lsAPID-FIRING GUNS.

The terms "rapd-ire" and "quick fir.
ing" guns, SO frequently seen in the press
reports of naval affairs, do not convey to
the ordinary person any adequate idea OF
the Improvements that mechanical in
genuity has effected in ordnance in recent
years. While rapil and quick firing guns
are the smaller weapons Of a battleship,
they are not the diminutive affairs that
they are ordinarily considered, as the inn
proved methods Of breech mechanism
and loading have been introduced in the
case OF 6.inch guns, which throw 100
pound projectle. The saving in time
and ease OF manipulation are effected by
using fixed ammunition, in which shell,
powder and primer are united. The g.
Founders OF which there are numerous
types can discharge with accuracy twenty
to twenty-five shots per minute, Il num-
Der which can he raised to thirty or thirty
five il accuracy in aiming the piece is
dispensed with. From ) inch rapid fire
guns thirtysix shots have m en- fired in
five minutes, and as each Of these pio-
jectles is seventy pounds in wti.ht, the
effect can be readily understood.

was very bold and expert at capturing
him. until he had to face him, and then
he wanted to let the job out. AL Santabin
was the one who finally roped him.
At our annual school election every
thing went off TO the satisfaction of those
who have the welfare OF the district in
view. The county superintendent had
appointed Mr.. Ingram to fill the unexpired
term OF o. II. z. Wiley, which would
place him in office for another year, but
the superintendent was probably mistak-
en- as to Mr.. Wiley's term. as no appointee
can hold office over and beyond the an
nual elections. The following officers
were elected: Mrs. Josie oantabin clerk
Mr. AL Saniabn, director 3 years, and
Mr. Sven johnson, director years.
The "Washingtonian" is still on the

state and The Father OF our Country" it
falls very short. Our state has repudiated
the fallacious and ruinous gold bug policy
and the unpatro'ic ntterances OF the pa
per are not in good taste. The loyal
patriotism OF George Washington should
stand as a rebuke to the element repre-.
scented by the Washingtonian. Wash

A Ship Canal as a Result OF the Wa


The energy awakened by our early wars
against England gave MS the Erie canal,
the national pike, and the development
of western river navigation. The Civil
war gave us our great trans-continental
railroads. The present war with Spain
must, if its logic is heeded,g give us trans
isthmian ship canal. The Pacific Is to be
the theater OF great events and OF rap
idly expanding commerce in the years to
come, We need the Nicaragua canal'ln
order to give our eastern seaboard fair
opportunity in the Oriental trade. We
need it also for our trade with our own
Pacific coast and with the western coast
of Soutl, America. 1t is now evident,
moreover, that We need the Nicaragua
canal as defense measure. The naval
situation in the West Indies last month
showed how much might possibly have
depended upon the prompt arrival OF the
OREGON. which has required some ten
weeks to proceed by way of Cape Horn
from San Francisco to Key West. On
the other hand, the naval situation in the
Philippines showed how, under certain
contingencies, it might have heen neces.
sary to send u relief expedition to Admiral
Dewey from the Atlantic coast. The
United States government could readily
afford to take the financial risk OF the
Nicaragua canal purely on grounds O
public defense. The canal would proba
bly pay its own way out OF the tolls upor
commerce but even il there were some
annual deficiency to be met, it would bt
the most economical part OF our annua
naval bill. Thus far, the war has shown
that we need coaling station or two il
the West indies. that We need I'M
Nicaragua canal as an out-and-out terri
torial possession OF the United States
The canal ought to be built as direc
governmental undertaking, and ought u
be cut through a strip OF ground owne'
by the United States as absolutely as on
government owns the District oil Colum
bia. No other plan will suffice. -Revie'

Executions n Fashionable Pastime

The incongruitv OF the Spanish charuc.
ter was clearly illustrated through the
medium OF the many public executions
ut Manila. These executions were gen
orally made the occasion for quite jubi-
lee--a turnout Of the elite, gala day, u
time for rejoicing. The fact that there
was to he an execution was prominently.
joyouslv announced, officially and other.
wise, in the local newspapers. There was
at least one military band in evidence,
and the morning when unfortunates who
had protested against Spanish misrule
were to be shot found the Spanish colors
flying from great many buildings, and
the warships in the harboi "dressed."
The Philippine capital had IL holiday
aspect.
The deadly work was generally per-
formed in the cool Of morning. That
these events were fully appreciated was
shown by the presence on the Lunetta of
thousands Of people. Hundreds Of fash
ionably dressed ladies' AM! gentlemen
''graced" the occasion with their presence.
For the most part these fashionabes
came in their equipages. These ladies
would stand in their vehicles determined
not to miss any pant OF the ghastlv show.
The signal from the commanding lieuten-
ant that the victims were dead was the
sigma! for these delighted lady spectators
to wave their handkerchitis or parasols
as evidence OF their satisfaction.

instances the soldiers constituting the
firing squad were natives. They were

fatal shot. Consequently each man would
aim for the arm or leg. This, OF course
only added to the horror OF the affair
There was one occasion when thirteen

A STARTLING STATEMENT

EDITORS ABERDEEN HERALD.-A few
DAYS ago l overheard a man declaring
that 1.-THE fusion administration had failed
10 Keep its pledges of economy, and in
Doth the state and this county the repub.
i'can party managed the peoples business
more economically" If any one believes
such statements correction seems to be
IN order, and beg leave to Use YOUR
columns Tor comparative statement.
Beginning with the year 1890 the rec.
oIds show that during our first two wears
OF statehood we went in debt at the rate
oil S432 per day or total in two wears of
S3lo, l13.S3; that from '02 to '94 there
was an enormous increase, or an average
oil S'2S q! debt contracted every - hours.
but great rs was the extravaganza of
those years it still increased. While the
people tollcd and wrest!ed with poverty,
While they patiently sought for methods
by which they could live cheaply enough
10 make their expenses come within their
ever decreasing incomes, while they
looked and waited with feelings OF min
gled hope and despair for Il riit in the
cloud OF business depression which hung
like u pail over our country, >,hylock
was plying his nefaliou business. That
he might have money people were robbed
OF their meager earnings through taxa
ton, but us that was not enough, enor-
! tntaraSt l,n, Il ,I,t 4
During the last two years OF republican
misrule in his state that debt increased
at the rate OF TEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY
DOLLARS EVERY TwENTY-FoTR HOURS.
The people knew there was bette,
way-that such extravaganza was rob.
bery-so III their indignation they turned
the republicans out Of every state office
and elected men pledged to economy and
retrenchment, and that pledge has been
faithfully and honestly kept. The fusion
legislature began by cutting down legis-
lative expenses which were $4,000 less
than the expenses OF the legislature oil
1895. The appropriation bill for state
expenses and state institutions was $l4S,.
33S.S4 less than the appropriation bill
Of 1895.
On April LIST the Peoples Party" OF
fusion party, which is the peoples party
in its truest sense, had been in power IA
months and had not contracted dollar
of debt, but better still, had been paying
the debts created at the rate OF ELEVEN
HUNDRED AND NINETY DOLLARS PER DA,
for the whole period Of II months.
To the people Of Chehalis county
would say that these are facts easy t'
Prove. We ask for the fullest investi
CATION, knowing that such arguments al
these are unanswerable. More anon.
