SIMPSONS REPORT.

C AMPSONS report of the destruction of the
 Spanish fleet off Santiago was we'll worth all - the space 1t occupied in the of the day, and all the time given by the public in reading it. While it added nothing to what already known of the conflict, it possessed the peculiar eoquence that ever lies in the words of those who speak with authority" It official and in the sedate language of formal document confirmed every essential detaa given by picturesque and glowing writers of the great victory
 Some regret will be felt that the admiral did not in his report give special mention and honor to Commodore Schley, who in actual command of the squadron during the battle This would have been the more graceful on his part because in reporting the admiral the commodore had said: I congratulate you most sincerely upon this great victory of the squadron under your command" The opportunity thus afforded for interchange of congratulations good that mistake was made when the ad- miral allowed it to pass without profting by it. Caornians will note with proud satisfaction that our home built battleship the Oregon, receives from the admiral higher praise than that accorded to any other ship in the fleet In narrang the events of the fight they occurred, the report says: "The Brook yn and the Texas had the start the advantage of position, and the Brooklyn maintained this lead until the Oregon, steamng with amazing speed from the commencement of the action took first place."
 Later on, in summing Up the performances of the various vessels and awarding due praise each the admiral says: "The fine speed of the Oregon enabled her to take front position in the chase and the Crstobal Colon did not give up until the Oregon had thrown thirteen-inch shell beyond her. This per- formance adds to the already brilliant record of this fine bateship and speaks highly of the skill and care with which her admirable efficiency has been main taned during a service unprecedented in the history of vessels of her class"
 There nothing nvidous in this praise given to the ship that so ftly represents the hip-buding work of the Pacific Coast. That it was merited and deserved has been attested by all who watched the fight inteigenty In fact every report that has been made of the battle has given special honor to the Oregon, and the official report of the admiral has done than confirm the glorious records of her performances in the action that have been all ready published
 | The admraps report was accompanied by the re- ports made to him by the various commanding off cers of the fleet All of these are documents which our people can read with jtistly founded pride It Is notable that the commanders without exception speak in highest praise of their and give to these unnamed heroes full credit for their share of the great victory. Captain Evans (Fighting Bob) sums Up their conduct in characteristic phrase "So long the enemy showed his flag they (the crew. fought
 like American seamen but when the flag came down women" Courage in action and generosity in vic tory could go further nor the highest chvalrv be | better exemplhed

 FIGHTING BOB EyANS-s. A. M. City. Robley D. Evans, now of the Iowa. generally known as Fighting Bob Ev- ans" was born in Virginia. He was placed in command of the Yorktown and sent to Valparaiso. He anchored in front of the water batteries defending the city. The Chileans had a number of torpedo boats with long arms. on which torpedoes were placed. The boats were pelng maneuvered in an unpleasant and threatening manner for some time Ey- ans watched these movements until they became unbearable. He had the guns of the Yorktown loaded and the ship cleared Tor action, after which he got into his cutter and went to the commanding gen eral, told him he wanted the torpedo boat business stopped and gave him half an hour to take them out of the harbor
 Whether right or wrong, his request was compiled with. It was there, from the stand he took, that he gained the name of Fighting Bob" He it was who told Secretary Herbert that 1t would please him to make Spanish the prevailing Ian guage In hell for the next five years.

STORM CENTER OF MAGUlREIsM.

D CAREFUL analysis of Democratic events / \ and their causes thus far ill the campaign in 4 dicate that the storm center of Maguireism i'll this State is located somewhere in the vicinity ot Tulare The Mcguire idea originated in resolutions passed by the County Committee Of that county. Thereupon Chairman Afford of the State Committee, who halls from Tulare came north and appointed a committee of nine settle actonal difficulties in this city This committee surmounted all obstacles by ap- pointing a committee of one hundred and investing 1t with full power to act.
 Thus it will be perceived that Maguireism took its root in Tulare whence it has rapidly spread throughout the State Although Mir. Afford sought to cover the endrils with soil by passing through the State Committee declaration that the committees of nine and hundred had been created only in the peoples interest they have since appeared upon the surface The latter committee has adopted resOlu- ton pledging its faith to Mcguire and a sub committee has decided to appoint I54 delegates from this city in the interest of the COngressmans am bition.
 The Tuare County tail may thus be said to be wag- ging the Democratic California dog. Party inspira- ton having been obtained from that region of it was emnently proper that political action should start in the same quarter But it may with consider able propriety be asked, What interest has Tulare County in the gubernatorial aspirations of Judge Mcguire? The county is agricultural in character
 
 Do the farmers of Tulare desire the adoption of the single tax theory? It ought not to be necessary to remind them that that theory contenplates placing all the burdens of maintaining the Government on land Judge Maguires idea is destroy the fee-sple and compel landowners hold their estates subject to the demands of the tax eaters
 Or perhaps the farmers of Tulare desire to pro- mote the ancient feud of the Democracy with the Southern Pacific Company. But if they do why are they furthering Magure's gubernatorial aspirations? Huntingtons funding scheme will not come before the California Legislature, If their purpose is to thwar the multifarious schemes of the railroad mag nate the farmers of Tuare, instead of putting up job to appoint a convention for the nomination of Judge Mcguire Governor should petition that gen. teman to continue in Congress-
 On the whole We see no reason why Tulare County should be the storm center of Maguireism. Yet the facts of the Democratic situation indicate that it is

DEAR SIR:-The Secretary Disc PIow pur-
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
blowing the land fourteen inches deep.
feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
f to g. That is, with the old ploW, to do the same
work, it takes good mules; with your ploW it
takes only E, and they are less tired at night
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. LIDGATE.
