The NcsnNins, Tests

PORT ROYAL, s. C., Feh. 4.-The tests with the pneumatic tubes of the cruiser Vesuvius were continued at the navy yard dock yesterday. The vessel did not move down to the lower harbor because it was desired to test certain important observa- tions made from data acquired by com parison of the results of preliminary prac- tice with the results obtained during pres ent experiments. Beginning shortly before noon seven shots were fired, with even more satisfactory results than any yet ob- tained Two shots fired from tue same gun consecutively were absolutely accurate. Had the tests been made on shore the two shells would have fallen in the same hole The first shot fired for a range of 2,000 yards fell directly on the line. Speaking of the days work, an officer said this after noon that it would be misleading to state that every shot had been entirely satisfac- tory. One of the shots had, he said, been disappointing, but the remaining six shots had given the most satisfactory results yet obtained. It is probable that the Vesuvius will not go down to the lower harbor be- fore Monday

The Influence of Politicians

When one, not being professional politician, looks at the question widely and considers the penalties of political greatness, one begins to wonder whether politics have that influence on the real life of nation which they are supposed to have, and whether eminent politicians are not merely the puppets of the hour But that is a question on which the fates forbid that we should enter! Probably in no case are the penalties of greatn ,ss so irksome as in the case of the eminent politician.-All the Year Round.

Reformers once More.
Editor NORRIS TRIBUNE:

Editor NORRIS TRIBUNE:
Please allow me a small space in
your valuable paper once more, be-
cause Mr.. +. w. Heller made some
misstatements which | would like to
rectify.
He says in answer to my article
about saving the tax payers every
cent possible and honorably, "that is
just what | have done in this case"
Now, in the name of common sense,
he must be off his base or he must
have an arithmetic of his own that
other people know nothing about.
Then he says: II don't believe in
robbing Peter to pay Paul" This is
contrary to his action. Did he not rob
the tax payers, especially the farmers
who elected him, of their fifty cents a
bushel wheat money to pay his favor
tie by raising his salary? He says
further: 81 believe in equal rights to
all and special privileges to none" In
the first place, won't he hire man
just as cheap as he can get him? or if
he hires man for twenty dollars a
month for the season, and his neigh
Dor pays twenty-five dollars month,
| wonder if Mr.. Heller, at the end of
the season, would say to his man,
here my dear friend are five dollars
month more for the season, because
my neighbor has to pay it and | be-
lieve in equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. He says further:
" Superintendent in the adjoining
counties receive not less that $780,"
Now granted they do; is that cause
to raise it here? Probably the coun-
ties are larger and have more to do.
If them other fellows in the adjoining
counties jump into a well and drown
themselves, do you think we have to
do the same thing?
Mr.. Heller thinks the business ca
pacity of the writer is very small.
Granting it is Il always knew it with
out being told), does that show that
Mr.. Heller's is very large? His action
shows, indeed, that he has none at all. |
Any man pledged for reform and |
elected under this condition, who does
contrary to it, is a traitor, or, as Mr..
Heller says, CHS business capacity is |
very small"
And last, Mr.. Heller says: "Only a
coward dare make such a personal at |
tack and dare not sign his real name"
The name has nothing to do with it.
The bare facts stare you in the face,
and | would like to know who is the
biggest coward-one who gives only
real facts, or the one who, elected and
pledged for reform, does contrary to
it. A Tax PAYER.
