MsE NICKEL STEEL GUN.


7 interest " eie Governments Ordnance Shops
Over the New Method of Assembling.
Tho force at the Washington ordnance
shops has nearly completed the assem-
bling Of the first nickel steel gun for the
navy, and the results awaited with in
terest. The ordnance officers have been
engaged some time in the construction
Of furnace for heating the tube Of
this gnn, which is Of inch caliber.
The furnace will apply the heat to the
gun in a horizontal instead of In per
pendicular position. The jacket, the
piece Of metal which fits over the base
Of the tube and gives it greater strength,
will be forced over the tube while the
latter is kept beyond the expanding in
fluences Of the heat by the constant ap-
plication Of a stream of water.
The delay in assembling the gun, the
forgings OF which have been ready for
some time, has been caused by the diff
ficulty in securing pyrometer, a deli
cate instrument for registering the fear
full heat Of the furnace. This instrn-
ment has been received, and everything
is ready for the assembling Of the gun.
There is naturally much interest among
ordnance experts over the result of the
new system Of putting great guns to

men voted together, he says, there
is no doubt that free silver presi =
dent would be elected in 1896. 1t
can only be done through new
party. He continued
The opponents of silver have pointed
to us what we ought to do. When they
determined to repeal the purchase clause
OF the law OF 1880, they ignored for the
once all other issues, forgot the struggles
and animosities OF third of century,
shut their eyes to tariff campaigns and to
exhausting struggles with force bills,
together with all the bitterness such
occasions recall, and Joined hands with
out hesitation for the accomplishment of
their common purpose, not abandoning,
but holding in reserve their differences.
In other words, they forced for the pur-
pose and for the time, third party.
That purpose accomplished they immedi-
ately restored the statu quo and returned
to their differences. They voted in con-
gress as one party, in their representative
| capacity. We should vote at the polls as
one party in our individual capacity
All who believe in the predominance OF
monetary reforms should, in my opinion,
come together on that issue and for the
time being, hold in allegiance their com
victions upon other questions-reserving
to themselves the right to readjust their
party relations when the monetary
question is settled and other issues come
to the front.
History teaches that while reforms OF
minor character may be accomplished
through parties formed for the achieve
ment OF other purposes, no question of |
the first magnitude-no question involv- |
ing great fundamental principle oper-
ating in the interest of the masses OF |
mankind-was ever settled without the |
creation OF a new party to achieve it.

To call a girl "duck" is regarded
as compliment, because people 80
seldom see ducks they forget that
they waddle, have ugly feet, big
noses, like mud, and make the worst

SENATOR JONES TURNS PoPULIsT.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, has
written letter announcing his part
ing with the republican party and
his conversion to the peoples party.
1t opens as follows:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-To the Hon.
Enoch Strother, chairman state central
ing become fully convinced that the
republican organization is unalterably
opposed to the free coinage OF silver at
the American ratio of IS to /, or at all
except with the consent OF foreign gov
ernments and at ratio to be dictated by
them, have to announce that can no
longer act with this party.
Expressions of the regret he feels
at the step follow:
Mr.. Jones protests that he abates
not one iota of his conviction with
reference to the beneficent influence
on American industries of the policy
of protection. But he thinks pro-
lection will do us no good unless the
supply of money is made to keep
pace with the demand. Scarcity of
money is accompanied by an artifi-
cial fall in the price OF commodities.
The republican party, he claims, has,
up to this time, been moving in the
direction of an increased currency.
But the repeal Of the purchase
clause of the Sherman law was the
parting of the ways. While the
democrats must share in the re-
sponsibillty for that repeal, it is only
the action of the republicans with
which he is concerned. The repub-
lican party repealed law of its own
making at the demand Of q demo
cratic president.
Mr.. Jones SCOTS with bitterness al
what he calls the international bime-
tallists. A remedy by international
conference he pronounces impracti
cable and cites British testimony
to uphold the claim. The money
question, he protests, is one Of thoss
great issues iustifying new forms.
