THE st Louis Republic fears that, with
the enormous expense of pensions it is not
possible 10 give adequate relief i'll the export
ing states by such an immediate change OF
the tsri5 as will yield the great amount OF
revenue required to meet the pension draiu
on the treasury" Should the democratic
party fail however. TO give this relief, the
faith Of its followers will receive Il terrible
shock. one which viii wreck the great poiiti-
cal engines Of the party and cause them TO be
consumed with shame. 1t matters not TO the
people whether not these pensions be
paid; in fact deficiency which could create
Il panic among the leeches would be most ac
eeptablc, but it is very different and more
dangerous thing 10 triBe with the will of the
great masses who have, by their vote, de-
careG in favor Of tariff reform. The democ-
+acy has been put in absolute control of the
government from no other reSson than that it
is pledged to immediate and thorough revision
and reduction Of taxes. The principle involved
becomes more popular every year. There is
4iO retreat. il indeed one is sought, for the
democracy. So let us have the tariff pledges of
or party faithfully carried out, pension or no
pension.

Tux people have heretofore given little or

An Immense yyarsi,ip.

Expert engineers of the Bureau of
Steam Engineering of the Navy de-
partment have recently completed and
reviewed specifications for the engines
and boilers OF seagoi ng battleship No.
l. which is to be the largest vessel in
the new navy Of the United States.
Notwithstanding the great size of
the vessel-she will displace 1880
tons-she will not be particularly
speedy craft as vessels are now rated
in these days of naval progress But
that Is because she is TO be heavily
armored; not protected" like the
New York, in certain vital parts, but
covered with heavy lIarveyized steel
pla ;es capableof resisting the armor
piercing projectiles of great guns. The
great weight of this armor has obliged
the naval architects to reduce the
weight allowance of the engines and
boilers, and that meant reduction in
speed, particularly asa liberal allow
ance had to be made for the coal sup
ply of the ocean-going man-of-war.
So the new vessel will have engines
of IL 900 horse power, which, running
at ll2}s revolutions per minute, will
give her speed of sixteen knots per
hour They will be triple expansion
engines, which means that steam will
be used three times in as many differ
cnt cylinders before being condensed
Three double-ended main and two
single-ended auxiliary steel boilers
supply steam ut 10 pounds pressure
to drive these engines, and to make Il
sufficient draft the two smokestacks
will be 100 feet in height
These tall stacks are not acceptable
to lovers of beauty in marine design,
but they are very economical and
enable the engineers to get along in
ordinary cruising without the annoy
ing forced draft which makes SO much
trouble.
The details of the complicated
machinery are so many that it requires
a book of ninety printed pages to
describe all of them.

Being advised by physicians to go
