as a Christmas turkey? Did he
not hastily, quietly and discreetly
withdraw himself from the vulgar
public gaze and patiently await the
hour of his vindication Did he
not walk boldly into the hall where
"justice is judicially dispensed
with" and then march out deiantly
with a certificate from Philadel
phia court, four years before the
statute of limitations expired In
view of all this, if Judge Penny
packer cannot revise his opinion
and say that Hon. Samuel Slater is
the foremost citizen Of the state, he
ought at least in the interest of
harmony as we'll as for the sake of
justice declare that he is one of the
most distinguished and useful citi-
zens of Philadelphia; and next to
Matthew Stanley Quay the greatest
statesman, scholar and diplomat of
the age. The Hon. Samuel Slater
may be of great service to the Hon.
Samuel Pennypacker in the present
campaign as Major General of the
ballot box brigade.
WHAT THE BOOK MIGHT SAY.
The preface or the book itself
ought to describe how Emil Petroff
and w. H. Kemble were sentenced
to prison for bribery in one of
Quay's schemes, and how the Old
Man worked the Pardon Board to
have them pardoned before entering
on their term of sentence. 1t may
tell what caused Blake Walters to
commit suicide. 1t may have a
new version about Don Cameron
payment of SToo, 900 to the state
treasury to save Pennypacker's
patron saint from exposure. 1t
may have an interesting tale as to
what drove A. Wilson Norris,
Auditor General, to a drunkard's
death, and what caused A. F.
Lynch, W. d. Hart, State Treas
urer and VIM. Livesy, cashier of
the treasury, to retire III disgrace
from public life. 1t would be in
teresting too to have it tell who so
entangled Benjamin J. Haywood,
most worthy gentleman, in the
meshes of Quayism as to cause his
arrest for conspiracy and fastened
his death in advance of trial. There
are many other matters in connec-
ton with Quay's control of the
state which should find a place in
this book.
EARLY SUBSCRIPTION DESIRED.
The price of the book is 81. so
and now is the time to subscribe,
for, according to the circular, this
edition will be limited to 1000
copies, but, of course a million can
be had if people will buy them.
The book will be delivered to any
part OF the civilized world Even
the heathen Chinee who processes
Christianity will be supplied at the
regular price. Nothing is said of
the Hottentots. but no doubt, as
soon as providence gives us the tip
TO begin firing our civilization into
them with maxim guns, Quay's S
book will follow to teach them the
beautiful lesson to be learned from
one whose life has been devoted
strictly to the public service for the
good of himself and his son Dick.
1t will be a great disappointment
to Judge Pennypacker, no doubt, il
he fails to make enough out of his
book to pay his campaign expenses
in which case the Old Man might
be obliged to give the plum tree
another jerk.
Should we receive a copy OF the
book for this notice, as we doubt
less shall, we may have occasion TO
quote some of the soul inspiring
addresses. Some of Mr.. Quay S
burning words on ballot reform
may be timely

TO IMPROVE ARMoR PLANT
Navy Department EndeavortnE 60
Keep Pace with Army In
Necessities Of war.

WASHINGTON, Aug. The navy peo-
pie hope to Offset the recent development
in high explosives and armor piercing
prOjectiles by the army through n con-
siderable improvement In the resisting
power Of the armor plating OF q battleshlp.
Lieutenant Cieland David. attached to the
naval ordnance bureau. has produced an
armor plate. which recently was tested
at proving grounds at Bethlehem, and the
results encourage the naval ofcials here
to believe that the armor plate has again
overtaken the gun in the never-ending
struggle Tor supremacy.
This plate Is obtained by a novel
process, carbon being driven directly into
the surface Of the hot plate by an in
tensely powerful current Of electricity,
the results being a face as hard as glass
and Of any thickness desired, supported
by a tough back. which it is claimed cannot
be cracked. The depth Of the hardening
is regulated BY the length Of time the
current plays upen the plate. II is
claimed that an average plate can be
completely treated electrically in 1--WE
hours. Moreover, the plate is claimed
to be a third lighter for the same re-
sisting power, which means a great saving
to constructors.
