Rotterdam, named the Bodice and
the Zwartze, have the great structure
in tow, and the journey is expected
to last about 100 days. The first
call will be made at Madeira, the
second at Cape Verde Islands, and
the next at Montevideo. 1t has been
decided TO tow the pontoon through
the Straits of Magellan, and this will
be the first time such feat has been
attempted During this dangerous
passage, a pilot of expert knowledge
will be engaged, and there will be
much anxiety until it has been safely
accomplished On each tug there is
q crew of sixteen hands, and on the
pontoon itself are twelve men under
a captain, for all of whom special
accommodation has been built into
the sides of the floating dock, which
they will not leave until the end OF
their long journey, a distance of over
10000 miles"
How to prevent ships from turning
turtle" as the result of a blow, either
by ram, torpedo, shot or collision
perforating the underwater part of
her hull, has for ten years past close
ly engaged the attention of General E.
E. GOulaeff, a member of the Insti-
tute of Naval Architects, who recent
ly in London detailed a plan whereby
ships could be rendered both unsink-
able and uncapsizable.
In the GoUlaeff system of construc-
ton, which, says the Technical World
Magazine, comprises some mo,difica-
ton of the form and proportions of
vessels, the inventor has endeavored
to protect the ship against torpedoes
by the internal system of construc-
ton of the hull He has attained
this purpose by making vessels much
broader than they have been or are
at present, leaving their length the
same, or making them even some
what longer. The form of construc-
ton provides treble broad longitudin-
al cellular side corridors, which are
rendered possible by the increased
breadth of the vessel. and are intend
ed to reduce to a minimum the uuan-
tiyt OF water that may enter the ship
through injuries OF openings made in
the hull.

respect of. the fixing of minimum
freight rates for corn. The adhesion
of the regular shipping lines to the
tramp steamers imparts an important
support to the agreement, and it is
therefore assumed that the remaining
tramp vessels, which only comprise 25
per cent. of the total, will also become
parties TO it The minimum rate has
been fixed at IS Sd for steamers of
over $500 tons 1t appears that the
rates hitherto in force were less than
those obtaining ia former years, not

The wave Of sentiment that
set in motion the proposed NOM
ination Of Caleb Powers for Con-
gress, by the Republicans OF this
district, disappeared almost as
mysteriously as it was started.
That such a proposition was the
mere flash light of sentiment, can,
not be doubted, for such action
could not be defended either by
party necessity nor public good.
Calm judgment of the best
thinking Republicans saw the
end to which it would lead, and
the reaction was so strong that
Powers has announced his with
drawal. It is clear that party
honors nor political advancement
canswipe away the stain his in
dictment infiicts. If Mr.. Pow
ers is ever indicated, it must
come through the courts. His
party can not do it. The Cover
nor is also powerless. He may
gain his freedom through Exec
utive clemency, but he can not
be restored to public confidence
in any other way than by con-
vincing proof. To our mind the
Republicans who would not en-
dorse his candidacy, have not
only acted for party honor and
welfare, but for the States in
terest as we'll. The time has
come,when better political living
is absolutely necessary if Ken
lucky is to regain her old time
standing with the sister States.
There is room, ample room for
improvement by both parties,
and we trust and believe that the
new era is dawning.

Why is there a political ma
chine in Louisville? Because the
Democrits of Louisville do not
elect the members of their coun-
ty and city committee. but have
them appointed by the State Cen
trail Committee. The Democrats
in the country should see to it
that the same party law applies
to Louisville, as does to other
parts of the State. When we do
away with one man power, we
will destroy the machine.
