Schley and Sampson.
From the Cincinnati Tribune.

From the Cincinnati Tribune.
We do not propose to quote from the story
of the fight as given. 1t has been told, and
better told, by the newspaper men who were
there. Intelligent readers know that Schley
was present and in command They know
that a most magnificent feet, the pride of
Spain, was completely wiped off the sea, with
naught to tell the story but some battered and
shattered hulks, stranded and sunk near San
tiago. They know that Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn, was more times hit by proiectiles
from the enemy's guns than all the others to-
gether. That is the story in brief and about
all that is essential.
As far as Admiral Sampson is concerned,
he was not present, and history will so record
the fact, in spite of all the Investigating COM
mittees in existence, or to be appointed. He
may have planned the battle, and he may
have anticipated the course and the time and
the actions of Cervera's feet. For this he is
entitled to credit, and none will withhold it.
But he was not there when the engagement
was fought His claims are to be compared
with a commander who gives the order to a
subordinate to make charge against a strong
" fortified position. Is the man who makes
the charge and takes his life in his hands
to be robbed of his honors? Was the charge
at BaIaklava made by the heroic Cardigan or
by Lord Lucan, who gave the fatal order? Is
Pickett's glory at Gettysburg dimmed because
Lee or Longfellow gave the order or planned
the charge?
1t will not do. The masses know that
Schley was in command, and the glory of the
fight is, and will be, his, no matter about the
order of promotion, nor the reports of COM
mittees made for a specific purpose. He has
been generous and modest throughout all
the controversy from beginning to end. He
has borne himself as becomes man and a
gentleman His future is secure as far as the
verdict of history is concerned. He is the
hero of Santiago, and will be known as such
for all time to come

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Mr.. rippett on the Stump.

On Wednesday night, in Baltimore, a
large and enthusiastic rally was held at Har-
lem Hall, under the auspices Of the Eigh-
teenth Ward Democratic Association. John
Gourley presided, and addresses were made
by Congressional Candidate R. B. Tippett,
Ex- congressman J. Fred. C. Talbot, James
R. Brewer and others. Mr.. Tippett said, in
part:
81 am not a politician, but plain, out
snoken citizen, and one who has come up
from among the people. The gentleman who
is representing this district is gentleman,
but he has not represented us at all during
his term, although he has drawn $50, 900 from
the public Treasury. He has not presented
a bill before Congress or appeared before a
committee. and vet you are asked by his party
to return him. | promise to represent you,
if elected, and to do something for this city
promise to vote for Bailey or any other
good Democrat in preference to any Repub-
lican. (Applause.)
''As to my views ON the money question. |
have made them fully known to the people
of this district.
Through the public press have been
asked by the Republicans, IF elected, for
swer is now and at all times that will vote
for Democrat, and no power will ever make
me vote for Tom Reed, the Gar.
Hon. j. Fred. G. Talbot said, IN part:
"There is only one way TO elect Demo
cratic Congressman in this district and that
is for every Democrat-gold or silver-hned
to vote for him. Mr.. John K. Cowen is out
in an interview in an afternoon paper IN
which he says that he cannot see how any
goid-standard Democrat, if elected to Con-
gress, can avoid voting for Republican for
Speaker of the House. Well, John K. Cowen
was the only Democrat elected from this
State 10 Congress who never filed the office,
who never filed Ms seat or voted for anyone
or anything during his term. He drew his
salary, and that was all; and would like to
know, therefore, what he knows about the
duties of Congressman. Mr.. Iippett has a
right to his convictions. The party must get
together, and you must take the man, because
on every other question he agrees with you,
and will, therefore, represent you.

IHE COLONIAL,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. II, 1898

Gentlemen II must compliment you upon
the interesting account of Westminster and its
varied interests which appeared in the ADvo-
CATE last week.
1t was really so good that its scope ought
to be enlarged and extended so as to include
the whole county. Not enough has hitherto
been said and published in behalf of the many
natural advantages which Carroll county pos
esses. Let the light through the columns of
the ADVOCATE and other county papers be
turned on them, that outsiders may be en-
lightened and persuaded that it is goodly
heritage, and thereby be induced to settle
therein and become partakers ofthe prosperity
which its citizens enjoy. l have seen much OF
this great country of ours, and something OF
others, but | have yet to behold any region
more beautiful or which can offer greater in
ducements to the industrious settler.
Your paper called forth precious memories,
brought to mind many, very many, dear
friends, and, though temporarily absent, my
heart clings tenaciously to Carroll as my home,
and long for the day when can exclaim,
''Peace and rest at length have come,
All the days long toll is past;
And my heart is whispering Home,
Home at last.
Sincerely Your Friend,
WM. A. McKEILIP.

OF course the war was managed WELL Let
us not doubt the organs. 1t is true, however,
that there are six fine new ambulances in the
hold of the transport Port Victor, which have
made the voyage between New York and
Cuba and Porto Rico several times without
being unloaded, although they were sadly
needed and acquisitions we're made for them
over and over again. There was only one
ambulance at Santiago, and the sick and
wounded had to be transported in army

MERCHANDISING.

The onward march of apparently pro-
gressiye merchants, seems to tend rather
to exaggeration than to consistent truth in
their announcements. We are not in
sympathy with such methods, and as the
recognized leaders in fashions, styles, quail
ity and reasonable prices, we feel that our
reputation, not of yesterday, but of years,
must count
