Cleveland's free trade message will
prove a political shirt of Nephus to
him, and terminate his short-lived
and accidental political existence.
The cry that the republicans "raise
the bloody shirt and tear open the
wounds inflicted by the war;" is the
only argument used by the democrats
of the south and their northern dough-
faced allies, and yet this accusation is
unfounded and slanderous. 1t is only
a rehash of the device of the fleeing
theft in bawling "stop theft to throw
the pursuers off of his scent. The
negroes are legal voters by the laws
of the southern states. By including
the negroes in the apportionment for
federal representation, the south re-
ceives large accession of political
power-38 congressman and 80 cleo
toral votes, yet the negro vote is
suppressed by the fraud and intimi-
dalton practiced by southern demo-
Gratis. South Carolina, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana are republican
states, but they are made democratic
by suppression of the negro vote. The
"solid SOUTH is the child offraud and
violence. If a republican censures this
illegal and revolutionary suppression
of the negro vote, and insists upon q
free ballot and an honest count, in the
south as we'll as in the north, the
democrats cry out that he is "raising
the bloody shirt" and is sectional
and unpatriotic. Let southern demo-
Gratis abstain from intimidation, viO-
lence and fraud, and they will not be
as'now, under the necessity of seeking
refuge in prevaricat ton, falsehOOd and
perjury from the consequences of their
illegal and revolutionary acts and do
ings.
The democrats talk as though it was
a discredit to Benjamin Harrison to
have had distinguished grandfather
and great grandfather, but men of
sense believe in the blood of men as
well as of horses and like to know that
a man comes of an honest and patriot
ic stock. Had Cleveland's grandfather
ever risen above the dead level Of
mediocrity and assembled even one
step from the abyss of impenetrable
obscurity and insignificance, the
democrats would parade the fact, iii
all the pomp of rhetoric and all the
aff1uence of hyperbole..
Levi p. Morton started in life as a
shoemaker and he made his property;
so his riches constitute no objection to
him. Every workingman should cast
his vote for Morton.
That Roger Quack Mills is a turn
coat and demagogue is past all con-
troversy. In 1866 he was both know
nothing and a prohibitionist. He
lately made the false charge that the
republican platform favored free
whisky" IfMills really believed this
he is a "fool posit've;" if he did not
believe it, he was falsifier. He is a
tad.pole attempting to personate an
elephant.

HOW TO ELECT BISHOPS.
The Question Which Occupied the
Methodist Conference Yesterday.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Bishop Merrill OPP
ened the third weeks session of the Metho-
dist Conference today. Delegate McCul-
Tough, of Texas, offered memorial asking
the conference to favor the Blair educational
bill. 1t was referred to the committee on
the state of the church.
The Book Concern will celebrate its CEN
tennial next year. A resolution was passed
constituting committee on the book con-
Germ and authorize it to prepare for the cele-
bration of the event.
Rev. c. w. Smith, of Pittsburg. offered a
resolution, which was adopted, that the COM
mittee on episcopacy be instructed TO report
ready to proceed to the election of Bishops
and other general conference officers.
Rev. w. ii. Hunter, of Central Illinois,
offered a resolution regarding the election Of
Bishops. He asked that the committee on
episcapacy be instructed to so form rules
that only one candidate for Bishop may be
ballotted for at a time.
DIR j. M. Buckley, of New York, offered
substitute which asked that the voting for
Bishops be by orders.
Rev. w. Olin, of Binghampton. charged
that there were cliques and combinations
existing to elect certain candidates. After
considerable discussion Mr.. Hunters motion
was lost.
Rev. d. w. c. Huntingdon also offered res
Olution asking that the election of Bishop be
decided by two-thirds vote. The house re-
fused to suspend the rules and entertain the
motion. The conference then adjourned for
the day.

BATH LEADS.
Construction of the First Triple Ex-
pansion Engine In the Western
World.
[Batll Tines

Those persons who have viewed the two
beautiful marine engines just completed at
the New England Iron Works, for the
yachts Sycamore and Sapphire, will prcba-
bly, be surprised to learn that four years
ago such machines were unknewn in this
country. Yet this is the case. Triple ex-
pansion engines have only been built in the
United States since 1884, and the first one
of this pattern ever constructed in the
western world was designed in Bath, Me.
OF course attempts bad been made previous
to this date, to SO combine cylinders as to
make use of the great power which was
known to be lost in the exhaust steam and
considerable advance had been made.
About 1868 the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company had two vessels built for their line
and furnished with compound engines of
Scotch manufacture, the earliest introduction
of these engines to our shipping John
Reach. tile great iron shipbuilder, made
careful examination of them, saw at once the
advantages to be secured by their use and,
using them as models, preceded to design
other engines for the same c0mpany-the
first compound engines ever built by Ameri-
cans. Then different combinations of cy-
finders were tried by mechanics with various
degrees of success, until at last Scotchman
set up a triple expansion engine, This was
Alexander Kirk, a man of rare mechanical
genius. 1t was shortly after this that the
steamer Meteor, vessel designed for great
speed, was built and an engine of exceptional
power was demanded. The task OF meeting
this demand was assumed by superintendent
Hyde of the New England Iron Works.
There was little data at his disposal to assist

in making the plans for such machine. No
works IN ANYTHING beyond the single piston
engine had ever been published and nothing
like a correct account OF Kinks invention
could be secured. But the thorough mastery
which Mr. Hyde had of the principals which
nnderlie this branch of mechanics enabled
him to handle the work. The. report that
such an engine was in process Of construction
aroused good deal OF curiosity and no little
ridicule. Wise men, whose knowledge OF
steampower had been acquired in the iire
room of tug boat, and other persons whose
authority on such matters was generally re-
spected, regarded the scheme as impractible,
but the work went on.
The result was so satisfactory that orders
for this form of engine began to come in and
other manufacturers began to build them.
The next steamboat to receive her engines
from the New England works was the
SapnhO. the boat whose Epeed so attracted
the attention of Mr.. j. w. Slater that he de-
termiDed to have his new. yacht furnished
with the same style Of engine. Then came
reputation was almost Immediately estab-
lished among the coast wise steamers. The
tests which have been made with the Saga
more's engine show that this will be no dis
appointment, every part working with care
and precision.
pansion engine are little understood, save
bv a few engineers, though of very great
value. The one most likely to be noticed by
the ordinary person is the smoothness Of
this engines motion which does away with
the disagreeable jar that has been so much
objected to in screw steamers. This result
is reached by setting the shaft cranks at diff
ferent angles so that while one piston is hit
ting, another is pressing down, thus throw
ing the whole shock into the engine bed II
self. Another gain which appears in the
decreased bill for running expenses is in the
saving of fuel. While ouly so much steam is
required to run this form Of engine as would
be needed for single cylinder engine with
piston head of the same size of that in the
smallest cylinder of the compound one, more
than double the power secured by the ex-
ira surface exposed to its action in the two
additional cylinders of the triple expan sion
engine. A very few quadruple expan sion
engines have been constructed but experience
seems to show that the triple form is able to
develop about all the energy there is in the
the fourth piston is about c0unter-balanced
by the additional machinery necessitated by
As a natural result Of this device for using
steam in successive cylinders the pressure at
the boiler has been constantly increased In
order that the expansive power OF the active
steam might be greater, until pressure OF
from 100 to 1S0 pounds to the square inch are
common on steamboats,. The results OF these
improvements have been made manifest. In
the increased speed which has charaetlzed
modern steamers, and it is to be expected
that the two vessels now being completed at

which our Bath ship builders have always
held of sending out the finest wooden vessels
