The XesuYIus.

| The other day in congress, during a
/ desultory debate, member took occasion
/ to denominate the dynamite cruiser We
/ suvius as in effect a monumental naval
failure. Whereupon another member
arose to champion that vessel as in all re-
spectsa marvellous specimen Of American
skill and ingenuity
Both of these gentlemen were correct,
from their respective standpoints. The
| Vesuyius is entirely unlike any other war
ship in model and purpose, aud her speed,
shapeliness and possibilities are mall re
spects unique. Odd enough, she was de-
signed and constructed for the effective
operation Of a peculiar proiectile, instead,
as is the rule, of having her armament
adapted to the style and capacity of the
ship after the latter had been completed.
The Vesuvius, therefore, typiies in all
particulars the excellences of naval
architecture, for which this coun-
try is being distinguished, and her curious
fixed armament of air compression guns,
without pivotal appliances of any kind,
and without carriages, has been shown by
official tests to be exact in their accuracy
and almost unvarying in their aim.
But here the Vesuvlus rests the argu-
ments of her merits. For it happens
that the projectile, the dynamite shell,
which she was cOntrived to lodge with
deadly and widespread destructiveness,
failed of the purpose for which it was de-
vised The object of this projectile was
that it should be so susceptible to percus-
sion that on being plunged into the water
its fuse would ignite and explode the con
tents of the shell. At the same time it
was essential that the initial shock
should not actuate this explosion at the
muzzle of the gun. The air-compression
cylinders, on frequent experiment, were
found to be equal to this latter prevention,
but contact with so slight a re
water surface was found insufficient
to ignite the shell fuse and the tests were
abandoned as being regretta BILE, though
not irreparable, failures so far as the fuse
alone was concerned.
OF course, this was by all means the
most important feature of the tests; but
it remains that the Vesuvius, symmet-
rical and useful naval structure, with an
armament altogether unlike any other in
the world, is in ordinary, awaiting the
genius of American invention, which is
surely to originate fuse so sensitive to
combustion that, while it will not ignite
upon the impact of discharge, it can be
depended upon to do so at the slightest
contact after leaving the gun.

For the safetv OF shipping.

The protection afforded to vessels dur
ing the storm of August 27-2S and that of
yesterday and the night before by the
Central railroads slip suggests that
other and similar places would be of great
advantage to the commerce of the port.
What is known as the Centra's slip is
really basin formed by the digging out
of the mouth of Musgrove creek and
erecting wharves and sheds on each
side thereof The basin is wide, deep
and secure, and in it steamers and sail
ing craft receive and discharge cargoes
free from many of the inconvenience
incident to the loading or unloading of
vessels lying at the wharves along the
river front.
Similar slips, or basins, could be con-
structed on Hutchinson's Island or at the
rice plantations above and below the
city. A slip similar to that at the Cen
trails wharves built at the quarantine
station with high wharf-heads, would
afford safety to vessels detained at that
point.
Such improvements, however, cannot
be made now, or even in the near future !;
but they are matters worthy of careful
consideration. For they will surely de-
mand attention in days to come; prob
ably when the enterprise and energy of
another generation shall dominate Sa-
vannah affairs.

The matter of the appointment Of Mr..
r. F. Baker TO the Office of United States
gauger by Internal Revenue Collect
or Trammen is one that should re
ceive the attention of the state democratic
committee. Mr. Baker personally, is a
clever gentleman; but it is asserted that
he is populist, not a democrat. From
what Mr.. Sease and other populist lead
ers have been teaching in this state, and
what they have said about Georgia demo
Gratis, there is deal of difference between
Mr.. Bakers party and that to which Mr.
Trammell is said to belong.
The Office to which Mr. Baker has been
appointed is not a very important one, it
is true; nevertheless the appointment Of
a pOpulist to that Office is a dangerous rec
ignition of a dangerous political element.
And, furthermore, there are numbers Of
straight democrats, competent men, who
would gladly have accepted the appoint
ment
The Democratic party cannot afford to
have appointed TO Offices within its gift
men who in the last campaign had nothing
but abuse for democrats and who on cleo
ton day did their utmost to assist demo
cratic defeat. No man should be APP
pointed TO Office until his political record
has been investigated and his democracy
found unimpeachable. Some few years
since an important appointment in this
state was given to and held for years by
man who took pleasure in stating on all
possible occasions (until he got an office,
that he was not a democrat. After his
appointment his declarations of political
faith were not so numerous. But in
close congressional election he threw the
weight of his influence against the demo
cratic nominee.
Democrats owe it to themselves, as mat
ter of self respect as well as matter of
policy, to protest against the appointment
to Office of men who are their political
opponents. 1t should be remembered that
in the south every effort towards the de-
feat of the democracy is indirectly an
effort contributing to the success of the
Republican party and black DONNA
tion.
The only safe rule to be observed by
democrats with offices to bestow is this
No man should be appointed who is not
and has not been at all times demo
crat

Stewart of Nevada.

Old Senator Stewart the patriarch from
Nevada, produces about two speeches per day

dispatch to the Chicago Herald No one
listens to him except the official stenogra-
pher, and he is paid big salary for doing it,
AS soon as Stewart rises, addresses the
chair and begins shaking his long bony. fin
gers everyone within hearing fees from the
punishment to come or takes refuge in book
or newspaper. Even the silver senators are
disguised and panied when the old man takes
the floor They wish they could suppress
him, but, unfortunately under the rules OF
the Senate debate, whether individual or col
Iective, is a thing not tobe suppressed Mr.
stewards colleague, Senator Jones, is one of
the great story tellers of the Senate and he
has some quaint and breezy language in
which to express his opinions of men and
things. When Mr.. Stewart grew unusually
earnest and dramatic during his attack upon
President Cleveland the other day throwing
his arms wildly about gazing tragically lat

a half starved coyote at dawn, Mr. Jones

A Courtsous Emneror.

Our Vienna correspondent, says the London
News, learns from Ischl of the following incl
dent, which is reported to have happened a
few days before the Emperor Joseph left that
lovely mountain city for the maneuVers in
Galcia. Two American ladies in Ischl have
maid with them who is a quadroon, speak
ing very imperfect German, and whosed duty
it is to lead beautiful little dachsund BY q
chain. When the ladies were out walking
one morning the dog tore himself away and
disappeared into a thicket The girl guessed
that the dog had entered private grounds but
jumped over the hedge and followed him Sud

asked her what she was looking for She

was the reply. The officer took silver whis-
tie out Of his pocket, and alternately called
and whistled for the dog, who did not respond,
though he was heard barking hoarsely in the
distance. Then forest guard came and the
officer told him to find the dog, and asking
the quadroon where the ladies lived told the
man to take ii to the hotel she named. He
then bowed politely and went his way. The
quadroon asked the forest guard who the gen
tleman was. When he told her that was our

himself and ran back TO tell the ladies. In
the evening an imperial servant appeared at
the hotel to ask whether the dog had been

whose time has expired; non-combatants,
