THE COMEDY AND TRAGEDY OF IT
Norfolk VirgiDian-Pilot.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
No incident of recent time has al
forded a finer subject for an exqui-
site, side-splitting, pit-moving and
gallery-lifting comic opera than the
personal rebuke of General Nelson A.
Miles by Lieutenant-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. If the late Playwright
Hoyt were alive, how he could shake
the diaphragms and corral the dollars
of the American people by his hand
ling of that theme! A brief, catchy
sketch of the incidents of Miles
career, from private soldier to General
of the army, to get the manner of the
man rightly before the audience. A
like sketch of the incidents of Roose-
velt's life-particularly that grass
eating charge up San Juan heights
also to get the manner of man before
the crowd, and lastly the scene in the
White House. Unless we mistake the
American sense OF humor the Milk
White Flag for its laugh
upon exactly the same contrast,
would be deemed tame and insipid by
contrast. OF course, the ground
robin" incident would be the one ele-
ment of piquancy and hilarity. We
cordially commend the incident to
the attention of any play wright
whose talents are of the Hoyt order.
General Miles, of course, could
hardly be expected to see it in that
light. To him it was gratuitous
insult offered by man and under cir
cumstances that he could not resent.
Still, he should find some consolation
| in the fact that it has made him more
popular with the American people
than he ever was before, or than he
would probably ever have been other
| wise.
And that is tribute to American
love of fair play. Mr.. Roosevelt was
guilty of deliberately striking man
| whose hands were tied. And this he
| did because that man had, in accord
ance with entire propriety. exercised
the American citizens right of free
! day have to answer to the whole
American people. should he ever come
before them for their suffrages.
He has insolently, outrageously and
wantonly affronted brave and up
right officer-and in the noble cause
of the Crowninshield Cabal. And the
act will no more be forgotten or for
given than Roosevelt's gratuitous
recognition of social equality of the
races. For him the incident is likely
to have tragedy aplentv.

Celebrated Their Twentieth Birthday
FAYETTEVILLE Observer.

Fayetteville Observer.
Two excellent papers have recently
celebrated their twentieth birthday,
the Henderson GOLD LEAF and the
Gresnville Reflector. They are edited,
both. by able, earnest men, and de-
serve all the good which seems to
have come to them in such abundant
measure BY the way, we have often
been struck with the superiority Of
the average North Carolina country
newspaper to those published in COM
munitiss OF the same size outside the
State. They are better printed, better
edited and exhibit a more serious
tone, 1t seems to us-serious, in the
sense Of devoting themselves to the
real business of life and discarding
those flippant illusions which neither
convey Information 0he newspaper
business) nor point the moral that
adorns the tale.

OUR NEW ENGINES OF WAR.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
We are reminded by the launching
of the battleship Missouri last week
that we have several other immense
iron clads in process of construction.
Three classes of vessels are repre-
sented among our more recent battle
ships, viz: the Alabama class, the
Maine class and the Virginia class,
and they respectively represent the
evolution in shipbuilding which has
occurred during the past decade.
In the Alabama class there are five
vessels, as follows: The Kearsage,
the Kentucky, the Illinois. the Ala
bama and the Wisconsin, all of which
are now in commission and are doing
active service.
In the Maine class there are three
vessels, as follows: The Missouri. to
be completed March Is, 1908; the
Maine, to be completed October l,
1902; the Ohio, to be completed May
5, 1908. The vessels belonging to the
Maine class are much larger than
those belonging to the Alabama class,
but they are greatly inferior to those
belonging to the Virginia class.
In the Virginia class there will be,
according to provisions already made,
five immense iron clads, as follows:
The Georgia. the Nebraska, the Rhode
Island. the New Jersey and the Vir-
ginia. The first three were authorized
March 8, 1899, and the last two June
z, 1900.
The vessels of the Alabama class
have displacement of 11,525 tons,
those of the Maine class will have a
displacement of II, 800 tons, and those
of the Virginia class will have a dis
placement OF 1898 tons. But the
vessels of all three classes will be
much larger than either the Oregon
or the Iowa.
Whether the iron clads which will
be authorized hereafter will be much
larger than those for which provision
has already been made We cannot say,
but certainly there has been an sx-
traordinary evolution in the building
of battleships during the past decade.
Without going to anything like an
extreme, our experience in the Span
ish-American war has taught US that
money spent in the building of up-to-
date battleships is money we'll spent.

The contest between Dunphy and
