and Is entirely incompatible with the re.
quirements Of modern war ship. They
have fashioned their steam machinery after
the style Of their pleasure carriages, which
are almost as heavy as our brick carts. Any
one acquainted with English machinery
will bear testimony TO the heavy-handed
manner In which their designers deal out
weights; from the mechanism OF sewing
machine up TO the motive power Of an ar
NOR clad the same ponderosity Is apparent,
while Americans are noted for the lightness,
elegance, efficiency, and strength Of their
mechanical designs.
.Ihe active competition Of rival English
private builders has, however, produced the
existing first-class torpedo boat, with steam
machinery, weighing only 57.7 pounds per
horse power, but even that extremely light
weight has been exceeded by the llghtost
American engines Of thirty-nine pounds
per horse power.
"If the Democratic Secretary OF the Navy
would adopt the plan Of placing contracts
with private builders OF good repute, upon
their own designs for the hulls, engines,
and armor projection Of vessels complete,
it would no doubt result in the construc-
ton Of very successful vessels, far superior
to any now in existence In any OF the navles

JUSTICE TO CITIZENS.
A Bill to Grant Claimants tho Right
to Sue the Government.


The report submitted by Representa-
tive Tucker from the judiciary commit
tee, recommending the passage of a bill
to grant claimants the right to sue the
government, makes an explanation Of the
bill prepared by the committee, which is
substantially as follows:
Thejurisdlction of the court of claims Is OK.
tended SO as TO include claims founded upon
the constitution OF the United States, such as
for just compensation for property taken for
public use; damages liquidated or unliquidated;
all claims for which the party would be Gu
titled to redress against the United States In a
court OF law, equity or admiralty, ifthe United
States were suable, and all set.ofiS, counter.
claims, claims for damages, whether liqul-
sOeveT on the part of the United States, The
Limitation of all claims under the act, the re-
port says, is six years. thus excluding all war
court Of claims Is given to the district ana cir.
cult court of the United States In cases where
the money value does not exceed $4,000.
Right OF appeal to the supreme Court is
granted In all cases TO both parties. Interest
shall be computed at the rate of 4 per cent
Claims of aliens under treaty or international
may law bo referred by the State Department,
court of claims. With the consent OF the
claimants, the heads of departments may re-
fer any claim now pending to the
court of claims. The court OF claims may de.
der the Rowman act.
The report says the act does not include
cases Of captured and abandoned property,
cotton claims, or war claims, the committee
desiring to leave legislation, II necessary,
on these points to another bill. AS to the
adyisability of such law being passed, the
report says:
The large mass of business now before Con-
grcss growing out of private claims consumes
It's time year after year in committee work,
rendered useless by the lack of time TO con-
slider and pass upOnI them. Just claims are
painfully deferred without interest, aud the
credit Of the government, so strictly upheld
upon its bonded debt, Is Justly censurable in
respect TO Its honest private claims.

mediate vicinity OF the listener at the re-

Upon moving the paper transversely across
the path Of the stylus, and at the same time

the paper the distance between the wave

next article, wherein we shall take up tho

operation, based upon the theory advanced
by Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, which is
now pretty generally accepted among cleo
triclans, although there is considerable
doubt OF the correctness Of this theory In
the minds OF some scientific men whose
judgment is certainly worthy OF note. We
shall endeavor TO explain the mode OF
operation In the simplest possible manner,

And poise the sled upon its brow;
In wonder lost the prince stands still

Some Remarka About His Colleagues.

Representative Hin, OF ohio, Makes
Some Remarks About His Colleagues.
Hon. W. D. Hill, representative from
the sixth district OF Ohio, addressed the
Virginia Democratic Association last night
He was proud TO say that he was Vir-
ginian by birth; the first campaign which
he could remember was In lS4l-the great
contest between Clay and Polk. In that
day campaigns were conducted differently
than now, and entirely different from any
he had ever seen In Ohio. Money was not
known In politics then, for II one had
offered man money for his vote he would
as certainly have knocked the brlber down
as he had the ability to do II. There are
few men yet In Congress OF the old style,
one OF whom he was proud TO say was Hon.
John II. Tucker.
In the old days, he said, mllllonaires were
unknown, but now they were everywhere.
Over In his little town of Springfield there
were many, they having made money dur
ing the war by making "shoddyh cloth for
the army, but the speaker did not know
what that was.
Abraham Lincoln was as good n man as
ever lived, pure and honest, but he was
surrounded by many who were corrupt,
and that during chat time great corruptions
had crept into the affairs OF the govern
ment, but as Virginia politics were pure,
she ought to lead In the movement for
pure and honest government He did
not know what this Congress would do
with the tariff; he thought, however, that
they would do nothing. He was IN favor
Of reducing the tariff on sugar, even IL 1t
did injure some OF the millionaire sugar.
planters Of Louisiana. Congress will
dodge the issue, but the newspapers will
discuss the question, and as the people
read for themselves, In the end the subject
must be acted on. The words 'M. c."
pretiXed to the name Of congressman ought
to be stricken of and the words &c. K."
substituted, as all the members Of Congress
are little else than "claim agents.n
Politicians now are only claim agents,
and he seldom received a letter on any sub
| iect Of public interest; all his letters re-
lated to war or pension claims; 1t was, in
his opinion, time that this robbery of the
treasury should cease and the government
administered according to the principles of
the constitution. He was proud OF his
adopted state, Ohio, even II she was under
| cloud at this time. All the great leaders
| of the Democracy OF Ohio were Virginians
by birth. Thurman, Allen, Pendleton, Val.
landigham, and others. Concluding, he
remarked that the Democratic party is In
| power-at least, he supposed 1t is-and It
| will live In this country as long as there Is
free ballot In the land.

One-SIded Reform.

The civil service commission, as now con-

himself made the choice. The fact is

A DESERVING MAN.

We see by our exchanges that c. +.
Burlington, the veteran newspaper man OF
Cherryvale, is candidate for representative
of the Thirty district. We hope he
will be nominated and that the voters of
that district will see to it that he goes IN
with a rousing majority, for he has done
noble newspaper work for Kansas, not
only as a faithful correspondent for eastern
papers. but in running excellent papers in
the state He has probably said as many
good things for Kansas during the last nine
or ten wears as any writer within its boIders,
and we know he has sent more papers free
of charge into eastern states than almost
any newspaper man.
Ia 1873 when running what was known
as the pioneer Newspaper Chain, he for
months sent 400 copies of his paper each
week, at his own expense, to parties IN the
east. and each issue of the paper was filled
with telling articles relative to the advant
aces offered settlers in Kansas. He Is a
worker and has warm friends in the leading
cities Of the state who will be proud OF the
honor bestowed upon him should he be
sent to the legislature, and they will help
him while there, too.

DAVIS BLUE BLOOD.
m the Atchison Champion

From the Atchson Champion.
There has never been much said of the
bovhood of jefferson Davis. 1t has been
stated of course. that he was born in Ken
tucky. but his life from that event till he
entered West Point. has scarcely been men
toned. A writer in the Louisville Courier
Journal says that Jefferson Davis father
was Georgian. who removed to Christian
county, Kentucky where jeff. Davis was
born. thence to Attakapas, louisiana, and
thence to Wilkinson county, Mississippi,
when jeff was about ) pears old. His edu-
cational advantages were received at what
was called an academy, at Woodvllle,
Mississippi. thence he went to Transylva
MIA university. Kentucky, and thence to
West Point. While the Davis family seem
to have been possessed of some property
and political influence, there seems to be nc
reason to believe that their blood was con
sidered especially "tlue."
