Experiments With the GatlIrG Gun
Mt -Ortress Monroe.

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov ia sec-
ond series OF experiments with the Cat.
ling gun, for the purpose OF testing its
efficiency against q regiment ofintantry
advancing by column Of company, WAS
tried here to-day, under the direction Of
toe former board Of officers. OF which
General Gilmore IS president.
For this purpose ten targets, one hun
d'ed feet ia length, were placed at a
distance OF fifty feet apart, the frat
being one thousand yards from the gun.
10 the first trial six hundred shots
were fired, Of which five hundred and
twenty six struck the targets, but the
party who was handling the gun did
not have the proper range, and second
trial was had. In this, as 10 the tor
mer, siX hundred rounds were fired,
with the following results: The first
target was struck three hundred and
seven times; the second. two hundred
snd forty-four; the third. one hundred

II Peace Now, How TO Avoid WaI
with Spain Hereafter.

Should peace be maintained through Spain
acceding to the demands of our government
steps should be taken to prevent the possibility
of war hereafter about Cuba. As long as
Spain holds the island, no matter what party
may be in power at Madrid, republican,
monarchical or any other, there will always
be danger Of serious difficulties or even of war.
1t has been 80 a long time under different
forms of government and must continue to be
SO. In fact, the colonial government in Cuba
has ever been the worst despotism, whether
Spain has been republican or monarchicaL
There can be no guarantee of peace for us
but through the independence OF Cuba. Our
government sho1ld, then, adopt policy to
that end by recognizing either the belligerency
or independence Of the Cubans if even Spain
accede to our demands in the Virginius case.
There never was, and, probably, never will be,
o better opportunity to remove fruitful cause
of dispute and irritation, to obliterate the
stain of slavery in this hemisphere and to
promote the cause of republican liberty over
American territory. The administration and
Congress will make great mistake if they let
this opportunity slip.
The New York herald., 1873-11-28
The Cost of War.

Those who are for peace at any price en-
deavor to influence the public mind by talk
ing about and exaggerating the cost of war.
Undoubtedly war is great evil and to be
avoided, if possible; but national dishonor
and humiliation cost more in the end than
pecuniary losses amount to in a just war. A
war with Spain could not be either long or
very costly one. Spain has no resources for
prosecuting lengthy or vigorous war. We
should require only small army or Land
force to operate in Cuba The Cubans, il
supplied with arms and sustained by the
United States, could drive the Spaniards from
the island. The greatest cost would be in fit
ting out an efficient navy and putting our
coast defences in good order. 1t is necessary
this should be done anyway, war or no war,
and the expenditure for it need not be very
great As to the Spaniards landing force
or damaging property to any extent on our
own soil, that is not possible. Our commerce
might suffer for time and Spain might set
afoat privateers to prey upon our merchant
marine, but we could retaliate and seize as
much, probably, as we should lose. Then,
nearly all of our most valuable commerce is
carried in foreign bottoms The appropria-
ton or independence Of Cuba might be made
worth as much to the United States as the
money cost of war. Besides, this everlasting
source Of trouble, the Spanish possession Of
Cuba, would be removed forever. The war
could not be long or very costly.

A Reform I'm Opera.

response has at last been vouchsafed to
our long and earnest appeals for Italian opera
to be presented to the American public as it
is given in the principal opera houses Of
Europe A reform has taken place of such
sweeping character as to sink into utter insig-
nifcance oil previous attempts in that line.
The first representation of verdi's latest work,
aida on Wednesday night was . complete
surprise for all opera hdbitu<s in this city. Mr.
Strakosch seemed to have gone from the ex-
treme of operate poverty in regard to the
mounting of an opera to the uttermost limits
of stage effect, exceeding even the best efforts
Of our theatrical managers. The seven scenes
of the opera presented nothing that has ever
been seen before on the boards Of the Academy
of Music, and they were placed before the
public in manner with which no one
can find fault. The costumes and other
appointments were equally worthy of
commendation, and the general rendering Of
the music was praiseworthy. The chorus and
orchestra did wonders, considering the weak
ness of these departments for many seasons
past and the conscientious efforts of Signor
Muzio were productive of the most satisfactory
effect. Altogether the production of this
grand work marks new epoch in Italian
opera in this country, and it is but reasonable
to expect that it will be criterion for the
future in the presentation Of great works ON
the lyric stage. Each subsequent performance
will prove the correctness of the managers
judgment and will be an additional triumph
to Impresario Strakosch and his unrivallod
company. "Aida' produced popular sensa-
ton on the first night, and tonight it will,
likely, be greater success.

The Ho0sac Tunnel.

1t is now nearly half century since the
Hoosac Tunnel became familiar to the readers
of newspapers. As far back as 1925 it was
gravely proposed to tunnel the Hoosac Noun
tain, in order that canal might be made to
connect Boston with the Hudson River at the
junction of the Erie Canal with that river.
Time passed on; proposal after proposal was
made; contract after contract was entered into;
but up almost until the present it has seemed
as if the Hoosac Tunnel project had been
kept alive merely for the benefit of politicians
and coptractors. 1t is only within the last
few months that the work was so far advanced
that the public had any assurance that the
tunnel would ever be completed. The present
contractors went into the work heartily, and
such has been their success that it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that before the Fourth OF
July next the tunnel will be open for the
purposes for which it was intended. When
completed this great engineering enterprise
will take rank with the greatest works of the
kind which will ysre this age distinction in the
years to come-with the Suez Canal, the Pacific
Railroad and the Mont Gents Tunnel and
the State of Massachusetts is to be congratu-
lated on the prospective completion Of work
which, while it will be gain to itself, will be
Oh advantage to the entire Union. The labor
has been long, the expense has been great,
but the completed work will be full and
satisfactory reward
An idea Of the magnitude of the work may
be gathered from the following figures In
length the tunnel will be 25,031 feet. There
will be two shafts, one of 1,028 and the other
of 318 feet in depth. The roadway will be "a
feet wide, the height from grade to roof 26
feet, the whole costing the Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts, upwards of twelve millions Of
dollars. It will be the second largest tunnel
in the world. The Mont Cenis Tunnel is
seven miles in length; the Hoosac will be
four and three-quarter miles. What effect
this new road will have on the trades indus
tries and commerce of the East and West
has yet to be tested. After the Pacific
Railroad it is the greatest piece OF en-
gineering which the United States have under
taken and all but accomplished, and its sue
cessful completion will encourage the hope
that the isthmus Of Panama will not much
longer be allowed to obstruct the rapidly
growing trade of the New World. According
to ancient prophecy the rough places are to be
made plain and the crooked places straight.
We are seeing Scripture fulfilled every day.
Mountains are no longer barriers, and seas no
longer divide. The Hoosac Tunnel is another
triumph of our modern civilization.

ONE Coop RESULT AT LEAsT.-There is
one good, if nothing more, likely to result
from the present imbroglio with Spain. We
refer to the restoration of kindly feeling be-
tween the Northern and Southern portions of
the country, even to the obliteration to some
extent of the deeply-drawn lines created by
our war for the Union If this desideratum
should be fully accomplished the troubles
arising out of our complications with Spain
will be amply repaid
The New York herald., 1873-11-28

The family dinner, with the necessary turkey,
was almost universally enjoyed, and for one
day at least people seemed to forget that war
with Spain was imminent, and even that
hard winter is before us 1t was a day of
thankfulness, festivity and feasting, celebrated
as only happy and contented people can
celebrate day of national Thanksgiving.

q serious matter. Remember, too, that
quadruple sheet of the Misunderstanding
sixteen pages, or ninety-six columns, Of closely
printed matter, as much reading, let us say, as
an ordinary octave book Of four hundred
pages-is sold, wholesale and retail, at the price
we ask for one ordinary sheet; and, as this sell
ing price, like that Of the other journals is
closely calculated upon the value Of the
ordinary sheet of white paper, every increase
in the size Of the HERALD-triple, quadruple
and quintuple sheets-involves largely in
creased expense for which we do not always
receive an adequate return. Of course there
is the return from the increased number OF ad-
vertisements; but this largely incrtssed ex-
pense consequent upon the enormous and
necessary supply of additional white pape.' is
felt in the aggregate revenues.
This is simple business explanation, and
it tells the whole story. For twenty-five
years the problem Of the HERALD has been
how to keep its business in control, and GER
tainly not to increase it by dubious and i'm
proper expedients. We have o double duty.
We desire to satisfy the business wants of
New York, and at the same time to publish
complete newspaper. 1t is daily perplexity
with US to reconcile this double, or, it may be
called, divided duty; 80 that nothing could
be more absurd than the suggestion that we
are compelled to strengthen our business
revenues by seeking immoral advertisements.
We will now take another view Of the SUBJ
ject We say that no journal in New York
edits its advertising columns more ripidly
than the HERALD has done for years. We saw
further, that no journal is governed in it's
advertising business by stricter maxims than
the HERALD. Every journalist feels that the
existence of advertising agencies has the same
effect upon journalism that protective tariff
has upon trade-a few are benefited and the
real tradesmen are injured. The HERALD
years ago proclaimed its independence Of this

and the sugar planters win all the time. 1t is
for this reason that the inhabitants Of Cuba
are not permitted to share in any of the bene-
fits of the Spanish revolution. No matter
whether there is a republic in Spain or mon
archy-whether Carlos or CASTELAR, be in the
place of supreme power-Cuba will remain
where she is; slavery will be continued and .
barbarous repression will be the only indica-
ton the home government will give of its
knowledge of the existence of the colony.
To such state Of affairs there is no neces-
sary limit in time, if it be not that the contin-
uation Of war that lapses more and more
into simple barbaric butchery must eventually
compel civilized neighbors to interfere, not
merely for the sake Of humanity, but also to
when, under cover Of the war they pretend to
wage for their own defence, the Spanish
cruisers sally out like Algerines to capture
and kill, taking our ships, and ruthlessly mur-
dering all persons they find on board. The
actual occupation Of the island might eventu-
act now in such way as to help the Cuban
people to their freedom. If we insist upon
that abolition Of slavery that we have already
demanded we shall do great deal for them
in this direction, for we shall cut the very
ground from under the Power that keeps up
-. agitation for holding the island; but if we
800. ize them as belligerents and give them
tbs, ss,1s rights TO equip ships in our ports

for them than we could by Obtaining the abo-
lition ii s or slavery, and we shalt 81 . short
