It would be far from the in-

if those persecutions should land
the Admiral in the presidential
chair.

It now looks as though the
lion and lamb of the democratic
fold would lie down together. It
!s said that Bailey is favorable to
Gorman as the next presidential
nominee of the democratic party.
But come to think of it, is not the
above metaphor rather confus-
ing? Which of the gentlemen
named above can be likened to a
lamb? Certainly not the Mary-
land statesman, and as certainly
not our shaggy-maned Joseph
Welden. But without attempt-
ing to defend the metaphor the
political fact is apparently as
stated.
In the Indianapolis Sentinel of
last week there was published an
article written by Frank G. Car-
penter. In part he said:
“From the coffee islands of
Java I write these coffee notes
for the greatest coffee lovers on
earth. The Irish are famous as
whiskey drinkers, the English as
tea drinkers, the French as wine
It is said that a process has
been discovered for refining
Beaumont oil, that gives a par-
rel of crude oil the value of $5,
the cost of refining being 65
cents. The process gives five
valuable products, illuminating
oil, lubricating oil, naptha, am-
monia and a sort of asphalt.
If any one has been injured
by the investigation of Admiral
Schley’s conduct during the
Spanish-American war it is not
the Admiral but the other fel-
lows. The country is as thor-
oughly convinced now that he is
a hero worthy of the highest
admiration and honor as it was
on that memorable Fourth of
July morning when his superior
in command refused to recognize
his gallant services to his coun-
try. Whatever may be the find-
ing of the Court the country will
continue to recognize him as one
of the bravest, most gallant and
most patriotic of its officers.

low prices that those looking for

We make these prices as long as

A bloody race war was en-
acted in Washington Parish, La.,
Sunday in which eleven persons
were killed and about as many
more wounded. The trouble
arose at a negro campmeeting
and grew indirectly out of the
burning of a negro a few days
before for assaulting a white
woman. Nine negroes and two
whites were killed. Four of the
negroes were women and girls.
Admiral Schley has spent all
of his modest fortune in the de-
fense of his honor, it is said. If
this be so he can at least console
himself with the thought that
he is rich in the esteem and of

done. We take the best of Java
ing Spanish ships and of some
of the forts as well. Speaking
of this critical time, in his testi-
mony before theCourt of Inquiry,
Schley said: “If they could
have shot as well as our people
did, they would have got us.”
But at this critical moment he
said to his captain: “We must
stay with this crowd," and they
did stay with it. When the
Yoeinan Ellis was killed he was
standing within ten feet of the
Admiral, who was spattered
with his blood and brains. He
would not let the body be thrown
overboard, but said that one who
had fallen so gallantly deserved
to be buried as a Christian. “I’ll
get him yet. darn him. I'll fol-
low him to Spain if I have to.'
said the Admiral during the long
chase of the Colon. - Does all this
indicate that Schley was a cow-
ard and a caitiff?
