WASHINGTON, Nov. pa plate of
armor representing a lot of 500 tons for the
eight-inch turrets of the battle ships Kear-
sarge and Kentucky, was tested at the
indian Head proving ground to-day. For
testing purposes two eight-inch shells, one
Carpenter projectile and the other a
Wheeler sterling, were fired at the plate,
one at high and the other at low
velocity. Neither penetrated nor cracked
the plate. but partially welded themselves
into It, The test was regarded as entirely
satisfactory, and nsures the acceptance of
the armor. The delivery OF the 500 tons
will wind up the contracts which the gov
eminent has with the Carnegie company for
the supply of armOr for naval vessels, and
1T is not expected that any more will he

armor question by Congress. Subsequent to
the test the ordnance officials fired third

Those who have conversed with the Pres
ident recently find him to be very decided
in favor of the merit system in the civil
service. He has said that perhaps his pred
ecessor went too far in extending the civil
service system. but that is altogether an
other thing from repeating the law. That
IS probably the quiet conviction of the
country. which is often lost sight of by
those who hear only the declarations of
those who imagine they or their friends
would have positions if there were no merit
system. If provision should be made to re-
quire all those over whom Mr.. Cleveland
extended the protection of the civil-service
rules without examination to stand exam
ination now with others. so that they would
hold or lose their places upon their merit
Oh demerit, there could be little cause for
complaint

1t is predicted that the German Parlia-
ment. which ASSEMBLIES in few days, is
prepared to refuse the Emperor's demands
for large appropriations for navy, and
that his threat to dissolve that body causes
no apprehension among his opponents, as
they are confident the people will sustain
them by electing Reichstag more decid-
edly hostile to the war lord. Thus it seems
that a hostility is developing between the
Emperor. and the people of the German
empire. who have no favor for his imperial
designs and his antiquated theories that the
King can do no wrong.

Nh. Co,orado Indian "Uprising.''

WASHINGTON Nov. 29-Captain Wright
and Lieutenant Cavanaugh, Ninth Cavalry,
who commanded the troops in the recon-
Indian disturbance in Colorado, have rec
commended that an investigation of the al
fair be made by the Interior Department.
Captain Wright secured a statement from
the Indians of the affair, the sum of Whicn
is: THAT small party of them were
camped on Snake river. hunting deer. the
majority of them in the Mills, and but -FOUR
bucks were in camp, when party OF armed
white men came into camp. They re-
manned there some time, the In
dams not understanding them. Finally one
opened his coat showed star, saying trey
were buckskin police and the Indians must
go with them. The Indians refused. upon
which the whites covered them with their
pistols, and, several grasping the two
bucks by the wrists, a struggle commenced.
squaw ran to their assistance, when the
police literally ridded the two with bull
let's. A warden on the outside of the party
shot squaw in the back of her mead and
another in the arm. The two surviving
bucks seeing their chance to run for the
horses they had in the brush, did so. and
made their escape. The Indians insist that
neither at that time nor since have they
fired shot at a white man.

Secretary Cages Address.



If we are to infer anything from the sec
retary's address, it is that Congress will
be urged to consider the matter of cur
rency reform. To 1t may be left the prob
lem of finding the plan most acceptable
to the people, but the advice and the recon-
mendations of the administration will not
be lacking, as base on which to rear II
completer structure. There is an infiuen
tial element among the conservative BUSH
ness forces of America which has urged
a short session of Congress without serious
attempt at currency legislation, and we
confess that their arguments have up to
the present time seemed to us worthy OF
Endorsement. The secretary takes up the
objections that have found favor in this
connection, and while he may be regarded
by some as too optimistic, he makes one
declaration that carries q sense of security
with it I'VE have absolute security that
for at least four years no step can be eff
fectively taken which will degrade our
money standard or bring dishonor to the
national credit. Agitation will, therefore.
result in nothing or be productive of good.
Under such conditions agitation is the high
est conservatism

DEFICIT is GROWING.
Dingley Tariff Bill Not Yielding the
Revenue That Was Expected.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-The forthcom-
ing November statements of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures Will snow
that the receipts during November so FAR
have reached $22, 95O,S90, which indicates
total of about $25, 100000 for the month. This
is trifing Improvement over October
when the receipts were $24S91,4 Ais. The
deficit thus far during November stands at
IS. 572 1O9. which is larger than was expected:
The deficit for the fiscal year stands at
1ee and the expenditures STA, 2S2. $50.
The receipts from customs so far this
fiscal year undoubtedly will fall consider
ahly short of the estimates made by the
managers of the new tariff bill during It's
tendency in Congress. AT that time 1t was
estimated that customs would yleld ABOUT
S1S0 600 0OO during the first year. The indl-
cations now are said to be that the recelpts
from this source will not aggregate more
than S165 COO 600.

Speaking of old-fashioned modes of pun
ishment reminds me of a cure for the
gum chewing habit which the wife of IL
Western senator tells me a former teach
of hers invented Whenever a pupil was
detected chewing gum his cud was con-
fiscated 1t was not destroyed. it was rolled
into a ball together with all the other con-
fiscated cuds, and the luckless culprit was
compelled to chew that composite cud for
an hour. OF course, it's a punishment we
couldn't allow in these days since we've
discovered the microbe and other unpleas-
ant things, but as an absolute. utter and
permanent cure for the gum-chewing habit
l think it can hardly be surpassed.
