The Schely court Of inquiry have
rendered their verdict which will
not meet he approval of the people:
The court showed it's prejudice when
it found fourteen counts against him
and there were only ten specifca-
tons in the charge. However, they
did not find him guilty of cowrdice
thus Schley is not shorn of his honor.
The minority report of Admiral
Dewey is sustained by the people az
he was the only one of the court full
ly qualified to judge therefore adj
miral Schley can feel highly honored
by receiving such a report from the
hand of such a man as Dewey.
We fail to understand in what man
ner the republicans of Rock or Mobiles
county expect to gain anything by
talking of running Miller, of the
Rock County Herald, or Dan Shell,
for clerk of the Supreme court.
They are both good senators and as
such are in the natural line Of pro-
motion.
But by electing either one Of them
to the position of clerk, of the
supreme court they will be simply
retired from politics for the next
four years at least if not all times.
Times, Heron Lake.
May be that's what it is desired to
do, retire them. We have heard,
some of our good republicans
whose counsel has always been con-
sidered, say, they thought Dan had
had it long enough and could not
with very good grace ask for the
senatorship again.

to all. Tie made the influence OF his
steadfast and upright character felt
among us. We mourn his loss"

The silence of the North Carolina
newspapers as to the statement of the
late Major Neathery that the actual
strength Of the North Carolina troops
in the great wal was $4,000, would ap-
pear to indicate either hat they ON
slider the statement as true or hat the
matter was not of sufficient interest to
be considered. The Messenger doe not
regard it as a subject of indifference
It seems to it that $4,000 or 125, 900 troops
are so wide apart as to make it highly
important to settle the question def
nitely, and for all time. If there were
but so, 900 then a vast deal Of untimely,
useless blowing has been done by all
who have insisted upon the higher fig
ures-125,O 900 or 126, 900, and the Mes
senger has been a big sinner. 1t holds
with Governor Vance that there were
fully 1885, 900 troops sent u by North
Carolina. 1t has lately given at some
length it's reasons for maintaining this
view. A Virginia leading daily copied
