The wise policy, which dates back to
Secretary Whitney's day, of establish
ing armor making plants in this coun
try has now been vindicated, not only
by obtaining for our ships the best ar
mor in the world, but by the calls made
for supplying other countries. Russia,
it appears, has added to her former or
der for Rethlehem armor a new nl
larger call for both Bethlehem and Car
negie plates for two of her new warships.
Japan may follow Russia, and thus
there are foreign as well as home
triumphs in store.
The passase of the financial bill in
the house cn Saturday, says the Phihw
delphia That, by a vote of 170 yeas to
136 nays shows that Speaker Reed's po
litical lines are already broken, and it is
doubtless but the leginning of Republi
can disintegration in the house that is
likely to make the Democratic demor
alization in the last congress compara
tively respectable.
The bond bill forced through the
house by Speaker Reed, is purely a po
litical invention, conceived primarily to
aid Speaker Reed's nomination for the
presidency and next to save the party.
It was well known to every Republican
leader in the house that the bond bill
could not pass the senate; that if passed
by the senate it could not be approved
by the President, yet it was forced
through under whip and spur; but 47
Republicaus had the courage to declare
their inpependence and vote with VS2
Demccr-its and the Populists squarely
against the measure
Speaker Reed and his fellow leaders
had what might be deemed official notice
from the secretary of the treasury that
the bill they passed was inadequate to
meet the necessities of the government,
and its errors were pointed out with dis
tinctness. Had statesmanship instead
of politics ruled the speaker and the
majority party of the hou?e, there
would have been some attempt to modi
fy the bill to enable the government to
maintain public and private credit with
out resorting to another bond issue that
must cost the e ple millions of money
solely for want of a distinct expression
for payment in the only money accepted
by the civilized world and which this
government will ever use iu discharging
its obligations. The bill as adopted by
the house was passed with the knowl
edge of the leaders that it was purely a
partisan expression, and its passage
forced in the face of direct information
Al A 1 .1
iiiai maxes me measure valueless even
if enacted by congress and approved by
the president.
lhe fact that Speaker Reed's forces
have been broken into fragments at the
very threshold of the session clearly in
dicates that the different elements of the
Republican party will play politics rather
than statesmanship during the present
session, regardless of the interests of the
nation; and it is not improbable that be
fore this session shall have closed the
Republican majority of the house will be
in little more tavor with the notion than
was the Democratic majority of the last
congress at the close of its first session.
Every attribute of statesmanship seems
to have been subordinated to mere pol
itics, and that is likely to teach the na
tion, as did the last congress, that the
party in power is incompetent to rule
the greatest republic of the world.
Washington l.etlrr.
The Democrats of the house and sen
ate will be unanimous in opposing the
tariff sc heme Speaker Reed is thrusting
niton the country on the gauzy pretense
of increasing the revenues. And there
is an otficial at "the other end of the
avenue" who, not having had the feli
city of signing a tariff bill to his liking,
will undoubtedly take great pleasure in
vetoing one that is so objectionable in
every sense. We doubt, however, if the
house popgun bill will get through the
senate. The same tight the Republicans
tiiaJe against the Wilson bill and will be
strictly in order. There has been no de
mand from any quarter, except from
the Ohio shepherds, for this new edition
of McKinleysim. and it is a gratuitous
and uncalled for reopening of the tariff
debate when the business and industries
of the country are demanding that mat
ters shall remain at rest.
The Hellespont, or the strait of the
Dardanelles, which has been the scene
of so many historical contlicts, is just
now the center of interest in the Turkish
complications. The strait is a narrow
channel connecting the Aegean with the
sea of Marmora. It is entirely within
Turkish territory, separating Turkey in
Karope from Turkey in Asia. It is
about 4.3 miles in length and is from
f-00 feet to 4i miles in width. At one
time the passage at the narrowest point
was guarded by chains. At the en
trance are two castles or forts which
were regarded as quite formidable in the
old time, but which amount to nothing
as defenses against modern warships.
At the narrow point in the channel are
two other forts, which it ia supposed
would make a fair defense.
There are in the strait modern gunboat-,
and torpedo boats have been
placed in the channel by the engineers
in i ue service of the Turkish
merit.
The Republicans now have control
of both branches of the national legis
lature. They secured control of the sen
ate by an alliance with the populist
members of that body and from this
time forth will have things their own
way so far as legislation is concerned.
The Altoona Tribune, whose Rennbli-
j
canism cannot be questioned thinks,
however, that the dose is too strong to
be swallowed without a murmer. The
Tribune on Wednesday says: The re
cent alliance of the Republicans in the
United States senate with the populists
is a reproach to the party and a disgrace
to the nation. There are honorable
men and true among the senators, but
they are not very numerous and seem to
have been unanimously absent when the
reorganization of the senate was effected
on Monday. This was done by surren
dering the control of the finance com
mittee into the hands of the free silver
people and permitting the populist sen
ators to ren.am undisturbed upon the
several committees. In consideration
of the practical declaration by the Re
publican senators in favor of a debased
and a dishonest dollar, the Populists re
frained from voting and the change in
the organization was effected. An alli
ance wun populists is not to the credit
of the men who consummated it and the
federal senate is, at present, a nuisance
and a fraud.

The most stirring utterance on pros
pective war yet heard is by Mr. Waiter
son, of Kentucky:
"Could we hold our own against Eng
land and her possible allies? Ours is a
land of veterans. Reunited, the men
who fought with equal valor for North
and South would march under one flag
as ralorously as when they answered the
bugle call of a Grant or a Ie, a Mor
gan or a Custer. War is a calamity.
It may Je a necessity. When you deal
with bullies you must meet them on
VU"""'JU srounu. it is the manifest
destiny of the United States to rule this
entire continent. If Lord Salisbury
thirds we are unequal to any combina
tirh be can put into the field, let him
'put an army into the disputed Venez
uelan territory.
,. "If we do not stand by the Monroe
doctrine, we shall not rtand by nothing.
If we do not stand by a neighboring rv
public, badgered by the most unscroup-
ijer uristenuom, then
snail deserve all the humiliation
pdium we shall get."
Nobody expects, says the New York
Hrrald, that the bond bill rushed through
the house by the Republicans last week
win pass the senate, and that even if it
should, it would afford the financial res
lief of which the treasury stands
need.
This failure on the part of congress to
come to the aid of the government will
leave the president and secretary of the
Treasury no other recourse than to
make another bond issue under the ex
isting law, with its costly disadvantage
to the nation.
The section of the bill providing for a
limited popular loan to raise revenue
when revenue may be needed is eood as
far as it goes. But the house has missed
an exceptional opportunity to send to
the senate a thoroughgoing popular
loan bill that would meet the pending
emergency by affording the treasury the
financial relief it needs, and at the
same time giving the people of the
country the benefit of taking the bonds
The more a popular loan is considered
the more its advantages both to the gov
ernment and the people must be appre
ciated. That it wili come in time we
have no sort of doubt. The sooner con
gress provides for it the better it will be
for the country.

Speaker Reed's muzzle? are in prime

in three per cent. ;,-year trea.-ury certiti
cates, or so much there . f a- lhe secre
tary of the treasury may need from time
to time. He muzzled the objecting Re
publicans who wanted the bills submitted
to a caucus before being reported to the
house, aud lastly he muzled the house
and had his bills passed, notwithsiand
ing that the Democrats did all the pro
testing they could under the Ii ed rules,
against the railroading of such import
ant legislation through the bouse with
out debate. When cue of his own party
went to Mr. Reed and asked that a
reasonable time be allowed fur dermic on
the bills lefire they were passed, Mr.
Reed-dismissed him by saying sharply :
"The house isn't a debating society."
In fact for all practical purposes there is
no house. Its powers have all been
i usurped by Mr. Reed and its only im-
portaut duties are to obey his orders.
But there are neither Reed rules nor
methods in the senate, to which these
bills have now gone, aud the country
may count upon their being thoroughly
debated liefcre they are acted upon. It
is doubtful whether either of them can
pass the seuate at all, and certain neither
can get through without beiug material
ly amenried.

that the failure to reach the required

merely followed the government plans
in tne construe iou of the vessel. I
would have set a precedent which might
make trouble iu the future to accept the
vessel after its failure to make the speed
named in the contract, so it w.is deemed
best to refuse to accept. B it the ad
ministration s influence will be used to
get the joint resolution authorizing the
president to accept the Katahdin, which
has already been introduced, adopted by
congress, so there is little doubt that the
Katahdin will soon be a part of Uncle

Shot by His Hog.
Pawtucket, R I., Dec. 2!) Louis
Iezotte was shot by his own dog while
squirrel hunting in the woods near Re
hoboth, Mass., this afternoon. He had
a double barrelled gun with him, and
sighting a squirrel high up in an oak,
Pezotte let go one barrel, badly wound
ing the siiirrel. Standing the gun
against the tree, Ixzotte began to climb
to secure his quarry.
The dog, which from the time of the
discharge of the gun had been running
excitedly around the tree, began to jump
against the trunk as if tryiug to follow
his master. His paw 6truck the trigger
of the loudVd barrel, sending a charge of
shot up past Eezotte's side and lodging
in the muscles of the right arm near the
shoulder. Lezotte fell, but managed to
make his way to a doctor in Reholoth,
who sent for an ambulance to take the
wounded m ui to the Rhode Island hos
pital. There it was said that the arm
would probably have to be amputated.

a careful investigation into the tax rate
and finds that it varies on the actual
value from 6.46 mills as a minimum to
13,33 as a maximum. He can give but
one explanation for this. The assess

the the taxes paid on them amounts
to 1 1,259,S47,17.
