not OF his own people only, but OF all
the world. The most precious porcelain
of human clay was lavished in tho
making Of this unique ruler, who
stands upon much higher level than
that of the common run OF mortala
or of kings, In virtue not only of the
dread responsibilities laid upon him by
the Most High. but also by reason OF
his own passionate love of humanity
and his selfless devotion to the true
and the good. In short, he is an
'Ubermensch" whose innate goodness
OF heart exceeds even his irresponsible
power
But no newspaper hero is a prophet
in his own country for long; and Nioh-
olas Ii did not play the part In Rus
STA for more than a twelvemonth. His
fathers reign had ended in utter moral
exhaustion, In the blasting Of hopes,
the killing OF enthusiasm, the black
ness of despair. Better things were
confidently expected OF the son, be-
cause worse were rashly held to be i'm
possible. But the credulous masses
were again mistaken, and soon became
conscious OF their error. All Europe

made United States senator, "in which
body he served almost continuously
until his death" Ny impression is
that he voluntarily retired from the
Senate near the close of one term of
service on account of i'll health, but
was reelected to the succeeding
term. Gen. Walthall was not only a
grand soldier. but he was an able
statesman and retained the love and
confidence OF the people of his adopted
state unimpaired during his entire life
tline. The late venerable Bish-
op Wilmer of Alabama was fun of
good humor, and many stories are told
ABOUT him on this account. One Is that

one DAY when the fate of the Confeder-

ever, after being hard pressed, he said
ne would give it. but under protest,
ana they must be responsible for his
aetlon- Then he said: Because it

this story is true, for the term "dogs'
was applied to the Union soldiers in
the South during the Civil War. AS
early as 1872 a Reuben E. Brown, Sr,
or Charleston, S. c., composed a song
Tor that war, and in 1860, at Clayton,
Ala, he altered it to suit the impend-

verses in the song, and here is the
seventh:

TWO SUBMARINES GO
TO SERVE RUSSIANS

New York, Oct. 22.--The American
will say tomorrow:
1.-TWO submarines for delivery to the
Russian government, which had been
sent so mysteriously to this harbor
from the shipyards at Newport News
were shipped on the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line steamer, which sailed at 5
O'Clock yesterday from Hoboken for
Hamburg. At that point the subTnar-
ines will be reshipped to st. Peters,
burg, where they will be put together
at once by experts who have sailed on
the same steamer. Within less than
a month these two boats will be ship
ped over the st. Petersburg and ST.
berian Railroad for Vladivostok.
1.-The submarines were taken apart
being separated amidships, and the
four sections were loaded on the main

REPUBLICANS BIG RALLY.
Fairbanks Got Quite an Ovation in

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 22.-With
Senator Fairbanks, the vice preslden-
tial candidate, as the principal speak
er, the Republicans of Wheeling, with
the cooperation of thousands OF the
faith from Western Pennsylvania and
Eastern Ohio, held their greatest rally
of the campaign here this afternoon
and tonight. Mr.. Fairbanks, in the
course of his address, replied to Grow
err Cleveland's Carnegie Hall, New
York, speech of last night, saying:
THE American people accepted the
promises of Democratic free traders
in 1892 and committed to their hands
the control of the government. And
they were given opportunity to make
practical test of their theories.
What was the result? The memory
of it will not soon fade from the minds
of our countrymen. Some OF the fruits
of the triumph of Democracy of 1892
were panic, suspended industry, en-
barrassed commerce, wrecked fnan-
cial institutions, millions of willing
workers forced from the avenues OF
employment into the streets, and bond
issues amounting to 62000.000 to
meet the current expenses of the gov
eminent On a time of profound peace"

IN A VERY CLEAN GAME
GE0RGIANS MET DEFEAT

Columbia SC, Oct. 22.-In an I'M
usually clean game Clemson defeated
the University of Georgia at Clemson
College to-day by the score of 10 to O.
The game was snappy from start
to finish and abounded in spectacular
plays. Georgia played a good game,
but Clemson played better and de-
served to win.
Furtick, Derrick, Ellison and McIver
made brilliant plays for Clemson.
Every man on Georgia's team played
well, but Woodruff. the plucky quarter,
was the star, running around the end
Of ten, fifteen and twenty yards.

THE CAR A SAINT?
From tho Worlds Work.

The Emperor, Nicholas II, has al
ready regned for nearly ten years, and
ruled for fully eight; yet the concrete
man, his individual character, and the
order of motives to which It is sensi-
bic, are nearly all as legendary as those
of Numa Pompilius. Clouds. OF jour
naiistic myths, mainly of German orr
gin, enwrap his figure, hiding 1t from
the vulgar gaze as thoroughly as
though he were Dalai Lama; and the
fanciful portrait, which we are asked
to accept, is an abstract and as color
less as that of our legendary Russian
princes. Beyond the precincts of the
palace, his person is TRANSPORTED, his
most trivial deeds are glorified, and his
least disnterested motives are twisted
and pulled into line with the funda-
mental principles OF ethics. The re-
suit is a caricature closely bordering
on the grotesque. Nikolai Alexandra
witch is depicted as a prince of peace,
a Slav Messiah sent for the salvation,

SIDNEY HERBERT'S LETTER.

AS the government has no clear title

and the three "Dade Massacre Pvra :
mids" can hardly be removed from
the cemetery, his suggestion is as i'm
practicable as that about negro ar
tillerists. There is an old Protestant
cemetery across the street from an
Client Fort Marion, in which several
army officers were buried way back
during the Indian wars. The father
of Lieut.. Gen. E. Kirby Smith. C. S.
A., is also buried there. But there
is not room in the cemetery for the
bodies inferred in the old military
cemetery at st. Francis Barracks. I
visited this cemetery last spring and
noted the many military graves there.
and l do not hesitate to protest
against any attempt to remove the
bodies therefrom In one of those
graves lie the remains of Mrs. Eliza
beth Dummett Hardee, the first wife
of the then Brevet Lieut.. Col. William
]. Hardee, U. S. A. Naval and army
officers and their families are buried
there, and after so long a time it
would be an outrage to disturb their
graves.

The deadly character of the third
battle of Manassas is illustrated in the
/ case Of an officer of the regular army.
II is said that this officer went
through the battles of the Civil War
WiIhout a scratch, and yet was killed
Theoretically in the awful and
ploody third battle of Manassas. And
/ pneh the correspondent of The Peo-
pie, at Fitzgerald, Ga, who was a SOL
dler IN the company from that city,
says the illustrious Maj. Gen. Henry
=. Corbin, U. S. A. the commander
ln-chief' was actually captured by
Uhat company, but was turned loose
as a ''non-combatant." Just think of
1.-THE warlike Corbin as a ''non-com-
oatant in terrible battle where he
was the commander in chief" But
the correspondent says he was in "a
large black army carriage drawn by
four black mules. and a mounted
guard dressed in brown" No wonder
! the newspapers rdicule the third bat
tie OF Manassas, and Brig, Gen. Fred
u. Grant, u. S. A., saws IL degenerat-
ed into Sham battle" The Official
reports Indicate, also, that the success
was not sufficient to warrant another
such battle in at least four or five
years. In the absence of Corbin the
next one may be less bloody and foot
sore and unsatisfactory
1 see by news item that long de-
layed honor is to be paid Mai. Gen.
L Bnfant, who was the founder of
Washington, D. c., so to speak 1 sup
pose this item refers to Brevet Major
Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who was
made captain in the engineer corps on
hfo
ices Congress, on May 2, 1888, resolved,
That Capt. LEnfant of the engineer
corps be promoted to the rank of ma
Jor by brevet." At that period in our
history as a nation we had to depend
upon other countries to supply our
army with expert engineers. BY reso-
luton of Congress, on May q, 1878, a
regiment was created under Brig. Gen.
du Portal, of which KosciuslQo was
colonel and Cambray was lieutenant
colonel. These names alone show that
the officers were of foreign birth, and
in the three companies of sappers and
miners of this regiment, organized on
March IL, 1879, only one American
name, Capt. Baldwin, appears. There
was in those days no West Point Mill
tary Academy to provide the army
with expert engineer officers, and
neither Harvard nor Yale were in
condition to send out such graduates.
Why, as late as 1886 the whole coun-
try, especially the South, depended al
most entirely upon West Point army
officers to superintend railroad enter
prises. 1 make bold to say, and fear
no contradiction, that West Point
Military Academy, aside from military
operations, has paid for itself over and
over again in the civil services of its
most distinguished graduates.
