A NAVY TO BE PROUD OF.
Ex-President Harrison Says we
Do Not Intend to Aagain
Leave the Sea-"

Ex-Pr ,sident Harrison in writing
of "rhis Country of Ours" reviews
our navy department, and tells of the
construction of our new navy. "We
had no great ship-yards, and no ship
builders with the capital, the skilled
labor and the experience TO fit them
to enter this new field" he writes.
"John Roach, however, had the cour-
aye to believe that he could create a
competent shop and build the new
vessels. He put everything at rick
and should have had better treatment
from the Government than he re-
ceived. He was fairly entitled to
some of the profits that have since &c
crued to those who walked in the
path he blsz q. We have now, both
on the Atlantic and Pacific, ship
yards and builders capable of con-
structing any ship and of putting into
her any machinery of the first etfi-
cheney. We have also great steel
plants, costing millions of money and
capable of making armor plates of the
hig hest resisting power, and steel gun
forgings of the finest quality. These
great ship-yards and steel plants are
convincing proof that the supremacy
we once had in wooden ship building
may be attained-if ii has not already
been attained-in steel ships.
Practically all of this work has been
done within ten years, and the Secrt-
taries of the Navy who have presided
over and directed it; the constructors
aud ordnance officers of the Navy who
have furnished the plans and design
and the stce makers and ship-5uilder'
who have executed these plans art
entitled to The highest praise. We
have always had Navy personnel tC
be proud Of, and we now have Navy
, to be proud of-uota finished Navy
, but one on the way. A new battle
, ship is a new argument tor interna
, tional arbitration, for you must hav
, noticed that pcrcmptory demands 70
, fixed amount of damages are usual
ly made upon nations that have II
battle-ships nor torpedo boats. 1t
not our plan, am sure, to mstch tn
great na,ies of Europe. We may safe
ly keep our register of vessels we
o within theirs; but we do not inten
y again to leave the sea ."-Ladle

Investigation this year has shown
serious deficiencies in the arms and

the United States should provide
them with the implements which thew

field equipments-ts The supply on
hand is entirely inadequate for seri'
Gus and prolonged field operations.
The Secretary recommends that the
Spring field riff, caliher 40, be issued
to State troops, that the states be al
lowed to return to the War Depart
ment obsolete arms and equipments
to be sold, and ih8 proceeds credited
to the States, aud that the States bt

work and sleepless nights. The machinery
of the whole system is demoralized. A
business man feels that he cannot afford TO
be i'll enough to quit work. He drags along
day after day, makes bad deals, says the
wrong thing, and health and business col
lapse together. There's no need OF either
disaster. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
a gentle. effective renovator of both stom-
ach and bowels. They assist nature with
out threatening to tear the body piece-meai.

One is barely perceptible laxative Two
give more noticeable results, and they may
be continued until the system is throughly
renovated, strengthened, and put into mar
mony with nature. One need not tear q
"habit" of taking the Pleasant Pellets. -
AS soon as health is restored they may be
discarded without return of illness be-
cause of their absence. Therefore, you
don't become o slave to their use.

DR.. Miles, Remedies Restore Health,
Elect0r Smith Writes a Card.

Mr.. w. b. Smith, of Richmond,
the Bryan eleclor from Kentucky,
who goes into the Electoral College,
communicates the following to the
Times:
e lilor Louisville Times: | have
to-day received notice of my election
az Que OF the electors of the State to
cast tho vote of the State for President
and Vice President.
/ very much regret that all OF the
Democratic electors did not receive
similar no ice. / believe that every
voter, VINO placed hin mark opposite
any name, thought that he was doing
all that was required to secure the
election of w. j. Bryan. A vote for
me, they believed, was vote for the
whole ticket, and the failure OF the
Democrats who made their marx or
posite my name to place similar
mark opposite the name of each OF
the other Democratic electors, lost,
perhaps, eleven electoral votes for the
Democratic ticket. The count, as
now made by the Canvassing Board,
shows that the vote counted tor me Is
greater than the vote cast for any Re-
publican elector, save Mr.. Kash, and
ii the vote given to me had been
counted, as it was evidently intended
for all of the other Democratic elect
ora, then there wnuld have been
twelve electoral votes for the Demo
cratic ticket, unless the same course
has been pursued in counting the
vote for Mr.. Kash and the other r.
publican electors.
fud that the Democrats of the
Stale made most gallant fight. The
returns at Frankfort show that we
were defeated by those who have
heretofore acted with US, and if the
electoral vote of this Stale is finally
given to Mr.. Mckinley, it will be be
cause of the vote cast by Democrats
who. in my humble judgment, should
not have deserted US in the grea
struggle. l sincerely hope that all G
the Democrats of this State will con
tinue to stand for the free and unlim
tied coinage of both gold and silver
at the ratio of 16 to for an incom
tax--and for tariff sufficient TO sup
port the Government prudently ad
: administered. Upon this platform W
will continue 10 fight and we nee'
have no fear of success.
Respectfully,
