Furnished Food for Reflection.

Furnished Food for Reflection.
The state board of equalization raised
the personal property valuation of
Wyandotte county SO per cent. above
the amount fixed by the county assess
ors. Kansas City, Kan, is the seat of
the great packinghouses, and the re-
turns made by these concerns to the
assessors is food for reflection. The
Armour company reported its personal
property valuation at $4,000, and yet
reported recently to the United States
government that the business done by
the corporation amounted to over
81, 600, 900 month.

ELECTRIC MARVELS.

It is predicted that a new telegraph
system will displace the present one be
fore long. a few days ago a company
was Incorporated at Cleveland, o., with
a capital of 1000, 600, to conduct tele-
graph business.
The intention is to put up wires
throughout the country for the use of
what is called the sign wave" sys-
TEN. AS high as 1000 words per minute
have been sent by this method; it has
been tested by government experts and
there is every reason to believe it will
prove a decided success and a pro-
nOunced improvement over the old way.
AS time has been an important reeu-
lator of the price Of messages, it is
more than likely that the expense of
sending cablegrams and kilograms VIII
be greatly reduced under this so-eaHed

1t is hard to understand the explana-
ton Of the invention. which is neccs-
sarily technical. 1t involves the use of
alternating currents of electricity. and
is the result of the combined labors and

LoUBET NOT AN ORATOR.

What does this mean? President
Loubet Of France is not an orator.
Think Of it, No newspaper demanded
the oratorical test No statesman OBJ
jected on the ground that he couldn' I
speak for forty minutes or an hour.
France, the home of art and educe-
ton, the land of the most garrulous
people in Europe, the scene of more
disputations of interna tional import
ance than the cables tell of all the rest
of the old world combined, has chosen
to represent the executive, administra-
tive and judiciary departments of
state. a man who is not a phrase
maker ana who never made a forty
minute speech in his life.
1t has been a week since the install
lation and we haven't read an objec-
ton from our oratorical contemporaries
at home or abroad yet
Come to think of it, the late President
Faure was no scholar. He was merely
a successful business man, but one of
varied experience and practical sense.
Even France, erudite and boastful
France, recognizes the need of that sort
of ability since she became ambitious
in commercial way.
But the silence of the speech testers.
What does it mean?

SHAMEFUL NEGLIGENCE.

Owing to the negligence of the pres
ent congress. a bill providing for the
creation of the office of admiral in the
United States navy may be suffered to
die This is bad business. There is
no explanation of it but the awkward
ness and indifference with which the
house treated the measure after it had
passed the senate.
Instead of promptly passing this bill,
as did the senate, it was attached to
some appropriation bill as a rider and
voted through the house in that way.
Then some one realized that it had no
place in such a measure, and found
that it wouldn't stand questioning in
that form. SO it was introduced as a
separate measure, which is now pend
ing in the house.
The disagreeable feature of this pro-
cedure is that, il the rank of admiral
is not revived at the present session Of
congress, Rear Admiral Dewey will be
retired under the legal limit for serv-
ice before the next congress will con-
Vene in regular session.
1t would have beer a splendid and a
special tribute to the great commander
if the bill could have passed at this
session: it would have kept him on the
active list ten years beyond the limit
now fixed by law; it would have been
a good thing for the country as well
as for him.
No act of congress would have met
with such universal approval among
the American people.

and calmly sat still. The troops were
then drawn up in line, and pointed their
muskets at them.

to fire would not be given. In the end
they won their point simply by calm,

NEARING The END.

This is the last week of congress.
Many bills are pending. but few will
be considered. Some OF the appropria-
ton bills even may be killed in the
crush at the close. If the remodeled
bill for the reorganization of the army
gets through it will be by the skin of
its teeth. But currency reform, canal
construction, ship-subsidy and many
other well known measures will fall by
the wayside, in spite of the anxiety of
the administration to have them pass.
What chance have other bills when
those for appropriations are in
danger?
Out of fourteen appropriation bills
but three have passed. There are
eleven to consider this week. And
something or other will have to be
done for the army if a special session
would be avoided
This will be d busy week in the ma
tional congress.

velocity of sS4 foot-seconds was OBJ
tainable. This gun was carried on the
back of a mule. one mule carried the
piece, a second the body of the carriage
a third the trail piece and the shafts
and a fourth the axle and wheels. The
ammunition supply was carried on the
backs of additional mules, two ammu-
milton boxes of six cartridges each
being carried by each ammunition mule.
The weight Of one cartridge complete OF
canister was 1914 pounds. Shrapnel and
common shell cartridges weighed 153
pounds The gun mule carried a weight
of 1887 pounds
While this is probably the most com
plete mountain gun in existence, the
English have handy field piece which
they use in northern India. 1t is also
carried in sections, the gun complete
being too heavy for one animal to pack.
1t has been claimed for the English
weapon that it throws a heavier shell
than any other mountain gun, and that
the mine effect at the end of the shell
is correspondingly greater. Still, the
Spanish weapon Is considered supoiloi
even to this.
1t must be borne in mind that the
field artillery of the United States at
present consists of but fourteen bat
teries. The batteries of which SO much
is said in the reports of the Philippine
are volunteers. They should
not be held much longer while here is
the great bulk Of the regular army
doing nothing in the suppression of an
uprising upon which it is right to try
the strength of the regulars before en-
gaging the volunteers. One of the
most important arms Of the service is
field artillery. 1t is the modern back
bone of the army. Congress should
pay particular attention 10 it, increase
the regular artillery. relieve the volun-
teers and let them come home.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-02-27
FIELD ARTILLERY.

One branch of the military service
ought TO be strengthened by congress
although a complete reorganization OF
the entire army may not be deemed ad-
visabIe under the present management
of the war department.
Every dispatch from Manila has
something to say about the work OF
the artillery. The volunteers from
Utah have been in constant demand.
They have shattered the fortifcations
of the insurgents. RACED their villages,
destroyed their barbados and scat
tered the enemy in every direction. So
much has seemed to depend upon the
work of the fietd artillery that more
batteries and fewer regiments might
easily do the work and do it more ef-
fectiveiy. If we hold the Philippines
for any length of time, even long
enough to pac:fy the natives and re-
store order in Luzon, it will be neces-
sary to establish garrisons and, prob
ably, to follow the rebels into the in
terror now and then, at least until they
are thoroughly convinced that further
resistance is vain.
No branch Of the service can fill them
with greater terror, or inspire in them
greater respect, or reach them at longer
range than the artillery can, and it is
TO the field artillery that congress
should direct its attention, with
a view to adopting weapon especially
suited for the service. As it is now the
boys are compelled to drag their guns
by hand through the swamps and jun
giles, over the hills and across the
streams, and TO keep it UP for long
time to come.
Several decades of experience taught
the Spaniards the necessity OF having
a special gun built for such work. An
admirable weapon was furnished under
orders of the Spanish government by
the Krupps of Germany. The Krupp
gun had calibre of 2.95 inches, and
was made Of steel. 1t was rapid-fire in
action and possessed the power to i'm
part a velocity of 900 foot-seconds TO its
projectiles on a powder charge of SIS
