Case of Admiral Byng.

In order to find any parallel for the
case of this Russian prince. it is neces-
sary TO go back to the eighteenth CEN
fury, when the British admiral, the
Hon. George Byng, son Of Lord Tor
ringtOn, received peremptory orders to
relieve MinOrca, which was being be-
sieged by the French fleet. The squad
ron conf1ded to him for the execution
of this mission had been sent to sea
poorly manned and inadequately
armed, while the stormy weather which
IL encountered in the Bay of Biscay re-
duced it to such condition that the
admiral on reaching the Mediterrane-
an, decided that il was hopeless to
dream of engaging the powerful French
naval force of Minorea.
The latter shortly afterward sUrren
dered to the French. and, in Difference
10 popular clamor, Admiral Byng was
brought home under arrest on his own
flagship and tried by court-martial at
Portsmouth. The court, which was
composed Of flag officers. acquitted him
of the charges Of cowardice which had
been brought against him, but issued
a verdict TO the effect that he had dis
obeyed orders by neglecting to do his
utmost to relieve Minorca or TO defeat
the French fleet.
According TO the then rules Of war.
the court had no alternative but TO
sentence him to death on this account,
but strongly recommended him to mer-
cy in consideration of the disgraceful
condition in which his squadron had
been sent 10 sea and on the ground
that at the most he had been guilty
of error OF judgment and of reluctance
to accept the responsibility of engag-
ing overwhelming French forces with
ships inadequaIeiy armed and manned.

10 secure from the crown not merely

in the adrniral's behalf. and Byng was

IEBHILE it is not until after the fall
Wv of Port Arthur that It win be
known definitely whether Admi-
raj Prince Ouchtomsky has really been
sentenced to death by cOurt-martial for
his fragrant disobedience in returning
TO the doomed stronghold, it is extreme
ly probable that the story is true, and
that he has already suffered death,
probably on the quarterback Of his own
flagship, for his failure to comply with
the peremptOry instructions which he
had received. Disregard of commands
is an extremely serious fault on the
part of naval and military men, even
i'm times of peace, since it tends to i'm
pair that fundamental principle of dis
cipline without which no army or fleet
is Of any material value. But i'm war
diSObedience becomes a capital offense,
since the neglect to execute directions
is calculated to result not only in great
loss of life, but in defeats that bring
shame and disaster upon the nation to
which the insubOrdinate officer or pri-
vate belongs
The car, knowing that Port Arthur,
in spite of its heroic defense, was des-
tined TO fall, had issued an imperative
Olueft communicated through -Aunlrdi
Without, TO the effect that all the
ships in the harbor should go forth,
run the gantlet of the blockading fleet,
and endeavor TO cut their way through
TO safety, but under no circumstances
whatsoever to return. In spite of these
directions, the prince returned to port
with his ships rather than engage the
superior force of the enemy, being Of
the opinion. presumably, that It would
be preferable to blow up his remaining
vessels in the harbOr just prior to the
fall of the fortress, AMI participate in
its inevitable surrender rather than to
face the danger Of being sunk by Ad-
miral Togo.

BaIsed Effort to walk on water.

Charles H. Cartwell, writing in the
Chicago Tribune. repeats this joke
played on the so-called Prophet" Jo-
seph Smith, ST., of the Mormon
Church:
Some time in the thirties Smith and
a party of his followers were proselyt-
ing in Muskingum county, Ohio. He
appointed a certain day when he
would show the people his wonderful
powers, and that he was a second
Christ by walking on the waters of
Mud creek. The water was always
muddy. A day or two before the time
set grandmother's brother Robert and
a couple of neighbor boys were acct
dentally attracted to the Mormons
working at the creek, and, concealing
themselves, watched the Mormons put
down stakes and put planks on them
from bank to banks, the plank resting
about six inches under water. After
the Mormons left the boys went down
and took out the center plank, where
the water was about ten feet deep.
The next day 'Balaam' Smith came
down to the creek, and after a long
exhortation, started across the creek.
He was all right and on top till he
came to the center, where his powers
seemed to leave him, and he. like Nc
Ginty, went to the bottom. This
was the end of Mormonism in that old
tried and true Presbyterian county"

Personal.

Andrew Carnegie has the best COL
lection of autographs of crowned
heads and famous persons in contem-
porary history. These are frequently
not only signatures, but also letters
written to him on various subjects. He
has compiled them with great deal
of care and they form one of his most
valued possessions. Nothing has ever
been learned of what became of the
collection of the late DR.. Evans of
Paris, which was one of the most ex-
tensive in Europe.
Thomas A. Edison offers this in
explanation of his ability to do the
enormous amount of work he performs:
II eat just about a pound of food per
day-three meals, but just enough to
nourish the body My diet consists of
meat, vegetables, eggs, or anything
else that l want, but in small quaint
ties. People eat and drink far too
much. Indeed, l know of men and
women who are food drunk all the
time. l hardly ever take any outdoor
recreation, but 1 live abstemiously, as
my father did before me. If people
would diet themselves and drop drugs
many common ailments would disap-
pear"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Mobile Register (Dem.) says:
New York state is regarded as the
controlling factor in the coming pres
idential election. 1t is the Empire
State and the strongest integer in the
Union of states. Yet New York in
1879 did not take the trouble even to
appoint electors, and, therefore, had no
part in selecting the first President of
the United States. That was an cleo
ton carried without New York. 1t cam
not be repeated in this year of grace"
The st. Louis Republic says; 1.-THE
trolley is solving one problem: That
of getting the people out of the cities.
1t is populating the rural communities,
thereby increasing the price or outly-
ing lands, and at the same time al
lowing the suburbanite to do business
in the city. Incidentally it is building
up the merchant in the city to the in
jury of the small country dealer. But
it will in all probability even matters,
as the steam road did when it sup
planted the stage, canal and the
steamboat"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer CDem)
says; THE (SmooO investigation has
already revealed that polygamy is not
asleep at that. If President Smith
justifies it on the strength of one rev.
elation and then condemns it on the
authority of another what is to pre-
vent an infinite series of revelations
each made to suit any emergency with
which the church may find itself con-
fronted? These revelations made to
order may prove to be whole armory
of two-edged swords"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says
MIR. Bryan has turned Judge Parker
down because the judge hasn't sub
mitted plans and specifications for the
platform he thinks his party ought to
build at st. Louis. Judge Parker
thinks the Democratic party in con-
vention ought to be left to make the
platform 1t wants; If he likes it he will
take it; If not, he'll probably decline
to run OH it. Mr. Bryan, who has con-
tracted the habit of thinking that he
is the only man who has a right to
think for his party, doesn't understand
that sort of a Democrat. It's an in
novation, however the masses of the
party appear to be relishing very
greatly"

building for the future development
OF the country through which the
roads pass. The suburban sections are
growing steadily, and as steadily de-
handing modern facilities for the
transaction of their business. In view
Of this fact, no new roads should be
constructed that are not planned with
a view to their eventual accommoda-
ton of railway tracks. They should
be wide enough for a railway track in
addition to roadways for vehicles and
horses. And in the building of bridges
on such roads, they should be made
strong enough to bear the contem-
plated railway traffic. Lines of cleo
trio or other cheap-pOwer railways are
the coming necessity of the country
districts. The construction of such
lines means that the counties which
have them, giving cheap, quick and
easy access to the markets, will de-
velop most rapidly. In nearly every
part of Georgia there are streams that
might be made to supply the power for
the operation of short electric lines.
Electric railways and their equipment
cost relatively little in comparison
with steam railways, with their heavy
equipment and costly, rights-of-way.
The County Commissioners of this
county who some years ago projected
and partly built the Meridian road
planned it so that a railway line could
be laid on either side of it.
Let all of those counties that are
looking forward to road improvements
take time by the forelock and make
the grading of their highways wide
enough for electric railway tracks.
Such anticipation of the needs of the
sections may induce the building of
number of new lines.
And here it may be we'll to mention
that light cars such as are used on
electric railways. can be propelled by
the same motive power as that used in
automobiles. 1t is certain that there
will be great development along this
line, and in the near future it Is to be
expected that gasoline railway cars
will be in use. Cheap railways, oper-
ated by electric or gasoline power, may
prove to be the competitors and regu-
lators Of the great steam roads of the
country.
