Some newspapers" said a promi-
nent naval officer, have published
pictures of a string of flags purport-
ing to signify in the international sig
nal code. Remember the Maine and
there are Stickpins of the same little
flags arranged in order. This is not
right, as it is impossible to secure the
official signal letters of the lost war
ship Maine or any other war vessel OF
the United States navy. because the
government refuses to divulge such
information. All code books carried
on warships have leaden backs to
make them sink if lost overheard Tho

OF for Chickamauga, Today.

Final marching orders were received
from Washington. yesterday after
noon and unless they are counter
manded, this morning, the 1st Regi-
be known as the 74th U. S. Volunteer
Infantry, will leave Post Powers at
special trains that are to carry 1t
Chickamauga where some 10000 volun-
teers are assembled For nearly a
month the boys in blue have been en-
camped here. and for the past week
they have been impatiently expecting,
each day, the orders that have finally
arrived. The regiment is full and
strong, well equipped. well drilled,
composed of magnificent material, and
ready for active service. Let Augusta
give it a grand send-off today as it
leaves its native State for the front.
There is no need at this time for the
Journal to add to the words of eulogy
and advice which have been given our
regiment. When it came into camp,
when it was mustered in, and at other
times we have told our brave boys in
blue what we thought of them, and
what their proud mothers State ex-
poets of them. AT this time we only
say with full hearts: "Goodby, boys;
Godspeed and God bless you. Take
care of yourselves and the honor of old
Maine"

Greater New York's Latest Scandal.


Tammany's corrupt rule In the mis-
governed city of New York, never re-
ceived a better, or worse, illustration
than has just been given by Mayor
Van Wyck. This idol of the Bowery
Democracy, whose election was made
possible by a disgraceful split in the
Republican ranks, has shown his utter
Nnfitness for his high position ever
since his inauguration. by every
means known to dirty politics, he has
striven to restore the conditions that
existed when Tammany corruption
a few years ago. He has made Great
or New York disgraced name, for
every American to blush at.
His latest act which all good citi-
zens, irrespective of party, and all de-
cent papers of the metropolis condemns
in unmcasured terms is his change in the
composition of the board Of police COM
missioners. The law provides that this
shall be bipartisan board of two
Republican and two Democratic men,
bcrs Van Wyck has broken the letter
and spirit of the law by arbitrarily de-
posing the two Republican members.
and by appointing in their place a
cheap ward healer whom he designates
,ph ~ il :,
disreputable tool of Tammany. This
new board at once proceeded to re-
move the efficient and honest head Of
the police department, Chief Nc
Cullagh, and put in his place an officer
who has been four times indicted for
neglect of duty, and whose record was
so bad that even a Tammany Police
Board once dismissed him. The whole
proceeding is as fragrant a municipal
outrage as an INSCRIPTIONS political
machine ever pcrpctrated. Van Wyck
is evidently determined that his admin
istration shall not only be the most
politically corrupt that poor. long suf-
fcring New York ever knew, but that
vice and crime shall exist free and UNI
restrained by any police control. There
is no doubt that the Tammany mayor
has usurpcd unwarrantcd powers and
ii is possible that he may b. impcached
or even removed arbitrarily by Cover
nor Black. But his successor would be
his tool Guggenheimcr. president ot
the council, and the city would not
gain much by the move except the
satisfaction of furnishing the testy
tyrant now at its head. Such is the
latest scandal that aflicts Greater Ne,,
York. In returning Tammany to pow
ct it sowed the wind and now it is
reaping the whirlNl ind. 1t is drinking
the drcgs Of its political disgrace.

The past month of war was, to some
extent, a month of panic. Business suf-
fered because, in the new, strange sit
uation, everybody was afraid to make
ventures, and purchases We're confined
to actual necessities. There has been
a change already. The feeling of fear
has worn off and confidence has re-
turned. Money is flowing freely again;
bank clearances in New York last

There is no more worrying about the
Oregon but here is another question.
Where is the Harvard? We all know
for we have read it, that she was
caught in French port and could not
get out: and that she was ordered out,
and that she was given leave to stay;
and that a Spanish boat was lying out
side to catch her; and that the Har
ward slipped out in the dark: and that
the Spanish vessel is still holding her
in there; ands that the French have
kindly consented to let her stay long
er: and that she is all right; and that
the Spanards are still blockading her;
and that she is back on duty as 4
scout; and so on. But really we do not
know a thing about her. The govern
ment at present is not telling all it
knows about the fleets or all it does
not know. SO the great American
guesscr has his innings.
