A SIGNIFICENT CoNvERsATIoN.-An
event that occurred when the Ameri-
can fleet left Chinese waters for Ma
Mia, is significant at the present time.
Prince Henry of Germany when he
called on Admiral Dewey to say good
bye, remarked, 81 will send my ships
to Manila to see that you behave"
whereupon Dewey's historic jaw closed,
but with perfect grace he replied: al
shall be delighted, but permit me to
caution your highness to keep your
ships from between my guns and the
enemy" 1t is said that the prince
saw the point, and it indicates the
spirit which still animates the hero oil
the Philippines should Germany's
jealousy result in any overt act.

If what J. Watermelon Redington
says of camp-life at Vancouver is true,
and the Washington troops are made
to do the most degrading servile duty
to the military satraps," no effort OF
the Olympian to belittle the fact will
be of much avail. Mr.. Redington has
generally borne a reputation for truth.
fulness and honesty, however much
he might be censured for his persistent
habit of considering life comedy and
the people all end-men if properly
made-up" and placed. We venture
to say that what Mr.. X. has stated as
truth, is the truth. If the truth hurts
who is to blame?

BIRDS OF PREY.-When the war is
over Congressional investigation
into certain transactions in which the
government has been made to pay
sums of money for ships, and other
things bought in connection with the
war is likely to bring about sensational
developments and to result in public
disgrace for certain individuals who
have used their pull with the admins
tratiOn to profit by this robbery of the
public treasury. Much information is
in possession of Senators and Repre-.
sentatives, but patriotism has kept
them quiet, and will keep them quiet
until peace is declared; then they will
talk, and there will be day of reckon.

THE HOBsON FAMILY. - Alabama
men are telling many stories illustrat
ing the peculiar grit and determine.
ton of the family OF Lieut.. Hobson
the hero of the daring feat of sinking
the Merrimac in the entrance to
Santiago harbor. This remarkable
family lives in the little town oil
Greensboro. Lieut.. Hobson has a
brother at West Point and another
practicing law. His lawyer brother
earned reputation by the way in
which he argued the first case he had
before tie Alabama Supreme Court.
1t was an appeal from a lower court.
and the following was his opening
speech: "Your honors, this case has
been decided by you already seven
times and each time it has been de.
cided wrong" He lost his case, OF
course, but he got advertised all over
his State. The whole family seems to
make specially of upsetting precedent
and doing things in their own way.
Lieut. Hobson and his companions will
all be promoted as soon as they are
restored to liberty, and Congress will
give them all metals of honor.
