Winfield S. Schley,
Who will Command the GreelS
Relief Expedition.
His Record in Our Navy.
a grave question

We this week present our readers
with the likeness of Commander w. 8.
Schley. of the United States Navy.
who will have charge of the expedi-
ton that will soon sail for the Arctic
regions in search of the Greeley party.
From the sad fate of a long list of
Ar, tic explorers and relief parties who
have gone to the frozen regions of
the north never to return, it will be
readily conceived that he who volun-
teers his services to penetrate that ice-
berg cemetery of heroic explorers in
search of lost humanity or their re-
mains, is a man of that patriotic bra
very which commands the admiration
of the whole civilized world. Upon
the tablet which bears the names of a
score of valiant Arctic heroes will
now be placed that of Winfield s.
Schley, aud time will invest it with
either the brilliancy of a successful
humane accomplishments, or the sad
halo of another sacrifice of human
life for fellow humanity.
Winfield g. Schley was born in
Maryland in 1889, and is now in his
45th year of age. He was appointed
to the Naval Academy in 1856, and
graduated in 1860. At the opening of
the Civil War in 1861, he was attached
to the frigate Potomac as Master, and
stationed at Ship Island. In 1862 he
was transferred to the steam gunboat
Winona, of the West Gulf blockading
squadron, and was ia all the engage
ments which led to the capture of
Port Hudson, La. So conspicuous was
his bravery during this conflict that
on the 10Th of July, 1852, he was pro
NOTED to Lieutenancy. Soon he was
transferred to the gunboat Wateree of
the Pacific squadron, in which he
served for two years, during that peri
cd being commissioned as a Lieuten-
ant Commander. In 1857 he was as
signed to the Naval Academy, where
when he was transferred to the Ber-
uicia in the Asiatic fleet. After sew
eral foreign tours he again returned to
the Naval Academy for three years,
and on July 10th, 1874, was promoted
to Commander. He then commanded
the Essex on the eSouthAtanticS Station
during 1877 and 1873, and since that
time has been variously assigned. Al
the time of his selection to command
the Greedy Relief Expedition he was
under service in the Naval Bureau of
Equipment and Navigation.
Commander Schley is now actively
engaged in selecting and organizing
the crew of $50 that will accompany
him, and expects to sail on his mission
early in April. The expedition will
be composed of three vessels, and will
be equipped for a two years absence.
Mr.. Schley will leave behind him an
anxious wife and interesting family of
children, and a nation that will bid
him and his brave comrades a God
speed and safe return.

4" TEN BIG LIARS. "

To show how pledges" were re-
garded, when the committees hrst
ballot Of Is to IA for Chicago was an
nounced, q member of the st. Louis
delegation declared that it showed
there were ten of the biggest liars III
America" in that committee, and he
began to write down their names for
several newspaper correspondents,
when a strong pressure of his more
discreet friends checked the threaten
ed revelation.
The Washington Post, the rational
Democratic organ, and in favor of Nor
rison for the Presidency, says of the
selection:
"GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUES"
"There was no good reason why
Chicago should have been selected as
the site of the National Democratic
Convention, but it will do very well.
The location of the convention is a
matter of small consequence so long as
it is held in the United States; but the
date of its meeting is important, and
July Sth is too early by about thirty
days. The country has desired moth
ing SO much as short campaign.
1.-The preliminary canvass begins
forthwith. The Republicans meet at
Chicago on the Sd of June and the
Democrats at the same place on the
sth of July. There will be two Chica-
90 platforms to confuse the American
citizen.
"The devil must not be allowed to
take the hiudmOst."
T;>cse few editorial remarks exhibit
considerable chagrin, and they are
seconded i,v Randall and Morrison.
T called on these gentlemen after the
committee's SELECTION and asked their
opinions of the choice. Mr.. Randall
said quite angrily:
my hopes for Democratic success
are weakening. We held our Honven-
ton in Chicago and lost. The RSoub-
licans have always elected their C,>i-
cage tickets, and the place seems TO
prove synonymous with their success.
am surprised at the committees
short-sightedness."
Mr.. Morrison was less frank in his
expression and somewhat evasive He
said:
Cincinnati or st. Louis would
have been better choice and August
lst better time. But after all we
have the advantage of the Republicans
In a We weeks interval between their
convention and ours to compare our
strongest men with their ticket. Oh,
yes, we'll elect the next President by
at least fifteen majority in the electo-
raj college,"
"Are you candidate for the nomi-
nation, Mr.. Morrison ?"
-" Young man, / adjourn this meet
ing" said Mr.. Morrison, imperiousIy.
"And 1, sir, shall infer that silence
gives consent" retOrLed your cores

by taxation be conceded, instead Of so
conducting those Institutions, that they
shall be self-reliant and self-supporting,
which by very many is not conceded,

the request for such appropriation
would be neither just, nor equitable to
