The court martial trial Of DR.. Kershner
is ended and the result Of it looked for
with unusual interest, particularly in ma
val circles. The charge against DR.. Kersh-
ner is perjury but there is ground for
suspicion that the real animus of the pro-
ceeding is to be found in letters to per-
sonal friends in which he intimated that
Admiral Meade was crazy.
The charge OF perjury is based upon
testimony given by Or. Kershner before
court Of inquiry on board the cruiser
New York, off Jamaica, in the early par;
of last April At that inquiry DR..
Kershner, it is alleged. was asked II he
was the source Of certain publications rel
alive to naval matters, and it is claimed
that his answer was such as to justify
bringing the charge of perjury against
him.
Whether the charge is well-founded or
not, it is certain that there was bad feel
ing between Admiral Meade, who had
command of the fleet of which DR.. Kersn-
ner was an officer, and the doctor, and
that the doctor wrote a letter to Surgeon
General Tryon. in which he said he hated
the admiral worse than he hated the
devil, and that if conditions were no.
soon changed he would be as crazy as the
admiral He declared in that letter that
the admiral was unfit for the position he
held
1t is pretty safe to say that Admiral
Meade has a sharp and bitter tongue and
that he takes offense easily. His attack,
upon the administration justifes this
opinion. From publication made by the
navy department 1t doesn't appear that
he had any reason for speaking of the
administration as he did, though it is
probable he thought he had been sighted.
The outcome of the Kershner court
martial win not have any effect upon the
course of the administration toward Ad-
miral Meade, who has declined to saw.
in answer to a question of the Secretary
of the Navy. whether or not he author
lied the statements condemning the ad-
ministration which appeared in the news
papers as coming from him. 1t may turn
that he will be dealt with much more
severely for his rash utterances than DR..
Kershner will be on the perjury charge.
Since the repeal of the Sherman silver
purchase law and the passage of the new
tariff bill. nearly 100000 employees of manu-
featuring companies have had their wages
raised. This is by actual count kept by
a New York newspaper 1t is impossible
to say how many formerly
idle worlingmen have returned
to work at living wages dur
ing the same period, but they probably
number great many more than those
who have had their wages raised. There
may be room for controversy as to the
cause Of the returning of prosperity, but
there is no room to doubt that it is re-
turning. And there is no prospect of free.
unlimited and independent coinage Of
silver at the ratio of l6 to l.

1t will be a bad day for the Spanish

Republicanism in Louisiana.
Under the head Light in Lou
isiana" the New York Recorder of
the 14th instant published the
subjoined editorial.
Our sister Southern State of
Louisiana is wheeling into line in
the Republican column.
According to the latest dispat-
ches the Republican party there
and the Populists have made an
alliance against the Bourbon De-
mOcracy that has so long controll-
ed that State. If they stand to-
gether they will win, and Louisi-
ana will be the first State of all
the Southern States to cross the
line and abandon the economic
policies and traditions that have
held the South in economic thral-
dom.
Populism in the South is q pro-
test against Democracy. 1t is a
protest against the exploded free
trade doctrines and teachings OF
John c. Calhoun. The interests
of the South are the interests OF
the North. And the interests Of
North and South are Identical
America for Americans.
North and South, East and
West, the fundamental basis Of
the prosperity and the supremacy
of the republic is laid on Repu'
blican lines, and on those lines
and those alone can we win ano
hold our own.
| The Recorder is never lengthy
in it's editorials, but it always
manages to say something. Tha
the disaffection of which it speak,
does exist in Louisiana no one no
of the mendacious or ignoran
class will deny. The people ART
