certificate ot of competency in seamanship before receiving his hi ia last 8 t appointment he bad taken the oath ot of allegiance as an american citizen inthis if this is a trae true record the subject of it certainly bears the ear marks of an honest man and the name of EJ ward chapman should be honored of all men no matter what the drowned earl might have been before be wae was edward chapman bat edys an anglo democrat of 0 some note in aking of the incident 1 11 I think the jaet fact Is I 1 not dot kemem berd in thi this country that george gora gordon 0 D learl of aberdeen ur the elder older brother of t the he erl earl ot of aberdeen who I 1 S now traveling lat in the tho united efte chaee the common winmon american s llor allor in preference to the durd lint existence ot of member ot of the english nobility neowe no we do not believe that any such thing is known generally or otherwise if it was we could not respect this ellor sailor earl with anything like the admiration with which we had begun to think ot of him to believe that the earl of aberdeen chose the life of 0 a bailor sailor which of 0 all human conditions ia Is the most subservient and menial with ith no other reason than that customary existence in english earldom was dawdling we should be ca compelled to regard him as simply of unsound mind we prefer to believe that in hia his callow youth he had been led into the depraving and dawdling habits of life that prevail among the englishmen of bis his order and in graduating in 1 this department of an earls education he bad had squandered hia his fortune and when bard times had reduced him to the level of a common nuisance and a disgrace to hia his friends and his country and deprived him utterly of any power to benefit himself himsel for or mankind through thein the influences fluen ces of his high birth be he bad finally come to bia his senses and with the manly spirit that through it all had bad not been entirely burned ont out of him had bad determined to retrieve hie his manhood with the last and only chance left in this light he be becomes a nobleman to whom the greatest of the earth may do honor with becoming comin grace ggrace betit but it is not only contrary to every precedent of human nature foraman for a man with the manifest intelligence and force of manhood possessed by this sailor earl to seek in preference the occupation of a men menial fal bat but it is against common sense in any way it can be viewed the true course for a man with the blood the spirit and the resources of a true nobleman is to take advantage of bis his opportunities to advance not only himself but bat all in whom he is interested inthe in the scale of manhood if be he is born in a dawdling sphere of existence to come out of it as quickly as possible but abandon his power of usel usefulness alness never not in the smallest degree whatever will assist him in the doing of good is not dawdling and to assume that as an american sailor be he had greater facilities tor for the exercise of true manhood than as an english peer is the climax of absurdity unexplained the record of edward chapman contains much that is admirable but in the light of the explanation that hie his americanian american panegyrist vouchsafes he must be regarded as a poor mistaken fool who threw throw away hie his opportunities unities A SALT LAKE paper
