young and autocratic Russian contempo-
rary has discovered on his western hori-
ION the shadow of a great American
naval power the guns of whose victorious
warships have lately resounded around
the world, and he wishes to divert this
Republic from its high purpose of peace

shot on hand for emergencies. No.
thanks; we are building battleships down

POLITE EVEN IN DEATH.

We have all saluted and cheered the
great and victorious warships of the Am
erican navy, and it has done us all good.
But there lies over in the navy yard gal
liant little naval craft whose war career
teemed with historic interest and tragic
glory. 1t is the torpedo boat Winslow.
On May II this plucky little fighter, with
two small calibre rapid fire guns, put to
flight off Cardenas two Spanish gunboats
that took refuge under the shore batter
les. These opened on the Winslow at
500 yards with deadly effect, penetrating
the hull, engine room, boilers, signal box
and other vital parts, hitting the vessel
twenty six times and utterly disabling the
engines, steering apparatus, etc. The
range had been buoyed and triangulated,
and the Spanish aim was unerring.
The crew of the Winslow numbered
but eighteen, of whom four were killed
and four wounded. The first to fall, cut
almost in two, was Ensign Worth Bag
ley of North Carolina. whose memory
and heroism have since been perpetuated
at his home city of Raleigh. Ensign Bag
ley's death will hold unique interest in
the annals of the war. He was the first
man killed. and he was also the first, last
and only naval officer killed in action in
the great operations against Spain.
And the touching incident of Ensign
Bagley's death is now pathetically told
by Quartermaster McKeon, who wit
messed it. He relates: Ensign BagIey
was struck by cone Of exploded shell
and nearly cut in two. He fell with his
head, chest and arms outside the wire
rail. One Of the men lifted him up. He
said, Thank you, and died.

PITNEY FOR GOVERNOR.

Some of our contemporaries have an
nounced that Congressman Pitney is
making an active canvass for the Repub-
lican nomination for the Governorship.
This is not quite in accordance with
the facts. Mr.. Pitney has not announced
himself and is making no effort to secure
delegates. But he has influential friends
in every county in the State who recog-
nize his fitness and availability as a can
didate, his strength before the people and
his qualifications for creditably filling
the Executive chair.
These friends have been and are urg-
ing Mr.. Pitney to enter the race. His
supporters are not confined to any clique
or faction of the party nor to any section
of the State. Mr.. Pitney is strong with
the rank and file of the party, because he
is known to be an indomitabie leader
who never falters in the fight and who,
if elected, would serve the whole people
and maintain the credit and dignity of
the Republican party.
IT goes without saying, that unless Mr..
Pitney declares that he will not be can
didate he will have the unanimous sup
port of the delegates from the Fourth
Congressional District and many from
other parts of the state.
If he enters the race in earnest we pre-
dict that he will receive the nomination
and be elected Governor by rousing
majority.

DENIAL WILL NOT DO.

The Richmond defences were so devised
by the Confederate engineers as to COM
pei an investing army either to project its
lines into the niry White Oak swamp
or else leave open to the Southern troops
fatal road to the Federal rear. McClel-
Ian unavoidabIy occupied this position for
about one month, and Grant, two years
later, partially covered it for ten months.
1t was a very insignificant proportion of
the circle of invasion, and there is little
doubt that the mortality due to it among
our troops under Mcclellan was greatly
overstated, since on this point scarcely a
protest was heard while it was later oc-
cupied by the forces of Grant. a consid-
cradle part of the Confederate army also,
of course, had to confront both these
Federal commands in portions of this his
toric swamp, whose excess in the ele-
ments of disease was undoubtedly more
apparent by comparison than inherently
actual.
But the disclosed i'll conditions in the
White Oak swamp were at worst as moth
ing to those well known in advance to ex-
ist in the island of Cuba, and there can
hardly be an intelligent excuse for failure
to foresee and to provide against the in
evitable situation that would ensue on
assembling there an American army. On
the contrary, the experiences of our sol
diers in Cuba have been shocking to con-
template, but they have been even more
unspeakably horrible in the camps right
at home since the gallant and victorious
army returned from Cuba.
At a distance the intensity of those out
cries of neglect that reached the country
early in the campaign was tenaciously
resisted by official denial, and where it
happened to be proved that egregious in
capacity was prime cause recrimination
became common among men in authority.
But right at our doors the horribility of
the situation is now absolutely manifest,
and neither denial of the fact nor denial
of responsibility for it will either allevi-
ate the monstrous sufferings of the patri-
otto volunteers or relieve from accounta-
bility whatsoever may be shown to have
