WHAT'S THE srArTEI,a

ana now comes the statement that the
bnttleship 1ndiuna's guns are too big
lor her, and that the big ship Is IL dis
appoihthent and unsatisfactory. 1t is
s"'o mat the result of her sea trial shows
'nat her guns are too big and are not
paced SO as to be operated in action as
designed. The two 13-inch guns and the
TOUR S-inch guns mounted in turrets fore
alu ait were meant to shoot straight
ahcad or straight astern. But i'm the
trlal. II was found impossible to shoot
the S-inch guns within more than 70
degrees Of u straight line forward or

III The main turrets Just beneath them.
~ correspondent writing 10 the Pllila-
delphia Times of the trial trip. says that
the discharge OF The big guns In the
upper turrets on the trial almost blew
the head off a gunncr's mate who was
In the sighting tower of the main ,ur-
ret; and, further, that it was found i'm
POSSIBLE, also. to operate the. l3-inch
guns In a broadsidc, because The dis
charge would unsettle, If it did not en-
tlrely wreck the upper turrets. When
ilred straight ahead on the trial trip the
explosion caused the iron battle catches
on the main Deck to fly Off and other
wise shook things up. 1T charge for
II of these big guns varies from 475
10 80 pounds of heXagonal powder, and
naval experts fear that the ship would
cripple herself before she had been i'm
action half an hour. 1t is likely that
the big guns will be used for coast de-
Tense and that smaller ones will take
their place on board. There may. also.
be a general shifting of armament.
In this connection it is asserted rha.

AN AGONY THAT CONTINUES TO IN
CREASE.

Remarking Oh the statement of The
Eirginian of Saturday, that the torture
OF the editor of The Pilot must be In
tense. The Pilot candidly admits that
Its torture must be intense"-but gives
us a reason tlrat 1t Is due to seeing The
Nirginian backsliding so badly as to ad-
vocate what It had once denounced,
and then 1t asserts, with II complaisancy
that is remarkablc: ''Of course, The
NirGininn does not agree with the let
ter of MIR. Barton Myers, OF May %,
1884, Well. now. If The Pilots torture
has been intense heretofore, what must
it have been yesterday, when 1t read
The Nirginian's views on Mr.. Myers
letter? When ii read what hi Eir-
gilman said on that subject? which was
this:
The Nirginian kinks II is all right
tAlr. Myers letter.. 1t thought so when
the letter first appeared in print; 1t
thinks so now. The letter has the ring
of good mctal-it embraces fundamental
truths aud principles-that can
not be questioned. 1t is an honest.
straight, noble defense of the sanctity
the greatest pcroS:l;ive of the citi-
cn-th right of suffrage. II embraces
Democratic principles and as II con
is true Democracy"
What is O u opinion, now. Mr.. Pilot.
The Nirsinian's view OF Mr.. Myers
letter? Don't you think ii agrees with it?
Yet our views Of yesterday on this
subject, are about as substantial and
as all your opinions and writ
on the subject under discussion.
There was no foundation for your con-
yesterday. There has been no
foundation for any of your statements
as to the lcgali1cd primary and other
SUBJECTS you attempted 10 discuss.
agomy yesterday must have been
distressing, and yet YOU deserve
