Secretary/ Chandler's »p«*r,h before the New Hampshire Cfub at Ronton. * This country to-day, with all Its wealth and Intelligence, with all Jt* sea coast, with all its seaman, with all its saaport*. is not in a condition to enter any International controversy with any one of the great powers of' earth. While we were once rivals of Great Britain npon the ocean, afd while we once had a navy which in the war of 1812 compelled Rrithh naval officer* to Html »lo«r»»H»e"4»r+mi» »f.HU.Oeocge be- fore tlio Stars and Stripes, tereat Brit­ ain to-dar has 499 vessels in its navy, flR of which are Iron-clad*, and 434 of which are general service vessels, while the United States lias only 111 uessels in all--24 of which are iron-dads and 87 general service vessels--the wretched condition of which yon have heard described by a committee of Congress (which the Secretary read). Npw, I ask you gentlemen, is this coun­ try In any condition to enter upon a war which. God forbid, may come; but which in the providence of God may come In the future with Great Britain, France Gerinnny. and Russia. Each have Iron-clads superior to our own, and even Italy, although it has not a superior tonnage of naval vessels to ours, has two ships which are equals ot any Iron-clads in the world. Now, gentlemen, these are fasts worthy 'he consideration of American citizens, and the question is: What will Amer­ ica do in vtew of her naval inferiority as compared with the other great pow­ ers of the world? Are you willing to proclaim that America retires from the ocean: that we are to be a people that live on Ijind, and that our offlceas and seamen are not to go upon the ocean to demonstrate that th« United States is a great naval p.>wer? or are you deter­ mined this country shall return to her place among the great nations who not only rule the land, but aspire tin the command of the sea? I do not advo­ cate the extensive construction of nav­ al vessels; we want a lew modern steam cruisers. Is there any reason under heaven, gentlemen of the House of Representatives and Senators, why the United States should not own one crusing vessel that is faster than any other vessel that can be built elsewhere On the fa?e of the earth. We can build her in this country. We want not twelve or twenty, but cannot we afford to exhibit one of the fastest ocean and cruising vessels that human ingenuity can construct? I btelieve »o, and I be­ lieve that we can afford t» build four or five iron-clads for harbor defense, so that we need not bluster and threaten any of the smaller powers of earth, and run the risk of having two or thr*e of their Iron-clads enter the harb»r of San Francisco or Boston, or New York and destrov the commerce of these harbors, and these harbors themselves, while we are getting ready to finish half a dozen iron-clads. which when finished will be the equal of any in the world; but which we have let He unfin- tinished with 83,000,000 or 94.000,000 in­ vested in them for the last seven years.*' Mr. Chandler then explained the ef­ fect of the decadence of the American commerce, citing South America, and submitting a statement of the exports and imports with South America, which show we imported over $102,000,- 000 in excess of our exports. "This we had to pay to South America by send­ ing our gold and our grain and onr cot- 1 torn and our pot role nn^, to Knglaml and to Frarce, while England and France ' send $102,000,000 ©f their manufactured goods to South America to pay onr debts, when, under a wise and conrtig- ous policy, we should have sent that $102,000.000in American manufactured goods. We can beat them, gentlemen. In manufacturing goods. Now,gentle­ men, I do not say this Is all, because we have nofcommercial steamers, but T do sav the beginning of the acquisi­ tion of trade in South America should be the restoration of the Ameri­ can flag to the commercial ma­ rine of the country. And more than that, this directly concerns the navy of the United States. Every one of these foreign vessels which enter the ports of South America is subsi­ dized by" European governments, stid is subject to be taken at any moment by the uatlan from which It proceeds and made part of her navy. Our peo­ ple will not submit to this humiliation, and the sooner we realixe the dnty which is before ns, and arise to its performance, the sooner shall we do ju«tice to ourselves and restore our­ selves to that position and standing which we are entltled'to in tho eyes of the nations of the world." m MASONRY OP \ croat* . No wise man will set out on A jour­ ney without providing himself with at least fifty cheap cigars. Those which can he bought for two cents are Just as good as those sold for a dime, and the gilt of one is rewarded with Jntt the same conrtsey. Ton are in a hurry to change trains and re-check baggage. The checkman doesn't care two cents whether you are left or not, and the chances are that you wonld be left but for the cigar. Edge tip to him. drop the cigar Into his fingers, ask him to re-check you to Indianapo­ lis, sfnd you are flxel In six seconds. Hours later, when he comes to sit down for a smoke, he may remember your phis, and bless it--but you artT far away. The brakeman on a passenger train stndles gruffness. Tort can't of­ fer him money nor ask hinr out to take a glass of beer; but if /you want to know exactly how long you have to wait at Hanover Junction, and how long it takes you to run from there to Washington, just tender him a two- cent cigar. His granite countenance will instantly melt and run ail over his face, and he will feel himself bound not only to answer all Inqnrics, but to tell you how you can save two dimes In getting yew «sp|»r at the restau­ rant. In fact, the influence of a two- cent cigar is aimosi boundless. It will stop any citizen of any city, and make him feel happy to answer a dozen ques­ tions. It will direct you to the best hotels, point out the best sights, make street-car conductor* talk; give you the best seat In the onnnlbns. and compllsh all that gold and silver do. No man should travel without them. THK !CKW9l*AFlbK WAX. The reason why so few men, fe»lW atlvely, succeed In journalism, I* h*- cause so few have for It the tempera­ ment and the constitution.

There are many reasons for this, but since the development of railroads In that country we are beginning to find out somothing. An American who quite lately came from Neqico states that the Mexicans have few manufactures and no modern machin­ ery; that he has seen a thousand men and boys at work in a Held harvesting with sickles; that heretofore there have been very few companies and flrim In Mexico, as they have had a great distrust of railway or any other corporations,; that ou account of this distrust, moncv Is accumulated, hoard­ ed and rendered useless by its owners, and to the communities in which they reside; that he knows of one family that has two hundred and fifty thous­ and dollars stowed away in barrels; that there is only one bank in Mexico, which is owned by Englishman; and that the only thing approaching In character to i bank authorized or es­ tablished by tho government is a large pawnshop *v|iich makes advances on various articles. These brief state­ ments indicate at once the directions in which progress Is most essential and the deficiencies wliiph, to a great extent, will probably be remedied by the enterprises in which a' number of our countrymen are interested. ur Carter gave utterance to one sentence in his speech at Kanka­ kee that every man fehould clip out and paste in his hat. He said: "Politic­ ians may be despised, but more than a dfshonest politician I despise the busi­ ness man who is so wrapped up in the pursuit of the almighty dollar that he has no time to vote." In every com­ munity the better element of society is in the majority, and in every com­ munity whose government is rotten and coutrollevl by buiumers and soala- wag? there is no one at fault except those who are so wrapped up in the pursuit of the almighty dollar that they have no time to vote. In this sentence the mayor struck the key-note of good government and political IIQD» esty.--Chicago Netv«. ggrSome Germans were recently tallfihg over the subject of elopement which occured in Chicago when one asked another if he would be oflended if his wife was to elope. **I bade you." said Tlans striking the beer table with iiis fl«t, "of my vlfe should rui avay mlt ano'lfl^r man's vlfe.
