delay attending the adaptation of any
machinery to new uses, and much of the
work of the past year had been in this di-
rection. At this time, however, he felt
warranted in saying that the plant of the
yard was in good condition for turning
out all classes of work up to and includ-
ing the 10.inch gun. When tho new
lathe was put up they would be able
to handle anything up to sixteen inches
caliber, 30 far as turning and boring were
concerned. Some further enlargement
of heating facilities might be required to
shrink on the jackets OF very large guns,
and the cranes used to handle their parts
might need additional strengthening.
All in all Mr., Davis thought tho capacity
of the works at tho present time WAS
sufficient TO keep say twenty guns of
different calibers In hand at time with
out Inconvenience. and to work them
along in various stages of progress SO rs
To finish them at the rate of from one to
one-and.a-half per month, or perhaps two
of the lesser cAlibors. This, he said, do
pended very much on the amount OF
work they were enabled to keep in hand.
If tho orders of the bureau were sulf-
cient to keep tho lathes full-that is to
say, putting new tube in hand tho mo-
ment finished ono was ready for its
jacket, and 80 on-the capacity might
prove even greater than he had suggested.
But in tho present case, where a stated
number of guns were being made, SO that
there was no now work to DO put on
whenever there might be room for 1t,
an accurate estimate of the maximum
capacity would be hard to arrive at.
The force of men now employed, Mr..
Davis said was about $50. But this in
cluded not only the machinists, but also
tho hands employed in the casting
foundry, those working on carriages,
making projectiles, &C., together with the
twenty-odd hands employed on wood
work in the pattern shop. He could not
say without referring to his roll just how
many machinists were employed upon
the guns alone.

THE Eagle Pass Journal inveighs very
bitterly against the United States Gov
eminent for removing the soldiers from
there and leaving the citizens subject to
the fury of an excitable and hostile race.
1t attributes the removal OF the troops
TO a local spite betw cen one individual
and a few army officers. 1t calls upon
the people to unite and endeavor to Sc
cure the re-establishmeDt of the militia
ry there to protect the lives and prop
erty of the citizens from raids liable TO
be made at any time. Probably the
journal is a little e~xtravagant IN talk
ing about ahostiie race that will make
raids across the border. There can be
no doubt that tbs presence of the sol
diers was 2 benefit 10 the business inter

TEXAS STATE OFFICIAL PURITY.

1t is pleasant to turn from the picbald
field OF National politics, where the
personal immoralities of candidates are
being so freely bruited, to the purcr
theatre OF Texas competition for cNecu-
tive prelormeut. The Democratic party
has been in power for the past decade,
and no fearful acts of gross immortality
have ever been alleged against those
whom the dominant party ave onored
with their nOminatiUnal endorsement.
No disgusting vices have ever been
limited at by the most Jealous opposi-
ton, whilst the high character for per-
sonal hongr has ever been unassailed.
No l~iasOns, no ~deialcatlon, no
corruption has ever been lald

mocracy have stamped with their APP
prevail, and whilst Federal officials have
been decapitated and imprisoned for
acts of turpitude, those whom the peo-
pie of Texas have put in power have
served their terms and retired from
office with vestments unspotted by o e
in their own camp or without.
This is refreshing, and a source OF self
graduation OF which Texans may
well be proud. Who is there in all

hardihood to say that JOHN IRELAND

ETuT Colorado City Graphic wants To
know why SENATOR GIHns did not tell
the people the reason why 81 many
herds oi cattle have been driven out OF
the state In the last few months. The
Big Springs Paragraph says the cattle
men are leasing and occupying Nil the
lands. II is strange these free grass or
gans cart occupy one common ground
In the advocacy Of their pet scheme for
the benefit of syndicatcs and large cattle
companies. one say, the herds are be
Ing driven out of Texas, the other as
,rrtS they are occunying all the lands
subject to lease, The truth Is, probably,
the cattle driven out of the S%tatcsre go-
ing to market, and the owners do not
vacate any of the lands. If they do
vacate the country will be taken up by
actual settlers. The lease law is work
ing well enough; let IL alone.
