Munitions OF War.

Great advances have been made of
late years in the improvement and
efficiency of munitions of war, often
siye and defensive, both for sea and
land. In Europe, especially, large
armies are constantly kept in rcadi-
ness, fully equipped with every mod
ern appliance of warfare. to make or
resist attack, and the finances Of the
people of that continent are strained
to the utmost in support, until the
necessary taxation Of the subjects has
become well nigh intolerable. Ma
tions with much seaboartl, such as
Great Britain, France, Italy, and
others. also fud it a sine qua non TO
their Independent existence to main
tain and constantly increase power
full navy, regardless Of cost. The
maxim s TO insure peace, be prcpar-
cd for war;" is fully acted npon by
those nations, and the efficiency Of
preparation has become 50 terrible
thatit may well be that each fears an
outbreak, the end Of which. no one
could forotell.

Congressional Delay.

There is no one condition contrib
utary more materially to the present
distressed and distressing financial
condition of the country than the
iaaction. Of Congress on the subject
,.of the tariff. For.months the Will
SOP Bill has held tendency in Con-
gress, and yet the day OF its final dis
position does not appear to be close
at hand. To the ordinary thinker it
is amatter Of no surprise that bnsi-
ness interests suffer and stagnate
awaiting Congressional action on a
subject that directly affects our whole
industrial system. Capital lies idle
and will remain idle until its invest
ment can be intelligently made in the
light. of fixed and clearly defined
tariff policy ON the part of the gov
eminent. Whatever is to be done,
the Wilson Bill passed or the Nc
Kinley Bill allowed to remain in eff
feet, it should be done quickly. Our
august law makers should bear in
mind, that this well nigh intermina-
bic discussion on the tariff is exhaust
ing the patience Of the country. 1t
is the worst argument ridden subject
which was ever before an intelligent
people. They have had their sutfi-
cheney Of talk, and what they now
want and demand at tho hands Of
their representatives is final and de-
cisiye action. Congress should have
this truth brought home to il, that
il is not so much the merits or the
dement's Of the McKinley or the VIII
son Bill which isncw carrying DISTRESS
to thousands Of once bappy homes IN
this countfy,as it isthe suspense AZ 70

pressed our belief that the Wilson
Bill will prove panacea for the
evils which have recently crowded SO
thick upon ua, bnt If the Democratic
party, which has adopted it as a
child Of its creed, cannot pass it,
they should let the country know it,
and perhaps in the years to.come we'
will send to Congress Democrats Of
different ealibrc to represent the peo-
ple-Democrats who will know and
assert and execute the peoples will,
and who will stand for speedy re-
domption Of party pledges. 1t is

the head of a decided minority in

repeat that delay, suspense and mac
ton is filling the country with bus

quickly done in regard to the tariff,
the responsibility will in a large
measure rest on the Democratic
party.

II, WASHINGTON, MAY "A, 1894.
Editor. Post I:

f. W ASHlSCToS, MAJ +, Icof.
Editor. POST:
Coxcy's commonwcal army was
forced out of Washington by the
health authorities and is now en-
camped. in Maryland, five miles away,
where Hs surroundings are decidedly
antagonistic, many of the Maryland
crs having refused to either contrib
ute or to sell anything to its members,
but they say they intend to remain
and await reinforcement and again
come to Washington when they get
enough Of them. The argument in
the application for new trial for
Coxey and his two associates who
were convicted of violating the law
against trespassing on the Capitol
grounds Will be heard to morrow,
having been postponed to accommo-
date Representative Hudson. of Kan
sas, one of their counsel who was ont
oftown. 1t is almost certain that
they will not get new trial,and that
sentence will be passed upon them;
but it is probable that the sentence
will be a nominal one and that its
enforcement will be suspended indef-
nitelx by the Judge. Such action
would be in accordance with public
opinion here.
The House committee on labor,
which gave Coxey a short hearing
last. week, has favorably reported
Chairman McGann's resolution pro-
viding for the. appointment ola joint
Congressional committee to investi-
gate and report to Congress within
80 days the cause Of the present in
dustria1. depression and what legisla-
tom if any. will remedy the trouble
and give lucrative employment to the
citizens of the United States.
Stste rights were given boost
when the House Judiciary committee
ordered a favorable report on the De-
Armend bill. providing that no
| judgsof a United States court shall
punish any citizen OF officer for being
In contempt for refusal to levy a tax
or collect a tax for the payment Of
any bond issued BY the municipality,
county or State, where the levying
Tor collecting such tax is contrary to
the laws Of The State. The report
was ordered by q strict party vote.

Mary, the Mother Of Washington.
The dedication of the Mary Wash

on last Thursday, and its attendant
ceremonies proved to be an occasion
fraught with peculiar and most
Measurable interest. In these busy,

trolling the lives of men, 1t IS truly
refreshing to turn to the, cons'dera-

waflike Appliances has ever been

coat, lately invented for the soldier
BY Herr Dove. Of Mannheim, Ger
may. According to. authoritative r, re-
port, the invention 'is most vai"ao'e'
and eminently satisfactory in pro-
yiding for weafer all the protection II
claims to hayezsecured. The mate
rial is said to- Look like ordinary ar

! stance being placed beneath the cut

LAS breastplate, to be fastened to to the
side buttons. of the soldiers uniform
weighs about six pounds, and is to be
used only on actual warfare Some
startling and interesting experiments
have been made with the new mate
rial, without injury: Recently, the
inventor. Herr Dove, was encased IN
his bullet proof coat; and two sho.s'
at close range, we're fred at lin by
the Russian Ambassador to the Ger:
man coursr and Dove sustained ab-
solntelx no.injdfy. First q cartridge
was selected at random and fired at a
block Of solid oak, which was pierced
BY; The, ssimia1l-likc bullet. Dove
then offered himself as a target, and
was twice shot at as above stated.
To the great relief Of the distinguish
ed:compahY assembled to witness the
experiments. he said, after each
Shooting, i, feel nothing, and 1t
was found. that he was unhurt, the
bullets being found imbedded in the
coat which covered his breast and
boly, in the manner proposed to be
worn by sollie~s, leaving the head
| arms and legs unsupported. After
! wards, a horse was covered with the
bullet-proof material, and a number
Of shots were fired in quick success
sion at the animal while it was eat
ing, oats from a. manager. The horse
| we'll trained cavalry mount, stared
slightly at the report of the first re-
port of the rifle, but was uninjured,
notwithstanding many shots were
fired, some of. them striking almost
in the same place as previous bullets.
Representatives of several foreign
governments have been making
strong efforts to obtain Herr Doves
secret, but without success, and it is
said that the inventor has refused
princely offers made to him by army
contractors and others, DESTROYS OF
purchasing his rights. Patriotic
Germans hope to. see the invention
secured for the exclusive use of the
German Army, and as the German
Government is: said to have offered
Herr Dove, for his invention, 3,O00,-
.oOo.marks, (i.-e. $Goo,ooo) the ne
gotiation may terminate. The start
ling invention will set other nations
on the path Of providing themselves
with an equally safe protector for
their armies, and thus great changes
will, in short time, be made in the
accoutremcnts Of the modern soldier:
We learn from the Richmond Dis
patch of May 18th, that Herr Dove,
the inventor of the coat, is about to
visit this country on a tour, as
music hall celebrity, under the man.
agement of Mcssrs. Martin and West
ern, of New York, and that his first
appearance will be in New York City.
