The Honorable Way.

The personal integrity of each Of the
three candidates for the Office of COVER
nor now before the people of Pennsyl-
vania-Colonel Stone, Or. Swallow and
Mr.. Jenks-is proof against successful
attack. Each is an honest man who If
put into the governors chair would do
his best to serve the people according
&c his view of the public welfare. There
should he no attempt to becloud this
truth. The coming campaign is not to
be a personal fight.
So far. then, as the matter of per-
sonal honor in the gubernatorial office
Is concerned the man who is a Re-
publican on questions of national prin-
ciple has no cause to prefer either
Swallow or jerks to the nominee of his
own party. If he feels that there have
been abuses in the party management
In this state, that some Republicans in
the last Legislature were crooked and
others misled, that good many things
at Harrisburg might be improved by
process of political renovation, let him
not make the mistake of attempting to
. set these matters right by means of an
aimless and indiscriminate kick, such
as invariably hurts more men who are
innocent than it Furnishes others who
are supposed TO be guilty.
Instead of that, let him spot the cul-
pitts individually when they come up
for denomination and beat them within
party lines. That is the one effective
and honorable way. No Republican
who hasstudied with care the history of
American politics needs to be told that
a gain has never yet come to the cause
of real reform by the casting OF Re-
publican votes for Democrats claiming

miles east of Sumter and in plain view
of all the forts. The iron vessels were
coated over with tallow, to make as
slippery work as possible for the en-
emy.
At 1 p. m., all things being ready,
the signal was given and away moved
the nine giants of war, the 1ronsides
being in the center of the line. At
$50, as they began to come slowly
into range of Sumtcrs guns, she
ran up the palmetto flag and let drive
a few stray shots. AS they came up
closer Moultrie opened, then Sumter
a broadside, the Cummings point bat
teries followed. and the battle had be-
gun. The scene now was grand be-
yond description. Broadside after
broadside was now poured upon the
fleet, the shots striking the water,
causing it to spout up like miniature
fountains all around the ironclads,
while the return shots from old IRON
sides and the monitors. sounding like
peal after peal OF thunder, and the
flashes from hundreds of guns visible
between the clouds Of smoke made an
exciting picture for us who were on
the reserve list.
FIRING CEASES.
AS we were watching with our glass
es we could see all the vessels as the
smoke would lift, and could see them
pouring shot after shot into the forts
and adjacent batteries. Thus the bat
tie ragged for two hours. and we were
wondering as to the result, when a lit
tie before 8 o'clock we noticed that
some of the monitors had gone past
the forts, had turned around and one
had started out of the channel. A
few moments more and the whole fleet
had started out, the firing from both
sides began to cease. and at $50 o'clock
on as line an afternoon as I ever en-
joyed our grand fleet was again in the
coast channel going down to take the
position which 1t had occupied the day
before.
What could it all mean? With not a
vessel lost, with not an unfavorable
incident to mar our success, why had
the fleet come out? How shall I de-
scribe the excitement on board our
vessels at this sight? There was not
a man, nor even boy, in our squadron
but felt ashamed of his country and
nuiiilldleu at SuCH cOWdTulCey LOT SuCn
1t seemed TO be.
We soon learned that the casualties
were these: The Keokuk had gotten too
close under Sumter's guns. had been
pierced through and was in a sinking
condition, in fact she did sink before
morning. The monitor Montauk had
received a shot between her turret and
the deck which prevented her turret
from turning around while the Iron
sides and other monitors were intact
with the exception of few scratches.
Thus seven of the fleet We're in a con-
dition to have kept on with the fight.
We soon learned that Sumter had a
hole in her walls large enough for a
team to drive through, showing that
she could have been easily reduced.

identified with the public affairs of

can population. every man." affirms
he, has the right to choose his COM
panions; and the fact that his neigh

on the point which Il touches there is
no longer In this country among in
telligent students of the Hawaiian
problem much uncertainty. The man
who brings against the ruling forces in
the present Hawaiian republic the
charge Of ignorance and bad character
simply proves his claim to the same
accusation.
An argument more TO the point could
be formulated out of the fact that if
every inhabitant of Hawaii were as
unprincipled as a Sioux Indian and as
dumb as a North Carolina mountaineer
the United States would yet need to
proceed with annexation, as a meas
ure of the utmost importance I'm its
own defence. Hawaii holds the key to
the commerce OF the North Pacific as
II does to the protection of our Pacific
seaboard in time of war; and therefore
only those Americans who think we
have no use for ocean commerce or
coast protection should make the
colossal mistake OF antagonizlng the
Mckinley war policy of immediate an
nexation.

The Vermont Republican convention
has sounded the proper keynote to Re-
publican policy in these words: I'VE are
opposed to the resurrender to Spanish
misrule of any territory which the valor
OF our army and navy has rescued or
may hereafter rescue from the hands of
the enemy,anj we have an abiding con-
fdence that Republican president and
congress will so shape the future OF
such territory as best to promote the
welfare of it's inhabitants and the true
glory of our country" This is the true
IMPERIALISM.

The Hazleton Sentinel does not see
how a coal road from Scranton to tide
water, owned and run by coal men and
charging fair tolls on hard COAL would
benefit Hazleton. Just Il in this way:
Scranton anthracite, quoted in New
York at so cents TO 81 below the pres
ent prices, would force the other roads
handling anthracite to meet this lower
quotation or cease to do business. To
meet 1t they would have to make a
correspondingly low freight rate.
Otherwise the Scranton road would be
tapped by branches. One independent
road will do the business.

THE GROWTH or ENGLISH.
From the St, Louis Republic.

If language necessarily denotes COM
mon race purpose and feeling the Eng
lish speaking people could today form an
alliance that would be stronger in num-
bers than that which could be formed
by the people using any other Christian
tongue, Less than two centuries ago this
statement could not have been made. Al
that time there were scarcely more than
7,OO00O0 people In the whole world who
spoke the English language. Statistics
show that at present this is the language
of not less than 125,000.00O people. other
languages, particularly those derived di-
rectly from the Latin, as those of Spain,
Italy, and France. were much more ex-
tensively spoken during the last century
than ours. But for some reason they
lacked the agencies OF growth necessary
TO extend the area OF their supremacy.
While there are l2S0O0,0O0 people at the
present time whose everyday language is
English, there are only $4,000, 900 who
speak Russian, only 75.OOo,00O who speak
German, only 550OO,0Oo who speak Span
ish, and only S5OOo,0OO who speak Italian.

GRAPHIC STORY OF
A FAMOUS ATTACK
Oh THIS SINGULAR
EPISODE IN THE WAR OF THE RE-
BELLIoN BY A sCRANToNIAN
WHO WAS ABOARD ONE OF THE
GUNBoATs AT THE TINE.

"A number of years ago Mr.. W. II.
Tripp, of this city, read before Metropol-
itan lodge, No. 227 knights OF Pythias.
of Philadelphia, paper describing the
famous attack of Union iron-clads upon
the forts and earthworks of Charleston
harbor. made April Z, 1863 Mr.. Trip
participated in that notable feature of
tho civil war. serving as payinaster's
clerk on board the United states steamer
Unadilla, the first gunboat built during
the war. While in the service he kept
diary and the paper was compiled from
this diary. Mr.. Tripp has kindly placed
at The Tribune's disposal a copy OF this
paper, which has especial interest at this
time. 1t is as follows:l
1t was good news to the blockading
fleet off Charleston in the Spring of
SO that Fort Sumter was to be at
tackled by the largest and most pow
erful iron-clad fleet the world had ever
seen. We had lain in Charleston bar
all winter with little to break the dull
monotony of a sailors life. Occasion
ally when we had all turned in for a
nights sleep, the alarm of blockade
runner" would be sounded, and all
hands had just three minutes to pre-
pare their toilet and be at their sta
tions. Sometimes some one or more of
our vessels would capture blockade
runner but generally it was false
alarm. Sometimes sail ho." would
be sung out from the cross trees, and
soon a transport would come to us
with letters from home. These were
glad times, and papers and letters
were eagerly read and the contents
gave food for many days discussion.
The winter of '62-3 was boisterous
enough in Charleston bar. and as the
water was only from twenty to twen-
ty-five feet deep many a time in a
heavy gale did we have to put out in
deeper water to keep from striking
bottom, and then keep our engines
running to keep from dragging an

dilla. always came off victorious in
every gale. She was the first one
built In the war, was completed in so
days, but was built to stand both
storm and war. She was, however,
long and narrow, and she could roll
| most beautifully even in moderate
gale, and when she got really started
it was astonishing how quickly one
could throw his dinner over to the
fish; in fact you would rather do ii
than keep it on hand. Some, of course.
did get used to her ways: others, how
ever. could not. l remember very we'll
which class I belonged to, as
we lay there. day after day.
Only three miles away, and in
plain sight, was Sumter, with
her rebel banner floating in the breeze,
tantalizing enough to make us feel
like pitching into her even with our
wooden gunboat. Our fleet of a dozen
vessels, however, was not altogether
idle, as many an English blockade run

Rheumatism, you must take the
