This formidable weapon was about four in building, At the test of this great gun the object was a steel armor plate twelve inches thick. At the first fire a shot welghing 500 pounds was discharged, the propelling force being 171 pounds of powder. The target, 300 feet froin the gun, struck with a velocity of 1,600 feet a s oud, the projectlle boing driven the plate about fiye inches and cracking it. A second discharge pretty thoronghly demolished the plate. Then an 1,100-pound projectile was rammed into the monster and 403 pounds of posited In the cavity behind it This immense shot was driven of the muzzle at the rate of 1,720 feet nd, PROJECTIL are theso which better pons ve made cast steel was into powder out a se | destruction, and with an Increased charge of powder the veloelty was 1,075 feet per second.

In other words, explaing the object and purpose of the s to prevent the criminals and paupers of Europe from being admitted into this country as Immigrants. But who is going o look after the consuls? Mr. Stone pro- fesses to believe that there is no reason why our consular officers should not faith- fully perform the duty that would be de- volved upon by this measure. Very likely some of them would do 50 to the best of their ability, but it is cqnally certain that would give only the most per- functory attention to this duty, especially if they required to perform it w! out Increase of compensation or additional assistance, and neither is contemplated by the bill. In fact it would be practically impossible for some of our consular oficers to fully carry out the requirements of this measire unless provided with more assist- ance than at present, involving a consider- increase in the expense of the con- sery The disposition of con- gress Is instead of increase the cost of this service, Of conrse Mr. Stone has statistics which seem to justify his position. Everybody who rides the immigration-restriction hobby is loaded with data in support of his view. These are made to show that of the white criminals and paupers in our penitentiaries and poor houses there are more of foreign than of native birth. Admitting this to be true as to the aggregate, it needs to be said that the preponderance of foreign-horn criminals and paupers is only in certain localities—in the larger cities of the country of immigrants con- gregate—and is not general. Outside of the great cities the native born furnish the greater number of criminals, if not of pau- pers. Nor are the statistics conclusive ey dence of the insufliciency of existing laws, for it is entirely reasonusble to assume that by far the larger number of the foreign-born criminals came here without the least criminal taint. 1t will not be denied that for years the immigration laws were loosely enforced and that while this was so Buropean countries were enabled to unload upon the United States a great many of the classes excluded by those laws. But the last republican administration addressed it- self firmly to remedying this state of affairs and since then there has been little substantial reason for complaint. If the present ad- ministration will continue the policy of its predecessor in this regard the expedient of consular inspection may safely be dispensed with Every good citizen wishes the ex- clusion of undesirable immigrants, as now designated in the statutes, but plans of vestriction that are designed to put obstacles in the way of all immigration will not be approved by those who want the country to steadily advance in population and material development comnm sure of co sat ovils on mand a bill sential e proposed provides is consular immigrant United S certificat consul last show not the Stone, them some were or able sular to reduce where the worst class very LOCAL OPTION IN OHIO. For some years the people of Ohio have been disturbed by any serious discus- sion of the liquor question, though for a long time it was more or less of an issue in politi- cal campatgns, The constitution of the state does not permit the leensing of liquor sell- ing and the traffic is subjected to a tax. The question of taxing It for years figured promi- nently in the conflicts-of parties, and within the last twelve years no less than three tax laws have been on the statute book of the sta‘e, one of them having been declared un- constitutional by the supreme court, a de- cislon, by the way, which brought the tri- bunal, a majority of the members of which wero at that time democrats, Into a great deal of popular reproach. The presen: law taxing liquor selling has been in operation some ten years, and since it went into effect the question has been practically out of poli- tics, both republicans and democrats very generally belug satisfled with its working and neither party having any desire make the liquor question again an issue Ther now being discussed, however, a local option proposition. A bill has been in- which proyid, that the question whether the trafiic in In- toxlcating liquors shall be prohibited be submitted to the voters of every county, city, ward and township iu the state at the not 0 is in the troduced legislature must ! | toxieating lquor INUAY, MARCH the vote fn favor of proifbi all perso™®ngaged in the g with city, whrdgor township must dise the forty after very dealer who the sale within @ deemed guilty and [ghay, upon bt exceeding $500 nor less and be fmprisoned not more than In effect Cleve the unty tha pro e of in as a bever n such county busindss tinue within the date of the gieotion fails to disconti ovided shall 1or the time of a demes fined in any than $100 sixty i this land Leader, w) people of a ward, township, city independently the right to say whetlier sale of liguors as a beverage shall be nibited in the smaller or larger territory in which thus providing local option in the broadest sense.

Not content the many grounds for to the that are oftered by both theory and practice, some of the more virulent democratic op- ponents of the measure still that it is beyond the constitutional power of con- gress to impose a federal tax upon individual incomes. So accustomed have they become to the cry “‘unconstitutional” with reference to the protective tariff that th assume to raise it whenever any legislative proposition is adyapced which does not meet their approval. Were the income tax a new question to be dealt with now for the first time there might be room for a conscien- tious difference of, opinfon whether or not it violates the constitution. Yet here, where not only has such a tax been previously in operation in this country for a period of nearly ten years, but has also been several times upheld by the decisions of the supreme court, the claini”that it is unconstitutional should give way {0 arguments upon another basis. Those arguments are neither few nor trivial and are ample to condemn the pending income tax bill. £ > Rather than o this, however, a persist- ent writer in, the, Philadelphla Record pre fers to set up ahothery tribunal for the in- terpretation of thie constitution and to deny to the decisions of .the supreme court the authoritative place that they have hitherto occupied. “Notwithstanding the opinion of the supr ceurt that congress has the power to impose a tax upon incomes,” says he, “plain people will continue to regard such a measure as a very direct form of the taxation which the federal constitution prohibits, unless the sum be apportioned among the states according to population.” And he on to say that the supreme court Is not the keeper of the conscience of the representative branch of the govern- ment on matters involving the constitution of the United States. Whilst it is the func- tion of the court to decide all sults that may arise under the constitution and laws, the congress has the larger scope of de- termining the limitations of the constitution upon its own public measures. Should the supreme court decide in a suit that a cer- tain measure was constitutional this would not preclude congress from exercising its own judgment of the constitutionaliy of that measure, What is this but denying to the supreme court the ultimate power of constitutional interpretation”? Of what use will be the de- cisions of the supreme court if congre be permitted to form independent judgments upon question of constitutional law that may arise, regardless of whether it has been adjudicated by the court not? Bvery one must concede that each branch of the government Is entitled to its own judg- ment upon the constitutionality of any matter for which no precedent can be found, There being no authoritative decisions the government must- act, although its action will be subject to review should its constitu- tionality be questioned. But when we hav declsions of our highest court directly in point it becomes the duty of congress, equally with every citizen, to accept that interpreta- tion as final. Whero the court has decided in favor of the constitutionality of a doubtful there can of course nothiug incumbent upon congress to exercise the power. But where the court has decided against the constitutionality of such power it would be.v folly for congress to set up its contrary view as justification for an attempt to exercise it There would be 1o means of enforcing an act based upon such a usurpation’of power, and if congress and the court hoth persisted in their deter- minations we would see congress repeatedly cnacting laws upon! the same subject only to have them dectarbd null and void as soon as they should By questioned in the courts Once let this take place and our whole legis- lation will be thrown into inextricable con tusion.

Every lonest democrat in the land must feel humilated and sick at heart over the spectacle of a democratic senate abandon- ing* itself to a_wild protectionist orgie, without a thought of broken pledge and dishonored platform. — No voice is raised in all that din of conflicting interests to de- mand a hearing for the party’s promises. The affair lacks even the dignity of a con- test between protection and tarifi reform, Tariff reform is no longer in the fight, It has been betrayed by its friends and thrown to the dogs, and the victorious protectionist pack is snarling and snappit over the cholcest bits of the spoil.

He may be right in his anticipation, but we cannot do less than express our astonishment and pain, and our hope that his sin will not be ignored or condoned by the representatives of the church of which he has been such a shining light. And we must also express our detestation of the excuses made in his behalf by his personal friends, one of them a clergyman of fame. Such excuses would undermine the whole structure of social morality, by teaching that a man has no power of self-restraint.

The world is full of people who would pre- fer candle light to sunlight, if they had to pay for it. The fear of from doing evil, but love the good. Christianity says: “Love y yourself.” Society say what he is worth.” When you go to church to pray for the conversion of the heatlen, don't expect thie missionary to go at his own expense. One reason Why some preachers do hot reach the masses is because they get up in the church steeple to write their sermons. s L raging Indicati Globe-Democrat.
