A SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT.

The name of Chief Gunner's Mate
Monson of the battleship Missouri
should be written high in the list of
heroes OF the United States navy.
Brave Bill" Anthony's intrepidity at
the time of the destruction of the
Maine was not finer than Monson's
display of courage and presence of
mind. Anthony knew that the worst
had happened when he saluted Capt.
Sigsbee and announced that the ship
had been blown up and was sinking,
but Monson did not know what was
to follow, when, as soon as he heard
the explosion in the turret, he sprang
into the powder magazine and closed
the door after him. In all probability
he expected every beat of his heart to
be the last, and that at any instant
he would be torn into bits as fine as
powder. But, like another Jim Blud-
soc, "he seen his duty and he done
It." He staked his life on a chance
to save his ship, and won. 1t was a
splendid achievement, at a time when
seconds were of incalculable value. 1t
is a genuine pleasure to record that
Monson came out of the adventure
none the worse except for thorough
soaking in the flooded magazine. Uncle
Sam ought to see to it that he wears
a medal for his bravery and quick
and correct judgment.

Nearly all of Russia's battleships are
formidable looking monsters. They
stand high out OF the water, their free
boards being almost as high as two
story house. Their guns and top
hamper are far above the water, maxi
ing them top-heavy and liable to turn
turtle" when struck below the water
line. That is what occurred TO the
Petropavlovsk. She was one of the
tall-structure ships. AS soon as the
compartments on the smitted side filled
with water. she keeled over and went
to the bottom. The new vessels of the
American and some other navies show
a very low freeboard. thus bringing
the center of gravity nearer the keel
and at the same time presenting a
smaller target for the enemy to fire
upon. 1t will be recalled that the British
battleship Camperdown, another high
standing ship, turned turtle" and
went down in the Mediterranean some
few years ago after being in collision
with another ship of her feet, and in
the Carbohydrates war a Chinese ship
of the same general pattern suffered
similar fate upon being struck below
the water line.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

In an editorial entitled The Truth
of History" Mr.. Henry Watterson, ed
itor of the Louisville Journal.
makes convincing reply to the charge
made against Judge Parker by Don M.
Dickinson, who was a member of Mr..
Clevelands cabinet that the defeat Of
Mr.. Cleveland in 1888 was due to the
"nefarious campaign" carried on for Mr..
Hill by Judge Parker. Mr. Watterson
was in a position to know the facts
Of the campaign of 1888, and, hence,
what he says in reply to Mr.. Dickin-
sons charge can be relied on.
Mr. Hill was the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of New York in
that year and Judge Parker was his
campaign manager. Mr.. Cleveland was
the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, and Calvin S. Brice was the man
ager OF the presidential campaign for
the Democratic party. Mr.. Hermann
Oelrichs was the head of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee OF New
York. In October of that year MIR.
Oelrichs called on Mr.. Brice and said
that the State Brewers Association,
which controlled $4,000 votes, had de-
cided to use it's influence for Mr.. Hill,
believing it would be for it's interest
to do so, and he said that 1t would
willingly do the same thing for Mr..
Cleveland, provided that the latter
would do what he could for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Brice asked what
the association wanted done. Mr.. Gel
richs said that IL Mr.. Cleveland would
write a letter in support of Mr.. Hill
the association would be satisfied. Mr..
Brice said: Suppose Mr.. Cleveland
will not write the letter." Then, said
Mr.. Oelrichs, "let him appear here in
New York at q public meeting in COM
pany with Mr.. Hill"
Mr.. Brice went to Washington at
once to see Mr.. Cleveland about the
matter. Mr.. Cleveland declined to ac-
cede to either proposition. According
to Mr.. Watterson he felt so sure of
his reelection that he wouldn't make
any concession to secure the $4,000
votes controlled by the State Brewers
Association, Mr.. Cleveland lost the
electoral vote Of New York. and. hence,
the presidency, while Mr.. Hill was
elected Governor. The inference is
that If he had bargained for the votes
controlled by. the brewers he would
have been elected.
Mr.. Watterson says there is no rea-
son for thinking that Judge Parker
knew anything about the arrangement
with the State Brewers Association.
1t was matter outside Of him alto
gether. Mr.. Cleveland lost the cleo
ton not because of anything done by
Judge Parker but because he thought
he could safely spurn what he thought
was dicker.'
No doubt there will be many attacks
upon Judge Parker between now and
the meeting of the st. Louis conven-
ton, but there isn't much doubt that
all of them will be answered satisfac-
torily.

IAPAN.s SUCCESS ON TIE SEA.

1t wouldn't be wise to jump to the
conclusion that Japan is going TO be
the victor in her war with Russia sim
ply because she has shown her supe-
riority on the sea, but there is no
doubt that the feeling that Japan IS
going to succeed is much stronger
than II was when the war began.
Then II was felt that though she might
score some successes in minor engage
ments, Russia, like a great glacier,
would move down upon the island en-
pire and crush the life out Of it. But
it is becoming apparent that Japan
knows how 10 take care of herself.
Russia is no match for her upon the
sea. That is so apparent that it is
generally admitted. Japan has practi-
caly destroyed the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur and yet there has been
no general engagement between the
fleets Of the two nations. By means
of mines and torpedoes the work of
destruction has been, carried on.
If the Russians are as unskilful in
handling their ships in an engagement
as they have shown themselves to be
in avoiding agents of destruction in
their own harbor. it wouldn't take the
japanese long to destroy the Russian
fleet in a general engagement. The
events Of the war thus far have dis
closed the fact that the Japanese are
far ahead of the Russians upon the
sea.
And how is it going to be on sland?
OF the courage of the Russian sailors
and soldiers there is no question. They
have in them the material fer the max
ing of men capable of doing wonders.
On land the Russians will give a good
account of themselves. provided they
are properly led and are in every re-
spect prepared to meet their foe, but
if the army is as unprepared for the
work it is called upon to do as the.
navy has shown itself to be. then the
Russians may expect a series of dis
asters on land.
The preparedness Of the Japanese ex-
cites admiration. Their feet at Port
Arthur has accomplished wonders, and,
that too, without much loss of life on
their part. or injury to their ships.
They know what they want to do and
they do it. VIII they show the same
severe discipline. and the same quick
ness, alertness and skill on land as
they show on the sea? If they do then
Russia, big and powerful as she is,
will have reason to wonder If she didn't
make a mistake in furnishing cause
for the war.

Bull RIM Over Agnin.

So we are to have the battle of Bun
Run over again! writes Victor Smith
in the New York Press. Mighty Scipio!
Is it to be the first or second Bull
Run? And why Bull Run? Who shall
suffer? Is Gen. Corbin to be Mcdowell
or Pope? Both got terribly licked, the
former by Beauregard. the latter by
Lee. In the second battle $1,000 Federal
soldiers were killed. We cannot stand
any more of that.
Why not give us a replica of the bat
tie of Gettysburg-Cemetery Hill and
Seminary Ridge, for instance? If Lee
had licked Meade it would have been
impossible for Garfield to say-"God
reigns! and the government at Wash
ington lives!" Lee would have cap
tured Washington. But that's history
therefore tiresome and trite. 1 was
going to tell what celebrated South
ern general and orator said to his
troops just before leading them into
battle. Boys" he cried, Il am go
ing to take you to place where the
grape are iron and the vintage blood"
They followed to a man, and most of
them went into the vintage.

SAVANNAH A ooALING STATION.

The formation or a company 10 es-
tablish a coaling station at this port
shows what can be done. in bringing
new enterprises to this city. by per-
sistent and we'll directed effort. The
Morning News has. on number OF
occasions called attention to the fact
that a coaling station here would be
very helpful to the commerce OF the
mort. and at the same time great ac-
conomodation to vessels loading here,
but its suggestion. that such station
would pay as a business undertaking,
had always been met by those IN a
position to speak with some authority
in respect to the coal business, by the
statement that coaling station
wouldn't pay. Those who have gone
into the Savannah Coaling Company
have studied the situation thoroughly
and they are satisfied that a coaling
station here will pay. So satisfied are
they ON that point that they are put
ting their money in the enterprise.
There is one thing that should be
kept in mind by the company. and
Inat is IndL the ulNCAleNfAihb "hAA AN~AS
prove a failure unless a man of bust
ness capacity and possessing a deter
mination to succeed is put in charge
of its affairs. Doubtless there will be
some obstacles to be overcome in the
beginning of the enterprise. Shipmas-
ters will have to be convinced that
all things considered. it will be to their
advantage to coal here rather than at
Norfolk, and there will have to be close
figuring in order to secure business in
the beginning and yet leave a fair
profit for those who have put their
money in the undertaking. With the
right man in charge of the business
we have no doubt that Savannah will
become popular coaling station.
1t is understood, of course. that the
coal is to be brought from the West
Virginia mines, but in time it may be
shown that about as good coal for
steaming purposes can be had from
the mines here in Georgia, or from the
Alabama or Tennessee mines. 1t is
a fact, known to some who are famil-
lar with the coal deposits of the South,
that the Georgia coal, particularly that
on the Chattanooga division of the
Central Railroad, is of an exceptionally
! good quality.
1t wouldn't be surprising if the es-
tablishing of a coaling station here
should result. in the course of time, in
bringing Georgia, Tennessee and Ala
bama coal into favor with steam
ships visiting this port. There is a
belief now that it isn't as good for
steaming purposes as the Virginia coal,
but 1t may be the belief is only a pref
ndic.A which may gradually disappear.

Cochran Fooled Him.

Col Bill" Sterrett of Texas sat de-
jectedly in the House press gallery last
Saturday while Bourke Cochran was
delivering his great speech on the de-
cadence of the House and the Presi-
dents service-pension order says the
Washington correspondence of the New
York World.
What's the matter, Bill?" asked a
friend. why don't you go in and hear
Cockran?"
mo-" said Sterrett sadly, 81 can't;
1 jest plumb can't. Why, I remember
ten or twelve years ago, when he made
his speech on the income tax. l was
in there then. I saw that man stand
there at the head of the main aisle
and talk and shake his head and pull
his hair over his eyes and come charg-
ing down the aisle, so much in earnest
that he couldn't talk, agitated and in
tense, full of surging thoughts, and
when he got down in front Of the
Speaker jest roar it out and then go
back and come charging down again.
By George! saw all that, and 1
can't forget it.
He had me crying one minute and
hurrahing for the Lone Star State the
next, and l went out and wrote four
columns to my paper and said he was
the greatest orator since Cicero, and
had Cicero beat a block when it came
to the real thing. 1t seemed to me
like it came from his heart, and l
had Mysteries about it for four col
umns
"Then the next day his secretary
told me he had been practicing that
speech for four weeks and had written
1t over and over and ~over. and all
those spontaneous utterances were cut
and dried as a smoked herring; and
/ quit. 1 jest plumb quit. I'm taking
my acting on the stage now; not out
there in Congress-"

PERSONAL.

Henry ]. Alderman has been living
in a dugout near Pueblo, Col, for six
years. Formerly he was a well-to-do
resident of Brooklyn. In 1898, while
cruising in his yacht, he met and fell
in love with a young woman. She mar
ried another man, whereupon Acker-
man left his home and took up his
abode in his present quarters, where
he has lived a hermit's life ever since.

Juvenile views of Marriage.

He was a curly-headed boy with life
before him, says the Philadelphia Tele-
graph. She was a little girl with a
saucy pug nose, but wise, it would
seem, beyond her years. The fact that
she was nursing doll with eyes that
opened and shut with click may have
been his inspiration.
Say, sister, 1 t'ink I'd get married
if i knew how
"Oh, that's easy" replied the owner
of the pug nose. First you buy q
diamond ring and give it to her; then
you buy gold ring, like mammals
got, and give that to her. And then
you must buy her a watch for her
birthday"
AN what she give me?" expectant-
ly asked the little chap.
~Why, nuthin', of course" smartly
replied his little companion.
"Say, sister, he added, Il guess
won't marry"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer Oem)
says: Some of the Republican party's
ready reckoners' have figured out that
Roosevelt can be elected without New
York. The President Is known to be
anxious about-the state, and with rea-
son. II all for which he stands fails
to appeal to the Republicans of his
own state, what reason is there to be-
lieve that his course will be more
strongly indorseds by the doubtful
states OF the East and the Middle
West?'
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
Some say that Mr.. Hearst is man
of small ability. This may be true ex-
cept with regard to his knowledge of
the power of money; it is certainly not
true as to that. With his money he
has arranged matters beautifully. IT
is said that he cannot himself make
a good speech or write with force; but
what OF that? He pulls wire, and
Brisbane writes. He pulls another wire,
and Congressman Liverwurst makes
a speech. He pulls still another wire,
and the judicious Ihmsen produces a
fresh supply of happiness and pleas
ant smiles among the natures noble
men who bring up the rear of the
boom"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
"A magnificent American feet is pre-
pairing for a long summer cruise in the
Mediterranean Sea. II is intimated
that a portion of the fleet will be sent
into Turkish waters in order to hold
the Sultan to the fulfillment of certain
obligations But why should there be
any official secret about this matter?
Why should the uneasy Roosevelt adj
ministration be always seeking for in
ternational complications in some quar-
ter Of the globe? There was truth in
Bourke Cockran's sarcasm that while
Congress has the constitutional privi-
lege of declaring war. the President
makes var. There would be war now
or both shores of the isthmus of Pana-
ma II the Republic Of Colombia were
net toe feeble to fight"
