After various delays. the fast flyer Co.
lumbia Is this week 10 have her official speed
trial along the New England coast. The enor-
nous premium OF 100000 for every quarter
Knot she may make in excess OF her contract
with an equally great penalty for each quarter
knot OF shortcoming. furnishes all the stimulus
required to her builders for putting forth their
utmost skill and eXertions to secure a brilliant
result But II anything moro were needed it
might be the triumph Just achieved by tho
Olympia. which. in her recent unofficial trial
on the Pacific coast. is said to have exceeded
u knots. beating the record OF tho cruiser
New York by quarter o. knot. or course.
as the New ior!: is an armorclad. OF much
heavier displacement. the comparison Is hard
ly between vessels OF the same tyne: and it
does not appear from the dispatches that the
Olympia made an average Of pa knots during
four consecutive hours. Still. as the jubilant
Californians claim for her tho title OF Queen
OF the cruiser fleet" the Phaderhians natu-
rally desire to transfer promptly as possible
these regal honors to the olumbia.
That they are likely to do so the unofficial
trials OF the latter vessel clearly show. Her
contract calls for twenty-one knots. which is a
fall knot in excess OF the stipulated speed OF
the Olympia. and it is also expected that sho
will make at least a knot in excess Of her guar
antee. or twenty-five knots as her average on
the trial. Since she Is much larger vessel
than the Olympia, her steam machinery has
been made much more powerful. its maximum
indicated horse power being. az planned a.
600 against 1880 for the Pacific coast vessel
The sustained sea speed Of the Columbia is ex-
pected to be twenty-oue knots. while quito as
noteworthy is her steaming radius. which Is
TO reach $4,000 or 10000 knots. or about
double that of fha plvmu;u M mi hla tha
latter is.
1t may fairly be said that no American war
vessel yet launched has excited a greater in
terest In her trial trip. She is provided with
triple screws. being the first OF our war ships
to use this DEVICE and although it Is found on
where 1t has worked successfully. yet the Co.
lumbia is the largest ship that has ever en-
ploycd it.
But the Columbia's chief attraction is her
speed. When she was designed, Secretary
TRACY spoke OF her rs having "a sea speed
and coal endurance hitherto unknown in
ships OF war. She will be match for the most
swift Transatlantic liner afoat to-day. This
vessel Is absolutely without parallel among
the war ships OF tho world" The ocean racers
Paris and New York were aloat at that time
but the Campania and Iucana have since
been completed. No doubt is felt that the
Columbia will make great record in this
weeks run. and that she and the Minneapolis
Will prove treasures to our feet.

The Panagathoi.

Some excellent members OF tho Union
League Club want to have that somewhat
humorous political quantity appear as a re-
uniting all good men" in an attempt to
beat Tammany Hall and get control OF the
government OF this town. OF course tho
Mugwumps are hystcrical with happiness
ut the thought. and OF course those astuto
unattached politicians who make n living
out of nom partisan movements, scent occu-
patton from afar.
There is melancholy record of failures to
sadden the prospects of the hopefulS. but il
the gentlemen VINO want to unite all good
men" are resolved to go on. We shall be
versions Of tho town. 1t is well to remind
these ingenious souls. however. Of two diff
iiculties that will beset them. Even into an
aggregation OF all good men. bad men will
creep, wolves in sleeps clothing, and they
will slaughter the innocents ut the polls.
And the Republicans. including largo
number OF men who are very bad from this
Mugwump point OF view. and bad enough
from the point of view of the Union League
Club, will continue TO insist that all good
men il-dsposed toward Tammany shall
vote the Republican municipal ticket. The
Republicans have no objection to good men
who are not too good to vote tho Repub-
lican ticket; no others need apply.
We hope the Panagatho will appear and
be counted. but We cannot conceal Sis
picion that tho path laid out for them will
be mighty rocky for tenderieet.

Mr.. Wilson, and his state is perhaps
one of the largest producers of iron
and coal in the country. Tarnsney,
of Missouri, let go zinc and lead.
Stevens, of Massachusetts sacrificed

in fact, in which he has nearly every

In fact you can go through the
whole gamut with the committee and
every man let go something, every
man made a concession to the public

tention here at the present time-the
fact that the special industries of the

LEAD MINING In IDAHO.

THE News has been told every day
In the week and on Thanksgiving Day
too that Stree lead" would kill the
mining industry in Idaho and shut up
every mine in the Ceur d Alenes.
For months past it has been accepted
as certainty that Mr.. Wilson would
place lead on the free list. According
to expectations he has done so, but ii
does not appear there has been any
reduction in lead quotations since the
PRONUNCIATION of the tariff bill.
And as touching the mining inter.
est in the Ceur d Alenes it takes the
following from the Anaconda Stand
ard of the 28th inst
MIssoULA, Nov. 27.-Joseph Poyn
ton, ex.secretary of the Miners union
at Wallace, is in the city on business
and to a Standard reporter last even.
ing he stated that the condition of af
fairs in the Ceur d. Alenes is better
than it has been for two years. All
the mines except the Tiger are being
worked more or less extensively and
the question of wages is being settled
satisfactorily 70 the more conservative
OF the miners and there is every indi
cation of reasonably prosperou;
season in the country. That Is graft
flying to the friends of the Ceur d
Alene country, which under good cir
cumstances is certain to become one
of the best sections in the world. Its
mines are known to be extensive and
if they can be worked through the
present hard times and the country
kept alive they will become famous
as ore producers.
Mr.. Boynton says that the general
feeling is one of confidence and that
the people believe that their troubles
are at an end. New business houses
are opening up and the indications are
that after one or two pay days the
towns will resume their former pros
perlty. The Tiger company, the only
one not working its mines, has order
ed provisions for its boarding house
and il is believed that in a few days
every one Of the Occur d'Alene mines
will be in operation.
The outgoing train this morning
carried large shipments OF merchan.
disc for Occur d'Alene points. Local
merchants are already feeling the good
effects of the resumption of business
by the mines of that section.

NOW YOU HAVE 1T.

Chairman Wilson, of the Ways and
Means committee of the House OF
Representatives, has promulgated his
tariff bill in part
What he has given to the public, as
we understand it, covers only the Gus
toms and administrative features of
the bill.
By it a reduction of $50, 900, 900 in
duties is made. Provisions for rails
ing two-thirds of this amount from
other sources are necessary and will
be promptly made before the bill is
offered in the House.
THE News does not expect the bill
as presented to become law. Many
changes will be suggested and made
as discussion progresses. But that it
will pass as a whole in a manner ac-
ceptable to the Democratic party we
have not shadow of doubt.
The protectionists will fight it from
the start Every Krupp's gun, every
Columbiad, every Gatlin gun and
every howitzer at their command will
be turned against it, but with all their
shot and shell they will never batter
it down.
THE NEWS is pleased that the com
mittee has made bold move in the
direction of redeeming its party
pledges and fulfilling the promises
upon which its great victory in 1892
was won. We do not say that the
bill as presented is altogether just the
one wanted, because it is yet incom,
plete, but so far as given it is in the
line mapped out and in accordance
with the party's mission for work on
earth.
