1t is more than likely that the next
candidate of the Populists for President
will be the Hon. Lyman Trumbull of
Illinois, if he will consent. It is only
fair to say that if the Populists get Mr.
Trumbull they will get far more re-
spectacle candidate than they deserve.
Years ago Mr.. Trumbull enjoyed the de-
served reputation of being one of the
ablest men in the country. He was a
member of the United States Senate dur
ing the war period snd helped frame
some OF the most important measures of
that time. He was sub sequently chief

lend an air Of respectability to the Popu-
list campaign that it would not enjoy
under the leadership of any of the other
persons who have been mentioned. He
would not of course make the party a
factor of any considerable importa nee in
the campaign, but he would rescue it
from the utter inconsequence and absurd
ity which will attach to it under such
ridiculous standard bearers as Simpson
or PETER or Marion Butler even.

'FRlsco's PNEUMATIC GUNS.
They Throw Gelatine Charges Three Miles
With Great Accuracy.

The fortiflca lions of San Francisco have
been strengthened in the past week
through the acceptance by the govern
ment Of three of the most powerful pneu-
matio guns yet tested, each of which
threw 500 pounds of high explosive up
wards Of 5000 yards with precision and
terrible effect upon the water where 1t
struck. Columns of water were thrown
in the air as high rs the Washington
monument and the aim was so true that
there would have been no difficulty in
hitting any ship which they might have
been aimed at With 500 pounds of gela-
tine range Of a1oO yards was obtained
explosion occurred both on impact with
the water, and with fixed fuse two Sec
onds after the shot struck, the water
in each instance. being tossed like gey-
ser spout over 900 feet in theEair. With a
projectile of the same explosive and q
charge reduced to 100 pounds the three
guns propelled shells three miles and hit
so near the mark aimed at that battle
ship would have easily been blown to
pieces had she been the target.
These three guns are similar to those
which are now mounted at Sandy Hook,
but the tests demonstrated that improve
mentS have been made that place the
new weapons in advance of those at New
York both in accuracy and in power of
range. The guns at Sandy Hook have
been in position about one year and were
the first of half dozen ordered by the
government for the defences of the har-
bors of New York and San Francisco
Other guns will be placed at Boston and
the important coastwise cities included
in the Notifications plan of the war de-
partment. The success attending the
trials at San Francisco has settled to
the satisfaction of the ordinance experts
the value OF this typo of ordnance for
the country's land defenoes and hereafter
some of these guns will be stationed at
the important cities along the seaboard
where the department proposes construct
ing defences invunerable to attack from
the sea- Naval officers do not attach that
Importance to the dynamite gun that
the army men do, principally because of
its lack of range.
This defect they say will make 1t pos
sible for 5attleships to lay beyond the
guns range and still be most effective
against land batteries, while a torpedo
boats of great swifness could dodge
projectiles on account of their slow
velocities.
Eminent ordnance experts of the army
including Gen. Flagler have contended
that the pneumatic gun will be of in
calculable value in dealing with a large
fleet and that no ships would dare to APP
proach within it's range, knowing that
an explosion of SO pounds of gelatine in
the vicinity of a vessel would have most
disastrous effect upon those on board
1t is asserted further that one shot from
dynamite gun would be worth more
than broadside from warship and that
the country can we'll risk making a true
shot occasionally with results as effective
as those following the impact of pro-
jectile with a battle ship

The iourishing town of Winthrop down
in the valley of the Kennebec, has had
the distinction the past week of being the
sive distinction, too. for apparently the
quaking was felt nowhere else. But that is
by no means it's only claim to distinction.
The talk CT war has awakened poet in
the Kennebec town who has heretofore
been unknown to fame, but who seized
the present opportunity, if not to make his
name known, at least to advertise his gen.
ius. Several ballads have come to the
PRESS from this hitherto undiscovered
bard, some of which we here lay before
our readers. Perhaps the most stirring
of the collection is one entitled "All right
no longer, we're not in it," which runs
as follows:
How dark the war cloud gathers
From Europe's peopled plains,
To Afric's sunny fountains
To where the Dago reigns.
The Russian draws his big, big knife,
The Boer swabs out his gun
And william blows his trumpet
And maybe there'll be fun.
The Lion he is bristling;
He thinks he smells bout,
And Uncle Sam can sit right down.
And see 'em have ii out.
Then hurrah for a scrimmags,
Hurrah says Uncle Sam,
And whoever ticks the other,
We don't give -
Here is one on the possible results of
war between England and the United
States, entitled, "Some of us might fall
into it. -
Old England lacks in fighting men,
And we, we lack navy;
So England she'd be in the soup
And we'd be In the grave-eh?
There are several Others but these are
altogether the most striking, and they
are sufficient to show the bent of the poet s
genius. The appearance of the earth
quake and this poetry at about the same
time suggests that there may be some
connection between them. Parturiunt
