Lamont, in whose place he was acting,
and turned the case over to him, there would
not have been so much cause for complaint.
As it is, Judge Bradley's denunciation was
timely.
Unless Secretary Lamont is guided by
his own Judgment and withdraws the
charges, the next move will be the conven-
ing of a court martial and the dismissal
of Ma jor Armes. The feud that has so long
existed between Gen. Schofield and the
offending major must end in the favor
of the general, provided il is ever brought
before a board of army Officers. Under
the circumstances it could not be other
wise Gen. Schofield's long and creditable
service will not be smirched by the adnis-
sion that he has been guilty of prosecuting
n subordinate, and the natural result or
the court-martial will be the conviction
and punishment of Major Arrnes. The
letter received by Gen. Schofield will be
sufficient evidence, and 1t is likely that
no opportunity will be given TO substan-
tiate the charges made therein.
This will seem like a one-sided method
of disposing of violations of the military
regulations, but 1t is a way they have
in the army.

ORR FOREIGN TRADE.

Congress should carefully note the grad
hal increase of our manufacturing ex-
ports and encourage greater efforts to
supply foreign markets by more liberal
appropriations to defray the expense OF
American exhibits at foreign expositions.
In this respect other governments are
much more generous and afford their
manufacturers opportu nifty to display
goods at every exposition of any conse
quence. Ia contrast, when a bill author
izing the appointment of a commission
to the Antwerp exposition was before
the last Congress it could not be passed
until the amount to be appropriated for
the travelling expenses of its members
was stricken out. The result was little
or no exhibit of American goods at the
Antwerp exposition.
Advance sheets of the government sta
tistics show a marked increase in the
export of manufactured products in the
last year. In July, 1894, they amou nted
to S14, ,532.152, and In July, 1895,
reached the sum of $17.3O619 In
August, 1894. they were SIG, ,222. .3S4,
and for the same month in 1895 they
were S19.O50.924. This remarkable gain
is not confined to those months, but ex-
tends throughout the year, and includes
a large variety of products.
The United States has the resources, the
ability and the capital to become an ag
gressiye and successful competitor in the
worlds markets. But our producers must
have a guiding influence to assist them
in reaching foreign consumers and it must
necessarily come from the government.
Their individual efforts cannot be con-
centrated without this help, nor Will their
demands for recognition be effectual un-
less backed by the recommendation of
the government, and for that reason Con-
gress should be generous in aiding manu-
facturers in exhibiting their goods in foreign
countries
Every dollar exported in products in ad-
ditionto the amount consumedhere furnishes
increased opportunities to working people
and enriches the country to that extent.
1t also sows the seed for greater pros
perIty in the future, and eventually will
give us control of all profitable foreign
markets.

SPECTRAL BATTLES IN CUBA.

The Spanish consul at Tampa is row
hard at work trying to swallow a lie
that has lodged somewhere in the neigh
borhood of bis Adams apple. In the
course of his official duty he reported that
a filibustering expedition was being or
ganized at Cedar Keys, Fla. On the ad-
vice of the Spanish minister in this city
Capt. johnson, of the Cincinnati. was or
dcred to the scene. An investigation was
made and no expedition found, but before
an official report could be forwa rded the
Tampa consul wired that Capt. johnson
had refused to do his duty. In response
to a telegram from Acting Secretary Nc
Adoo Capt. johnson promptly replied to
the charge made against him aud plainly
intimated that the Spa nish consul was
guilty OF falsehood, and in consequence
there is blood on tue Spanish moon.
Other information from the Southern
coast indicates that the Spanish consuls
at Key West, Tampa and New Orleans are
keeping our navy busy chasing after
filibustering phantoms. The numerous ex-
peditions which they allege are being
organized almost invariably turn out to be
creations of an eXcitable brain, and our
naval officers are naturally getting weary
of being made ridiculous through such wild
goose chases-
To build air castles has nearly always
been acknowledged as Spanish proclivity,
and heretofore it has also been looked ON as
a harmless amusement. But cable reports
of Spanish victories and the vagaries con-
corning filibusters give reason to suspect
that this mild form of exaggeration is
giving way to more violent type. Instead
of continuing to designate this practice as
building air castles in Spain it should be
called fighting spectral battles in Cuba.

THE TIMES STILL GAINING.

Figures That Lie-How the Star Mis-
represents TO the Public.
Saturdays Star announced that its
circulation was many thousands in excess
ofany other Washington perandisb believed
to be fully five times that of any afternoon
contemporary" This Justification is easy
TO expose.
The daily average circulation of The
Times for the six days on which the Star
bases its calculation was 33,367; that
OF the Star was 2S $50. For the sake of
the argument, let US admit that the Star
has five times the circulation of our even
ing edition. 0ne-fifth the circulation of
the Star is 8, ,367. Subtract that amount
from 81, ,36T, the average of The Times,
and 81 ,637 is left 10 represent the cir
culation of our morning edition Com
pare that amount with the $3.50 which
the Star falsely claims, is many thou
sands in excess of any other Washington
paper" and you will see that its figures lie.
The aggregate circulation OF the Star last
week was III, ,901. That Of The Times
was 223,776. The Star gained 1,424
in circulation during the week and The
Times added 7,751 to its list.
These figures should be satisfactory
proof as to which is the most popular news
paper, and should also demonstrate to
advertisers where they can obtain best
results.
The Times is in the lead and will stay
there, because it is the best daily in wash

The strange part of the incident is its
diplom attic complication. Lord Sackville
is on the retired list of the British dipio-

in an official capacity for his public utter

CIVIL AND MILITARY TRIALS.

Interesting Decision on That Point by
Assistant Secretary of War.
A decision by the Assistant Secretary of
War, issued in circular form by Gen. Miles
for the Information of the army, is not
exactly applicable to the Schofield-Armes
case, but the present prominence of the
latter makes it of unusual interest,
The decision in question relates to the
trial by military court of a soldier on
bail for trial by civil court, and reads as
follows:
A soldier on bail for trial by O civil court
may, while he is in this statue. be brought
before q military court for trial, but the
military proceedings cannot interfere with
the civil, and If Il term of confinement
is likely to be awarded which would cover
the time fixed for the mans trial by the
civil court the military trial must be post
poned.
As the soldier is not withdra wn from duty
by the civil proceedings, his pay status is
not affected thereby.

.leltl.ir. L i,-l..

The large number OF suicides of firemen
and coal passers on German ocean steam
ships, committed, probably. In temporary
insanity brought on by intense heat or
overwork, has led the German government
to examine the subject and ask the views
of other nations.
The United States Commissioner Of Navi-
CATION has just completed an Investigation,
which shows that during the past five years
only three firefnen on the American steam
ships OF the International Navigation Com
pany. New York and Cuba Mail, Red d.

The record can probably be equaled by
no other nation. and indicates the excel
