CONTRACTS FOR wARsHIPs.
Bids Recently Submitted Being Con-
sidered by Bureau Chiefs.

The board of naval bureau chiefs which
has been for the past two weeks carefully
examining the large number of bids and
plans submitted by shipbuilders for the
construction of torpedo boats and torpedo
boat destroyers has almost completed that
work, and is expected to report to Acting
Secretary Allen a plan of distribution of
the awards within a day or two. The work
has been one of difficulty, because of the
multiplicity of plans and the originality
displayed by some of the bidders The de-
cision arrived at by the board is to dis
tribute the craft as follows among the
bidders:
To the Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco, probably three destroyers; the Mary
land Steel Company of Sparrow Point four
or nVe destroyers; Neafie q Leavy of Phil
adelphia, two or three destroyers; Harland
Hollingsworth of Wilmington, two de-.
stroyers; Fall River Company of Massa-
chusetts, two or three; w. r. Trigg & Co
OF Richmond, one or two destroyers and
three or four torpedo boats; Bath Iron
Works of Maine, three or four torpedo
boats; Lawley of Boston, one or two tor
pedo boats. Another of the torpedo boats
Will go to either Lewis Nixon of Elizabeth
port, N. j., or to Herreshoff of Bristol. H.
l., while If the department shall decide ia,
still further distribute the work and reduce
the number of boats awarded to some of
the bidders, the Columbian Iron Works of
Baltimore and the Gas Engine and Power
Company of Morris Heights, n. Y, may
be awarded one boat each.
Bids for the Battle Sims.
The board is now about to turn its atten-
hon entirely to a close consideration of the
bids recently received for the construction
OF three battle ships. So far, the details
OF these vessels have only been examined
in a cursory manner But this superficial
examination has made it appear that the
problem of selecting the best designs is
going to be much more difficult than was
at first supposed.
Inc bureau chiefs appear to have widely
different opinions as to the respective
merits of the design, and il is within the
pounds OF possibility that the department
VIII decide not to make the awards in ae-
cordance with the lowest bid. In such a
case the Newport News bid the lowest
would be thrown out and two of the three
ships would go to Cramp, the third going
to the Union Iron Works. If this course is
followed 1t will be because the bureau
chiefs satisfied that the plans for the
Newport News ship, contemplating an en-
larged Iowa. are inferior in essential points
to those projected by Cramp and the Union
Iron Works. These latter provide smplv
for lengthening by fifteen feet the plans
prepared by the department itself, based
on the Illinois class of battle ship.
One element in the board favors a re-
lection of all of the bids and the prepara-
ton of new plans. but, as the adoption of
this course would probably delay the LET
ting of contracts until the assembling of
Congress, and thus imperil the effort of Che
department to secure further appropria-
lions for ships at the approaching session.
it is not likely to prevail.

THE PROPOSED NEW YORK PARADE
Ii Will Not BE Composed of Those
Now at MOntauk.

If there is to be a parade of troops in
New York, it is not likely to be composed
of troops under the command of General
Shafter the general has reported to the
War Department that the troops under his
command will not be able to take part in
such parade as desired by the citizens of
New York until the list of October By
that time most of the troops at Montauk
will have gone home or to their stations.

A Presbyterian Church Dedicated.

Last Sabbath morning the Prcsbytcr-
ian people of Maitland. and their friends
assembled in their new church to parti
cipate in dedication exercises. After
opening exercises and a sermon by Rev.
DR.. Baileya sum amounting to between
$1,000 and Sl,I01 was raised to pay off
all remaining Indebtedness. AS soon as
this was accomplished the dedication
prayer was offered by Rev. Henry y.
Sawycrs after which DIR. Bailey solemn
ly declared the house to be one set apart
TO the worshipof God. The good people
of Maitland have now one of the incest
church properties and neatest place OF
worship in the county. The way num-
ber of the business men of Maitland re-
sponded to this enterprise is to their
credit When all but SiOO had been
raised three of these men announced
that they would obligatc themselves for
that. The pastor Rev. \. W. Caldwell
and the people are rejoicing in the com,
plction of this place of worship and well
they may. In addition To its purifying
influence in their midst it is an ornament
to- the town.

The first eight years it was S216, OH 81;
for the second it was sos, ,i07 ca.
During the last two years OF Republic
an control they executed the criminal
laws of our state for $4,000 No sane
man in our state will for one moment
contend that at the close of the war there
was less disorder than now. In 1893 and
and 1894 1t required 1877 ,3G6 to meet this
expense under Democratic rule more
than ten times as much, and still the
succeeding legislature was forced to ap-
popriate S150,000 additional to meet de-
ficiencies.
In 1921 cost sG.69I to support i79
patients at the ST. Joseph asylum, while
in 1893 it required sl694l2 to support
619 patients ut the sama institution. In
1SG9-I0 it cost the tax payers S32,OOO to
support 1863 patients at the Fulton asy-
ium, while 532 patients cost SlS6,9l9 10

1884 they were doubly as much.

says:

under Democratic rule has been so much
less than under Republican rule here
and elsewhere as to commend itself to
every tax payer. regardless OF party
atiilatinn."
The Republican, party paid of sixteen
million dollars of he state d-bt and went
out OF power in 1873. For three years
after coming into power the Democratic
party increased the debt and up to 1878
did not reduce it n cent. Remember
that the Republican party not only paid
off sixteen million dollars of the debt but
quoted at about 40 cent? Or the dollar,
and that deprecated paper dollar. To
par and that par gold dollar, for
specie payments had been restored. The
valuation of all property in the state was
into power 10 1864 When they went out
of taxable wealth OF one hundred and
fifty per cent in eight years.
Democracy laid Its Light on the state
and in twenty-five years 1t has paid of
sl2.OO0.OOO Of debt and increased the
valuation Of property. now Sl.0l2,m0,OOO
lees than 100 per cent. Had the state
remained under the benign influence ~
Republican sway, it's debt would have
been paid in 1885. and the assessed val
uatIon of the state been double what il
is today.

Just a Reminder.

This has been called an insipid and
apathetic campaign, and it must be ad-
mitted that it is somewhat difficult to
stir up an interest i'm partisan politics at
4 period when the whole country is re
joicing over the conclusion of success
full war and bestiring itself to get in the
way of the ground swell of prosperity
that has set in with the restoration of
peace.
But there was genuine Republican en-
thusiasm at the rally at Forbes last Sat
urday night, and the spirit of it recalled
the campaigns of former years wher
Republicans were confronted with foe
who stood in one place long enough for
US to advance upon him and give him
battle. But that was before the Farm
ers' Alliance fused with populism ana
populism with Democracy and Demo
cracy with free silver. When Repub-
lican campaigner starts out to beat the
heather for game these days the best he
can do is to bag brace of fusionists or
pot little covey of anti-expansion- free
silver anti imperialist Democrats, and
then il is ten to one his game will spoil
before he gets it home, because OF the
awful mixing process it went through

RESOLVED, That in all contracts for
state work, not otherwise specially pro-
vided for by law, involving expenditure
of the peoples money, We favor the sys-
tenn OF letting out such contracts to the
lowest responsible bidder. and not to the
highest bidder, as was recently done by
the state house gang; and as was done
by Democratic county court when It
gave the Holt County Press the publica-
tion of the financial statement at 80
cents per square, the highest price ever
paid for such work 10 the past seventeen
years. So say the Rspu blicans of Holt
county. What say the voters? What
say the Democratic candidates, and why
did they not say so In their Forest City
convention? Will they tell their party
why they did not adopt this plan years
ago IN the management OF state and
cou nty affairs?
