FUNNY BUSINESS IN CONTRACTS.

Secretary Whitney has taken THE TRIB-
UNE's advice. He requires contractors VINO
underta Se to furnish the Government with the
new cruisers to guarantee the results in
horse power and speed. The blank contracts
which have been submitted to competing ship
builders contain guarantee clause. But 1T Is
| one patented for the occasion and bears the
stamp of tine Secretary's characteristic in
genuty. The estimated horsepower is cut
down in each instance and system of pre-
NUNS and penalties is devised which will
! render il entirely safe for ship-builder to
guarantee the results.
| Cruiser No. 3, for example. Is to be built
from designs furnished by Sir w. G. Arm
strong, Mitchell g. Co., of England. The plans
for the machinery call fur 1O,75O Indicated
horse power. By the terms of the contract the
maximum hOrse-pOw required to be
developed is 5000, and the sup will not be
rejected unless the horsepower falls below
5000. For every horsepower below 5000
the contractor will be liable to penalty OF
800. But for every horsepower above
5000 he will receive premium of 500.
The contractor is asked tn guarantee results 10
the extent of 1850 hOrse-pow below that
for which the engines were designed. That is
n wide margin and il is increased to 2, $50 by
the impostion of nominal penalties without
involving the rejection of the vessel. But II
the contractor succeeds in developing the
actual horse power for which the engines were
designed, he will receive the handsome bounty
of $l75, 900 over and above the contract price,
Cruiser No. is 10 be built from designs
furnished by the Bureau OF Construction and
of Steam Engineering. The horsepower in
Dictated by the designs is $500 and the
maximum provided for by contract will be
5000. with permission to fall as low as 1000
on payment Of penalties. There is the same
provision as in the case If Cruiser No. for
the payment of a premium on every horse
power developed above the maximum, 30 that
the contractor will receive $50, 1000 extra II he
carries ont the original design. The margin
for this ship is less liberal than for the precious
one. The deduction from the designed power
of the English plans is 1868 per cent. The
deduction from the designed power of the
American plans is .5.SS per cent. That is to
say, Secretary Whitney allows three times as
yreat a deduction from the intended horse

THE CATHOLIC PASTORAL AND MI
GEORGE


The Catholic Church has made vigorous
reply to the large vote for Henry George, for
the pointed language Of the pastoral letter of
Archbishop Corrigan which was read from
Catholic pulpits ON Sunday uslifes the infer
ence that il Was expressly intended to combat
the false ideas which we're SO zealously taught
during the city campaign. In view of those
teachings the following sentences from the
pastoral are peculiarly timely,

away the heresies which were 80 prevalent IN
discussion a few weeks ago. The instruction
will surely help to Danish the mists OF error
from many minds, and it is particularly tin ely
in view of the conspicuous zeal OF some
Catholic clergy in the support of Mr. George.
There are religious congregations not OF that
church to which the same instruction wouiu
be most beneficial.
II is especially perniciOus in this country to
teach hostility to property in land, because the
policy OF the Government under Republican
rule since 1861 hrs been to offer every will
ing and industrious settler farm free OF
charge. The American who is landless. as
rnle, is so because he prefers to be. Any able
bodied man can make his way by his nbOr to
the regions in which free land ~ still open to
the settler, and can earn enough on the way
to pay all the expenses of its acquisition.
There are thousands now enjoying com
parative wealth and ease on hOmesteads
obtained from the Government who went to
their new homes without other capital than
their strength and their industry. Willing
neighbors helped them to make START by loans
TO be repaid after harvest, exchanged Work
with them to tide over the time of difficulty,
and heartily welcomed their success. The man
who has refused to accept the free farm which
the Nation offers, as rule, has preferred the
life of cities an towns, or the chances of life
with less labor and privation. or has chasen not
tn separate himself for a time from his family
Not one can say will truth that the Govern
ment of this country has favored any monopoly
in land, or deprived him Of any right or
privilege winch nature gave him.
1t is just to remember, also, that this benef-
icent homestead policy had been advocated for
years by Republicans, and opposed, denounced
and defeated by Democrats. 1t was passed by
a Republican House and defeated iE Demo-
cratic Senate. before the Civil War. TIE
Democrat of to-day who appeals to the pref
udces of the landless cannot honestly hide
the fact that the Republican patty has for
twenty i've years offered FREQ homes for all,
and that its policy in that respect was defeated
by the Democratic party as long as it retained
power in either branch of Congress.
