Whatever Reed Wants.



The Republican majority in the
house have promptly realized the ne
cessity of doing something in response
to the presidents appeal for financial
action. This will probably be COM
posite measure upon the lines suggested
by Mr.. Reed, providing for low rate
bonds for the purchase of gold, for
certificates of indebtedness to meet de-
ficiencies and for additional revenue
through customs duties, upon wool and
some other articles. Whatever the
committee may report-and that will
doubtless be whatever the speaker
thinks it ought to report-will be
promptly passed in the house and the
party record thus made clear.

If Mr.. Cleveland had made it his
study to bring out in strongest relief
the financial weakness of the United
States he could not have hit upon
better device for doing it than his
earlier message to congress on the
Venezuela question. We have the men
needed and a few ships; but as to
money, we have not even credit. That
is humiliating admission-but is it
not the exact truth?

NEED OF POWDER.

DR.. Jameson is reported to have said
in an interview that our Maxims could
have knocked the spots out Of them,
but we had no ammunition" That is
going to be the trouble with the
machine guns, especially for armies OF
invasion. No ammunition train, no
matter how long, can carry cartridges
enough to feed these greedy corn
peppers which shoot away in a minute
as many rounds as soldier can carry.
The Maxims and Gatlings are all right
in their place but they will not lessen
the Importance of accurate small arm
fire. A beleaguered fortress with big
magazines might be able to fill the air
SO full of lead that no living thing
could approach, but an army in the feel
could approach, but an army In the field
will still find 1t necessary to shoot to
hit, and 1t will take sharp oversight
to keep the soldiers from wasting too
much lead even with magazine rife,
to say nothing of a machine gun spit
ting from 600 to 1000 bullets minute.

John NJ. Huntington Now in the County
Jail-Attempt to Defraud Judge York.
IT was enormously stated in the col
umns of this paper yesterday morning.
in an account of the arrest of John M.
Huntington for obtaining money from
ex-Judge Samuel A. York under false
pretences, that the decision in the suit
brought by Carrie M. Huntington in
the superior court against Judge York
for the reconveyance of the property
decided to him by Huntington, her hus-
band, had been against the defendant.
This was an unintentional injustice TO
Judge York.
The property about which the suit
was brought was sold to Judge York
several years ago. After Huntington
sold the property he went to Montreal
Some time after that his wife appeared
in New Haven with Two judgments
against him for non-support and also
q deposition Of Huntington saying that
the name purporting to be hers in the
deed was forged. This was produced
in court at the trial last winter.
warrant was issued for the arrest
of Huntington several months ago,
Judge York having learned that he had
been seen in New Haven. Huntington
succeeded in eluding the police until
Thursday evening. He was held yes
terday morning under $500 bonds for
his appearance July Z in the city court.
In default of bonds he was committed
to jail.

Hit With q Brick.

Fourth of July would lose a part Of
it's significance to the boys in the
neighborhood of Davenport avenue and
Oak streets, if they did not have bon
fire, and in spite of the vigil
ance of the Howard avenue precinct
patrolmen, each Fourth is ushed in by
q huge bonfire. Last night the police
were determined, so were the boys, and
in order to draw the attention of the
officers from the scene of the usual
demonstration a fire was kindled in
Broad street.
Patrolmen STREET. and Hays were
watching the large pile of barrels and
boxes at Davenport avenue and Oak
street, when some one tried to steal a
barrel from the Broad street fire. Streit
demonstrated forcibly but effectively.
Soon a brick took the officer a clip on
the head. In the confusion q match
was applied to the pile, and the whole
sky was soon illuminated. No damage
was done.
