HAVE YOU PRosPERED I?

Tue Republicans Of Indiana, in
convention assembled, a few weeks
since endorsed the following:
ave endorse the brilliant admin
istration of Benjamin Harrison, un-
der which the country has prosper
ed.n
Prospered indeed! Who has pros
pered? Farmers, county and town
merchants, doctors and lawyers, Just
think of such impudence. More
fsilures in the year Of 1891 than any
one in our history. Never were
there so many unemployed men
now seeking work. The records of
the metropolitan city of this "prcs-
perc as" nation show that $4,000
people were turned out Of homes in
1890, and now 10000 men in the
city of Chicago are objects of chari-
ty because they are not able to get
work. That Is very prosperous.
Cotton raiser what say you of such
a brilliant administration" under
which you have "prospered."
Wheat farmers how does it strike
you, when wheat is to-day demand
ing the lowest price ever known in
its history. Would you call it very
prosperous when you brought your
corn, peanuts and tobacco to market
for cash sale? Yet these "prosper-
Gus" times are endorsed.
The Chicago Herald says of the
above resolution:
elbow dare this greedy gang of
spoils-hunters adopt such resolu-
tinn in the face. of such record ?
low dare they insult the awful
misery of the masses? The wrath
of Justice like the lightning's stroke
will scorch and crush these Knockers
of human woe.v

INFERIOR RUBBER.
The Probable Result of the Mare Island
Investigation.

The Probable Result Of the Mare Island
Investigation.
VALLEJO, June 25.-After three weeks Of
the most rigid and searching investigation
that could be devised by Captain Henry c.
Cochrane, United States Marine Corps,
president. and First Lieutenant Lincoln
Karmany, United States Marine Corps,
recorder-a board appointed by the Secre-
tary Of the Navy to examine and investigate
into the merits Of the allegations brought
By the Minerslized Rubber Company OF
New YoTk-completed its lab0rs this after
noon and adjourned. The charges were
that, through iavoritsm, the board of in
spection at the Mare Island Navy-yard had
rejected two lots OF rubber gaSkets sent
here more than year ago for the United
States cruiser San Francisco as being of an
inferior quality. which action involved the
purchases Of Others. under IequiSitiOn, at
an excessive price at the expense of the
company.
The Yoluminous mass Of testimony will
be forwarded by tO-mOrrOw's mail to the
Navy Department. A great many wit
nesses have been examined, and much cor
respondCnce introduced from the company
itself aud also from various rubber COM
panies AS many as 10 tfeTent qualities OF
rubber gaskets from various ships had been
secured ana used 10 procure samples there
from and tested al the laboratory al The
navy-yard TO ascertain their quality aud
merits, and for comparison with that fur
nshed Dy the MineraliZed Rubber Company.
No test was made of the Raskets furnished
by that company, owing to the fact that the
rejected lot of gaskets are now on their way
to New York via Cape Horn. The COM
pany, however, was written to and in
structed to forward to he board samples
certified to under oath of their being of the
same kind and quality as furnished under
that particular contract. No sample
was presented 10 the board, hence
a relative test could not be made. AS many
as 60 samples Of rubber from the crude to
the most refined state were under inspec-
ton OF the board, and cOmpeteut experts in
the quality and manufacture Of rubber
goods gave their opinion and testimony.
The final result will not be made known
until the Secretary Of the Navy has read
the report. but from the progress Of the in
vestigation and testimony adduced it would
not be a surprise il the allegations were not
all substantiated and the gaskets found by
testimony to be OF such an inferior quality
of material, texture and workmanship that
the board Of inspection was justified in
rejecting the goods.

New YORK, June 25-The Tammany
delegates who returned from Chicago this

tagous They also admitted the nomn-
alton Of Cleveland appeared foregone con-
clusion from the start, and all their stTug-
giles were hopeless against the oyerwhelm-
ing popularity Of the exp resident among
