THE boasted efficiency of the navy de-

amongst other things, by the fact that

proven an absolute failure. Hey pneu-
matte guns are entirely worthless, as has
been proved by number of tests, and
the proposition TO convert her into an

by her unfitness even for that humble

A NBRVY LIAR.

Whenever a blatherskite is turned
loose there 10 no telling where be will
land. A fine specimen OF this noble
bird is Editor j. s. Clarkson, CON monty
knows as "headsman" Clarkson when
he was an assistant postmaster-general
under Harrison, whom he betrayed,
though abortively. He has lately been
devoting himself at the reunion OF Re
publican clubs at Louisville to berating
Mr.. Cleveland'e administration, and not
to put too fine a point on 1t, lying whole
sale. The new administration has as
yet hardly had time to take shape. Par
tizanship in its way 10 very good thing,
and we shall certainly take no excep.
ton TO the party OF ell the decency and
all the morality pulling itself together
II it can. But hear this consummate
demagogue:
We have had Democratic president
and congress sixty days, and Cleveland
has hauled down the American flag
where Harrison and the Republicans
ran it up in the name of liberty in the
Sandwich islands. He and his score
tary OF the treasury have already fright
ened the business world and created AN
easinese and fear where safety and pros
perity ruled before. They have shown
an adverse balance in the foreign trade
in the last four months OF $50 ,000, 900
against favorable balance OF $40 600, 900
in the first four months OF HarriHon'e
administration.
This dispenser of windy suspiration
Of forced breath" cannot hold himself
together through two sentences. In one
he correctly says that Cleveland has
only been in power sixty days. and in
the next he makes that gentlemsn's sd-
ministration responsible for the balance
oil trade for period Of four months.
This ingenious system OF logic leaves out
OF view the fact that two and two do not
mako eight, nor can they be made to do
so by any system OF ratiocination. What
Clarkson seems to have utterly forgotten
is that when Mr.. Cleveland turned over
the treasury OF the United States to
Harrison in 1889 there were 1894 900 600
millions of gold in it, while when Mr..
Harrison turned 1t over to
Mr.. Cleveland in 1898, that
sum had dwindled to $4,000 600
or triae lees. We have here alone a
neat little difference of $88 200 600,
which was "blown in, language and
practice both of which are of Repub.
lican origin. In fact, the language was
fabricated for the occasion by the silver
tongued Tom Fitch, who hit the matter
exactly between wind and water. I'm
der the circumstances it requires con-
summate impotence for this glib talker
Clarkson to try to hold Mr.. Cleveland
and his administration responsible for
an extravaganza that has left the treas
ury denuded of coin and which came
very near precipitating financial crisis.
False pretence and Misrepresentation
count for nothing with men like Clark
