self was important, but far more Sc
was the team work---the concerted
action, Of the ships as units, as d.vl-
slons, as squadrOns, as a homogene
c,s fleet. Battle tactics, which never
but ou,e before the cIuise had been
successfully carried put---because, fo'
the most part, Of the incompleteness
Of the fleet---were INDUCED in at
various stages OF the voyage, from
the bednning to the end
Was the value of the cruise equal
to the additional expense to the gov
ernment occaH oned by II? The Presi-
deni and his naval ahiefs declared
from the beginning that 1t would be
and now, II was---many times over
Congress, Always skeptical as to
heavy expenses, at last, apparently, Is
satisfied with the answer.
Precisely how muon greater was
the COST of maintaining the fleet on
this cruise than Il wclld have been
rwder normal cruising conditions in
Atlantic home waters, Is difficult to
estimate. The principal item of in
creased cost was that of coal CON
sumption This increase, as nearly as
Admiral COwles chief of equipment,
Is abe to estimate 1t, will amount
In all to about $l,3O0,O0O. Since the
usual appropriation of $5,00O,O00 for
all equipment purposes sufficiently
meets the requirements, II was ne2-
essay for a deficiency appropriation
OF 81 100000 to be voted by Congress
for the additional coal bill Much OF
this extra cost was IN transporting
the coal, which had 10 be shipped
from the Atlantic coast to the var
ious ports around South America,
and to Honolulu, Australia, Manila,
Japan and Gibraltar. Some native
coal al points on the cruise was used
but none was so good as the Amerl-
can product. The last shipment, to
Gibraltar, consisted nf about 22,00U
6ons Approximately 1885, 900 tons
were consumed ON the entire cruise,
the total cost Of whi0h was about
$2 100000.
The cost CT oil was an important
item, running Perhaps near 10 $780,
200, and tlhis, due TO the almost con-
tlnuens Funnlng of the ships, Is reclS-
oned as possibly double the amount
that was burned by the Same number
OF sips In the same period time just
prior TO the cruise
A bigger item of expense than
this was that of provisions for the
blue Jackets but this represents lit
lie increase----not more than two TO
FIVE per cent of the whole. Ali the
provisions were carried in naval
supply slips and most were pur-
chased in the At'anhic and PaalNic
coast markets. Such feIsh provisions

POPULAR SUBSCRIPTION

ia the general assembly denies Gov
ernor Harmon the money with which
TO make an investigation into the
state offices and institutions, the
amount may be raised by popular sub
scription. A number of prominent
men OF the state have volunteered
10 donate TO the fund in order that
the people may know what has been
going on in these offices and these
institutions.
Last fall the people voted for a
change all around. They secured it
in two OF the most important offices,
but the Republican Legislature has set
down It's foot that no farther shall
those men go and that in so far as
they can prevent no inquiry shall be
made. The people are determined to
know some things and they have a
man at the head of the state gov
ernment who Is of the very same
opinion. Governor Harmon is con-
WINGED that things are not as they
should be. He has made an honest
and an earnest effort to inquire into
conditions, but the legislators have
tried to tie his hands. He asked
them for $4,000 with which to EN-
ploy experts to make the investiga-
tion and the general assembly has
turned a deaf ear to his entreaty. Now
the people are so determined to know
what has been going on that they
are willing to dig down into their
pockets and furnish the money with
which TO make the inquiry.
Last fall an appeal was made TO
the people by William jennings Bry-
an, the Great CommOner, for one dol
lar subscriptions to his campaign
fund. The replies were numerous
and the result was that the Demo

nitude. Although It was nothing TO
compare with the fund which was
alpassed by the Republicans, 1t en-
abled them TO do many things which
would have otherwise been impossible.
II Governor Harmon should appeal
10 the people of Ohio for one dollar
contributions to fund TO aid in in
quiring into the manner in which
business has been transacted and the
manner in which the people in the
various state institutions are treated,
the probability is that he would with
IN a very few days ,have sufficient
money 10 prosecute his inquiry, and

greater care was taken In the selec-
tlon OF foods than usual, owing to
the long cruise anG the supposed
dangers in the way OF diseases that
insight be encountered, yet the set al
lowance Of $.3475 Il day for each
man was never exceeded. The aver
age daily cost or provisions was
$451 rs, and the cost OF feeding the
men for the en,llye cruise was ap-
proximately $4,000.

profited by the cruise as well as the
navigating branches. Naval con-

The high class OF the enlisted per-

formidability of the fleet abroad.
Foreign officials who viewed the
fleet are on record as having been
won with a greater respect for thu
United States when they gazed on
the splendid engines OF war in their

ships have just completed a cruise
around the world, sailing a distance
Of about forty-two thousand miles
and in the time the repairs which
have been necessary have been very
slight. In fact the vessels returned
to Hampton Roads in almost as good
a condition as they left. This was
the greatest voyage ever attempted
by the navy OF any country and it's
completion demonstrates conclusively
that the United States navy is by no
means the plaything which some
self appointed experts tried to make
us believe, some months ago.

offices and institutions. The state
legislature could doubtlessly stand
for the disgrace, for it is next to
shame proof and the people could
better afford to permit the state to
be disgraced than TO allow conditions
to remain as they are. The suspi-

and they will not be quieted until
they know whether everything is all
right in the management OF the af-
