 After passing Port Phillips head at 11:2O this morning the ships received continuous ovation from the shore and a vast excursion fleet, the entire 30 miles to the anchorage grounds. The weather was beautiful. warm sunshine having taken the place of the large clouds which early in the morning seemed to indicate a dreary day for the welcome of the fleet, for which Melbourne has made such lav- ish preparations. Turning the headlands and pointing their noses toward the city, the vessels of the fleet were greeted by the British cruiser Psyche, which boomed a welcome of its 13 guns and dipped Its flag to the Connecticut. which was in the van.

 Your Decatur correspondent, under date of August 23, has a communica- tion published in your issue of August "A headed Mayor Blackwell Wants Stronger Ordinances"
 In said communication the writer quotes part of article I wrote for the Morgan County Times, in reference to some city ordinances I thought nec- essary to have passed to aid in the proper enforcement of the prohibition law in our city. The correspondent says Mayor Samuel Blackwell of New Decatur vidtually admits that proh fbi- ton In New Decatur is a farce and failure. He does not say it is a failure in so many words, but he admits that the present laws need perfecting" ] admit 1t is defective, but do not say 1t is a failure, because of the defects. It can be made effective The con- clusions of the correspondent are in absolute conflict with the article I wrote. I did say "that the passagedof an ordinance prohibiting the storage or keeping on deposit in any store house or othe CT public place where the public is invited or admitted any vino1s, spirituous or malt liquors or in .,s eating drinks or beverages, was g ss lutely necessary for the proper enfoi ment of the prohibition law"

BRYAN BACK HOME
 AFTER LONG TRIP

Lincoln, Neb., August 8.-Travel stain ed and dusty, William J. Bryan, demo- cratic candidate for president, and the members of his party, returned here late this afternoon after an absence of over a week. during which Mir. Bryan deliv- cred speeches in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Kansas and held political confer ences in Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City.
 The journey from Topeka to Lincoln, begun early in the morning, consumed the entire day The route of travel today carried MT. Bryan through sparsey set tied sections of Missouri and Nebraska and in consequence he found opportunity to transact considerable business aboard the train and at the same time secure . much needed rest.
 No speeches were made at any point.
 MT. Bryan's stay at Fairview will be brief as he starts again Sunday afternoon on a three day speaking tour, commence ing at the fair grounds between St. Paul and Minneapolis, Monday. From there he will proceed to Fargo and Grand Forks. N D., where on Tuesday he will deliv- CT addresses.

from the American flagship an answering salute, and her flag at the fore was dipped to the British Union Jack. The small populace of Queens Cliff had been augmented by thousands of visitors, all of whom crowded the shore to witness the passage of the American armada. Craft of every kind dotted the bay, and there was a constant exchange of salutes between them and the American ships.
 Shortly after the Connecticut anchored Rear Admiral Sperry and his staff came ashore and paid an official visit to the Hon. Sir Reginald A. J. Talbott, governor of Victoria, who soon afterward returned the visit aboard the Connecticut.
 Melbourne today is a city of waving flags and bunting. Aside from the pro fusion of regular decorations the cabs and tradesmen's carts are flying Aus tralian and American flags, and men, women and children are carrying the American colors, which are being sold on every street corner. The populace is en- thusiastic to a degree over the arrival of the ships.

Author of Quotation.

To the Editir of The Herald.
 I always read everything that comes from John With erspoon DuBose with great interest. His style Is lucid his dictfon free and easy and what ne writes very entertaining. MT DuBose. too, is generally correct in his histori-. cal statements; but. unfortunately. hei lapsed into error in his last Sundays article. believe he was discussing the Confederate constitution. Anyway. in speaking of secession he quoted Gen. Scott as having used the famous ex- precision, Let the erring sisters depart In peace" l am sure if the learned gentleman will recur to the history of those time he will find that not Gen. Scott, but Horace Greeley was tho author Of the brief saying and tha. MT. Greeley, after he had taken such 'o decided stand against the south during the war, was harshly and very justiiA criticised for so doing, as most of his previous writings showed an entirely different trend. w.

Open Saloon Prohf-

The correspondent does not seem ta see the difference between defective law that may be remedied and a law that Is failure. To illustrate, suppose a party builds a house for the com fort of his family, and after h thinks it is finished, he finds a leak in the roof, would it be practical to say that the whole house Is worthless or a failure because of the leak? Or would it be sensible to perfect or make good the house by mending the leak? Would you destroy an otherwise good building be- cause of defect that is mendable?
 Suppose a man should enter business and find after beginning that he lacked 10 per cent of having capital enough to reach his highest possibilities, would 1t be more practical to abandon his business and destroy what capital he had, or to save what he had and work fndustriously to add the 10 per cent more that was needed to his business and make it reach its highest possible success? I think the defects in the prohibition law are largely curable py the passage of proper town and city ordinances. I want to be sure to keep what we have that is good in this law. and add to 1t what 1t needs.
 In justice to myself feel that you will be glad to publish this article. Respectfully, SAMUEL BLACKWELL.
