The Republican papers Of the country
have nothing to say about the repairing
of the battleship Indiana at the English
dock at Halifax, but the London papers
are exuberantly funny over the incident.
Referring to the matter the Dublin
Freeman's Journal says: Enthusiastic
Britishers are in great glee over the fact
that the American government have
been obliged to send their battleship,
the Indiana, to the British dockyard in
Halifax to be cleaned and repainted.
The United States are indeed apparently
In bad way as regards their docks.
Their two best docks are at Brooklyn
and Port Regal. Both are Of timber,
and both are. it is said. leaky. Hence
Uncle Sam has to send hts ship to Can
ada. This does not say much either for
the enterprise or the amour propre of
the Yankees. It is obvious that If they
have no docks their navy in time of war
would be useless and If they ambition
becoming a real maritime power, they
should Immediately place themselves
above the necessity of sending their
battleships to Canada to get cleaned.

The Irish American Of New York
copies with alacrity the lying report
that William J. Bryan Is travelling on
railroad passes. OF course, it will copy
the other lying report that he will

both roorbacks. The Irish American is

Sir Charles Dixie does not think that
Britannia rules the waves at the present

him. The latter says that the British
navy Is In bad way. The much talk ed

says, were a tiaaco from beginning to

have been the order OF the day ever
Since. That's coed news for poor Uncle

is small we can still lick the English on

The government is redeeming. Sher-
man notes. During the national cam
paign last fall gold was flowing out of
the United States treasury at terrific
rate. and the Republicans became
alarmed. 1t would not do to issue
bonds during the heated campaign and
so the bankers rushed to the rescue Of
the treasury and generously loaned the
government the yellow coin to enable
1t to redeem Its notes. They took treas
ury notes in lieu of the gold coin, and
the Mckinley press lauded them to the
skies. They were patriots and not shy
locks, as the Bryan press pictured them.
Now, it appears they want their gold
back and they are getting it. They will
drain the treasury dry once more and
get their chum Gage to issue more bonds
for their benefit.
