Fisherman Jim's Kids.

For they thought they wuz helpin' his boat

The Congressional Record will show that
the democrats in congress have voted to in
crease the currency to give us more money
and reduce our taxes. 1t will show, further
more, that the populists have voted against
increasing the currency and IN favor of in
creaslng our taxes. The democrats there
fore, are in favor of more money and lower
taxes and the populists are in favor of less
money and hIgler taxes.

county conventions have expressed them
selves with regard TO money matters.

Coast Cities Safe.

/ The experiments that were made with
! dynamite guns al Sandy Hook last Tues
/ day show that the coast cities can easily
be made safe against any naval force that
/ it is possible 10 bring against them. The
/ experiments that were made with the
I dynamite guns of the Vesuvius
/ at Port Royal year or two ago left some
doubt as To whether such guns could be
made to do satisfactory work. The
trouble was not with the guns, but with
the fuses that were used in the shells.
Had the same kind of fuses been used as
were used at Sandy Hook il would have
been admitted at once that a great ad-
vance had been made in naval warfare.
The results obtained at Sandy Hook as
tonished the experts who handled the
pneumatic dynamite guns. They de-
clared that the performance was ''amaz-
ing. =" The shells, each loaded
with 200 pounds Of nitrogelatine, which
is the highest form Of explosive, were
thrown distance Of more than two miles
out at sea, and were landed in a space of
not more than 30 feet wide and 100 feet in
length. Eight shells were dropped within
that space in less than an hour.
A remarkable feature of the perform
ance was the time in which the shells ex-
ploded after they struck the water. The
contract with the makers Of the guns and
shells required that the explosion should
take place not when the shells struck the
water, but two seconds afterward. The
purpose Of this provision is that the shells
shall go under water 50 as to get at the
weakest part of a ship when the explosion
occurs. At the Sandy Hook experiments
the shells exploded exactly on time. Each
one of the shells, if it had been aimed at
the strongest armored ship in the world,
would have torn her TO pieces.
Another astonishing feature of the per-
Torrance was the success in landing the
shells within the DESIGNATED space. The
test required that six of the eight shells
should be thrown $500 yards, and landed
within parallelogram 800 feet in length
and 80 feet in width. 1t was estimated
that shell falling within that space
would be fatal to a warship in any part of
it. AS already stated. all the shots were
landed within one-ninth of the specified
space.
Tests of the extreme range of the if
teen-inch guns were also made on Tues
day, and shells were thrown, with great
accuracy, over four miles. One shell
weighing 900 pounds was thrown 200
yards.
1t is apparent that with such guns
coast cities have ample protection. With
two or three of these guns, for instance,
planted at Ty5ee, Savannah could be de-
Tended easily against England's entire
navy. One of the experts at Tuesdays
experiments said: with three of these
guns in position New York city is safe
against the strongest navy afoat."

A story is told in Washington in con-

in measure, why the House yielded so
suddenly and accepted the bill. 1t is that
when it became apparent that the con-
ferees were making no Roadway toward
reaching an agreement Senator German
suggested that the House pass the bill
and then pass what are now known as the
popgun bills, putting. sugar, iron ore, coal
and barbed wire on the free list, and
backed up his suggestion by promising
that the Senate would promptly pass the
popgun bills if they were sent to it by the
House. Gen. Catchings, acting for the
House, called upon Senator Blackburn,
the chairman of the Senate
steering committee, for some
assurance that the German suggestion
would be carried out by the Senate if
adopted by the House. After considera-
BILE delay Senator Blackburn, according
to the story, assured Gen. Catchings that
the popgun bills would go through the
Senate all right On the receipt of that
information the House at once passed the
tariff bill. 1t felt that it was going to get
about what it wanted. 1t also passed the
popgun bills.
The Senate, however, did not pass the
popgup bills, and is not likely to do so.
Senator Blackburn is put in very I'm
comfortable position, and the House is
mad because it believes it has been
tricked
There may be some foundation for the
foregoing story. The hastv way in
which the House acted upon the tariff
bill and upon the popgun bills furnishes
some ground for believing it.
If Senator German made the sur-
gestion relative to the popgun bills
he must have done so feeling almost GER
tain that the Senate would not pass the
bills. In fact, the insinuation is thrown
out that he tric6cd the House.
May it not be that one reason why
the President fails to sign the tariff bill
Is that, besides being opposed to the bill
in its present shape, he dislikes to feel he
and the House were outgeneraled, and
even tricked, by Senator German.
Senator German is very shrewd poll
tician and manager. The foregoing story
does not seem to be at all improbable
That was neat political move that
Gov. Matthews Of Indiana made when he
mortgaged his farm to get money to pay
the state troops for upholdug the law
Our dispatches Of yesterday gave the de-
tails. The governor may not have in

strategy; nevertheless it will have great
weight Voters will see in him man

| dignity of the state, and they may desire
10 continue him at the job of unfolding

put up on politics. 1t would take the
