THE United States commission, ap-
pointed to investigate and report to
congress the feasibility of establish
ing a gun foundry, went through
France and Germany and took a
trip to Russia. Herr Krupp would
not allow his famous foundry to be
visited unless orders were given for
guns, and so three United States Off
GERS were detailed to visit Russia and
examine a well-known foundry near
st. Petersburg, owned in part by the
government. There the Krupp plo-
cess was seen. The fluid steel process
is used there as at the works of Sir
Joseph Whitworth, at Manchester,
England, but not the successful pro-
cess of hydraulic forging. Col. 7. G..
Baylor, of the committe, says:
1.-THE only gun worth building now
for either army or navy is the steel
breech-loader. 1t is made of separate
pieces. France is now making lot
of guns with cast-iron body, steel
tube and steel bands. We have moth
ing at all in this country to compare
with the guns abroad. In fact, there
is not piece of ordinance in our SER
vice that should not be sold, unless.
perhaps, it is the little Hotchkiss steel
repeating gun. But that is so small
that it does not count. All our iron
cannon ought to be sold. We have

Ii the River Plate republics of South
America, alone, there are 100000
sheep and 100000 cattle to a popu-
lation of 100000. For years sheep
were only valued there for their
wool, and when fiayed, carcasses
were left to rot, or, when dried in the
sun, piled up in stacks for fuel, while
later on they were boiled down for
their tallow. Sheep get very fat in
the province of Buenos Ayres, and
those of three and four years will
give frequently from IS to % pounds
of tallow. Countless numbers of
sheep are boiled down every year IN
the so-called greaseries only for their
tallow, which forms one of the staple
articles of export. The mutton is
thrown away, or used in dry state as
fuel. In the five years ending with
1850, more than 100000 sheep and
100000 horned cattle were boiled down
simply for their tallow, in the colonies
of New South Wales and Victoria.
The condition in Texas was somewhat
similar to this after the war for seye-
raj years. Great stocks of cattle were
sold all over the state for not more than
$1.50 to $500 per head, to be converted
alone into tallow. Beeves; cows and
calves were put indiscriminately into
the slaughter pens, and after the hides
and tallow were saved the flesh was
fed to hogs or thrown away. Even
horses were killed in like manner and
for like purposes. There were no
sheep so wasted, because they were
not raised then in any quantities.
Cattle will never again be so slaugh-
tered in Texas. With the markets
opened to us every animal finds a
ready purchaser.

Speeches were made by Moorehead,
Mesler, of Missouri; Quinn, of the

Tumble Of the Wisconsin State House.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 8.-The entire
roof, inside walls, iron and stone col
umns of the new south wing of the
capitol fell at 40 p. m. to-day. Thos.
Higgins and VIM. Edger, OF Madison,
were killed; VIM. Jones, boss mason,

both legs broken and will probably

Miles Maxwell, GAINESVILLE, injured
about the head; Ed. Barnes, Madison,
Arthur Lynch, Chicago. Mike Shank,
Madison, and many others badly in
jured. The cause of the terrible ac-
cident is somewhat uncertain, but the
most plausible theory is that the
heavy iron pillars supporting the roof
of the second story of the balcony
sank into the planks, on which they
rested, thus pulling the sound wall
out and this, in turn, caused the roof
of the entire wing to cave in. These
columns were made of large pieces Of

Hitting them Hard.


1t is now very plain that Congress
man Culberson and Wellborn are
working in the interest of Tilden in
view of the campaign of 1884. In fact
their is a powerful combination at
work to this end all over the country,
yet Senator Coke declares that Tilden
is "tottering, decreptic old man, a
physical wreck, and is scarcely able to
speak above a whisper" Also, Coke
and Reagan both declare, and the fact
is well known, that in 1876 Tilden
acted the part of a coward and then
when his chances were all gone, mean
ly accused the South of selling him
out. In the face of these facts it GER
tainly displays a wonderful amount of
cheek for Texas congressman to bold
ly declare that "Tilden will and ought
to be nominated without serious OPP
position" In doing so they certainly
do not represent the sentiments of
their constituents.

THE Acknowledgements annual re-
port contains the very significant al
mission that in spite of every effort it
has been impossible to find satisfacto-
ry recruits to fill even our nominal
army of $1,000 men. And of those
who were accepted nearly one-half
were foreigners. Another extraordi-
nary feature of the report is the state
ment that the losses by discharge,
death and desertion for the year footed
up 6749 men, or 40 per cent of the
whole military establishment. Dur
ing the year 1918 men deserted, and
apparently without capture or incon-
venience to themselves. "This is a
scandalous state of affairs" says the
Washington Star, "demoralizing to
military discipline, costly to the gov
eminent, and hurtful to all concerned.
No wonder good men refuse to enlist,
if the pay, duty and social condition
of the soldier is so intolerable that
thousands in the service quit the
ranks by stealth and in violation of
their oath. at the first opportunity"
