A Lesson to Young Naval Officers.
j. l.. Stickney, in Harper's.

1t has been said that Commodore Dewey
sought to obtain the command of the Ash
attic station because he foresaw the oppor-
tunity that was to come to him. In one
sense this is true. Dewey has always been
q man of action, a natural fighter. That he
went gladly to the East Indies command,
when at least two other flag officers could
have had it if they had wanted it, and that
he preferred taking service afloat to any
kind of comfortable duty on shore, is true;
but it was the seaman's instinct that led
him, rather than any prophetic power.
There were several questions of grave inn
portance likely to come before the country,
and Commodore Dewey knew that the man
in command at sea is the man who is in a
position to make opportunities for himself
WI lie the men who cling to easy billets
ashore must-when war clouds threaten
stand around and wait for chances to come
to them. 1t was no mere chance that put
George Dewey in command in the East; 1t
was the logical working out of the princi-
pies of a lifetime. The men who had always
had sufficient influence to keep them in time
OF peace in easy places in New York and
Washington, while others did the hard work
of the service at sea, discovered that all
their influence could not give them the
places of danger and of honor in time of
war. 1t was a good lesson for the navy,
and it should be remembered by every
young officer.

Once Next Week.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, jan PA letter was re-
ceived to-day by friend of Walter K. Ian
dis, who is in San Juan, Porto Rico, which
states that he had just received a cablegram
from Washington ordering that he be placed
in charge of the Office at San Juan, and
this, he says, means that your humble
servant will become the postmaster at San
Juan on the first day of February" This
means promotion and it is safe to say that
the preferment of Mr.. Lands is much pleas
ure to his many friends in Indiana. Mr..
Lands was appointed to a clerkship in
the postal department in Porto Rico only
about four months ago. He resided here at
the time, being interested in the Daily
Chronicle. He is a brother of Congressman
Charles Lands. and was for a long time
state correspondent for the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette, with headquarters at In
danapolis. He is we'll known all over the
State and was quite active in politics He is
naturally in a cheerful mood when he writes
of this, and he invites the friend to come
down and grow up with the country. The
postoffice at that city is by no means a
small thing. At the outset Mr.. Lands will
have twenty men in his employ. and there
is every reason to believe that the business
at that place will grow rapidly.
