HOBSON'S FAILURE.

Lieutenant Hobson proves TO be rath-
er foolish young man. He covered
himself with glory in the sinking OF
the Merrimac in the Santiago channel.

GOODNESS and audacity. When he un-
dertook to raise the Spanish vessels

head There were wrecking engineers
who were Astounding in brains and ex-
perience, but he refused to consult
them. lie wished to keep the glory OF
a successful raising to himself. One Of
them exposed in print Hobson's i'm
practicable methods and the engineers
smiled when an enthusiastic country
demanded that he should undertake
the Job. lie failed simply because he
did not know enough. IL is case OF
yaulting ambition. II he had been
shrewd, he would have taken one OF
these experienced and successful en-
gineers into his confidence, and given
him a small percentage OF the glory, II
he had succeeded. Now the Navy De-
partment has most reluctantly given
the undertaking to the wrecking COM
panies. With abundant means at his
command, Hobson has failed. He will
always remain the hero OF the Merri-
mac exploit, but the professional men
will not esteem him, because he SEEM

culties before him. He has more pluck
than wisdom.

NEW YORK, November 22.-Tom
Sharkey got the decision over Jim Cor
bett in their fight at the Lenox Ath-
etic Club tonight because Jim McVey,
ne OF Corbett's seconds, broke into the
ring during the ninth round. It was
highly unsatisfactory fight which a
large portion Of the crowd was pre-
pared to vote fake and 1t was only
the action Of Honest John Kelly" the
referee, in calling all bets of, that pre-
vented another gambling scandal.
McVey's conduct was very remark
able, for there was nothing that de-
manded his presence in the ring. He is
an old-timer at the game, and knew
that his entry would cost his principal
the fight. He declares that he thought
the round over, that Sharkey had foul
ed Corbett and that he was merely pro-
testing in behalf Of his man. Corbett
made fine showing OF indignation at
the offender and the police had to drag
the pair apart. What McVey says as
to the fouling is true, for both men
broke the agreement not to hit either

II Is a pity that the Historical So
clety is not organized so as to obtain
and preserve the minute details of
these perllous voyages in boats. News
papers. as a rule, cannot afford TO spend
the time necessary to secure long and
circumstantial statements Of facts
which have a real scientific value.
The captain and crew OF the schooner
that drifted upon the coast OF Hawaii,
about five months ago, were in this
port for three weeks. They possessed
the most valuable data, which threw
much light upon the way these Islands
were populated through drifting voy-
ages. No attempt was made by the
Historical Society to secure this most
valuable data. An attache Of the Ad-
yertiser secured 1t, and will In due time
prepare a valuable paper on the sub
ject. II he had not done so, hundred
years from the present time some one
would read paper before a Histori-
cal Society. full of guess work about

GREAT INDIAN TRUST.
Tribal Territories Governed by Few
% Schcming Redskins.

The Indian territory as at present
governed is the most successful trust
in the United States. About $4,000 In
dams control the territory, Which in
cludes among its inhabitants anywhere
from 100000 10 100000 white people.
These white people have no voice in
making laws under which they live and
cannot acquire title to the houses they
build or the lands they till. If the 49,
600 Indians were $4,000 people whose in
dividual land holdings made up the ag-
gregate area of the territory the situa-
ton would be peculiar, but as matter
OF fact there are no such things there
rs individual titles. The land of each
tribe is in theory held by the tribe as q
whole, and leases are given of tracts
which carry with them any improve
ments placed thereon. In practice the
land of each tribe is controlled by n
little knot or ring" of chiefs or leading
men. The bulk OF each tribe outside
this charmed circle are mere squatters.
Readers who have never been in the
Indian territory may fancy that the In
dian chiefs are crested warriors of the
forest. A brief stay in the territory
will put an end to any such impression.
An Indian chief in ''the territory" looks
n good deal like white man, dresses
like one and makes money like one.
Not infrequently he is either the actual
head or secret hacker of big enter
prise, or he may have been bred to the
law. In any event he is a shrewd specu-
lator who usually sees all the advan-
tages of keeping up system which
gives him all the advantages and few
Of the burdens Of a great land owner.
The rank and file of the Indians get
nothing out of the territory but the
right to squat on such obscure corners
of the land as the chiefs have no pres
cnt use for. Allotments in severalty
which the Dawes commission is seeking
to bring about would be for the inter-
est OF the majority of the Indians as
well us for that of the whites. The
tribal system has broken down COM
pletely as n safeguard for the tribes,
and has only benefited the trust"
formed by the chiefs--Boston Tran
script.

SOUND MONEY DIVISIONS.
Dangers of Disunion I'm the Gold
Standard Forces.

The friends of free coinage are anx-
ious that the line of battle for 1900 shall
be as sharply drawn on the silver issue
as possible. And with this end in view
they are now preparing their pro-
gramme. This programme calls for the
capture of the next house, the passage
by the next congress of a free silver
coinage bill in the spring Of 1900, and
the lining up of both parties on the
presidents veto, which they do not
doubt will be promptly forthcoming.
On the one side will be those who sus-
tain the veto and on the other those who
oppose it. There will then be, as the
silver men insist, no room for qualifica-
ton or lodging. Congress by its bill
will have written the free silver plat
form, and the president by his veto the
sound money PLATFORM.
Some of the friendSs6f sound money
declare that the line of battle last year
was quite as sharply drawn as this, and
that they do not fear another engage
ment on il. But it would be we'll to re-
member that if the result in 1000 is to
be the same as last year the men who
stood together to achieve last years
triumph can. hardly afford the eXpen-
sive luxury of division or indifference
meanwhile. As the silver men are re-
forming for the second attack, they GER
tainly should keep in position TO re-
ceive them. They are very far from
being in such position now. They are
so very much divided indeed that, as
between the men of Mr.. Chambers
stamp, who do not want the currency
touched by this congress at all, and the
men of Mr.. Cages stamp, who want
very substantial currency reform bill
passed, the difference (appears I. to
threaten serious consequences to the
sound money cause.
There ought to be some safe middle
ground within reach on this subject,
and it should be the duty of the present
house TO find it. IT will be strange in
deed if the house fails to take some ac-
ton. An adjournment without action
would be confession of failure and
plea for mercy. with the country in no
mood to grant mercy. And if by do
nothing policy by this house the next
house is surrendered to the silveritcs,
the first point in their programme will
have been gained, and their course
smoothed for the presidential battle
two years hence. Instead of being as
sisted the free coinage men should be
resisted, at every stage of their game
