A Scrap of History.

\ street corner discussion, yester-
day, concerning the origin Of the
term Goldfish Aristocracy," failed to
elicit any information on the subject.
Now the truth about this oft-repeat-
ed expression is simply as follows q:
Long before the coming of the pill
grims in the Mayilower, this byword
was tossed from mouth to mouth
among the early colonists of Massa-
chusetts Bay and the surrounding dis
tricts. The hardy settlers had dis
covered that there was money in the
cod-f3hery industry, and at length
they came 50 near monopolizing the
business that the Plymouth Com
pany," wealthy English syndicate,
began to fear that their own interests
would be endangered. Finally, as one
historian puts it, " Fishing fleets came
more and more to New England, un.
til the Plymouth Company, which
claimed the country, and appealed to
the King (Charles) to forbid fishing
without their permission.
but the busy fishermen said the
sea was free, and one might as we'll
try to keep them from breathing air,
or drinking water, as from taking
draughts OF fish from the boundless
waters of the New England bays.
Many fishermen became merchants
and were getting so rich that they
threatened to create a Goldfish aris-
tocracy,' which as the gentry Of the
Plymouth Company declared, would
soon undermine the very foundations
of their polite society"
So here is the gist of the whole mat
ter. The gold laced Johnny Bulls
were fearful that these poor but indus
trious people would eventually grow
into Goldfish aristocracy," as they
contemptuously expressed it, until
they proved serious detriment to
their own inherited and titled renown
To this day, in Boston, Goldfish
aristocracy" is a cant term for that
class of well-to-do people who have
come into their wealth by honest in
dustry, rather than by rich inheri-
lance.

Vindication at Last.

The action OF Rear Admiral Schley
in meeting and combating the malig
nant slurs and inuendos of the bigoted
partisans who have bounded him evel
since his grand achievement in de.
stroying the Spanish navy at Santiago
which has eliminated in charges oil
cowardice and incompetency in Mac.
leay's History Of the U. S. Navy, the
third volume of which has just been
published, will be heartily applauded
by all true patriots, impartial critics
and advocates of justice and fair play
everywhere.
The Admiral has asked Secretary
Long to appoint a commission to in.
quire into the charges of the rash his.
torian, who, in the face of facts still
fresh in the memory OF the American
people, seeks to besn,irch the reputa-
ton of gallant soldier, simply to en-
able another, of more patrician blood
to wrest from him the laurels of vic.
tory.
Secretary Long has decided upon
appointment Of the commission, and
will probably select Admiral Dewey
and Rear Admirals Kimberley and Ben
ham to constitute the board. The Of
tense OF Historian Macleay is so fla.
grant, so malevolent, and so entirely
unsupported by facts, that Admiral
Schlcy has announced his intention of
carrying the contention from the
board, where it can have but one re-
suit, into the civil courts on charge
criminal libel.
With popular sentiment wrought to
the pitch it has been by such denun-
ciatory terms as "catiff," coward"
"cur" and traitor" applied to the
man who directed the guns at San.
tiago, neither Secretary Long, nor any
board he may appoint, will feel in
clined to palliate or excuse the gross
attack of a bigot who perverts the facts
or dims the luster of one of the most
glorious achievements of history.

AN unique question arose in San

man for license to re-marry his form.
er wife only twenty days after the de-
cree had been granted. As both par
ties to q divorce are debarred from re.
marriage for six months after the de.
cree is entered, the query arose should
a license issue under such circum.
stances. AS the object of the restraint
is to allow the contrasting party an ap-
peal, it looks as if that right was eff.
fectually waived by consent, but that
may not be sufficient to overcome the
legal technically under a strict con.
struction. The clerk granted the per.
init, however, and the parties began
life anew under assurances of renewed
devotion.

reducing the unionist majority TO 22S.

are not extracting sunbeams from Gu

contest proves that every seat Will be
worth fighting for the next general cleo

party will naturally set In when the
Boer war Is brought TO an end and the
country Is not forced to vote while SOL

away their chances by factional war
fare. but they can hardly fail to gain
seats and to reduce unionist majorties
when the full pressure OF increased war
