THE ROACH FAILURE
just What Secretary Whitney Was Evidently
Aiming At.


Aiming At.
Special to the IndiaLapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. July 23.-Up to this time have
failed to find single intelligent and apparently
honest Democrat who croaks over the business
failure of John Roach, the snip builder. A very
few thin-headed ones appear to believe that
Roach has made o great deal of money off the
government, but none will say that Secretary
Whitney did not start in to traduce the ship
builder. 1t is clear now that Mr. Whitney
wanted to cripple Mr.. Roach as much as posi-
bic. Mr.. Roach's failure, therefore, although
surprise to Whitney, surely causes him no regret.
The end has been accomplished, and accom-
plished more completely than was anticipated
1t appears upon the face of the matter that the
same narrow minded opinion has chung to Whit
ney that is held by large number of people
throughout the country, that any man who is
Republican politician and government con-
tractor is thief. Secretary Whitney seems to
have failed to see how John Roach would con-
tribute to the Republican campaign fund and
not be a thief, while doing work for the govern
ment A man with his eyes set at the
proper distance apart could perceive, if he
was honest, that John Roach has con-
party was in favor of protection and American
industry. and without that protection he could
not protect his shipyards single day, while the
Democratic party, which he fought with MS
means and his ballot. ciamorng to abolish
protection and ruin him financially. Having
failed to override the American idea and tram
pie down the maioritys will, the Democratic
party has accomplished its end, far as John
Roach's ship,building is concerned, by other
means-means which as despicable as I'M
scrupulous politicians could conceive Of.
talked to-day to gentleman who has long
held prominent place in the Navy Department,
and gentleman who has been familiar with the
Secretaries of that department for decade and
a half past He said be had read closely the
great bulk of newspaper comment and poll
ticians' bowls about the preference given to
John Roach by Secretaries Robson and
Chandler. He was familiar, too, with the fig
ures at which Roach had taken government
work, and the manner in which it was all let,
and he had never questioned the honest purpose
of either the representatives of the government or
Mr.. Roach. The work, he said could not have
been done to better advantage to the govern
ment any where else; and if it had gone to En-
glish ship-buiders the ground for criticism would
have been much broader; and then the idea of
patronizing American industries would have
been lost sight of. He thought that the failure
Of Roach was the greatest backset that could
possibly have been given American ship build
ing. If Roach, with his alleged personal favors
from the government, could not make success
of ship building, surely no one else would try it
in this country. Viewed from the common
sense and honest standpoint the failure of John
Roach is very lamentable in every respect.

Little Willie Villas, as Mr.. Cevelands Post

the streets seated in the coupe drawn by a gov
eminent horse and driven by an employee of the
Postofice Department. But this is all. IF YOU
wish to see him in his Office and talk to him
yourself, you have to apply formally for an
audience. A certain hour in a certain day of a
certain week and month is set apart by the
Postmaster general in which you will be per-

Indiana POstofjices--No Money for Leases OF
Third-CIass Offices.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON. July 23.-At the Postofice
Department, today, the Journal correspondent
was informed that there are now 1872 postofiices
in Indiana OF this number there is but one
frstclass Office, located at Indianapolis; and six
teen of the second, located at Charlottesville,
Elkhart, Evansville, Fort Wayne. Goshen,
Lafayette, LaPorte, Logansport, Madison, New
Albany, Peru, Richmond South Bend, Terre
Haute, Valparaiso and Vincennes. Of the others,
sixty nine are third-cass Offices. On the lst
of January last there were 305 money order
offices in Indiana.
false impression prevails among most citi-
zens Of Indiana about the law which went into
effct on the LIST inst regarding leases for third
class postoffices. 1t is true that the law pro-
v!ded that the Postmaster general might use
portion of an appropriation which had been in
creased $40, 900 for the purpose of leasing prem
ises for third class postoffices; but it has been
the natural growth of expenses for which the
appropriation was made has moro than
increased to the amount Of SIC, 600, that
sum being simply attached to the general
appropriation for the leases of first and
second-class postofice buildings. AS the matter
now stands, there is not dollar for leases for
third class Offices and the law might as we'll not
have becn passed, as leases cannot be made for
third class postofices.
