A Be1t1Sh Wow OF CnO FAMOUS 0otel0
@ with tho Alabama. -,ssts ~.
The old Kearsarge, which sank the
Alabama, has herself come to q vio-
lent end. She was wrecked q few days
ego in the Caribbean sea, happily with
out loss of life. It Is all but thirty
years, says the London News, since
she fought her great fight off Cher
bourg, so she has kept the seas long
time. She deserved an honored place
on the retired list of the American
navy, for she had claims on national
gratitude only second to those Of the
Constitution. Her fight with the Ala
bama was duel conducted very much
on the model of the old personal con-
tests in the age of chivalry. After q
hot pursuit she had at last cornered the
confederate cruiser which had wrought
80 much ruin to American commerce,
and it was well understood that pur-
suer or pursued must perish. She
watched the mouth of Cherbourg har-
Dor, which her enemy was under
short notice to leave, and the
fight was inevitable. The steamers
in port come out to see IT.,
and some of them carried ex-
cursion parties from Paris. The Kear-
sarge won by superior artillery, su-
lperior discipline, superior patriotism.
Her crew had q nobler idea to fight for
than the medley of mercenariess that
crowded the privateer. These were q
desperate gang, and they had given
their officers endless trouble before the
Kearsarge took the reformation of
their manners In hand. AS the Ala
bama steamed out Of harbor at ten
O'Clock on Sunday morning, June 10,
she found her antagonist waiting for
her and the two approached each other
in ever-narrowinR circles, firing all the
time. The Kearsarge was better pre-
pared for defense, as we'll as for attack.
Her commander had roughly armoured
her in the most vulnerable parts by
laying all his spare chain cables in
folds over the sides. The Alabama
opened Gre at a distance of about q
mile, and when the ships had made
seven complete circles she suddenly
turned and headed for the land. She
was sinking, for both shot and shell
had reached her with fearful effects on
ship and crew. A British yacht, the
Deerhound, which had come out to see
the fight, came up in time to save
about forty of the crew as they jumped
for their lives. The last shot was fred
as she went down. It was glorious
victory. We can say SO with clear
conscience now, as the Daily News was
among the few metropolitan journals
that said so when It was won.

The financial plank il the democratic
platform IN Arizona this fall will be one
founded on free and unlimited coinage
Of silver. The leaders OF the party are
fully in accord with this sentiment and
we are sure the delegates elected to the

Now is the time to show our hand on
this question and ace that it is incor.
porsted in every platform throughout
the country and then elect the right
kind Of men to carry il out.

to the effect that Utah will be admitted
