Another formal expression of opin-
ION concerning the present war, the
justice of the American cause and the
wisdom of the pre-ident's policy hes
just been made. The salient part of it
is worthy OF repetition here:

the a-chb'shops of the Roman Catholic

Beatty's Organs ana Pianos.

Hon Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufacturer. is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a penniless
piow.boy, and by his indonitable will
he has worked his way up so as to sell so
far, over 100000 of Beatty Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles laid in his
way, that would have wrecked an ordi-
nary man forever, he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. He was mayor Of Washing
ton, New Jersey from 1879 to 1883: five
terms, and recently declined q renomi-
nation for the sixth term. His instru-
ments, as is we'll known, are very popu-
lar and are to be found in all parts of
the world. We are informed that dur
ing the next ten years lie intends to sell
200 900 more Of his make; that means a
business Of S2O,OOO,00O, if we average
them at $500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in existence.

IN A KANSAS TOWN..

Differs from Other American Villages
in Many Respects.
T. Chiefly by reason OF its newness and
Of q certain cosmopolitan aspect the
Kansas town differs from villages else
where in the United States and presents
d few interesting variations from the
common type, says Atlantic. The
largest town in the commonwealth has
hardly 10000 inhabitants. Most OF the
county seats in the eastern half of the
state, where the rainfall is copious and
where crops are bountiful and regular,
contain about 5000 persons each. The
county seat is in the strictest sense
country town. The inhabitants live al
most entirely upon the tributary coun-
try. There are nc factories. The
money that the farmers Of the county
spend for food clothing, fuel and the
comforts Of the farm home is the cash
capital upon which the town does it's
business. This capital is passed from
the grocers to the clothing merchants.
TO the druggists, to the furniture deal
ers, to the hardware sellers and to pro
fessional men. In the older communi.
ties Of the eastern and middle states
necessity has developed factories
which convert raw material into fin
ished products, and money from the
outside world comes in. But Kansas is
yet hardly a generation old, and it has
not entered the manufacturing era OF
industry.

MAGAZINE RIFLES.
Weapons That Are Serviccable After
Firing 1900 Rounds.

: Some curious effects of the tests of
the new magazine rifles in actual SER
vice are noted in Engineering. Cordite
was accused of causing rapid wear Of
the rifling, and this charge must have
had some foundation, as the Metford
rifing has been Abandoned in the
weapons now issued, and has been re-
placed by the system devised by Rigby,
which is said to wear well and give
more accurate shooting than the Mann
ticher, Mauser or Lebel systems.
Certainly the wear cannot now be
a very serious matter, if the reports
can be relied on that accurate shoot
ing has been made even after firing
some thousands Of rounds and the
weapon is still serviceable after 5000
pr 5000 rounds have been fired.
In the Toche punitive expedition the
new Dumbu1n bullet will be employed,
that originally used having proved de
fcient in stopping power. In the Chit.
raj campaign one man was six times
shot, and nevertheless he recovered
The private soldiers are, accordingly
losing confidence in the weapon.
