HI NEW CRUISERS.

a. ooSAS's1hy "a kho huN hob ou-
vertlsed for proposals for the four new
steel cruisers authorized by the last
congress. These war vessels while In.
ferior in every respect to the monster
iron clads lately built for Italy, will
surpasu In speed and strength any man.
of-war In our navy. We have several
vessels of greater tonnage dlsplaoe-
ment, notably the flag ship "Tennes.
see and the recently launched mont
tors. But the Tennessee" Is a wood.
en- steamer and the monitors are
little better than floating batteries
The new men-of.war are intended to
combine high speed with capacity for
carrying an srmor of eight inches of
steel. The largest of the new cruisers,
which 1t Is proposed to name the
''Chicago," will be Of. $500 tons dis.
placement, 3l5 feet long and 4s feet
wide, drawing 10 feet of water. 1t Ia
to be constructed with q double
bottom, with two complete sets
Of ms Machinery and twin screws.
The next largest cruisers are to be Of
5000 tons displacement. Proposals
are asked for two men of wal of this
size, 270 feet In length, AZ feet In
breadth aid drawing II feet of water.
Like the $500 ton man of war, these
vessels are to bs built with two bot.
toms, or practically two complete
hulls, within one. The amor will be
of the same thickness as In the larger
vessel. In addition proposals are
asked for a steel dispatch boat, 24O
feet long, of some l 500 tons displace.
ment, and having a speed of 15 knots
an hour.
These three crulsers are to form the
nucleus of our new navy. Our pres.
cut laval 6bIADllsLluleut CUItl5ta VI Ill
army of officers, fifty. seven old hulki
of vessels, 5000 seamen and ten navy
yards. This naval establishment
sluca the war has eaten up $3.50, 900,
600, and we have nothing to show for
1t. 1t Is a notorious fact that such
an iron.clsd as the English "In1axi-
ble," or the French "Amphitre," or
the italian 'Lepanto," would have nc
difficulty In steaming into any Of our
harbors and crushing like eggshells,
with its heavy shots, the paper sides
of our worn out and battered fact.
For this reason there are grounds fol
congratulstion over the fact that we
shall have at least three vessels which
can be depended upon for efficient
service in ordinary emergencies.
Once started on the right track, We
shall ultimately have a good, if g
small, naval establishment, which
will be equal to all the demands likely
to be made upon 1t for years tc
come.

will be attracted to the paved streets,
and at every cross street mud and

THE PARDON QUESTION.

1t was one Of the most excellen.
characteristics of Governor Nsnce's
administration that there was no abuse
Of the pardoning power while he was
the chief executive of Nebraska.
Governor Nance consistently refused
to interfere with the administration
Of justice, or to permit his sympathy
for criminals to give encouragement
to the commission of crime. Before
his advent there had been q great
la1ity In this matter of pardons Be.
tween the governor and the supreme
court 1t was exceedingly difficult to
hang a murderer or to keep him In tho
penitentiary In case he escaped the
extreme penalty of the law. As the
natural result, there was and still Is q
profound dlutrust Of legal methods Of
dealing with crime, and a resort In
several Instances to Judge Lynch as
the quickest and surest tribu.
nal for disposing Of orimi.
malls and . protecting society.
Governor Dawes will do well to pat
tern after Governor Nance In this re-
spect. Just at present he Ia about to
be besieged with a petition for the
pardon of Warren Clough, who was
convicted Of numbering his brother ct
Seward, on May LIST, 1876. The facts
IS brought before the jury were con.
elusive, and on the showing OF the
prosecution, Clough was sentenced to
life imprisonment. 1t Is now claimed
that the deed was committed by Q
hostler named Jack Trent, since de-
ceased, and that before his death he
confessed the crime and exculpsted
Warren Clough from all participation
In the murder. On this ground the
governor Is asked to Issue an unoon
dltional pardon and to set the pris'
oner at liberty after he has served g
little more than four years of his life
sentence.
Governor Dawes ought to move
with extreme caution in the matter.
The confessions of dead men are hard
to prove. Of course, If Clough hat
been unjustly convicted a pardon is q
small repsration for the wrong he has
suff sred. But II he should be unjust
iy liberated there could be no repara'
ton for the wrong done to society
through his release. Too many
criminals have escaped justice In Ne
braska through t~echnicalities of the
law and misplaced sympathy on the
part Of our governors. Their number
should not be Increased.

United States government loses about
$500, 600 a year by smuggling along

does. But If We know anything about
the relative abilities of the Greaser

 The 'tsoiree musicale" ct the residence of Mrs. B. Beardsley Tuesday evening last was an event and the musical element in this town has not been so interested in a long time It was one of the best and most sue cessful musicals that has ever been given in this town and the large assemblage present were treated to rich entertainment. There were about two hundred invitations giv- en out and about one hundred and fifty were present, seventy-ive coming from Bridgeport. The programme which had been arranged was quite lengthy and it was over two hours before it was com pleted and yet the audience was 10th to let the performers leave. The. West side or chestra, six pieces were present. and their fine music both in the concert and Soiree Dan sante'', was greatly enjoyed. The one great feature of the evening was the presence of Madame Pupin, the celebrated pianist of New York Her magnificent handling of the instrument as well as her exquisite touch, was greatly admired, as well as her Imaginable rec itation. Madam Pupin is Mrs. Beardsleys teacher of music and kindly contributed, her services. The madam used an elegant Weber piano from the warerooms of B. Shoninger Co, of New Haven, which had been sent over at her request. The rest of the programme was ably carried out by Miss E. Mosher, Miss Fannie Beers, Miss Peck, Mr. Thomas Tomlinson and MT. Wheeler Hall of Bridgeport, Miss Atwood, Miss Fuller, Miss Stagg, Miss Beardsley, Mrs. Elmer Boards ley and Messrs Judson, Stagg, Beardsley and Judson, in an able manner. Refreshments were served at tha close of the concert, and 'Soiree Dansante" finished the evenings enjoyment which the younger portion of the company seemed to enjoy. Most of the Bridgeporters took the Washington ex- press home which stopped at this station through the courtesy of Superintendent Stevenson. The committee who had this musical in charge were I. E.

If the bill pas sed through freights would be destroyed and local freights would be established. It would bs not only disadvantage to the roads. but it would be disastrous to shippers and freight CTS.
 MT. Perry, of Hartford, favored the major ity report. He said it was time that the pea- pie of the State asserted their sovereign power and give the railroads to understand that they
 have the power to regulate freights. He
 hoped the amendment would not prevail, as
 it would kill the life of the bill.
