nickel plates furnished by both companies
than that OF the HARVEY all-steel plato last
Saturday. since the nickel dlminishes the
tendency to crack. But these plates were
alike tempered In the upright position. and
subjected to the same unequal effects from
the running water. with tho consequence Of
unevenness in the hardening.
While these important gains In our ship
armor even over the specimen plates tested
at the proving grounds are thus assured.
the comparison Of the latter with tho best
European arnor Is gratifying. The Bethle-
hem high-carbon nickel plate showed an
average resistance to penetration. measured
In inches. OF about three inches less for each
shot than the best plates furnished by
France last year.
In the next place. tho remarkably good
performances Of the CARNEGIE rolled plate.
which doubtless can be improved upon with
increased knowledge and experience on
tho part Of the makers. would at onco
enable the Navy Department to quadru-
pie tho output OF armor In a single
year. The reason Is that rolls like
those used by the Pittsburgh works can
easily be set up In half dozen places.
Instead Of waiting years for the necessary
armor for our war ships. 1t could be turned
out moro rapidly than any other sort Of
war material. Another consequence must
be q reduction In the prices Of armor. Some
steel makers have estimated that the prices
will DO brought down from $3.50 ton to
$3.50. Congress may therefore be more in
clined to resume the construction Of battle
SHIPS now that it can no longer be said that
the ships already under construction will
engage tho entire armor-producing capable
tiles Of the country for several years.
Still another valuable result Of recent
studies Is the conclusion that, In applying
the HARVEY process. both Bethlehem and
Carnegie will probably try to Introduce the
carbon on one side Of the ingot prior to any
forging. This change alone. 1t Is said.
would save not only great deal Of time.
but nine-tenths Of tho entire cost incident
to the new treatment. In new process Of
manufacture like this the successive stages
Of improvement depend on trials like those
now going on. Yet the fullest and most
successful development OF the HARVEY
process may be expected within the next
twelve months. and q year Of further prog

Sense and Nonsense.

In preparing for the Democratic national
campaign Of 1888 first there came nominal
recognition Of the absolute necessity OF the
vote OF New York. and then the movement
sank into the manifest resolve to enjoy to
the full the bewildering vision Of the battle
transferred from its historic ground to
the mythical rainbow land in the West.
The same spirit Of dreamy thoughtlessness
OF New York has appeared to exert its in
fluence upon the campaign Of 1907. only the
rainbows now are prophesied for the East.
There Is talk here and there that since Gov
ernor RUSSELL has been elected in Massa-
chusetts in two successive years. his State
can now be reasonably reckoned upon as
Democratic In 1892.
This is the same sort Of gush that year
ago effected q theoretical conversion Of
Pennsylvania to the Democracy after the
election OF Governor PATrBoN.
There has been certain feature about
the two recent elections In Massachusetts
which bears too harshly upon this rainbow
reasoning upon her fundamental change in
politics for 1t to endure any examination
searching below the surface.
The State is not Democratic which upon
two successive years deliberately defeats
JOHN w. CORcoRAN. the Democratic candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor. Mr.. Cor
ooRAN is a young man. equally high in char
acter and but little inferior In power Of
speech to Mr.. RUSSELL. But 1t appears by
his resolute rejection each time that he has
run upon the ticket with Governor RussELh
that where the voting sentiment was un-
affected by the candidates personal popu-
larity. the old party divisions Of Massa-
chusetts remained undisturbed.
This will not be so agreeable to the con-
temptation of those who would rather look
for rainbows than elect Presidents: yet
it IL q fact. No election in the past ever
emphasized the fact that New York Is pre-
eminently the Democracy's battle ground
more than the election OF this month.

The Presbyterian Difficulty.

The sentiment expressed by many Pres
byteries regarding the revision OF the West
minister Confession. and among others by
the important Presbyteries OF New York.
Chicago. and indianapolis. indicatee very
plainly that the subject will come before
the next General Assembly in an entirely
new shape.
The scheme Of revision reported to the
last General Assembly was . bungling at
tempt to save the Calvinlsm Of the Confess
zion by diluting it with generalites and
sentimentalities intended to make 1t more
palatable for the multitude Of Presbyteri-
ans who revolt against the doctrine Of cleo
ton aud its inevitable consequences. As
that doctrine or theory underlies and per-
meates the whole creed. 1t Is just to the
Committee Of Revision to say that they
could not get rid Of 1t without tearing
to pieces and destroying utterly the
consistent structure built up by the
Westminster divines. They could only
decorate 1t here and there with view to
hiding its ruggedness and concealing its
severity. II they undertook to keep It at all.
Otherwise they would have had to make a
new creed altogether. with totally differ
emit corner stone. and the General Assembly
was not ready for proceeding so radical.
Since the meeting Of that body last spring.
however. q powerful minority Of the Pres
byteies have shown that they are ready for
the change. whatever may be the sentiment
OF the Presbyterian Church more generally.
It Is true that In the report on the subject
presented to the New York Presbytery on
Monday by DR.. VAN DYKE. the opinion was
expressed that the Confession could be
revised without impairing In the least our
system OF doctrine" and as step toward
+" the formulation Of new. short. and SIM
pie creed In cooperation with other Re-
formed and Presbyterian Churches" But
how would DR.. VAN DYKE accomplish
the feat 2 1t Is by keeping In election. but
leaving out non-election: by declaring that
"whosoever will not come to" CHRIST
"shall PERISH" and yet emitting "all ref
erence" to eternal generalization to ever
lasting DEATH" and expressing 1.-THE truth
that GoD's chosen people In CHRIST are a
