There is no power that can withstand
the wrath of plundered and righteous
~ indignant people. War issues may still
the wrath for a season, bribery may
corrupt some, Indifference may dull
others, but as certain as there is a God
in heaven the people when aroused in
a righteous cause will win over every
foe, no matter how strongly entrenched
or powerful. The success Of manhood
over money in the Chicago conflict
ought to give courage and strength to
those who are fighting government by
INSCRIPTIONS corporations, just as the
victory in North Carolina In November
over political tricksters revived faith in
the honesty of the masses. Such faith
is the highest exhibition of optimism.

Krupp Armor at Indian Head.

1t would be strange IL, after having for
years led the world in the manufacture of
ship plates, beating all records of Amager
or Ochta, Portsmouth or Spezzia, and see-
ing our Harvey process adopted alike for
English and Russian battleships, we should
now voluntarily enounce our title to su-
periority and confess that our past methods
lave elsewhere been outdone.
And yet just this attitude seems in pros.
pect' for us, after the revelations of the
trials at Indian Head during the past week.
The 6.inch Krupp plate made by the Carne-
gle Company and attacked by 6.inch pro-
~jectiles, with successive striking velocities
Of 2,O21, 2,237 and 1850 feet per
second, and then by an s.inch projectile
with a velocity of 1884 feet, showed not
a single crack as a result of any Of the
firing. Standard Carpenter shells were
used. The first went less thar half way
through the plate and there was broken
up; the second, also, could not get its
point through portions of the third, under
the highest velocity used, 1850 feet,
succeeded in passing through. the plate, but
remained, it would appear, in the twelve
feet of oak backing, which was covered by
thin steel plate behind it. The big s.inch
armor.piercing projectile of course went
clear through both plate and backing, but
the plato was still not cracked, and 1t
was perfectly good as a defence, save for
the clean-cut cylindrical holes.
The high hopes entertained of the Krupp
process seem likely, therefore, to be full
filled. In Europe it has achieved trinmphs,
and in arranging to use 1t here our
American armor makers have kept up
with the front rank of progress, as
they have always done. OF course, the
conclusion to adopt this method of manu-.
facture will not be definitely reached by
the Government until after q successful
trial of a plate twice as thick as the one
just tested. Such a plate, however, is to
be tried before long. Whatever the ad,
vances made in ship armor, the best that
can be made will be supplied for our ships.

Mausers and Common Sense.

The Spanish proposal that the surren'
dering forces should be allowed to carry
homo to Spain the rifles with which they
have been shooting Americans and Cubans,
appears to have gained more advocates at
the front than In Washington.
1t Ia easy to understand how bravo and
generous men, in the flush OF victory and
In the emotional frame of mind produced
by the knowledge that the main object OF
the campaign was already accomplished,
might be Inclined to listen favorably to the
appeal of a conquered foe to be permitted
to preserve his military honor in the tan.
gible form of twenty thousand Mauser
rifles, or thereabouts.
Yet IL SIMPSONS fleet had captured GER
vERA's ships, instead OF destroying them,
there would have been just as good reason
for allowing the Spaniards to carry home
their cruisers and torpedo boats. Nobody,
we think, would have encouraged a chival-
ric policy toward n defeated enemy to that
extent of generous concession.
What was needed at the time Of the
negotiations for surrender was the unemo-
tional. practical sort of common sense
which disconnects Mauser rifles altogether
from abstract ideas of military honor, and
regards the twenty thousand guns, more
or less, not only as captured property and
legitimate spoils OF war, but also as instru-
ments likely to be more useful to American
interests in the hands of twenty thousand
American soldiers than as consolatory
relics over Spanish mantelpieces. suppos-
ing even that the parole could be made to
extend to the Mausers.
This common sense view Of the question,
according to various accounts, was promptly
supplied and rigidly maintained by the
Hon. RUSSELL A. ALGER, President Nc
KINLEY's Secretary of War.

for the wheel 20 become generally service
able, It must first OF all have smooth roads.
TO secure them, a good roads" movement
was inaugurated, millions Of printed pam.
phlets and magazines upon the subject
were circulated, Legislatures we're appealed
to, prizes were offered for the best literary
contributions upon road making and for
photographs OF dlsHraceful highways, and
the public was led to see the advantages
that would arise from having the highways
improved. To that end large appropria-
tions were made, and tho work Of building
and rebuilding the roads was put In charge
Of competent men. Town officials were in
structed how to construct their roads and
maintain them in good repair, and the en-
HANGED valuation Of their property In con-
sequence of having better thoroughfares
inspired them to make the effort.
Aside from giving Americans splendid
roads, the wheel must also be credited with
enlivenlng numerous branches Of trade,
furnishing employment for thousands Of
workmen, arousing the mechanical and in
ventive powers of the people, and, best Of
all, dispelling their cares and greatly pro-
noting their individual health. All this
has been accomplished in somewhat less
than a score Of years.
Whether our Oriental brethren will fol-
low the example of Uncle SAM and place
the wheel in the front rank of their manu-
features, Of course remains to be seen. This
much, though, Is certain: An SINS coun-
trymen are, in no sense, despicable me-
chanics, and their ability to improve on
the mechanical workmanship Of theirs
has been shown. Who knows that the
heather Chinee" may not contrive a
bicycle that will roll along without either
chain or gear, and that will never scorch,
wabble, or puncture its periphery
At present the Chinese pedallers' ~favorite
steeds are the American light roadsters,
and even IL our distant friends are entirely
satisfied with those wheels as they find
them, no one can c~riticise their Judgment.
Indeed, it may be that the American wheel
maker would prefer to have them continue
indefinitely to import their mounts from
the United States.
At any rate, the Celestial monkey.back
has made his appearance, and another
species Of bicycle face Is presented for the
contemplation of science.

This Is American.

From the Hon. HoKE SMITHS Atlanta
Journal We derive these satisfactory and
stimulating sentiments:
I'VE of course undertake new responsibilities and
may incur some new dangers, but the faith In our
country Is weak indeed which doubts that we can
cope successfully with these.
1T is a condition and not q theory that confronts
us. Territorial extension on o largo scale is for us fore
ordained. Whatever we may have thought OF tho
wisdom OF this policy. the practical and patriotic
thing now is to accept It cheerfully and to strive to
make the best of It.
Objections to territorial extension which had
force some years ago have been overcome by changed
conditions"
This is the Americanism of the new
South not the political new South which
the Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND tried to Gre
ate, some years ago, with the help Of the
Hon. HoKE SMITH. but the national new
South which events are now creating, with
the help of the Hon. HoKB SMITH and
other Southern patriots, and in spite of
the last struggles of dying Clevelandism.
Contrast this patriotic teaching with the
dismal utterances Of the Hon. HoKE
SMITHS former principal in his address
two or three weeks ago to the boys at Law
renceville, New Jersey.
Mr.. CLEVELAND apparently has as little
influence with the former members of his
Cabinet as with the young Americans at
Lawrenceville.
We present to the Hon. HoKE SMITH the
assurance of our most distinguished consid-
Grafton. He is no death mask. He Is in
partnership with no death mask. He knows
a condition from a theory.
