DEATH OF ADMIRAL CROWNIN-
SHIELD. f'''

Rear-Admiral A. S. Crowninshieid, u.
s.. Navy, retired, died at Philadelphia,
May q, in the Episcopal Hospital, after
an operation had been performed on
him for an affection of the nose. He
was born in New York March IA, 1S43.
His grandfather was Secretary of the
Navy under President Madison and
again under President Monroe, while a
granduncle had been appointed Secre-
tary of the Navy by President jefferson,
but declined to serve. He belonged to
what is known as the old Massachusetts,
naval families, and was sent to Annapo-
lis, from which he graduated in 1853.
Immediately entering upon active SER
vice. he participated in both attacks on
Fort Fisher, where he was specially
commended for courage and efficiency.
He reached a Captaincy in 1894, and
was in command of the battleship Maine
before she was sent to Havana under
the command of Capt. Sigsbee. He be-
came Chief of the important Bureau OF
Navigation, and during the War Wiz
Spain was member of the Maya Board
of Strategy, with the rank of Rear-Ad-
miral. He was retired March 20, 1903

The Commission of the Duma has
Willingly or unwittingly done some
thing strikingly appropriate. The sale
of liquors in Russia is on the dispen-
sary plan, a Government monopoly, and
an important source of the National
revenue. Therefore, all the vessels con-
tanning vodka have been stamped with
the imperial eagle. Whether for sani-
tary reasons or those connected with
National decency, the Commission has
recommended that the brand be
changed by replacing the imperial eagle
with deaths head and crossbones in
dicating poison. OF course, alcohol is
a poison, and kills each year infinitely
more Russians than all the other pois-
ons combined. The only objection to
this that We can see is that it will make
the poison label so common that it will
cease to be sign of warning to stop
people before the more virulent and in
Simultaneous poisons.

Quite an animated and at the same
time a very profitable discussion is
going on in the Roman Catholic papers.
as to the assertion for their denomina-
ton in politics. The discussion started
with the Catholic Columbian saying
that the Roman Catholics being one
fifth numerically of the population,
should have one-fifth of the offices. and
that therefore it behooves Roman Cath
olics to assert their rights. Other
Roman Catholic organs have forcefully
and very sensibly attacked this posi-
ton, and an important letter is pub
lished from Gen. Michael Ryan, of Gin
cinnati. in the Sacred Heart Review.
The General points out that it will
be far from the advantage of the
Church to enter politics in any shape,
and that there are entirely too many
professional Catholics now in office.
These men make themselves conspicu-
Gus on all public occasions, but their
Catholicism does not go much farther
than claiming recognition of their re-
ligious brethren, which means offices
for themselves. Gen. Ryan says very
truthfully that these men do not make
for the credit of the Church when put
into public places. Too often they
the places secured.

Senator William Warmers physical
condition alone prevented his being Sc
lected for Chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions, of the National Repub-
lican Convention Senator Warner has
been subjected to an unusual strain OF
work during the session of Congress
just closed, and an attack of la grippe
came to emphasize the results of over
work. The Taft men were decidedly in
favor of him for Chairman, and only
gave way upon representations that the
Senator might be physically unequal.
when they accepted Senator Hopkins IN
his stead. While Senator Hopkins is
an excellent man for the place, he has
not the attractiveness before a great
body of men of Senator Warner, whose
quick wit unfailing tact and swift mas
terry of any proposition that is present
ed makes him unsurpassed before a
popular gathering. He has shown this
repeatedly in the National Encamp-
ments, and it appears to advantage in
political conventions.

La Toilette made a gallant flibuster
which added to his reputation, but he
is not increasing this by an effort to
gain sympathy on the strength of
mistake in the stenographer's notes.
There is no sympathy to be wasted on
either side 1t was a question of sharp
practice on both sides, and La Toilette
lost out. He was taking shrewd advan-
tage of the Senate rules to protract his
fiIibuster, and his opponents were play
ing the same rules to beat him, which
they did. No matter what may be dis
covered in the stenographer's notes. it
cannot alter the result The stenograph-
er is a mere servant of the Senate, and
is liable to error as other employees and
Senators alike are. The controlling
fact must be that the Vice President
made his formal decision, and that this
decision was acquiesced in at the time
by the Senate.

There are a lot of tiresome people
who think it incumbent upon them to
find something awfully wrong in any
thing that other people seem to take
pleasure in. These folks are now after
the moving picture shows. and some
of them would have us believe that the
country is on the verge of ruin because
of the popularity of these. After all.
it does not really matter much what
these hunters of evil really say, as in
spite of their shrieks nothing of real
merit has ever been hurt by them. As
for the moving picture shows. they are
in general admirable features of enter
tainment The people need amuse-
ment and instruction, and that is one
of the great wants of society to-day.
The moving pictures are almost in
variably clean, wholesome, and really
attractive. The take the place of the
aters, and are so cheap as to be in the
reach of everyone and almost every
town. Anything that will give a man,
woman, or child a half hour of inno-
cent pleasure for a nickel is to be
commended. A large part of the rep
ertoire of these pictures, are camp and
marching scenes. battles, games, his
torical incidents, and similar matter,
which are really useful in educating
the people.

Hearst's constant cIamor at last re-

ing the extraordinary step of ordering

Lord Ayenbury, who is a bird protec-
tor, recently said In tile British Par
lament, II am SURG that IL ladies knew
how cruel the traffic is they would never
wear the plumes of birds, for, after all,
they do not look nice in them" The
noble lord is all right in his premises
and his intentions. The best way to
protect the birds, however, would be to
convince the ladies that they do not
look well in plumes, but unfortunately
the expressed opinion, not merely of the
noble lord, but of all the men in the
world, will have little weight with our
lair friends against the dictum of a
fashionable milliner. They will con-
tinue to put plumes upon their hats in
defiance of religion. the pleas of the
bird lovers. the walls of the farmers
over insect depredations fhat the birds
would prevent and all other considera-
tons, just SO long as that mysterious
thing called fashion dictates that bird
plumes are becoming.

One of the achievements of his life
on which Senator Teller takes the mos
pride is the part that he had in Sc.
curing the nomination of Abraham Lin
coin. He was then a young and ardent
politician, and became a strong ad-
mirer of Lincoln. He went to Chicago
with his soul burning for the nomination
of the great rail-splitter. and, working
with other enthusiastic young men, be-
gan to see light ahead, when it was
learned that Lincoln had come to town,
unknown to his friends, and was call
ing on all his acquaintance, telling sto-
ries, and talking about everything but
the Presidency. He, himself, had no
idea of being nominated. and was giving
the matter little attention. Lincoln
was at once corralled in a private room,
and a determined assault made upon
him to make him go home. Lincoln
protested that his chances were not
worth mentioning and that anybody
who saw him would never vote for him
Mr.. Teller insisted that the chances
were excellent, but that the proprieties
must be observed. and the New Eng
land people especially were punctilious
about such matters. and finally Lincoln
yielded and went home. Three days
later ne received the nomination.

THE CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA.

There has been a campaign in Geor
gia of marked vividness and pictur
iesqueness for the Gubernatorial nomi
nation. The candidates were Hok'
Smith, who was elected by an over
whelming majority two years ago, ant
has been in hot water ever since. anC
Joseph M. Brown, son of the lat
Brown. Gov. Smith was elected upoI
| a platform calling for strict railroad
regulation, prohibition and the dis
| reimbursement of the negros. He ha'
exerted himself 10 carry out his pre-
election promises, but this has raised
up against him a host of enemies il
| the most unexpected quarters. Brown
seems to have all of his fathers skill
in getting close to the people, and ha:
given Smith the race of his life.
The campaign has abounded in al
manner of surprises. Gov. Smith, who
is an impressive-looking man, with &
great deal of manner and an orator OF
real talents, has canvassed the State
from one end to the other, and every
where met great audiences, which he
reused to enthusiasm. On the Other
hand, Brown is a small and not striking
man, who cannot make a speech, but
is power with his pen. Into the fight
came all the fervor of old time politics
with parades. transparencies, banners
and the usual adjuncts of hot cam
paign. The Brown forces ridiculed
Smiths handsome figure and deport-
ment and his resonant voice, while the
Smith crowd retaliated upon Browns
insignificant appearance and inability to
Brown people carried on their banners
Soak Hoke," while the Smith folks
held aloft Down Brown"
One of the unexpected things which
always happen in politics was the bit
ter hostility of Thomas E. Watson, the
Populist leader, who cordially support
ed Smith two years ago, but this year
fought him bitterly, altho he had to
get into line with the politicians behind
Brown, who have been Watson's dearest
enemies. The farmers went with Wat
son against Smith, and it is also charged
that the railroad and liquor interests
were solidly in line against Smith. Pro-
hibition threw Atlanta, Savannah, Co
lumbus. Macon and other cities against
Smith. and he lost thousands of votes
by abolishing free passes.
The rift between Brown and Smith
began when the Governor dismissed
Brown from the Office of Railroad Com
missioner. RI returns now indicate
that Brown will have 10000 or more
majority against Smith.
