An1nvestieation Necessary.

The statements that are being made
daily in the public prints, to the effect
that the half has not yet been told of the
armor plate frauds, make it absolutely
necessary that there shall be very
thorough investigation of the charges.
What the public want is the truth. They
are perfectly willing that the Carnegie
company shall have fair and impartial
hearing. indeed. that is the kind of a
hearing that it is desired the company
shall have, and they would be glad if it
should appear that the charges are with
out foundation--that the plates which
protect the vessels of the new navy are
sound, and fully up to the required stand
ard
There are grounds, however, for think
ing the charges true. The Carnegie COM
company has already paid $40, 900 to the
government as a penalty for supplying
defective plates 1t would not have done
that if it could have shown that the
charge was false.
But the part of the armor plates for
which that penalty was imposed was only
a small part Of the plates furnished to
the government, and the charges now
made cover a much larger portion of the
plates than the original charge. 1t is
also insinuated that both Mr.. Carnegie
and MIR. Frick, the manager of the Carne-
gle company, were aware that the frauds
were being committed-that inferior
plates were being palmed off on the gov
| eminent.
The situation has become extremely Sc
rious for the Carnegie company. If the
| company has dealt fairly with the gov
| eminent it should court an investigation.
But whatever the attitude of the Carne-
gle Company may be the government can
not afford to let the charges pass unno-
ticed. It's duty is to probe them thor
oughly and to punish TO the full extent of
the law all who may be found guilty of
wrong doing.
But what about the government in
| spectors stationed at the Carnegie mills3
| We're they incompetent How could the
| government have been imposed upon to
| the extent charged if they were quail
| fed for their duties2 If they were not
| qualified, is not the government RESPONSE
BILE for putting them in such responsible
places without being thoroughly satisfied
| of their FINEST
The country will not be satisfied until
it knows the extent of the frauds, if any
have been committed. and if the charges
are sustained it will insist that an ex-
ample be made of the guilty parties.

How the ,Phone Works

An Annapolis Capital reporter was in Mr..
Jones book store the other day on business
when his attention was called to a couple of
darkies who were attentively listening to
the conversation which q gentleman was
carrying on with a friend in Baltimore v
means of the telephone. The older of the
two colored men, who was apparently in the
neighborhood of s. years of age was to all ap-
pearances totally ignorant of the use of the
phone, while the younger man was endeaVOr-
ing to explain the workings to him. But the
old man could not he convinced that the
gentleman was in reality talking to someone
in Baltimore.
shortly afterward the two men left the
store and started down Main street, with the
reporter In their wake.
Look a heah, Mister Taylah" said the old
man. you make me telieve dat man in Mis-
tab Jones sto' could heah what da man in
Baltimo saidt'
why certainly, you don't understan' de
fosiphy, replied the other. Now suppose
dar was great long dog, dat had long tail
dat would reach from Baltimo to 'Naplis."
what's dat got to wild it?n interrupted the
other.
'Hol on dar now till I 'spIains Mistah
jackson. and you see what OATS got to do wild
it. Well, as l said hefo suppose dar was a
great long dog dat reached from Baltimo' to
: llls-, hol on now, hol on-and his head
was in Baltimo and his tail in Naplis"
We'll, interrupted his friend.
'Hol on OAR, 'hol on, amt got to de mint
yet, and YOU was 10 pinch dc tail of dat dog,
wouldn't de dog bark in Baltimo:"
Oats So said the old darkey II never
thought of dat beto'. But since YOU have
'splained de tosphy of de machine so per
spicultously, reckon dat the man could talk
to Baltimo."
The old man was chuckling softly to
himself as they turned down into Market
space.

RedeeminR of the Pledges.

1t seems reasonably certain that the
Wilson bill will be passed by the Senate
within the next thirty days. And it will
be passed mainly through the efforts of
the administration. The democrats of
the finance committee have been in con-
sultation with Secretary Carlisle and
it is announced that the changes that
have been agreed upon make it accept
a bic to all the democratic senators. That
being the case. the bill will be brought TO
a vote and passed just as soon as the re-
publicans get tired of making tariff
speeches.
With the passage Of the Wilson bill
three of the most important pledges in
the national democratic platform will
have been redeemed, namely, the pledge
to repeal the federal election laws,
the pledge to the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
silver law and the pledge to re-
duce the tariff. Only one other really
important pledge will then remain to be
redeemed, and that is the pledge to re-
peal the 10 per cent. tax on state bank is
sues. The administration is said to be in
AdNOA VI A0pCd mug budb bdA5 anu bhCAC 10
no good reason TO doubt that it will be
repealed, though not unconstitutionally.
The administration is entitled to the
credit for the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver law,
and it now looks as if it would
get the credit for reducing the
tariff. No one will deny that it
was the Presidents determined stand
in favor of the bill stopping the purchase
of silver that forced that measure through
the House and Senate. The democrats
were divided among themselves in respect
to the bill and it is certain that it would
have been defeated had it not been for the
skill, judgment and irmness he displayed.
Republicans and some democrats have
criticised him for not calling congress
together sooner to repeal the silver pur-
chase law, but fair-minded men now adj
NIT that if he had done so the law would
not have been repealed. II required an
object lesson to force the Senate to do its
duty, and even that, without the personal
influence exerted by the President in be-
half of sound money, would not have been
sufficient.
The wilson bill dragged along in the
Senate, clouded with doubt as to whether
or not it would be passed, until the ad-
ministration took hold of it and shaped it
so as to command for it solid democratic
support. 1t will go through the Senate
now, notwithstanding the efforts the
Presidents enemies among the democrats
have made to defeat it.
The state bank tax question will be
taken up soon and a safe measure allow
ing state banks to issue notes will be
adopted, and there are indications that it
will be the administration influence that
will secure its adoption. If the demo-
Gratis were united there would be great
promptness in carrying out the pledges of
the national democratic platform. Their
divisions, together with the hostility of
the politicians to the President, compli-
Gates the situation. The pledges will be
redeemed, however, and the administra-
ton will have large share of the credit
for redeeming them.
