A Scheme to Defend Harbors.

The rich men of Philadelphia have more
money than they know what to do with,
and they are looking TO- new investments
for it. They have scheme for defending
the harbors of that city, and the harbors of
other cities against the fleet of an enemy,
and they are trying to interest the
government in it. They insist that il
is far ahead of torpedoes and
earthworks for defensive purposes,
and that if they are given a chance they
will demonstrate that they can make any
city as safe from the iron-clads of European
navies, as if 1t were thousand miles from
the sea.
They have formed a company to operate
their scheme, and have induced the govern
ment to order Admiral Luce to make
an examination of Philadelphia harbor.
with the view Of testing their scheme.
What they propose to do is this: Perforated
iron pipes are to be sunk in the bed of the
river, and the approaches Of the harbor,
and through these petroleum is to be forced
to the surface by machinery, and at high
pressure. In this way the whole surface of
the river can be covered for miles with
blazing oil, which can be driven as high as
a ships mast, and with such force into
fleet as to make the passage of even iron
clad vessels through it impossible.
The scheme is one to appeal to the mag
nation rather than the reason. All that is
necessary to inspire the public with conf
dence in it, however, is the assertion that
the machinery to drive the oil through the
perforated pipes is to be run by the Kelley
motor.

1t is not difficult to find out where the
New York Herald stands with regard to
presidential politics. 1t is for Cleveland
and tariff reform, and it is getting in some
of the best kind of work for them. But has
anybody heard it express an opinion con-
corning the contest for governor of that
states 1t seems to be maintaining deep
silence on that question.

Ex-Minister Taylor, who is running the
colored democratic headquarters in New
York, says 10000 colored people in the
north are going to vote for Cleveland and
Thurman. This may be a high estimate,
but it is certain that Mr.. Cleveland has
treated the colored people well, and de-
serves their support.

Mr.. Thurman, it is stated, has planked
down $4,000 to help pay the legitimate ex-

speeches he has made and will make will be
worth more than any contribution for cir

The Usual Result.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer DENY
Blaine will very soon be in Indiana to stump
the state for James q. Blaine. This is as it
should be. 1t must not be forgotten that Blaine
stumped Indiana in 1884 for the same person
that he is stumping it for now, the result of
which was Indiana gave a democratic plurality
