ARMOR PLATE SCANDALS.

With the exposure of the fact that
very many of the plates for the battle
ships Kearsarge, Kentucky, and Hi
nois are worthless, following the Car
negie scandal of year or more ago,
the suspicion that ring is at work to
foist fraudulent shipbuilding material
upon the government is becoming
common. The net results OF the Off
cial tests of the steel plate, now stored
for the three armor-clads building at
Newport News seem likely to be the
condemnation of the entire stock. Six
out of twelve pieces which should have
been folded back on themselves with
out breaking either broke short off or
tore apart. Over eighty other pieces
are to be examined, but the dispatches
reveal the fact that the navy depart
ment will be agreeable surprised if a
fair proportion of them come up to eX-
pectations.
There is little moral difference be-
tween the act OF man who betrays
his country in a war and that of firm
which, for the sake of a dishonest pro-
fit. makes battle-ship structurally
weak. Aside from the lives lost aud
the property destroyed when such a
great craft goes down in action,

FREE SILVER CORPSE.

General Jacob Coxey thus brands
free silver. He says: "Mr. 8ryan is
too brainy a man to stay long with
corpse. Long before 1900 he will be
holding his nose too, for he has shown
progression in the past, and quick to
note the peoples demands. He will
discover what the people were afraid
of the last. election. If they voted for
free silver, it would be only building up
another brood of millionaries-silver
mine owners, and brave Bryan will
never run the risk OF being even sus-
picioned as being on their payroll.
We believe and hope that Mr.. Bryan
will be with the people for full legal
tender money next election, and not
for silver mine owners, where we all
were mistakenly, the past election"

may do irreparable harm
to some great national cause. The
honor of the country may rest upon the
integrity of a single armor-clad, yet
here we have manufacturers who try
to i'm pose a kind of steel plate upon an
entire squadron which would probably
go 20 pieces like so much rotten wood
under the impact of the first great
missile that should strike it.
The case appears to be one not only
for the interference of the navy depart
ment, but of the federal grand jury. 1t
would be a most inspiring circumstance
if such jury would probe the scandal
to the bottom and let no guilty man
escape, whether it be the millionaire
plate maker, the naval officer who was
detailed to watch the process of manu-
facture or the superintendent who had
the work in charge. The thing most
needed now is an example, and the
grand jury seems to be the proper body
to apply it. 1t goes without saying that
the higher the position OF the culprit
the greater the good that would come
of his exposure and punishment

Armenian Orphans.

The full extent of the Armenian
massacres is indicated in report to
the state department by United States
Consul Bergholt, at Erzroum, wherein
he says: 1.-THE number of Armenian
children under II years of age made
orphans by the massacres of 1896 is
80, 600, according to the estimates of
the missionaries. The question of what
shall be done with these orphans is
occupying the attention of the Chris
tiau world. The American board of
missionaries has the question under
consideration. German institutions or
religious societies are preparing to
esta blsh orphan asylums and the
British am bassador at Constantinople
has initiated movement looking to-
ward settling number of widows and
their children from the provinces of
Erzroum on the Island of Cyprus In
Erzroum there are $50 widows with 700
children without means; in ErZingan,
100 widows, with go children, and at
Baitbourt, 149 widows with 500 chill
dren. The widows of Baitbourt are in
particularly distressing circumstances,
not male remaining.

IT is to be hoped that the develop
ments in San Francisco regarding the
Fitzsimmons-Sharke fight and fake,
will turn decent men away from those
entertainments. The same kind of
work has ruined horse racing in many
places, and if it would make prize fight
ing off color everywhere it would be a
great thing, because while to be an &C
csmplished boxer is useful and manly
accomplishment, still the associations
attached to the prize ring are altogeth'
err demoralizing aud vicious.-Salt Lake

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. :.
Guuderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract:
81 have no hesitation in recommend
ing DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the
results were almost marvellous in the
case of my wife. While [ was pastor
of the Baptist Church at Rives juno
ton she was brought down with
pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and
it seemed as if she could not survive
them. A friend recommended DR..

1t Said lie Was the Greatest Painter
of the age.
For period of nearly 80 years Millais
has been before the public as an artist
and for the greater part of that time
he has sustained his reputation as the
greatest painter OF his day, says Scrib-
Eer's. lie has painted history, romance,
poetry, landscape, portraits and has
made his mark in all.
No one else has attempted so wide a
range of subjects, few have shown q
greater variety OF invention or APP
preached him in his command over
tools and materials. 1t is only within
the last few years that he has shown
any decline Of power and it was only
the other day that Mr.. Watts, his great
colleague, observed to me Of one CT
his pictures in the present exhibition
of the Royal academy Gso6) that as
painting it was good as ever
His art is in no sense ideal; his
imagination cannot body forth things
unknown or rise TO any great heroic
height: he has never attempted to repre-
sent rapid or violent action, but inside
these lines his powers are splendid and
eXuberant.
An almost matchless draughts q
colorist of great truth and force, .
painter of extraordinary initiative pow
ct, with handling not always pleasant,
perhaps. but of the utmost surcncss
and freedom, he has left Il body OF work
which both for quality and quantity
has scarcely been cqualcd in modern crt.
indeed, the whole of his work has been
o sincere and full Of fresh life. it re
,.ccts so forcibly lis own personality
and the. living spirit OF his day, that it
IS difficult to believe that II can ever be-

Tax Suits.

\ telegram from Sherman, Tex,
says: The principal work in the district
clerks office has been the issuance of
citations in state, county and city ia X
suits. The utmost leniency, however,
is being exercised by the officers in
charge of the matter. Special Tax
Commissioner Sidney Wilson is grant
ing unexpected delay in calling for
writs of possessions authorizing eject
ment and County Attorney Hare,
Sheriff Hughes and District Clerk
Head all agree to remit costs in cases
where parties sued will settle their
1895 taxes before Jan. l, 1897. The
efficiency of diligence in collection of
taxes is evidenced by the showing of
the city tax books upon which 90 per
cent of the taxes are receipted.

The city council OF HIllsboro, Texas:
last week reduced the salary of the
city treasurer to Sl2 per annum. His
salary has heretofore amounted to from
$1,000 to $500. The change was made
on account of the willingness of the
banks to handle the city funds. Some
of the aldermen opposed the reducti on,
as they did not approve of the Office
being given to bankers, and nobody but
a banker could afford to take the 'office
if the reduction was made. 1t was
stated in the debate on the subject that

paid their treasurer SO per year, and
that the banks were glad to get the
