Admiral Tryons Fate If He Had Lived

Aullllld l L lyOu > I ate II ne TAU Lived.
LONDON, July Sir Charles Dixie,
one of England's most eminent lay
authorities on naval and military mat
tiers, was interviewed to-day concern
ing the reports that Admiral Tryon
was suffering from temporary mental
arrangement when he conducted the
maneuvers off Tripoli. Sir Charles
said "While the Foreign Office has
a deal to say on the subject, | must
confess that Admiral Tryon never gave
me an idea that be had any mental
weakness whatever. The blunder,
however, simply passes comprehension
Had Tryon lived he must have been
adjudged guilty, according to the pres
ent evidence, and unless the CT ,wn
used its prerogativc have been shot"
Numerous private letters concerning
the sinking of the Victoria have been
received from the sailors of the Medi.
terranean fleet One sailor, on one of
the smaller vessels, writes with refer
ence to Admiral Tryon's signal "We
all stood amazed al such a signal,
knowing very well that there was no
room for the ships to turn, but his
orders were obeyed. Although the
vessel was sinking under him, Tryon
signaled refusing boats May | never
see such wholesale murder again, We
saw men fall against the sharp blades
of the screws and cut to pieces The
whole fleet could see the poor fellows
standing in perfect order, quietly
drowning in their rank"

pertaining to the islands that residents should

this land in which it is unknown, except by

satisfaction for the fund Of reliable information
it imparts in its one hundred and fifty or more

A THREAT TO REBEL.

The RECoRD-UNIoN yesterday referred
to the intolerance of the free coinage ad-
vocates as manifested at the Transmits
sissippi Congress. The dispatches of
yesterday sustain the statements then
made, that the friends of free silver in
the silver States are intolerant to an
amazing degree.
We are now told that at the mass meet
ings held in Denver on Tuesday some of
the more radical speakers openly advo-
Gated secession of the silver States and
an armed rebellion, if the rest of the Ma
ton does not come to a way of thinking
with the free coiners, and that these ex-
pressions were applauded wildly by the
multitude. The Governor of Colorado is
reported to have said in a bitter speech
that the silver cause is so sacred and
great as to justify riding to the brides
in blood" Governor Waite is too VEN
cradle man TO attach to himself ludi-
crous designation, but we should not be
surprised if he is known hereafter as
Brides in blood Waite"
OF course, all this fevered chatter about
rebellion is veriest nonsense. The whole
Nation will be laughing at the Coloradans
presently for their ill-temper. Their
threats are so supremacy ridiculous as to
whelm pity in mirth.
1t is, however, a very unpleasant
thing to contemplate that any large num-
Der of American citizens should SO far
forget themselves as to threaten the use
of force and arms unless their brethren
shall do precisely as they wish and die
tate. 1t indicates the existence of law
less disposition that speaks i'll for the
proper settlement of the financial and
business tribulations of the times. OF
course in cooler moments the Coloradans
will regret the hot haste of their express
sion and their threat to apply sort of
armed boycott. But they have said it,
and so far as that saying is mischievous
the mischief has been done.
We shall entertain the hope. however.
that when the Silver Convention is held
in Chicago, and men counsel with one
another outside of the Coloradan atmos-
phere, and with some approach to states
manlike dignity, that such utterance
will be made for the ears of the country
as will command hearing and respect
threatening will not do at all.
The record-union., 1893-07-13

these must not be opened upon the high
way or at the place of sale. Liquors can
only be sold at places established under
the law for that purpose, and the dis
penser can buy only of the State Com
missioner. Bars are prohibited and drug
stores are not to be converted into liquor
drinking places. But liquors for all neces-
sary purposes can be obtained in pack
ages from half-pint to FIVE gallons.
This is very little short of prohibition.
1t is prohibition in one sense; that is, so
far as the public bar is concerned. But
manufacture is not forbidden nor dis
pensation at the places designated by the
State. The whole aim appears to be to
suppress the saloon, break up the treat
ing habit and prevent adulteration and
counterfeiting of liquors.
1t remains to be seen if this regulation
will increase drunkenness; if it will not
stimulate consumption of liquors at
home; if it will not encourage evasion of
the regulations, and so on. But if it does
not, after years trial, increase but
lessons drunkenness; if it is found that
men will drink at home only to satisfy
appetite and not because of the treating
custom; if it is demonstrated that it does
not setup liquor sideboards in every house
and introduce the members of the family
to vice not before known to it; if it is
proved by the enforcement of the law that
crimes become less frequent, liquor sick
ness less known and the criminal costs
of the State less great, then South Caro-
lima will have made its case. Not until
these things are determined with reason
able certainty is the State to be criticised
or laughed at for its experiment.
The record-union., 1893-07-13
A ROAD EXAMPLE,

Elsewhere we publish an article, con-
densed from two elaborate articles in the
New York Tribune of July Sd, on the
experiment the Empire State is making
to prove that good, permanent, hard and
enduring road is better and cheaper than
an apparently cheaper road.
We invite the attention of all rural resi-
dents to the article. The outcome of the
experiment of which it treats will be
looked for with deep interest. We have
no doubt as to what it will be- New
York's model road will demonstrate that
to build thin, flat rock substructure and
Telford macadam road absolutely costs
less, all things considered, than the COM
mon scraped-up dirt road
We have the same difficulty here that
Governor Flower meets with in New
Hork-the cry of the agriculturist that he
cannot afford to build fine macadam
roads. The fact is, and New York is about
to prove that which New Jersey has
demonstrated and which Indiana has es-
tablished, that the modern road costs
less, take five years group Of expenses,
