Republican Compliments.

During a discussion in Congress,
two Republican Senators had the fol-
lowing complimentary remarks to say
regarding the Democratic manage
ment Of the navy:
In the course of his speech Senator
Plumb complimented the present adj
ministration of the Navy Department.
He was glad to say Gin the closing
days of the administrator that the
Navy Department had been well adj
ministered-not only in the sense
that there had been a stimulus given,
so far as could be given by executive
direction, to everything that went to
the upbuilding of the navy, to pro-
curing the best types of ships, to the
stimulation of the highest forms of
manufactures, but more than all that,
to the encouragement of the individ-
ual genius of the people and to the
doing of the work not in navy yards
where political considerations might
have influence, but in private yards.
He was glad to say that, during the
past four years, the Navy Depart
ment had been administered in
practical, level-headed, judicious way.
The result was that, quoting remark
made to him by Mr.. Hale, he was
prepared to believe that, within ten
years, the United States would have
the best navy in the world-not the
strongest navy, not n navy with the
most ships, not navy with the great
est variety of ships-but navy with
the most modern ships, with ships
best adapted to the work they would
have to do.
Senator Hale said that in five years
the United States would have the best
navy in the world. Much of the sue
cess which had characterized the
present administration Of the Navy
Department (to which he was glad to
bear testimony had been owing to
hearty holding up of the Secretary's
hands by a majority of the Senate
opposed to him in politics. The Sec
rotary had been careful in his methods,
he had encouraged American inven-
tors, American enterprise and Ameri-
can skill and now the United States
had some of the best ships that were
to be found to-day on the waters of
the globe. The present Secretary of
the Navy had been only able to
launch six or seven new ships, but
his successor would be able, during
the next four years, to launch fifteen
or twenty, or twenty-five or thirty, Of
the finest armed and equipped ships
on the waters of the globe. Then
the United States would have the
very best navy in the world.

Trouble in Italy.

The riots in Rome are only symp-
tom of great financial and CONNER.
cial distress all over Italy. This is
largely the result of its alliance with
Bismark and Germany. France at
once raised its tariff and cut off near
ly the whole of its agricultural trade
with that country. Then Bismark
insisted on an increase of the army
and a vast system of military fortifi-
cations, which are to cost 100000
900 during the next three years. In
other words, Italy must help bear the
tremendous and terrible burden which
the vast schemes of national ambi-
ton have imposed upon the people of
Europe.
This burden is breaking the backs
of the Italians for their tax amounts
to SIS head. There is now deficit
in the treasury of S75,000,000, S20,-
100000 of which is a falling off of
the taxes. The big cities are bank
rupt, unable to pay even the interest
of their large loans. Real estate has
decreased in value. The farmer can
find no market for his products. The
tradesman and manufacturer is no
better off, Factories are closed and
thousands of artisans are out Of work.
At all the chief points there have
been riots and disturbances like that
at Rome last week.
Moreover the money for military
expenditures is being wasted on out
ofdate munitions of war, and the war
Office is reported reeking with corrup-
ton in dishonest contracts.
The situation is so desperate that
the minister of the treasury talks of
resigning because he is powerless to
avert the disaster. The government
talks of confscating the property and
revenues Of the church, which are
said to amount to S30,000,000 annu-
ally. Emigration has increased from
10000 annually to 100000, as this
country has reason to know. Italy
evidently is Oh the verge of crisis
almost as decisive as /, 300 and 800
years ago, when Goth and Vandal,
from the north and the west threatened
to wipe it out, and almost succeeded.

started after the tramp and overtook
him about o miles from the camp.
With the gun as persuader, the
chore boy induced the tramp to re-
turn to camp. The stolen articles
were recovered, and the men of the
camp passed Judgment on the prison
err. He was condemned to run the
gauntlet. 1t was then discovered that
the tramp was disabled on one foot,
he having had some of his toes frozen
off some time before. The sentence
was then suspended and theitramp al
lowed to leave. He was much pleas
ed that he got off so cheap. When
the chore boy first caught him, the
tramp offered not only to return the
stolen articles, but also offered so
bride, but the chore boy refused, and
insisted that his prisoner should walk
back to camp and have his case set
tied by the men He had an extra

If Alpena is to continue to be
live and enterprising city, something
has got to be done to promote manu-
facturies. AS long as the lumber lasts
the citizens have nothing to fear, but
the days of the lumber business are
limited, and it can not last a great
many more years. This is a good
farming county, and there are vast
forests Of hardwood back of and not
far from the city. Some means should
be taken to start factories to utilize
this timber. Then Alpena should
manufacture all the flour that is used
by her citizens. Not pound of -four
should be imported from other places.
The wheat should all be raised here,
and the $4,000 that is sent yearly to
other towns to buy -four, should re-
main here and be distributed among
the people. A small factory for con-
verting wool into yarn would, we be"
lieve, be successful here. 1t is ruin
Gus business sending large amounts of
the peoples earnings to other places
to purchase -four and other articles
that can, and should be, and must, be
manufactured here.
