broad sense they are right. What

not faith at all. There must be

TIE oREGoN's CAPTAIN.

The record of Captain John Porter
Merrell, commanding the Oregon, is a
long one. He was born in New York
and entered the Navy Academy July
30. 1868, graduating in 1867. He was
attached to the Ticonderoga and Frank
lin on the European station in 1867 and
1868, the Plymouth, same station, in
December, 1865 to 1870, then on the
Guard doing duty along the Fishing
Banks. He was a member of the Oar
len Expedition in 1870 to 1871. From
1862 to 1887 he was on duty at the
Naval Academy, and again from 1889
to 1898. From 1893 to 1896 he was
attached to the Baltimore, and was d
member of the State Department Com
mission to investigate certain anti
foreign disturbances which occurred in
the province of Szechuen, China, and
as a member of this commission he
made an overland journey from Tien
Tsin to Chentufu. thence to Chungking,
thence by the Yangtse river to Shang-
hal. This was considered at the time
the longest journey made into the in
terror of China by white man since
the 14th century. Since then he has
been on duty mainly on the Atlantic
coast.
The Oregon will remain here until
March 25.

HER FAMOUS RUN.

Before the Spanish war broke out the
Oregon was at Puget Sound. The day
after the Maine was blown up she came
out of the drydock and on March 9th
at a. m. she started on her famous
14,5O0-knot run from the Pacific to the
Atlantic, via Cape Horn. On May "a
the vessel stopped at Jupiter Inlet,
Fla. Her machinery had worked with
out serious casualty and she was fit
for any battle when she arrived off
Florida. On May %. after coaling she
steamed to join the feet off Cuba. Her
record in the July Sd battle is well
known. She was commanded then by
Captain Clark, since dead. The speed
of the Oregon enabled her to out dis
lance the Spanish warship Cristobal
Colon and a 13-inch shell from the Ore
gon which was sent beyond her con-
WINGED the Spaniards that their doom
was sealed.

famous run and battle there are two

PASSING OF FAME.

Kentucky is about to turn hen
back upon the traditions of that
grand old Commonwealth by re-
firing from public life the last OF
its representatives of that school,
Senator 10 Blackburn. The
motive in doing this is not to sup.
plant him with an ADLER or better
man, but to satisfy the personal
anu selfish aims of a lot of malcon.
tents and disgruntIed politicians,
having as the origin of their griev-
ance in the Taylor Goebel trouble.
Senator Blackburn has never been
recognized as one of the Senate
brilliant men, but as an organizer
and debater be is a tower of
strength and hence enc of the
leading men fron the Blue Grass
State. Paynter and Beckham arc
both comparatively young men.
They have no advantage of Black
burn in ability and are at serious
disadvantage when pitted against
him in trained polemics and politi-
cal battle. Senator Blackburn is
growing old in years, but his mind
and body are active and no man
was ever welded to his native
country by stronger ties of affec-
ton; there is not more genuine
Kentuckian in the State. The day
that ends the political career of
the grand old man will be the
dawn of political commercialism
and graft and greed in the country
famed with history and legend Of
beautiful women, gifted men and
fine horses. 1t is the beginning
of the end.

fairest method. A mass conyen-
ton is nothing more nor less than
a mob of enthusiastic ''cappers"
or wire pullers, usually seeking to
displace public sentiment, and a
delegated convention is almost the
same thing. The delegates come
from district mass conventions,
which means undue activity
among pie-holders with the same
results. OF course these men are
going to do all the damage they can
in primary, but the opportunl-
ties are not so easy. BY all
means a primary and legal pri-
mary at that, and the candidate
whose regard for his Democracy
is so utterly lacking as to make an
independent race in the face of
the returns let him proceed with
his business. If there are enough
Republicans and nobodies to elect
him, then you have the consela-
ton of knowing what kind of 0
representative your man is and
that you were in ncjwise response
BILE for his election. The repre-
sentative, whether senator, foater,
or whetnot, who is elected in such
a manner, is also laboring with
impressions, but of different
character. He has the satisfac-
ton of knowing that the price
paid for his Office was the surren-
der of his Democracy and the re-
pudiation of his obligations to the
party. This kind of a man might
slip through in convention, but
he will never be aole to survive

OUR CITY AFFAIRS.

The Board of Mayor and Alder
men met on Tuesday night for
the last regular meeting to be held
during the present term. Moth
ing of importance came before the
Board except petition numerous
ly signed, presented by DR.. Rlppy
in person in neat speech asking
the city council to appropriate to
Marshal Pardue as much as 500
as token of appreciation of the
manner in which he has discharged
his official duties since be has been
city marshal.
Many nice things were said
about the worthy officer by mem
bers of the council and the allow
ance was made to him without a
dissenting vote. Fifty dollars was
also appropriated to Special Off
Ger White for valuable service
rendered the city during the last
two years as night policeman.
While Mr.. White has not been on
the regular force il will be remem-
bered that he was badly wounded
last summer in the raid of the
negro cray shooters when Marshal
Pardue was also wounded. Mr..
White has been valuable aid in
experimenting boot'leggers also,
and by his skill and persistence in
assisting Marshal Pardue many of
that class have been brought to
iustic. As this was the last meet
ing to be held by the present
board the mayor took occasion to
state to the aldermen present that
the past two years he regarded as
the most successful term he had
known since he had been Mayor
of the City. He said it was also
the most harmonious and that there
had been less friction than was in
any previous board with which he
had been connected. 1t was
shown by the mayer and different
aldermen that this term classes
with the city in better financial
condition than it had been in at
the close of any term for the last
ten years. Not one dollar of the
1905 taxes are yet in the treasury
and yet the year has closed with
money on hand and all bills paid.
This in connection with the fact
that the city taxes have been re-
duced twenty-five cents on the hun
dred dollars is a very pleasant
commentary upon the condition of
city affairs and very agreeable
prospect for the consideration of
our citizens. The mayor accorded
credit for this unusual state of
affairs ungrudgingly to each and
every one of the aldermen stating
that all had workedatogether har-
monously for the good of the city.
