Schley Said "I Want That Ship"

Before the Brooklyn had fred shot
the Spanish cruiser sent shells all
about the American vessel, and from
that time until the Cristobal Colon was
driven ashore the Brooklyn and her
crew were very busy. Commodore
Schley was on the bridge during all the
fighting and an orderly heard him say:
81 want that ship. 1 have 300 tons of
coal and plenty of woodwork on this
vessel, and III have her if 1 chase her
to Spain" Soon after the Colon pulled
down it's flag the New York hove in
sight, and as the Vixen reported to
Admiral Sampson that two strange
cruisers were in the distance, the sig
nal came for the Brooklyn to investi-
gate, and Commodore Schley was
obliged to leave his prize and hurry
away. The stranger proved to be an
Austrian cruiser, and it WAS after mid
night when the Brooklyn reported at
Santiago with one of her compartments
filled with water where an eleven.inch
shell had pierced her side near the
water line. She met splendid recep-
ton from the heet.-Exchange.

perial policy will ss surely lead some
day to an emperor" and he declares
that when the British took possession
of India they appropriately called the
Queen the Empress OF India. 1t is
surprising that man 30 intelligent as
Mr.. Harmon should be frightened by
the word emperor or empress. 1t is
one of the notorious facts of history
that Disraeli's suggestion that Victoria
be called "empress" was but subtle
bit of political aattery, and that the
title is but an empty honor. President
Mckinley has more imperial powers to-
day than the Empress Of India ever
had or ever will have. His control
over the present war is as absolute as
the control of the Gear Of Russia can
ever be over his armies. And the
trainers Of the Constitution contemplate
ed that he should exercise that power.
Let us not be frightened by empty
words. Let us get down to the thing
which the words describe. And let us
remember that for thousand years or
more the Saxon and Teutonic races
have been travelling in the direction of
the fullest freedom. There must be
revolution in American character and
American ideals before there can be
retrogression.
To suggest that our rule of the Phil
ippines, for instance, would be like the
rule of the American colonies by Eng
lands mad king is to insult the Ameri-
can people. We cannot help regret
ting that Mr.. Harmon made such a
statement. But even if we made grave
plumbers in the management of these
Asiatic islands the people there would
be better off than under Spanish rule.
Regarded as presentation of academic
theory Mr.. Harmon's address is admir-
able, but he has omitted to take into
account so many tendencies Of human
nature that it is of little practical value
at the present time, save as it illus.
trates the difference between Mr.. Har-
mon and Mr.. Olney.-Brooklyn Eagle.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
Captain Philips Christian Spirit.

Rev. DIR. James Nelson, who was
some time ago at Old Point visiting the
American feet, which was then on
waiting orders there, was seen by
Dispatch man, and to him he gave an
interesting account of an interview he
had with Captain Philip, the Texas
brave commander.
81 read with deep emotion" said the
doctor, 1.-THE scene on the deck of the
battleship Texas when the gallant COM
mander, Captain Philip, called his men
together to render devout thanks to Al
mighty God for the almost bloodless
victory the American fleet had achiev-
ed. The scene called wildly to my
mind conversation 1 had with Cap
tain Philip in the Hygeia Hotel just be-
fore he left for the scene where he has
won for himself and his vessel death
less fame. We were talking about the
famous victory at Manila, and he said
in tone which never shall forget
these words: 1T seems to me, sir, that
if the enemy had thrown as many
brickbats at Dewey and his feet as
they threw shot and shell, they ought
to have hurt somebody. / think some
higher hand than Dewey's was in that
victory
"Captain Philip had to leave for his
vessel after this conversation, and was
expecting momentarily to sail. The
tears came in his eyes as said: Gap
tain, many are praying for you.' He
turned away, however, to hide his emo
ton, kissed his wife, and left for his
vessel.
81 have witnessed many an act Of
heroism, have seen many battle-scar-
red warriors, but no scene in it's tender
pathos and reverence ever impressed
me more. 1 had never met Captain
Philip before, but l saw from his bear
ing that he was every inch soldier
and Christian. l doubt whether the
American navy has in it commander
more worthy of the confidence and the
love of the American people than the
gallant commander of the Texas."-

Difference Between Mr.. Harmon and
Mr.. Olney.

The one man in Cleveland's second
cabinet whose name is remembered to
this day has expressed his sympathy
with the new American policy. Rich
ard Olney has no fears for the future.
He thinks that the American system is
flexible enough and strong enough for
any uses which Americans may desire
to make Of it. Judson Harmon, who
succeeded him as attorney general
when he became secretary OF State,
holds different views. Mr.. Harmon
is an excellent lawyer, q good citizen
and an Ohio man. But there is an
other Ohio man named William Nc
Kinley whose ideas seem to be Endorsed
pretty generally by the people. Presi-
dent Mckinley does not agree with
Judson Harmon. The president stands,
however, on good Democratic ground,
where he has the company of Jefferson
and Jackson and Marcy and other
fathers Of the Democratic faith.
Mr.. Harmon seems to be afraid of
imperialism" He thinks that if the
nation grows it will become "imperial,"
whatever he may mean by that; and he
believes that change in size cannot be
brought about without some radical
change in internal structure. The boy
who grows to maturity does not be-
come woman by virtue of his greater
height and weight. The calf, as years
60 by, grows into COW rather than
into an elephant. 30 long as the funda-
mental principle of the right of the ma
jority to rule remains unchanged there
will be no revolution In the American
political system. There will bsexpan-
sion. There has already been growth
beyond the dreams of Washington.
Mr.. Harmon's talk about constitutional
limitations is made too late. He is
simply repeating the arguments which
were made against the Louisiana pur-
chase, the Florida purchase, the access
sion of Texas and California and the
addition of Alaska and of Hawaii.
They have not prevented the addition
Of single foot of territory and they
never will. The people know that the
object of the constitution is to assure
to them the right to have that sort of
government which they desire. They
do not care whether its trainers fore
saw the uses to which its provisions
would be put. 1t is enough for them
TO know that the document is flexible
enough for them to read into il the
spirit OF the generation in which they
1--we. Our present method of nomi-
mating and electing president is a
more violent rupture of the intent of
the constitution than will be the extern
sion OF an American protectorate over
the Philippine Islands, or the annex
alton OF Cuba and Porto Rico.
Mr.. Harmon laments that "an i'm.

State Finances.

The State Treasurer's statement OF
revenue and Disbursements, for the
year ended June 30, 1893, shows that
the aggregate cash receipts for the
year were 1880, 030.44. OF this sum
S67, 1880 was cash on hand at the be-
ginning of the year, and 1926, 900 was
on account of temporary loans. A con-
siderable part of this grand aggregate is
also matter of bookkeeping, made up
of sums of money, like the income from
the Agricultural College fund (S8, 13O
United States government endowment
Agricultural College 1928, 0OO), the
State school and highway taxes, (each
Ssl ,682.54) that are received by the
treasurer and distributed by him to
the colleges, the cities and towns, con-
stituting a part of the disbursements,
but not the proper expenses, of the adj
ministration of the State government.
For the year S1,117.00 was received
from the towns for excess of liquor
agency sales. The collateral inheri-
lance tax yielded 81, 478.27. The
treasurer had on hand, at the end of
the fiscal year S137 ,431.76.
The debentures of the general as

Legislature were $6,590.2O. The fol-
