"GR0PNG In THE DARK
Democrats Have No Issues, Says
Secretary Shaw-His Speech
= at Muscatine.

Muscatine, Iowa, Oct. 24.-Leslie M.
Shaw, secretary of treasury, talked for
two hours last night upon the tariff,
trust, money and ship subsidy ques-
tons, making as the keynote Of his
argument an appeal to the people to
demand the opening Of the markets Of
the south for United States products.
He spoke to the largest political gath
ering ever assembled here. He said:
The whole trend of democratic literature
and of democratic speeches, as well as Of
democratic platforms, is to the effect that
Ia protective tariff not only breeds but
shelters trusts. Certainly no one who thus
believes, can be in favor of a protective
tariff. Therefore I commend the honesty
Of the democratic candidate for governor
in this state. in clearly defining the posi-
,, ton of his party as opposed to any protec-
, ton whatever
But while commend the standard bear
err of the democratic party for thus de-
1ning his position, the press of his
party comedies the wisdom of a protec-
tive tariff provided it be enacted by a
democratic majority. BY doing this they
rob their party Of an issue. No issue can
be Joined between a protective tariff en-
acted by q republican majority and pro-
| tective tariff enacted by a democratic ma
jority. No issue can be joined upon the
details Of the applicat ton of principle
| We are now within twelve months of
another national campaign, and with no
present indication of an issue. Our friends
are cropping in the dark. The candidate
| for governor in no state dares express
himself on the money question. The
democratic nominee for governor in no
! state dares to say whether he is in favor
of free silver or in favor Of the gold
standard; whether he is a bimetallist or a
monometallist; whether he is a Bryan
democrat or a Cleveland democrat. And
/ the democratic candidate for governor in
no state except Iowa dares define himself
on the tariff question. a.

he was reading medical book in a

had been sent several weeks ago.
Dropping the book he started up and
exclaimed: II have been a physician

DR.. Cate then described what had
occurred from the time he left Lake

he registered at the Hotel Albert. The
day after his arrival he went out for

Washington, Oct. 24.-Startling
revelations of the inability of some Of
the best United States battleships to
night their turret guns, and even their
broadside batteries in a, heavy sea,
are made in report in which Rear
Admiral Bradford, the recently re-
lieved chief of the bureau Of equip
ment OF the navy department, dissents
from the designs for the 13,000-ton
battleships Idaho and Mississippi.
Ihe designs were approved by the
naval board of construction. The ele-
walton Of their heavy gun port stills
above the load water line is so little
that In a heavy sea they must be
closed and the guns thereby rendered
imperative. Some members of this
board contend that foreign battleships
labor under equal disadvantages, but
the fact that the thirteen and eight
inch guns on the, Kearsarge. the flag
ship of the North Atlantic squadron,
were worthless during sixty-one days
agreeable message to the bulk Of the
American people who believe the
American battleships can come. off
victorious In a fight with anybody and
anywhere. Here Is the salient por-
ton of the report, which was made
public by permission Of Secretary
Moody: |.... - -
There are two important qualities
in the design of the Idaho and Mis-
sissippi, now recommended by the ma
jority Of the board, which I believe
should receive serious consideration.
The first is in relation to speed. In
this design speed in shipbuilding is
second to capacity for sea fighting.
If the speed of the Idaho and Mis-
slss1ppi corresponds to that Of the old
battleships, then they must be rele-
gated for service to the old battleship
class and the first line of defense, COM
posed of battleships of the latest and
most powerful type, with a speed of
eighteen knots, is not strengthened.
Should to the slow Idaho class be
added the Name, Virginia and Con-
necticut classes, then the speed of the
fleet will be reduced from one and
one-half to two knots. Even if this
sacrifice should be made the Idaho
class still would be useless in a mod
crate seaway, owing to their low free
board.
reference is made to the report Of
the commanding officer of the Kear-
sarge, which is a ship of higher gun
position than the Idaho. It is stated
in this report that during sixty-one
days of the summer cruise the turret
guns could not be used and for at
least one-third of that time the broad
side guns could not be used both on
account of the condition of the sea-
