In the death Of Mr.. George Jones, of the
New York Times, New York loses the last one
of the old school Of journalists who fourshed
in the metropolis in the days Of Bennett,
Greeley and Raymond. His success, which
was very marked. was due entirely to his own
exertions. In fact the careers of Horace
Greeley and himself were singular similar. the
main difference being that while Horace
Greeley forte was writing, his was manage
ment.
Like Greeley he was thrown upon his own
resources at an early age, and chance brought
them into companionship. at a time when Mr..
Greeley was printer with the literary in
stinct and Mr.. Jones was clerk with bust
ness tendencies They met again in New
York when still young men, and their friend
illness gave Ar. Jones an Introduction to Mr..
Raymond, who was Mr.. Greeley's assistant in
the early days Of the Tribune. and that &C
quaintanceship, after some years of drifting,
brought MIR. Jones and Mr.. Raymond into
partnership as publishers Of the New York
Times. Mr.. Jones being the business manager
and Nh Raymond the editor. All three of
these young men had one characteristic in
common-they were all brave enough to do
right all aggressiyely honest in their deal
ings with the public.
Mr.. Jones controlled the policy of the
Times after Mr. Raymond's death. and to his
courage in the exposure of the Tweed niamy
made in the face of temptations and threats,
much of the fame of that journal has been
due but it has at all times been N the truest
sense independent. expressing the keenest
convictions Of those who controlled its utter
snces rather than following blindly any party
or any public man.
Although Mr. Jones was not an editorial
writer, he was newspaper man" and THE
TIsus represented his personality. He helped
to found and has for many years maintained
great and useful newspaper. and. dying in
the fitness of years. he leaves il to the con-
troll of his son. Gilbert E. Jones. who is fully
equipped. by training and experience III the
business management OF the paper, 10 main
tain its high reputation without change Of its
traditions or policy.

CAT IN THE NIEAI-TUB.

Tie Secretary of War has awarded the con-
tract for building one hundred high power
guns to the Bethlehem Iron Company Of
Pennsylvania at cost of over $500 600. and
a question, which is exciting very considerable
general interest just now is why was this
done, when the Government could build the
same guns at its own factory in much less
time and for almost half the money the con-
tract calls for."
This transaction certainly has very shady
complexion, which is darkened by the fact
that the public has been kept in ignorance of
the inside workings Of the case. It is not to DO
wondered at that suspicion has been aroused,
and that it is believed there is some Republican

THK five amendments TO the Texas consti-
tuition which have been ratified by the people
of that State are quite important. The first
empowers the Legislature TO make changes in
the ballot laws, the purpose being to intro
duce the Australian system of voting. 1t pro-
vides also for the registration of voters in
cities Of 10000 inhabitants and over. The
second amendment is intended to increase the
educational work of the State, whose schools
are now kept open only four months
in the year. 1t authorizes a transfer
of per cent. OF the permanent
school fund, which is very large. to
the available school fund The third amend
ment limits the rate of interest to DO paid
under contract TO 10 per cent, and provides
that when the rate is not stated il shall be 6
per cent The fourth amendment is intended
TO provide greater facilities for adopting and
enforcing local prohibition laws, and tho
fifth provides for the creation of additional
courts of appeal in civil and criminal proce.

cat in the public meal tub. In q recent inter
view with the acting Secretary of War on the
subject, that official showed that he under-
stood the Improbable bargain he Was
making for the Government. and sought
to throw the blame upon the last Con-
gress. But bad a. that Congress was, there
seems to DO no ground upon which it can DO
held responsible for this transaction, for the
Act under which the bids were offered ex-
pressly declares that the Secretary of War
shall be authorized TO contract Hereunder
for such less number OF guns than one hun
dred as he may deem for the best interest OF
the Government"
II is very evident that in awarding the
contract the interests Of the Govern
ment have been sacrificed to advance those OF
political friends and favorites. Pennsylya-
MIA is bv no means so reliably a Republican
State As il once was, and If the party can DO

Observation-Disclosures under sny,pretext the Adj
ministration no doubt is ready to lend
helping hand to the extent of its ability.
Certain it il that every gun built under the
proposed contract will be against the best
interests Of the Government both as regards
time and money From every point Of view,
therefore, the bethlehem transaction is I'M
profitable and uncalled for. and no attempt
has SO far been made to justify it-probably
because no plausible justification can be
offered. Such trar saction NAV cause con-
siderable sum of the peoples money to be ex-
pended in Pennsylvania, but it will not tend
to restore Republican power in that State
for the thinking element of the voters will be
likely 10 conclude that it is dangerous trust
party which SO fagrantlT places partisanry
and favoritism above the public welfare.

The great twelye-inch steelriaed gun, on
which the Government has been working for
the past three years, was tested about three
weeks ago and was subjected to a second test
at Sandy Hook Tuesday, at which time 1000
pounds of wojectie were hurled far out 10
sea by means Of the heaviest charges Of pow
der ever used III this country. It is stated
that in the first test. in which German pow
der was used, the powder, while satisfactory
in many respects, was too quick in action for
the length Of the gun-the purpose OF the un-
usual length being TO give the projectile the
benefit OF the powders expansive force as
long as possible. IN the trial on Tuesday a
new Dupont de Nemours powder, which had
been expressly made with the object of slower
combustion in view. was found, on the other
hand. TO be too slow for effective use.
The great problem to be solved, therefore,
is 10 gain the desired velocity without coming
up to the maximum pressure per inch which
the inner surface Of the gun will bear, and
when powder that will do this has been
made all difficulties will be surmounted
The United States will then have, it is claimed,
the largest gun ever made IN this country
and il will be able 10 throw pToiectile about
fifteen miles with fighting range of about
ten miles. Hostile fleets would have to run
n pretty heavy gauntlet if they ever attempted
to reach our coast through such q cannona-
dngas battery Of these guns could furnish.
