A Fast War Ship.

The Metal Worker appears to have ex-
subject. At any rate we wish it under
stood that that journal is responsible
for it.
One of the fastest war ships of the
world is undoubtedly the torpedo aviso
Grief, OF the German navy, which on her
recent voyage from Kiel to Wilhelms-
haven, attained a speed of % knots an
hour. The Grief was launched in 1886,
and was built of steel, at the Germania
Yard at Kiel, from designs by the Ger
1000 tons, and her engines have an in
dictated horse power of 5,40O. From
these figures and her exceedingly fine
lines, which give to the vessel the APP
pearance of a torpedo boat of immense
size, it will be seen that the speed was
the chief object aimed at in her con-
struction. The Greif, consequently, may
be looked upon as one of the fastest, if
not the fastest, vessel of any maritime
power, if we except the Ouragan, of the
French Navy. and some foreign torpedo
boats built in English yards, and which
beat her record. The entire space of the
Greif-of which vessel the Germans may
we'll be proud-with the exception of the
space provided for the crew and stores,
is taken up by boilers, engines and coal
bunkers. The vessel is of the class
called torpedo boat hunters, and to aid
her in that service she is provided with
two powerful electric search lights, two
light guns of great range, and large
number of those bugbears of torpedo
boats, revolver guns. The Grief has
three smokestacks, and carries no sails,
there being only two short lookout masts.

Arrival Of the U. S. s. Alert.

The q. S. S. Alert, Commander J. D.
Graham, arrived on Saturday morning,
September 18th, thirty-fve and half
DAYS from Callao, South America. and
took her anchorage between the U. S. S.
Vandalia and II. B. NJ. S. Hyacinth.
Reported having experienced fine
weather the entire trip hither, and was
mostly under sail, getting up steam only
when Gains necessitated it. The Alert
is an iron vessel of l, 02O tons and was
built at Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1873,
and has made three voyages already in
the China Sea service. Her dimensions
are: 185 feet keel, and 311a feet beam.
The engines are of $50 horsepower,
capable of attaining a speed of about ten
knots an hour. The Alert is painted
white and resembles the Vandalia in
appearance except in size. She carries
four guns, one 60-pounder rife, one IL
inch smOoth-bOre, two 9-inCh smooth
bores, and several gatling guns, field
pieces, torpedOes, and large steam
launch. The Alert comes to relieve the
Vandalia, and it is likely that she will
remain here for seven or eight months.
Commander J. d. Graham, captain
commanding, was here in 1874 as an
officer on board the U. S. S. Benicia,
and was in that capacity when His Ma
jesty the King made his first tour
in America in November of the
same year. Captain Graham en-
quired of our reporter regarding his old
acquaintances, Col. G.. II. Judd, Hon.
J. 0. Dominis and many others, and
expressed feelings of great sorrow when
he learned of the death of the late Hon.
John NJ Kapena, with whom he had
many pleasant hours on board the
Benicia during that memorable first trip
of His Majesty to the Great Republic.
Captain Graham also met His Majesty
at London during his recent tour around
the world, and also at Washington. 1t
appears that Captain Graham is we'll ac-
quainted with this island, and had made
trips to KOolau, KoOlaupOkO and across
the Pail, where he enjoyed the hospital
ity of the Hon. G. H. Judd, and spoke in
glowing terms of Hawaiian hospitality
during his stay here on the previous Oc-
casiOn.
When the Alert left Callao, the Nipsic
was lying there, but it was not known
whether she was coming here at all.
The Alert has 1875 men, and 13 officers
as follows:
Commander J. D. Graham, commanding.
Lieut.. Garvin, Executive Officer.
Lieut.. F. f. Greene.
Lieut.. G.. B. L. Moore.
Ensign, Jno. j. Knapp.
Ensign, H. II. Whittlesey.
Ensign, l. K. Seymour.
Ensign, w. w. Gilmer.
P. A. Surgeon, E H. Green
Chief Engineer, B. G. Gewing.
2. A. Engineer, Robt. Crawford.
Assistant Engineer, M. A. Anderson.
Assistant Paymaster, L. S. Heap.

take sides. The attempt is made to
cover these issues by the strictly party
press. The party bosses are trying to
whip in voters on purely party lines.
When the Republican nomination was
made, some of the papers and old war
horses attempted to create such cam
paign as that which elected General
Harrison in 1910, when "Tippecanoe
and Tyler too" was yelled by half of the
population who had no idea what they
meant At that time considerable por-
ton of the people Of the country spent
great deal of time singing and repeating
the most absurd doggerel, and eating
roast OK, marching in professions, car
rying torches and drinking hard cider.
The New York Tribune of the past few
weeks has printed stuff arranged in me-
trio form, the inanity of which would
make school boy blush. Yet it is ex-
pected that this doggerel will catch
voters for Harrison. One wants to know
who they can be, for it is popularity sup
posed that the United States is peOpled
by race of more than ordinary intelli-
gence and superior to all shams. The
Nation says that this style of election
campaign is falling fiat and that it's re-
action will hurt more than any good
hoped for. At least this is comforting to
those who believe in the innate good
sense and intelligence of the mother
country, for America is the mother
country of very many of US. In order to
carry the election next November, the
solid body of voters must be convinced
of the honesty and soundness both Of
principles and men. 1t is very great
comfort that so far nothing amiss has
been discovered concerning Harrison's
infancy and boyhood, or the Democratic
press would ring with terrific tales of
his depravity. This string having been
pulled by the Republican press regard
ing Cleveland in 1884 till it broke, of
course it is not available now. A clergy
man in Connecticut started a most har-
rowing tale about Cleveland's domestic
life, but was sat upon with such sum-
mary vigor that he gasped for breath,
retracted and promised to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. Details like this make up
a good deal of campaign, but the pro-
fessional politicians keep the thing boil
ing for purely personal reasons. If this
person could be eliminated from politics,
they would be cleaner and the real wants
of the people and their beliefs would find
quicker and truer expression. Until
this is brought about civil service reform
and much else OF improvement in the
nations system of laws and of policy
will be kept back. Meantime the
looker-on, observing the tremendous en-
ergy devoted to politics by sixty millions
of people, asks with amazement what
the fuss is all about, for it is safe to as
sumo that with Cleveland or Harrison as
President the United States will continue
it's brilliant career to power and glory.

WE are SO much interested in our own
affairs away off here in the middle of the
North Pacific, that we are apt to forget
the far off world, and the great world
gives US less thought than we give it.
The. vast majority of men in civilized
countries, even, would hesitate before
telling much about us. Yet we like to
think of ourselves as part of the world
of progress, and that we have some i'm
portance, that the eyes of men are upon
us ready to approve or condemn as We
do well or i'll. Our comparative insig-
nlicance strikes us more strongly when
we consider the discussions recently held
in Congress upon the tariff question. To
us reduction of One-half on the sugar
duties means almost a CONFUSION. 1t
will bring ruin to many and great loss to
others, for we assume, and with probable
reason, that striking off a half of the
sugar tariff would so reduce the price of
sugar in the United States as to render
our treaty . of but little value. This
thought has not even occurred to the
statesmen in Congress. The effect on
US financially is of no importance to
them; the right which they have to
destroy the treaty by such stroke is
probably still less considered. The issue
with them is wholly local and its inter
national aspect is of no value.

Caution to Bnsiness Men.

The following note speaks for itself:
U. S. S. "ALERT," Sd RATE,
HONOLULU, Sept. Is, 1885,
DEAR SIR: Will you kindly state in
YOUR morning edition, for the benefit of
the merchants of Honolulu, that have
a very strict regulation on board of the
Alert, prohibiting the enlisted men con-
tracing debts for any purpose whatever.
They have a liberal allowance of
monthly money given them every month,
and l require that they shall pay cash
for all purchases. l positively refuse to
recognize or pay any bill of their con-
tracing unless personally authorized by
myself, particularly bills to liquor or eat
ing saloons and boarding houses.
As the Alert is likely to remain some
time at Honolulu and this matter may
be of interest to the merchants on shore
it would be a benefit to them if you
would kindly give notice of it.
Yours respectfully,
J. D. GRAHAM,
Com. U. S. n. Commanding.

The effect on us of possible reduction
of sugar duties in the United States,
leads to thoughts of the great contest
now going on in that country. One in
voluntarily asks, What does it mean ?"
when reading the papers. 1t seems in
credible that old party affiliations should
be strong enough to keep the lines dis
tinctly marked as Republican and Dem
ocratic, 'for they are the two great parties
still. The candidate of one will become
the next President. The issues which
existed prior to the war and even to
Hayes term are all dead. 1t is no
longer question of slavery, actual or in
theory, nor of reconstruction. nor of the
supremacy of any specified portion of the
Union. The questions connected with
States rights are practically dead and
buried. When it appeared that Congress
was in danger of too great Capitalization.
that the reserved powers Of the several
States were disregarded or overridden
by laws passed during the sessions inn
mediately following the war, the Su-
preme Court, composed of Judges from
the Same political party as that control
ling Congress, stepped in and limited
the operation of these laws, or pro-
nounced them in conflict with the Con-
stitution. These questions are for ever
and safely at rest. 1t may be asserted
that no great political question now dis
turbs the country the interests which are
now uppermost and commanding are COM
mercial, not political except collaterally.
The tariff administrative reform, the re-
construction of the revenue system, are
the matters exciting earnest discussion
and on which voters are in reality to
