ANOTHER tsTRAITOR. -

There's no mistake about it, the Demo
cratic distributors of patronage mustn't
appoint honest and truth, telling men to
places in labor bureaus. 1t wont do.
Labor Commissioner Peck of New York is
an illustration of what harm an honest
Democrat can do in an Office that calls for
a dishonest Democrat. He first surprised
himself by discovering that the reviled
Mckinley tariff had been a big thing for
work and wages in the State of New York,
and then he surprised his fellow Demo-
Gratis by acting under the notion that he
ought to tell the truth even if he was a
Democratic labor commissioner, and even
If the truth would be a serious blow to his
party. So he told it, and his party hasn't
got over 'cussipg' him for it yet. But
perhaps he will have a rest now, for
another Democratic labor commissioner
has been surprised in the same way that
Commissioner Peck was, and he too has
felt obliged to surprise and pain
his party by telling the truth.
His name is Peele, and he ia the chief of
Gno INDIANA state bureau or STATISTICS,
which Office he has held for fifteen years, and
all these years be has been very accepta-
BILE Democrat. He started in to ascertain the
effect of the tariff on wages, but he did
not, like Commissioner Peck, address his
interrogations to the employers. He made
canvass of the wage earners of In
dianapolis, Evansville and Terre Haute,
and instead of suppressing the results un-
til after election he has published them.
And he finds in Indiana, as Peck found in
New York, that the average wages of the
workmen have increased materially under
the operation of the tariff of 1890.
Such things as these are enough to damp
en- even the enthusiasm of the Monticello
club. 1t is clear that Commissioner Peele,
like Commissioner Peck, is traitor,
leper and Chinese pirate, and that he has
no business in such an Office as he holds.
Reform is imperatively demanded in the
Democratic labor bureaus.

THE UGANDA DISTURBANCE.

The recent troubles in Uganda haven't
attracted as much attention as the troubles
in New Orleans, but they are quite as
important. The account of them given by
Mgr. Hirth shows some of the difficulties
which attend the spread of the gospel in
that locality. He says that the Roman
Catholics at first got the better of the
heretics, but were then crushed by the
superior arms of the English fort and
driven back into the Province of Buddu.
It was only after they had been driven
gradually from all the other provinces,
and even from the islands of the Nyanza,
that tho English and the Protestant Bagsn-
das consented to lay down their arms.
King Mwanga and the Catholics were
allured to the fort on. the pretext of put
ting an end TO the conflict and of
Loyalty dividing the country. When
once possession of the King, the English
officers or, as is more exact, the Protest
ant Bagandas, dictated their own will. The
country is divided up into three parts.
The Protestants, hitherto always inferior
in number to the Catholics, keep one por-
ton, which is equal to four-sevenths of
Uganda, including the Nysnza Islands.
The Baganda Mussulmans have been re-
called from Unyoro, and will occupy two
sevenths of the country. The Catholics
are to have the other seventh. In the
three portions thus parcelled out the Pagan
party, made up of all those who wish for
no religion, have revolted and already
count many adherents. The Protestants
are seeking the aid of the fort
and the Maxim gun to suppress
the Pagans. The Catholics alone, he
complains, are forbidden to fight the
heather, while all their missions outside OF
Buddu have been destroyed. He expresses
the opinion that the English Resident has
called in the Mussulmans to act as a sort
of "buffer" between the Protestants and
Catholics, and that he will permit the
| Catholic women and children to be sold te
| them as slaves. He further accuses the
English officers of encouraging Mohamme-
| dan rites in. consequence of their hatred oi
the Catholic religion, and says that Mo
hammedanism is likely to become the Stat'
| religion.

BROUGHAM CASTLE.
Ono OF the Most Picturesque Ruins

tory WOrdsworth'S Poem
Lord Clifton.

The standing reproach of this coun-
have not yet achieved any ruins, may
find some justification in the eyes Of
Americans who are doing" the sights
on the other side of the water. Beauti-
full natural scenery, which we possess
IN abundance, lacks that charm of as
sociation which belongs to the crum
bling stones of old cathedrals, old
castles and other of the works of men
who themselves have long since mold
cred into dust and of their own bodies
contributed to the sustenance of the ivy
which Grapes the walls they proudly
reared some centuries ago.
There is hardly a more picturesque
ruin in all England than Brougham
castle in the county Of Westmoreland,
to the south of the River lamont. 1t
was, no doubt, in the DAYS of its glory
one of the strongest and most impor-
tant Of the border fortresses. Viewed
from the west the bridge that crosses
the lamont is seen in the middle
distance. and the view is completed by
taraway glimpse of part of the PEN
nine chain. The main entrance to the
huge ediice was from the east, by an
outer gateway, surrnounted by tower,
which led to an inner gateway also sur
mounted by a tower. The great tower
over the inner gateway was adorned
with turrets and hanging galleries, all
now ruinous.
Brougham castle first comes into no.
tice in the time of King John. when we
find that It is one of the possessions of
Robert Veteripont, or Vetripont, whose
grandfather came over with William the
Conqueror. Robert Veteripont was a
favorite of King John, who, giving him
possessions in Westmoreland, created
him baron and sheriff of Westmore-
land Veteriponts estates, which in
eluded the castles of Brougham, Brough,
Pendragon and Appleby, were made
hereditary without limitation to the

barometer, and actually foretells prob
able changes in the weather. It is
called semakuir, and turns black short
ly before an approaching rain, while in
fine weather it is notified with spots of
white. For a long time this curious
phenomenon was a mystery, but an
analysis of the stone shows it to be d
fossil mixed with clay and containing
a portion of rock salt and inter. This
fact being known, the explanation was
easy. The salt absorbing the moisture
turned black when the conditions were
favorab BILE for rain, while the dryness of
the atmosphere brought out the salt

THE MARBLEHEAD.

OF the speed guaranteed at the final
four-hours' steam trial; and for each
quarter Of knot that she falls below
seventeen knots, penalty of the same
amount will be exacted from the build
ers. There are also penalties for de-
lays in completing the vessel at the
time specified, providing such delays
are not the fault of the navy depart
ment; also for overweight In machinery.
The motive power is provided by
triple expansion engines, of the vertical,
inverted type, one on each side of the
vessel and connected with each of the
twin screws. They may be run at a
maximum speed of 1e5 revolutions a
minute. Below the steel protection
deck, in water-tight compartments, are
three double-ended main boilers, and
two auxiliary boilers for working the
heating, ventilating, pumping and
other light machinery. The vessel has
bunker capacity for 435 tons of coal,
which may be SO distributed as to secure
the best possible protection to engines
and boilers. The vessel has no armor
plating, so defined, but her protec-
tive deck, which starts at a point
below the water line at the Sides curves
upward amidships, and is eleven-six-
teenths of an inch thick on the slopes,
nine-sixteenths on the level over the
machinery and slightly thinner at the
ends. This deck is intended to give pro-
lection to the machinery. magazines
and steering gear against the fire from
machine guns. The coming tower is
constructed of two-inch mild steel.
The battery will consist Of two g.
inch breech-loading rifles, one mounted
forward on the forecastle and the other
aft on the poop-deck, the crews being
protected from the enemy's fire by steel
shields so inclined that the shot strik-
ing them will be DETECTED; eight 5-inch
breech-loading rifles mounted in spon-
sons, four on each side of the ship; six
6-pounder and two 1-pounder rapid
firing guns and two Gatling guns.
Among the novel features of the vessel
are coffer-dams extending nearly the
entire length Of the ship on each side
of the water-tight deck. These viii be
filed with cellulose, a Misunderstanding
material manufactured from the fiber
of the cocoanut. The particular value
of this material lies in its tendency, in

class, partially protected cruisers" the
Detroit, was launched at Baltimore on
October % last year. The second one
put into the water was the Mont
gcmery, at Baltimore, on December
following. The longer time to get the
Marblehead ready to go into the water
was due to the fact that she was not
begun SO soon as the others. and also to
the suspension OF the firm of Harrison
Loring, the contractors, and the con-
sequent delay IN the appointment OF
assignees, who have since carried on the
work Of the government at that estab-
Ishnlent.
1t viii be observed that contrary to
the practice, as followed in the larger
cruisers, of dispensing with masts and
sails for auxiliary power. the Marble
head has two nssss and is to have the

sails shown, when not under steam,
she could carry large staysail-a sail
