A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says that there are some serious OBJ
stacles to be overcome before the great
dry dock at Port Royal, which is de-
signed to accommodate the largest bat
lie ships. will be ready to be used. The
chief obstacle mentioned in the dispatch
is a bar. which juts out into the Atlantic
near the rivers mouth. This will have to
be dredged before ships of the largest
draught can cross it at all tides and in all
conditions of seas and weather. As there
is no money appropriated for that pur-
pose. it is likely to be some considerable
time before the largest of the vessels of
the navy viii be docked at Port Royal
Another trouble is the anchorage. With
reference to this the dispatch says: THE
in the vicinity of the dock. and the water
will not admit of vessels drawing over
twenty-one feet entering. Just at the
mouth of the cofferdam to the dock is a
shallow place, whichis now being dredged.
but with money provided some years ago.
and at the time the dock itself was au-
thorized Near this point there is about
twenty-five tn twenty-seven feet of water
at high tide, but the rise and fall there is
seven feet, so that a ship OF the In
diana's displacement would be five or six
feet in the mud every time the tide
dropped With the new 'metal-pot' YES
sells, as the steel ships are designated by
some of the older officers, this question of
allowing them to touch bottom at all is
one of great concern, and no captain
would want a modern steel ship to ground
even in mud"
The general impression all along has
been that at Port Royal the largest ships
ahoat were in no danger of meeting with
any obstacles, either on the bar or in the
anchorage. 1t is quite a disappointment
to find that this impression is erroneous,
and that the dredging machines will have
to do great deal of work before the bar
and the harbor will be at all satisfactory.
No doubt all these obstacles will be re-
moved eventually. Congress will appro-
pirate the necessary money for the work.
and within two or three years at the ut
most Port Royal will be able to accom-
modate the largest vessels Of the navy.
| In this connection it is a source of sat
isfaction to say that Savannah now has
a channel Of the depth of twenty-six feet
from her wharves to the sea, and in the
course of few months this channel will
be POO feet wide. With such an outlet to
the sea. accommodating, as it does, mer-
chant vessels Of about the largest class.
savannah's commerce is certain to grow
steadily IN volume.

Mckinley. Hnndshnke.

There is a new issue in American poll
tics Maj. Mckinley is responsible for it,
The question is this Is the good, old
fashioned. American handshake of the
office seeker to be suppanted by an i'm
ported fad? Is the supplanting mode Of
salutation to be the British jigger motion
known as the Prince of Wales shake? The
queries are apropos, and follow naturally
after the Hartford Courant's comments on
Maj. McKinley's shaking of hands during
his recent visit to that city. According to
the Courants account, the sturdy repub-
the hand of the Napoleon of Protection
were not only puzzled but annoyed. at
the way they finally got shaken. This was
the way of it: The visitors of the governor
thrust out their hands about on a level
with his watch pocket for a moment, felt
nothing but air, and ''the next moment a
soft white hand that lifted the Connecticut
hand kindly but firmly up to the level of
the statesman's left shoulder, held It there
fatty for a moment and then released it,"
That is the approved Prince of Wales
shake. There are variations to it, such
as turning the palm upwards to welcome
the new arrival and turning the palm
downward to speed the parting guest. But
the shoulder-high principle is the trade
mark, and the style is affected by all con-
sistent Anglomaniacs.
Does Maj. Mckinley not know that any
thing English" is in antagonism to the
republican idea of an American policy?
As a leader of his party. he must know
it. How, then. can he expect to pump
handle himself into the presidency with
a hand shake which, besides being I'M
natural, has the approval and patronage
of 1.-The first gentleman of England?" If
he had adopted the Hawaiian mode of sal
utation, or the Samoan mode-,a squat
with hands on knees while the head is
wagged three times-there would nave
been little ground for republican com
plant. But the Prince of Wales shake Is
clearly a concession to free trade that
republicans will not be apt to brook.
Think what feelings must have filled the
breast of the wooden nutmeg partisan of
protection and a vigorous foreign policy
to find the typical protectionist initiating
| the free traders
What does Mai. Mckinley mean. any
how? Does he hope to shake down the
barrier between himself and the tariff
reformers with the Prince OF Wales shake?
Does he hope to catch the young men in
politics by giving them something new?
The old stagers are hardly going to put
trade England; of which fact Mai. Nc
Kinley had better take cognizance and
lower his elbow

An Indignant Railway Porter.

There used to be an old porter at a
certain Irish railway station who was
more remarkable for independence of
character than attention to his duties.

were travelling over the line, and noticed
that the name of this station was not

was the delinquent, was promptly brought

He was very wroth that any one should

A story told by Private" John Allen of
Mississippi is being quoted as illustrating
why the silverites in several states are
so anxious to hold snap conventions for
the purpose of committing the democracy
to free silver. Mr.. Allen said that a farm
hand dropped his hoe in the cotton field
when a few drops of rain fell and ran to
the barn in such extraordinary haste that
he fell breathless upon the barn floor He
was asked why he ran so hard, and re-
piled that he was afraid it would stop
raining before he got to the barn. The
silverite craze is decreasing. If the leaders
do not make haste to commit the party to
their folly, "it viii quit raining before
they get to the barn"

The Income Tax Rehearing.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem

Even should Justice Jackson, in the
event of a rehearing being granted, decide
that the law is constitutional, the eXemp-
ton of bonds and rents would not be in
any way affected, as there was a large
majority Of the court in favor of the I'M
constitutiOnalty of that part of the law
1t would, therefore, be much better were
the entire law to be declared unconstitu-
tlonal. as, IN that event, 1t would clearly
be the duty OF congress to take steps to
provide additional revenue to supply the
deficiency caused by the failure of the
income tax as q REVENUE producer.
