FAILURE OF John ROACH.

1t is with real pain and deep sorrow
that The REPUBLICAN announces this
morning the failure and assignment of
the greatest of American shipbuilders,
John Roach.
There is no other business man in the
United States more deserving than he of
respect and sympathy in this time of
trouble. The poor Irish lad, nursed in
penury and early Injured to hard labor,
who had the capacity, as he grew in years,
to achieve what John Roach has accom-
plished, is man to be respected by all
who are not incapable of appreciating
the best elements of manly character.
There is no friend of honest labor, no
advocate of the rights and interests of
wage workers, no admirer of those ster.
ling qualit es by which hard fortune is
conquered and success attained in spite
of difficulties, who will not share the re
greet which TIE REPUBLICAN, feels in con-
templating this disaster; and we know
full we'll that the American people will
place the responsibility of it upon this
administration.
Although we are now happily enjoying
n time of general peace, the commercial
nations of the world are spending vast
sums of money in experiments upon
ships, armor-plates, guns, torpedoes, and
other agencies used either as coast de-
fences or in actual war. All this at last
goes into the hands of honest labor,
whether the experiments are successful
or not, for the whole creation is labor.
What would the English people
have thought of Mr.. Gladstone if his
government had appointed a board to
plan and contract for our ships of
war, to be inspected under their direction
rs the work progressed, and then repu-
diate the contract and the work on the
pretense that the first ship did not meet
the expectations, and have this outrage
sanctioned by the highest law officer of
the government
No nation on the globe, worthy of re-
spect in the family of nations, would
permit such wrong to be even contem-
plnted. And we make an appeal to the
highest executive authority, the Presi.
dent of the United States, to personally
review the course of his Cabinet officers
toward Mr.. Roach, and do what may be
done to relieve the nation from this
reproach.

SECRE AIRY MANNINGS CIRCULAR.
The circular letter addressed by Sec
retary Manning to manufacturers
throughout the United States is prac.
tical and economical method of obtain
ing the basis of information for Con-
gress, which that body can have verified
by the testimony of experts before its
committees.
In exact accord with this circular was
the letter of Secretary Bayard to Ameri-
can manufacturers, requesting them to
aid the Department of State in formu.
lating proper questions to be submitted
to American consuls for investigation
and report.
When the information which these cir.
culars call for is obtained, properly
classified, edited, and printed, the Amer
lean Congress, for the first time in the
hihloiy VI tic government, Will uhNt
knowledge of the cost of domestic and
foreign production. This in intelligent
detail will email lie members of Con-
gress, who have the ability and industry
to investigate and apply it in practical
way, to reform the tariff. 1t will en-
able Congress to not only give revenue
to the government, but to afford such
well-considered protection to American
labor and capital rs will give stability
to manufactures for a long term of
years.
The letter also seeks for information
as to the best plan of levying duties to
prevent frauds on the government.
Some contend that specific duties are
best adapted to this end. The legis-
lation of the past has employed both
the specific and the ad valorem systems.
Secretary Manning should receive the
uid of the business men and the press OF
the country, irrespective of party, in the
effort to properly solve the problem. Its
solution will shape in the future the
fiscal legislation of the nation.

MEXICAN PRESS EXCURSION

In 1879, during the first administration
OF President Diaz, an excursion party of
about sixty editors, merchants, and man
ufacturers from st. Louis, Chicago, New
York, and other parts of the United
States, visited the City of Mexico.
Among the party were representatives of
the New York Herald, New York Tribune,
Frank Leslie'S Illustrated Weekly, Chicago
Inter ocean, Chicago Times, Cincinnati
Gazette, ST. Louis Post Dispatch, Mil.
waukee See6Ote, Galveston Ne,oS, and
other journals,
On their arrival at the Mexican capital
they were taken from the Hotel Iturbide,
in carriages furnished by the govern
ment, to the national palace, where they
were most cordially received by Gen.
Diaz, who delivered qnite an extended
address of welcome. Subsequently, very
impressive ceremonies were held in the
court Of Mineria, attended by the presi-
dent and cabinet, and delegations from
National Republican., 1885-07-20

several of the Mexican states. These
we're in honor Of the opening of tempo
rary exhibition Of the samples Of pro.
ducts and manufactures taken there by
the excursionists So great WAS the in
terest felt by the people that guard
of troops was stationed in front of the
hall TO keep back the crowd.
During their stay the visitors were es-
corted to the many places of interest in
and about the city and valley. They
were right royalty entertained during
their entire visit and on their departure,
were honored with magnificent state
ball attended by over 1000 officials and
prominent citizens.
This excursion was the beginning of q
new era of good will between the two adj
joining sister republics, and did much to
stimulate more intimate commercial and
socinl relations.
Now the case is reversed, and an ex-
'cursion of Mexican editors is about to
visit our national capital. They should
be received with the greatest hospitality,
and neither pains nor expense should be
spared to make their visit pleasant one.
We are glad to note that the necessary
preliminary steps have been taken in this
direction, and we trust the joint meeting
of the local press, correspondents resid-
ing here, and business men, to be held at
Wizards at 8 o'clock tonight, will be
fully attended, that the subscriptions
may be completed and the proper com.
mittees appointed.

Ma. CRAMP, the well-known ship.
builder. thinks there is hardly one sin
gle successful vessel among all the great
ships of war now afoat. The Italians
have two of the greatest and latest in
the world. 1t is generally believed that
they are failures. The French have two
or three, and they also complain that
they have built these vessels 30 big that
they cannot manage them in navigation.
They have bestowed so much attention
to their armaments and their armor that
they have overlooked the points about
handling them easily" Referring to the
popular demand in the United States for
the construction of very large war ships,
Mr.. Cranip says: We would do far bet
ter to build some ships of moderate size
aud draught which we could at any rate
sail, which could get out of the way or
could make speed and also use their arm.
ament It's the oplnion of Mr.. Cramp
that there are but four men in the world
who are capable of designing such ships
rs he suggests-two of the four are
Englshmen and not one of them is an
american. We have only to say of this
that no nation is safe that cannot make.
arm. man, and fight its own ships. If
we are SO badly off in this respect as Mr..
Cramp thinks, let us go on trying till we
succeed. We have expended money
enough on the personnel of our navy
ON our enormously redundant outfit Of
oficers-to have some knowledge of
naval affairs including shipbuilding in
that arm of the public service.

THE NEW COMMISSIONER.

The President has appointed Mr.. Will
liam b. Webb commissioner of the Dis
trict of Columbia to succeed Gen. West,
whose time expired last week.
When il was ascertained that the Pres
ident would continue the policy adopted
by Republican administrations and con-
templated by Congress, as the debates
will show of having both political par-
ties represented in the board of commits
sioners, the Republicans of the District
presented number of names from among
which, after a careful consideration of
them, the President has selected Mr..
Webb.
There seems to be no question of Mr..
Webbs entire fitness for the Office, and
it is believed that he will enter upon its
duties with the approval of all citizens
who desire an able and honest admins
tration of the Districts affairs.
The President, in conversation regard
ing this position, stated that he desired
to appoint gentleman fully qualified
who would give his time TO the perform
ance of its duties, and who had q proper
comprehension of the future greatness
of the national capital. Such man, it
is believed, has been found in Mr.. Webb
