MEASURES or SAFETY.

Secretary Metcalf has received the
report of the special turret board APP
pointed after the accident on the bat
tleship Georgia to make a general in
vestigation Of turret construction and
handling with a view to suggestion Of
measures to prevent accidents here
after. The board was composed of
Lieutenant Commanders Kaiser and
Vogelgesang and Lieutenant Palmer
They inspected most of the ships of
the Atlantic fleet, which are equipped
with every type of turret and investi-
gated the possibility of danger to the
guns from the magazines.
The secretary was not inclined to
go into details concerning the recon-
mendations which had been made, but
it was intimated that they involved
a great deal of change, which will in
clude practically all the ships now in
service. The proposed alterations in
clude safer installation of electrical
appliances, removal of combustible
material from the turrets, greater
protection from fire, and improve
ment in the gas ejector system, aimed
at the prevention of flarebacks. The
board also recommended modifica-
tions in the present type of turrets
which will give greater speed in hand
ling and at the same time allowing
for greater safety in handling ammu-
milton.

lot with the party which proclaimed
that policy, and when in power shap-
ed its tariff legislation on that line
openly. Old cries which in other
southern states had proved so potent
were cast aside by this progressive
young commonwealth. and live ques-
tions Of the day decided according to
the judgment Of the men Of substance
and calculation. Since then West Vir-
ginia has been as reliably republican
as before 1t had been reliably demo-
cratic, and its development has been
wonderful
1t Is to be doubted, says the Wash
ington star. if Mr. Davis. able and
personally worthy as he is, could re
deem" the state to the democracy.
The pride felt in his great success as
man Of affairs would be subordi-
mated to the fear that would be felt
as to his party in its present condi-
ton. As a matter of fact, indeed. Mr..
Davis is a democrat only in name and
memory. He is not a subscriber, and
probably never will be, to the tenets
which have made Mr.. Bryan the lead
er Of the party. and have caused the
party, under that leadership, to be re-
garded as a menace to the prosperity
of the country.

FAKE ADVERTISING.

Every now and then the merchants
Of the town--or rather we ought to
say. some of the merchants of the
town-are taken in and done for by
fake advertising schemes, which are
worked by wandering adventures.
Barnum, the great Snowman, declared
that the American people like to be
humbugged," and he grew rich by
making use of his information. These
advertising fakirs make money in the
same way, by playing their game on
the unsophisticated The man who
has been sold once is hardly ever
taken in again by the same scheme,
but the fakirs know that, and are
constantly inventing new schemes.
And there are also new dealers going
into business al the time, and they
serve to keep up the stock of ma
terlal to be worked upon, and as was
remarked a day or two ago by gem
tleman who is just now working a
scheme which Is very attractive to the
unwary There's never a total failure
of the sucker crop" But every
Sucker" who Is caught sends just
that much more money out Of the
country. and thus hurts by that mucf
his own business as well as that OF
every one else who is doing business
in the town The only proper thing
TO give the wandering advertising
fakir. is the cold shoulder.
