ALLISON FOR THE NEGRO.

The only speech of Alllson's I remember on a subject Tn any sense of a political nature was made on the 4th of May. 1864, and which covers nearly four pages of the Con- gressional Record. It is excepiion- al in Allison's career, and is worth quoting from as a sample of the clearness and direetness of his style and simplicity of character. It was on a bill to extend the provisions of the homestead law 10 the confiscated estates of southern rebels. He said:
 It is the duty of the government 10 give the colored man at leas. an equal chance with our own race in the settlement and cultivation of the soil in his native land. To this he is entitled on every principle of equity and justice. These slaves have purchased these lands over and over again many times by their sweat and toll through many long years of oppression. and have been compelled 10 support unreQuited the sristocrscy which is now seeking to destroy the government. Let us deal justly with hem in order that We may claim justice for ourselv S. Degraded as they have been by long years of oppression. the white race need not fear them in the race for power.

CRUSADE AGAINST CANNON.
Methodist People Claim He Has Held
 Up Liquor Shipment Bill.

The Methodist Episcopal church has begun from Baltimore an active crusade for the election of a speaker who will allow congress to vote on the interstate liquor shipment bill. The church, which has over 3,000,- 900 communicants, has created the temperance society of the Methodist Episcopal church, with authority to represent the denomination in all temperance matters. This society is managed by a board composed of bishop and fifteen members. named by the bishop and selected by the late general conference. The board of managers has organized and di- rected it's chairman to take steps to begin an active campaign. An off, cial address has been issued to all members of the denomination asking their cooperation. The shipment bill," which has been pending In congress for at least five years. does not seek to impose prohibition upon any locality. but provides that liquor shipped from one state to another shall immediately upon crossing the boundary become subject to the laws of the state into which 1t is con signed.
 "The speaker of the national house of representatives,. says the address, absolutely controls its procedure. He is opposed to this legislation. He has used the power of his office to hold 1t in the judiciary commit tee appointed by him on the alleged ground that it Is unconstitutional. Our church. by action of the recent general conference. insists that con. gressional doubt as to the oonstitu- tionality of such legislation be re- solved in the interests of the people and the public morals. and that the general conference unanimously adopted the report of Governor Hanlyis special committee appointed to wait upon Speaker Cannon. which closes with the following words. We submit to our people and to all good citizens the wisdom of electinE men as members of congress who be- IIeve in its validity and vho are will ing to enact it. At least one mem Der of the house judiciary committee has been defeated for the nomination on his record on this question. and we believe the time has come when our people who want 10 selp secure this legislation must support foG congress candidates vho viIl not OnI. vote for this measure. if thev get chance. but will themselves support for speaker a man vho vilI allow it to bs voted upon and that its passage is improbable until Christian voters recoEni1e this situation and cazs their ballot accordingly

It's pretty tough on the republican managers to have their powder wet by the United States court sprink- ling the Standard Oil fine so that the antitrust issue will not even fizz, says a Washington writer. President Roosevelt denounced the court look ing at the matter from his partisan standpoint. There is no doubt the Standard Oil is guilty of accepting rebates, but the republican attorneys and Judge Landis were so anxious for a spectacular fine that they over played their hands and did not allow the jury to know the whole truth.

A tunnel more than a mile in length, said to be the longest in existence for use by municipal electric surface car lines, has just been opened for operation by the Genoa Street Railway Go. It con- meets Genoa with the adjacent large commune of Rivarolo, which pre- viously was reached by circling the mountain, the distance being now shortened one and one-third miles, and the trip Is made in fifteen min utes less time. Constructive works began on June 1, 1905. The boring was accomplished by 800 workmen, partly by hand. by electrical ma chimes, and by compressed air ma chimes.

TRAVELLING MERRY o-RoUNDs.
Machines Which Cause Excitement
 When They Appear.

Not all the merry-go-rounds are es- tablished at the summer pleasure re- sorts. There Is also the traveling merry-go-round that traverses the city streets.
 The running part consists of two pairs of wheels, having extending be- tween them a long narrow platform, hung low, upon which the revolving merry-go-round is mounted. This merry-go-round is built just like any other, except that 1t is in miniature. Its platform is perhaps 10 feet in diameter, and secured to the floor around by its edge are the usual ami mals, correspondingly reduced in size.
 The pivot pole running up through the center of the circular floor rises to a sufficient height to support a canopy which extends all around over the platform, supported by stanch- ions at the outer edge, and around this center pole. on the floor of the machine, there is a low seat for very small children who could not be safe ly trusted to perch on the animals.
 The merry-go-round Is operated by means of cogwheels attached to the pivot end of the center pole and to a crank shaft which extends back un- der its floor to the rear end of the wagon, where the man who turns 1t stands. Mounted on the front end of the wagon, just back of the drivers seat, is a small but powerful voiced hand organ. which is ground by the driver. At the back of the wagon are steps leading up to the platform and .on the ground at the steps stands the man who collects the money and at- tends to the loading of the machine.
 Such is the travelling merry-go- round. and when 1t turns into a street there is excitement in the block. IL draws all the children and they all want to ride. Children with eager faces race for home and mother to get the required cents. and the chill dren that have no money stand around and see their fortunate friends ride. and there are always sure to be adults as we'll standing by to watch the spectacle.
 The very small children are passed up and seated face outward on the low seat around the center pole and the children big enough to take care of themselves mount the horses and the goats. All filled up. the boss gives the signal and the man at the crank begins to turn and the ma chine begins 10 revoIve. while the man at the front grinds on the organ, and then there is excitement on the merry-Ko-rOund.

ic, so 1t will be no great strain on Brother Rockefeller to contribute a million or so to the republican cam paign fund.
 Empty dinner pails and half full ones is the best the republicans can boast of in this campaign. Republi- can boasts of being prosperity produc- CTS will hardly satisfy labor under these circumstaces.
 There would seem to be some fric- tion between Chairman Hitchcock and Secretary Dover of the republi- can national committee, which indi- cates that the old Hanna machine is hanging back in the traces.
 The headquarters of the republican committee in New York has high ball alley" which connects it with the Republican Club grill room and bar. Thus the thirsty republican patriots get their drinks at cost price. Vice-President Fairbanks has evil dently not full confidence in MT Roosevelt, or perhaps it Is MT Taft. for he says: There are too many who profess decency in politics, but who do not carry their propositions into ecect." .-.-

TORPEDO WITHIN TORPEDO.
First Explosion Sends Second Charge
 Inside Where It Is Ignited.

Ordnance experts of the army and navy yesterday expressed great satis- faction at the performance of the new Davis torpedo gun, invented by Com modore Cleland Davis, United States navy. The tests were made at Fort Strong in Boston harbor Tuesday, three of the projectiles being fired and in every test the target was overturned. Brigadier General Mur- ray. chief of artillery, was among the officers who witnessed the tests.
 The Davis torpedo is combination gun and projectile in itself, and is effective at at least 5000 feet, hav- ing its own motive power. similar to that on the ordinary Whitehead tor pedo. The projectile is in two parts. It is 45 centimeters in diameter and five meters long. The outer tube is about two-thirds the length of the inner torpedo and behind the torpedo proper is 40 pounds of high explosive. When the nose of the projectile comes in contact with an obstacle, which stops its progress-preferably the enemy's ship-the concussion, no matter how slight, sets of that 40 pounds of explosive. The explosion drives the projectile through the ob- ject struck and at the same time starts a time fuse that causes the torpedo proper to explode few sec onds later. It is this double action that gives the Davis projectile its great value. The two objective points in aiming at the enemy's vessel are naturally the magazine and engine room. If the magazine is struck, the result is obvious; If the engine room receives the force of the blow the least that can happen is to stop the machinery of the vessel.
 Commodore Davis has been work ing on his idea for the past two years and for year he was baked by the want of a metal that would hold when the first 40 pounds of ex- plosive let go. His first tube weighed 1 1,000 pounds and was so heavy that he could not float it to the objective point. Then he began experimenting with steel processes in an effort to find something that would give him the necessary strength, together with lightness. He found what he wanted in vanadium. combined with chroni- um and nickel. The result is that the tube used to-day weights so pounds instead of 1000 and still gives the tensile strength necessary to hold when 40 pounds of high ex- plosive Is ignited. This low weight was found only after intricate and trying experiments at the Bethlehem steel works under the direction of Commodore Davis.

The republican plan for the pub
 licity of campaign contributions "af-
 ter election is evidently a political
 fake to fool those who believe that
 contributions from trusts and cor
 porations are returned by recipro-
 cal favors, says one writer. Con-
 gressman Gaines. of West Virginia,
 has let the cat out of the bag, and
 as ke was chairman of the commit
 tee which favorably reported the publicity bill, he undoubtedly knows all about such political schemes. A dispatch from Hot Springs, where Mir Gaines is visiting Mir Taft, re- ports Mir Gaines having said to-day that he was in sympathy with the efforts of both Mir Taft and NIT Bry- an to have publicity, but he feared that the local political managers, the men who have to get the dough" would do just as they have done in years gone by and neither Mir Taft nor Mir Bryan would be told about it. ''I do not say" remarked the West virginian. that the publicity law puts a premium on perjury, but it puts veracity at a disadvantage. am not in favor of any legislation that makes a conscientious man less available as a campaign manager than a man with an elastic con- science" Congressman Gaines is a shrewd republican politician and a leader of his party and he plainly tells Us that the republican man. aEers have to get the dough" and that political corruption will four ish as in other campaigns. So all this talk of not receiving contribu- lions from trusts by the innocent Taft and the promise of publicity after election is but new scheme to fool the voters. Well ve expected as much.

The Protective Tariff league has issued a bulletin asking the benefi- charles of the tariff to get to work at once on the scientific facts" as to the cost of production in foreign countries, compared with the cost of production in the United States This evidence of cost is to be pre- sented to the committee on ways and means to show that it would be ru- ination to the trusts and manufac- turers to have their tariff protection reduced and be compelled to com pete with foreign producers. The league has given its members a hard nut to crack, for the English. German and French manufacturers are not likely to furnish the secret of the cost of producing their goods to their competitors here. The real object of the league is to show that the foreign manufacturer can pro- duce much cheaper than the Amer ican manufacturer can, because la bor Is cheaper abroad than here. And the argument of the league is em balmed by the standpatters in the republican platform which declares: Tn all tariff legislation the true principle of protection is best main tained by the imposition of such duties as will. equal the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, together with reasonable profit to American in- dustries." There is one serious stumbling block to putting this standpat theory of the differences in cost here and abroad into practica; operation and that is the we'll known aversion of manufacturers to give away the secrets of their trade and expose their profits. Some of oui manufacturers are declaring the, must have more protection, for in- stance the Potters truss. with head quarters at Trenton, New Jersey, is demanding higher tariff rates on its products and some republican con- gressmen. including Speaker Can non, have promised it to them. Prob ably other trusts have been assured of greater tariff protection by the republican managers. if they aid lib- erally with contributions to the campaign fund. But how can the republicans explain away the fact that many of the protected trusts are selling abroad cheaper than at home? To do that successfully the labor cost here must be even less than the labor cost abroad. brought about by the use of superior ma chinery and the more agile and com- potent American workmen. That is the very best evidence of the neces- sity of tariff reform, for why should not the American people have chance at the bargain counter which the trusts and combines offer as well as foreigners? If the cost of produc tion here Is so much greater than abroad that the trusts have to b. protected from foreign competition by an average tariT tax of 75 per cent and more on manufactured products. how can the trusts under sell the foreigners on their own ground?
