Washington, June 8,1893.
There are reasons for ihe statement
that too many orders from Washington
are seriously hampering and delaying
our naval success in Cuban waters.
The Spanish fb'st would have been lo
cated several days earlier than it was
hud there been no orders from Wa-h-
ingtori. It was an order from Wash
ington that sent Admiral Sam;son to
take command of the blockading squad
ron otf Santiago de Cuba, after Com
modore Schley had run the game down
and was preparing to bag it. This
may not affect the lighting of the
squadron, but it certainly will not itx
crease its efficiency. Without pretend
ing to say which*of the two men is the
best to be in command, anyone can see
that justice would have allowed Schley,
who is in reality Sampson’s senior of.
ticer—they tire both Commodores,
Schley the senior, hut Sampson was
made acting admiral when the war be
gan—to have an spportunity to carry
out his plans and get all the glory he
could out of capturing or destroying the
Spanish fleet. Sampson was ordered
from Washington not to attack until
the army, which ought to be there by
this time, was landed to assist in tak
ing Santiago. It was this order that
caused Sampson to blockade the en
trance to the harbor', and thereby bring
about one ot the most heroic deeds of
the war—the sinking of the U. S. col
lier Merrimac in the channel at the
harbor entrance by a volunteer crew
under Lieut. Hobson. If lift couldn’t
go in after the Spanish tfeet, he wanted
to make sure that the Spanish fleet,
couldn’t get out it one ot the sudden
storms, trequent at this season in those
waters, should compel a temporary
withdrawal of his ships. Lieut. Hob
son and his brave crew, whose daring
deed is unsurpassed in naval history,
were till captured, but steps are being
taken to bring about their immediate
exchange for Spanish prisoners held
by this government. If the orders from
Washington are not for a pacific seige,
Gen. Shatter and his army and Ad
miral Sampson and his squadron ought
to be in possession ot the Spanish fleet,
or so much ot it as is afloat after the
assault, and of Santiago belore this
week is ended. They cannot, of course,
act contrary to their orders. It is
about time for Secretary Long to re
peat that tairy tale about Sampson and
Schley not being hampered by orders
from Washington.
Senator Morgan, of Ala., indulged
in some very plain talk, just alter the
Senate had by a vote ot 15 to 31 de
cided to put the clause for the issue of
bonds and certificates of indeptedness
back in the war revenue bill in place
of the clases . tpr the issue of
greenbacks, which was put in the bill
by the Senate Finance committee. He
declared that the national bank comoi-
nation, which he believed to be far
stronger in the matter of controlling
the destiny of the country than the
150,090 soldiers now in the field for
the U. S., was behind the conspiracy
to force a bond issue upon the people,
and that, no government has ever been
ridden by sucii an incubus as this, and
no government ought to yield to such
an imposition.” No surprise was caused
by the vote in the Senate, as it had
been a foregone conclusion from the
first. The democrats who voted tor
bonds were, Cattery,Faulkner, Gorman,
Gray, Lindsay, Mitchell, and Murphy.
The silver republicans voted solidly
against bonds; also the populists.
The bill, to permit volunteer soldiers
in the field to vote at Congressional
elections wherever they are stationed,
has been favorably reported to the
House, from the Elections committee.
The report says: “The justice and
propriety of permitting our citizen
soldiers in the field to exercise their
civil rights as voters during their mil
itary service will be conceded by all.
Our policy as a nation has been to call
on a citizen to perform duty as a sol
dier at any time when his services may
be needed. To deny him the right
to vote while performing such duty
would deprive many of the best of our
citizens of all participation in civil gov
ernment.”

have respect enough to refrain from
epithets. Now, sir, I have said noth
ing to offend that gentleman, and 1
have no apologies to make to him.”
Czar Heed decided to eat that hum
ble pie as privately as possible. In
order to avoid caucus action that every
body would recognize as a slap in his
face, he has promised to allow the
House to vote upon the resolution lor
the annexation of Hawaii during the
present week. It has been hinted,
however, that this concession isn’t as
great as it appears to be, and that Reed
held the House lip until a combination
had been arranged in the Senate that
will be strong enough to prevent the
Senate voting on the resolution before
adjournment. Mr. McKinley’s friends
are saying that if the Senate desn’t act.
he will, by seizing Hawaii as a war
measure.
.Higher Education.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.'
W e see no excuse for this evident
newspaper tendency to sneer at the
products of our higher education. Cer
tainly there is no sweeter creation on
earth than the “sweet girl graduate,”
and, though experience has amply de
monstrated that a collegiate education
is noti.bsolutely essential for success in
commercial life, it is undisputed that
an educated man in any walk of life is
better fitted to command success and
more like to do so than one who has
not enjoyed good educational advant
ages. Horace Greeley said: “An ig
norant man may become a fair black
smith or a carpenter; but I nm firmly
convinced that the man who has taken
a course ot eollegiate training can shoe
a horse or drive a nail better than one
who has not done so.”
Mr. T. Z. Noles, of Byrun, Ark.,
says: “My daughter had been chilling
about nine months and I had used four
different chill tonics according to
directions, and tliey did not cure. One
bottle of Ramon's Pepsin Chill Tonic
cured her. She has not chilled in
nearly three months. I bought two
more bottles and cured three cases of
chills with them. I am not willing to
be without Ramon’s Chill Tonic and
Pills.

A proverb is shservation anti reflec
tion put in n few words. It is wisdom
and prudence handed freely around to
every one. It is the common sense of
every'day observation and experience.
An expression may change the whole
current of one’s life. It is not the
man of books, one locked up in a
library, who gives to the world the
best and most pointed proverbs f ull of
wisdom, observation and experience.
Proverns are not born of thought, but
observation, for they are found among
those who are given more to observa
tion, and not reflection, though reflec
tion followsobservation.
The more a man reads the less he
thinks, and the less he is given to close
observation. He is a line and interest
ing retailer ot the thoughts of others.
The more slavish a man is to books,
the less originality he has. He is a
book worm, but not a book maker.
There are many times a wonderful
quantity of philosophy in a proverb, tor
it is truth, fact and reality all in one.
An old woman blessed with great faith,
who lived as it were on faith, said:
“Christ and a crust is enough for me.”
Resignation and contentment of faith
was her real happiness.
oxk’s calling
Has much to do witli his observa
tion, and no one would look for a sail
or’s proverb to be those of a landsman.
A hunter and a fisherman will both
draw from their callings, and so with
every one. A bee raiser would be
very apt to say about himself or an
other: “My head was as full ot thought
as a bee is of buzz.” A minister
would be very apt to say: “The Devil
is a busy bishop in his own diocese.”
Especially if he found it hard to till
his church on Sunday.
A father who had on hand some
half dozen grown daughters who lmd
been out in society for ten or fifteen
years, and to bear them talk about
men would be very apt to say: “A
house filled with daughters is a cellar
full of sour beer.” A young lady who
desires to make a fine oppearunce,
though she may be plain looking,
would say: “Fine leathers make fine
birds.” That is realiy the secret for
the love and display dress in woman.
Her real capital is-i finer looks and she
knows it. She kno#rf man’s admira
tion for beauty, artd she tries to look
well, to invite, to attract. It is not a
weak point in her character, but her
very nature, born within her as song is
in the mocking bird.
The man who is on the lookout for a
rich girl for a wife will say; “A girl
of money is sure to marry.” He
knows that money is the great attrac
tion with him, and will be so with oth
ers and that she will never wunt for
admirers, for rich girls desire love as
much as those who are poor.
The one who sits daily amid sorrow
and trouble will say: “The fewer my
years, the fewer my tears.” And he
who has known more of trouble,care and
sorrow, will say: “I wept when 1 was
born, and every day shows why.”
The close, penurious and selfish will
always give you: “Charity begins at
home.” The loafer, and one full of
good nature will say: “Take it easy
and live-long are brothers.” Worry
never wears out such characters.
Those who are called upon to sup
port or help the church, and who do so
reluctantly will say: “A priest’s pocket
is not easily filled,” or the “church is
always a chronic beggar.”
The poor man in court, without
money or friends, will say: “Laws
catch flies, but hornets go free;” or,
“As the man is friended, so the law is
ended,” The printers who were an
noyed by slow paying subscribers use
to say: “If he does not pay up, he will
soon see the Devil.” In those days
the “Printer's Devil” was sent out to
collect accounts.
He who waits upon himself, will say
“Self done is well done.” The self-
made man thinks and talks that way.
But no one ever saw a real self-made
man, who was not badly made in some
way. Success has spoilt many a so-
called self-made man, for he has grown
arrogant, self-inflated, proud and over
bearing in his nature. His idea of
merit is success like his own.
The money lender knows full well
that he “Who goes a borrowing, goes

The traveler will tell you: “Every
land has its own customs, and every
people their own proverbs.”

tell you: “As the old cock crows, the
young ones learn.” The power of ex
ample is there forcibly expressed. No
use to give the sons ptoiepts lat at

DECISION OF SUPREME COURT .
In the Prohibition Contest Case from
Baldwin County.
McMillan et al vs. Bell ordinary. Be
fore Judge Hart. Baldwin superior
c<5urt.
Fish, J.—1. When u petition such as
is authorized by section 154G of the
political Code, for the purpose of in
stituting a contest relating to an elec
tion concerning the sale of liquors, is
presented to a judge of the superior
court, it becomes his duly to grunt the
order provided for in that section, re
quiring three justices of the peace to
recount the ballots. Such order is in
dispensable to the further progress of
the case made by the petition; and if
the judge refuses to grant it, the case
is at an end and no further proceedings
therein can be lawfully had. This
being so, a refusal to grant such an
order is not a proper matter for an ex
ception pedente lite, but for direct ex
ception within the time prescribed by
law for bringing final judgments to this
court for review.
2. While the above seems to be
clear, the section mentioned is in
ether respects involved in so much* ob
scurity and uncertainty that it is difi.
cult, if not impossible, to ascertain its
true intent and meaning; and beyond
doubt it greatly needs legislative re
vision.
Judgment affirmed. All concurring.
