General Tracy, promises to be worthy
ucccMor to Wm. C. Whitney, a secre
tary of the United States nary. At least
he starts off well and is not letting the
grata grow trader hit tret in preparing
for the coaatroction of the new vessels
authorized by -the Fiftieth Congress.
Those who are not conversant with the
condition of oar nary ftiur years ago.
when secretary Whitney took up the
work, can hardly realize what a prodig
ious amount of labor was done by him
and what an impetus he gave to the
need of creating a new and substantial
nary. Secretary Tracy assumes the of
6ce at an opportune time, he seems to
fully recognixc and coincide with - the
views and work of his predecessor, and
we are glad to see him go to work with
his coat off and in a business like manner.
Let him and his successor continue the
work with the same enthusiasm ami
business like methods inaugurated by ex
Secretary Whitney, and at the expiration
of that time the United States will pos
sess navy of which no Power need be
ashamed.
Last week the friends and neighbors of
secretary Tracy, in Brooklyn, gave him a
house-warning, and in the course of his
speech the general said :
yivyvw w buikiv to tin; jnuiuinr
that the navy yards of this country dur
ing my administration shall not be asy
lums for inefficient and incompetent and
worthless mechanics, (great applause and
cheering) whether they are republicans
or democrats. And further, gentlemen,
inexperienced as I am aa to the duties ol
the new office, I propose to rid myself ol
every obstacle that shall prevent or hin
der m the least degree my powers in the
discharge of that high office."
When ex-secretary Whitney tookcharge
of the navy department four years ago
he made no pretentions, he voiced no
such sentiment aa the above, but bis every
official act viewed in the retrospect, is in
exact accord with those principles. Sec
retary Tracy baa outlined his policy and
made his promises. Will he adhere to
them ? We art inclined to think he will,
judging from the present and the imme
diate past. If so, he will deserve and re
ceive the approbation of all fair minded
men.
There is no reason why we should not
possess a navy which in every particular
would excel that of any other country.
There is not a single feature which Amer
ican genius and skill has not invented
and which cannot be made right here at
home. Our mechanical engineers are not
surpassed by those of any country in the
world. Our marine engineers are also com
tug to rank with the best. We have made
great progress in this respect during the
last few years. A noteworthy instance
being the fact that an American marine
engine builder recently took the contract
to build and equip the huge machinery of
the compound engines and boilers lor the
new cruiser Maine.
In the matter of steel cruisers and arma
ments, torpedoes und torpedo boats and
cruising monitorsand rams, in which dur
ability, efficiency and sjn-ed. are impor
tant factors we have long held the lead.
England haa a powerful navy but many
of her ships are ponderous masses ol iron
and oftentimes un wieldly beyond meas
ure. To-day, the Sultan, a huge iron
clad battle ship of the British navy is
aground in the Mcditerancuii. The Eng
lish are strongly talking of building a
fleet of less un wieldly ships and il so will
come to the United States for "pointers".
The development ol the navy department
in every branch is a just source of pride
to every American. In taking up and
vigorously pushing to completion the
work and plans of bis predevess jr, secre
tary Tracy is to be commended and we
but voice a universal sentiment When we
say, speed on.
IU. MK IN) IT f
President Harrison has received a
strong appeal from the nmny hundreds
of American residents in China, and es
pecially the missionaries, urging him to
retain Mr. Charles Denby, the present
minister of the United States to the Ce
lestial Empire. Mr. Denby was assigned
the Chinese mission by ex-President
Cleveland. He has proved a worthy
and competent diplomat and given the
best of satisfaction to the natives as well
as to the foreign residents of the Em
pire. .
On account of the peculiar character of
the government and people of Cbiua, this
is one of the most important of the for-
cign missions to nu, 11 Air. uenoy nas
proved an able representative, and un
doubtxdly be has, he is the right man for
the position and should be reappointed
by Mr. Harrison. But, with all these
facts in his favor, which ought outweigh
any partisan prejudice in the considers
tioa ofan appointee, will he be returned ?
We hardly think he wilt. Premier Blaine
is not doing business in that way. - A
maa who will appoint bw own son to
discharge the duties of aa official posi
tion for which be has not the f rst quali
fication, will not be apt to retain a Dem

party inserted a civil service plank in
their platforms of 1HM, and 1 HhH, but
where is the practical part of it; echo

dent Harrison would not only aert his
independence from the rule of the politi
cians, but would be rewarding a faithful
public servant who has demonstrated by

the position. Charles Denby, the present
minister to the Celestial Km tire should
by all means be retained in the diplomatic
service.
INTHK HOI MEOr HIKFRlENDtl
Speaking in reference to the apjKiint
ment of Walker Blaine as examiner of
claims by the President, the Washington
Gazette (Rep.) says:
'We confess, the appointment sur-
prises us. We expected that I resident
Harrison would select men for office pos
sessing at least some of the requisite
quunncations, una mni nis appointees
would be men of standing and character.

rrutta of the Hlesuted Tariff.
The owners of a factory for making felt
boots in Northern New York propose to
remove their establishment across tlie
line into Canada. By this change they
will escape the heavy duty on wool
which they are obliged to pay in this
country. While their raw material will
be thus cheapened, they will be able to
send their manufactured products over
the line and sell them to American con
sumers in spite of a duty of 67 per cent.
In other words, tlie manufacturers iu
Canada will pocket the amount of the
tax on wool, while the consumers in the
United States will pay the high tax on
the goods. This illustrates one of the
beauties of a tariff system which in tax
ing raw materials despoils Amer; can
producers, as well as consumers, for the
benefit of foreign iudustries. Philadel
