Republican political machine.
These bold and infamous outrages on
law and decency are known to the ad-
ministration at Washington, but the
pious hypocrite at the head of the Post
office department possibly has his eyes so
constantly on Heaven that he cannot
see them, and so they continue, in the
interest Of religious Mr., HARRIsoN's
campaign.
ANOTHER HARRIsONIAN SCANDAL.
The radical change made, by order
from Washington to CARNEGIE & Co.,
in the armor for the United States cruz
sers now under construction, places an
other serious and very ugly scandal to
the credit Of Mr.. HARRIsoN's administra-
ton unless an Immediate and satisfac-
tory answer is made to the following
questions asked by the New York Her
aid:
First-Have changes been made in YES
sells under construction for the navy which
were detrimental TO the efficiency OF these
veSselsl
Second-If such changes have been made,
were they due TO Olunders In designs or TO
the incapaclty of the contractors TO per-
! form their work.
There is another question-a vital
one-to add. We're these changes made
to accommodate those large Contribu-
tors to the Republican campaign fund,
CARNEGIE & Co., who are making the
armor?
Although the designs Of the turrets
Of the ''New York" and OF the battle
ships were generally approved the
whole world over by the most reputable
naval contractors the change was made
to an inferior design on a recommends
ton of the Naval Bureau officers, and
no good reasons have ever been given
for the change.
After giving at length and in detail
the numerous changes, which consider
ably weaken the effectiveness of the
new cruisers, the Herald remarks that
1.-The navy is not being builo to accommo-
OATS the CARNEGIE Steel Company, nor
is it necessary to give that company
carte blanche to supply armor and then
build the ships to conform to the CAR
NEGm plans"
To find out whether or not these
changes were made to accommodate the
Carnegie Steel Trust, reporter inter-
viewed the companys Secretary, Mr.
LovEJoY, asking him the following
questions:
First-Whether it was true that the Car
/ negie Steel Company could or could not
make the cOne-shaped armOr called for IN
| the contract.
Second-Whether the company had been
| authorized TO supply vertical armor in place
Of that originally intended 10 be cone
| shaped, ana If so, whether this shape was
| made at the cOmpauy's request or sugges-
! ton.
| Third-Vhether changes had been made
! in stonson armor-plates because the com
! pauv could not manufacture them as at
/
whether the forms originally supplied
/ could be manufactured at all anywhere in
/ the world
The Herald man thus narrates his in
terview:
"Of course, if your board THE Steel
| Trusts board of directors means to tell
! the people through the Herald that they
have no business to ask these questions
"Oh, no; we wouldn't put 1t Just That
way" broke in Mr. Loveioy.
/ Just so. 1t might not be advisable to
/ put il lust that way vet it will be under
| stood Just that way, all the same. But
! that is your lookout. II, however, you
! have undertaken q contract for the people
| and the people are Obliged to accept in
! ferior work from you because you cannot
/ perform your contract, they are entitled TO
! know it at once, so that your inferior work
| may be repudiated.
! "You must remember" said Mr.. Love
/ 10y plaiutively, "that in new establish
| ment like our armOr plate department there
: are many things 10 be learned progress
! lively and additions to DC made continu-
; ally"
"Precisely; and If yOu need time to com
/ plete your plant YOU ought not TO hesitate
/ 10 saw SO. There have been hints that
| Government officials have been at fault
/ owing TO bluu6ers In their plans, and, on
/ the other hand, that you are responsible
owing TO your lack of proper plant; also
/ for some peculiar reason the Government
/ has not held YOU up to your contract. III,
/ now, YOU can prove that you are not re-
/ sponsib.e for tue change aud yet you pre-
! fer to screen somebody else the public will
naturally draw disagreeable conclusions
as to the nature Of the aforesaid peculiar
/ reason
Mr.. Lovejoy sighed, but having no fur
| Their discretionary powers he kept silent.
/ At the right time, he limited, 1.-The Board'
would have its say.
"There is a continued tendency to
/ bowel disease here this season." says
| q. W. Shivell, druggist, WIcklitte, KY;
"aud an unusual demand for Chamber
/ laia's Collie, Cholera and DiarrhGa
] Remedy. I have sold four bottles of it
mis- morning. Some remarkable cures
/ R\ve been effected by it and in all cases
it has proved successful" For sale by
DruS gists.
