The AL ALBANIA.
~ WO years ago the completion of

~ Wo years ago the completion of
a battleship like the Alabama
would have excited little inter-
est in the country outside of naval
circles. AS one result of the Spanish
war the American people learned to
take such pride in their men-ofwar
that the initial trips of a giant like the
Alabama become a theme of general
comment. The Alabama is the first of
the five battleships contracted for in
1896 to be finished. She will soon be
followed by the new Kearsarge. 1t is
fitting that these two memorable names
should be given to two modern battle
ships. both flying the American flag.
The Alabama is an advancement on
any of the ships that took part in the
war with Spain. A description of her
gives fair idea of what the four other
battleships, the Illinois, the Wiscon-
sin, the Kearsarge and the Kentucky
will be. The Kearsarge and the Ken
lucky are different in some particulars
from the other three which are practi-
cally identical The displacement Of
tons at mean draught; each has a
speed of 16 knots an hour, and the
horsepower of the engines of each is
the same 10000.
The Alabama is 1856 feet long on the
load water-line, eight feet longer than
the Iowa, which the Alabama some
what resembles. Her extreme breadth
is y feet inches. The normal supply
of coal on the Alabama will be 500
tons, but her bunkers have maximum
capacity of 1900 tons. The side armOr
is 1612 inches thick at the top and 91a
inches at the bottom. The main bat
terry will consist of four 13-inch
breech-loading rifles and fourteen G.
inch breech-loading rapid-fre rifles;
the secondary battery, sixteen 6-pound-
ers and four 1-pounders, all rapid-fire,

A Swift and Radical Change.

II ENCOURAGEMENT is made that
Mr.. James Jeffries of Los An
B geles, Cal, and Mr.. Thomas
Sharkey of Dundale, ireland, will fight
for the heavyweight championship OF
the world at the Coney Island club,
New York, on September %. Time was.
and not so very long ago, when if two
heavyweights wanted to fight for the
worlds championship. they were pur-
sued from pillar to post; chased up hill
and down dale: governors called extra
legislative sessions to enact laws
against them; the press protested: the
pulpit thundered; at times they were
arrested and thrown into jail; and from
one end of the country to the other
there went up hue and cry TO stop,
pugilistv' as if the very foundations Of
civilization and morality were being
undermined and crumbling to ruin.
Nowadays, two heavyweights meet
and have it out right under the caves,
you might say, of the churches of
Brooklyn; and hardly a voice is raised
in opposition. A little more than two
supposed to have damned herself for
ever in the estimation of all good peo-
pie because she passed a law permitting
pugilistic contests. Under that law
Corbett and Fitzsimmons met at Car
son City; and Carson City straightway
was set down as companion town of
Sodom and Gomorrah. 1t was all
wrong for Nevada to pass such a law
but it seems to have been all right for
New York to pass a similar law. Ne
vada, you know, is an undesirable
state while New York is a CONSERVATION
of public morals.
The fact is there has always been
a great deal of. sham, ignorance and
mock herocs in the denunciations of
pugilism. There has been no consist
ency in the arguments against it. The
lesser lights in pugillsm have always
been permitted to go their ways and
fight their fights, unmolested. Rela-
lively they pounded one another with
just as much vigor, zeal anr frequency
as the heavyweights; but they never
experienced any trouble finding a meet
ing place. It is only the big fellows
that have stirred up the wrath of pu
gilism's opponents and excited them
to evaporation, legal proceedings and
pulpit invective.
Has public sentiment regarding the
subject changed? 1t seems so. There
seems to be a popular impression in the
country that that great aggregation of
wisdom and virtue, the New York leg
islature, like the king, can do no
wrong. And, candidly, in legalizing
boxing contests under police restric-
tions which the pugilists themselves
hail with satisfaction did it do wrong?

four Gatling guns, and one field gun.
The total weight of the metal dis
charged by the Alabama in a single
broadsde will be 1852 pounds: from
both sides, 1924 pounds. The Balti-
more News observes that two novelties
in the construction of the Alabama
are elliptical turrets, which are intend
ed to give the operators of the turret
guns inside the turrets more room and
present less surface to the gunpers of
the enemy, besides affording a decrease
in weight; and the location of the
smokestacks abreast instead of along
the axis of the ship.
The Alabama is supposed to be the
best lighting machine afloat. But
progress in naval construction is rapid
and ten years from now even the Ala
bama may be looked upon as a back
number.

u SAD tragedy was that reported
in yesterday mornings news
from Pine Bluff, Tenn. A Nor
mon meeting in a school house was
broken up, the building being wrecked
in the process by the mOb's bullets.

killed Burton Vinton, "a prominent

killed the girl through an accident. He
said he made the confession to rid
himself of remorse of conscience.

BIand's Old District.

I T suits goldbug notions pretty we'll to
say not word about the special
election of last week which resulted
in the choice of a successor for the late
Mr.. Bland in the house of representa-
tives
1t was an election of much more than
common interest and. indeed, of mark
ed significance. The newspapers at the
centers of politics had much to say
about it while the preliminaries We're
progressing-the confident prediction
was that the republicans would carry
the district and that then the moral
would be that free coinage certainly is
dead for good and all
The canvass of this district had its
distinction in the brutal use to which
the republicans put the name of Bland
Their jealous effort was to convince the
friends of the dead statesman that he
was the victim of a democratic con-
spiracy: that he ought to have been
nominated for the presidency in 1896;
that he would have been but for the
treachery of democrats in his own dis
trict and state, and that the treatment
he received at the hands of the silver
ties killed him.
This vicious talk was kept up persist
entity. 1t was the campaign argument"
of newspapers which, during Band's
life, had placed no restraint on their
abuse of him but which, when he could
rot expose their chicanery, professed to
he h
This indecent manner of campaigning
came to nothing. Bland's successor is a
democrat. He receives a majority quite
up to that which Mr.. Bland himself
scored at the time of his election for the
term which he was serving when death
ended his career. Under the circum-
stances this is signal victory since
1t is well known that Mr.. BANDS strong
personality had always been assumed
to be very helpful factor in congress
sional elections in the Eighth Missouri
district. Left in the lurch, the gold
bug press, which celebrated in advance
a victory that never came, is now using
small-talk phrases in which to say that,
of course, and of course nobody seri
ously believed that this democratic dis
trict could be reversed.
Yet, why not? Bland himself lost
the district-his republican opponent
was elected just a few years ago, and
there was thus a break in Bland's con-
gressional career So that there would
not have been anything so very unusual
had Bland's former district gone repub-
lican again. But it didn't; and the St
Louis Globe-Democrat which virulently
fought for the republican candidate just
defeated has only to say, in enforced
meekness, that "the republicans did
well for a special election and the sea-
son of activity on the farms" They
did we'll, perhaps; it depends on how
you take 1t.

their numbers all the faster. If the
Mormon missionaries offend against
morality by polygamous practices the
law can reach them. If they include
polygamy among their teachings a
wholesome public sentiment can make
it as much of a disgrace to be seen at
their meetings as at a house of i'll fame.
The Mormons have missions in Mon
tana, too, but the people of Montana,
more self-contained than those of Ten
nessee. do not indulge in mob violence.
Here the Mormons are left alone
There is no excitement, no public in
terest in the elders, no clamor for their
expulsion. People who have attended
their meetings out of curiosity say they
could detect no essential difference be-
tween them and the assemblages of
other religious bodies. The elders
preached faith, hope, charity, honesty,
temperance-all the Christian virtues.
They seemed to be sincere and even
devout. We do not know how many
converts they are making-we have
notion that it's not many But no in
stance has come to light of Mormon
converts adopting polygamous rela-
tions. Should they ever do so, the law
will be hot after them. There is as
strong a sentiment against polygamy
in Montana as there possibly can be
in Tennessee. But Montana is not
worrying over any Mormon mission
aries within her borders-they are left
alone in their obscurity. And that is
the better plan.
