The Chinese have had dry docks for

hons in such appliances. But the United
States, am told, has taken a step which
viii revoiution!ze the dry dock business.
Just as IL has in times past taken steps
which have led % revolutions in the
building of war ships. IL Is altogether
appropriate that this new idea in the con
struction OF dry docks should come at
this day, which Is the dawuing Ot the

dream Of enthusiasts, the despair OF tax

came from the four corners Of the repub-

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.
The Conference on the Speakership-
Alger and Golf.

Gen. Goff, of West Virginia; John
NJ. Langston, Of Virginia; Congress
man liouk, of Tennessee, and Con
gresham Cheatham, of North Caro-.
lima, with their managers, @. Young
and ID. l.. Russell, were in Washing
ton recently. 1t is reported that an
important conference is to be held
concerning the attitute of the South
ern Republicans on the speakcrship
question. 1t is rum9fed that Gener-
al A ger, the new cor nander in chief
Of the G. A. 4. is Giving aid and
comfort to the Southern contingent
in their fight against Harrison, with
a view Of rallying the Solid South
for Algcr at the next presidential
party.
General Estes, of North Carolina,
who thinks he has been SO shameful
ly treated by the administration,
was Alge'rs commanding officer
during the war and is warm person
al and political friend of his. Estes,
therefore, hopes to get even with
Wanamaker, Quay & Co. in case of
Ayers election to he presidency,
and in this hope has Numerous
sympathizers an the soldier
element; for he was .nong the most
gallant officers of tie Union army.
And so Bowser's Rolt is likely to in
volve large number of his fellows
from the South, and to gain the NOR
al support of strong influences in the
North and West. The announce
ment of Chauncey l. Filley's name
in connection with the office of door.
keeper of the house Of representa-
tives, about the time that Alger's
friends here began to figure on the
question of his nomination for the
presidency in 1892 is significant
and Tom Keogh's withdrawal from
the contest for the clerkship of that
body is said to indicate that Estes
will be pushed for that place by the
combined influence of the Southern
Republicans, the Grand Army, and
General Alger, with the purpose OF
indicating his character and rebuk
ing the administration.
Bradfield's recent movement to
have the Southern Republican mem
bers instructed by their constituent
cies to hold themselves aloof from
the party caucus is considered an
adroit maneuver in the interest of
Houk, Filley, Estes andThobe for the
speakership and house offices, and
Algcr for the next presidential nom
ination. The elements sought to
be united in this scheme are the
Grand Army, organized labor and
the negroes, all of which are largely
dissatisfied with the present admin
istration. The object is to give all
these elements fair chance in the
organization of the house and to put
up Alger and Golf as the next presi-
Dental ticket of the party.

HOW SOME GIRLS WALK.
Awkwardness Due TO Lack OF Thought
and Lack OF Training.


Why is it our yonug ladies do not
know how to walk? Look! here
comes one with her head pitched
forward, her hands swinging I'M
gracefully by her side, her feet scuf-
fling the walk, and altogether pre-
senting an appearance quite unbe-
coming one of Americas lovely
daughters, charming in all else, per-
haps, but oh, such gait! The
next one walks with jerk, her feet
and lower part of her body having
started on race with her head to
see which would get there first. The
consequence is for every step for
ward she comes part way back with
a jerk.
Her sister follows twitching un-
gracefully from side TO side, rolling
from one foot to the other like \
sailor in mid-ocean, only he has
some excuse, and she has not. The
arms usually follow, but in opposite
directions. The body of the next
one makes a perfect bow, back bent,
head forward, and feet trying TO
catch up. Not one with the firm,
graceful step, erect head, straight
shoulders easy arms and hands to
be acquired by sufficient ambition
and determination to present dig
nified carriage. When will deport-
ment be taught in our schools.

1t is Now Bnsiness-N0t Politics.

The National Association of Wool
Manufacturers met in Boston on the
18th instant to consider the remedy
for the general depression and null
tiplied failures in the woollen indus
tries. The National Wool Growers
Association has been called to meet
in Washington at the meeting of the
next Congress. Something must be
done to rescue our woollen industries
from embarrassment or bankruptcy
and what shall it be? Shall it be
business or shall it be politics? If
business, the problem will be easily
solved; if politics. increased taxes
on consumers will be sold to wool
growers and wool manufactures for
party contributions and party eff
forts, and the consumers will respond
at the next Congressional elections
by making all woods free and reduc-
ing the tariff taxes on woollens much
lower than the woollen schedule of
the Mills bill. If consumers shall
be driven to revolt to settle the
question for themselves, they will
hew to the line and there will be no
forty per cent. protection, with free
raw materials for an industry that
has not thirty per cent. of labor in
its product.
There is not a woollen manufac-
turer in the country who does not
know that his mills are idle or prof
itless, even with sixty-eight per cent.
protection on his product, while the
English mills are crowded with Or
ders for the American market, solely
because English mills and labor
have the benefit of free raw mater
ials, as have the mills and labor of
every protection country abroad
They know that with the highest So
called protection to wool, our sheep
focks and wool crops have steadily
diminished in every agricultural
State from Maine to Iowa, and that
the only increase in wool comes from
the new States and Territories,
where sheep are largely grown on
public lands. They know, also, that
this decline is logical and inevitable,
for the simple reason that in New
England, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and all the States east of the
Rocky Mountains, sheep must be
stabbed and fed six months of the
year, while in the wool-increasing
States and Territories sheep feed
themselves from January to Janu-
airy. They know, also, that there is
practically no labor to protect in
wool growing, while the manufacture
Of woollens involves u very large

BAD FOR BALTIMORE.
John Hopkins University Said to be
Greatly In Need OF Finds.

New York, September 10.-A Bal
timore dispatch to the Sun says:
Evil days have fallen on the John
Hopkins University. The famous
institution of learning, the pride Of
the city and the State, is 10 want
and distress. 1t has been wrecked
with the Baltimore and Ohio, and
its magnificent endowment of more
than 100000 has been wiped out.
From the proud position which a
magnificent endowment and prince
lyf income had given it, it has
fallen to a place where the salaries
Of it's teachers must be cut, and it's
trustees must pass the hat and beg
for money, hoping against hope that
no further cuts may become neccs-
sary.
The University was endowed with
Baltimore and Ohio railroad stock.
Out of it|all there can only be found a
pile of school buildings, a breadth OF
farm land, and a pile of worthless
papers representing shares in
bankrupt railroad. The man who
is accused of causing all trouble,
John w. Garrett, was d trustee &c
the institution for many years be-
fore his death.

The Harrison administration is a
very funny administration all the

ton, but we doubt if it has produced
more amusing thing than this Gus
tom House repairs affairs.
In the first place, the contractors
have not done their work according
to the plans; next, the contractors
threatened, it is alleged, to have the
Superintendent removed if he insist
ed that they should do the work ac-
cording to the plans; and Mr.. Bach
man did insist and was removed;
why Mr.. Bachman was removed it
would take Philadelphia lawyer to
explain, from the mountain of tan
gled evidence. The contractors say
they are right and the plans wrong;
the architect who drew, the plans
says the plans were all right but
were mixed up at Washington; the
Superintendent says the plans are
all right and the contractors all
wrong. Now comes along Supervis-
ing Architect of the Treasury, Win
drim, who says that Bachman was re-
moved because these contractors
are men who should be forced to a
rigid observance of their contract"
and that "it was evident they were
not being kept up to the mark" by
Mr.. Bachman. Now, it is known to
everybody that Mr.. Bachman was
removed Immediately after a most
strenuous effort to keep the contrac-
tors sup to the mark" Indeed, as
alleged, the contractors threatened
him with removal for his persistency
in endeavoring to keep them up to
tina mark" Nevertheless Mr. Win
drim gravely repeats, evidently I'M
der the impression that he is eluci-
dating matters, II think it necessary
to compel the contractors to rigid
performance of their duty"-hence
