Staining Al Partisan crilieism.

The following would hardly be worth
notice, coming as It does from the
Tucker county Democratic organ. which
seems belonged with partisan pretu-
dice, were Il not for the fact that it is
being circulated by a number of more
prominent Democratic papers In the
state: THE administration" says the
Tucker orgaR seems determined to
hold back the southern men and not give
Them an opportunity to win honor and
glory in this war. Why hasn't Fltz-
hugh Lee been sent to the front? Can
II be the administration is afraid to let
him go9"
THIS sort of nonsense may have ~ eff
fect among the readers Of the Tucker
paper, VINO may not have the opportuui-
4les to keep up with all the war news as
pubNshed In the daily press but we are
surprised to see It copied IN one OF two
Democratic datlies in the state. which

while there can be no public know
ledge yet Of the exact character OF the
tepty that VIII be made to the Spanish
overture for peace. and the terms that
win be fixed by the President as basis
for negotiations, there is no reason to
believe that the main points, as out
lined by the Associated Press dis
patches Thursday morning, were far
from what will be offered to Spain. It
seems to be generally conceded that
Spain win accept the demand for the re-
linquishment Of her power over Cuba
and Puerto Rico as necessity Of the
situation.
According to the Washington infor-
nation we have at hand, evidently
based upon more than rumor, the only
phase Of the matter involving peace
terms which is subject to urtherconsid-
GRAFTON, and perhaps amendment, con-
Germs the disposition Of the Philippines.
There does not seem to be any purpose
on the part Of the administration to ac-
qulre the Philippines, with all the COM
pi4cat4onS that would ensue. The Pres
ident ls known, II reports are to be cred
tied, to be opposed to such course, and
in all probability the purpose is to re-
tain cOaiing station in the group, Any
other course in the Philippine matter
wiz look to the assurance Of better rule
Influences to induce the President to
bring about an independent form Of
government for the islands under pro-
tectorate are said. to be at work, but It
Is stated that the original trims fixed
upon may be adhered to. Whatever is
done there Will be no sacrifice of the
honor and the rights Of this Nation On
the premises.
whether the reply OF Spain will be de-
clded upon to-day or not depends upon
whether or not the Philippine phase is
to engage the cabinet in further discus
sion, a. the other points are said to be
practically settled. The general tenor
Of public expression through the press
seems to accord with the policy under
stood to have been adopted by the
President. Confidence In the wisdom Of
the administration to settle all perplex-
Ing questions without a departure from
the maAn purpose inspiring the war, be-
yond what war necessities demand, is
general throughout the country, and
there 10 no doubt that the course to be
taken viii be satisfactory to the peo-
pie. It Is a trying moment. Our cool-
headed. conservative. patriotic Presi-
dent win stand the test.

capt Bob Evan., TrLbu.s to n. Men.

Perhaps the most eloquent tribute
which mas yet been paid 70 our Ameri-
can naval heroes Is that which is con-
tained in the oficial report Of Captain
R. D, Evans, Of the iowa, concerning the
part which his ship took in the destrue-
tIon Of the spanish feet of Santiago.
Referring to the splendid conduct Of his
crew, ne writes these words. which
might wei be written also Of all the
seamen In the American navy who have
been tested in this war: II cannot" says
Fighting Bob Evans, express my adj
miratlon for my magnificent crew. So
long as the enemy showed tis nag they
fought like American seamen, but when
the nag came down they were as tender
and gentle as American women"
Could any commander in time Of
war say more than this Of his men? Sea-
men, it Is PECULIARLY supposed, are as a
rule, a rough class Of men. and SO they
are when we speak Of seamen in some
navies-the Spanish, for instance. But
this cannot be said of our American
heroes. Instances without number are
related by naval officers Of the national
pride which inspires the crews that man
American warships. They are not mere
mercenaries nor are they cold-blooded
butchers. They are devoted to the
glorious Tag of their country and know
and appreciate oil that 1t signifies. They
are intelligent, and typical representa-
dives of sturdy American manhood. and
in time Of war, as this war has demon
strated, are, and have ever been, en-
thusiastic IN their devotion to the honor
Of the navy. In every action upon every
ship this is the rule, and not one case of
cowardice has ever been known, 50 far
as the public knows
II is the Nations pride that an Amer
lean commander can say Of tas crew, af-
ter being in a battle, in many respects
one OF the most remarkable in history,
that they fought like American seamen
and after the surrender OF the enemy,
which knew only Of barbartc methods of
warfare, they were cas- tender and gem
tie as American women" It is in ae-
cordance with the spirit that provoked
the United states to war-the spirit Of
humanity, that our lighting crews
should be composed Of men with human
hearts and humane natures.
Captain Bob Evans tribute to his own
maEnfncent crew, can be we'll said by all
the other commanders Of thetr own men.
Let our laudations Of the gallantry of
the soldiers and Seamen Of this country
be all the more heartfelt because 1T can
be said Of them that they fight with the
courage and determination which has
characterized American heroes from the
beginning OF the republic, and that they
can be as gentle and tender as American
women In the hour of triumph over a
Inundated enemy.
