Paper Cannons.

To add to the number Of astonishing
things that are made of paper, Krupp,
the great German manufacturer OF
cannons, has lately completed num-
ber Of paper Geld-pieces for the use of
the German infantry.
Their calibrc is five centimetress, o,
little less than two inches: and the
pieces are so light that one soldier car
easily carry one. But the resistance
is greater than that Of a field piece oil
steel Of the same calibre.
1t is not to be expected that these
paper guns will replace those Of steel
They are intended for use in situations
where the movement Of field artillery
would be iMpracticablc.
Paper artillery on the field of bat
tie seems most extraordinary thing
but it is hardly more so than paper
wheels for freight cars on railways
appeared when they were first intro
duccd-or, for that matter, than paper
water pals were.

- Gov. Ellerbc received letter
from Lexington, informing him of the
murder of Mrs. Lybrand The crime
is one Of the blackest ever recorded in
that county and is shrouded in mystery,
and the citizens of Lexington request
ed the Governor to offer q reward for
the apprehension of the perpetrators
of this foul deed. Details of the MUIR
der are of the most mcager sort, but it
seems that the murdered woman's body
was found in the read near her home,
where she had been shot down. The
Governor upon learning these facts,
offered reward of $3.50 for the appre-
hension and conviction Of the guilty
party or parties.

The Balance Sheet OF War.

With the fail Of Santiago the third
month Of the Spanish American war
is brought to "a close Victory has
been the reward Of the best cuuipped
battalions, if not always Of the heavi-
est. Both Americans and Spaniards
have shown that they can fight with
conspicuous courage. Mere animal
bravery, however. has been hopclcssly
beaten when it had to contend with
courage reinforced by thorough
knowledge Of the weapons which mod
crn science has placed in the hands of
Governments. The willingness Of the
Spanish soldier to die in the last
ditch, and Of the Spanish sailor to 20
down with his ship, has not prevented
Spain being beaten at every point
Nor has it enabled her to inhict any
considerable damage upon her enemy.
This can be proved by placing side by
side the losses suffered by the com
batants in the first three months of
the war:

Such comparisons as these must

asters for Spain, without inAicting
serious injury upon the United States.

principles of the republican party as
enunciated by the st. Louis platform
and we commend the course of the re-
publican administration of the past two

come to the nation during the war with
Spain and commend the unsurpassed
craftsmanship exhibited by our presi-
dent the Hon. VIM. Mckinley.
We also express our confidence ini
and admiration for that illustrious Mich
igander, Gen. Il. A. Alger, secretary OF
war. We believe he has administered
the exacting duties of his trying position
faithfully and without deserving censure
We condemn the unwarranted and un
Just attacks now being made upon him
by the press of the United States.
This convention recognizes the valua
bile services rendered by II. S. Pingree
our second war governor. He sprang to
the duty of the hour and without resi-
and wholly ignoring personal considera
tons, he equipped for service five regi
ments of as brave boys as went to the
front from any state in the union, ano
we heartily commend him for the deel
and personal interest he has taken il

We endorse his fight for equal taxation
and hereby pledge him our unqualified
support in his efforts to secure homes

The Courier is very much worried be-
cause the republican county convention
failed to nominate South Ravens candi-
date for register, and thinks the party
ungrateful for the big republican majority
of the corner OF course the Courier
didn't mention the fact that the present
efficient Judge of probate is a South
Haven man. 1t isn't the Courier's
method to be exactly fair in its unsuc-
cessful efforts to SOW seeds of discord
within the republican party.
