There Is No Excuse.

A modest hero was overlooked in
New York last Friday, but he was dis
covered on Saturday, and then the
crowd showed their appreciation of
the man who az Santiago did what
Dewey did at Manila. 1t is useless to
speculate over the causes for the over
sight of Rear Admiral Schley on Fri
day. He was in New York, in the
dress of a civilian, viewing from the
housetops a naval parade in which he
might well have been a conspicuous
ACTOR. That Schley, the man who was
so active in bringing the war to such a
happy end, was overlooked in New
York while honor was being paid to
his colleague in the glorious campaign
w45 probably not the result of any de-
sign. But that is no excuse There is
no excuse that he should have been an
unknown spectator on the roof of
hotel when his services to the country
entitled him to a victorious reception
almost as those of Dewey.
But whatever the oversight on Fri
day, the people made up for it in en-
thusiasm on Saturday when he was
brought into prominence. His coun-
trymen recognize tn, work that
Schley accomplished, and, with his
countrymen as the source of all au-
thorlty, Rear Admiral Schley will find
that he is not forgotten by the Nation,
even though overlooked by New York
With the exception of McNair and
Howell, Scnley is the ranking Admiral
of the United States navy. They and
Dewey alone are his superiors. Yet
Schley came to New York as a citizen.
Either by his rank or by his services
he was entitled to a first place in the
recognition Of the multitude, and he
received that the minute his identity
when the people found him out, there
was no mistaking the rank he holds in
the popular heart. Next to Dewey
Schley carried off the honors in the
New York reception, and he deserved
all the wild enthusiasm that his pres
ence provoked. Schley may be over
looked in New York for time, but he
cannot be overlooked in the United
States, and whether the neglect of Fri
day was intentional or careless makes
no difference. There is no excuse for
either 1t was a stupid piece of busi-
ness, the best that can be said of ii,
and the enthusiasm of Saturday shows
how the people feel about lt-Pitts-
burg Times.

JUDGE S. H. BRIGHT, OF HOOKING.

c1riS 'this term en- the bench he has
never held public Office (other than
member of the School board, which
place he new holds) except that in
1884, when Gen. S. II. Hurst, of Chilli
cothe, was appointed revenue coIec-
tor by President Grant, he, Hurst, ap-
pointed Bright his deputy for Hooking
county, and his territory was after
ward extended include the counties
of Fairfield and Perry. Our candidate
has always taken an active part in pol
committees and as delegate to conven-
lions. In lyl6 he and the late Homer
C. Jones, of Macarthur, were the dele
gates from the congressional district
of which Hooking was then a part, to
the national Republican convention
which nominated General r. B. Hayes,
He is a pleasant and forceful speak
er. Since the war he has taken part
in nearly every campaign and has the
.abil.,y of putting his points well and
holding his audience. He has good
use of words and they come Ito him
readily. At times, especially when in
earnest and warmed up to his subject,
he becomes eloquent. He is a ready
debater and quick at repartee. He has
for many years been favorite at
memorial gatherings and soldiers re
unions, and has made some splendid
addresses. He will be the peer of any
senator in the next General Assembly
when it comes to advocating the pass
age or defeat of a bill.
Judge Bright has the confidence of
men of all parties, where he is best
known. He is well equipped by age,
education and experience, TO take a
prOmlnert place ip, the State senate.

Dewey Days in History.

1t interesting to study little the
great historical "triumphs" on which
in many respects THAT which we are
preparing for Admiral Dewey is mod
elled. In one of its meanings "trl-
umph" is the celebration of a COM
mander's return from victorious for
eign war; the Romans gave no tri-
umph to generals successful only in
evil war or in subject rebellions.
Caesars great triumph came TO him
in 46 B. c., upon his return to Rome
after setting Cleopatra on the throne
in Egypt-to keep her out of other
mischief-and was a gorgeous affair
along Romes Fi1lh avenue the Sacred
Way, of which the pavement has
W. hin a few years been unearthed
There were many features in it which
will be part of the Dewey Day doings
too! Rome was en- fete, the streets
gay with garlands. The procession
was headed by the Magistrates and
Senate, who were followed by trump
eters. There We're representations of
battles and of the towns, rivers and
mountains of the conquered countries,
models of fortresses, etc"
We will come pretty near matching
all that. but there are other features:
4Next came the victims destined for
sacrifice, especially white oxen with
gilded .-orns. They were followed by
the prisoners who had not been sold
for slaves, but kept to grace the trl-
umph" by being put to death when the
procession reached the Capitol!
AS Nelson died in the hour of his
greatest victory, he did not, therefore
enjoy the popular triumph which
would surely have been his had he lly-
ed to return to England after TrafaI-
gar. Yet his reception by his country
men after even his unsuccessful search
for the allied Meet of the enemy show
ed a degree and kind love like that
which Americans feel today for Dewey
MaLan, speaking of Nelson's last re-
turn, which was only month before
Trafalgar, says; IF any doubt of the
approval of his countrymen mingled
with the distress Nelson unquestionab-
ly felt at having missed the enemy he
was touchingly undeceived. As soon
as the victor Chis ship then and at
Trafalgar) and his flag were made out
the people flocked TO Portsmouth, .
and upon landing he was greeted with
loud and long-continued cheering
Lord Nelson arrived few days ago,
wrote Radstock. He was received in
town almost as a conquerer and he
was followed around by the people
with huzzas.
An historian of the time WROTE.
1T is really quite affecting to see the
wonder and admiration and love and
respect of the whole world the
moment he Is seen. II Is beyond any
thing represented in play or in a
poem of fame"
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-10-03

And again at Portsmouth, on his
departure ON tie cruise which was to
give him undying fame, "the multitude
pressed forward to obtain sight of
his face" Southey wrote: Many
were in tears, and many knelt down
before him and blessed him as he pass
ed" Nelson himself said then: 81
had their huzzas before; now | have
their hearts.
Wellington returned after Waterloo,
when John Bull was suffering acute
twlnges of mental gout in contempla-
tion Of enormous loss of trade and a
debt of a billion dollars Napoleon had
cost England, so the final victor of Ma
po!eon did not receive much in the
way of a triumph" at uhnt time
In the limited sense of the word as
used hero Napoleon had but one
triumph that when he retnrned to
Paris after his 1897 successes in Iaaly,
when he was greeted with enormous
enthusiasm and was also the
hero at formal or official festivals re-
sembling in aspect and pomp uhe mag
ni6cence of the imperial triumphs at
Rome But in another sense his
greatest triumph wa on his return
from Elba:
Returning to Thy cherished shore,
To reign till Zine shall be no more;
When every ship and fort unfurled
Tie tricolor that won the world"

We think that Aurelius township
should establish a high school. The
township is SO small that all the ad-
vanced pupils of the five subdistricts
could easily attend and oard IA, home
The subdistricts could then have their
primary grades better instructed on
account of reducing the number of
classes. The advanced pupils could al
so have an opportunity of studying
higher branches. The exnense would be
very little more, perhaps a few dollars
for wages and apparatus in the high
school, pupils from ether townships
woulL flock in and their tuition fees
would lessen the above extra cost. OF
course the schccl house would have
to be finished. which ought to be done
anyhow. The house has been erected
10 years or more and the hall and stair
way have never been celled. The ex-
ira amount paid for fuel n the past 10
years would have llnished the build
ing if it had been saved for that pur-
pose. Let the people of The township

school and at some future time act up
on the same.

Queer Citizenhip.

In plain English the British demand
upon the South African republic seems
to be that the Uitlanders shall be al
lowed to vote without declaring their
allegiance to the Boer government and
without renouncing their allegiance to
their native countries. These Uitland-
ers are made up of men from perhaps
all the civilized nations. but the Eng
lish far outnumber all the C.hers and
the Beers combined. If Great Brltian's
demands, therefore, were acceIed to by
President Kruger and the Volksraad,
The effect would be to put the Trans
vaal government into the hands of
British subjects, with Great, Britlan
claiming suzerainty over the govern
ment 1t is not difficult to forecast
the outcome of such a situation. The
Boer government would be remodeled
on British lines, and the Boer would
be crowded to the rear.
The British demand for the fran
chlse is predicated on England's claim
to suzeralnty and is not made on the
rights of aliens as conceded in other
countries. President Kruger has offer
ed to Mr.. Chamberlain the fve-year
franchise provided Great Brltlan
would renounce the claim of suzer-
ainty. But this England would not do,
because If it Gld so its subjects would
have to become Boer subjects, re-
nouncing the allegiance 10 the queen.
