GUNS FOR COAST DEFENCE.

Every one who is familiar with the charac-
teristics of big cannon knows that they are
usually short lived. A fresh allusion to the
subject Is contained in the annual report of
General Crozier, chief of ordnance for the
United States War Department who declares
that the rifling of the 12-lnch guns used for
coast defence IS so badly eaten away by gun
powder gases that the guns are not fit for SER
vice after they have been fired sixty times
The statement is based on the assumption that
a charge sufficient TO give the proJectile veloc-
ity of $500 feet a second at the muzzle will
be employed. Obviously, If less powder be
burned the destructive action inside the gun
will be diminished, but the penetration at
distance of six miles Will also be reduced, and
that is not at all desirable from the military
point Of view.
AS a partial remedy for the evil General Gro
Zier suggests that a slightly larger gun than
those in favor-one having calibre Of fourteen
/ inches, for instance-be adopted, and that
lower muzzle velocity be developed BY that
change, he says, as much damage could be in
f1icted on an enemy's ships at q range of six
miles as could be expected from the present
type Of gun, but the ordnance would last
four times as long as the old Inasmuch as
the increase in cost would probably be rela-
| lively small, there would be economy IN the
proposed change. Besides, there would be less
likelihood that an important fertilization would
be rendered practically defenceless in a single
engagement not by a well directed fire from
the enemy but by the rapid deterioration of its
own batteries.
While General Crozier's recommendation prob
ably offers the most immediate solution Of the
problem in question, 1t does not seem impossi-
bic that another way may yet be found to pro-
! long the life of heavy ordnance. Much varia-
| ton IN the erosive action OF gunpowder gases
has been observed, the inequality depending on
differences in the constituents of the explosive
and in the proportions in which they are com
bined. 1t is not unreasonable to consider there
| fore, the chance Of inventing powder that will
prove less injurious TO the gun in which 1t Is
consumed than any hitherto used OF course
the possibility has often been discussed by
officers Of the army and navy, and it may be
taken for granted that many experiments have
already been made with a view Of lessening
or obviating the mischief. They have not been
successful, but further study may lead to hap
pier results.

WEAKER THAN HIS PART
From The Nsw York World.

Where there was no Hearst issue Tuesday, Dem
ocratic candidates for Governor ran up with their
ticket or ahead of IL. Mr.. Hearst seems to be
the only Democratic candidate for Governor in the
country who weaker than his party: To him
alone belongs the glory of running 5000 behind his
ticket in his own city And nominating that kind
of candidate is what Murphy calls "obeytns the de-
rnand of the people" Fortunate were the Demo
Gratis in other states where "the demand OF the
peoTxs'' was not obeyed IN Murphy-Hearst fashion

a PERSONAL REBUKE.

1t is against Mr. Hearst himself not against his
principles that the Democratic protest has been
registered. Mr. Hearst's recklessness, his empti-
ness his of principle his stiffness, and the
public odium visited upon him because OF his
dreadful newspapers, rendered him so objectionable
TO Democrats that by deliberate and calculated
use OF the privilege Of the ballot. they voted him
down He has led the Democratic party TO defeat,
where g safer and more trustworthy candidate
free from corporation influence and much more
capable than he Of impartial administration and
enforcement of the law might have led it 10 vio-
tory.

Associated Banks last week showed. as the
