
and conspicuous to cause envy. He
stands unquestionably first on the
roll of our heroes in the war with
Spain.

Persons troubled with diarhoea will
be interested in the experience of W. M.
Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov
idence, E. I. .He says: "For several
years I have been alrnoet a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating; me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the
disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affliction." For sale by

Mr. John Mathias, a well known stock
dealer of Pulaski, Ky., says: "After
suffering for over a week with flux, and
my physician having failed to relieve
me, I was advised to try Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and have the pleaeure of stating that
the half of one bottle cured me." For
