uneIe samls Quiet Work.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
Those who think that the furry
caused by the fear Of am attack upon
some of our seaports by Cerveras
fleet failed to make a proper impression
on Uncle Sam are mistaken. Disap-
pearing guns of the heaviest calibre
are being mounted for the protection or
our coast cities, and curious inven-
ton known as the telautograph has
been devised, by which their fire can
be directed accurately at any object
from three to FIVE miles distant with
out exposing even the gunner to the
enemy's shot.
The new electrical appliance is
placed in two narrow and tail towers
within a mile of the battery. The range
is taken, first in a far-off zone, some
five or eight or ten miles distant; then
for the second zone nearer and then
for a still closer zone. The moment
ship reaches a certain point. the dis
tance OF which is determined by anoth-
er instrument with almost mathemat-
ical accuracy the gun is instantly ele-
waited and fired. Neither the gunner
nor the gun crew need see the object
OF attack; and by the use of superior
smokeless powder there is not even a
pun that an enemy can discern. The
hostile ship gets no warning until the
huge projectile crashes through her
sides and explodes in her very bowels
The guns, too, are painted in colors
suited to the surroundings. and can
not be detected at any considerable
distance.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Suicidal Greed.

From the St Louis Globe Democrat.
Columbia's leading paper, published
at the port OF Cartagena, says the in
ternal situation in that country is
practically a problem Of national dis
solution. II is clear that the present
administration at Bogota, in its effort
to hold up the United States and at the
same time indefinitely postpone the
construction of an isthmian canal,
has steadily managed its case from bad
to worse. Columbia's present officials
have shown a gross misapprehension
of international duties. They seem to
be of the opinion that the intrigues OF
a greedy spirit would pay better than
"A straightforward. honorable, consider
ate course, and that they could so tam
gle up matters by chicanery that the
United States would be confounded and
cornered.
Chicago's theatres and halls are
closed because greed got the better of
the judgment of the managers. They
found means to evade the laws rela-
ting to the safety of audiences, and the
result was an inconceivably terrible
calamity. Rapacity viii cost the man
ayers a great deal more than a simple.
genuine compliance with the laws
would have done. Greed Of this crm-
inal type has not even the poor excuse
that something can be made by il.
Eventually the account is closed with
loss, and possibly in some frightful
form. Laws relating to the safety Of
crowds have not gone too far Perhaps
they fall short in some particulars.
To disregard them is to play with fire
and panic. No person of sense VIII
try TO make money along that line.

county to spend its revenues to en-
hance the value OF private property.
When the Levy Court undertook to
give effect to the law without testing
it in the courts, 1t manifested a dis
position too amiable 1t should have
refused to appropriate a dollar for this
purpose unless 1t had been compelled
by the court to do so.
Now there is a squabble over the re-
pair OF one OF these dams. and the
owner" (mark the word) in a COM
municatlon to the Levy Court com
plains that the work OF constructing
the dam has not been done properly.
The rudiments Of common sense teach
that an "owner" should improve or re-
pair his own property. A mill dam is
not needed for a road. The dam is
built primarily to make pond to
furnish water power. Without the
dam, IN all instances. there would be
but small stream across which tile
county could construct bridges at n
slight cost. II is a oct that requires
no argument that mill dams are built
for the benefit Of private individuals
they are private property--and an act
requiring the use of public funds to
improve private property will not
stand the test of law.

is to wage a conscience campaign, F"
and will be called vThe Christian
Party" A call for convention in st.
Louis for next year has already been
issued. It's purpose is to advance the
following principles: To prevent wars;
TO cause taxation to cease; to settle all
questions by direct vote of the peo-
pie and to apply the Golden Rule to
all government.
A very pretty platform is this, but it
win not bear examination. A positive
declaration against war would mean
that we would not fight, even though
our country should be invaded; in
which case we should soon lose the
government we have. No taxation Of
course means no revenues. and that
in turn means no government. which
is anarchy. The Golden Rule is now
applied as fully in the conduct OF the
government as it is in business or
social life and It cannot be employed
more fully until men become better
citizens and better Christians. The
Christian party most likely is made
up Of aged persons who are denied the
ballot because OF sex--a proper pro-
hibition.
