MORE TARIFF MEDDLING.

1t is very noticeable that our Demo-
cratic and 'independent' contempora =
ries are extremely solicitous lest the Re-
publicaus should disturb the present
tariff. "The country has made up its
mind to try the present tariff, and to
judge it by its fruits" is the sapient
remark Of the Boston Herald.
1t is true that no one else has observed
any such tendency on the part of the
country, but The Herald is not troubled
by any such ridiculous things as facts,
when il has a theory Of its own that uits
it perfectly. An ordinarily careful OBJ
server would have said that the country
has already weighed the present tariff
and found il wanting, as the elections in
every Northern and the conditions in
many Southern states amply demon
strate.
State after State has pronounced
against this infamous tariff bill, and this
fall the nation will express its verdict
and THE News believes that 1T will be
so overwhelmingly against this GoRMAN
monstrosity that those responsible for
its enactment will learn what it is to
offend and betray nation of freemen.
But the Republicans cannot disturb
this what-is-it-tarH for three years
even if successful and the most that can
be hoped is that the peoples Indignation
will be SO marked at the polls that the
ing promised both by President CLEvE-
LAND and Mr.. WILSON will be warded
off.
Both have publicly proclaimed that
only the first step has been taken, and
that others are to follow, and unless
salutary lesson is taught them they will
persist in keeping the business and in
dustrial world in ferment until they
are kicked out of Office and their places
filled by men who are desirous of reviv-
lug prosperity, and of legislating in the
interest of American instead of foreign
industries.
The independent papers, so called, see
the foolishness and madness of this con-
tinual tariff meddling and are in vain
attempting to oprevent it by dilsting upon
the necessity of waiting until the pres
ent law has been given "a fair trial"
The Boston Herald. which denounced the
GoRMAN bill in unmeasured terms,
now hastens to declare that "no tariff
bill ever was perfect, and this one can,
doubtless, be improved in some parts;
but there is no occasion TO change it in
degree that calls for new crusade, or
even the very active continuance of an
old one."

RUSSlA'S BIG FLEET
Will Have Much to Do With Japanese
Movements in COrea.

LONDON, oct. lS.--The Times today pub
fishes a dispatch from Tien-Tsin saying
that japanese papers received at that place
afford negative evidence that the report
circulated three weeks ago of the dispatch
Of an army corps from Hiroshima for the
invasion of China was true, any such
expedition being rendered impossible by
the shattered condition of the japanese
d,et
The dispatch adds that perhaps Japan
begins TO reflect OH the problem OF the
eventual extrication of her troops from
Corea, where they remain on the suffer
ance of the maritime powers, especially
Russia, who Is sending II additional ships,
including three ironclsds. Russia will
thus have the most formidable feet ever
assembled east of Sucz.
News from the 'front.' Is scarce. The
Chinese headquarters ia at Chuleang-
Cheng, General Singy In command, Gen
erals Yeh and Web having been degraded.
The japanese headquarters Is az Ping
Yang. Their outposts I'm the direction OF
the Yalu river seem to be occupied in road
makins.

1t was stated that had the trial been In
90 to 30 fathoms of water, instead Of in
or 10, q much better horse power
would have resulted.
BY noon the big ship was under way
from the anchorage of New London,
Conn. As soon as the Names anchor was
hoisted she was sent along at n good rate
Of speed from the entrance to New London
harbor until abreast Of Watch Hill. Here
she was turned about and headed toward
the Sound.
At 1880 o'clock everything was In readi-
ness for the trial to begin, and a moderate
forced draught was put on. The ship was
heading straight into Q northwester and
the wind was also against her. She went
along at q lb-knot gait, and there was
scarcely any vibration observable on
board, notwithstanding the velocity with
which her machinery was being driven.
Showed . speed Of 10 Knots.
Just as the ship was passing Race Rock
lighthouse she was making Is knets an
hour, but between the Bartlett Reef and
Cornfield lightships, q distance Of 1lK
miles, her time was <8 minutes. The gen
eral verdict Is that she will be an ie-knot
boat.
The force of the wind and the velocity of
the ship caused the spray to wash over
board from bow to stern, and frequently
u went over the bridge and pilot house.
This not being trial Of speed. but one
Of the development Of horse power, the
most interesting work took place below
decks The corps of expert ensineers took
eight half lf-hourly observations of the main
engines, cylinders and other parts Of the
vIa - hs.r ~ Ia
tions was found 10 be l27, and the average
steam pressure l4l.
Engineer Melville was not very COM
municative after the trial was concluded,
but he said that the engines had worked
satisfactorily, and there was no doubt that
the horse power would reach, IL not exceed,
the requisite 1900.
One OF the Finest In the World.
Pilot Arcularius who took the Maine
up from the Brooklyn navy yasd last Sat.
urday, said that she was one of the
finest OF her class in the world He par.
ticularly mentioned the easy manner in
which she answered the helm, and said
that her steering gear worked perfectly.
When the four hours allotted for the
trial were up, the ship was of Stratferd,
Conn She continued to run ut fair rate
of speed until Whitestone was abeam.
The anchor was then dropped, and the big
battleship remained there until this
morning as Captain Bunce did not con-
slider il safe 20 have her pass through Hell
Gate during the night.
Today she will be brought down to the
navy yard. and as soon rs possible her
barbettes will be completed and her guns
placed in position.

Tea drinking among men has all at once
excited discussion. But it does not ap-
pear to be known, says contemporary,
that nearly all men of literary habits who
exhaust nerve force take TO tea drinking.
Edwin Booth used to have pot of tea
simmering in his stage dressing room.
Preachers, orators and lawyers find a cup
of strong tea the gentlest and most harm
less OF brain bracers, and it has no reac-
hon. The reason why young men affect
to despise tea drinking is that they asso-
ciate 1t with eclining power and old wo-
men. But Il e truth is that tea, II of a
pure kind anC properly drawn, is about as
innocuous ah | pleasant stimulant as a
young man ci 4 resort to after long wor-
ry or drain tf emotional or Intellectual
force. II it cn Id be made to take the place
