No doubt Admiral Meade committed
a breach of discipline when he publicly
denounced the administration and
Technically. therefore. the Presidents
reprimand was deserved. But the Ad-
mirars offense lay only in talking.
There are many officers in the navy
who hold the same opinion of the adj
ministration that he expressed. Nor
does this argue disloyalty to the gov
eminent. An army or navy officer may
be perfectly loyal to the flag and yet
in his heart despise the policy of timid
or trucking administration. In fact,
the. very ardency of his patriotism may
cause this feeling.

New York Presbyterian minister
preached a sermon, last Sunday. condemn
ing the riding of bicycles on the sabbath
day" He thinks the wheel itself is lone
of Gods instruments given to man for his
pleasure. and it is strange that man turns
this instrument against Cod by taking
his pleasure on Sunday. What he thinks the
owners of wheels should do is to spend at
least a part of the holy day in thanking
the Lord on their knees for the possession
of the treasures. Bicyclists will perhaps
consider this advice, d-perhaps-follow
it, though the minister does not explain
how the people who have no leisure save
on Sunday are to get any enjoyment out
of their wheels if they spend the day on
their knees in prayer. Preachers. as we'll
as other folks. must adapt themselves TO
changing conditions, and there is room to
suspect that this one has fallen behind the

DowNED BY HIS ENEMIES

Smiths Suspension
Now That The Mischief Is Wrought They
Admit the Falsehood of All
Their Charges

The Rev. G. H. W. Smith, whose ad-
ventures and misfortunes were related in
Sundays Herald, yesterday Indignantly
denied that he is negro. Yet his hair is
kinky, his skin as dark as that of a
Sambo, his fold, before the African M. E.
Zion Church Conference closed him out of
business for one year, was colored and his
wife and his associates are all of African
descent. Nevertheless he considers the
word negro applied to him as an insult
The Rev. G. II. W. Smith positively de-
nies that his VEINS contain single drop
of African blood, but he vehemently and
loudly maintains that he is the descend
ant of a Cherokee Indian chief on the one
side and proud Scots on the other
There were new developments in his
case yesterday which seem to indicate
that he has to some extent been the vic
tim OF jealousy and spite on the part of
enemies, and that his suspension was the

subject in which the fruit-shippers of
Southern California are deeply inter-
ested will soon be Investigated by the
State Board OF Railroad Commissioners.
1t will embrace an investigation into
freight rates ON California fruits and the
royalties charged for the use of patent re-
frigerating devices used in transportation.
resolution was adopted last week by
the Assembly that reads as follows:
Whereas, 1t is very commonly under
stood that very large proportion of the
charges incident to Transportation are oc-
casioned by the use of patented devices for
the preservation of such shipments, and
that the amount paid for the use OF such
patented devices is greatly in excess of a
reasonable return to the owners of such de-
vices; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Railroad
Commissioners of the state OF California
be requested to report to this Assembly,
within ten days from this date, a de-
tailed statement of the rates charged for
the transportation of the products of the
state of California TO the Eastern and
other markets; and that they advise this
Assembly what devices are used and the
additional cost of transportation occa-
stoned by the use of such devices for the
transportation of fruit, and to report
whether or not it is possible to provide
for the use of equally satisfactory devices
or plans at greatly reduced rates, and that
they give the Assembly such other infor-
nation as may enable it to initiate such
legislation as will relieve the industries of
this state in the greatest degree possible
and that the chief clerk of this House be
instructed to transmit a copy of this res
olution to the Board of Railroad Commits
sioners forthwith. -
In accordance with this resolution the
investigation will be commenced by the
Railroad Commissioners next Monday.
The railroad companies have been re-
quested to furnish the necessary data and
the fruit shippers in this seetiou may be
able to forward some valuable statistics
to the comm issioners.
Commissioner Stanton stated to an Ex-
aminer reporter that the desired informa-
ton would be secured as far as possible
and forwarded TO the Assembly in the
period desired 1t appeared to him,

of the Railroad Commission and the State

sion and Congress. AS to the matter of
patented devices for the preservation of
shipments OF fruits and vegetables, he
said expert testimony would have to be
called. Even then-and Commissioner
Clark who'was standing by, agreed with
hint would be difficult and probably
dangerous to report whether or not it is
possible to provide for the use of equally
satisfactory devices or plans at greatly

outcome of a conspiracy to hound him
out of his job.
The Reverend Smith had in his posses.
sion yesterday a paper signed by Paul
Brown, Miss Maggie landy, Mary Leonard,
Mrs. Mary Mclaughlin and Mrs. Thomas
Landy, which was sworn to on that same
day before L. f. King, notary public.
This statement he forwarded to the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal bishop of New
York in the evening, as complete vindi-
cation of the charges.
The subscribers say that they have
known the Rev. G. II. W. Smith for ten
months. They admit having heard that
the slanderous and vicious statements
purporting to have been made by them
and bearing their signatures, charging
Mr.. Smith with immoral conduct and
adultery, were presented before the A. NJ
X. Zion Church Conference, at Monrovia,
in February, 1895; also that on account of
said statements so presented the said Rev.
Mr.. Smith has been suspended from the
ministry for one year.
I'VE hereby state, continues the af-
hdavit, that after due investigation, said
statements, if made by us, were made
when we were laboring under a delusion,
and while we were envious of said Rev.
G II. W. Smith, and though jealousy, he
having just married young wife. Said
statements were untrue in every particu-
lar and we retract the same"
The subscribers further alege that a
copy of the charges they had previously
made against Smith were secured by one
M. W. Beyman-the man who said he
would fix Smith-and presented to the
conference without their knowledge or
consent. In conclusion they cheerfully
testify now that upon all occasions and at
all times, as far as they know, the Rev.
Mr.. Smith always demeaned himself here
in q gentlemanly and Christian manner.
And here the matter now rests, with
the parson still out of job and nobody
he can fall back upon for revenge, except
this Mr.. Beyman, ''who had it in for
Smith and fixed him." as he said he
would.
