Again has an injustice been done
Schley by the powers that be at
Washington. He has always out
ranked Sampson until the exigen-
cies Of this war gave a political
naval secretary the chance Of ele-
waiting Sampson over him. And
now, after the glorious victory at
Santiago, where Schley did all the
fine work, promotions for service
rendered are in order, and we find
that far from retrieving the error in
the first promotion the navy de-
partment again makes its first dis
tinction the basis for another wrong.
True Schlsy is given rear admi-
ralcy, but in this is again placed
second to Sampson when he should,
by service in the navy, and by his
distinguished work in annihilatIng
Cervera, have been given a rank
ever Sampson. However, as these
appointments will have to go IA
the senate for confirmation, il is
hoped justice will be done by that
body even if it is impossible of at
tainment from the head Of the nav.

Spanish-America.
Every true American heart
should throb with sympathy at this
time for Mexico at the mention Of
the days September 10Th and 10th,
which are the same TO Mexicans as
July 4th is to Americans. These
are Mexico's two greatest holidays.
President Diaz was born on Sep
TENDER 18th at II o'clock at night
and one hour later September
10TH was the birthday Of Indie.
pendent Mexico. II is no wonder
therefore that the Mexicans love
these two holidays, which represent
so much to them. On the night Of
September 18th at exactly / o'clock
from every city, town, hill and dale
over the great Republic, one mighty
shout issues from a million free
mems throats, "Viya Mexico!"
viva ell Presidential"
In Mexico the day is celebrated
with great splendor. Nearly a
quarter Of a million of people take
part in the festivities aud the scene
rivals anything ever presented on
the American Continent.
On the day preceding the Presi.
dents birthday it is customary to
hold the unTivalled Battle Of
Flowers" Long before the sun
begins to peep over the hills there
can be seen thousands Of Indians
vending their way TO the city,
bringing with them large supplies
Of rarest and choicest flowers.
Houses are decorated in the great
est profusion, and the public build
ings and statues show practical
evidence Of the great fertility and
richness Of the soil. II is one Of
the days when every one has a free
license. The rich and the poor
mingle and pelt one another with
flowers in the most democratic
manner.
This is followed by two days
given up to most extravagant cele-
brations, conducted with pomp and
eclat never witnessed in our Dem.
ocratic Republic. They also have
their Liberty Belln which has a
history equaling ours and not least

\ FAvoRITE OF FORTUNE.

II is estimated that Rear Admiral
Simpsons share in the prize mon
ey that will be paid for the capture
and obstruction Of Spanish vessels
by the fleet under his command,
will amount TO 100000 or more
As admiral Of the fleet he gets the
lions share Of all the prize money.
No man will come out Of the war
with the good luck aud prizes en-
ioyed by Sampson. A captain
merely, with one or two other
captains and four commodores
ahead Of him on the lists when the
war commenced, this gentleman
quits the fight a rear admiral and
with a comfortable fortune, If
he had won this good fortune
on his merits and by his achieve.
ments the nation would never raise
a voice in criticism. To be so dis
tingnished, however through mere
favoriteism Of the administration
and at the expense Of equally as
good officers is very naturally the
subject Of much adverse comment
and constitutes one Of the deplor-
able scandals Of the war. Not a
single heroic act is credited to Rear
Admiral Sampson during the war.
He has done nothing that could
not have oeen done by any ordinary
captain Of his fleet. He has not
won a battle in which he was active
ly engaged. Yet we find him not
only reaping a large money reward
through the partiality of Messrs,
Mckinley ahd Long, but, as if in
defiance Of public sentiment, per-
manently jumped into the rear
admiral list ahead Of his former
ranking officers and on account Of
"eminent and CONSPICUOUS conduct
in battle?"
I This unearned good fortune Of
Sampson has had effect Of arousing
a demand for repeating the prize
money statues. When a man not
entitled to riches can obtain them
through the fayoriteism Of the
department, il is the time to re-
model the law. Ifthe prize money
was designed a. "a stimulus
to activity in the navy it should
60 to the crews, as the officers are
supposed to be inspired by higher
motives than those Of mere gain.
If this kind Of money is regarded
as legitimate reward for naval
activity it should go to the men
who actually earn it, and none OF
it be divided up among officers,
admirals, or otherwise, who are
away from the scene when the
captures are effected.
The army gets no such money
and il is extremity difficult to Sc,
where the just distinction lies. |
the property captured by one arm
ofthe service belongs wholly anC
without special reward to tn,

or DESTROYED by another branch o

the same manner. All prize
