out his orders on the SpeaRership question. Since
then he has declared himself and the four Brook

THE NEW ARMORED CRUISER.

The launch Of the cruiser New-YOrk to-day
at the Cramps shipyard is an event to be re-
garded by every American with patriotic pride.
This new ship will be the largest and most
formidable cruiser afOat in the naval service Of
the United States. With displacement of
$3.50 tons, a speed Of 30 knots powerful bat
terry, and cruising radius of 1000 miles under
1O-knot speed, the NewYork will represent the
maximum degree Of efficiency in defensive and
offensive operations to which American naval
science has attained. Other ships have been de-
signed and are in process of construction which
will be superior to il in,some respects, but when
placed in commission in the course Of few
months the New-York will be the finest cruiser
in the completed fleet and unrivalled as an
armored cruiser in the navies OF the world.
Secretary Tracy has done well to name this mag
nifcent ship after the metropolis and the Empire
State. Newly orkers will never cease to regard
the cruiser with honest pride and real affection
The modern batte-ship is ordinarily COM
promise, the unimpeded development of all the
highest qualities of speed defensive strength,
offensive power and coal endurance being i'm
practicable in heavily armorcd vessel. In
order to have one of these qualities at the max
mum the others have to be sacrificed in the
naval architects study of weights and balances
The distinguishing feature Of the New-Yolk is
that no element essential to make cruiser tho
best of its class has been neglected. II will have
the highest speed, so as to be capable OF over

rs THE STATE BOARD IN THE CONSPIRACY

IS THE STATE BOARD IN THE CONSPIRACY
A pack of scoundrels under the leadership OF
Governor David b. Hill has, as everybody knows
been working desperately ever since election to
defeat the will of the people as expressed at the
ballot-box In defiance of the new Ballot law
which Hill naturally hates because it mlnimlzes
the power for evil of the bosses like himself who
are in politics simply for what they can get out
of them-these infamous conspirators against
popular government have been trying to steal
enough seats to make the Senate Democratic
Our readers are aware Of the foul means which
in pursuit Of their purpose have been employed
by the gang in Duchess, in Onondaga in RenS-
selaer and several other counties.
Now, the question which presents itself this
morning is-What are the members of the State
Beard of Canvassers going TO do about it? Are
they going to play into the hands of these public
enemies Do they purpose to consummate the
Outrdges upon the electors which have been per-
petrated by Hills wretched heelers? Or will
they meet their responsibilities like honest men,
intent only upon doing their sworn duty? There
is warrant for these questions in the fact that
the Secretary Of State, Frank Rice, has called
a meeting Of the Board for this morning. The
Revised Statutes provide that the Board shall
meet on or before the 18th of December after
each general election" and the we-nigh uniform
rule has been to delay the meeting until the 18TH
Why is the rule departed from this year? That
is the query which men all over the State asked
themselves yesterday afternoon as soon as it
became known what Mr.. Rice had done. The
Secretary is ready with an explanation of his
unusual course. Here it is:
/ have been induced TO convene the State Board Of
Canvas,crs somewhat earlier tnan Is customary be-
cause of The urgency Of the situation far relates
90 the four COngreSsmen-eect from this State. In
order for them 10 meet with their associates at Wash
incton next Mondfy, tey must have presented their
certificates TO Clerk MCPHERSON prior 10 that time.
These credentials Issue from TIE State Board OF Can
yassers and, therefore, the state Board may meet
for a day or Two without completing It's work, II
seemed 20 me advisable TO call the members together
at The earliest possible moment. The returns from all
the counties have been received at this Office and by
tonight the tabulatlens will have been finished.
Now. if the Board meets to-day and confines
itself to canvassing the Congressional vote, and,
having disposed of that business, adjourns until
December Is, its members will not be open to

David b. Hill is sowing the wind. Sooner OF
later he will reap the whirlwlnd.

Our versatile friend, The World" proclams
in one column its opinion that the decline of the
American commercial marine is to be attributed to
the navigation laws and to the eXactions OF our
tariff law" and the same page successfully
refutes itself by printing Il cable dispatch from
Liverpool containing the views Of the managing
director Of the largest of the transatlantic COM
panies That official is quoted as saying: There
is o rumor that new transatlantic line is con-
tcmplated. l am sorry for the projectors for
they must lose money. They may take IA good
deal Of business eastward, but the shirs will go
home empty Add to this the fact that, being
American ships, they will employ American labor
and this will increase their working expenses
enormously over ours. | don't see how they are
going to come ont alive" This clear and un-
mstakablc utterance from one In authority re-
specting the difference between American and
English wages paid for marine labor ought to con-

Little change in the Speakershp struggle is
perceptible from day to day. Judge Crisp seems
to be slightly in the lead, and "Crisp against
the feld' was phrase which gained currency
yesterday. The claims of the several candidates
cannot of course be accepted at their face value
The estimates put forth would require Dem
ocratic membership of the House larger by TWEEN
ty-iiye or thirty than it actually is. Nothing but
the test of ballot /. the caucus will determine
how Mills, Crisp, McAlillin and the others really
stand. And Springer, too, of course. They
reckon i'll who leave him out.

answer TO all such foolish assertions.

If Roswell p. Flower doesn't approve of the dis
graceful business that Governor Hill Is now en-
gagged in, he is doing himself infinite harm By not
coming out squarely and saying so in unmistak-
able terms. So long as Hill thinks he has his
party behind him he is apparently capable of
going TO any length.

And the chilly winds are blowing,
Aud It's getting time for showing
As get ulsters out.
We can hear the snow birds sngin5;
And the ciclcS are cInginS
To the whltened water spout.
Where the old-tlme lovers hrted,
The g10ves have been deserted,
And trer sparks are now concerted

And the tramp is sonthwnrd walking;
And the sewing circles talking,
Puts their victims in state.
The plumber now Is plumbing
And the Old clothes man Is hummng
At the garments that are coming
From the swells Of summer days.

And the plump anu pampered turkey
