A Washington dispatch says the Navy
Department has refused to accede TO Ad-
miral Schley's suggestion that the Ian
guage in the fifth specification of the pre-
cept creating the court of inquiry be mod
fled. The specification is as follows:
Fifth-The circumstance attending the
reasons for disobedience by Commodore
Schley of the orders of the department,
contained in its dispatch dated May 70.
1885, and the propriety Of MS conduct in the
premiSes
The order related to coaling from golfers
in the open sea, and Admiral Schley thinks
the use of the word "disobedience' does
him injustice, because, owing to the rough
ness of the sea at the time, he was unable
to carry out the order. Nevertheless, as
a matter of fact. he did not obey it. The
contention that disobedience of an official
order necessarily implies willful or con-
temptuous disobedience does not seem to
be tenable. The department CONSTITUTES the
word literally as a failure TO carry out an
order, and puts the burden of explaining
such failure upon the admiral. AS the con-
temporary records show that the order was
not obeyed. the view OF the department
seems TO be correct.

The Socialists have been with us. dis
cussed their hobby and made a platform
and rules for the formation OF a party.
Five years ago they might have attracted
some attention. but on this occasion. when
the country is generally prosperous and
sound-minded. few paid the attention Of
curiosity. The more the vague theories of
the Socialists arc discussed by such men
a were here the fewer people will believe
them. Even if ali OF the wealth of the
country. farms. factories and railroads..
were in a common pool. the experiment
would not long survive. because the man
ayers would of necessity be autocratic.
while the masses who must toll would be-
come dissatisfied. As now constituted. the
human race is not adapted TO the paternal-
ism OF socialism.

The anxiety Of the Democratic city COM
mittee 10 force Mayor Tasgart to accept
a fourth nomination is attracting atten-
ton. The committee met and dispatched
a subcommittee of the ablest men in the
party 10 supplicate the mayor 10 run a
fourth time. Their cry was, Save us or
we perishi' That confession is not COM
plimentary to the prominent mel in the
Democratic party who would like TO be
mayor. since it is a confession that, in the
opinion of those who FRUSTRATED themselves
before the mayor, no other member of the
party holds so high a place in the estima-
ton Of the voters OF indianapolis that he
can be elected. They confessed that in all
these years no other Democrat has become
SO prominent and influential that he can
be elected mayor. They rely upon Mr..
Taggart because he has been able to secure
the votes of a considerable number of
Republicans and can poll a large colored
vote. The leaders who Frustrated them
selves before the mayor on Wednesday
night seem to imagine that he can 90 on
repeating the performance of 1895, 1897 and
1893 indefinitely. They seem not TO remem-
Der that he fell from about 1900 plurality
i'm 1857 TO about 300 in 1889, as indicative of
the growing disfavor of Mayor Taggart
with Republicans and others for whom he
has no use after the polls are closed.
They seem to forget that the mayor, with
his trick of a 59-cent tax levy, the large
increase of the nterest-bearing debt of
the city to meet current expenses and his
increasing inattention to municipal affairs
by his absence from the city. can possibly
have detached those Republicans who gave
him only 200 plurality two years ago.

MONEY IS PILED UP
IN RUSH OF COTTON,
Americas Is Filled With Cotton
Wagons.
SATURDAY a RECORD BREAKER.
Receipts of Cotton For One Day Al
most Equal That of Entire New
Crop PreviouslY-It Brings the
Money and Trade Is Good.

Americus advertised no Exposition
attraction" yesterday, but the crowded
streets, the piles of cotton, the olaf
terlng teams and general rush of bust
ness gave to the city the appearance
of hustling metropolis wherein the
dollars were piled high by the thrifty
people.
It was King Cotton's fete day, and
the old monarch was much in evil
dence in his favorite'city.
Not since the busy days of last sea-
son has Americas witnessed such q
day. All evidences of Summer dull.
ness" disappeared, and business was
again the watchword.
1t was expected that cotton receipts
would be good, and there was no dis
appointment upon this score From
Sumter and adjoining counties the
wagons came by scores and dozens,
while the railroads brought their full
quota from surrounding towns.
Yesterdays warehouse receipts pill
ed up just 448 bales,
This number, added to the total
previously received, gives Americus a
grand total of A. 13 bales of cotton of
the new crop.
The cotton was of good quality, and
the larger portion brought here was
sold at prevailing good prices and the
money turned into the channels of
trade. The merchants were ready for
this Opening day" and sales in all
lines make up an excellent record.
The fields are still white, and Ameri-
Gus is promised many more days of
profitable business ere the "King"
takes his departure.
Besides the warehouse receipts yes
terday, the congresses received sew
ersl large shipments from railway
points about Americas, which will
swell our seasons total.
And Just now Americus merchants
were never more hopeful of splendid
season of business. The summer
trade was good enough, but the fall
business, fanked by ''cotton money"
is the harvest season. And yesterday
witnessed an suspicious opening.
The Times Recorder trusts our bust
ness men may have many more days
equally as good.
