Armor Plate in the Naval Bill.

The republican party is ashamed or afraid to go into the presidential campaign as a heavy promoter of Carnegie profits. These profits have been conservatively es- timated by the chief proprietors of the concern at 2,o00, GOO this year. To swell truly Carnegie rates of heavy contracts for armor plate has caused the party to stop and consider.
 The senate naval committee offers a compromise. It offers to pay $545 a ton for armor needed in the construction of the Maine, the Ohio and the Missouri; $445 ton for armor to be used on other author ized ships; and $500 ton for armor to be placed on ships named in the pending bill. at these prices then a government plant is to be erected at a cost of s4,0O0,0O0 and that, too, at once.
 Nothing will come from this proposi- ton except a reduction in Carnegie profits It was well established before committee of the house that the best Krupp plate with its five processes, can be made for s16O a ton. The Krupp process, which is not patented, is we'll known in Germany and elsewhere, and new armor-plate plant is about to be established there. The pretense that the Krupp process is se- cret and a monopoly is the merest moon- shine.
 The naval appropriation bill Is doubtless the result of a bargain between the re- publican leaders and the consolidated Car negie combine. The terms named in the bill will be accepted. The terms the bill should have carried should have been $500 ton Anything above that is a steal either for the combine or Han mas campaign fund, or perhaps for both.
 The saving, however secured in the bill is something, and the country stands un- debted for that saving, not to the repub- llean leaders, but to MT. Underwood and his associates who mercilessly assailed the Carnegie hold-up at every opportunity, thereby incurring republican cartoons and other forms of censure, but securing to the country the saving of millions of dollars In the long run a government armor- plate plant will be built, but it will be ordered by the party that is not under the control of trusts and combines.

BIR. ALIENS STRANGE OATH om the Washington Times.

TOil tiic WdSuifi6loH
 According to the administration and the third and perhaps last Magoon opinion, the constitution of the United States does not extend to Porto Rico. Nothing goes there but the laws of congress enacted for the government of foreign subject territory, and without the smallest reference to the constitution. Then to whose blunder do we owe the strange oath administered to MT. Allen on the occasion of his inaugura- tion as president. It reads:
 You, Charles H. Allen, do solemnly swear that you will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, and that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation freely, without any mental reser- vation or purpose of evasion, and that you will we'll and faithfully discharge the du- ties of the office on which you are about to enter. So help you God"

More Mills Closed.

This year is not quite so prosperous, or rather booming, as its predecessor was, and tho trusts are placing before the people some very striking object lessons. John w. Gates and his steel and wire trust is not at all exceptional, there being many others. These trusts are tariff-bred, and their later movements are strictly and solely based on the Dingley scheme for robbing the many for the benefit of the few.

No Dispensary Fiqht This Year.

The attempt on the part of the fag-end of populism to inject the dispensary issue into the state campaign will miscarry. state dispensary system has not been free enough from jobs in South Carolina to commend it to other states. No doubt a measure is needed that will enable any county that desires the system to test lie sentiment. More than that is not need ed or demanded by the people.
 Colonel Sanford is a good lawyer and l a firm believer in representative govern
 ment. He does not propose to force his
 individual convictions upon any body He
 has over and over again said to the people of the state that the county, which is the political unit in this state, should deter | mine It's own sumptuary laws. If it wants prohibition, it should have it. If it wants l a license system, it should have 1t. If 1t wants a dlspensary, it should have it. This | is democracy, or rule by the people, of the people, for the people. Instead of person. alism on his part, Colonel Sanford wants rule by the people. He prefers it by coun- ties, because in that way a delicate issue can best be made to fit each locality, and because in that way no attempt will be made to institute a particular policy until it has public sentiment behind it sufficient to support and fully enforce 1t.
 Colonel Samford's position is impregna- ble because it offers every county what ever it wants without involving any of the scandals that have attended state dispensary in South Carolina. Under his plan system that suits Winston county can be adopted, and so can a system that suits Jefferson county. The yexed prob- lem does not afford any better settlement certainly not one that is more in accord with representative government. It is To- cal rule in local drinks, and nothing can we'll be more American than that.

TEXAS POPULISTS
Have Wrangle and Name Two Sets of
 Delegates

Fort Worth, Tex, May 1.-The populist state convention met here this morning, about $50 delegates being present. Only sxty-nine counties in the state were repre- scented. The convention was called to order by H. s. P. Ashby. There was no contest over the temporary organization, as the anti-fusionists were clearly in the majority. After a speech by Chairman Ashby, the ere dentals committee was appointed and the convention took a recess.
 The afternoon session was stormy and the large corps of sergeants-at-arms had all 1t could do to repress the delegates. who became boisterous frequently. The Cincin- natl faction, or the anti-fusonists. largely in the majority. The middle of the readers were led by Milton Park of Dallas while those who favored the Sioux Falls convention had Harry Tracy and H. L. Bentley for their leaders.
 MT. Tracy attempted to explain the action of the executive committee at it's meeting in Lincoln last year, but the convention would not hear him, and Tracy and his faction walked out of the convention. They did not hold a meeting, as they were too few in number, but they issued a statement, in which 1t was asserted that only one fourth of the counties were represented and that the delegates had come to vote for the regularly constituted national conven- tion.
 When the Sioux Falls faction left, the anti-fusionists adopted resolutions recogniz- ing the Cincinnati convention as the only regular and authorized popuist convention and instructing delegates to attend it.
 Samuel Evans of Fort Worth and J. M Mallette of Johnson county were elected delegates -at-large. Delegates were instruct m for .1 vice president who is not "a straight popu- list"
 The Tracy faction named delegates to the Sioux Falls convention.

From the Selma Times.
 On the 9th of this month a new era will dawn for Selma. On that occasion we will cease to be flag station on the great sys- tenn of railroads that center here. We are actually to be on through line with sure enough, genuine sleeping cars! The people of Selma ought to petition the Southern to bring in the first sleeper in daylight so that they could turn out en masse and welcome it with a brass band. There are children born in Selma and who have been attend ing school for several years who never saw a sleeping car. The Times feels that the event should be celebrated.

 in Colombia

Mobile, Ala, May 4.-Captain Nieuwjar of the Norwegian steamship Simond ar- rived here today from Boca and other ports of Colombia, and says nowhere did he see any evidence of the progress of the in- surrection in Colombia.

The populace are transact ing business as usual, and planters are busy with their crops. Neither govern ment troops nor insurgents were in the neighborhood of Boca or Chireu Grande, which he also visited on this trip. The Dumos left Boca April 2S.

DUKE OF ARGYLL DIED POOR rom a London Gable.

The Duke of Argyll died a poor man, owing to the heavy mortgages on his es- states, together with the great cost of maintaining Inverary castle.
 The new duke will benefit little pecuni- arily by the accession. That his eldest son had no family was source of abiding sorrow to the old duke-in fact, his atti- tude on the subject excited the resentment of his sons wife, Princess Louise, who, had been always on strained terms witA her father-in-law.
 The next heir to the dukedom is Lord Archibald Campbell. who has son and daughter, and whose wife is devoted to art and theatricals. Her open-air amateur Shakespearean revivials were great so- cial feature a few years ago, when she herself was one of the reigning fashiona- ble beauties.
