PRIVATE GUN MAKERS.

a few days ago Japan let a contract
to English shipbuilders for war vessels
amounting to $50, 900. This contract
would have come to the United States
but for one thing: Japan wanted to
contract for the guns for these vessels
as we'll as the vessels themselves. No
firm or Individual in the United States
was prepared to furnish them. This
country can build, and is building, bat
tle-ships equal to any in the world.
And they are built by private firms,
the Cramps in Philadelphia, Irving
Scott in San Francisco. The best
armor in the world is being made in
Pittsburg for them, armor so good that
Russia came to this country for it,
preferring it to that made anywhere
else. Now why should not the manu-
facture of great guns, both for the
navy and coast defense. as well as
field artillery, be undertaken by pri-
vate firms in the United States? Mid
vale would furnish all the material
necessary, and of the very best quality,
for it is from there that the govern
ment obtains what material it uses.
The government gun works at Water
Welt and the navy yard at Washing
ton prove that heavy ordnance equal
to that made anywhere can be made in
this country. Then why should it not
be made by private firms and furnished
to whomsoever may desire to buy it?
The greatest heavy ordnance manu-
factury in the world. Krupp's, is
private concern. So is Armstrong; in
England. Were such establishments in
existence in the United States, such
contracts as this that Japan has just
let would come here instead of going to
England.

Mr.. ALLEN, Republican candidate
for Congress, has been telling the peo-
pie of Logan what a terrible lot the
Democrats are. He has also been
favoring them with a dissertation on
constitutional law, reading from the
constitutions of some of the southern
states to illustrate his talk on the
power of appointment. The account of
his talk does not say that he made
any reference to the reconstruction
period in the South. Were Mr. Allen
as ingenious as he is ingenius he
would have done SO. But it takes
big man to do these things.

Judge Shields usually has business

writer naturally supposed he would get
some news, probably in the probate line,
and of course made inquiry concerning
it's nature. But no probate work was

Mr.. Depew is suffering a decadence.
Time was when he was a potency in the
Republican party affairs of New York.
He is no longer permitted to participate
in power, but is allowed an exhibition. of
that garrulity which is now his chief
characteristic. Time was, too, when De-
pew was himself presidential candidate,
posing particularly as the granger S
friend. He is now. hat in hand, bowling
his congratulations to Banker Morton.

Sunset, is reported dry.
Messrs. w. H. Fields, w. l.. Gar

left yesterday for quail hunt near
Ssbinal on the S. p. railroad.
Mr.. w. l.. Gardner, one of the
officials of the Baltimore aud Ohio
railroad, is. at the Menger hotel
and will spend the winter in San
Antonio. Mr.. Gardeners home is
in Norwalk, Ohio, where he is the
proprietor OF fac farm on which
he raises hundreds of Chinese
pheasants. Mr.. Gardner claims, if
properly cared for, they multiply
rapidly and he is of the opinion
they would do we'll in Southwest
Texas, where good protection is
afforded them. They arc game in
every sense of the word and their
meat is white, like that of our
quail. The state of Ohio made
contract with Mr.. Gardner
to stock the state with these
pheasants,an they have propagat-
ed and increased to his entire
satisfaction.
A good story is told on one Of

into old Mexico on a turkey hunt
last year. The party went into
camp and the merchant started out
in quest OF turkey. 1t seems that

through the hills in search Of
camp became more and more be-
wildered, and finally tired, hungry,
footsore and his lips swollen from
thirst. He laid down in despair.
His companions becoming alarmed
at his long absence hired a Mexi.
can with his mustang who was well
acquainted with the surrounding
country, to search for him. About

by the Mexican asleep. On being
aroused he could not speak but
made signs for water.

toned for our hero to catch hold
of his pony's tail in order to assist
him, and in this way he walked
about fifty yards from where he
laid down to an acequia or irriga.

Quenching his burning thirst
