Tbe Best Men.
Now that a white primary has
been ordered for municipal offi
cers, it beLooves those upon whom
rests the responsibility to see that
tbe ablest men in town are placed
on tbe board of aldermen, for up
on thie board will rest, largely,
tbe respboeibility ot conducting
tbe affaire of the town. There
bat been a diepoeition heretofore
on tbe part of those who could
have served tbe town well and
ably, to ehirk that doty. We
hope it will not be the case here
after. Let men of know'n ability
and integrity be elected; men
who will look after the interests
of tbe town as they do after their
own private interest*. There i* a
superabundance of tbe beet ma
terial, let it be utilised. Thomas-
fills needs a strong conservative,
and, at tbs same time, a progres
sive board of aldsrmsn.

dicating Admiral Scbley.
Admiral Dewey sayt:
“In the opinion of the under

sible dispatch, Commodore Schley
baviug in view the importance of

“Commodore Schley, in permit
ting tbe steamer Adula to enter
the p.)rt of Cienfnegos, expected

“Tbe passage Iroin Cienfuegos
to a poiut about tweuiy-two miles
south of Santiago was made with
as much dispatch as was possible
while keeping the squadron a unit.
“Tbe blockade of Santiago was
effective.
“Commodore Schley was the
senior officer of our eqnadron off
Santiago when tbe Spanish squad
rou attempted to escape ou tbe
morning ot July 3, 1898. Hq was
iu absolute command aud is enti
tled to the credit due to such com
manding officer for tbe glorious
victory which resulted in the total
destruction of the Spanish ships.

When the conclusions of Admir
al Dewey were read to him Ad
miral Scbley showed bis pleasure,
and it was evideut from bis man-
uer that % he regarded the state
ments from Ad miral ;l)ewey as a
vindication of bis course.
He decliued to make any state
ment concerning the court’s find
ings, and «excuaing himself from
the little company which had
gathered about him, went to his
apartments,where Mrs. Schley bad
been anxiously awaiting to hear
the court’s decision.
It is said at tbe Navy Depart
ment that there will be uo further
proceedings iu tbis celebrated case
on the department’s initiative.

And feel no twinge of sorrow
When his ship puts to ser; x
The ship that sails tomorrow
Sails soon enough for me.
For though my sun's declining
Behind yon hoary hill,
1 know that it is shining
Beyond the summit still;
And howaoe’er I sorrow
I know ’twill pass away—
God gives a g’ad tomorrow
For every sad today.
