The second of the great 10 inch
breechloading guns, for the defense of
New York harbor, is being mounted
behind the Notifications at Willett's
Point. One is already in position on
it's disappearing carriage, and it's long
barrel peeps over the high concrete
embankment and points up the sound.
This gun was tested at Sandy Hook
before it was mounted at Willett's
Point.
Lieutenant Wheeler of the ordi-
nance department and detachment
of heavy artillerymen will have the
second gun in place in a few days, but
it cannot be accepted before it has a
firing test. This is causing great
amount of official anxiety. How to
fire the gun without doing damage to
some of the hundreds of vessels on
the sound is a problem that even the
ordnance department cannot fig
ure out. The enormous steel projec-
tile will go about II miles through the
air and then is liable to skip along the
water with tremendous bounds. The
officers will probably wait for heavy
northeasterly gale that will drive the
shipping on the sound into shelter
and then the shot can be fired bilndly
through the storm in the direction of
open water.

The steel umbrella frames, says an

The steel umbrella frames, says an
umbrella dealer, has almost super
seded the old wooden one, but it has
one drawback. IF the owner of such
an umbrella should be carrying his
steel frame in the vicinity of an cleo
trio light or trolley wire, and should
happen to touch the wire with the
steel point of the umbrella, he would
receive the full force of whatever
charge the wire carried, in his arm.
I have heard of several deaths occu
ing from carelessness in this respect
lately. One need not abandon his
closely rolled umbrella on this ac-
count, however. All that is neces
sary, is to be careful where the point
is placed, SO that itzdon't come in con-
tact with any electrically charged
body.

The popocratic leaders continue to
give every explanation except the
right one for their overwhelming de-
feat at the polls. Senator Jones now
says it was the cowaroice of business
men that defeated Bryan, while other
popocratic magnates think the ex-
preston Is to 1 was too definite. The
latter is a hint at the truth. Repudia
tion would not been so unsightly if it
had been closely yelled.

The cost of the late campaign was
about 100000. Chairman Hanna
expended about 81 1852, 900 and the
democratic committee had nearly as
much. Hanna has about $4,000 left
which will be used to keep republi-
can headquarters in running order
the next four years. The largest
number of documents sent out in any
one week was 5000, 1000, the postage
on these being 100000. The campaign
cost the two national committees not
far from s2,5OO,OOO and the states
spent enough more to swell the
amount to over 5 100000

heat was taken by an open length,

There is something ludicrous in one
phase of the Spanish campaign in
Cuba. Gen. Weyler, at the head of
10000 troops, is actively searching for
1000 Cuban rebels, that he may crush
them. The Spaniads denounce the
Cuban army because it persistently
refuses to come out in some large
open field, where the Spanish army
can conveniently surround it.

A leading New York financier states
that deposits to the amount of not
less than $4,000, 900 were withdra wn
from the savings banks of that city
during the recent campaign. This is
a striking proof of the fear that pre-
vailed on account of the free silver
agitation, and an Indication of the
catastrophe that would have ensued
in the event of Bryan's election.

ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been a.
BILE to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitution
al disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, ard giving the patient strength
by buildiag up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Here's the way the irrevelent Ver-
mont Graphic talks about DR.. Tai
mage:
"Vermont divines are probably not
in the gospel business for their health,
but imagine we would search for a
good while before we discovered a
spectacle similar to the one which
confronts the eye of statesmen, visit
or or resident in the noble city Of
Washington. There, in the First
Presbyterian Church, for the sum of
seventy-fve cents per sitting, you
may listen to the holy and picturesque
utterances of T. Dewitt Talmage,
pulpit acrobat and designer of SEN
fences, until your soul is permeated
with the true spirit of holiness and
your store clothes are all in pawn.
Mr.. Talmage is a "poseur." He
writes sermons, dlffuses their frag-
rant sanctity over the heads of his
Observation-Disclosures hearers, then
HES him away to Mars Hill in pious
ecstasy and Transconlinental Rail-
road coach, where he delivers the old
stock to a select audience of Greek
guides, ruined architecture and field
mice, that he may sell them for fifty
dollars each to the Associated Press
Association. If l should find nv.
self in Washington during some mo-
ment OF weakness, and finding the
cares of life weigh upon me, l might
borrow a dollar from Mr.. Cleveland,
put seventy-fve cents on the plate,
listen for period to the classic elo-
quence of this theological contorlion-
ist, and then pay some one the re-
naming quarter to wheel me home in
push-cart.'
The Vermont politicians seem 10
be falling in for Reed for president.
They scent the battle from afar, or
at least think they do. But it is by
no means certain that they are right.
The race is not always to the swift
besides it is very evident that the
rank and file of the party in the state
are for Mckinley.

At the young republican meeting
at Montpelier last week governor
Woodbury. RECALLED the beardless as
sembly with speech. Among other
things he said:
81 always like to associate with
those younger than myself both male
and female, which illustrates the max
i'm that there is no fool like an old
fool"
If his excellency will pardon us we
will suggest that there are other ways
of illustrating this old maxim, the
McCarty case for example. Then
there are some, no doubt, who would
claim the governors administration
as an all-round case, but then-well,
we'll wait until the Herald libel suit
is tried.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1896-02-21

Upon the subject of lynching and
anti-lynching laws the st. Louis
Globe democrat of last Friday had a
very sensible article. Among other
things it said:
There are certain well-known rea-
sons why SO many lynchings occur,
and SO long as those reasons exist
these results are to be expected. If
all criminals were promptly tried and
legally punished according to their
deserts the lynchings would soon
cease. 1t is because of the repeated
failures of justice in the courts that
the people take the law into their own
hands. The lynching process is
practically areturn to the first prin-
ciples of civilization, an assertion of
the right of community to protect
itself against its enemies. There is
better way of dealing with criminals
but when that way proves to be a
mockery, the sovereignty of the peo-
pie must find another, or surrender to
those who defy its power.
