CAPTAIN IHAiRRNGroN's RrrURr

CAflAIN lhAlfuttlNNIfION'S HllGIUHiN.
The people OF Delaware entertain
high regard for Captain Purnell r.
Harrington, not solely because he is a
Delawarean by birth, but also because
ne possesses many excellent qualities
which recommend him to the admira-
tion OF his fellowmen. Tie is a brave
fearless, intelligent officer, modest and
gentlemanly in every respect, and one
who has the highest possible regard for
the honor and well-being OF the naval
branch OF the Federal service. He Is
popular with his brother officers, be-
loved by his entire ships company,
and admired by the people, who have
wished him the best OF fortune at all
times.
The strain and climatic conditions
incident to the blockade OF Cuba were
more than his constitution could stand,
and he was forced to give up his COM
mand and to come home for the bene-
fit OF his health This is universally
regretted, and the general wish is that
he may be quickly restored to health
and active participation in the import
ant operations now being pushed so
vigorously against the nations enemy.
Captain Harrington was in command
OF the monitor Puritan, and we clip
from an exchange the following extract
from letter written home by an offi-
cer OF that ship:
Monitors have been doing cruising,
but are not intended for It. Their
speed is very low, they carry little coal,
and in this hot weather are regular
sweat boxes The temperature in my
stateroom is 92 to 95 degrees, which is
cool compared to that Of the warrant
officers, where it Is never below 105 de-
grees at sea, or between decks, where
1t is often 1875 degrees. In the engine
room 140 degrees to 100 degrees is the
rule. 1t Is remarkable that only two
:. men are to-day slick out of PIG. The
men are standing 1t we'll but the doc
tors are worrying about the future as
the strain and heat are getting worse
as the war continues and Summer is
approaching. When working the tur-
rets I have to strip to undershirt and
dungaree pants, and the men strip (
bare backs. In action, with guns heat
ing up, It will be no cold storage room
under the steel turrets, heated by the
sun pouring on them outside. Every
body is in good spirits, except on ac-
count OF not getting at the enemy. Tha'
Is chahng us all. The crew and Officers
OF this ship like those OF every othei
ship in the fleet, are red hot for I
scrap and are envious Of every ship oi
tug that occasionally has a brush.
These conditions, coupled with th'
gravest OF responsibilities are wha
overcame Captain Harrington and com
pelled him to come home.

This should be a fair and square
fight between the Republican and
Democratic parties, based upon the
principles which they represent and
their ability, as measured by the past,
to administer the affairs OF this state

thereof. We sincerely hope that these

be the main ones in the coming cam
pnign. Sussex Republican.
The appointment by Governor Tun-
nell OF Roman Tammany as superin-

Is but the logical and proper outcome

of the personal spleen of a senator dis

appoint his son-in-law to the position.

HOBsON's RlEWlAlRD.

Naval Constructor Hobson did a
brave deed. but it is evident that the
Navy Department does not propose to
place it on record as the bravest thing
done in the annals OF American his
tory. We are told by the dispatches
that Representatives Pearson, uncle OF
Naval Constructor Hobson, had an
other long interview yesterday with
SecretaryqJong respecting the reward OF
that hero. The secretary is puzzled by
the conflicting interests in this case.
He intends to reward Hobson in ac-
cordance with the merits OF his feat,
but would like to do this without in
justice to other meritorlous officers. "A
study Of the naval register shows that
II Hobson is advanced to the grade OF
lieutenant commander he win have
been given greater reward than was
ever known in our naval history. Cush-
ing got fifty-six numbers and gained
one year and nine months time in his
record, yet Hobson, it is calculated will
be given, il made naval commander

A PULPIT ATTACHMENT

Cardinal Vaughan Is outspoken in his
disapproval of the course and attitude of
the United States toward Spain. He dis
approves, with all of his soul, the unjust
conduct of this country toward "a less
powerful nation that is trying to defend
its rights
Ten weeks ago the cardinal would
scarcely have taken such strong ground
against US, and it is because we have
since given him, and other thoughtful
people on the continent, some warrant for
their later convictions, that we should en-
deavor to exercise large degree Of pa
thence with their findings. We started
out with the announcement that our sole
purpose was to pacify Cuba and give in
dependence to its people. The Teller
amendment to the resolutions declaring
war expressly disclaimed any purpose of
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT. And yet
here we are planning for the COLOMBIA ton
of thousand islands of the sea, and the
author of the disclaimer himself has only
lately declared that wherever Old Glory
is raised there it must remain forever!
Shall we blame Cardinal Vaughan for
scouting at the. sincerity of. our, purpose,
the loftiness Of our aims, the holiness of
our cause?
1t may be too early to make up correct
Judgment. The historian will be content
to wait. But in view Of the change in
public sentiment since we resolved to do
battle solely in the interest Of humanity.
in view Of the attitude of the public re-
garding war of conquest, territorial
acquisition, annexation, colonization and
trade expansion, we may not so much

POTENCY OF PRAISE

Both congress. and the president have
exercised pardonable precipitancy, since
the war began, in acknowledging valor-
Gus achievements of officers and men, of
both the regular and the volunteer service,
in both the army and the navy. That tele-
grams Of congratulation and resolutions
of thanks, emanating from those high in
authority, have marked influence in en-
couraging deeds Of valor is scarcely de-
batable. Men are, after all, but grown
up children, and the bestowal Of rewards
Of merit has ever been a favorite method
Of stimulating youth to greater endeavor.
The distribution Of eagles and the con-
ferring of rank upon those who dis
tinguished themselves In battle was char
acteristic of Napoleon, and. to it was
doubtless due the phenomenal devotion
of the men to their commander. A verit-
able martinez in matters Of discipline, he
yet could relax his wonted hauteur with
marvellous grace when it became him to
recognize personally exceptional service,
unusual bravery or marked courage.
The honors heaped upon Hobson and his
associates cannot but have an influence
upon the armies Of all countries, and for
all time. Their heroism could not have
been adequately rewarded in any other
way. Its worth could not be measured
in dollars and cents. The homage Of a
nation is a prize worth contending for.
The men of the Merrimac earned and are
enjoying it. Ten thousand other men,
as daring, stand ready to do as much, and
only wait an opportunity.
Tardy recognition of their heroic act
however valueless the achievement
would have strengthened the all too uni
versal conviction that republics are un.
grateful" and that exceptional service
for the government doesn't pay Fol
the approval Of their conscience and the
acclaim of their fellows, men will con.
tinue to do and to dare and to die. Reso-
lutions Of thanks have worth out Of al
proportion to their cost. Kind words
spoken or embossed on vellum, can never
die.

THE NAVIGATION MIDDLE

The somewhat anomalous conditions
that have been created by the annexa-
ton Of Hawaii without first amending
the navigation laws, SO as to permit for
eign vessels to engage in the trade. is al
ready perplexing the legal division Of the
treasury department, the points raised by
Mr.. Abbot Kinney in this journal having
been recognized of late.
The easiest way out of the dilemma
Is to permit commerce to be carried on
as before until congress can meet and
adjust the regulations to the new con-
ditions that have obtained. II there are
not enough American bottoms to handle
the tranic. no American interest will suf-
fer. Treasury onlcials may well wink q

LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE

Since the trustees Of Brown university
apologized to President Andrews for
their attempt to coerce him into

an innings in the educational world Of
New England. Andrews won a senti-
mental victory over the mercenary board
and resumed his functions as president,
but 1t is observed that not since has he
once piped regarding the alleged Is to 1

In Tonkin the French have 1888 ONCE
holders to 3lS actual colonists. And the
French pride themselves upon the EN-
cheney of their civil list, colonial as well
as domestic. England's office-holdine
contingent In its insular possessions
would make q powerful army, numer-
lically at least. Aside from the enormous
increase In the force effective Of our army
and navy, to maintain our authority in
the territory captured from the Spanish
we shall have to supply the provisional
governments with tens Of thousands Of
men to nll the petty positions in the diff
|ferent branches Of the service. We can
not furnish trained talent. since we do
not possess It, and It Is not the least bit
probable that the merit system will be
extended 20 as to cover appointments in
the colonies. Among the first acts Of
the next house will be the repeal Of the
civil service law, In accordance with the
demand Of the Ohio Republican state
convention. The rest vii be detail.
Large As may be the requirement, how
ever, there will be no shortage of Repub-
lican material with which to MI all the
holes. Men who three months ago could
not for their lives have described with
accuracy the location Of the Philippine
islands, men who did not know the La
drones were In the Pacific or that Porto
Rico was Spanish possession, will be
pressing their claims for commissions to
go to those islands and give stable gov
eminent" to their Inhabitants. The sal
airy roll will be made up at Washington.
and the money to meet 1t will be drawn
from the pockets of the toiling producers
of this country. Periodically we shall
have reports from the governors, explain
ing why internal taxes have been made
quate to meet the requirements Of the
machine, intimating that any material
tightening Of the squeeze will be sure to
provoke a revolution, and promising in
time to work out satisfactory solution
Of the problem, If let alone.
The lessons in store for the people OF
this country, should the imperial policy
be undertaken, are not problematical.
They may easily be anticipated. Our ex
perience will be repetition Of the ex-
perience Of other nations in the same line
Of business. Any variation from 1t will
not be in our favor. The embarrassments
inseparable from government at long
range will be multiplied by our inexperi
ence and our limited knowledge Of the
needs Of the people whom we are to
undertake to govern, for the fact should
not be lost sight of that they know much
less Of US, our language, characteristics,
habits, methods and institutions, than we
know of them and their peculiarities,
strange customs, modes Of life and ambi
tons. If they happen to possess any.
A government at long range by the Sons
