Trouble Anon the aliddies


AT trial ut the navy yard of this city,
on the 18th inst, before board Of ma
val officers testing the effects OF some
improvements recently made on the
gun, tie results were entirely satisfac.
tory to the distinguished inventor and
astonishing to all who witnessed it.
The gun has been heretofore great
success and in popular demand by the
leading government of the world, but
with the improvements recently added
by DIR. Calling it seems to have reached
q degree Of perfection never before at
tanned by any weapon of war.
In the trial referred to the new and
improved method of supplying the
cartridges to the gun, loading and firing
was found to be very nearly perfect,
securing increased rapidity and effect,
iveness in execution. Ono hundred
shots were fired in two and six.tenths
seconds, and SIG rounds in forty two
seconds.
This improvement has not only in
creased the rapidity and directness of
fire, but also enables it to deliver "high
angle" or mortar fire at the rate of 200
shots per minute, the bullets falling
with wonderful precision and effect, as
shown by experiments at all ranges from
200 to $500 yards. The bullets so dis
charged strike the ground in their
descent with sufficient force to pene-
trate from two to three inches OF pine
boards.
This is n wonderful achievement, and
places this magnificent gun far ahead of
all machine guns. No nation can now
afford to so to war without supply of
these guns, and, us in peace is the time
to prepare for war, our own Government
should be as wise rs others and fully
supply its needs, that wars may cease
from the earth.
Before these guns, unimproved, used
by the English, the serried ranks Of the

sum, and we have a residue Of S20, 900
belonging to the people Of California, Of

When asked for an accounting, Bunker
points TO the statute which created his
Office and calls attention to the fact that
it does not provide any specific time for
a settlement between the State and It's
servantj and, sure enough, this is found
TO be true. But, sensible that the end
Of his term OF office will doubtless be
regarded by any court Of law as fitting
time for such settlement, Bunker has
started out to construct official dummies,
in the persons Of his relatives, upon
whom, according to his manipulated
books, lie has lavished princoly salaries
as his deputies, thus aiming to reduce
the States balance to next to nothing.
We are confronted in this whole trans
aation with the barefaced proposition
that the State has no rights which
Bunker is bound to respect. Another
singular feature in this curious chapter
Of official responsibility is, that man
who admits that he collected Sil 900 on
behalf of the State in three years was
only required to give bail in the sum Of
$1,000. Take this case OF Bunker for
oil In all, II is the most barofaced and
unblushing example Of official insolence
ever known. Buttoning his pockets over
the States money, this model Republi-
can office older-this example Of Perk-
mss ELUSIVE Civil Service Reform
practically tells the sovereign peo-
pie to go to blazes. He has got the
peoples money, and he undoubtedly in
tends to keep it. The aggravation Of
the affair Is not lessened whit when
one bears in mind the fact that Bunker
has had almost nothing to do, his duties
consisting entirely in an occasional call
on ship owner or ships consignce
and receiving a check for certain moneys
due the State. The actual labor per-
formed by him in the course Of year
was probably about the equivalent Of a
single months work of an ordinary book.
