Professor .Thurston, in the June
Forum, says of the limit in speed OF
ocean travel that steamship 500
feet long. of3s. 900 tons measurement,
and engines OF 100000 horse power,
might attain a speed Of about forty
eight miles an hour, and cross the At
lantic in three days and half. It's
engines, with fuel, would weigh 5000
tons, its hull and appurtenances 12,-
600, leaving 5000 tons capacity for
passengers and freight. The cost OF a
voyage would be about $50, 900, and
this wound be met by 500 passengers
at $3.50 each. Tie mails and high
class freight might yield sufficient rev.
enue to pay a profit on the invest
ment. The construction of Pt~~.--
ship of such dimensions and ca
ties be thinks possible, and
will be'built whenever there is
srcial demand for it.

Catholic Doctrine of Capital and Labor.

The pastoral letter of the archbishops
and the bishops of the Catholic provinces,
Of Milwaukee, assembled in the first pro-
vincial council, to the laity Of their charge
has been made public. On the subject Of cap
ital and labor the letter says:
We have indeed n sacred duty to fulfill
toward our fellow citizens. Mere human
wisdom wiz ever prove, unable to solve
permanently and satisfactorily the social
problems which on all sides are crowding
in upon us. The church oil Cod alone with
unerring, because divinely assisted, judg-
ment can guide society through the laby.
rinths of passion and selfishness into the
serene regions Of justice and charity. The
question of capital and labor is the oil
difference emphasized in the Gospel be-
tween the rich and the poor. WOE to the
rich and blessed are the poor" are max.
inns established by the divine judge.
When capitalists follow the heather rule
to bty labor in the cheapest market, God
is not with them; and when labnrcrs inn
agine that all men should have an equal
share in the comforts and enioyments OF
this earthly life, Divine providence has
ruled otherwise. Industry and sObirety
have always proved more profitable to hui
man nature and to society than wealth
and extravaganza. To commit injustice is
always an evil; tC suffer it may he turned
into a blessing. Retaliation is never allow
ed, but the church has during the middle
ages united the workinguen into guilds,
and the misery which they endure now was
unknown before the sixteenth century.

Paris advices state that the Radicals are
displaying the utmost rancor over the qucs
ton OF the expulsion OF the princes. The
Due de Rocheioucauld during debate on the
measure made an earnest appeal To the
honor and humanity of the country. Here
called the significant fact that during the
Revolution citizens were menaced with con-
fiscation of their property if they left
France and beheaded il they remained. At
this point Deputy Michelin interrupted
and excitedly shouted: "Thcy did not cut
off enough heads in 1893" This caused
tumult in the chamber and Michefin's re-
mark, though excluded from the official
report OF the proceedings is widely re-
ported and commented NJ on throughout
the country. Fashionable shopkeepers
are much damaged by the expulsion move
ment, as its success means n yeritablc dis
aster to trade with the monarchists and
liberal disbursers OF money in their pur-
suit OF social pleasures. The Counte de
Paris, doubtless in anticipation Of the in
oyitable, has purchased chateau twenty
miles from Geneva on Lake Leman.

The President Returns from His Bridal


Trip.
Shortly before l p. M. the president,
Mrs. Cleveland and the other members OF
the party boarded the special train at

journey to Washington. A reception had
been arranged at Piedmont, w. Va, and q

Spouse to the cheering of fully l ,000pcople,
President Cleveland and his vile made their

and Mrs. Cleveland bowed. At keyser, w.
Va, another large crowd was in attendance,
aud more bowling and smiling was done by
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland. At Cumberland,
Nd, the train ran slowly through the city,
and the entire population seemed to have
turned'out to cheer the president and Mrs.
Cleveland, both of whom stood on the plat
form Of their car. Hon. Stephen b. Elkins
and Senator Davis accompanied
the party as far as Piedmont.
Mr.. Elkins was introduced to
the president by Mr.. Davis. The
interview was short and agreeable, and

the last campaign. Dinner was served at
o'clock in the private dining room OF the
White House, and Grover Cleveland for
the first time in his life looked across his
own table at his wife. There were also
present Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland,
Mrs. Hoyt, the Rev William Cleveland,

Mr.. rowderly on the Late Convention.

In an interview on the result OF the Cleve-
land convention, Grand Master Workman
Puwderly stated that everything he asked
WAS granted. Said he: We had no law to
limit Observation-Disclosures use of the boycott,
the entering into OF ill-advised strikes.
Now we have given to the executive COM
mittee or board thepower TO intervene and
ascertain the cause and effect OF these
moves before we sanction them. We re-
serve the power to strike and boycott, be-
cause instances may arise when both are
Imperative. but they are last resorts and
are subjects to limitations. There was no
necessity OF such strikes as the late out
break in the Southwest. That was with
out the consent OF the executive board, but
there was no legislation to enable it to
act. Under the new law we appoint
six assistants TO the executive board.
They are iudiciously distributed and
as soon as trouble is reported
the board or myself telegraphs the
man nearest it to investigate aud report
at once. SO far as / can discover any
thing in the home club, it is simply n little
circle OF men in the order who ara more in
innate with one another than with other
members. These men claim that their OBJ
ject is to build home for each Of the mem
bers, aud they have between So, 900 and
"a 900 in their treasury.
Mr.. Powdcrly expressed himself as OPP
posed TO federal interference in arbitration
beyond passing resolution iavoring it.

es the sincere thanks OF himself and
Mrs. Cleveland for the magnificent
wedding gift received from the citi-
zens of Charleston. He says:
Ihave asked the privilege of thus
communicating our joint acknowl-
edgement of this present because
this delicate and thoughtful attention
to my wife has naturally given rise
to grateful emotions, and because it
affords me an opportunity to express
my appreciation OF the kind words
with which the donors refer to myself
and my performance of public duty.
You and your associates who have
united in the letter accompanying
your gift can hardly realize the com
fort derive from the assurance there
in contained OF confidence and es-
TEEN.
The letter and the gift take their
places in my new household, and for
all time will serve as reminders, not
only Of the happiest incident OF my
life as a citizen, but Of the further fact
that in my official character the hum
BILE efforts l have made to assure good
government to the people and com
plete reconciliation between all Sec
tions of the land are considerably
and pleasantly recognized by my fel-
low-countrymen.
The present consisted OF massive
silver vase, accompanied by a letter tc
Mrs. Cleveland, saying that it was in
tended as token OF the high esteem
in which President Cleveland wai
held in Charleston by reason of hi
ability, his true manliness and hi
constant fidelity to his obligations
"under the Constitution and laws oI

. Sad PoIi1icnl Depresslon.


From New York World
The Tennessee Republican plat
form, adopted on Wednesday, for
want of something to say falls back
upon the fiat, stale and improbable
practice Of charging the Democratic
party with the present depressed con-
dition Of business and the miseries OF
the poor. Just what the Democratic
party has done to bring this sorrowful
state OF affairs about the platform does
not explain, though we may infer
from what follows that the failure to
pass the Blair Educational Bill has
something to do with it. Possibly the
objection which Democrats have man
Tested towards the distribution Of
what remains Of the public domain
among Spectators and the check they
have given to corporation abuses are
the causes.
1t cannot be that the impairment Of
the National credit through the trans
fer of the Executive branch Of the
Government into Democratic hands,
which was 50 confidently predicted
during the Presidential campaign, is
the reason, for there has been no such
Impairment, On the contrary the
the price of Government securities
has steadily appreciated since then.
The logic OF the charge is as follows :
There lisa business depression and
the Democratic party elected the last
President, therefore the Democratic
party is responsible for the depression.
The same course of. reasoning
proves thatthe Democratic party is
responsible for the taking off of King
Ludwig, the present remarkable erup-
of Mount Etna and The Third Ave
llue SJEAk6. F#fN
But in these days it is rare that the
New York Sun does notspring to the
front TO- help the Republicans when
they are in an emergency. The Ten
nessee platform confines itself to a
bold misstatement, but the San comes
forward with q partial bill Of particu,
lars. It admits that the Democratic
| party is responsible for the continued
business depression and says: "a
large portion of Mr.. Cleveland's term
of Office has already passed away and
there is no revival of business as yet
nor any clear prospect thereof" And
all this because the Administration
does not favor deprecated currency
and labor to enable debts to be paid
at about seyenty-fve cents on the dol
lar II would be a great assistance tC
Republican platform makers to Sc
cure the services Of walking delegates
from the San Office.

tering the room the heads and shoul-
ders OF nine young ladies were visible
above a screen extending the length OF
the room. All the young ladies wore
masks and from their necks hung sus-
pended cord on which was printed
musical note. 1t did not take the
audience long to discover that the
"humaniphone" was simply a human
piano. 1t was played by Miss Nellie
Schoyer. With a wand she walked
back and forth and each young lady
uttered a different note as she touched
them with wand. In this move
manner Miss Schoyer played "Hom
Sweet Home," Yankee Doodle" and
number of pleasing melodies.
