I Cotton is still going gradually lower and tbe farmers have all put on their guessing caps. These balmy days must have their effect upon the candidates as we hear nothing from them. Senator Tillman's speech on the methods of Roosevelt will be good material for campaign purposes. The iirst act of Judge DeVore says the Orangeburg Times-Democrat was to graut bail to a negro who had kill ed another negro Til's is a bad start for the new Judge. The Augusta Chronicle says "it is now said that ninety per cent of the Democrats in Congress are against J Mr. Bryan." This sounds like oue of the New Yoik World's yarns. 41 We shall enter Magdaletia Bay in the morning. Ships and men are all in better condition than on leaving Hampton Roads. Target practice will begin immediately. The squadron is ready to go anywhere on any ' V-'.S I!'' ft '( I I ? ed 1 V.di ir. 'j ]'/ hi oijuauioii uu tuc coast 01 Mexico on Wednesday n'ght. It was a striking commentary on the inefliciency of the Navy" cf which so much has been beard in the past few months. The battleships have practically finished a their round-the-hemisphere cruise; d they have covered a little over 10,000 * miles of the 1 4,000 mile run r rum V/-.r_ I folk to San Fra::clsco and made the last and longest leg of the trip from _ Callao to Magdalena Hay just about four days inside the schedule time. |P| And as Admiral Evans reports, they tJjj have not heated a crank-pin and are ready to go into action at once if JLjj necessary. A record? Well, yes, Pi somewhat, thank you! JO This was the cruise that when it j^| was projected was looked upon in JL| many quarters as an almost impossible undertaking. To Admiral Evans eJ goes much of the credit, for he was Pi the otllcer commanding and to him iyj would have fallen the blame had anything gone wrong. At tlie same time jjy| the Admiral was sick in his cabin the Pi greater part of the trip and the credit ||J must also go largely to the individual |j^| captains and crews. So much for the mechanical side of the expedition. But it is no less to J^L the credit of the squadron (and this ^^1 touches every oilieer and enlisted man) that the vessels were welcomed and % feted at every port where they stop- ^ ped, entertained with all sorts of ^ functions from bieakfasts to bull 1 fights and receptions to car rides and ^ out of the 20,000 men, all of whom had ? shore liberty at one time or another: there was not a case of disorderly behavior and the oiliccrs and crews left MB clean records and a friendly rernem- fl| brance with the authorities and the fl| the public at every port they touched, f- ^ The cruise has shown the South H American republics more of the sea- H power of the United State* than the) ($9 have ever seen before, more than the) H have ever seen of any other country in H fact. International friendships have ever been cemented all around the southern continent. Perhaps some fl day we shall need them and if wc do, gtt it will be well worth the expenditure.
