Farragut'B fights at New Orleans and MoMie inspired two of the noblwt war ballads iBrownell'si. Gettysburg give us Bert Ilarte's splendid account of "John Brown of Gettysburg." The poem, "He'll See It When He Wakes," the tender verses about "The Burial of Latane," John R. Thompson's "Mu sic In Camp," Randall's "My Mary land," the ballad of "Little GifTen of Tennessee" all these and ft hundred others were inspirations of the war of lS;i-'Ki. Why Is It that the present war has Inspired absolutely not one stanza that is worthy of preservation? Why has no poet celebrated Dewey, or Holison, or Schley, or the Uougn Riders, or Walnwrfght, or any of the rest of them? Is poesy dead? Doofl heroism no longer stir its pulses? Is ours an age so critical that poetic en thusiasm no longer dares lift up Its Ever since its existence the American navy has beeu engaged in teaching wIh doiu to other nations, and It has con tinued the good work during" the war with Spain In a fine way. It has hrwn that the much vaunteti torpedo txt their destroyers and the torpedoes themselves are not to be feared, and that now, as always, numerous and heavy guns, with skilled and courage ous men to handle them, are the bt reliance In sea fighting. When the Spanish fleet left Its home port for the West Indi -s. to sweep us off the sea, we were almost frightened Into the belief that the torpedoes on the big armored cruisers, combined with the swift torpedo boat destroyers, would do us great damage, hut since Xbe fight at Santiago we have realizedand so has the rest of the world that our fears were entirely groundleiw. When a small, hastily armed steam pleasure yacht sank two of the terrible destroy ers, without sustaining any damage worth mentioning herself, and when one of the enemy's formidable vessels blew itself up by meat)! of one of her torpedoes, our naval experts, and the of the other maritime nations, realized that we had demonstrated something quite as valuable as we did when we brought the Iron revolving turret the cheese box on a raft into action on that memorable morning in Hampton Roads thirty-six years ago-. Fast-jro-ing, easily maneuvered, heavily armed vessels is what we have found most valuable In this war. We need more of them, and we will doubtless con tinue building them as fast as we can, and so will the other naval powers, now that we have shown them that these are the best. If this country continues to be pros perous the industrial classes must lx Intelligent and contended.

There is only one way by which the Industrial classes can kicp abreast of the times and maintain the high po sition of honor which has always been accorded them in this country, aud that is ny more anu newer eaocauon. xne average school lifu of the child in this country is but a small fraction over iour years, vmuureu ueiougmg to our, working classes receive very Utile over ( uire years oi stnooi warning.
