of Command

ance of his duties on land and sea-
Among the ships on which he has
served are the Susquehanna, Juniata,
the Alaska the Vandalia and the
Jamestown. He is an officer of much
ability, and his selection for the COM
mand of the flagship is pleasing to
those who know him well. Captain
Gridley, whom Commander Lamberton
replaces on the flagship, was a man of
rare courage and daring, and won great
distinction for himself at the battle of
Manila on May 1st. He occupied the
coming tower during the fighting, and
was exposed to great danger from the
guns of the Spaniards. His death is
a great regret to those who knew him.

PELICAN GUN CLUB.
Yesterdays Live-Bird Shoot Won
by Upson.


Yesterday was perfect Sacramento
June day. 1t was, according to the
Weather Bureaus record, a normal"
day-not one degree warmer or cooler
than the average for that date. Con-
sequently people who could get away
were out enjoying the soft and balmy
breezes and this interfered with the
attendance at the Pelican Gun Clubs
medal shoot.
1t was at live birds, as usual, and
they were good ones. They went away
portant engagements to keep and were
behind time Only a few Of them
got there, however Louis Hanchettt,
who was present as the clubs guest,
scored - out of 20, though it was his
second attempt at the trap. L. S.
Upson carried off the honors of the day
with seventeen kills, but for a time
it looked as if Frank Ruhstaller, Jr.,
would be the winner. After missing
up to the seventeenth Then he lost
two in succession and also his twenti-
eth which dropped him into the six
teen hole, with Ed. Nicolaus. The full
score is as follows:

HONEST MEN AT THE GUNS.
Our English Brethren Are stiii Draw
ing Lessons from the San
tlago Victory.

Morality counts in fighting like
everything else. Your honest man is
q better man-in all things-than q
rogue. According to the testimony of
one of the officers of the Spanish fleet,
the crew Of the Cristobal Colon were
mainly convicts, taken out of the jails
and forcibly put aboard the ship just
before she sailed from Spain. Is it to
be supposed for one minute that men
of this stamp could stand up before
American sailors-sailors because they
love their work and glory in their
country2 Another Spanish officer is
authority for the statement that
liquor was plentifully served to all the
crews before the ships left Santiago
harbor, and that great many of the
men were drunk. Drunken conviets
pitted against sober, cool-headed
American freemenl Is II surprising
that in GO minutes Cervera's feet was
q mass Of twisted steel and iron, whAe
the American squadron had passed
through its ordeal unscathed?
We have been finding explanations
for the marvellous hitting qualities"
of the American .guaners, as demon
strated both at Manila and Santiago.
One. to me the, simplest, has been over
looked. There are very few Americans
naval commanders who have had
muck experience In fleet work. Amer
lean squadrons have rarely consisted,
since the close of the civil war and un-
til the commencement of present hos
tilities, of moro than three or four ves-
sells, and these have generally been
scattered over the station. There has
been practically no opportunity for
feet evolutions, for the Intricate man
euvers which distinguish European
navies. In their place, American COM
manders have devoted their time to
gun drill, to subcaliber and target
practice, with the one end in view OF
bringing their men to tho highest
state OF proficiency as gunneTs. Prob
ably In feet tactical evolutions tho
American admiral might be at y dis
advantage, but in gunnery he has
shown the world what he cau do.
Another thing we have been taught
Is the uselessness of the coming tower.
II cannot be ascertained that a single
commanding officer availed himself of
the protection Of his armored citadel.
The space is too narrow to permit
captain to see every thing happening
around him, and in action the COM
mander's vision must be narrowed.
Perhaps even stronger objection to
the use of the conning-tower Is the i'm
piled reflection 1t conveys on the cour-
age of the commanding officer. The
men must stand in the open, the cap
tain is safe behind his steel walls. The
sight of the captain standing on'bridge
or pilot-house, seeing and seen by his
men, encouraging them by his pres
ence, sharing with them the risks, is
an inspiration, an incentive to great
er deeds. Would Nelson he the glori.
Gus figure of history II he had been

NEW SCHEME FOR FARMERS.
Albert ). Enright, of st. Joseph, Would Or
ganIEe Tiliers Of the Soil to Control
Prices of Their Products.

St Joseph, No., Oct 4.-Albert j.
Enright political economist, 6nan-
cier and promoter, has promulgated a
gigantic scheme that he confidently
believes will place in the hands of the
farmers of the country the controlling
power now held by grain operators
and others located in the cities He
proposes to organize all the farmers
Of the United States into one man.
moth organization for the purpose OF
controlling the shipment Of their
crops TO market, thereby hoping
10 maintain certain scale of
prices and create and supply the
demand at the will of the producers
His scheme is TO have one man chosen
In every county to act as n member Of
the state organization. From each
state delegate will be selected TO ma
tional convention and this body will es-
tablish central bureau Of information
where the farmers in all parts of the
country may keep apprised OF the con-
dition Of the crops, the demand and the
price They will be advised in certain
parts Of the country when the proper
time is to ship grain, where to send
it what quantities and the price they
may expect therefor. The price will
be regulated, Mr.. Enright claims, by
the will OF the producers in making
their shipments. Mr.. Enright declares
that wheat is now selling for 30 cents
less than Its value, and that the crop
OF 1898 is no greater than that of 1897,
which is now altogether consumed.

A LARGE NUMBER SICK.
Fully 27 Per Cent of Our Soldiers In Por to

Ponce, Porto Rico, Oct At Ia the
well-grounded and almost unanimous

In quarters, out Of q total command Of
10000 men; that is, over 25 per cent
Of the troops are on the sick list
This, however, does not mean that
there is an effective strength OF

from the hospitals as fit for duty are
