The word war between Hon. Chas
j. Bronston and Morgan Chinn al
Frankfort last week, calls to mind a
similar occurrence between the red
headed LeXin gtonian and Hon. Will
lam II. Miller which took place in the
constitutional convention. The Bron
ston-Miller set-to was the source oil
much ridicule by the press. The fol
lowing lines, from the pen of the late
Genl w. j. Landram, were published
at the time by the Stanford interior
Journal, and they fit last weeks oc-
currence SO well that We reproduce
them:
In Kentucky's con. convention,
Two names We dare not mention,
Are Charles, the Duke of Bluegrass,
And William, who for Prince will pass,
When old Kentucky's sons are called
And chicken hearts shrink back appalled,
Two worthy thinkers, somewhat heady,
And for discussion ever ready;
Announced in tones not Ger polite,
That each was ready for fight;
And If, pei chance, the sergeant DO d,
Was not in strongest language told
That he should WELD his power and mace
To keep the peace amid the place,
Where sages sat TO contemplate
The duties owing to the State;
These doughty warriors seeking gore,
And panoplied like knights of yore,
Looked daggers as they proudly glanced,
And swiftly toward each other pranced,
Says William, Prince, to Charles, the free,
shake not your CORY locks at me,
Ny paint and feathers long have been,
By every member fully seen.
Ny Thomas hawk and scalping knife,
Show William is prepared for strife;
So come on Charles if you would bluff,
Then damned be he who first cries hold,
enough"
"william," says Charles, 81 fear you not
For, though no Injun, I'm a shot,
And certainly will get the drop
On William, if yor do not STOP"
Together, Char es and William say,
As every dog must have his day,
And we are only con. con. screamers,
Why should we not be, likewise, beamers,
And beam upon each other kind,
Before our fellow members find,
That neither one is counting death,
While this convention needs our breath.
30, "howdy Charlie" "howdy, Bill"
hasty grave We ne'r will fill.
And each took of his several way,
Resolved to meet some other day."

Advice to Young Men.

Foolish spending is the father of pov-
erty. Do not be ashamed of hard work.
Work for the best salaries and wages
you can get, but work for half price
rather than be idle. Be your own mas
ter, and do not let society or fashion
swallow up your individuality-hat,c coat
and boots. Do not eat up or wear all
you can earn. Compel your selfish body
to spare something for profits sake. Be
stfngy with your own appetite, but
merciful to others necessities. Help
others, and ask no help for yourself. Be
proud. Let your pride be of the right
kind. Be too proud to wear coat you
cannot afford to buy; too proud to be in
company that you cannot keep up with
the expenses; too proud to lie, or cheat;
too proud to be stingy; in short, be a
man of integrity and individuality.

THE WRECK OF THE MAINE.

The Spanish authorities at Havana
have had the wreck of the Maine de-
stroyed. 1t is said they were fearful
the Americans would raise it when they
captured Havana. The destruction of
the wreck makes it forever impossible
to determine beyond cavil and contro-
versy the exact cause of the explosion;
that determination will henceforth rest
upon the evidence taken before the
American board of inquiry, and the evil
dence taken by the Spanish board; and
there is no doubt that the world will
accept the evidence produced before
the American board and its findings as
the most thorough, reliable and trust
worthy.
In the minds of the American people
as a whole there is no doubt that the
Maine was destroyed through Spanish
treachery; that she was purposely an
chored over a mine, and that some one
in the secrets of the Spanish authori-
ties exploded that mine. The United
States and Spain being now at war, the
American people are anxious, above all
things, that the destruction of the
Maine be avenged. And it looks as
though it would be.
Speaking of the news of the destruc-
ton of the Maine wreck, a cabinet CT
ficer is reported to have said:
We shall make a part of our first
business, after taking possession OF
Havana, to find out who were the per-
petrators of that crime of the night OF
Feb. Is. If we find that they have es-
capped from the island, and have gone
back to Spain, we will follow them
there, and we will tell Spain that the
war shall not stop until they are de-
liyered up to US for punishment.
A cabinet officer may or may not have
said that, but it has the right ring to
it, and it echoes perfectly the senti-
ments of the American people.
The destruction Of the Maine is
unique in history, and the destruction
OF her wreck in one way closes forever
this most remarkable and sad incident.
Those who persisted on the devoted
battleship will ever be held in sacred
remembrance by the American people,
and their names will be linked with
those of the heroes of Lexington and
Bunker Hill.

NAVAL VICTORIES.

If there is anything of which the
American people are just a little
prouder than anything else, it is the
american navy and its record. And
how Justly proud of it they arei There
may be more intensely interesting
books in this world than Cooper's His
tory of the American Navy, but we
have never seen. one, and never expect
to; no better book can be placed in
the hands of an American boy.
The exploits of our navy began in
revolutionary times, when American
sailors gave evidence. of the stuff that
was in them, and their possibilities. 1t
was during this period that John Paul
jones, in the old Providence, struck
terror into the hearts of British mer-
chants, and captured so many of their
ships. 1t was in September, 1779, that
he defeated the British ship Scraps
with the Bonhomme Richard.
In,the war with Tripoli and Morocco,
in 1904. the American navy made it
self world famous. 1t cleared the Med
iterranean of the Barbary pirates, those
pirates to whom Europe had been pay
ing tribute for many years. The credit
for this work OF civilization is due to
Decatur and Preble.
Brilliant as has been the record Of
the American navy, the period of the
war of 1912 is always referred to with
mere pride and citation than any other.
The first victory in this war came in
August. 1872, when the Constitution,
under Commodore Isaac Hull, captured
the Guerrero. In September the fri
gate United States captured the Mace
donia. off Madeira, the loss of the Brit
ish being 104, and that of the Ameri-
cans IL In November the Constitution
captured the Java, off Brazil; and In
February, 1913, the American sloop
Hornet captured the Peacock. Not long
after this came the defeat of Lawrence
in the Chesapeake. The Chesapeake
was defeated by the Shannon. 1t was
in this engagement that Lawrence was
MORALLY wounded, and in which he ut
tered, as he was carried below, the IA
nous words. Don't give up the shipl"
This was on June 1. On Sept. TO- 1913,
Oliver Hazard Perry achieved his ia
nous victory OF Lake Erie, in which he
announced his victory in the famous
words: I'VE have met the enemy, and
they are ours
The first naval battle in 1915 brought
defeat to the Americans, the President,
under Decatur, being captured by a
British fleet, just out of New York
about a month later the Constitution
captured the frigate Cyane and the
brig Levant. Three days later, the
Hornet, Captain Nicholas Biddle, cap
tured the Penguin. off the coast of
Brazil. This was the last naval battle
of the war of 1912, and the last Ameri-
can naval battle with any foreign foe.
The naval engagements of the civil war
were between Americans, and to Ameri-
cans the credit for bravery and skill
on both sides belongs.
And now comes the news from the
far-off Philippines of an American
naval victory as brilliant as any in the
record. Just and warranted is the
pride of the American people in the
American navy.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-05-03
STATUS OF SPANISH SUBJECTS.

The president has in course of prep
aration a proclamation, which viii be
issued within a day or two, fixing the
status of Spanish subjects in this
country. 1t is said the proclamation
will make it known that they are under
suspicion, and it is believed it will an
nounce that stringent measures will be
taken to prevent their hindering a
speedy and successful conduct of the
war against Spain.
This is the right thing to do. Last
week Spain ordered the departure from
that country of all Americans. AL
ready two powder mills have been
blown up in this country, and the war
department officials have grave sus-
picions that they were not blown up
by accident A Washington staff cor
respondent of a Chicago paper, whose
information is usually of very re-
liable character says there probably
Will be several arrests for treason as a
result of the examination Of the de-
tanned Spanish mail now in the dead
letter office. The contents of this mail
are very important, so important that
by the presidents orders, the postmas-
ter general has cabled to Europe to
stop and return other mails for Spain
which were sent by recent steamers,
and even more valuable information is
expected to be gained from that. One
arrest has already been made in New
orleans OF Spaniard who attempted

scriptions of the defenses of the lower
Mississippi, and charts showing the To-
cation of torpedoes, mines, and other
submarine works. 1t is stated that the
information contained in his commune
cation was generally incorrect, and
would have nisled a Spanish fleet if an
attempt had been made to follow it,
but that does not mitigate the crime,
and the man will be seriously punished
A letter written in Engl.ch by woman
in Santa Cruz, Cal, TO Prime Minister
Sagasta contained detailed information
regarding the harbor defenses of San
Francisco and other cities on the Pa
cific coast of such technical character
that it seems impossible she should be
acting on her own impulse. 1t is be-
lieved that she is the agent and tool
of certain Spanish residents in Califor-
ria, who have recently come to this
country from Mexico, but they have
been here lorg enough to inform them
selves thoroughly as to the defenseless
condition of the Pacific coast.
In view of these facts, it is quite
time that Spanish subjects. in the Unit
ed States had their status fixed for
them. and that a rather strict watch
be kept over them, especially in those
places where there are Notifications
and harbor defenses. 1t is time of
war, and war measures must be taken.
The government owes it to itself to be
suspicious of all Spaniards in the coun-
try, and to treat them accordingly.
