Carnegie's Pull.

tO6tSo WV VI VIZ 80 AiDA
plates which Carnegie had offered
as a sample of the lot which he
proposed to use on one of our new
battle-ships.
The test was made at Indian
Head under the usual rules, and
the plate cracked under the test.
OThe missile fred against it broke
it. Ordinarily, the sample being
defective, the goods would be re-
jected.
Mr.. Carncgie's part of the con-
tract is to furnish plates which
will not break. The test was or
dered by the Government for the
purpose of determining whether he
had come up to his contract or not.
The cracking of the plate proved
officially and publicly that he had
not done so.
Therefore, by all the known rules
governing business transactions, it
seemed that the Carnegie plate ar
NOR would be rejected.
But not so; Mr.. Hebert, Secre-
tsry of the Navy, having ordered
the test and having been notified of
its failure, promptly announced
that he would accept the entire lot
of Carnegie's armor, anyhow.
Then why go through the farce
OF having tests madei
If Carnegie has such pull with
the Government that the contracts
with him bind the Government
without binding him, we ought ito
save the time, trouble and expense
of useless tests of his defective
material. We ought to accept
whatever he offers, without any
tests.
Last year Carnegie was caught
in the act of swindling the Govern
lnent out of several hundred tLous-
and dollars.
Commodore Sampson, Of the
Navy, and Congressman Cummings,
OF the House Naval COMMITTEE,
made official reports in which Car
negie's systematic and gigantic dis
honesty was clearly shown.
MIR. Herbert himself reported to
the same effect to President Cleve
laud.
* The fact that colossal swiudle
had been perpetratcd upon the
Government was so apparent that
Mr.. Cleveland had to realize it and
take action.
He compounded the felony by
letting Carnegie off with a money
payment which left him in full pos
session of all the sums paid him for
the faulty material and more than
800, 900 in premiums.
Premiums are extra sums paid
by the Government as an induce
msnt TO honesty in contracts.
Mr.. Carnegie's punishment con.
sisted in being made to refund part
of this extra pay.
Now when il is remembered that
Carnegie ought to have been pros
ecuted for ielonious practices, the
fact that he was let off with "a nOm-
inal fine, is proof of the high favor
lie enjoys with our Democratic
bosses.
I But this is not all. He cOntin-
ues to get fat contracts from the
people he was detected in swind.
ling; aud his popularity with the
powers that be, since his return
from England, has so far advanced
that he can now make any sort OF
plate armor he likes, and the Gov
eminent accepts it.
If the test shows the plates to
be bad, the Navy takes the entire
lot just as promptly as if the test
lad shown them to be good.
A pull like that which Carnegie
enjoys both in England and in the
United States is most convincing
illustration Of the power IF money,
judiciously used.-Ths Press.

A Conference 10 he Held with tho
Railroad Men.


Orlando, Fla, Oct. 1.-The convention
of farmers and fruit and vegetable
growers which convened here to-day un-
der the call published a month or two
ago, was lightly attended. 1t was repre-
scented that as rule the growers were
not in a financial condition to come from
all parts of the state.
Much discussion was INDUCED in, and
few of the speakers were not backward
in advocating that demands for material
reductions in freight rates be made Some,
however, attributed their lack of success
to the rascalities of commission men; 9TH
ers urged more conservative course and
thought that the interests of the railroads
and the growers were so closely identified
that neither could prosper upon the mis-
fortunes of the other
Finally resolutions were adopted favor
ing a thorough organization of the pro-
ducers and business men of the state for
the purpose of advancing the interests Of
ALL and providing for the traffic manag-
ers of the different lines, with a view TO
getting together and, IL possible, securing
such concessions as will insure the mar
keting Of the crops rather than have
them rot in the fields. j. ID. Beggs of Or
lando, c.. w. Franklin of Leesburg and
John @. Reese of Oxford, Sumter county,
were appointed committee on transport
tation, and the convention adjourned, sub
ject TO the call of this committee.

The Railroads Kicking vigorously
Over Their Business.
Atlanta. Ga. oct. 2-There are no less
than twenty ticket scalpers located on the
Kimball house block, and new ones are
being opened up every day in the city
A crisis is rapidly nearing in the fight of
the railroads and scalpers. The railroads
entering Atlanta have determined to with
draw the cheap rates to the exposition if
matters continue as at present. They de-
clare that they cannot continue to sell
tickets at such extremely low rates while
the scalpers are allowed to interfere so
seriously with the business of the roads
The sale of ordinary tickets out of At
lanta has been almost completely wiped
Out: People buy their tickets from the
scalpers.
A general manager of one of the roads
who was here yesterday. said that not
Withstanding the increased travel and eX-
ira trains and all other favorable condi-
tons. his road actually showed decrease
in gross revenue since the exposition
opened. 1t was making more before the
show began.
The roads are considering some action
themselves they will withdraw the cheap
rates
The high officials of the railroads here
declare that it is their belief that the city
council can regulate the matter and re-
strict the ticket ScalDers business to the
respectable and honorable scalpers. and
that If the council takes no steps and
no other avenue opens they will withdraw
the exposition tickets in self protection.

Atlanta, Ca. oct. 2-The Minnesota
Press Association, 200 strong, reached
Atlanta this morning. and were escorted
in a body to the exposition grounds and
extended all the courtesies. A lunch had
been prepared for them on the roof garden
Of the forestry building, after partaking Of

grounds to see all the sights of the great
show. After seeing the many buildings
and witnessing the unique sights of the
Midway, they witnessed the grand pyro-
technic display of Pains fireworks at
night on the north end of Clara Nicer.
One Of the events in connection with
the visit of the Minnesota Press Asso-

Farmer of Renville, Mimi. to Miss Jennie
Bordewick, who also accompanied the
press association. The marriage occurred
this afternoon at the Oriental hotel, the
couple deciding that as this was Minnesota
day at the exposition they would celebrate
il by nuptial ceremonies. The marriage
was an entire surprise to the whole party.
but many of them got wind of the affair
and attended the ceremonies, which were
performed by a prominent minister.
Gov. w. c. Oats of Alabama. who pass
ed through Atlanta to-day, visited the
exposition, and expressed himself as being
wonderfully surprised at the extent and
magnificence of the fair which Atlanta
has prepared. He said it was far beyond
the expectation of the public at large. ana
nothing greater than the Atlanta expo
sition had ever been seen in this country,
outside of the worlds fair. The electric
al display on the domes of the buildings,
lighted with thousands of incandescent
lights, is in itself worth a visit to At
lanta.
The attendance for the past two days
has been excellent, and people are pour
ing in from all directions. The exposition
IS practically complete with the eXcep-
ton of a few displays, which have not
yet been placed. and everything is now
about ready for the public.
Among other displays which have been
delayed for a few days, but which are
now ready are the displays in the annex
TO the transportation building, where
some of the finest locomotive engines and
trains of cars, which have never been ex-
.hibited, are being put in place.

Blow in the Face.

Ocala, Fla, oct. 2.-The sensation of
the year was an encounter this morning
on the Ocala house porch between Judge
w. S. Bulloch and L. w. Agnew. The
former accused the latter of using his
name disparagingly. Mr.. Agnew denied
the charge. Judge Bulloch repeated 1t
and followed it up with a terrific blow
that caused blood to flow freely from Mr.
Agnews mouth and nose. Mr.. Agnew
struck back, but did not reach his an
tagOnist Friends promptly interfered
and separated the men.
Samuel r. Pyles. in his efforts to re-
strain Judge Bulloch, got a chance shot
that darkened his eye.
The real cause of the difficulty Is not
known. Some say 1t was old First Ma
tional Bank matters, others say 1t was on
a more sensitive belligerent subject.
The banquet of the Ocala Elks last
night at the Ocala house was a big sue
cess. SeVenty-five plates were spread.
