ct goes without saying" writes the
naval expert Of the Scientific Amer

terry. All the guns are Of the latest
high velocity, long calibre, rapid-fire
type. The 12-inch has a muzzIe velOc-
ity Of $500 foot seconds, an energy Of
1926 foot tons and a penetration Of
iron at the muzzle Of 47-2 inches. The
S-inch gun has also a velocity Of $500
foot seconds, and its energy at the
muzzle is 1860 foot tons, while it is
capable Of penetrating 31.4 inches Of
iron at the muzzle. The finch gun

energy of 9,646 foot tons and can pen

By reason Of her memorable trip

The Connecticut and the Louisiana

PARKER AND ROOSEVELT.
How the Business Interests View the
TWO Candidates.

How the Business Interests View the
TWO Candidates.
There is no doubt that the trend Of
political events all tend towards the
success Of the Democracy in this
campaign The pivotal state of New
York is settling down into the Demo-
cratic column Seven Of its greatest
newspapers are supporting Judge
Parker, which were for Mckinley in
the campaigns of 1896 and 1900.
Amongst these are the New York
Herald, Evening Post. Times, World,
Staats-Zeitung Journal of Commerce
and Brooklyn Eagle. What these
newspapers say Of Roosevelt is even
more indicative Of how the great bust
ness interests Of the country view po-
htical matters. The comments elic-
tied from all quarters says the New
York Herald, show that Judge Par
ker's action has won the confidence
Of the people and that sort Of conf
dence President Roosevelt has not in
spired.
His imperialism and his pictorial
ways, together with his revival Of the
Ae-~C -eso-AC III A-AE OOuLn anu OLuGl
Rough Rider fads, have awakened
among the people a distrust Of Mr..
Roosevelt.
Mr. Roosevelt has the support Of
his intimate friends and his political
prOteges, but conservative people eye
him with distrust. They acknowledge
that he is irreprOachEble as an indi-
vidual-that he is a stanch patriot.
a good husband, a loyal friend. But
they doubt his capacity for self-con-
troll, distrust his judgment, and ques-
ton his conception Of presidential du-
ties.
Like the German emperor, he
wishes to NEEDLE in every detail Of
the public service. to control every
department, to rule every official, to
be both the law maker and the execu-
tive. to be the source Of power and to
apply it.
Between Mr.. Roosevelt's views Of
the Presidents duties and the views
OF the American people on that sub
ject there is a very wide difference.
He evidently thinks the President Of
the United States is a sort Of dictat-
or, while the people rightly regard
him merely as their Chief Magistrate,
as the executive head Of the Admins
tratiOn-
This dOmineering conception Of
his official duties has excited wide
spread resentment among Republic
ans, and has led him to make mis-
takes that would have prevented his
nomination If the Republican party
had had any other available candf
date"

inch steel deck several feet more OF
coal would be encountered, and it is
pretty safe to say that such frag-
ments OF the shell as might reach the
vitals OF the ship would have lost so
much of'their velocity as to be capa-
bic Of doing very little harm when
they got there
It is interesting to note that in the
building of the Connecticut and the
Louisiana there has been a rivalry be
tween the government builders and
the Newport News Shipbuilding com
pany, which has had no parallel in
this country. The vessels were au-
thorized by the same congress and it
was stipulated that one be built at a
navy yard, the other by a private en-
terprise.
The Newport News company got the
contract for building the Louisiana,
and the work Of constructing the Con
necticut was intrusted to the New
York navy yard. The Louisiana was
so far ahead Of the Connecticut that
she was launched several weeks ago.
This would seem to indicate that pri-
vate shipbuilding enterprises can turn
out battleships faster than can the
government at its navy yards.
But it should be recalled that no
vessel had been built at the New York
yard since the Maine was construct
ed whereas numbers have been con.
structed al the hands Of the Newport
News company. The one had already
been equipped with every necessary
appliance, whereas on the other hand
these had TO be supplied.
Moreover, the men in private en-
plOy might work overtime If they
liked, whereas the other being in gov.
eminent employ had stipulated hours
of labor, and there being no govern
meut warrant to hurry work these
worked the regulation hours and
ceased.
