William Findley sues Elmer c. Webster to
recover $4,000, exemplary damages, and
81, 700 actual damages. His complaint sets
forth that the defendant, real estate dealer,
by misrepresentation induced him to give q
deed for farm of forty acres in Wright
county, which he owned, and $3.50, for which
he was to receive title to lots II, -, block
%, at Grafton, Oak. These lots were repre-
sented as being worth S1,70O, lying at the
corner of Hill avenue and Fifth street
in Grafton, whereas, it is alleged,
they are only worth 500 and are located on
Stevens avenue. The plaintiff claims further
that he has never received deed of the lots.
The defendant, Webster, in his answer de-
MES that he misrepresented the value of the
lots and says he is willing to give title to
them as soon as the plaintiff shall pay $3.50

JOHN RoAcH,s FAILURE.

The chief cause, undoubtedly, of Mr..
Roach's assignment was the decision of the
Attorney General that the contracts with the
government under which he is building the
steel cruisers are void Mr.. Roach has al
ready expended from $4,000, 600 to S20,0O0,-
600 upon them, and now he finds that they
are liable to be left on his hands. The mar
ket for ironclads is not quick, and there is
great doubt if he would be able to dispose of
of them at all if the government should re-
fuse to take them, as it probably would if
the present Secretary of the Navy should be
in office when they were completed 1t
would have been hazardous in the extreme,
even if itwere feasible, to go on with them,
and Mr.. Roach has undoubtedly done the
wisest thing and the fairest to his creditors
by stopping now and mourning no further
risks, which would involve them as well as
himself.
Mr.. Roach's failure will undoubtedly af-
ford much satisfaction to the freetraders and
to the Democracy in general The former
will point to it as proof that protection does
not protect while the latter will represent
that it is due to the advent of reform adj
ministration which refused him the favors
that they allege he was in the habit of re-
ceiying when the Republicans controlled the
navy department. The malignity with which
Mr. Roach has been pursued for years past,
and especially since the Cleveland admins
tration came into power, shows plainly
enough that the Democracy have been ex-
tremely anxious to break him down. As Mr..
Roach himself says, his work has been dis
credited before it was fairly begun. He has
~ l,I.z I
convicted felon the epithets applied to him
could scarcely have been more severe. The
public has been told day after day that his
only business has been the building and re-
pairing of government ships, when it was per-
fectly well known to the persons who made
these statements that he had built very
large cumber Of ships for private companies,
among them some Of the largest and finest
vessels that carry the American flag. With
out particle of trustworthy evidence it has
been alleged by every Democratic paper in
the land that his contracts with the navy de-
partment were the result of favoritism, and
that he habitually bid less than vessels could
be built for with the understanding that the
balance was to be made up to him in the
form of extras We recall no instance where
private citizen has been so persistently and
cruelty maligned as has Mr.. John Roach
Now that the man is down, and all that was
sought to be effected by these attacks has
been accomplished, it would be supposed
that his assailants would cease their war
fare. Such, however, is not the case. The
attacks upon him since his assignment have
been even more bitter than before. The De-
mocracy have got a victim and they intend to
make the most of him. By and by it may
possibly begin to dawn upon them that their
zeal to break down the largest shipbuilder
in the United States and the man who
has done more than any single citizen of
the country to restore the carrying trade to
American bottoms has been mistaken one.
