A simple marble cross, erected by the
officers and crew Of the United States
cruiser Baltimore, marks the spot where
Boatswaia Charles w Riggin and Sea-
man William Turnbull sleep the sleep
of death.
In my whole career as sailor can
not recall to memory story so dramatic
those two men To be sure, the voca-
ton of sailor is glorious one, and
from the times Of the old Phpnicians
down to the present day Jack has been
the most constant messenger of civiliza-
ton. On nearly every page of history
We find written. in golden letters, deeds
Of gallantry and devotion which, fo-
their simple stole herolsm touch the
hearts of men And among the sailors
Of the world the American stands near
the top
The Riggin and Turnbull episode goes
TO prove this. Cases III which the COM
mander of vessel pays such touching
tribute to one of his crew as Captain
Schiey has paid in his letter to the
brother of the murdered boatswain's
mate, living at Philadelphia, are very
rare in the naval annals of any nation.
lit is with feelings of the greatest sor-
row." writes the gallant commander
from Valparaiso, THAT | have to COM
municate to you the death of your
brother, Charles W. Riggin, while on his
liberty at this place His tragic death
at the hands OF mob embittered
against all Americans has left wound
in the hearts of his shipmates that may
not soon heal, and the time will soon
come when it will be avenged by all who
remember his worth and his genial good
manners. L feel more than ordinary
sorrow as the commanding officer in
being the messenger Of such sad in
telligence to you. but | can assure you
that his name and his worth will not bs
forgotten so long as honor her record
keeps"
After such eulogy of the dead man
it is hardly necessary to add another
word of praise.
Riggin evidently was sailor at heart.
He loved the sea above everything. Born
on the shores of the Atlantic, he had
heard che mysterious voices of the deep
call to him from his earliest youth. He
was filed with an indefinable longing to
roam the ocean beneath the shelter of
the stars and stripes. From the day he
entered the navy to the day Gillian
mob robbed him of his life he did his
duty. All his actions show that his
mind was animated with that sturdy de-
termination to excel, which is one of the
most glorious and characteristic quail
ties of the American tar. Who can ever
tell what dreams of a great future lay in
his sturdy heart and what manly ambi-
tons are buried in the grave where he
now rests? On his breast he wore the
medal for Fidelity. Zeal and ODE
dience." Nay, more; with these quail
ties he even tried to inspire all around
him, and especially his youthful nephew.
Always after his return from distant
shores he took the child upon his lap
and told him tales of the ocean and the
foreign countries he had visited and the
strange peoples he had met, and urged
him to revere and be loyal to the flag OF
the great and reunited republic
Ever since the Declaration of INDIE
pendence there is not a single incident
on record OF which | am aware when
the American Jack Tar has failed to do
his duty. Who can forget Captain

Of the Confederates. The credit for this
act of bravery is given to sailor named
Emerson, who coolly fired his gun,

Another instance of recorded bravery
is the act of Quarter Gunner " God, who
lost both arms and legs. and on being
offered assistance cried out: Back to

the world The same fate that swept
the Cumberland from the surface of the
seas also struck the Congress, which after
a gallant struggle went upin flames.
The details of the blowing up of the
Confederate vessel Albemarle by Lieu
tenant Gushing are well known. Of the
six men who were on board the little
steam launch only Paymaster Francis
A. Swan is now alive. Three of the
crew were killed, and among them two
who helped to fire the spar torpedo

vessel.

of the same atlas the Gulf of Mexico ap-

Grover Cleveland is too well-known to need
any extended sketch. Every body knows that
he was born in New Jersey, of Maryland stock
on his maternal side; that he Il clerk in IL
store; an apprentice to an attorneys firm, dur
ing which time he studied law; that he located
in Buffalo, New York, where his sturdy quail
ties became known; that he was chosen sheriff
of the city, then mayor, then governor of New
York, then President, his rapid rise being the
most marked in American politics. As Presi-
dent, his record is above reproach, ana MS ad-
mnistration was as clean and able as any the
country has been blessed with. He inculcatcd
the doctrine that public Office is n public trust,
ton of taxation. He taught public officials
that efficiency i'll their work was above their
ability to run primaries and conventions, and
that offensive partlZanShlp was just cause ior

president of that institution. Among his class

other distinguished men. He also attended the
Illinois Wesleyan University. Soon after
graduating Mr.. Stevenson removed TO Illinois,
where he studied law with the late Hon. David

ington at the age of twenty-five. He rose rap
In 1859 he removed to Woodford county,
KY From 1861 to 1865 he held the office of
master i'll chancery. In 1864 he was elected
states attorney of the Twenty-third judicial
district, and held the Office four years. He
was candidate for presidential elector on the
Mcclellan ticket in 1864. In 1868 he resumed
the practice of the law in Bloomington; was
elected in 1874 to the Forty-fourth Congress
was member of the board of visitors to the
West Point Military Academy i'll 1877; was
elected representative in 1873 TO the Forty

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Great as Mr.. Harri-
cd condition ever since he knew that Mr.. Cleve-
land would again be his opponent and the con-
ference he has had with the members
which is to-day in session here, have
not had tendency to add to his seren-
ity. These men are practical politicians and
MS such they fully realize the situation and by
some very plain talking they have endeavOred
TO open Mr.. HarrisOn's eyes to the dangers
which confront him, and there are indications
that they have mt least partially succeeded
Nearly all of the Democratic Senators and
Representatives who attended the convention
have returned to Washington, and when one
considers how many of them left here in favor
of nominating some one else, it is really sur
prising to find the unanimity of opinion which
now prevails among them regarding the
strength of the ticket and its chances to win.
Some of them think the fight will be harder
than others do, but they all think that with
united effort Cleveland and Stevenson can be
elected, and the Democrat who doubts that
such an effort will be made is yet to be found.
Representative Covert, a Tammany member
united support of the New York Democrats :;
there are no traitors in Tammany Hail." An
other Tammany member says, II have no all-
thority to speak for Senator Hill, but l will
stake my existence that when the fight begins
he will be found in the thickest of it working
for the election of the ticket. His much carl
featured motto II am q Democrat" is not q
sham.
Mr. Stevenson's nomination for Vice Presi-
dent was most enthusiastically received by his
very large circle of personal friends in WASH
ington.
Whiteaw Reid was one of the originators of
a scheme to get something for nothing, which
has since become more or less popular with
newspaper correspondents and others having Il
pull with the Congressional appointing pow
ers. 1t was away back in 1865 that Mr.. Reid,
while serving as Washington correspondent
was appointed Assistant Librarian of Congress-
at salary of 81 800 per annum. MIR. Reid was
duly sworn in and for quite long period he
81 whom M
ployed at $50 per month did the work. Thus
it will be seen that Mr.. Reid made an early be-
ginning in the thrift which later was the
cause of his making the ". y. Tribune a rat"
establishment, and of his violating the alien
contract labor law by importing cheap foreign
residence.
Speaking of Reid, he made hurried trip to
Washington as soon as he learned that some of
the Harrison men were scheming to drive him
from the ticket, and rs soon as he got here he
made a bee line for the White House, where he
