THE unanimous opinion of naval of- iicials is that cadets who are appoint ed to the naval academy as the result of competitive examinations do not make as good officers as those appoint ed by selection. The competitive ex- animation determines scholarship On- ly; but executive command demands numerous other qualifications that are not brought out by the examina- tion. The appointing power which selects without the schoolmaster's ex- animation rarely fails to take into consideration those other qualifica- tions. Yet frequently the youth who possesses them cuts but sorry figure in competitive examination. Many who possess book learning galore, and can tell it as easily as ducks back sheds water, lack the first and most essential requisite for commanding of self. Some of the greatest commanders, of both naval and land forces, the United States has possessed would have been barred out of the academy by compe- titiye examinations. Both Grant and Sheridan would have been shut out. In the academy they were both rated low; but on the scroll of great achieve ments they outrank all their cadet comrades.

it thinks no candidate for any office or anything except Bensonl ever aspires for election by the people with a good, square hankering after the emol- uments. Of course it is the improve ment in their condition and situation that the county seat would bring to the people of Benson, that they have in view when they present the propo- sition for an election, just as it was the salary and fees in the sheriff's of- flee that the present incumbent had in view when he presented himself for nomination and election. But after he presented himself he first conyinc- ed his party convention that he was the best man for the place, and then he likewise, convinced majority of the electors. Now how supremely sil- ly it would have been for the News to have opposed his election on the ground that the salary and fees were the underlying motive" which induc- ed him to run for office. And it is just as silly for the News to cry out underlying motive" in the instance of Benson's candidacy for the county seat as it would have been to have raised the same cry two years ago against the election of Scott White. Of course the underlying motive of the promoters" of the Benson proposi- tion is their own gain; but they are prepared to demonstrate that it will be for the benefit of the people of the county and it's taxpayers to vote the removal.

aoIvE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.


 Substitute preacher for the third word in the above quotation caption, and the motive of this article will be more plainly apparent. This refiec- tion is brought out by the following from the Tucson Star:
 Rev. Myron Reed of Denver, like a good many ministers who endeav0r to make up for lack of ability by dis play of senSatiOnalism, has declared that he is an anarchist, and denounces the interference with union strikers. Reed is mounteback of the worst type as any resident of Denver knows too well. He is the last man to sub init whole skin to the chance of scratch.
 Now, while TIE OASIS approves but little of what Reverend Myron Reed utters, it's editor knows him personal ly and wishes to offer this protest against any such slights and slurs thrown at him as the silly screed of the Star. Myron Reed is a capable. scholarly man, whose erudition and oratory have captivated the people of more than one metropolis of the Unit ed States. Why, the democratic par ty of Colorado thought so much of him that in 1886 or 1888, it nominated him for congress, and came very near electing him. He ran far ahead of his ticket, against very popular repub- lican.
 As for his personal courage-that is established beyond cavil CT question. Before he was of age subject to mili- tary duty he enlisted as defender of his country, and through four years of effective and capable service he fought his way to captains commis- sion. When mustered out he was one of the youngest commissioned officers in the army. Against such man and such record the Star should keep si- lent, or utter the truth.

TIE debate in the senate on the re- fusal of the house to accept the sem ate amendments to the tariff bill is wonderfully interesting and amusing reading. Senator Hill defending and supporting the presidents position is both remarkable and interesting, while the felicitations of Senator Vest that the two have common ground on which to stand, are no less amusing. Beside several other senators on that side of the senate uttered some very pungent and amusing sayings.
