The terrible accident which occurred on the
new French armored cruiser Dupuy de Lorhe,
during the official steam trial of that vessel OH
Brcst recently recalls similar accidents tnao
have occurred on the British cruisers Barracuda
Spanker and some others, and probably
due to the same cause without any warning
the nre-room end of one OF the boilers suddenly
blew out eytnguifhing the electric lights and the
fires, and fatally scadng about fifteen OF the en-
gineer's force. To make matters worse, the boiler
cmptied itself OF the boiling water, which covered
the fire-room floor several inches in depth, and
made the rescue OF the scalded and dying men
almost impossible The many similar acc-
dents that have occurred 20 the boilers or other
vessels undergoing their steam trials were traced
IN the faulty system Of forced draft, and such was
very likely the cause Of the disaster on the french
cruiser The forced draft system used In Vessels
nj the British French and German navies was
never favored by officers Of the American Navy, an"
It's Use was discontinued American ships soon
after the Cleveland Administration passed INTO
innocuous tesnetude. Forced draft is used 10 en-
nance the generation Of steam and consequently III
crease the working horse power; but the system IN
vogue on foreign vessels tends 10 cause serious
accidents especially by the overheatihg Oh TIE
tube plates. causing the tubes and tnbe-pia'es 10
expand at different degrees, consequent ieaRage'
a sudden increased pressure, and then an eApio-
sion.
II is good sign that Republicans are rapidly
settling down to work in all the Northern States.
Undue confidence caused by Democratic mistakes
and folly at Chicago is danger TO be guarded
AGAINST in every quarter. The hest method Of
counteracting that tendency is that Of systemati,
campaign organization. Republican clubs are
multiplying East and West. That means the
OPENING OF n determined working canvass.

Tx Governor Jones Is still paying
the freight up at Binghamton, but is not making
much noise about it. or course he reioices over
IIilrs humiliation at Chicago, but he Is not Of
fcnsvely demonstrative on the subject. Possibly
some persons may say that both Hill and Jones
are no longer Of much contemporaneous human
interest
