Keeiy Shoots.

Mr.. Keely Ia again to the front with
his motor. He has charged gun with
1t at Sandy Hook and the shot went out
OF the gun and occasionally penetrated
the target. Mr.. Keely does not set up
for his motor any great value as a shot
propeller. He merely propelled the shot
as convenient way to show that the
motor has power. The company OF gen.
tlemen who witnessed the experiment
we're much impressed. Col. Hamilton,
OF the United States artillery, expressed
tho opinion that any man who denied
merit to the motor, without investiga'
tion, was fool and doubtless the
colonel is right in that opinion.
In these DAYS when so many
wonderful things are discovered,
it will not do TO hastily say that any
thing is impossible I; even the genera.
tion Of new power out of gill of water.
1t was about that quantity of water
we believe, which Mr. Keely man
ufactured in his machine to shoot
the bullets out of his gun. Mr..
htbiy uDt5 uDL hlDN fU"Ci 10
nor whence it comes he only knows and
shows that it is there. That should be
satisfactory evidence of it; there is
nothing like seeing 10 make one bslieve :
But then we must be sure of what we
see. There is a game of thimblerig, in
which you are sure you see the balls, but
you don't. As Colonel Hamilton says,
the wise man investigates before he be-
lieyes or denies.
The trouble with Mr.. keely, however,
is that he does not submit to investiga
tion. He did not introduce his Sandy
Hook spectators to the mystery of his
gun. They do not know what made the
shot leave il, except rs they believed Mr..
Keely and it seems appropriate to sug.
gest 20 Colonel Hamilton that the ma n
who puts faith in the statement that the
propulsion was by an unknown force,
without investigation, is not very wise
man.

AN officer of the Manhattan eleyal ed
railway, in New York, talking to a re
porter about a man who had been killed
by its negligence, congratulated himself
that it was case Of killing, where the
law limited the damages to $1,000, and
not one OF manning, where the
damages are moderated, and might
have been $4,000 which is a
striking commentary upon the excess
sive stupidity or venality of legislation
that limits damages in case of death and
not in that of injury. The influences of
railroads in legislation being no longer
stronger than that of the people 1t is
time for such an illogical statute to be
repealed.

Ecening Netcs of that town says: The
game between tho Domestics sud Ironsides
was the finest that has been played on the
grounds sinoo the famous fifteen iuning
game, which was between the Same two
clubs. The Domestics played for all that
they were worth, but they were shut out.
Nine innings they were ut the hat, and rs
many times failed TO score. The pitching
OF llyndman, of the Ironsides, was very
effective, and the home club could only
secure three base hits off his delivery.
Manager Pierson played right field for tho
home team. 1t looked as though white
wash would be saved at ono time when in
the third inning Hatfield made q three
base hit, but he was kept there by the
sharp fielding of the Ironsides. la the
sixth inning Hyndman made two base
hit and reached third on passed ball by
Gaunt. fischer made clean base hit and
Hyndmsn scored q run.
In tho seventh inning Gaunt reached
third base on errors and no one was out.
Weigand was Immediately retired ON foul
and Stouc was put out by fly to left field.
All through the game tho most Intense
interest was manifested. In the ninth
inning Higgins reached third base on Lut
berry's error, and q two base hit by Nc
Tamany brought him home. The Domes-
ties failed to score in the final inning and
they were compelled to retire from the
field whitewashed.
The fielding on both sides was rorIarka-
bly, brilliant. Z. Pierson. Stone, Gaunt
and Hickman did the best for the Domes.

IliE Republican party has just given
new illustration of its desire for re-
form in governmental affairs 10y driving
from Office one OF its most honest and
efficient public officers. Col. Dudley,
the commissioner Of pensions, though a
Strict partisan, was at all times an enemy
of the pension SHARKS who made vast
sums of money by swindling ignorant
claimants. He it was who contributed
largely to the exposure of the Fit1geralds
and the strong pension pool thal had
been organized with u view to pluuier
the Ignorant baneilciaries of the govern
ment. Dudley's assduity in the correc
tion of wrongdolng has not, however,
been much appreciated by his party. It
has, in fact, stirred up for him q great
deal OF enmity from the powerful public
thieves enthroned in power in Wash
ington. 1t has even been Whispered that
the Interior department showed little
cooperation with the pension commis-
sioner IN his work Of reform. The latter
has therefore determined TO cease his no.
hui work and devote his future time and
energies to his own private business. lie
Is wise man In his generation. Re-
manning in the pension Office he would,
doubtless, be held responsible for many
peculations and irregularities in his de.
parsment, for the prevention of which
his hands would be tied. He is also, in
all probability, OF tia opinion that the
Republican lease of power is very brief,
and that he will do we'll in abandoning
the sinking ship while there is yet time.
