The greatest gun ever manufactured in
this country is to be tested to-day at the
ordnance testing grounds at Indian Head.
II is breech loading rife with calibre
of thirteen inches diameter, and will
throw pro.ectiie weighing half ton
distance of fifteen miles. The lives of
people in ad dining counties, however,
will not be endangered by firing a rcgu-
lar charge from the gun to-day. The ma
nipulators will put in about half charge
enough to make a good strong roar
and point the monsters muzzle at a con-
venient sand bank. The test is TO take
place in the presence of a number of sen
ators, representatives, cabinet officers
and officers of the army, and if the direc-
tors Of the event can make the big gun
roar loud enough and plow up sand enough
to impress the congressman with proper
sense of Americas achievements in gun
building and the necessity of building
more guns, they will consider the test TO
have been eminently successful.

Senator Colquitt's Condition.

The announcement that Senator Col
quit has had q second attack Of the Sc
we're disease that came near ending his
life months ago, will be received with
profound sorrow throughout the state.
The first attack Of apoplexy-the disease
from which he is suffering left him
almost a physical wreck. He so far raj
. lied from it, however, that he was able TO
attend to his senatorial duties, and he
hoped to become comparatively strong
again in the course of a year or two. Only
recently he announced that he was
a candidate for reelection, and his friends
encouraged him to believe he would be
successful. He undoubtedly has a
strong hold upon the hearts Of the people
of Georgia.
The attack from which he is now suf-
fering raises the question whether he
viii ever again be able to discharge the
duties of his Office. He is a years Of age,
and his recuperative powers are greatly
Impaired. If he should survive the at
tack the chances are that he would be an
invalid for the remainder of his life.
His death at this time would change
the senatorial situation somewhat. The
governor would appoint some one to i'll
his place until the meeting of the legisla-
ture. That body would then elect some
one for the unexpire1 term and also for
the succeeding term. The appointee
would have an advantage not possessed
BY any other candidate. The governor
would be the subject Of a pressure such
as he has not experienced since he has oc-
cupied his present Office.
And if it be true that the governor is
an aspirant for senatorial honors his posi-
ton would be a rather embarrassing one
because if he did his duty conscientiously
he would appoint the best man from his
point of view, and the legislature might
be guided by his judgment in electing a
senator. 1t is sincerely to be hoped,
however, that Senator Colquitt's illness
will prove to be of temporary char
acter.

the Wilson Bill in the Senate.

The Wilson bill has at last reached the
Senate from the finance committee and
day has been fixed for calling
it up for debate. In view of the
length OF time it was retained by the
finance committee and the probability
that the debate upon it will be long one,
the prospect is that it viii not 60 to a
conference committee before the middle
OF May
Comparatively few changes were made
in the bill by the finance committee. The
most Of the changes made by the sub
committee of that committee were per
mitted 10 stand. II does not follow, how
ever, that the bill in its present shape
viii command a majority of the Senate.
1t is understood that great many
amendments viii be offered, some Of
which are pretty certain to have the sup
port of democratic senators.
For instance, it is believed that Senator
Hill will make strong fight against the
income tax, and that he will be assisted
by two or three other democratic SEN
ators. The republicans are, OF course,
against the tax, though there may be
few of them from the west who will vote
for it,
The sugar schedule is not wholly salts
factory to the Louisiana senators, and
they will try to have the duty increased.
The chances are, however, that they will
not succeed. They have got about all
they are likely to get. They will vote
for the bill if they can get no better
terms for sugar. Provision has been
made for abrogating the reciprocal agree
ments with those countries from which
we get sugar.
The abrogation Of those agreements is
going to be stoutly resisted. A number
of important manufacturing interests are
concerned in them. However, it appears
TO be pretty definitely decided that duty
is to be placed on sugar Such duty
would afford the sugar planters of Louis
lana no protection and would yield no
revenue unless the reciprocal agreements
which admit sugar free of duty were
abrogated.
What the country wants now is speedy
action upon the bill. AS soon as it is def
nitely known what the tariff is to be there
will be very noticeable increase in bust
ness Mills that are now idle will be
started, and importations will increase.
If the bill becomes a law in June the
country win be enjoying a greater degree
of prosperity by the beginning of fall
than it has had at any time during the
last two years.

Representative Enloe keeps hammer

but comes up smiling for the next round.
The Docl1ery committee which he wishes
to investigate his proposition to consoIi-
date the coast and geodctic survey with
the photographic Office under the navy
department, will soon go out of existence,
which may have adverse effect upon the
Enloe bill referred to in our dispatches
yesterday. The Office of the Dockery
committee is to examine into the work
ings Of the departments, to consider i'm
proved methods OF business to be adopted
in them, to cut away red tape where
found practicable, and to recommend the
abolition or consolidation of department
Offices wherever possible. The commit
tee has about concluded its labors and
will report in few days Mr.. Fnloe's
proposition should properly go before
that committee. Mr.. Enloo is on the
right track. The coast survey spends a
great deal Of money without accomplish
ing much.

The anarchists are the enemies of law,
order, corporations, capital and govern
ment. Nevertheless they patronize cor
porations and endeavor to turn into
money their very failures to overthrow
law and government. IL is asserted that
the anarchists of Europe are good patrons
of life insurance companies, and that the
London" reds have collected 5000 insur-
ance on the life Of valiant, who was guilo-
tined for throwing a bomb in the Cham
Der Of Deputies at Paris 1t is probable
that the reds do not inform tho insur-
ance companies Of their politics and aims,
or the companies would hardly care TO
take risks on them.

Do Whisky Men Want a Higher Taxi

~ W AAoEJ men w dlL d 11lBu6I 1d8g
Congressman find it difficult to make
any important change in the tariff bill
which does not call forth the charge that
it will help somebody make a mint of
money. When the House cut off the
sugar bounty and left sugar on the free
list it was said that it was known before
hand to a favored few what the action of
the House would be, and that they sold
sugar certificates and made a large
amount of money The Senate sub-com-
mittee of the finance committee put sugar
on the dutiable list and sugar certificates
advanced. 1t was Immediately charged
that senator's and representatives had
inside information of what would be
done, and that they reaped a rich harvest
by buying certificates when the price of
them was low. The charge that senators
were specializing in certificates was the
occasion of a pretty big scandal.
Now, 1t is alleged, the whisky trust is
trying to have the tax on whisky raised
to $3.50 per gallon. The trust is not ask
ing for any change in the law, but it is
alleged, it is indirectly working to have
it increased to that price, with the priv
lege of removing all whisky now in bond
within the next two months, on the pay
ment of the present tax on whisky. 1t is
alleged that if the whisky tax should be
fixed at $3.50 gallon the trust would
make not less than SO, 100000.
Congress should not be held responsible
for the opportunities for speculation that
are presented by tariff, or any other, leg
islation, There can be no legislation
without making such opportunities. The
only thing that can be expected of
congress is that it will pursue a straight
forward course, and DO the best it can for
the public good. 1t would have more to
do than it could attend to if it should I'M
dertake to prevent specializing on informa-
ton as to what it has done or will do in re
spect to any matter that has connection
with the price OF stocks.
The whisky trust does not say whether
or not it would like to have the whisky
tax increased. The House raised the tax
from 90 cents to 81 per gallon, and it has
not been changed by the Senate finance
committee. 1t is hardly probable, there
fore, that it viii be changed by the Sen
ate.
