course, others In tho naval list who rank
higher as Arctic explorers, and for whom
no vote of thanks has ever been proposed.
Even IL Commander Schley's Arctic
service had eclipsed that of all other naval
officers many Of his associates would be
disposed to question his right to vote Of
thanks, claiming that the award Of such an
honor to an officer for other service than
gallantry in time Of war tends to de-
crease its value and significance.
In the .entire history of the Government
but three naval officers have received the
thanks of Congress for service rendered
otherwise than in the presence of the
enemy. The three exceptions are Captain
Ingraham, who rescued an American citi-
zen from an Austrian man.of war under
threats Of firing upon the vessel IL his dc.
mand was not complied with; Captain
Ringgold, who rescued the line.of-battlo-
ship Vermont and also saved crew Of five
hundred marines from drowning in sink
ing transport, and Captain Dahlgren, who
received the thanks of Congress for efficient
engineering services during the late war.
On only thirty-three occasions has Con-
gress recognized the bravery or efficiency
of naval officers, and with these three ex-
ceptions the thanks were in each case COM
memorative of some great and perilous
achievement in war The list, beginning
with a recognition of Commodore Truxton's
victories in 1900, and embracing Decatur's
and Probles gallantry at Tripoli; Perry's
and McDonough's victories on Lake Eric
and Lake Champlain Commodore Patter-
sons defense of New Orleans, in 1915, and
naval zeal and courage during the Mexican
and late wars.
No naval officer can hope or wish for
greater honor than that his name be added
to this list. No richer gift is within the
power of Congress to confer.

How They Made UP Their LIttie
Differences.
As stated in The Critic, the trouble be-
tween Mcssrs. Cox and PoseY, tho belliger-
ent editors, grew out of newspaper con-
troversy. The controversy led to chal-
leDge, the challenge led to an acceptance
and the acceptance led to no duel, but q
mutual retraction. Editor POsey, in tho
Port Tobacco Independent, criticised q jol-
hhcation meeting hold by the Democrats.
Editor Cox in the Port Tobacco Times re-
taliated by oriticising an editorial sentence
in the Independent and offering f25 to any
teacher or pupil in the public schools who
could construe, analyze and parse the sem
tence. The Independent said the Times was an
indecent and slanderous sheet" The Times
charged the Independent with "nonsenslca
and untruthful vaporing," and declared
that so deplorable is the ignorance aud so
execrably bad the taste and manners with
which IL is conducted that ID is rendered
powerless to do any harm to the commu-
nifty" Then the Independent used the
words hound and skunk" and the editor
of the Times sent the editor of the hide
pendent the challenge.
Mr.. Willis, who was editor Posey's friend
in the affair. will have card in this week S

Mr.. Posey did not falter in the whole af-

Tho Yore OF Thanks.

Among naval officers who concede that
Commodore Schley and the officers and mon
Of his gallant and successful expedition de-
serve high praise for their efficiency,
bravery and untring energy in the cause of
humanity and relief to the outcasts starry
ing and freezing at Cape Sabine, there is a
very pronounced and noticeable opposition
10 the proposed recognition Of those services
by Congressional vote Of thanks.
This honor, the greatest which the
United States Government can confer
upon an officer, has never in the history of
the Nation been awarded to naval off
Ger for Arctic service, and the conierring
Of such exalted commendation upon the
relief party Of 1884 would, it is asserted,
involve gross injustice to the naval heroes
who have in tho past suffered greater de.
privation and shown equal courage aud
skill in the performance of duty in the
highest latitudes.
1t is asserted that Captain Greer, in the
Tigress, when in search Of the Polaris ;
Captain Wadleigh, in the Alliance, when
going to the relief Of the Jeanette party,
and Commander Wildes, in the Yantc,
when in search Of Greedy aud his mon all

EFFORTS to create sensation out of the
affecting, 1t is said, the District to the ex-
tent of several million dollars have proved
fruitless. The Commissioners, it seems, re-
Gently learned of a bill before Congress af-
iecting the District, which, If made law,
would take about 100000 out of the Dis
trict Treasury. The bill provides that any
contract, written or oral, made by the
Board of Public Works or any member
thereof shall be held to be valid contract.
The contracts, in question are for Improve
ments of streets, avenues, etc.
The bill was introduced Ia June 30 last,
and was never referred to the Commission
ers.
Tho Commissioners have informed Mr.. J.
s. Barbour, of tho District Committee, that
the case, and at the same time they pro-
test against its becoming law. Commis-
sioner Lydecker has written to the House
committee explaining the great wrong that
would be done the District if the bill
should be passed.
Colonel Robert Chrlsty and Mr.. Z. B..
Hay, attorneys for some of the contractors
who have claims against the District, sent a
communication to the Commissioners yes
terday. They state that they are confident
that the Commissioners misunderstood the
bill. They ask for the privilege of an in-
terview before any official communication
is sent out from their Office touching the
bin. They state also that the bill was pre-
pared after repeated discussion, and while
it is designed to do partial justice to the
contractors it protects the interests of the
General aud District governments.
The letter says tho contractors had to
furnish material for identifying the Capt.
tai of the Nation at their own expense, and
were paid in certificates SO worthless that
they were only worth about half their face
value. They ask that their clients be paid
the face value of the certificates.

REPREsENTATIvE REAGAN, after many
long years and the most persistent fighting,
has seen his Interstate Commerce bill go
through the House. He has right to feel
as happy as boy with new pair OF boots
The bill, which has for its main object the
prevention of unjust discrimination by
railroads in hauling freight, has many
good features. Some of its features are
sharply criticised. The bill grew mainly
out of complaints of farmers who have to
ship their produce over the railroads
Other interests came in and tho anti
railroad sentiment helped no little. That
there is need of railroad Iegislation there is
no doubt. That the Senate will consider
the Reagan bill the proper kind of railroad
legislation Is so very doubtful that the pre-
diction that the bill will not pass to-day
is almost certain of fulflllment.

THE CRIMINAL COURT.

THE CRIMINAL COURT
We reached Charing Cross at o'clock on
the morning of September 20. The first
train by which we could get to Tewnham
was timed to leave Liverpool street at seven,
so that we had an hour or two to spare for
such refreshment as we cared to take, such
rest as we dared to allow ourselves. What
with the fatigue of continuous travel, and
the dread of what this day was to bring
FORTH it may be easily believed that We We're
thoroughly worn out. We were, indeed,
more fitted to go to bed and sleep for a week
than to proceed upon the last stage of our
dismal journey,
But there was no help FOR it. If we meant
to be in time we must go on by the early
morning train. I begged my wife to lie
down, and endeaEor to snatch an hours
sleep. She refused firmly. Much of that
calm which had chara cterized her since the
moment when I broke the fatal news to her
had vanished. Its place was now taken by
an excitement, suppressed, but nevertheless
clearly manifest to my eyes. The fear that
we should not reach Tew1rham in time for
the trial seemed to haunt her increasingly.
1t was for this reason she So p remptorily
refused to lie down and court sleep She
feared lest, our eyes once closed, we should,
from sheer exhaustion, sleep for hours, and
SO miss the morning train. She was ever

THE LAST HOPE.

They were sitting in the courtyard, my
mother and my wife. They looked the en-
bouiment of serene happiness: Their large
ration to Philippe, my mother acquired it
after much practice languldly waving
to and fro. Philippa's rounded arm was
outstretched her fair left hand was in the
clear water which fell from the fountain
and filed white marble basin. in which
the gold carp darted about in cratic tacks.
She was moving her fingers gently backward
and forward, startling the timid fish, and
half smiling at their terror. 1t seemed to
me that my mother was demonstrating at
the uproar she was creating in the brilliant
coated republic.
