It seems clear enough that the
hopes Of General Grants recovery
were not well founded. The dis
ease was partially arrested by the
hopes that were kindled in the
Generals heart, and by the efforts
of the physicians, but it was only a
temporary surcease. He is going
steadily down to the grave, and If
he survives until the anniversary
of the taking of Gettysburg comes
around again it will be wonderful.
When, in answer to his direct
question, DR.. Barker said he should
hope to find him still alive upon
his return in the Autumn, II was
equivalent to his saying he did not
expect to. Evidently the old Cap
tain is fighting at last foe which
no mortal power can Withstand,
and one of these mornings we shall
read that the struggle is over.

WASTE OF BULLETS IN WAR

Our readers may have seen or
heard the statement, that it takes
4 soldiers weight of lead to kill
him in battle and they may have
considered it to be merely rhetor-
ical hyperbole, suggested by the
obvious fact that comparatively few
out of the whole number of shots
in war take effect. It seems, how
ever, that the assertion, which
originated with the famous Marshal
SAKE, was proved by Cassendi, after
careful mathematical calculation,
to be no exaggeration and, with
all the improvements that have
been made in muskets and the art
of using them effectively, it is still
not far from the truth. At the
battle of Sulferino, a comparison
of the number Of shots fred on the
Austrian side, with the number
killed and wounded on the part OF
the enemy, shows that 700 bullets
we're expended for each man wound
cd and 1920 for each one killed.
Now, as the average weight OF the
ball used was thirty grams, it must
have required at least one hundred
and twenty-six Kilograms, or about
two hundred and seventy-seven
pounds of lead to kill man. In
the Franco-Prussian War the
slaughter caused by the needle gun
among the French shows how much
superior that fre-arm was to the
Austrian carbine /; but about one
thousand three hundred shots were
required then to accomplish the de-
struction of single soldier. 1t is
found in practice that great ma
iority of the wasted bullets 20 over
the heads Of the enemy hence re-
sort is sometimes had to the expe-
dent Of pressing down, by means
of a staff. the muskets Of a platoon
Of men about to fire a sergent be-
ing detailed for the service. When
the shots are aimed at an isolated
soldier, the chances against him
.re of course greater: but even
then the waste of lead is.something
enormous. In the Franco-Prussian
War, according to an officer who
witnessed the performance, a
French company of chasseurs fired
for quarter Of an hour at a Ger
man mounted sentry posted on
hillock about three hundred yards
off. Fully four hundred shots
we're fred before either man or
horse was hit. A really expert
marksman would probably have
picked off the man at the very first
attempt, or certainly at the second.

The BEE has received several letters
urging the claims of various towns for the

school, but we do not intend to publish
any of these letters for the reason that we
do not favor any one location more than
another, and because we are opposed to
the establishment of another normal
school at this time, when the people are
suffering from ove~r-taXation, low prices,
and general depression. The normal
school at Peru is sufficient for all practi,
cal purposes fer several years to come.

THE time is approaching when Cover,

his veto power in the event Of the passage
of certain bills, which have been re,om,
mended for passage by the committees to
which they were referred. One of these
bills is the Metz liquor bill, which Is in
tended as a substitute for The Slocumt
high license law. The principal feature
of this bill is to make the license not lee;
than $500 all over the state, In ether

Our attention has hesn called to tie
fact that early in the month of January
Hen. Ii. ". Crook, introduced In the
house a bill, No. 70, which aims to do
away withthe abuses of the assessment sys-
tenn In regard to railroad properly. This
bill is superior in every respect to the one
introduced by Mr.. Troup at a much later
date, andit Is rather surprising that Mi.
Troup should endeavor to distract the
legislature by introducing his own bill! in.
stead of contenting himself with Offering
amendments to the Crook bill, If any
were needed. Mr.. Troup's bill simply pro.
p;ses to continue the system Of assessing
all railroad property, excepting local I'm
p%rovemenis, ihr, ugh the st,te board Of
equalization, which near the governor,
auditor and treasurer. This system is In
reality In direct conflict with the constitu.
tion, which Gays in article 8, section L;
"The legislature shall provide such
revenue as may be needful by levyipg a
tax by valuation 30 that ey. ry person and
corporation shall pay a tax in prof. ortion
to the value Of his, her Or is property
and franchises"
This provision contemplates a uniform
and impartial system OF ASSESSMENT.
Railroad property under the present l,a
is not assessed in ;hs tame manner al
the property Of individuals or other ocr
porations, which in effect Is a di,crimin
a ion contrsrY 70 the spirit II not to tn,
