clear by covering them over with sacks
of dirt.

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1897-02-25

GLORY be to little Greece! while the
great gladiators OF Europe stand around
bluffing, little Greece steps in and knocks
out the Turk IN one round. The Greeks
are now virtually in possession OF Gambia
and the civilized world has been notified
by an almost unanimous vote of the will
lngness of the Cretans to join the PENN
sula Kingdom. This is most propltlous
opening OF the latest and, let as hope,
final stage of the Eastern question.
While the Turk Is no mean antagonist on
land the Greek navy Is Far superior to
his SO that the war in tie Mediterranean
may be looked upon as closed.
Just what the great powers will do Is
predetermined. They appear TO be unani-
nous in their desire TO prevent war yet
no actual Intervention to prevent Greece
from carrying out her designs has taken
place, This leads to the suspicion that
one OF the powers, possibly England, Is
secretly encouraging the Greeks. If so
we may hope to see the vexed question,
which has bothered European statesmen
for centuries, finally settled, and settled
right. We may yet see a great Greek
kingdom in the east comprising the great
er part of the Balkan and Morean pen
insula.

IHE controversy aroused over the prop
osltlon to withdraw the Marquette
statue brings in as an incident the ques
ton OF the propriety, certainly OF the ad-
visibility at this time, of placing the eff
gy of either Rusk or Fairchild in Statu-
airy Hall at Washington. 1t is no de-
traction from the fame either has earned
to say that neither looms up in history
with sufficient prominence to be made
the states ideal. Neither had qualities to
excite admiration, though they do respect.
and neither has performed any great act
In the recital of which the historians pen
will delight to dwell. Some great virtue
civic or moral, some great deed which
adds to the luster of the nations history.
some great quality which pierces the lir,-
1t of ordinary mortal attributes. should
mark the character of the man who is to
be placed IN the category of the nations
lllustrlous dead. 1t is not so much that
the individual is to be honored as that
the qualities which made him great
should invest his effigY with living force
and make sentiment aid IN perpetuating
them. No one looks at bust of Shakes
peare without rendering homage to the
power of intellect and feelings of hu-
mainly are quicsened by the benevolent
aspect of Benjamin Franklin. We are
reverent IN the presence of the Madonna
and patriotism is strengthened by recol-
lectlons OF Washington called I'D by paz-
ing at his statue. The silent statue of
Robert Lee is eloquent of devotion to
cause and typifies genius as we'll as ac-
ceptance of the results of war. There is
halo of abnagation and earnest endhay-
or IN the cause of christianity circling the
brow of Marquette. History should first
canonlze those who are to be given a
place 10 the nations records The guest
is unbldden who is not truly and largely
great.
Rusk and Fairchild were good citizens,
honest and capable officials but without
transenaent worth and with performance
limited by average ability. They lncar-
nate no virtue whose dominion would
be increased by the presence CT their
effigies. In short, they are not historical
figures, and fall far short of the stature
which should be accepted as the stand
ard of admission to the national Statu-
airy Hall,

ohe lo"ed Launch, Which Was Back
ing Water at Speed OF Six Knots.
The Sportsmen's Review tells of the
strength of the devil fish, which are
caught regularly as a pastime at only
one point on the gulf. The fishermen
of Naples on the Gulf of Mexico fish for
the devil fish and get them.
"Col. Bob Holloway" according to
the Review, twas fishing for the mon
sters with a party of friends, from a
naphtha launch, when they had strike.
The launch was 25 feet long and con-
tanned ten persons. This the fish towed
around for an hour, attaining a speed of
SIX Knots at times, in spite of the fact
that the propeller of the launch was
backing. The whole fight was in sight
of the hotel guests, who had assembled
to see the battle between fin and pro-
peller. When the animal was finally
tired out and towed ashore it required
SIX men to drag it out. On propping its
mouth open a salt barrel could have
been rolled into it. 1t measured % feet
from wing tip to wing tip
Another Naples fish story follows:
"Mrs. Hugh Mcdonald was fishing for
sharks. She had bite. On pulling in,
the head of shark that had been at
least four feet long was found. Some
shark had bitten the first capture in
two. Later the big fellow was hooked
by Mrs. Mcdonald and was pulled in.
The second shark was more than IS
feet long"
