to state briefly the exact questions
which will come before the court, but
that Admiral Schley condensed them In
a letter written to Senator Hale, chair
| man of the senate committee on naval
affairs, February 18, 1899. This letter
divided the criticisms of himself into
four heads, as follows:
First-The alleged delay off Cienfue-
gos, Cuba.
Second-The alleged slow progress to-
ward Santiago de Cuba from Cienfue-
gos.
Third-The retrograde movements on
the 26th and 9th of Nal. (This refers
to the turning of the fleet from Santia-
go toward Key WesD.
Fourth-The battle of Santiago and
the destruction of Cervera' S fleet.
1t is to be expected says the Post.
that Admiral Schley, in his letter to the
secretary requesting court of inquiry,
will specify these grounds of criticism
and that Secretary Long will in turn
repeat them in his orders assembling
the court.
1t is expected that as soon as Secre-
tary Long receives the request for
court of inquiry from Admiral Schley
he will name it's personnel and issue an
order for it's assembling. 1t may be
some time, however, before the court
can get squarely down to work.
host of naval officers will have to be
summoned as witnesses and these Off
GERS are now scattered over a wide
area.
A court of inquiry differs from a
court-martial in that it has no power
to influence. 1t is organized simply for
the purpose of Investigating questions
of fact, but it has ample authority to
make the inquiry complete and exhaus-
tive.
Recent congressional enactment con-
ferred upon these courts ample author
ity to compel witnesses to testify, in
Guiding civilians.

mad dog shot without medical at
tention. 1t is one and the same thing.
But lynching the brute after lie has
committed his crime and shooting the
mad dog after he has bitten dozen
others is neither prevention or cure.
There is, howeyer,a remedy which is
both-one that is being quietly dis
cussed by thinking people North as
well as South-a remedy that is APP
proved by students of sociology, by
scientists, by preachers and philan
thropists, and one that sooner or later
must be taken up by our rulers and
law makers, and that remedy is the
surgeons knife.
At the last session of the Georgia
legislature bill looking to this end
was introduced by Senator Il. h.
Hardaway, Of Newman.
The man who has the courage to adj
vocate the free use Of the surgeons
knife in cases of attempted assault and
cases where Identification is not certain
will do more towards settling the race
problem than all the theories. all the
colleges and all the millions of dollars
that have been layished upon the ne
gro by his well-meaningss friends of
the North.
The white man and the negro can
not be governed by the same rules.
What appeals to the white mans sense
ofdecency and morality, has no effect
whatever upon the negro. a different
code Of ethics. as well as law, is re-
quired to meet the present state Of af-
fairs in the South. Hence, the "grand-
father clause" in some of the disfran-
chisement acts recently passed.
Rudyard Kipling tells story Of
Frenchman living in Africa, who had a
tame, educated orang-otang, which he
called Bimi. Bimi was very useful;
loved his master and did his bidding,
Kipling describes him as having "blue
gums" and the sshalf OF mans soul IN
his belly, and he thought he was
man."
:. The story ends with tragedy. The
Ffenchman returned home one evening
and found his wife's door locked, He
searched and found the low matched
roof Of her room broken open-there
lay her clothing torn in shreds, strewn
over the blood-stainen floor, but the
woman gone. Her mutilated body, cold
in death, was afterwards found on the
onely sands, and Bimi was playing
with a wisp of long fair hair clothed
with blood. Then the Frencman be-
came a mailman and with his bare
hands tore Bimi limb from limb. Kip
ling was writing from Africa, but the
same thing happens in America every
day.
SHALL we let our Blmis roam at large
while we wait centuries for the slow
progress Of evolution, although assist
ed by education to do its work?
Shall we continue to look upon the
orgies Of burning at the
stake, which do more harm than good,
while a better remedy lies within our
reach?
These questions are left for the de
enders Of womankind 10 the South to
,onder.
