Coast Defenses.
In his annual report to the Sec
retary of War. Gen. "Wright, Chief
of Engineers of the United States
army, calls attention to a matter
that is at present being discussed
by every - paper on the coast line
of the Union. He says:
"'The casemated works, of which
our seacoast defenses are largely
composed, were built when wooden
walls were the only protection of
guns afloat. Now ships of war
are clad in armor up to two feet
in thickness, and the old smooth
bores have been replaced by rifled
guns, the largest of which throw
shot of nearly a ton weight, and
which burn at each discharge
nearly a quarter of a ton of pow
der. While other maritime nations
are adding to their already power
ful navies heavilv armed ships of
war, which are armed with 81 and
100-ton guns, and which cost, ex
clusive of armament, more than
two and a half millions of dollars,
the' are building armored defenses
for the protection of their own
coasts. Great Britain has already
more than 500 guns in position be
hind armored defenses. "We have
not one such gun, nor have we any
armored defenses whatever.
Though the United States is a
peaceful nation yet, it some
times happens that peaceful people
can only rest secure in the posses
sion of peace by fighting for it.
It is not at all probable that any
foreigh power will ever attempt to
land troops on American soil to
subjugate the country, but almost
any foreign fleet could dictate its
own terms to any sea coast city in
the nation. Gen. Wright goes
on to say:
I think it is plainly demonstrat
ed, not onty that reliance can be
placed on no other mode of defense
of our sea coast, but that fortifica
tions and torpedoes furnish the
most efficient, most enduring and
least expensive modes for' such
defenses, and I earnestly hope that
Congress may be induced to grant
for the next fiscal year a reason
ableamount for the resumption of
work on our sea coast defenses.
The suggestions are most appro
priate. It might also be well
while the government is about it,
to stop appropriating money for
the repair of worthless old tubs,
and build a few vessels worthy of
the nation and the times.

Then it -was consistent to ask a
juryman if he had any opinion in
regard to the case he was to pass
upon, for unless a neighbor of
either party in the ease it was al
most certain that he would
answer in the negative. But to
day, how changed all the condit
ions and customs of life! Yet
that antique humbug is with us in
all its fossiliferous senselessness.
As it stands it is a direct bid for
ignorance; for none but the igno

tent to sit in a jury in a case of any
publicity.

The recent Atlanta Exposition is
said to be next to the Centennial
the grandest industrial gathering
ever seen in the United States.
The exhibition of cotton machin
ery, and of evidences of the min
eral, timber and and agricultural
resources of the state were, it is
said, most convincing evidence in
extent and quality that that sec
tion of the Union is on the thres
hold of a new era of prosperity
and progressive success.
As an offset to the alleged Ke
publicax intention to have Dakota
admitted at the next session of
congress, it is reported that the
Democrats intend introducing a bill
dividing Texas into three portions
and admitting each as a sovereign
state, thus securing six Democratic
senators.
It is recorded as a unique de
parture from political usage that
in the late political campaign in
Massachusetts mob one of the four
gubernatorial candidates made a
speech during the canvass, wrote
a letter to influence votes, or even
formally accepted the nomination.

A Washington dispatoh of the
19th says: General Francis A.
Wralker, ex-superintendent of the
census bureau, has submitted a
statement to the secretary of the
interior containing some inteiest
ing facts concerning representa
tion in the nest house. Total
population of states, 49,371,340.
With the number of representa
tives at the present figure, 293,
this would give one representative
to every 1C9,OSO of population.
On this basis the followiug chang
es in representation would ensue
in the forty-eighth cengress: Ar
kansas, California, Miohigan. .Mis
sissippi, South Carolina ard West
Tirginia gain one each; Minnesota
and Nebraska gain two each, Kan
sasyjaias three and Texas four;
vAiabama, Illinois, Maine, Mary
land, New Hampshire, Ohio,
Tennessee and Vermont lose on
each, Pennsylvania two, and Now
York three. Other states show
no change.
Ix is shadowed forth a a part of
.Arthur's policy that he intends
making all Territorial appoint
ments from the Territory in ques
tion, and not from political favorites,-
as has been the custom. Thii
. plicy would have the prestige of
novelty and the probability of suc
cess.. Considerable dissatisfaction
has hitherto been displayed by the
appointment of non-residents to
.important offices in the gift of the
President, and as a matter of jus
tice to fledgling sovereignties it
would be well to inaugurate such
s. sensible policy, as is indicated by
late utterances on the part of tht
executive.

To the Citizens ok Astoria :

many encomiums because of his sum
marily removing a marshal for insult
ing a woman, will the council ot our
citv imitate Mayor Grace and remove of

disgraceful transaction V Why has t here

believe that if the guilty parties hail not

have remained in onice? If charges
liavd beea made, who is it that is smoth
ering them v is it not lime mat we, ns
citizens, should ay "Gentlemen lot ns

in the coming city election strengtiK'n

ness and licentiousness be deemed good
qualities in a policeman ; or cunning
in concealing crime when there Is
money In it, be the chief quality we
want in the man who is at the head of
the police force V Is it not timo to

a fact that the principle which governs

that uvea a reduction in the force of
