AN EXAMINATION OF RECORD S

Soon after the Spanish war ended,
Captain James Parker wrote an elab-
crate review of he campaign and gave
great and desired credit to then Com
modore Schley. He began with the
Verde stands on 2Sth of April 1898. He
considered the campaign chronolog:cally
and cited official reports of officers for
each historical reference. 1t is very
cleverly done and now three years old
since written, it is fair, thorough and
conclusive. He showed when Schley
formed his plan Of campaign
and summoned the commanding officers
of the fleet to repair to the flagship:
Commodore Schley explained to COM
handing officers that in case the Span
ish ships came out he wished to con-
centrate the batteries of all our ships
on a portion of those of the enemy.
During the time the commanding Off
Ger was on board the flagship Captain
Evans asked Commodore Schley if it
was his intention to steam at the enc
my's ships in case they should come
out. Commodore Schley answered,
Certainly" and added words indica-
tive of his intentions to attack them as
they came out of the narrow defile.'
Here. then, on the very day, and with
ing two hours from the moment that
the Spanish fleet was seen at Santiago
by any of our vessels, Commodore
Schley laid out the identical plan of
battle afterward pursued when they
| did come out, and which resulted in
their prompt destruction"
It was Schley who devined Cevera's
intention and prepared first. He was
left by Sampson in command of the
| fleet. Captain Parker claims that the
signal given by Sampson before leav-
ing on the New York-'Disregard move
ments of commander-in-chief q
tionably left Commodore Schley the
senior officer of that fleet, and gave him
authority over the whole of it which
remained off Santiago, and clothed him
with responsibility for it's movements"
The more one reads of Schley and
his gallant, brilliant services, and his
more the surprise is that a conspiracy
against him by men wearing naval uni
forms should have been possible. 1t is
a great and most Ubiquitous horror-a
sin against manhood. ruth, honor and
country.

Some newspapers seem to be troubled
because of the difficulty, as they think.
of discovering what is democracy and
democratic principles. They may be
sure hat these are not republican in
fact or in detail. Fine what is true
republicanism and the opposite OF it
will be democracy or democratic
principles. Leastwise that will impress
many as being true . Scratch a demo-
cratic kicker, or coquette and behold
him hob-nobbing with republican BUSH

British would have been compelled to
surrender to the Beers and there would
have been a great rising of the enemies
in South Africa. Mr.. John Dillon, the
able Irish member strongly opposed the
vote. He protested against mentioning
the name of Lord Roberts in association
with such a man as Marlborough. He
declared Lord Roberts had shown the
greatest inhumanity in South Africa,
and said he had employed barbarous
methods and had proved himself a dis
NAL failure. Mr.. L.. LaBouchere, Radi-
cal, protested against granting gratui-
ties to military men while nothing was
given to civilians who were doing some
thing for the benefit of their country.
Keir-Hardie, Socialist and Independent

experts at home and abroad, Mr.. Rob-

for the continuance OF the war. Mr..

he considered Lord Roberts operation

cruelty and a minimum of humanity,

From the Philadelphia Press.
Any careful observer must have
noted how much more popular recre-
alton of late has become among the
American people. The Saturday half
holiday is more general and vaca-
tons are longer and more INDUCED
in by all classes And in addition to
these. excursions and days or are
more frequent and popular than form
erly.
Some one handy at figures" has
estimated that l0.00o.000 in the United
States will take a vacation this sum
mer and that on an average each one
will spend $40. This would make a
total of 100000, 900 spent for rest and
recreation. II is probable that the
figures are too small Leaving out
the rich and leisure class TO whom
time and money are no object, at least
one in each seven of all the people in
this country will enjoy a vacation
this summer extending from five to
thirty days. This would mean a rest
for about 12,000,000 people and if they
spend only $12 each about $3.50. 000.-
600 will be used in gaining rest and
recreation.

 He Met His Death.
FATHER STRUCK MOTHER
.AAAA

Decatur, November 29 - Especially - News reached here today that Wilson Atkins, farmer of Cullman county, was killed yesterday by his son Judson, l6 years old.
 Atkins, it IS said, was abusing and striking his wife when the boy remon- strated with his father. The old man turned upon the boy, it is alleged, fierce ly threatening him with death and brand ishing a big chop-axe. Judson is said to have grappled with his father. disarmed him of the axe, and as the father was in the act of shooting him with fowling piece, cleft the old mans skull. The boy then left and his whereabouts is unknown.
 Old man Atkins had been four times married, his last wife and mother of the boy being much younger than himself.
