FIRE ARMS.
It would seem almost useless in
this day and age of the world,
when arbitration and diplomacy
have accomplished so much
towards making war unnecessary
and useless, to spend so much time
and inventive genius upon destruc
tive fire arms. But there seems to
1)3 'an almost increased interest in
their productive efficiency. What
at the first glance seem to be par
adoxical operations are now taking
place in the manufacture of fire
arms. The tendency in the man
. ufacture of cannon is to make them
constantly larger an-1 heavier; to
throw heavier projectiles to greater
distances and with greater destruc
tive force. On the other hand,
t here is a decided movement among
the European nations to reduce
the caliber of the rifles used by in
fantry, and such a reduction is
under consideration by the military
authorities of our own country.
Germany having recently equipped
its army with a repeating rifle at
enormous expense and having kept
its armories at work night and day
to get ahead of France in the
matter, is now to begin all over
.again -vith a new small-bore rifle
because the French have a small
bore. The new arm ..ill have a
c-.tliber of eight millimeters, or 315"
a reduction from the present one
of 117". The. rifle adopted by the
French is of only 307" caliber, and
is provided with a magazine which
cirries eight cartridges. A new
concentrated and smokeless pow
der is used, and a steel bullet. At
customary ranges the trajectory is
almost flat, which, of course, re
sults in a greater precision of fire.
sot only France and Germany,
but Austria, England, Holland and
Italy are moving in the same direc
tion. All the aims are to be pro
vided with magazines, and the
advantages claimed are greater
precision, rapidity of fire, and the
fact that the soldier will be able to
carry about twice as many cart
ridges as is possible with the arms
of larger bore. The European
nations watch each other very
closely in the matter of armament
a-d if any one of them adopts a
superior arm, it infallibly results
in improvement by all the rest,
the decided effect on the soldier's
morale, of the confidence resulting
from the knowledge that he carries
as good an arm as the one in the
bands of the enemy, being appre
ciated at its full value.
No truer words can be penned
than this extract : "Many a man
suffers in the estimation of his
neighbors through no fault of his
own, but because evil tongues
assail his character and the dispo
sition common to humanity to ac
cept evil report without question.
Tins fault should never anj ear
among those who profess to tie
governed by that higher principle
in which charity is an important
element. Every man has enough
real trouble without being obliged
to meet those forced upon him by
evil minded neighbors, neighbors
in name only, not in fact ; for how
ever kind a man may be in the
way of extending aid, the good he
does in this wav can be neutralized
easily by unguarded speech.- If
there is the appearance of wrong
in a friend be not too hasty in
forming an opinion adverse to his
integrity. Trust him until there is
real evidence that he does not
deserve trust." If the precept in
culcated by this language could be
made applicable to the daily life
and business conduct of every in
dividual, a long step would be
taken towards the milleniuin.
San Francisco evidently will
not capture either of the national
party conventions, and the Alta
says sour grapes to Chicago in this
manner: ''Chicago has never had
a president, though Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield and Cleveland were nom
inated. That city's motto seems
to be, 'We don't care what town
gets the candidate so we get the
convention.' "
The Mormons seem to be losing
their grip even in Utah a little.
The first sign that the Mormon
church is losing its grip is the re
fusal of printers in Salt Lake City
t receive their pay in ordt rs on i
the co-operative store. For years
evefj' one working for leading
saints has been paid in store
orders. The result has been that ;
tfiey were charged from ten to j
fiteen per cent, more tor their'
supplies than they could have
bought the same in the open mar
ket. The printers on the Mormon
evening organ in (salt Lake City
are the first to rebel, and even
threatened excommunication had
no terrors for them. Tneir exam
ple will probably be followed by
others who have thus been kept in
virtual vassalage.
Law and justice are wonderful
things to contemplate, especially
when the law is administered with
the justice that characterized it in
the case of the New York city a
servant girl who sued for and re
covered $10 of wages due her.
Five dollars of it went to an officer
of the court, and the other five to
her attorney. The eyes of justice
are sometimes bandaged more
tightly than is necessary.
A Nebraska man convicted of a
crime and sentenced . to state's
prison, served his time and then
sued his lawyer for $30,000 dam
ages for mal practice.
