THE last and largest of the war vessels
built by John Roach the Chicago, was sue
cessfully launched on Saturday at the great
ship yards at Chester. The government "fn-
ished' the vessel-that is, holystoned the
deck and oiled the spanker- boom-so it is rea-
sonable to expect that it will be accepted Al
ready it has been pronounced fine war -ship
and it is predicted that it will perform all that
could reasonably be asked. John Roach was
one of the spectators. just what his feelings
were would be hard to say. It is reported that
tears came into his eyes as he watched the
stately mass glide into the rising tide and
majestically float away. He doubtless reflect
ed on how he had been hunted to bankruptcy
by an unfriendly official, who now seeks to APP
propriate the honor of building this fine YES
sci. Republics may not be ungrateful, but
individuals and political parties are, and few
have any charity for an opponent even when
he is down. The driving of John Roach into
bankruptcy was a contemplate, unpatriotic,
partisan trick 1t ought to hurt it's perpet1a-
tors more than it's victim

The very knowing newspapers that a few
days ago protested to see the hand Of Mr..
Blaine in the proposed election of General
Logan to the presidency of the Senate and
moralized solemnly over the evils of cone
man-power," are the ones which now claim to
have discovered that Logan is unfriendly to
Blaine. To such organs the idea that man
who has retired from public life may spend
his time in attending strictly to his own bust
ness, or that political move may be made
from honorable promptings and open reasons,
is beyond comprehension

LOUISVILLE is happy over the prospect of a

come apparent to educated people that 'salva-
ton" worth having can be found anywhere,
except, perhaps, Louisville, and without the
interposition of itinerant mountebanks and

religion to so act as to carry the impression
that one man can 'bring down a blessing any

claims to have proved, by remeasurements of
certain sections Of the road, that it has over
paid the contractors 81, 100000. If the claim
is correct it is the first time on record where
railway company has paid out good money
without value received. 1t is hardly worth
while, however, to make such fuss as the
Canadian managers are doing over the attempt
to recover the money when they can so easily
make up the deficit in few days off of local

THE New York Posts editorial on Logan s
nomination bears evidence of having been
prepared in advance. So much heavy brain
work, however, to say nothing of type-setting,
could not be allowed to go to waste on account

their preconceiyed ideas by declining the
honor, and thus took the point out Of the

Mr.. CLEVELAND has been looked upon as
rather the reverse of a religious man, but if
Gen. Clinton B. Fiske is to be believed, great
injustice has been done to a real NICE pious
President. The General called at the White
House to present the cause of the Indian.
and, as he narrates the story, the Presidents
eyes filled with tears in the course Of the in
terview, and he remarked, with JUNCTION, that

'fhere is nothing to uplift race like the gos-
pei of Christ" He also added, according to
Fiske: II would rather make record by
wise administration of Indian affairs, though
I should fail in all else, than to fail there and
succeed in all else" Holding these excellent
sentiments, the President can scarcely do 9th
erwise than to recall General Crook, and de-
tail missionary in his place. Indian lovers
will anxiously scan the message tomorrow for
some recommendation Of this nature.
