AMERICAN NAVIGATION.
The head of the bureau of naviga
tion at Washington, Mr. Cliamber
lain, gives in his last annual report
some information which is specially
pertinent at this time. Our country
is about to-enter upon a new era in
foreign commerce, and ought to re
gain the advantage in the ocean
carrying trade which it enjoyed in
the '50s and has never since been
. able to retover.
It is stated by Mr. Chamberlain
that the tonnage of American vessels
entered and cleared at seaports of the
United States in foreign trade during
the year 1897 comprised 7,248,625
tons, while the tonrage of the foreign
vessels foots up 32,632,419 tons. This
is a showing which ought to chal
lenge the attention of congress, and
secure the adoption of a policy which
will develop our shipping interest.
As matters now stand, more than
four-fiftb3 of our foreign trade pays
toll to and is the support of foreign
shipping. The balance of foreign
snipping, as of foreign trade, ought,
on the contrary, to be in our own
favor.
A closer nnalysis makes a still
more unfavorable showing. It seems
that in the case of foreign ports more
than 1.500 miles distant American
shipping amounted to only 2,068,656
tons, the foreign shipping to 27,419,
026. In other words, our o!d world
trade, whether in Europe, Asia,
Africa, or the far islands, is conducted
cn foreign bottoms, with the excep
tion of less than 8 per cent.
Mr. Chamberlain does not beat
about the bush, but flatly declares
his belief that the most feasible course
is direct government aid, or subsidy,
to vessels built in the United States.
That would increase both national
navigation shipbuilding, and make
them inseparable.
According, to Mr. Chamberlain,
while our Pacific trade is rapidly
growing, it is slipping as rapidly
away from our navigation. This
tendency must be reversed. The
next congress will have to take this
matter in hand- If we do not want
our splendid victory in Manila bay
turned, so far as concerns American
navigation, into a "barren idealitj',"
we must not be deaf to the Chamber
lain note of warning.

AN ATROCIOUS CONTEST.
Cl"sintr. f-etfiii's in the six-day
v.1j race at New York. were a dis
grace to American civilization. All
the riders were "greggy" from over
exertion and loss of sleep. Some of
them were demented and silly, and
their brutal, UDfeeling trainers had to
deal with them" as one might humor a
child or an imbecile. The contest
ants ceased to be free moral agents,
and "were held to their odious task by
a species of intimidation.
Nothing good or wholesome can
come from these atrocious contests.
They are debasing, demoralizing, and
it the so-called "sport" should be
come at all general, the very existence
of the nation would be endangered,
because no people can give way to a
desire for such brutalizing exhibitions
and preserve the finer sensibilities
wb.ich lie back of national greatness
and glory.
Contests of this character are on a
much lower plane than prize-fighting.
Compared with them, the bull fight is
refined and elevating. Public decency
must be at a low ebb in a city which
will permit them to continue for an
entire week without lodging an ef
fective remonstrance. Spokesman
