and in build, machinery. speed and the
anticipated effectiveness in action fur
| nishes no gauge for comparison. The
Cushing is purely a Herschom product,
readapted to torpedo uses, while the
Ericsson is the result of careful study
by the naval department, and has been
built after the designs drawn by men
versed in that branch of naval con-
struction. So it will be seen that
there never has anything been COM
pleted in this country from which
comparison may be drawn, and it is
sufficient to demonstrate the Erics-
sons excellence by saying that Eng
land and France, with at least 800
| each of these boats, have nothing
superior, and it is doubtfulif anything
they have produced will ever equal
this unique craft.
This boat is $50 feet in length and
1511 feet beam in the widest section.
She will have displacement of 100
tons, and, while like all of her class,
will sit low in the water. Yet, when
ready for sea, she will need about AZ
feet of water to safely navigate. In
her after sections she resembles the
whaleback, with graceful lines drawn
in to the cigar-shaped termination, but
forward she holds her depth well, Civ
ing her smooth and unbroken lines to
the stem, and SO sharply drawn that
the least possible resistance is pro-
vided.
No greater care could possibly have
been taken than has been lavished
upon this vessel, every piece of mate
rial being subjected to a thorough and
scientific inspection, and nothing else
to go. Her frames are of steel and the
plating Of galvanized steel from
three-sixteenthst to one-fourth of an
inch in thickness. The work in com
pleting the hull has been slow on ac-
count of the excellence required, and,
as finished, is pronounced a master
piece by experts and government in
spectors.
In no part of her construction is SO
much interest taken as in the machin-
cry. Bearing in mind that the speed
requirement is twenty-four knots, it
follows that the propelling power must
be something more than ordinary, and
it is dos btful if a finer set of engines
was ever built in this country, ana no
boat of the size of the Ericsson has
ever been provided with greater devel-
pped power.
She has two engines of the vertical
Inverted cylinder, quadruple expansion
typa. which, together. make remark
able amount of machinery for boat
of its size. The high pressure cylinder
has a bore of eleven and one-half
inches; the first intermediate. sixteen
inches; the second intermediate, TWEEN
ty-one and one-half inches, and the
low pressure, thirty inches. with
general stroke of the piston of sixteen
inches. The twin screws are made of
magnesia bronze and are four feet seven
inches in diameter. These engines are
expected to develop two thousand
horse power.
The steam supply is to come from two
Thornycraft boilers. one placed in the
section Immediately front and the
other aft of the engines They were
built here under royalty to the Eng
lish patentees, and are remarkable in
more ways than one. The principle on
which these boilers are constructed is
not new. but is seemingly carried TO
the limit. The fues or the tubes con-

An Indication That Tariff Reform L. still

1t is natural, perhaps. that the repub-
Hcan press should endeavor to belittle
the democratic victory il, the congress
ional election in McKinley's old dis
trict in Ohio, but the very effort they
make in that behalf shows that they
appreciate the full significance of the
victory. They may well do so. There
has been good deal of chatter in the
organs of the party about ''reaction in
public sentiment" concerning the Nc
Kinley tariff and good deal of exulta-
ton over republican victories here and
there, but it is worthy of note that this
election is the first that has been held
since the revolution in 1892, in which
the Mckinley issue was fairly and
squarely raised
The followers of Mckinley realized
this and made extraordinary efforts to
carry the district which he himself car
ried in the gubernatorial election by a
majority of nearly six hundred. They
had in their favor the hard times, the
dissatisfaction so widespread over the
delay in passing the tariff reform meas
ure. the help of the American Protect
i've association and the customary "off
year" indifference. But with all these
advantages they were beaten by sub
stantially the same majority which the
democratic candidate had in 1892. No
wonder the republican organs are
whisthug to keep their courage up,
for so long as the country clin3s to
tariff reform when tariff reform is in
issue the carrying of a few municipal
or even state elections for the 2. o. D.
on other issues will be of small avail
The value of the election to the DEM
ocracy Is in the indication it affords
that the alleged reaction" has not re-
acted and that the people have not yet
abandoned their hope of tariff reform
or their intention to secure it--Detroit

M'KINLEY AS A NAPOLEON.
Indications That the TInseI Emperor
Waterloo Is at END. !

1t has become fashionable In politics,
finance and trade to hail any man who
is phenomenally successful as a Napo-
leon The man who accepts the title
should not forget that the history of
Napoleon which does not include Wa

1t looks now as if the roung Napo-
leon Mckinley might reach his Water
loo sooner than even his opponents pre-
dicted. His admins tration Of affairs
in Ohio is overcast He has failed to
meet the expectations of his friends
There are ugly rumors, and what re-
Gently were surmises only have now be-
come facts. There are Irregularities and
shortages and scandals in his admins
tration, scarce three years old ThaS9
are accusations and elimination and re-
elimination There are attempted ex-
plantations which only confoHnd.
And in the midst of the confusion
Gov. Mckinley seeks to divert atteu-
ton by going hither and yon, mounted
in his old armor, and rsllying wherever
he can his party followers to follow his
plume, and his eyes turn to the white
house. Meanwhile he leaves his owa
capital behind about which there Is ga
uglier growth, and around which there
are more scandals than were ever BE-
fore known in the history of Ohio
II some of those who are fond Of
calling the governor a Napoleon would
read the history of the Corsician en-
peror. they might find SOME similarity
between sections of the latter's history
and the governor Of Ohio as he appears
to-day. When Napoleon realized the
unrest of his own capital he sought 10
divert 1t by invading another. Gov.
Mckinley knows what he has brought
upon Ohio, and he turns toward the
administration at Washington and
rails at it and tells the people what
would be the difference if he were pres

Is absolutely opposed TO tariff REFORM
When, thirty-three years ago. the re-

principles promulgated in the 7declsra-

it will be remem bered that. in spite OF
the war which the slave-owners waged
against the government there were
not few anti-slavery men in our north

England, WHO believed that the
republican party was not fulfilling it,

party has pledged ITSELF TO embody in

in the original. She played and sang
to me; she told me all about this
strange region, with its natural won
ders- 1 told her of the White noun
tains and the granite hills, the snow
storms and the cold of winter All
these things she had read of, but she
listened to my stories as though they
were leaves from some fairy chronicle.
And, most charming of all, we would
wander by the moonlight through the
oak and magnolia grove; through the
wide fields green with the cane leaves,
to the edge of the impenetrable cy-
press swamps, where the cry of the
pelican and the splash of the alligator
could be heard.
Did reflect as to whittier all this
was tending? Did it occur to me that
the seed was sowing could only come
to a bitter harvest of impossible
ties? In fact, took no thought about
it. 1 let the dream go on-the en-
trancing, enrapturing dream!
But my time was not all passed in
this way. I became well acquainted
with LIE Fevre, and found that he was
much more blunt than brutal; though
the negroes all stood in fear of him.
He took me over the plantation and
explained the processes of cane-grow-
ing, cutting and grinding. We went
over to New Orleans, put up for three
days at the ST. Charles, and examined
the wonders of the crescent river
front with it's forest of smoke-pipes
and the busy scenes of the 1evee. We
strolled in the French quarter OF this
unique city, which, within less than a
century, has been under Spanish,
French and American government; we
visited the market; we rode in the sub
urbs on the hard and shining shell
roads. Back again at the La Fourche
plantation, we went over to the ancient
French town of Thibodeaux, and dined
at an inn, where, except the bread, 1
knew not the name of single dish
that ate.
It was to me season of glamour, a
happy time, that l knew must end,
somehow; yet 1 was treated precisely
as though were to remain forever. I
wished not to break the spell; and it
was only to test Mr.. Bostock's feelings
iowa I'd me that said to him one day,
when we were alone:
81 have been with you six weeks; is
that not pretty long visit?''
He reused himself and looked
troubled.
''You don't think of leaving me,
Dorr?''
"Why, sir-you know I've got my
own way to make, somewhere. This
is all pleasure and vacation"
''You like it here, then?'
''Indeed I do, sir. Everything is
charming
''Stay, then. 1t does me good to have
you here. Stay till November, anyway.

''Tell me whenever you do. Enjoy
yourself all you can-and don't think
of going. I loved your father; I love
you
His hand was laid affectionately on
my shoulder; mist shone in his
weary eyes.
So that was settled-for time. I
was not to leave him-nor Coralie.
But that night in my dreams the warn
ing face of Mr.. Dorion came to me,
and / seemed to hear his words again:
''There is fearful mystery hanging
over his past life. do not know, you
do not know, how you may become
complicated with it, if you persist in.

standing in front OF the stranger.
''What dye mean, coming here to
trouble sick man? You go, or I'll
find way to help you"
80, very well. If Mr.. Bostock won't
see me, he'll hear of me. May be he'd
like to have me take turn around La
Fourche and talk with the planters
about old times. Good evening"
He turned on his heel.
''StopT'' said Mr.. Bostock. s'Ten him
to come in"
He rose and walked into the parlor.
The stranger followed. Perhaps due
regard for social propriety should have
restrained me from following; but the
impulse to do SO, growing out of my
recognition of the voice and my power
full interest in Mr.. Bostock, was ire
sistible. As for the pugnacious over
seer, the sharp words that he had had
with the stranger and the constraint
under which the planter was acting
were sufficient reasons to cause him to
go in also.

planting corn in the cracks of the
rocks up north, Ell? No, you won't
talk about going away, Dorr Jewett."
So he rambled on, wreck of mind
as well as body, continually striving
to struggle out of the gloom in which
he was involved, and to reach back
ward to familiar faces and scenes.
burst of melody shook the air; a
clear, pure voice, singing a merry
French song. Mr.. Bostock raised his
head, and new intelligence gave mo-
mentary luster to his eyes.
"Ah, that's Coraliel'' he said. "You
shall see Coralie. Here she comes.''
