rs the leading Democratic mem
her of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee of the House. This is
one of the great committees OF
congress, and it is of special I'M
portance to the vast interests OF
the Mississippi Valley.
Nobody knows better than Cen
Ieral Catchings the needs OF the
magnificent region he represents
/ in the way of river improvement
and no man is better able to pre-
sent the claims of the mighty Mis-
sissippi River for attention at the
hands of the National Government.
His services in behalf of that vast
interest have been most d. tin
guishedand successful in the st,
and if the Democrats should he
able to control the next, that is,
the Fifty-sixth congress, the Cen
eral, by right of succession, would
become chairman of the Rivers
and Harbors Committee,
Any proposition torun out Gen
eral Catchings and to put in his
place a man wholly untried, and
/ necessarily destitute of experience,
knowledge and influence in the
National councils at Washington,
: would be a distinct and irrepara-
BILE wrong done to the people OF
the Mississippi Valley. Missls-
sippi would suffer by it; Louisiana
would suffer by it Immediately;
so would Arkansas and all the
great States along the coast of our
mighty continental river,
Without disparagement to any
other gentlemen who may be NAM
ed for the place occupied by Gen
cral Catchings, the Picayune is
convinced that any change at this
iuneture would be a calamity to
the great commercial interests OF
the vast Mississippi Valley.
The pernicious disposition mani
tested by the Southern Demo
Gratis to turn out their tried, ex-
, perienced and able Representatives
and put in men wholly ignorant
and inexperienced has many
time In the past wrought immense
mischief to great public interests.
The Picayune most urgently
begs that no such folly will be
perpetrated in this case, so that
all the benefit possible in the i'm
provement in the navigation of
the Mississippi River and its tribu-
taries may be secured to the peo-
pie of the great central valley, the
rich heart Of the continent.

GLADSTONE.

The greatest man of the greatest
nation on earth Isl no more. Neither
monarch, poet, nor wal .rior has
ever lived in higher honor or
transmitted to posterity a pureI
fame than he,
Too wise and modest to seek
earthly aggrand4zement ms the re-
ward of lif.s of noble achieve
ment, he nevertheless attained II
place in The esteem of his contem-
porari.es and the pages of history
pro dder and higher than crowns
or conquest can give.
Gladstone was a pre-emnent eX-
ample of the qualities which have
made his race the greatest of earth
greatest in moral strength, the
ability to dare and defy adverse
criticism, to hold unwaveringly to
purpose, and to march straight
onward in pursuit of those princi-
pies which are recognized to be
best and highest in the civilization
of Christianity.
The ninety years of Gladstone's
life will stand forever as monu-
ment for the guidance and admi-
ration of the generations of Eng
lishmen who follow HIM. 1t is
said, IN speaking of the men of
old time, there were giants in
those days 1t is common fall
lacy to compare with them the
men of to-day to the disadvantage
of the latter; hut to this error no
refutation more complete than the
life of Gladstone could be gwen.
Our civilization recognizes as
its perfect fruit a high intellectual
and physical development, united
to as close following of the moral
teachings of Christ as is possible
to human nature.
Gladstone, perhaps more nearly
than any other man of his time,
attained to this conception. il
deed, in intellectual DEVELOPMENT,
and its preservation Tndimmed
through ninety years of physical
vigor, he presented an example
probably without parallel while
the claim that morality, Christian
lty, public and private virtue, and
the cause of human liberty and
justice to all men is better and
stronger for his life will hardly be
assaulted.
10 the fondest parent, forecast
ing the life of a son, no grander
career could be hoped for than
that of Gladstone. His life aid
attachments viii form for all time
an example for age to honor and |
youth to emulate and in some in
etfable sphere he has found the re-
ward which earth could not supply. |
For he, with toll of heart and knees and
hands,
Through the long gorge to the far light has
won
The path upward and prevailed.
he finds the topping crags of duty sealed
And rests upon the shining table lands
To which our God himself is moon and sun F."

NAVAL PROPERTY
OF THE SPANISH.
The Government Concerned as to Its
Final Disposition.
CASE A VERY PECULIAR ONE
The Naval Properties Around Cuba
Not Captured. but Subject to the
Disposal OF the Commission
Probable Delay in Execution

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-Commander
Eaton Of the Resolute, has been given
additional duty in connection with the
American Military Commission at HaVa-
ma. The exact need for this IS not known
at the Navy Department the order hay-
ing been made at the request Of the COM
mission. but it Is supposed that Admiral
Sampson wishes the officer TO make an
examination of the Spanish naval prop
critics scattered among the various CUBAN
ports outside of Havana. The naval au-
thoritics are deeply concerned as 10 mo

by the commission. and owing TO its pecu-
liar status. not being captured yet act
ualy subject to the disposal OF the COM
mission, it is not easy for them TO fore

THE COMMISSION SILENT.
Nothing has been heard from the COM
mission itself since the cabiegram Of yes

thorities here feel that by c0nsenting 10

measure ridded the question Of evacua-
ton OF the urgency that attached 20 10.
The daily reports that come 90 the De-
partmcnt from Santiago make il apparent
that even among the immune regiments,

supposed TO bee almost exempt from at
tacks of climatic feycrs. much sickness
prevails, and 20 U.s. only fair assumption
that the ordinary troops would suffer

Therefore. while the American and Span
