OPENING THE HEHAIjD'S EYES.
Our Democratic neighbor, in Its eagerness to smite
the Republican ex-President, leaves out of view certain
conditions that frequently exist In army operations, and
the historical facts relating to the operations of Roose
Yolt's "Rough Riders" In Cuba. First, when the com
mander of any military organization Is absent, from
any cause, the ranking officer present acts in his place.
Hence, it is no unusual thing for a lieutenant, or a
sergeant, to be in temporary command of a company,
a Houtenant-coloncl, major, or captain, in a command
of a regiment, a colonel or other field officer, in com
mand of a brigade. Next, as a matter of history, at the
engagement referred to, Col. Wood, as ranking officer,
was in 'command of the brigade, which consisted of the
Rough Riders, and ine 1st and 10th U. S. cavalry; and
thi3 necessarily left lieutenant-colonel Roosevelt, as
ranking officer, in command of his regiment.
THE 15TH CAMI'FIKE.
It has been our good fortune to attend a number
of gatherings of various kinds during the short span
of our life thus far, but We can truthfully say that
never have we been so thrilled and touched by any
spectacle whatsoever as the G. A. R. campilre Monday
evening in celebration of the forty-fifth anniversary
of the closing of the Civil War.
It was a delightful inspiring occasion and we take
this occasion to thank Commander Judge Henry Wil
son of the Capt. James Ham Post, No. 19S, G. A. R.,
for affording us the honor and privilege of being pres
ont. The speeches of Judge Wilson and Homer Greene,
which The Citizen publishes exclusively, were beyond
compare while the extemporaneous talk of Michael
.1. Hanlan was worth traveling many miles to hear.
Civil War veterans never grow old. Their age

UNITED States of America.

THE TRAGEDY AT THItOOI'.
Of the 1 20b miners who left their homes last Fri
day morning for the day's work in the Pancoast col
liory, seventy-six will never return.
The Alabama disaster Saturday numbered 200
rlctlms. To-morrow wo may hear of another disaster
and another terrible death list, and yet beyond the Im
mediate raising of relief funds for the stricken famil
ies, It is extremely doubtful if anything will be done
to prevent the occurrence of such disasters in the
future.
In all probability such disasters can never be pre
vented. Catastrophes aro bound to occur from time to
time but by wise legislative regulation and ENFORCE
MENT OF SUCH LEGISLATION, the chances of the
ccurrance of such calamities can be reduced to a
minimum.
In- this case a stato investigation will probably be
started at the Instigation of Governor Toner. Another
BYestigatlon will be made by the chief state mine In
spector. Still another Investigation by the grand Jury
will no doubt bo gotten under way. It would seem as
If the old fable of stable door and the stolen horse
will never be fully learned and taken advantage of
mo matter how often and how forcibly It presents it
self to view. It would seem as if the proposition
of so plain and common sense a character as to make
it almost silly to call attention to It that all businesses,
occupations or work of any kind whatsoever which In
volves danger to the lives of those who work therein,
should be thoroughly investigated before a disaster
takes place had never been conceived. Perhaps some
day it may become customary to study dangerous oc
cupations carefully with a view to taking all tho pre
ventative steps that human brains can conceive or hu
man skill oxecute before a terrible calamity occurs
which will render those samo steps obligatory after
ward. That day Is far In tho future no doubt but we
havo faith that It may yet como to pass.
In tho meanwhile instead of Innumerable separate
Investigations let one comprehenslvo inqury he started
Into the Throop disaster that will fix the blame whero
It belongs; that will procure the necessary legislation
for preventing, as far as possible, such disasters in the
future and that will provide some means of lmmodlato
and permanent rellof for tho families of the unfortun
ate victims.

THE SENATE AND THE SCHOOL CODE.
Tho School Code is now before the Senate. Tho
House has passed it, not without considerable altera
tion but still much less than was anticipated, and
has washed Its hands of tho entire affair. It is dis
tinctly the business of the Senate to avoid delay and
pass the bill.
The bill represents the best efforts of tho commis
sion appointed to examine into existing conditions and
draw up a measure wheh will aid in establishing a
regular school system which at present is woefully
lacking. Unless a legislator has studied tho question
with the same care as the commission, wo cannot see
how his casual suggestions will benefit tho measure.
Too many changes will spoil a bill Just as too many
cooks will spoil tho broth. Wo trust that this meas
ure may pass the Senato without further alterations,
remembering that two years ago Governor Stuart
was compelled to veto tho school code because the
legislators had altered, changed, and revised it so com
pletely. And 'the sooner tho Senate passes It tho bettor
will everybody be pleased.
"PASSING ON" THE BEGGAR.
The beggar long ago discovered that a ticket to
some other place whero ho can trouble us no more is
tho thing above all others which we give with the great
est cheerfulness to the applicant for aid. As a result an
agency In a railroad town out of a total relief expendi
ture of $300 a year used $240 for railroad tickets to
near-by communities.
The officials of neighboring places returned the
compliment. All were busily giving transportation to
meet the demand which they themselves had created by
"passing on" tho procession of charity-rate travellers.
"What else could they do?" Surely something better
than this.
Over 400 public and prlvato agencies rofuse to
buy railroad tickets for applicants except straight
through to destination and then only to those who will
bo better off there.
The adoption of this rule in one city reduced to
one-half the amount spent for railway tickets. How
badly some sano method of regulating tjie evil of "pass
ing on" Is needed, Is shown by an Instance given by
Mary E. Richmond in Tue Survey.
"A feoble-fhlnded woman, young and good-looking,

again and was again returned this second timo In the
custody of the county clerk. Such Interests aro not un

South Carol I mi Makes Demands.
South Carolina, upon adopting Its
Ordinance of Secession, had sent
three Commissioners to Washington
to negotiate for the adjustment of
Its new rotations, as a "Sovereign
State," with the Federal Govern
ment, which had, it contended, aris
en through its withdrawal from the
Union; and lat,er, tho government of
tho "Confederate States" had sent
Commissioners for a like purpose.
But tho Federal Government had re
fused to recognize the demands of
either the Stato or the Confederate
Government, or to hold official com
munication with their commissioners
in relation to thoso demands.
Tho United States forts at Charles
ton were Forts Moultrie, Sumter,
Johnson, and Castle Pinckney. Fort
Moultrie stood on Sullivan's Island,
on the northern side of the harbor
entranco. It was of little strength,
and was untenable against an at
tack from the landward side. Fort
Sumter was built on a shoal in the
harbor, about half a mile from
its mouth, and about 1,600 yards
west of Fort Moultrlo. It had been
for several years in course of con
struction, and was not yet complet
ed. Both forts wero about four
miles from Charleston. Fort John
son was on James Island, about 2,
300 yards west of Fort Sumter.
It was unoccupied, and in a ruinous
condition. Castle Pinckney stood In
tho harbor, about a mile southeast
of Charleston. Its only garrison
was one officer, with his family, and
It was of no importance In the pend
ing operations. Tho federal force in
Forts Moultrie and Sumter consisted
of Companies E and H of the 1st ar
tillery, commanded by Major Robert
Anderson.
Fort Sumter Occupied.
On tho night of December 26,
lf!60, Major Anderson transferred
the garrison of Fort Moultrie to Fort
Sumter, with all tho munitions and
supplies which he had the means of
transporting. For tho next three
months and upward he did all that
was practicable to put the fort in
good condition for defense. Mean
time the secession forces took posses
slon of Castle Pinckney and Forts
Moultrlo and Johnson, materially
strengthened the two forts, and
armed them with heavy guns and
mortars. At Cummings Point, on
Morris Island, on the southern side
of tho harbor entrance, opposite Fort
-Moultrie, and about 1,300 yards
rrom i"ort Sumter, they placed two
powerful batteries, one of which.
with a roof sloping toward Fort
Sumter, and covered with railroad
iron, was known as tho "Iron Bat-
tory." A iloating battery, with a
similar roof, was placed at tho west
ern end of Sullivan's Island, and at
other points on tho island, facing
Fort Sumter, were live more batter
ies. Tho entire armament of the se
cession works consisted of 30 heavy
guns and 17 8-inch and 10-inch
mortars, supported by about 6.000
men. In Fort Sumter only twenty-
one guns eoum bo brought into ac
tion, four of which wero forty-two
pounders, and the residue thirty-
cwo pounuers. tho garrison consist
ed of nine commissioned officers,
sixty-eight non-commissioned offi
cers and privates, eight of tho regi
mental band, and forty-three labor
ers, most or whom aided in carrying
ammunition during the bombard
ment. Tho First Secession Shot.
After some inconclusive negotia
tions for the surrender of the fort,
Gen. Beauregard, commander of tho
secession forces, gave Major Ander
son written notice, at 3:20 a. m. on
April 12th, that his batteries would
open on tho fort in one hour. In
his official report, Gen. Beauregard
says: "Tho signal shell was ilred
from Fort Johnson at 4:30 a. m. At
about flvp o'clock the flro from our
batteries became genoral. Captain
George S. James, commanding at
Fort Johnson, had the honor of fir
ing the first shell at Fort Sumter."
Edmund Ruffin, a Virginian of some
distinction, is sometimes referred to
as havinK fired the first shot: hut
this is a mistake. Mr. Ruffin. who
was an ardent secessionist, visited
Columbia when tho South Carolina
Convention mnt nnnnmliof 17 1 Ban
and at a public meeting made a
speech urging Immedlato secession.
Though near his sixty-eighth year he
Joined the "Palmetto Guards," of
Charleston. This company was sta
tioned at tho "Iron Battery," from
which flro was opened on Fort Sum
ter at 4:4R n m nn Anrll lotv.

Tho Defense of Tho Fort.
At seven a. m. Fort Sumter be
gan to reply to the secession batter
ies, ine nrst snot was tired at the
Iron Battery, by Capt. Abner Double
day, commanding Company E, 1st
artillery. Tho garrison was divided
Into 3 reliefs, each of which served
tho guns for two hours. With this
small force, the firing was soon con
fined to six guns, directed chiefly to
ward tho Iron Battery, Fort Moul-'
trie, and tho other works on Sulli-I
van's Island, including tho floating
battery. Tho metal, however, was
too light to do material damage, ex
cept to tho barracks, quarters andj
embrasures of Fort Moultrlo. '
The contest continued until the
afternoon of April 13th. Tho bar
racks and officers' quarters in tho fort
were several times set on ilro by ;
bursting shells and red-hot shot, and
though tho ilames wero extinguished
several times they finally gained
such volume that it was found im
possible to check them. Tho garri
son suffered much from tho heat, '
smoke and flying cinders, and it be
came necessary to close tho maga
zines to prevent the ilre from reach
ing it. At the same timo, hunger 1
began to staro tho defenders of the
fort in tho face. Their provisions
were reduced to a few barrols of salt
pork, and at breakfast on tho 13th .
the pork had been supplemented
With their last ration of rice. To
ward evening on the 13th, a flag of
tuco was sent by Gen. Beauregard,
and by eight o'clock terms of sur
render were agreed on. At noon on
April 14th, tho American Hag wa3
lowered, with a salute of artillery,
and at four o'clock a secession gar
rison took possession.
On the afternoon ot April 12th,
part of a relief expedition which had
been sent from New York- appeared
off the harbor. As planned, the ex
pedition was to consist of tho sloops-of-war
Pawnee, Powhatan and Poca
hontas, the revenue cutter Harriet
Lane, three transports, with sup
plies, and about eight hundred
troops, and two tugs. But only tho
Pawnee and the Harriet Lane, with
the transport Baltic, reached the
mourn ot tue naruor, and it was
deemed impracticable to land at tho
fort under the fire of tho secession
batteries. On April 15th Major An
derson and his command were trans
ferred from tho fort to tho Baltic
by tho South Carolina steamer Isa
bel, and sailed for New York. As
the steamer passed Cummings Point,
the secession soldiers stationed
there lined the beach, silent, and
with heads uncovered, as a mark of
respect to the defenders of tho fort.
Tho Casualties.
The most remarkable feature of
the bombardment was that no one
was killed. In Fort Sumter, the
casemates formed a substantial pro
tection; but a sergeant and three
men wore injured by flying frag
ments of an embrasure which had
been struck by a shot from Cum
mings Point and a civilian em
ployee was severely wounded by
pieces of a bursting shell. Lleut.
Col. R. S. Ripley, the South Carolina
artillery commandant on Sullivan's
Island, reported "four slight casual
ties," and Gen. Beauregard reported
the same loss as "but four slightly
wounded." In saluting tho flag at
Fort Sumter, after the surrender,
"one man was Instantly killed, one
mortally and four severely wounded,
by the premature discharge of a gun
and explosion of a pile of cart
ridges," as reported by Capt. Foster,
of the Engineer Corps.
Thus the opening victory was won
for slavery. But after a war of four
years, of a magnitude unparalleled
in human history, slavery, and the
pestilential brood which It had
begotten, nulllilcation, secession,
rebellion, treason, wore in one red
burial blent, never again, to rise.
