Tin: terrible execution of the English iloet upon the defences of Alexandria has raised anew the discussion relative to cur coast defences.' It is an indisputable fact that the poorest and oldest fashioned of the English iron clads could Jay waste any of our coast forts in a few hours. Fort ress Monroe is the only one that would stand any show, but the 'combined fire of two such terrible engines of destruction as rained blows on Alexandria last Friday would reduce that famous defense to a dismantled mass of rubbish in a few hours. t may be regarded as a settled fact that the only de fense the United States could inter " pose in case of necessity would be vessels equal in destructive power to'those of England. These ves sels are not in existence on this side the world. They have been bought and paid for; millions have been expended in government ship yards and stolen by govern ment pets and proteges, but in case of a war with England, or indeed any foreign power except Switzerland, this country would be at the mercy of its opponent. It is a standing national disgrace that such a state of affairs exists. Take the case of the three moni tors which were contracted for b' tlie government, at an enormous expense in 1875. One of them, the Miantonomah, had expended tmoer three million dollars on her construction, and the contractoi Mr. John Iioach, a gentleman who says we must have "protection."" had Iter condemned ly a private board, and he bought lier back without the vessel over leaving his ship yard, for thirty-two thou sand dollars. It is a characteristic of, ."protection." TIic Inflexible . was also built at a cost of $4,'24-7,-jpiflTQ, and when she was about ready to he launched the builder discovered that owing to some mis take in calculations she couldns float. The Puritan cost $4-,20G,-421. It has been proved that her guns are of an inferior model dis carded by the English and French government fifteen years ago. The Dreadnaught cost' .5,OOS,GJi.'5. No man can be found willing to at tempt to l.'inncli her. Here wo have millions upon millions of the people's money that for all practi cal resullauL might as well be . thrown in the ocean. .Scattered all' along the coast arc miserable little burrows, styled by courtesy, I'forLV1"Jirian-iii a v&ir with Enjr land, and two ol those. English lurreleu vessels steaming past l;-oit i'oint to shell ban r rancisco. The gunners at the forts with their old smooth-bore affairs, might as well throw clam shells at the ves sels. Imagine -one at the mouth ot the Columbia. On the coast defense chart is marked in all the glory of blue ink diagrams, "Fort . Stevens, and Fort Canby." "What would, the' amount to? not so much as the traditionary row of pins. But men say, "Oh, England and the United States are one people in thought and feeling. Thev'll never fight again." Those people never heard' of cousins fighting, likely. All this stuff about our English cousins is very pretr, but there is only one way possible to keep respect, and that is to require ait. JLt is vnh nations as with indi viduals. If we see a man that we know- can take care of himself . and whose muscles are in good trim, we naturally think twice be .. . fore knocking any chips off his shoulder. Some day national inter ests will conflict and then John Bull will bang away, in demand to home feeling, whatever the -"' country that arouses his ire. True, he got - his breakfast in 7G, was given a smoking hot dinner in ; 1812, and possibty could be ac- . -cbmmodated with a warm supper at any time he called for it, but the vessels to do the" -cooking in are not at hand, and arc scarce in j time of need. Fou the first time in main years Pennsylvania has a triangu-j lar political contest. It is not a! fight for oniee. but a determined stand against bassism. The Key-: stone J epuhlieans see. that Conk-; ling has lot the scepter of author-" ilv in New York; that lMineU: r.,,-r. i..-. l ij i. .i.

From present appearances 'twould seem that the Democrats have an excellent chance to creep in, and they are making use of all opportunity. Tin: most important newsfiomj Egypt is that a holy war has l":i : proclaimed. That means to the fanatical Moslems utter extermi nation of "the infidel,' and if the banner of the Prophet is raii-ed :il Mecca, there will be a dreadful massacre of all resident Europeans in every portion of the Sultan's dominions. The pilot law, formerly existing for the ports of Puget Sound, li.is been abolished, though pilots are still plying their vocation at the entrance of Juan dc Fuca straits. They hold no license, and captains or masteis of vessels wishing to employ them, can make the best possible bargains with them, a no fixed rates are established bv law. A Nkw Voinc tough, named Wilson, submitted to l)eing knocked down twenty -seven times, last Mondav. in New York, i)efore a crowd of 1 ,000 people. The knocker then paid the knoekee $1,000, and all hands got gloriously boozy.- The dispatches call it "a glove fight for the championship." There seems to be a certain amount of reluctance manifested by messengers in carrying any document to Arabi Pasha from the Egyptian, ministry. The fiict that he beheads' ovo.ry messenger that arriws, doubtless has something to do with it. l)i:. Ki:vi. killed Dr. Itoberts two vear ajjo at Millvilie, M., and was sent to the insane asylum. Last Thursday he was released, andon his appearance was promptly shot, dead by a son uf ihe mur dered man. He -is insane no longer. Tin: remains of Mrs. Lincoln was placed beside those of her husband at Springfield, Ills., yes terday. Gi:x. SiiEiiiHA.v and patty will make a trip through Montana and the Northwest, next September.
