Our Two New Battleships.

On the Oath there will be launched
the mighty battleships, the Kentucky
and the Kearsage. These ships will
be the most powerful in the entire
navy. Indeed they can scarcely be
called ships at all. They are rather
immense floating fortresses, manned
by engines rather than by sailors.
There is no battleship sfloat today
and hardly any fleet that could strike
single blow SO terrific as the Ken
lucky or the Kearsarge. The reason
for this is that each carries on the for
ward and after deck a double turret,
each lower turret carrying two 49,
inch guns, while each upper turret
carries two 8-inch ones.
The Kentucky, therefore, can con-
centrate the fire of two l3-inch guns
and two S-inch guns simultaneously
upon an antagonist. This is a blow
which all ordinance Authorities agree
in stating no ship aflost could rests
Besides the eight 13-inch and s.
inch guns, the Kentucky has fourteen
5-inch rapid fire rifles in her main
battery, while the secondary batteries
will comprise twenty 6-pounder rapid
fire, six l-pounder and four machine
guns. There will be also five torpedo
tubes, two on each broadSide and one
in the stem.
The Kentucky will carry 1863, 197
pounds of explosives. She is provided
with $50 armor-piercing shells, OF
which 120 are thirteen-inch and 160
are eight-inch. TO these are added
240 ordinary cast steel shells with ex-
plosive charges. Besides, the Ken
lucky carries some 10000 projectiles
for five and six FOUNDER rapid-fire
guns, one-half of which are armor
piercing.

As Others See Us.

A Chinese resident in America is
said to have written home to his
friends letter from which the fol.
lowing extract is taken:
what is queerer still, men will
stroll out in company with their
wives in broad day light without a
blush. And will you believe that
men and women take hold of each
others hands by way of salutation.
Oh, 1 have seen it myself more than
once. Not only that, but they sit
down at table together, and the
women are served first, reversing the
order of nature. After all what can
you expect of folk who have been
brought up in barbsrous countries on
the very verge of the world ?
They have not been taught the max.
inns of our sages they never heard of
the Rites how can they know what
good manners mean? We often
think them rude and insolent, when
I'm sure they don't mean it they are
ignorant, that's all. The Mission
airy Voice.

Maxine Gomez.

Gen. Maxine Gomez deserves to
rank with Washington, Bolivar and
Lincoln as 3 defender of human rights
and lioerator of the enslaved. More
than threescore and ten years of age,
he stands upon the verge of the grave
heroically fighting that his country
men may enjoy self government. He
is fighting without any hope Of earth
ly reward.
The offers of Spain of wealth and
high position if he would betray his
people have been promptly and con-
temptuo usly rejected. Without mon
ey, credit, arms, munitions of war,
ships, food, clothing or shelter, on an
island in the sea with a handful of
raw recruits, he has hopefully and
patiently met and repealed the Span
ish battalions. The God of battles
has been with him, and the cause
which has inspired his heart, brain
and soul to noble deeds will be tri-
umphant.
How can any sincere American
democrat, native or foreign born, fail
to admire and love him, and to pray
without ceasing that victory without
alloy may crown his efforts and that
he may live to see the emblem of Gu
ban nationality float in the breeze
over his country, country enjoying
the blessing of self. government and
the rev ards of peaceful industry ?
God bless him !-Francis Wsyland

Personality and Action.

There are two elements that enter
into every mans influence, PERSONAL
ity and action. The one is the man
himself, with the peculiar individual
ity that diffsrentistes him from other
men, the character that makes him
what he IL. 1t was the man Paul,
the man Napoleon, the man Luther
that gave to each of these his power
and stamped his influence upon the
age in which he lived. 1t was the
man Jesus Christ that revealed his
life and by the force Of his own ire
sistible character commanded the adj
miration and recognition of men. -

Stable Manure.
piercing

Don't buy stable manure unless you
can get it at very low prices. 1t is of
uncertain quality, especially that
made in town or city stables, which is
usually the only kind on the market
Prot. Voorhees, says that 20 tons OF
city stable manure at $3.50 would
cost $50, while $l1 would buy an
equivalent amount of actual plant
food in chemical fertilizers. Freight
and carriage are much less, and the
question is whether one can afford to
pay the extra price simply to get the
vegetable matter or humus in the
manure. Even if it can be more
cheaply obtained by plowihg under a
green crop. Make all the manure
and compost possible on the farm, but
when it comes to buying it we have
the impression that farmers pay about
twice as much as the stuff is worth
"In New Jersey, commercial fertile.
ere are comparatively cheap and city
manures comparatively dear"

The Period of Uncertainty.

The delay made necessary by the
prosecution of the Maine inquiry has
been profitable to the Government for
the making of requisite offensive and
defensive preparations. The very
circumstance that, throwing off all
attempt at concealmeut, the Govern
ment has felt impelled to get in read
mess for war, however, has exercised
inevitably q restraining influence
upon trade and enterprise and has
tended to depress the market seri-
ously.
The condition is produced by an
uncertainty which is more damaging
than even declared and positive war
itself, and its long continuance, with
variations of hope and depression,
may become eventually disastrous.
1t deranges all business and disturbs
all values, since for the preservation
of their equilibrium there must be a
stable foundation, which cannot exist
so long as there is uncertainty wheth-
er we are to have war or peace.
Accordingly, we find among bust
ness men, financiers, and those en-
gagged in large enterprises, or medi-
tating them, a very general desire
and demand that at the earliest prac-
ticable moment this unfortunate pc
riod Of suspense shall be brought to
an end by decisive measures on the
part of the Government. A.
Nor is 1t likely that there win now
be much further delay in bringing to
a head our controversy with Spain.
AL the armed preparations making
By the Government point to an early
conclusion of the present uncertainty.

ley is getting ready to move toward

Law Providing Free Scholarships
Void.

The Missouri Supreme Court, in an
opinion by Justice CAN'T, has declared
the Missouri State University free
scholarship law unconstitutional.
This law provided tor the Collec-
ton of special tax on corporations
and on patent medicines and collat-
eral succession tax on inheritances to
establish free scholarships in the
State University. The corporations
paid the tax under protest and execu-
tors of estates resented the collection
of tax ON inheritances.
A writ of certiorari was obtained
against Judge SwitzIer, requiring
him to certify the records to the Su-
preme Court whereby he collected the
tax from certain executor. A mo-
ton to quash was filed and the court
in the opinion sustained the motion.
The law is held unconstitutional be.
cause the collateral succession is q
"tax" upon property within the mean
ing Of the constitution and hence
must be uniform and for public pur-
pose and the law is void for that rea.
