pared to lick anything that may come
along, there IS peculiar appropriate
ness in the name of the new gun. The
weapon weighs 10000 pounds and is 4o
feet long. 1t throws missile 13 inches In
diameter. With its normal charge OF
carload Of powder it throws pro1ectlle
weighing 1,lOO pounds distances OF IA
miles. The gun is riflee breech load
er and is worked entirely by hydraulic
power. The firing Is done 10y cleo
:riclty. The conical steel projectile used
is thrown at an initial velocity of 2,lOO
feet per second, which is equivalent to
"a miles minute or 1,432 miles an
hour. The Indiana, the Oregon and
the Massachusetts will each be equipp-
ed with four OF these "peacemakers.
With such ordnance aboard, these bat
tleships will be ideal harbor defenders,
| tor range Of IA miles with 1,lOo.pound
proec.iles is sufficient to stand OFT any-
thing now afloat. And in attack, hard
ware could be sent into the second tier
| of counties at most alarming rate. 1t
is to be hoped, however, that the boats
that are TO carry these guns are more
seaworthy than some OF the new cruisers.
If not they are liable to be sent to the
bottom by the recoil With few more
"peacemakers' and staunch boats 10
carry them, the United States can be
fairly independent in its dealing with
foreign powers.

Suing Her Dead Hash and :.

Sioux City, Iowa, April 22.-The re-
markabe spectacle of widow suing her
dead husband for divorce is present ed
by proceedings in the district court
here. Miranda Paul married William
Paul short time ago, after being divorc-
ed from her first husband. Soon alter
ward William made discoveries that led
him to believe that the divorce was not
legal, and refused to live with her. She
began suit against him for divorce in
order to test the validity OF her former
divorce. Paul filed a cross-petition in
which he asked divorce and $1,000
damages. Before the suit came to trial
Paul died The woman ut once asked to
have the suits abated, on the ground
that his death removed the cause for
action. The heirs Of Paul declined to
allow this on the ground that Paul's prop
erty interests demand a settlement OF
the case. They deny that the woman is
entitled to any share Of the estate. The
matter has been taken under Amusement
BY the court, and the woman's ATTORNEYS
are expecting that The case will be tried.

Should be Publis IN ed !.

Whitewood Plalndealer:-The North
western Monitor OF Aberdeen calls the
attention Of the press to the feasibility
OF having the session laws printed in sup
plement form by the newspapers of the
state. The Plaindealer believes that
such law is necessary and that the
masses who are to be governed bv those
laws and punished for their violation
would more thoroughly understand the
rules they are expected to obey and will
De more nearly in touch with their law
makers. The last revised code was
printed in 1877 and in order to keep
posted one has to have all the session laws
passed since the completion Of that
complied code. It is therefore q diff
ficult matter for any one to be 'sup to
date in the matter unless he has devot-
cd considerable time to the laws of
each session, which In all probability
very few have done. 1t would be safe
to assert that not fifty farmers in the
state have copies of the SO session laws
whereas il they we're published in the To-.
cal newspapers. they could keep them fl
ed and thereby preserve them as an au-
thentlc record OF the proceedings Of the
legislature. Again, one OF the most
valuable rights OF the people under a tree
government is the right to hare laws OF
.heir own choice. In fact it Is in this
right that their freedom principally con-
sists. It IS by the constitution that their
rights are secured. And while IN the
legislature can pass no law that the con-
stitution tcrbids, ii the laws they did pass
were made public to the masses, and if
they we're unjust and oppressive the mas
SOS would know 1t. and having by their
constitution reserved the right to dis
perse them, they could do so by electing
others in their stead. Many good law
is violated daily because those who
would see it observed do not know such
laws to be IN existence.

sires to remind the general public that

Why these demonstrations Of working

Why these demonstrations Of working
men at Washington? The congress now
in power was elected by the votes of
workingmen, who believed that some
body was making too much money under
a protective tariff. Now they complain
that congress threatens to reduce the
tariff too much; yet the Wilson bill is
not tithe of what the platform tor
which majority OF the workingmen Of
this country voted promised in the way
of tree trade. Taking the election and
the demonstration into consideration,
there has been a slip in the cog wheels Of
logic somewhere.

Mrs. Lincoln,s Request.

In sorting over some old papers the
other day Col Walter French, the file
clerk OF the house of representatives.,
who is noted for his antivuarian lore,
discovered the following interesting let
ter from the widow OF Abraham Lin
coin.
To the Honorable Speaker OF the
House OF Representatives | here
with most respectfully present to the
honorable house of representatives an
application for pension. am widow
Of a president of the United States
whose life was sacrificed in his country's
service. The sad calamity has yerv
greatly impaired my health. and by the
ADVICE of my physicians have come
over to Germany TO try the mineral
waters and during the winter to 60 to
Italy. But my financial means do not
permit me to take advantage Of the urg-
ent advice given me. nor can live in style
becoming the widow OF the cheit magis-
trate Of great nation, although / live
as economically as | can. In considera-
ton OF the great services my dearly be
loved husband has rendered the United
States, and OF the fearful loss that Lave
sustained by his untimely death-his
marlyrdom, may say respectfully
submit to yonr honorable body this
petition, hoping that yearly pension
may be granted TO me, SO that / may
have less pecuniary care, remain, most
respectfully,
Mrs A. LINCOLN.
The letter is on sheet oil heavily bord-
cred note paper, and covers three sides.
The communication is undated, but the
Endorsement on the back shows that 1t
was referred by the speaker to the com
mittee on invalid pensions on Jan. 26,
1869. Congress acted IN the matter with
due deliberation, great deal more so
than 1T would today IN similar case,
as it was not until July IA, 1870, almost
eighte en- months afte: the receipt Of the
petition, that the act was approved CIV
ing Mrs. Lincoln pension Of $1,000 a
year.

Hood River Incorporated.

Hood River held an election yesterday
to decide if it should be incorporated.
Eighty-four votes were cast of which 40
were for and 35 against Incorporation.
The following officers were elected:
Mayor, G. M. Wolfard; councilmen,
S. E. Bartmess, F. II. Button, o. B.
Hartley, L. E. Morse, J. E. Rand and j.
F. Watt; recorder, G. P. Head; treas
urer, NJ. H. Nickelsen; marshal, E. s.
Olinger.
We are pleased indeed to see the spirit
of progress evinced by our thrifty little
neighbor. In spite of strong opposi-
ton incorporation was carried by a
handsome majority. The fears of those
opposed to the measure, that there
would be great expense following incor-
poration we believe are utterly ground
less. There will be some expense, it is
true, but there will be vast benefits.
Grades can be established, so that he
who desires to build will know where to
place his building. The water supply OF
the town can be acquired, and hundreds
of other things necessary to the growth
of the town can be accomplished. Hood
River will grow more rapidly than any
town in Oregon for the next ten years.
and she is incorporated none too soon.
May she grow and prosper until the
whole beautiful slope whereon she rests
is busy mart of trade, is the earnest
and honest wish of THE CHRONICLE

BRIEF MENTION.
. Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.

The jury in the Savage case returned
a verdict tonight of larceny, fixing the
value of the stolen goods at $4,000.
The ladies Guild of the st. Paul's
Church will meet with Mrs. L. Clark,
tomorrow, Thursday afternoon at 2 80.
The weather representations for to-
morrow are warmer, rainy. Mr.. Brooks
tells us that the barometer is lower to-
day than he ever saw it and still falling.
At 8 80 it stood at 29.16. This indicates
heavy storm, not necessarily here, but
probably on the coast.
An alarm of fire about 4:30 yesterday
afternoon was caused by small blaze at
Jos. T. Peters planning mill. The en-
gines were called out, but a couple of
buckets of water had effectually subdued
the flames even before the alarm was
fairly turned in.
The "Uncle Toms Cabin troupe
was to arrive here on the freight from
Pendleton this afternoon, but the en-
CINE broke down at Blalocks, delaying
them so that they will not arrive before
6 o'clock. The play will not be inter-
fered with, and the curtain will rise
promptly on time.
The case of the State against Savage
was given to the jury last evening at
about 4:30. There seemed to be gen.
eral impression that the jury would fail
to agree, an impression that the action
of the jury is justifying, as at the hour
of going to press they were still out
There is a rumor that the jury is pretty
evenly divided, standing seven for con
viction and five for acquittal, but
whether there is any foundation for the
rumor it is hard to say.

Scott and sorenson Arrested.

The Portland Sun this morning says
son complaint of I. r. Brit, formerly
manager of the now defunct Cape Horn
Telegraph Company, Harvey W. Scott,
of the Oregonian, and A. Sorenson, man
ager of the Telegram, were yesterday
arrested on charge of criminal libel
and marched to the Mount Tabor justice
court as any ordinary prisoners. Upon
paying their respects to the court the
two prisoners were released upon their
own recognizances to answer to charge
at 10 o'clock this morning.
The article upon which the charge OF
libel is predicted appeared in the Even
ing Telegram about month ago. In
1T, so Brit alleges, appeared false and
malicious statements against HIM and
Mrs. Johnson, a telegraph operator for
merly in his employ, with whom he was
alleged to haye eloped.
It is understood that Mr.. Scott will
prove an "alibi'' on the ground that he
is not connected with The Telegram and
has no control over its management.
Mr.. Sorenson's defense will be lack
of intent, as he claims that the article
was received in good faith and published
as news item.
The case will no doubt prove an in
teresting one and may lead to some de
velopment not yet down on the pro
