Arms for the Army.


Modern scientific warfare is creating a
strong demand for moro deadly guns and
other hand arms as we'll as heavy
ordinance than those used in the
past to slaughter opposing armies.
Chief among the new requirements
are long range and terrific force of velocity
for the projectile. And the ingenious in
ventors appear to be prepared to meet all
of these requirements in the most satisfac-
tory way if we may judge from an article
recently printed in the New York Herald
in which the writer describes the latest ap-
pointed test in Massachusetts of various
patterns Of European magazine rifles before
board of army experts at Springfield TO
determine their range and penetration as
we'll as their accuracy and mechanical ar
rangement for rapid firing.
This examination is to be made with
view to replacing the Anticipated weapons
with which the United States army is now
supplied with the highest improved guns of
modern make that can be found among the
various arms in use in foreign countries or
at home. Americans should not be forced
to 60 abroad for inventions Such weapons
as may be required to increase the efficiency
of the army should be found within the
limits of our own country. American me-
chanics should not allow their ingenuity to
be excelled by any foreigner.
Among the conspicuously novel character
istics of the favorite new European gun are
small caliber and high velocity. Both of
these contribute to the main object, which is
to increase the range ana extend the scope
of what is called the danger zone.a
That is the distance to which ball can be
sent in a perfectly straight line before it be-
comes spent" and begins to fall and is no
longer deadly Small projeotiles not only
consume less material but they greatly aid
velocity and penetration and are quite as
deadly and also much lighter for the soldier
to carry.
Actual experiments with cadavers in
Europe have shown that the small caliber
and high velocity rifles at deadly range will
send a ball through two men with such
force as to kill third and possibly fourth
man." Further, it is claimed for them that
they will penetrate trees of moderate size
with such force as to be deadly to any
animate object beyond. Thus are many
formerly effective projections rendered use
less by the improved arms.
But when the choice eventually comes to
be made it is to be hoped that the work of
the American inventor may be found equal
if not superior to any deadly contrivance
found abroad.

he has no longer any other use for them.
But the greatest present delight Of the
noted potato propagator is to scream his
most scathing sarcasm at the Kansas
farmers alliance because he is mot in it"
and because it defeated him for reelection
to the United States Senate. Above all
things Farmer Ingalls, does delight in eX-
pressing his contempt for the plain farmer
in language so lofty and pedantic that the
object Of his sharpest shafts of disdaln can
not understand them.

and the redistribution of property. Angry |
suspicion and irrational distrust are sedu-
lousy engendered by sinister appeals to the
passions and prejudices of those who
should be friends and auxiliaries rather
than antagonists and foes
Debt regulators are peculiarly obiec-
tionable to Mr. ingalls, because he has a
strong personal interest in the debts of his
neighbors. When one Of them happens to
owe him interest on a mortgage at Is per
cent he wants the man TO pay it.

stupid measure interrupted and literally put
