60 HE much discussed loop of the
BrOoklyE at the battle of Santia-
go was Il minor matter compared
with the loops and evolutions of war
ships propelled by sails in the days
prior to steam navigation. The drawing
given herewith is copied by the Toledo
Blade from the United States Military
odical published for a few years in
Philadelphia. Mr.. George A. Chase. of
Toledo, has the bound volume for 1899
and 1910 which he kindly loaned for
the purposes of this article.
The diagram is of the action between
the United States frigate Constitution.
Commodore Bainbridge, and the Brit
ish frgate Java, Capt. Lambert. This
fierce sea fight occurred on Wednesday.
December 30, 1912, in the Atlantic, off
the coast of Brazil. The wind was
from the northeast. and the arrow in
the diagram shows its direction as to
the vessels. The action began at
2:lO p. m. The position of the two
frigates was brOadside on, as repre-
sente1 in the lower left-hand corner Of
the diagram. The course of each YES
sci is shown and their relative posi-
tons at the various critical points of
the engagement, until the surrender of
the Java. at 3 % p. m, when their po-
sitions were as given at the right-hand
top of the diagram. OF course. in the
various evOlutiOns. the wind was the
only motive power.
This being the case, the efforts of the
old-tme fighters were largely directed
to destroying the masts and sails of
the enemy vessel-which. if the effort
were successful. put her at the mercy
Of the other-and to getting into such

side could BE- trained on the enemy's

way. The diagram shows that Balm

Those counties of the state which
did not accept the offer of the tax de-
partments of the railroads, which had
lines of rails through their domain.
propose to put up bitter fight to Sc
cure that which they deem the rail
roads owe them. We believed at the
time that the amount offered by the
roads in settlement of their taxes in
this county was the right thing to
accept, considering the legal opinions
which had been passed by unbiased
persons upon the right of counties to
the railroads can be made to pay the
same as an individual is compelled to
pay, we hope that they will be made
demands of them. Because we advo-
Gated the acceptance of what the
county received does not argue that
we believe that the railroads were
right. They should be made to hold
the same relation to the government
of every county, as does the individ-
ual and should be given no more fav
ors than the individual.

for this traffic The law Of the land
says so, and the law should be obeyed.
Mayor Thompson and Chief Of Police
Paul are not greater than the stat
utes- Neither is their newspaper apollo
Eist.
It makes no difference what political
party happens to control a government
under which lawbreaking is carried on.
The Herald is an Independent Demo
cratic newspaper If the Democrats
had broken faith with the people as
shamelessly as the Republicans, If they
had permitted the gamblers and the
saloonkeepers to throw law and order
and deceucy to the winds, The Herald
would be found where it is today. de-
nouncing crime wherever it might be.
And it would deserve no special credit
for its attitude.
Every newspaper is. in a sense, an
officer Of the law. 1t is the duty Of
every newspaper to see that just and
proper laws are enforced. No honest
man is injured by observance of the
law; no honest city is hurt by rigid
enforcement of every statute. The
Herald derives no pleasure from point
ing out how far this administration
has strayed from the path of recti-
tude- 1t would far rather praise than
blame, but whenever the path of duty
is as clear to The Herald as its pres
ent path seems, II viii travel that road
though all the execrable lawbreakers
and organs thereof in the world yelp
at it's heels.

GROVER oLEvELAEO's sPEEcH

GROVER CLEVELAND, twice presi-
u dent Of the United States, the only
successful leader the Democratic party
has had in fifty years, save the lament
ed Tnden. has come out of the classic
shade Of Princeton long enough to give
his views on party politics and party
opportunities 90 an interested people, It
would be idle to say that Mr.. Cleve-
lands message is not entitled to earn
est. thoughtful consideration. That he
is a big man and brainy man. a deep,
powerful thinker. a prompt and sure
dOer, no one with even a passing ac-
quaintanee with public affairs viii
deny.
The former president drifted far from
the majority Of the party that had hon
ored him. His influence, tacitly, if not
openly. was turned TO the enemy, and
for this he has been severely but justly
criticised. Now he wants to come back
into the fold: not. as he himself says,
as a leader. but as alfollower. MY
days of political activity are past" he
said 20 the Democrats Of New York,
"and I shall not hereafter presume TO
participate in party counsels. 1 am
absolutely content with retirement: but
I still have one burning, anxious politi-
cal aspiration.
II want 10 see before I die the res
toration to perfect health and suprem-
acy Of that Democracy whose mission
it is TO bless the people" Fair words
are these. and i'm their speaking it
would be well for Democrats who have
never faltered I'm their devotion to their
party 10 forget. or rather to forgive,
the Cleveland past Mr.. Cleveland
spoke wisely when he said, as though
ne expected a storm OF criticism, that
the rehabilitation of the Democratic
party cannoe be advanced by members
calling one another names or by in
augurating a system of arbitrary pro-
scription and Punishment.
Report has it that the presidential bee
is again buzzing in the ex-presidents
bonnet Whether that is true or not,
it Is not at all likely that he viii be
again chosen to lead. The next ma
tional Democratic convention must
choose a standard bearer who is not
so prominently identified with any
clique that the man cannot be sepa-
rated from the faction. There are
issues in plenty, issues on which the
Democratic party, united, can win a
great victory.
David B. Hill enumerated some of
them In his talk Thursday night. Dem
ocratic state conventions have incor-
porated many in their platforms. The
get together" idea is gaining ground
rapidly. II should easily be possible
to construct a platform broad enough
for every Democrat 30 stand on and to
feel az home on. Objection may be Of
fered 20 celebrating the return of the
prodigals by offering them all the good
things al the disposal Of the party, but
no objection can reasonably be Of
fered to giving them a warm welcome
and the right band of fellowship.
Get together.

Justice Marean of the supreme court,
Second district, is a tan man with ten
der heart. Not long ago he caught an
imposter just as the fellow was perform
ing the last act of a swindhng trick on
him. The Brooklyn judges tell the story
as follows;
One day a shabby and loquacious in
diVidual walked into the office of Judge
Marean and said:
Judge, I'm In hard luck I want a
couple of dollars TO get Turkish bath,
a meal and a shave. and then i'll be In
decent condition TO visit my friends"
The money was handed over at once,
with the courtesy that distinguishes the
judge in his dealings with his fellow
men. Then il occurred to the judge
that perhaps he had been a bit hasty in
giving the visitor money. He looked out
of the window and saw the man heading
for Court street. Grabbing his hat, he
followed him straight into a saloon and
heard the fellow say with wave Of the
hand:
Come on. men; drink with me.
Down went the twO-dollar bill on the
counter. Forward surged eight or ten
lOungeTs. Just as the HOBBS words Of
invitation were getting cold long arm

SENATOR FRYE AND AGAss1z.

Senator William p. Frye, author of the
ship subsidy bill. is an ardent lover OF
the sport Of fishing. On one occasion,
says the Saturday Evening Post CPhila-
delphia). after his return from his sum
mer outing 10 the PenObscOt woods Of
Maine. he met the celebrated naturalist,
Agsssiz, 10 whom he described his expe-
riences.
Among the triumphs,r said he. was
the capture Of a speckled trout that
weighed fully eight pounds"
DR.. Agassiz smiled and said: Reserve
that for the credulous and convivial cir
cles Of rod and reel celebrants, but spare
the feelings of sober scientist
This is not a campaign whopper I'm
telling; I weighed that trout carefully,
and il was an eight-pOunder"
My dear Mr. Frye" demonstrated DIT.
Agassiz, permit me TO inform you that
the salvalinus fOntinalis never attains
that extraordinary weight. The creature
you caught could not have been a
speckled trout. All the authorities on
ichthyology would disprOve your claim.
"All I can say to that" replied Senator
Frye. lis that there are, then, bigger fish
in Maine than are dreamed of in Your
noble science" AS they parted. Mr.
Frye added, merrily: IF you will estab-
lish a summer school somewhere under
the shadow of Mount katahdin, III
wager that it viii not be long before YOU
will have occasion TO alter your text
books"
The next season found the statesman
at his usual avOcatiOn in the Maine
woods. One day he caught a speCkled
trout that weighed nine pounds. He
packed il in ice and sentit to DR.. Agassiz.
A few days later he tramped TO the
station where he received his mail and
kilograms one of the latter was an
epigrammatlc message from the great
scientist. which Senator Frye Cherishes
10 this day. IL reads.
The science of a lifetime kicked to
death by a fact. AGASSIZ."
