The possibility Of a war that shall al
most certainly be . naval conflict has
called attention to the Importance OF the
class OF lighting ships known as torpedo
beat dsstroyers OF "catchsrs. ''anG the alb
ssnoe Of any OF this class from our own
naval list.
Moreover war craft Of this Kind are not
to be had from forsian sources, since none
is more highly estsemed just now by
naval authorities and there is no dispo-
sition in any quarter to dispos, of any
that happen to be on hand. Our govern
ment has acquired the Gould yacht May
flower. and she is being fitted up as tor
pedo toat catcher, but otherwise the most
faithful search of the markets has failed
to secure any for our government.
The Vicious little torpedo boat Is alto
gether doubtful quantity in naval war
fare. It's efficiency depends upon frss-
dom of action that is hardly possible in
any general engagement and the COM
mAnder of a ship ut anchor that would
permit torpedo boat to steal upon him
would stand a good chance Of being cash

thing.
1he torpedo BOAT catcher, however, is
mighty tough bit of boat. 1t can tight
better than . gunboat, and besides can
shoot torpedoss. One or two cstchers in
the midst Of fleet of torpedo boats like
that sent out from Spain to the Canary
islands might be compared to couple OF
terriers I'm . room full OF rats. The .sr-
risrs would doubtless got the best of q
tussls, for al the disparity Of numbers.
The only weapon the torpedo boats have
would be useless against the spry little
catcher while the guns of the latter could
very soon sink the smaller and practi-
cally defencsless craft. A floet Of these
cAtcners would bs able to police the seas
near their squadrons and rslicve the big

against torpedo boat attack.

What travesty ON truth to say that

carries with it its own reputation. What
confidence can be placed in the promis-

ignorance and credulity of their fellow

prove that "good times are not coming

every factory wheel is in motion, when
employers are hunting for help, when
every mechanic is busy, when real es-

the banks. Prudent and careful depos-
itors will not invest their money when
everything but money Is constantly
shrinking in value. When good times

GLORIOUS NEWS IF TRUE.
ICincinnati Ennnirer1

IClnclnnatl Enquirer
The superintendent and manager of
the nations tinances-the secretary of
the treasury-at the opening of the new
year congratulates the country on the
business millennium which this nation
is enjoying. The year 1897 has blazed
the way to the greatest prosperity ever
enjoyed by the industrial classes. The
complaint Of hard times has been ST.
fenced. The farmers have had good
crops and good markets. They have
debtedness. Labor has found good en-
ployment at fair wages. Manufacture
ers have enjoyed rich harvest. The
cotton, wooden and iron mills-in short
every department of productive indus
try gives assurance that good times are
not coming but are actually here. Tho
United States is rapidly becoming the
creditor country of the world The
banks are full of idle money seeking
investment. Enforced idleness is a con-
dItion only known in the past Carpen-
tiers, bricklayers, stone masons, plaster
ers, painters, blacksmiths, cabinet max
ars, bakers and even common laborers
are fully and proftably employed. Such
is the kind of stuff doled out to people
by our public functlonares, the advo-
Gates of the single gold standard.
We do not propose to charge our pub
lie servants with willful, deliberate and
premeditated lying, but we ask our
readers to compare these statements
with the facts which they know to
exist, and then determine whether they
are true or false. If the authorship
was not authenticated, ninety nine in
every hundred would pronounce the
statements burlesque upon the real
situation and an insult to the average
intelligence of the people.
They contain just enough truth to
make false pretense palatable. For
example:It is true that the farmers have
had good crops and a fair market for
their suplus breadstuffs. If they have
not removed or leSstned their incum-
brance it is their own fault.
1t is very certain that the DINGHY tar
if and the adoption of the single gold
standard have had nothing to do IN
giving those engaged in agriculture a
few merry drops of prosperity. Every
farmer who has sense enough to go to
mill or to market knows that no politi-
cal party is entitled to any credit for
an advance in the price of wheat. A
beniticent Providence sent the early
and later rain and blessed the labors of
the American husbandmep, and with
held his favors from other lands. 1t
