United States The committee intends to take

We commend the committees prudence. II
the three partisan Democrats who compose It's
majority are contemplating fight with the
United States. we think they will need the
active assistance of all their partisan brethren.
They are engaged in piece of tWo-fOr-a-cent
down here as partisan Democrats, not as honest
legislators, to throw mud at superintendent
Porter and through him at the Republican party.
Their object is not to investigate the taking OF

of the United States, to snow them the facts
and the figures. Mr.. Porter is not dictator.
He has no irresponsible authority. lie is Il

both feasible and e.ficaclOus. But the Demo-

a question which, as it is based on population
directly concerns every State as much as any

ADMIRAL PORTER.

Rv y coincidence that is at least impressive the
Nations anxious vigil between hope and fear
ovnr the bedside of the last of the great gen.
erals was interrupted yesterday by the news
that the last of the great admirals had gone
before Somehow the incident recalls the mem
orahle anniversary of Independence Day IN
1926, when there passed away almost III inc
same hour two Presidents, two central hgurcS
Of the Revolution, John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson. For now as then the llluStnous pair
leave behind them neither compeerS nor sue
cessors. Sherman and Porter were last ana
warm friends and strong allies from the INST.
No jealousy ever held back either from the most
earnest corporation no quarrel ever dlNdeu
their lifelong affection. Zach was the secohd
in rank. and after the war the first, IN MS arm
of the service In talent and in acknowledged
reputation each held the standing represented
nv his commission. There the comparison must
moods end. since there exists no common scale
hv which the merits or the services OF the sailor
and the soldier may be measured The loss
Of a single division of infantry in an unknown
slzirmjsh nav exceed the losses of whole navy
in an entire war. \ chance shot may in a

soul aboard.
FarraCut will stand for all time as the grca'
American sailor. Next to him comes Porter, yet
at An interval greater in every dimension than
that which separates Sherman from Grant
Forracut was made of sterner stun than his
associate and was cast in a stronger mould yet
none. not even he surpassed Porter in courage
in energy. in resolution, in resource or III q
certain breezy aertneSs that seems to belong
70 the true sailor as the deep blue belongs to
the sea.
Porter fought no battle and won no victory
comparable to Farraguts passage OF the MIS-
sissippi forts or to the hot August day in the
Bay of Mobile; yet from the headWaterS Oh
the Tennessee to the shaggy barriers OF the
Red River, by crooked bayous and through
swampy lakes, for thousands of miles OF the
Western waters everywhere beset by bold %
linking foes, Porter forced the prowS OF hl'
gunboats by the strength OF his WILL often 70
extricate them only by the power OF his genius
For this some shortcomings are freely forgiven
some failings readily forgotten.
When the las: of these five great ones Is
called from us the strain will have come to al
end. And when the country once more stands II

example may raise up new race worthy OF inc
