Mr.. J. Scott Harrison, a brother OF
Little Ben, has been appointed by
President Cleveland surveyor of Gus
toms for the port of Kansas City, Mo.
Mr.. Harrison is an all wool DEMOCRAT

he ran for President both in 1888 and

According to the Washington Post,
which gives as authority two Sena-

voted for his brother, but went the
whole hog, as it were - voted for
Warner, Republican nominee to be
Governor, and voted against John
Tarsney Democrat for Congress, which
to our mind is almost equivalent to
being a Republican, In justice to the
Statesman, however, Brother Boyer

The Gem of the Ocean.

The Columbia, the fastest war ship
aAoat, was projected and the plans
made and approved during the Harri-
son Administration Ex-Secretary of
the Navy Benz. F. Tracy says he is
proud of her. Who wouldn't be? But
another surprise is in store. The Min
neapolis, a sister ship, will be COM
pleted in the spring and from improve
ments in her machinery, it is thought
she will Guido the Columbia.
This ma, al prodigy can run 80 miles
an hour, is of FL, 500 horse power, has
three screws, and cost s., ooo, 900. She
has 81 separate engines. The tops of
her propeller blades move through the
water at the speed of eighty miles an
hour. Her low pressure cylinder,
which is ninety-two inches in diane
ter, has an initial load of 100 tons
equal TO three ordinary locomotives,
The condenser tubes, if placed end to
end, would form a tube thirty three
miles long. The cooling water pass
ed through these tubes is equal to So
900, 900 gallons per day, enough to
supply large city with water. The
main boilers, if placed end to end,
would form tunnel 1856 feet long and
large enough for train of cars to pass
through. The heating CRATE surface,
if arranged in one CRATE, would equal
a small town lot Of 20 feet front and
II feet in depth The blowers are
capable of supplying 81, 900, 900 cubic
feet of air an hour, which would sup
ply good sized yacht with ten knot
breeze. With 20, 600 horse power she
would lift herself 1850 tons weight
to the Brooklyn Bridge in three min
utes, if hosting ropes were coiled
around her shafts. If the engines
were set up on shore, and used
as catapult, they would throw 500
pound weight with such velocity that
it would go off into space entirely
clear of the earth's influence. The fc-
tons OF Jules Verne sink into insight
ficance by the side of this coal-eating
monster of the nineteenth century.

her 44-knot trial trip on Saturday

Missouri Democrats are hopping
mad over the appointment OF Scott
Harrison, the alleged Democratic
brother of eX-President Harrison to
be Surveyor of Customs at Kansas
City, and of Webster Withers to be
Collector of Internal Revenue at the
same place. The entire Missouri del
egation, and the Democratic StateCom-
mittee, had Endorsed James Burns and
Robert Tillery and do not think they
had fair count. When it comes to
confirmation something may be heard
to drop, unless senatorial courtesy due
to the eX-President, is sufficiently
strong to pull the appointees through.

Not the Only Partisan.

Our neighbors, the World and
Statesman, assert that the Herald is
intensely partisan. We plead guilty
to the soft impeachment and claim in
extenuation that any other course, the
condition of public affairs being so
desperate, would be hypocritical. But
we are not alone The Clarksburg
Telegram is equally outspoken. No
tice how Editor Reed puts the case:
Even our Democratic brethren
must admit that the Republicans were
very lenient in depicting the evils
that would result from such a policy
OF government as the Chicago plat
form enunciated. A decade of pros
perity will not restore this govern
ment to its once exalted position.
Grover Cleveland and his Congress
have now been in power eight months
and cost the nation more money than
the Civil War-more than Jeff Davis
six years of treason. Grover Cleve-
land, the Saint of Democracy-the
stuffed prophet of Buffalo, stands ar
raj 5ned before the bar of our Nation s
dignity and honor for prostituting
American diplomacy by selling high
Offices for cash to run his campaign.
He has placed a plutocrat and corpor-
alton council in the office OF Attorney
General of the United States. He
turned his back upon the Country'S
woe when a few strokes from his pen
would have saved a billion dollars,
now lost forever He fished in Buz-
zard' Bay while the people struggled
with wrecked banks, dismantled fac
tories, and Frustrated agriculture. His
stony heart was unmoved by pity as
he saw bread and shelter denied the
men who rescued from treason their
country's flag. Eight months of
Clcvelandism has been eight months
of incompetency, retrogression, and
shame.
And the Parkersburg State Journal
is equally emphatic:
Walter Q. Gresham, a renegade
Republican who was a candidate for
the Republican nomination and left
the party because he didn't get it, has
taken advantage Of his first opportun-
ity to show the meanness and little.

sonal enmity to eX- President Harrison

relation to Hawaii. Gresham is one
