Tho Old Game.

The Hon. REUBEN F. KoLB. defeated
Farmers Alliance and mixed candidate for
Governor OF Alabama. is making great
pother in the approved Republican manner.
IL have been fairly and honestly elected by
over 10000 majority" he cries out In the
Atlanta Constitution. land the people Of my
native State recognize the fact and will see
that justice Is accorded by placing me at
the head Of our State Government for the
next two years"
Mr.. KoLB. although not yet a Republican.
shows all the pleasing modesty Of Repub-
lican candidates explaining defeat. Ac-
cording to syllabus OF the Alabama situa-
ton drawn up or approved by various emil
nent personages in the Republican National
Committee and published by the Herald last
week. Mr.. KoLB's friends are in favor
OF Force bill. A beaten minority
candidate might naturally enough fall back
upon this expedient. To howl that you are
counted out and to implore Washington to
count you in. is the old resort OF beaten Re-
publican candidates in the South; and
while Mr.. KoLB is not technically Repub-
lican as yet. he has the hearty sympathy Of
the radical Republicans.
Aabamainns averse to a Force bill will
keep tho Democratic party Of Alabama to-
gethcr next fall. Capt. KoLB may be a nice
man in n State contest. but as friend or
representative OF tho Force bill he Is q
nuisance to be restrained.

gu estioned. It has been admitted and de-
plored by tho British press. It was taken
for granted in the debates In our own Con-
gress at the time an appropriation was
voted. it was not denied at the Berlin Con-
ference, and It must now be maintained.
1t is encouraging to note the very general
interest which the newspapers Of our coun-
try are beginning to take in this important
question. There are few Journals which.

pooh-pooh the matter as insignificant. Why
bother the American people during Presi-
dental year. they ask. with this remote
and outlandsh Pago-Pago. about which no.
body knows and nobody caresp Let Eng
land have the thing IL she wants It.
The question Is OF incalculable impor-
lance to the future OF the United States.
Paga-Pago is not only the best harbor In
the South Pacific, but 1t Is the only hnrbor
in those waters available to us for naval
station. When tho Nicaragua Canal is

cally. rs the corresponding station, which

Gompers ON Liberty.

Mr.. SAMUEL GoMPERs. President Of the
American Federation Of Labor. made a
speech on Saturday to mass meeting OF
the Homestead strikers at Pittsburgh.
After denouncing the despot FR1CK. he pro-
ceeded to ventilate his idea Of the priceless
value Of personal liberty:
81 am man Of peace and 1lovepeace. butI am like
that great man. PATRICK HKNRY. stand as an Ameri
can citizen and say. give mo liberty or give me
death, Animals cannot exist without food and water.
and the true American citizen cannot 1.-Two without his
liberty"
Early in the morning Of the very day on
which Mr.. GoMPERs uttered this beautiful
sentiment. the strikers assaulted two men
named TEEMERs and cut open the
head Of one OF them. because they had gone
to work in the CARNEGIE Union Mill. A
little later teamster from BraIldock began
transferring the household goods belonging
to non-union steel worker from the ferry
to one OF the company houses near the mill
yard. On the way he was stopped by a
crowd OF strikers. who ordered him to turn
back with his load. but he refused. Half
an hour later he returned with the empty
wagon. and was again stopped by ten or
twelve men. The leader Of the crowd said {:
"1f We catch you here again We will break
your head"
Evidently. Mr.. GoMpERs had better con-
tinue his missionary labor among tho
Homestead strikers. They need instruc-
ton in the rights Of free American citizens.
and GoMpERs. according to his speech. Is
the man to give it to them.

Not a Nest for Two Birds.

A special despatch from Washington to
tho Hartford CJurant reports Commodore
FRQUHAR rs saying that the United States
Government already possesses all the land
in Pago-Pago harbor which was recon-
monded for purchase by Admiral KIMBER-
LY: and that there is no other site in the
harbor which is worth anything to any
other power for naval station.
Commodore FARoUHAR is Chief OF the
Bureau of Yards and Docks. Tho state.
ments attributed to him arc not quite exact.
A narrow strip OF shore land has been &C.
quired. extending from Observatory Point,
near Goat Island. for about half q mile to
the place called Swimming Point. where 1t
Is proposed to build the pier; but the
water frontage thus secured is but q little
more than one-half Of the frontage OF the
plot as recommended by Admiral KIMBERLY.
and Its area is. perhaps. not more than one
sixth or one-elghth of that which the Ad-
miral thought necessary for the establish
ment OF the naval station.
So. too. with regard to Commodore FAR
GUITARS belief that nowhere else In the har-
Dor is there room for another naval station.
Great Britain might establish herself. II she
chose to do so. and II We permitted her to
do SO. at Trading Point. directly across the
bay. and at a distance Of only half mile.
The site is not SO good as that which we
have already occupied. but 1t Is sufficiently
available to attract the attention Of any
British engineer or officer instructed to find
foothold in this most valuable Of South
Pacific harbors. 1t may turn out that Trad
Ing Point is the locality which England at
present has In view.
But the idea OF Joint occupation at such
short range by two naval powers which
may az some day be at war Is ridiculous to
| common sense and intolerable to national
| self-respect. There Is not room In Pago-
| Pago harbor for any other power than
that to which it was originally granted.
Until we shall have completed the acqusi-
ton OF all the land we need In Pago-Pago.
we possess under the treaty OF 1878 rights
as exclusive as those which were granted
to Germany In Saluafata harbor. This ex-
elusive jurisdiction has never before been

two former occasions he had attacked each
OF the competing plates with one s-inch and
four 6-inch projectiles: but on July % he
fired five s.inch shells, each with the velocity
OF the single s-inch round OF November.
1891 All the shells were made by HoLTzER
which is q sufficient guarantee OF their ex-
cellence: yet three OF them broke up In
small fragments ON the HARVEY face. and
although the other two succeeded In get
ting through the HARVEY crust. their points
reaching the rear surface OF the ioL-inch
plate. not one OF the five got into the wood
backing behind.
The plate, therefore. came of victorious
from this tremendous batterlng. twas only
slightly cracked in the right-hand upper
corner, and Mt the conclusion OF the test was
In much better condition than the best plates
ofthe November trials, some OF which had
shown better results than any In the world
under equivalent circumstances.
The weight Of each projectile was $50
pounds, and 1t was propelled with strlk-
Ing velocity OF loo feet second. The

New Trinmphs for American Armor.
The recent trials at Indian Head and at
Bethlehem OF two 1OH-inch nickel steel
plates. treated by the HARVEY process. have
carried still further forward the high stand
ard OF American ship armor.
During the last two years American
armor tests have surpassed in the severity
OF their methods and tho Importance OF
thcir results those II tho most renowned
ordnanec-proving grounds Of Europe. In
1880 trials mt Annapolis destroyed the pres
tige OF Sheffield compound armor. and
made 1t evident that the ship plates of
the future should be steel or nickel
steel. The next great series of OK
periments showed the superiority of nickel
steel plates over steel without the alloy.
and also gave n forecast OF tho gain to be
made through hardening the surface of the
plate by the HARVEY carbonizing process.

value Of this process. under certain notable
improvements effected since the trials OF
