OUR WAR SHIPS.

dispatch from Washington to the
New York Sun gives the information
that Admiral Ramsey. Chief OF the Blu
reau Of Navigation, U. S. ~. has been
collecting some interesting facts con-
corning the ordinary cruising perform
ances of the new warships of our navy /"
and among other statictics gathered by
Admiral Ramsey, the dispatch gives the
following:
The cruiser New York, for instance,
is rated in all official publications as n
2l-knot ship. From August, 1894. to Oc-
tober. 1885, the best run she made was
at the rate of il knots an hour, which
was from kiel to Gravcsend. q distance
OF $50 knots, at the close of the canal
celebration. burning l37 tons of coal.
From Gravesend 10 New York she made
IA knots. burning So tons Of coal for
3,0S9 knots; but her average for the yea +
was about 10 knots
The Columbia. rated officially at OBS
knots, from New York to Southampton
made l55 knots, and burned 1920 tons
of coal for S,3l5 knots. While return
ing under orders TO make a record she
accomplished is knots. burning 1853
tons Of coal for 3.1l2 knots.
The Minneapolis is generally, and no
doubt correctly. believed TO be the fast
est war ship afoat, if pushed. She is
Idteu al 25Ui3 Knots, having averaged
that for four hours between Cape Ann
and Cape Porpoisc. Her best speed the
past year was 1i.3 knots, made on q run
from Norfolk TO New York
The Baltimore. rated at 2096 knots,
flagship of the China station, presume
bly, had some hurried orders during the
recent Oriental excitement. yet her
highest recorded speed wes 1877 knots.
when she burned Ill tons of coal going
2l2 knots. In the opinion of naval cX-
perts she was doing almost her best, yet
she developed less than 13 knots
The Chicago was not in good condi-
tion last year, and has now been laid
up for two years repair. Her record is
1910 knots, and the best she did was
81 knots. The Philadelphia. with her
record of 1867 knots. attained a maxim
of 1912. while the Newark accomplished
81 Instead of her rated 10 knots"
Assuming that the above figures are
correct, and. no doubt. they are, it is
shown that neither OF the ships men
toned have ever attained a speed
which approached that made on their
trial trips before their acceptance by the
Government. Referring to this fact, the
Washington Post says:
The implication is that the speed OBJ
tanned on trial trips is the result of
skilled jockeying" resorted to by the
builders In order to attain an apparent

EUGENE FIELD.

With the death of Eugene Field 81
light goes out In every home In the
land whose nrcside his contributions
helped to brighten Mr.. Field was
one of Americas sweetest poets, whose
writings brought him close to the
hearts of the people, and thousands
who were delighted by his humor, or
touched by the tender pathos oil his
song, will be equally panied by his UNI
timely end. OF him the Baltimore
Herald says. that, like many OF his
countrymen, he was first a journalist and
then writer of books. To the last
he remained true to the guild. and
never sought to rise above the daily
newspaper rs the agency of publicity.
All the best Of his poems were prepared
for the several newspapers for which
he has worked, and out of the winurow
of their files he has selected from
time to time few sheafs of grain for
more substantial garnering. But to
the end he was the journalistic poet
the companionable friend, and the true
exponent Of the times In which he
lived"

"Party Harmony"

A meeting of the democratic
voters of North East was called last
week "with a view to party har-
mony.'' That thing called 'party
harmony" in the democrat ship
appears to be as delicate and difficult
to adjust as a chronometer watch.
Even our staid and steady ancient
friend, DIR. Mackall has fears for
the machines correct time and
exhOrts the navigatOrs to be very
careful while running in the pre-
sent shoal water with rocks and
breakers in sight and hearing and
counter currents threatening to
carry it out of the old channel
where it has run for 80 years with
out an accident, well freighted with
the spoils of Office for the under
writers will insure no other cargo.
The Doctor has made slight mis-
take in reading his log, no doubt
attributable to failing eyesight.
Thirty eight years carries us back
to the OLD days before the war.
During the war and for some years
after, the democratic craft, with
Thomas jefferson for figure head,
was not seen in Maryland political
waters. A lugger craft named
conservative" in the mean time
attempted several voyages but
always got stranded and never was
able to reach the port. The Doctors
democracy is of the undoubted
simon pure, Jetfersonian quality
but like many other honest men, he
has not discovered that the "party"
has thrown it all overheard long
ago and cruises for spoils only.
We greatly fear the "harmony"
indicator will never be fixed to run
again as Jefferson made it, by the
pilots and captains of the democrat
party. They never take obserya-
lions on the steady luminary of
principle, but follow the movements
of the cratic comet of spOils.

1t is interest that is killing this repub-
lie, the whole social fabric being covered
over with the leeches of usury sucking at
every pore. Industry struggles to fur
nish nourishment for these leeches and is
dying in the attempt. Take our foreign
interest drain alone, DIR. Giffen, England's
famous expert on such figures, calculating
that this country owes European investors
twenty-five billion dollars, and that its
annual interest payments thereon amount
to ebout $25o, 900, 900. The chief remedy
against the giant evil of usury lies in the
establishment of government paper
currency and system of government
banks of savings and loans to control and
distribute it, not for private gain as now,
but for the public good.-Farmers
