THE NEW WEAPONS.

The impression has been prevalent
that the new devices in army equip
ment will tear the human anatomy into
dribletS, and add immensely to the hor
r0rS, as we'll as fatality of war. In the
case of the latest variety of rifles there
is something of relief to the picture.
Such tests as have been had are in favor
of unobtrusiye and effective work, with
less of the shocking evidences of it
than with the old methods. Unless the
vital organs are struck, the coming mis-
Sile will go through the party and dis
able him without intiicting permanent
injury, or causing Disagreement. The
humane feature comes in the form of
the missile. This is not much
thicker than a lead pencil, but
an inch and half long. There
have been no opportunities for tests on
large scale, but cases of accident
have shown that this little thing
goes through the man neatly, with a
small passage that heals readily. The
size is to enable the soldier to carry a
sufficient number without overweight
ing with ammunition. The special ad-

the rapidity and force of the delivery.
With the smokeleSs explosives, these
rifles will easily kill man at mile and
a half distance, and at the ordinary
range the ball will go through a half
dozen men without inconvenience.
They can be fired with such rapidity
as to seem almost like con-
tinuous stream of the destruct-
i've agents. With such weapons
armies will not often come to close quar-
tiers, where the more deadly work is
done. Vast numbers will be wounded
and temporarily disabled, but the pro-
portion killed or disfgured will be
greatly less. Those fatally hit will die
more promptly, and be saved lingering
suffering. Of course war means killing,
and in the protracted wars of the older
time it was desirable to kill, so that the
soldier should not recover from wounds
and return to duty. But great wars
now are pretty certain to be brief, and
all the needful ends are attained by
preventing the men who do the fighting
from being able to serve for a time.
Unusual interest will attach to the next
European war, on account of the mod
ern devices to be tested by the armies.

A TYPICAL CASE.

Any references to friends in the pen
sion business are assumed to be attacks
upon the old soldiers and instigated by
desire to interfere with the proper re
quital for patriotic services. President
CLEyELAND's yetoes of bills for special
allowances to individuals were used
with good deal of effect to prejudice
him with the veterans. In fact, it IS
quite possible that his defeat was due to
this cause in 1888. Had he been a pol
icy man, practical politician, he would
have avoided the Misrepresentation
that were so easy to be made of his
numerous vetoes. The amount involved
in these special claims was compare
lively trifllng, and the presidents,
particularly when looking for a
second term, have always allowed such
to slip by without concern as to their
rightfulneSs. But the other day the
Minneapolis Tribune cited the case of
MARY ANN DOUGHERTY as an illuStra-
ton of the feeling of Mr.. CLEVELAND
toward soldier claims, and test of the
policies of the two parties. Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND and the party that elected him
can afford to stand by his action IN this
case, as thu fact was fully developed
that Mrs. DOUGHERTY was not entitled
TO a pension, and could only be given
one by the penetration of fraud on
the meritorious claimants. She drew a
widows pension for years while her
husband was living. and was shown to
be woman of dissolute habit, COM
mon drunkard in fact. Her record
could hardly be familiar to the Republi-
can organ in naming her case as a dis
tinguishing one of the policies OF the
parties.

1.-THE most unfortunate feature of President
Harrison's administration" continued Mr..
Foulke, lis the postofice department. The
appointment of John Wanamaker as post
master general as a reward for the raising of
money for the purchase Of the presidency is
discreditable. Wanamaker seems to be en-
tirely ignorant OF public affairs. He was
very good Philadelphia shopkeeper, and 1t is
too bad that he was translated to a depart
ment of the government where he was able to
injure the Republican party so seriously by
his connection with the Keystone bank and
other scandals No one conversant with the
facts in regard to the wrecking of the Phila-
deiphia banks can doubt that Wanamaker
has brought great discredit upon the Repub-
lican party"

there should be limit to the per capita

A GREAT JOKE

The Minneapolis newspapers, one and
all, are inclined to guy the GLOBE be-
cause of It's issue Of Wednesday morn
ing last, in which the record of st.
PaulS achievements in the manufact-
ure of boots and shoes was published TO
the world. They seldom have agreed
in anything else, but here they are
unanimous that all that the GLOBE has
had to say is too absurd, is quite anus
ing, is as funny as minstrel show
They have laughed and chuckled about
it in the most visible fashion. Their
columns have resounded with patroniz-
ing hahas in coarse print and fine print.
They are really having a great time.
This is all right. The globe likes to
have them ENJOY themselves. The man
whose sides would not shake with hilar-
ity over st. Paul's record in the boot
and shoe trade during the past ten
years has no sense of humor. Here
are the figures, so that any one who can
read can see them. In 1881 there was
one boot and shoe factory in this city,
employing ninety hands, paying an
nually i'll wages $4,000, and turning out
goods to the amount of $4,000 year.
In 1891 there are three factories, en-
ploying 900 men, paying out annually
$500 in wages, and manufacturing
and selling every twelve months over
S3,000,000 worth of goods.
This is without doubt the biggest joke
of the decade. The Minneapolis news
papers need not think that they are the
only ones to appreciate it. We can see
the point Of pleasantly in st. Paul
also. We are laughing at it, too. Next
"Wednesday we are going to laugh over
the history of another local industry.
The GLOBE is bound to get the reputa-
ton of being funny paper If it can. 1t
has succeeded capitally in its effort this
week, but it is not through yet. 1t does
not expect to acquire the fame of a wit
by single sally.

with red velvet pail, heavily embroid-
cred and fringed with gold. Beside tie

cred velvet cushions, were the crown.

royalty. The royal family or Wurtem-
berg, the emperor of Germany, Prince
Henry of Prussia, the diplomatic corps,

officials, a number of generals and rep

from all parts of the empire were pres

At the conclusion of the service the
casket was placed in richly draped flu
neral car and was conveyed, followed
by the mourning nobilitieS. to the castle
of the kings of Wurtemberg. Upon ar
rival at the old castle, the BODY was re-
ceiVed by guard of honor, amid the
booming of cannon and tolling of bells.
Slowly and soemnly the coffin was
borne by officers OF high rank into the
chapel. where it was placed before the
rails of the altar.
Queen Charlotte, wife of the new king
of Wurtemberg and all the royal prin-
eeSSeS were present. They had awaited
LII the chapel. clad in the deepest mourn
ing, the coming of the funeral cortege,
which they greeted by arising to their
feet and standing with heads bowed
low as the casket was placed in its posi-
ton before the altar. The court chap
lam preached the funeral sermon, eulo-
giving the noble qualities of the dead
monarch, and so touching were his ref
erenceS to the dead that many of those
present wept, including the emperor OF
Germany, King William of Wurtemberg
and Queen Charlotte.
After the services the caSket was low

ashes of those of his house who have
gone before him to the great tribunal.

MINISTER'S ASsAILED.
French Statesmen Harshly Treat

MARsEILLEs. Oct. 9. - Ministers
Guyot, Roche and Rouvier are still in
the city, and to-day were treated to a
rather exciting experience. They left
the prefecture in carriages escorted
by the Hussars and number of
gen d'armes. The streets were
thronged with sightseers, but at several
points along the route pronounced hiss
ing and hooting were heard.
While passing through the Boulevard
Liberte somebody in the crowd hurled
an open knife having a sharp blade
with great force at the min
listers. Tie weapon fortunately missed
its mark, striking with considerable
force, but handle foremost, an officer of
the prefecture, who was seated in the
rear of the ministerial carriages. The
incident caused great excitement and
the gendarmes Immediately charged and
dispersed the mob. They were not able,
however, to discover the assailant.

THE IRISH GROUPS.
Parneli's Adherents Will Continue
His POLICY

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The attitude of the
leading ParnellItes puts beyond a doubt
their determination to maintain the con-
flict with the followers of Justin Nc
Carthy. The vacant seats of Cork and
Kilkenny (made so by the deaths of Mr.
Parnell and Sir John Pope Hennessy),
are expected to be contested again by
rival NatiOnalists. The talk of the Irish
group i'll the National Liberal club in
dicateS the existence of a proposal to
avoid a contest by giving the Cork seat
to Parnellite and that of Kilkenny to
an adherent of Mccarthy. The temper
of the Parnellites is against any com
promise. for they believe that the reac-
ton in Ireland towards Parnellism is so
strong that they may succeed, even
where their dead chief failed.
The want of money resources alone is
likely to dampen their combative ardor.
In relation to their Paris fund, there
are queer rumors that 1t will be found
to be so depleted that there is almost
nothing left. Mr.. Parnell's personal
finances, as is known, were seriOuly re-
duced during the past two years. A
few weeks before his death he came to
London seeking an extension of time on
several bills. He explained that il was
to enable him to pay up some outstand-
ing calls on his shares of the ETeeman'S
journal. in order to maintain his right
to vote at the board. His long delay i'll
paying the costs of the divorce
proceedings was similarly due
to want of ready money.
He ought to have had a large income
from his estates, his stone quarries and
the $40, 900 testimonial he received some
years ago. He was not eXtraVagant
personally, but he beggared himself In
his secret expenditures in the cause of
home rule.
The mention of the name of John
Redmond as sectional leader arises from
Mr. Parnell recently confiding to him
the conduct of the campaign in Great
Britain. The growing sense of his ply
steal weakness caused Mr.. Parnell. when
too late, to begin TO arrange for a tenn
porary period of rest. He intmated to
his colleagues that he must remain
awhile in the background; that John
Redmond would act as his lieutenant
ne himself continuing to direct the
movement.
1t was hoped that Mr.. Parnell, by re-
pose, would be invigorated to all extent
sufficient to enable him to meet the
strain OF the general election. 1t is i'm
probable that the section will recognize
this as sufficient to give Mr.. Redmond
the right to the leadership. Their di-
lemma led the name of William Shaw
to be again heard. Mr. Shaw is the par
liamentary leader whom Mr.. Parnell
Snpplanted, and is now living at Hamp-
stead, hale and hearty. lie was some
times consulted by Mr.. Parnell himself.
If the Parnellites resort to his advice he
will simply urge the instant cessation
of sectional strife and the reunion of
the party on basis of the policy of the
majority.

STUTTG ART. Oct. 9.-The emperor of

purpose of attending the funeral of the
late king of Wurtemberg. At the rail-
road depot the emperor was met by
King William H., successor of the de-

Prince Henry of Prussia and a number
of distinguished generals. Shortly
after reaching Stuttgart the emperor,
accompanied by the notabiIties who
had welcomed his arrival, proceeded to
the castle and entered the hail where
the remains of King Karl were LYING in

wreath of flowers upon the casket and
knelt beside the remains OF the dead
ruler of Wurtemburg. After a short
prayer the emperor arose and conyersed
in low tones with King William III.
The Grand Duke Michael of Russia. in
