to obey him meant death and destruction
1t is in testimony now, and conceded to
be undeniable, that this careful and expe-
rienced commander, at the very moment
when his judgment should have been
clearest, issued an order impossible of
execution without collision betwe cen some
two or more of the great iron ships of his
fleet. One of the subordinate command
ers did hesitate. as was his duty under
the rule to ''avoid collisions" and sig
nailed back to Admiral Tryon that there
must be some mistake, that the ships
could not turn in the space allotted to
them; but the imperative order came
back to execute the movement, and it was
done, though the commander of the Cam
perdown knew that it meant the destruc-
ton of his own or the other chief ship
of the feet.
Had Markham refused to carry out an
order that was unwise, even insane of
character, the devoted men of the Vic
toria who perished would in all proba-
bility to-day be alive. But suppose the
subordinate Admiral had disobeyed, he
would have been court-martialed and
probably have been disgraced. He might
have shown clearly that to obey was
ruinous and meant death to hundreds of
innocent beings, still as it was his duty to
obey he would have been punished for
disobedience. But he could afford to
suffer that others might live; he could
have better sacrificed himself than do
that which he says be knew must result
in collision that he had every reason to
believe would be disastrous.
1t must forever remain mystery why
Admiral Tryon made the order that he
did. With his brilliant record as an
officer, his very long experience, his
knowledge of the fact that the ships he
was commanding were resistless in their
! force when under only ordinary speed, it
is inexplicable that he should have com
manded movement that by the slightest
accident to steering geer would have
brought on a collision, even if there had
been room in plenty in which to swing
the ships about.
There is but one verdict at which in
charity TO the dead we can arrive-Tryon
must have been insane, momentarily de-
mented For il iS in tastirn tI,et II n
aid at his side warned him that there was
not room sufficient in which to execute
the movement he had ordered, but his
reply was LET her CO." Certainly the
man was insane-it is impossible to
credit him with sanity in the act, so long
as we credit him also with ability to
command, under normal conditions, and
of that there was no question.

COMMANDER CAMPBELL of the Army
and Navy Union administered a fitting
public rebuke to Governor Altgeld at the
patriotic Sunday exercises at the Worlds
Fair. He probably put it rather strong
when he said that the Governor stood
ready to substitute the red flag of the
anarchist for the stars and stripes. But
clearly the anarchists themselves look
upon the Governors act as triumph for
their flag, and they do not hesitate to say
so in the open.

OBEYING ORDERS.

Discipline is an admirable thing. AS a
rule it is to be regarded as intlexible. To
obey orders though it breaks the owners
is a necessity in most large enterprises,
since it is necessary that authority be re-
posed in headship which can be held re-
sponsible. But we may seriously con-
slider whether it was not carrying the law
OF authority to the extreme when the
officers of Admiral Tryon's fleet saw that

H.fRD TO SATISFY.

1t is impossible to satisfy some peo-
pie. Many years ago, Stephen Girard
was accosted by IL pOorly-;lressed
man, who wanted work and professeG
his willingness to do anything. Gil
rard, who was an excellent judge of
human nature, after questioning the
man, became convinced that he was II
shirkcr, but determined to give him u
trial. Taking him into Il yard where
lay Il pile OF bricks, he told him to
pile them up i'll Il certain corner.
The man worked away all morning
very industriously, and about noon
made his appearance with the an
nouncement that the job was fin
ished. Very we'll" said the old
merchant now go and pile them
in the opposite corner" The man
did as he was hidden, and was then
told TO pile them again in their orig.i-
nal position. II don't see any use of that
work. said the man, surl!ly. Il pay
you Il dollar Il day to work, and not
ask questions said Giirard But the
man was obstinate, and actually quit
work.
y parallel case is of recent occur,
renee. An obnoxious employee in a
factory was discharged, and the labor
assembly of which he was "a member
demanded that the man be put to
work again. 'All right" said the EN-
ployer, promptly, send him back in
the morning" The old employee
went to the shop as usual, and was
told to take Il certain chair in the OF
fee. He went to dinner and returned,
and was hidden TO resume his seat.
The next day he wiggled through the
weary hours in the chair. The third
morning he asked if he wasn't to be
placed at work. aren't you work
ing - asked one of the firm. 1--WE
employed you to sit in that chair
1t is sufficient to say that the man did
not return to work next week, and
having discharged himself, no one
could find fault with the firm.

TWO SMART YANKEES.

Next to sailors, miners are probably
the most superstitous class on earth
or, rather, under the earth. In the
San Gabriel Mountains there is one
very rich mine which no miner will
work in for any wages. They say it
has caused the death of every man
who has tried to carry ore away from
it. Two cute Yankees gave this super
stition staggering blow last SPRING
They went to work at the mine in
spite of solemn warnings, and worked
very steady for a month or two
Then one of them disappeared, and
as the survivor, when questioned,
merely shook his head in solemn 81
lence, all the old miners said, 81 told
you So" Another month passed, and
the second Yankee disappeared, and
there was great uproar. But it was
nothing to the commotion that ensued
when miner returned from San
Francisco and reported that he had
seen the two adventures about to
start for the East radiant in new
clothes and the possessors of $50, 900
between them.

TERRIBLE NEWS.

Most people have heard of the dread
full collapse of the Tay Bridge, still
spoken of with awe and sadness in
Fife and Porfarshire. But not many
know how the news reached the de-
signer, Sir Thomas Bouch. He spent
the afternoon of that day-the day
before Christmas-at home in Edin-
burgh with an old friend, Macpher-
son. Sir Thomas showed him the
plans and discussed the criticisms
upon them. All cavil had been quash-
ed when Her Majesty the Queen tray
elled across.
In the evening, while Lady Bouch
and the children were putting up the
holly, the two friends went for stroll.
At one point Sir Thomas turned pale,
and his friend asked what was the
matter?
ooh, q very strange feeling kind

Fabian must have felt in Corsica,

But the feeling passed completely
off, and they reached home smoking

engineer, II measured the distance,

horse again. On we both raced, and
about one hundred feet from the
crossing l saw we were going to collide
without doubt. 1t was too late then
to stop. Just as we dashed upon the
crossing, bis horse swerved around,
threw the buggy on the track in front
of us, and the next moment, buggy,
man and horse were pitched crashing
