Dissntisned INV nmcers.

1t seems that there is considerable dis
satisfaction among navy officers because
the President has sent the names of all
the captains of Admiral Deweys ships to
the Senate for promotion. The New York
Times makes the point that it is unjust
to promote these captains over the heads
of other officers for doing nothing more
than their plain duty, and the point is well
taken.
Nobody complains of the promotion of
Admiral Dewey. He commanded the fleet
at Manila and won great victory. The
entire responsibility for the course pur-
sued in the Manila affair rested on him
If he had failed he alone would have
had to bear the blame Therefore he
ought to be honored for the great victory
which he won. But the captains who
commanded the ships of his fleet assumed
no responsibility. They simply obeyed or
ders. Why then should they be jumped
several grades over the heads of officers
who have been, and still are, doing their
duty fully and satisfactorily off the coast
of Cuba? The people are not demanding
that these captains of the fleet of Admiral
Dewey shall be specially honored, great
as their admiration for them Is. What
ever the President has done in the matter
has been done on his own motion He
feels so grateful to every officer and sailor
connected with the Dewey fleet that he
would like to confer an honor upon each
and every one of them. But he cannot at.
ford to do an injustice to other officers.
Capt sigsbee, for his GOODNESS when his
ship was blown up, and Capt. Clarke, for
his skill and wathfulness in bringing the
splendid battleship Oregon a journey of
5000 miles without an accident of any
sort, are just as deserving of promotion
as are the captains who helped Admiral
Dewey win the battle of Manila Capts
Clarke and Sigsbee have not complained
of the Presidents act in promoting the
captains of the Manila victory over their
heads; still, it is but natural that they
should feel that the President, in dispens-
ing his favors, had sighted them.
There is a splendid feeling in the navy
now, both among the officers and men,
and this feeling win steadily improve I'M
less the politicians should influence the
President TO do something which would
tend TO destroy it,

Hobson's Genius.


Lieut.. Hobson will. and deservedly, be
called a genius and credited with a bril-
liant achievement in putting the stopper
into the bottle" at Santiago harbor. His
feat in successfully wrecking the Merri-
mac in the narrows Of the harbor, and in
position previously selected, was one
which will be an inspiration to the youth
of the land for years TO come. They will
wish to emulate his example. and like him
become a hero. How may they proceed,
with hope for success? Look to Hobson's
career for the answer.
Disraell was not a believer in what may
be called the spontaniety of genius. He be-
leved in work, patience, discipline. PA
tience is a necessary ingredient OF genius"
said he, and at another time: THE secret
Of success is constancy Of purpose" Lieut..
hobson's career affords an illustration of
the Disraeli idea His success at San
tiago was not the result of Inspiration;
it was the outcome of careful preparation
for eventualities which might occur dur
ing the course of his chosen career. He
had acquired and retained the inforna-
ton necessary to a solution of the problem
presented at Santiago; he had the brains
TO recognize the opportunity, and the
courage to put his plans into execution.
At school young Hobson was known as
a dig" a ''mucker," grind" and the
other terms which many college students
often apply to their colleagues who are
harder workers than they are themselves.
HObson was continually digging and grind
ing in the search for knowledge. While
others were playing base ball, or tennis,
or were dancing or flirting Hobson was
grubbing through his books. Having
brains as we'll as patient industry, he
took high rank in his classes, and upon
leaving the naval academy was made an
assistant naval constructor.
When the admiral wished a competent
person to lead the perilous expedition of
the Merrimac he selected Hobson. Why?
Not because he regarded that young man
as genius, but because he knew him to
be a well-informed, well-balanced, thor
oughly reliable person, who knew what
means should be employed to reach the
end desired, and had the courage to en-
ploy them. How well the admiral chose
the world knows
Hobson's exploit was a glorious one. but
1t took many years of hard "grubbing'
and grinding" for him to prepare him
self for it's brilliant execution. The true
inspiration which the youth of the land
should draw from the event, therefore, is
the careful training of the mind by pa
tient study.

The CndIz Fleet.

A Havana letter, in the New York Her
aid says the people of that city are very
anxious about the Spanish fleet, command
ed by Admiral Camara--lInown as the Ca
diz feet. They seem to have the idea that
it is bound for Santiago, ana, in conjunc-
ton with the feet of Admiral Cervera, win
annihilate the American fleet.
The Spaniards must be very gullible
people If they believe what their officials
give out and their newspapers publish in
respect to the war. Gen. Blanco doubtless
knows that Admiral Camara's fleet has not
left Cadiz, and is not likely to leave that
port soon. II is regarded as doubtful if
norc than one of the ships of the fleet is
prepared for actual service, and that one,
although the most powerful warship in the
Spanish navy, is not regarded as a good
sea going ship
But, even If the fleet should put to sea
and reach Cuba, it Is doubtful If it would
render Spain any service. If it were to
meet Admiral SIMPSONS or Commodore
Schley's fleet it would be knocked to pieces
in few hours. Spain has one fleet bottled
up in Cuba and she doesn't want another
bottled up there or destroyed.
Notwithstanding the reports sent out
from Madrid that the fleet of Admiral
Camara has left Cadlz and is on it's way to
either Manila or Cuba, it is quite safe to
assume that it will not move out of Cadi2
harbor yet awhile. The Spanish govern
ment is not likely to risk the loss of an
other feet-having lost two already The
third and only fleet which il has can do Il
more good probably by remaining at home
than by going either to the Philippines OF
| Cuba. Eventually the Spaniards in Ha-
vana will grasp the idea that Admiral
Camara's feet is not coming to their as
sistance-that they will have to take care
! of themselves

Gen. Woodford, who was our minister at
Madrid is reported as having expressed
the opinion a day or two ago, in speaking
of the war with Spain, that peace was a
long way off. That also appears to be the
opinion Of leading fnancIers in New York.
A high German Official said recently in
Berlin, that the Spanish-American war
would, in his judgment be the greatest
Tropical war" the world has ever known,
and that II would last two or three years.
We do not believe the war viii last two
years, or one year if We DO not meet with
serious reverses, because Spain win not be
able to continue it. If, however, we have
reverses Spain may get sympathy and
help, and thus enable her to prolong the
war.
But we shall not meet with any serious
reverscs If we listen to the voice of COM
mon sense instead Of the yellow journals
and the jingo politicians. We have in our
volunteers as good material for soldiers
as there is in the world, but they need
training. There could be no greater mis-
take than 10 force them into an active
campaign in cuba unth they have been
drilled. subjected to discipline and taught
what 10 do with their guns.
We are sure the Judgment of the Presi-
dent and the general of the army is
against sending recruits to Cuba who are
unseasoned and unframed andswho have
not been taught how to take care of their
health. They have plenty of courage, but
they need something more than that to
successfully meet trained soldiers.
A serious reverse would he costly in
blood and treasure, because it would lead
the Spaniards TO believe they could get
better terms by holding out than by show
ing TOO great a desire for peace. What we
must avoid is a reverse. and there is no
surer way Of avoiding it than by keeping
our volunteers out of Cuba until the gen
eral of the armS regards them as fully
qualified for campaign work.

The Oregon Election.

1t Is to be expected that the claim Will
be made that the recent election in Ore
gon is a political straw indicating which
way the wind is blowing with regard to
the financial question. 1t would probably
not be well to jump to conclusions. It as
true that Abe Republicans, who have car
ried the state, adopted a straight-out
gold platform. and were aided by the
Gold Democrats; but 1t is also true that
the financial question was pushed aside
as much as was possible by the Repub-
lican campaigners They made their
strongest pleas on the war issue, appeal
ing to the people to sustain the President
while the country was at war with a for
eign foe. 1t would be probably as nearly
correct, therefore, to say that the Re
publicans had won on the war issue, in
support of a Republican President, rs TO
say that they won on the financial is
sue. The Republican forces were held
pretty well in line, while the opposition
was badly split The strength of the op-
position was in the People s-Democratic-
Silver Republican ticket-a hodge-podge
of factions, as is indicated by its name.
Besides this there were a Middle-of-the-
Road Populist ticket, a Prohibiionist
ticket and a Socialist-Labor ticket. These
were, of course, side issues with no hope
of success; but each made an active can
vass, which had the result of detractng
from the vote which otherwise might have
been calculated upon for a Democra tic
ticket.

a PIen for a Pardon.

Gov. Taylor of Tennessee is noted for his
ability to tell good story as well as for
a softness of heart that compels him to
make more frequent use of the pardoning
power than does any other Governor. An
illustration of both of these traits came
under my observation short time ago
during visit to Tennessee, says LesHe's
Popular Monthly. I was sitting in the
parlor of the. Marshall House, in Nash
vile, with a little party of friends which
included Gov. Bob" when the latter was
asked if he were not over-run with apph-
cations for psrdons. The mention of the
word pardons' always starts the genial
Governor on a string Of stories, and this
instance vas no exception. He told four
or fve before the little party broke up.
Ono OF them, at least, is worthy of a
larger audience.
The Governor had fed to his summer
home to escape the crowds of pardon
seekers, when a woman who had sought
him in vain at the capitol was ushered
into his presence.
"WeH, madame, what can I do for vou?"
