,ns. There is not a warship ahoat
lat can stand such pounding, and all
lust be replated according to the
American standard. Ten years ago
be United States bad a navy in name
My, but the Navy Department, under
Ir. Whitney and Mr.. Tracy, now has
n its roll forty-two modern warships,
including those authorized and under
obstruction. This is good showing
or American genius.
THE democratic Congressman from
illinois have held a conference with
he view OF furthering the interest of
lon. William r. Morrison in the direc
ion of Cabinet position. Our West
,rn and Northern democratic friends
influence, and they can teach Southern
democrats an important lesson on the
The subject. From present appear
ances in this State Mr.. Cleveland can
make up his whole cabinet without 60
ing outside of North Carolina. Get
together, gentlemen, agree upon one
man and We can win cabinet position
for the Old North State.
SECRETARY FOSTER, of the Treas
ury, has revised again his peculiar sys-
tenn of bookkeeping, and now says
that there will be balance in the
treasury at the end of the fiscal year of
about $20,OOO,OOO. Sometime ago it
was generally understood that there
would be deficit, but Mr.. Foster ap.
pears TO have so drilled his balance
sheets as to face any phase of public
sentiment. But $20,000,000 is a
small balance for great and wealthy
government ike this. There is ex.
travagance somewhere. The demo,
Gratis will find the weak point in the
armor of Mr.. Charles Foster.
SAYS the Washington Post: Eve-y
word frcm Senator George drops with
the slow and ponderous kerplunk of a
stone in the water. 1t seems to be
carefully weighed, turned around
three or fonr times, and then let fall
into space, with an exact idea of
where it will land. 1t is a very easy
matter to "take him" verbatim in long
hand, and it is probable that he is the
only public speaker in the United
States of such deliberation.

t joyment of the spoils of Office stolen b
:. the defeated from the victorious, ha
been descanting in oleaginous rhetori
upon what he calls the higher view
e and objects in politics. He ha
l. gone 80 far as to warn tn

q could count upon his own support onl
so long as it lived up to his own mors

e he had gone on, Gas an old campaigne

Of activity. that those arguments and a

American people that are addressed {
y their reason, rectitude, honor, an
