A TEMPORARY FAILURE. Tie Speed Teat at the Charleston Develop* a Utile Trouble with One of Her Slides which. When Remedied, will Show lief to he One of the Fastest Ships of ttef Class Afloat.

Secretary Tracy said to a representative of the United Press in explanation of this report that the announcement that the trial was a “failure” was perhaps susceptible of wrong interpretation. It was a failure owing to certain conditions,which could, no doubt, be remedied ilyThe Trouble with the Slide. Santa Barbara. Cal., May 13.—In addition to the facts state 1 in the official report of «he trial trip of the •‘ruisei’ Charleston, it is learned that the trouble with the starboard high-pressure slide Was due to the development of some hard Spots In the steel. The defect was noticed on the trip from San Francisco, but it was thought that it had bee si eliminated before yesterday’s trip begau. The star2 board engiue’s speed had to be lowered, and this made it impossible to deliver the highest steam power of which the cruiser ia capable. During the eutire trip the quantity of steam in the boilers was in excess of requirements. Only owe slide ont of the four was affected, the others working perfectly. While the lepreseutatives of the Union Iron-works naturally feel some disappointment over the temporary trouble, ihe naval officers aboard express great confidence in the Vessel, and predict that with full po%r employed she will easily exceed uiueteeu knots. Chief Engineer Wilson. U. S. N., says; “Therejras not a crank pin. bearing or journanrarm. Kid this has never iu my experience been equaled. There was uot a tendency to ‘beat’ shown by either main or thrust bearings. With the minor difficulties developed to-day remedied, the cruiser bids fair to equal 12 > revolutions to the minute, with cousecntive speed exceeding nineteen kuots. To my view she promises to be one of the fastest ships of her class afloat.” Other officers express similar views. The Charleston is expected to take a run norttj to-morrow. THE REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA.

Qorernme *t l>i*po-cd ta be l-arttrutariy l.thcc.il l« Ilona Fide Capitalist* and l*-*lrable Immigrant*—A Change ot Policy Toward the Pope 1 States. Washington, May 12.—Edmund P. Smith, for eight years Uuited States Consul at Qarthagena. Republic of Colombia, and now a merchant iu that city, is in Washington on a short visit. “There is a great fleld for American enterprise in the Republic of Colombia.” said Mr. Smith to a reporter. “Electric lights, water-works, railroads and iee machines are particularly wanted. The government ts disposed to be particularly liberal.. ConcesstiAis will be given to bona fide capitalists for twenty-five years, and in the case of the waterworks the government will guarantee seveu per cent, on the capital invested for twenty-five years. Immigration is particularly desired, and in order to infuse new blood into the republic the government wilt pay the passage of an immigrant give him six dollars a month, 358 acres of land, a cow, two pigs, a plow aud help him build his house, and transport him free from the seaport to the point where he desires to locate. Dr. Nuuex, the President of the Republic, is doing all ia his power to develop the resources of the country, and has decided to completely change his policy toward the United plates, and to favor, as much as he possibly can, commercial and other friendly intercourse between the two repubties. He will send representatives to the ThreeAmericas Conference here.” There has been a great change of feeling on the part of Colombians towards the United States. Formerly they were very suspicious, and it was ail because they totally misunderstood the Monroe doctrine. They thought' that “America for Americans” really meant America for the Uuited States, and that suspicion and jealousy were industriously fanued by English, German and French merchants, to whose interest it was to control their trade. The foreign trade ot Colombia amounts to i38.00d.000 annually, and the United States gets very little ot it. The English and Germans control most of it. The United States ought to hare it.

RESULTS OF PROTECTION. Til* Inevitable Result of Taxing Mm Many fbr the Benefit «f the Few. Among the protection tat manufact,fcvers irho used bulldozing J»Jf envelopes iR the last campaign was P. K.

The following headlines from th3 Albany Express (Rep.) of recent date are valuable for comparison; WAGES HEAtitf r. K. DEDERICK'S MEN MOST ACCtl'S' » MS CENT.

They have not been faked whether they will accept the reduction; It hu» Ittopi* been thrust upon them.

The great strike at Fall River W&> starved out without loss to the corporations, hut with great loss and suffering to the employes. Other strikes against organised corporations will have the same end. The economic principle is plain, and all whoso livelihood is not derived from interest or dividends on capital ought to understand it as well as capitalists do. It Is this: Where a market is controlled by combinations or laws favoring combinations »o as to prevent natural competition, the organized manufacturing corporations are benefited by strikes which limtf supply. On the same principle under which trusts shut down mills to limit supply, they can afford to foreo strikes by cutting wages. The falling off in supply in the controlled mnrkot enhances the value of the stock already manufactured, while at the same time it results in a saving of wages. It is only when prlees become so high that the high tariff tax can no longer prevent importations that the combined corporations must begin manufacturing in order to hold their market Under such conditions the strike must fail. The strikers do not diminish the supply of labor so as to control prices, for they have no control over the labor market and they can not so organize as to, control 11- . The labor market is open to the world's supply. The market for the corporation Is shut off by law from the world, and these laws prevent his working-men from forcing fair wages from him. simply because in a single market under control ho gains during a general strike the wages he would have paid as well as whatever enhancement,of values of products results from increased supply. If ho had open competition, he could not afford to cut wages and force strikes. He would be obliged to run his mill or lose his market—St Louis Republic. ._

TOUGH ON DUDLEY. Th« (inat Indiana rorrwpUonl«t H*pu>U ated by Ills Friend Harrison. The attack on President Harrison by W. W. Dudley will strengthen the President with all respectable people. It was by Mr. Harrison’s association with such men as Dudley. Blaine. Quay. Elkins and others of that class that he first laid himself open to suspicions which ought never to attach to a President of the United States. That ho is now attempting to redeem himself from this association, at least in Dudley’s case, appears plainly from the letter written by that notorious corruptionist to S. Van Pelt, of Anderson, Ind. Mr. Harrison, Dudley writes, “has lost his backbone and is too cowardly to be seen consulting with mo for the simple reason that the copperheads and rebels of Indiana hare trumped up a lot of charges against me. He seems entirely oblivious to the fact that it was through my efforts that Indiana was saved to him.’’ • 4 It will be greatly to Mr. Harrison’s credit if he remains thus oblivious. Dudley is no more responsible, perhaps, for the frauds in Indiana than Quay or Clarkson, who co-operated with him in carrying them out, but he alone was detected. He exposed himself and the frauds-in a letter over his own signature; and though the frauds were consummated; though through them Indiana was carried for Harrison, he. as President, would be guilty of the grossest indecency in rewarding a man who not only gave him his seat by fraud, but did it in such a way as to put the stigma of fraud upon it In a word. Dudley was caught. So also was Blaine, whom Mr. Harrison at once made Secretary of State, but he could no more avoid doing this than he could avoid appointing Windom, Wana maker, Proctor and Clarkson. It is necessary, however, to draw the line somewhere, and the inference from Dudley’s latest letter that he has drawn it at Dudley is extremely gratifying to that by no means inconsiderable class of people who believe that the President of the United States should have a sense of decency.—Chicago Herald. Senators Must Be Protected. Another lesson in “protection.” SenUor McMillan, of Michigan, has a large establishment for the construction of freight cars at Detroit A suggestion comes from influential quarters at Washington that import duty should be charged on Canadian-built freight cars coining into this country ever Canadian railroads. It is estimated that there are 3.000 such cars in is© on our railroads. Senator McMillan wants them sent back and replaced with can from his shops. Should he succeed in his “protection” lesigns Canada will, doubtless, levy luty on American built cars, and tha commerce between the two countries will be again obstructed. Great is •protection.” especially to United ’tales Senators, —Albany ($. Y.) Ar» Mb

SECRETARY PROCTOR. } A Specimen of ttio letrtoW Evolve* by the Republican The New York World sent » member of its staff to Rutland, Vt. to find out what manner of a man Redfield Proctor, the new Secretary of War. la He finds that Proctor is the wealthiest man in Vermont; that he has made all his money in fourteen years; that he was originally a lawyer, which led to his appointment in 1875 as receiver of Meyers* & Dorr, who then ran the Sunderland Falls quarries, and. having had a disagreement, had their affairs wound up in the courts; that when the feeirership ended Proctor was found to be the owner of the quarries} that the protective tariff gave “ him a chance to operate them with immense profits, which he improved to the utmost; that by paying the lowest possible wages, running “pluck me” stores where two prices were charged for every thing, and compelling his employee to live in his tenements at fancy rentals, he kept them ail so poor that they were never able to leave his service, lest starvation over? take them before they could get out ol town; that he organised a Mg marble j trust, which, however, expired by limitation last year; and that, as matters stand, ho comes pretty nearly owning Vermont, and is In a fair way to get the whole State before he dies. This enterprising statesman went to the Chicago convention iast June at the bead of the Vermont delegation; and on every ballot, from the first to the last, when his State was called he | responded: “Vermont casts her eight j votes for Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana.” During the campaign be gave the National Republican Committee a great Mg check. And now he is Secretary of War. It is thus that ‘‘statesmen” are evolved in Republic Jl those latter daya—Indianapolis Sentinel. ^ UNBORN INDUSTRIES. Though They M»r Never See the U|kl Yet They MU»I Me Protected. The demand for protection to infant industries has had greater growth than the industries themselves. Within the last year or two this protection has been asked for infants yet unborn. Thi*’'was noted last ye^r in the discussion of the Mills bill, when the placing of tin plate on the free list was vigorously opposed. It was argued by tho friends of the bill that ▼ there was no tin plate manufactured in this, country, and that the Government did not need the revenue; the reply was that there was a fellow some-' whero in tho United Slates who contemplated establishing a manufactory to make tin plate within a few years if he could see his way clear in making it pay; and, for the protection of this industry unborn, we are paying a tariff of one cent a pound on the material of many articles of universal use. i It seems wo are not paying enough tax on this article of prime necessity. The Bulletin of tho American Iron and Steel Association, while admitting that' our importations of iron and steel are about as small as they have ever been, refers mournfully to tho fact that we are importing increased quantities of tin plates from Great Britain, and calls for such an increase in the duty as will enable this country to supply its own tin plates. As a specimen of the arrogance of protection, this demand is worth remembering. It is nothing to this favored interest that tho cost of the lar borer's dinner pail shall be doubled, provided a market be produced for a few tons more of iron. The ironmonger is Ibroide himself; much protection has made him mad..—Louisville Courier-Journal.

POLITICAL COMMENT. —Up to date Colonel William Dudley had been appointed only to a rov- » ing commission. The genuine offices appear to be out of his reach.—Atlanta Constitution. -It is reported from Washington that Senators Quay and Sherman have “fallen out." If there is any truth in the old proverb there should be some hope that honest men may profit thereby.—Chicago Leader. -The Philadelphia Press (Rep) said of Quay in 1885 that his nomination for State Treasurer of Pennyslvania “would take the lid from off the treasury and uncover secrets before which .Republicans would stand dumb” -Corporal Tannor's interpretation of the intent and meaning of the laws in relation to pensions is against the United States Treasury every time. His generosity with other people's money is something stupendous. —Boston Herald. —The difference between George Washington and Benjamin Harrison is a good deal more than a hundred years. We say this advisedly and without prejudice: It takes a mighty powerful microscope to bring out any salient features in some specimens. —Chicago News. -With the vote of ,Ji}»e South, white and black, divided upon other than the race issue, the “solid South” bugaboo will no longer be of use to the Northern demagogue and Democracy will gain in the North more than it can lose in the South.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. t -After all, in this country all power resides in the people. Sometimes they are slow to exercise it, but when their wrath is excited and they move together nothing can stand in their way. The trusts will not be with us long. Sooner or later they will have to go.—Atlapta Constitution. «.-Even the protection organ, the {» Philadelphia Press, admits the force of the apprehensions of tariff reform- f, ers regarding Porter. It says: “The free-traders are afraid that under the direction of Superintendent Porter the new census wili show up very strong s for protection. We don’t mind acknowledging to these anxious gentlemen that their fears are not wholly groundless.” There is no doubt that the new census, unlike any previous census, will show up very strong for protection, for Porter is the hired agent of the protectionists, and that’s
