does infinite harm to himself by his

1t is suggested that an in

elevated over the head of Schley, a

older-and far better-officer super

the people took but languid interest
in this matter and Schley, himself,
modestly forebore to complain of the

injury in the case of Schley.

IMPORTANT ELECTION DECISION

The most important decision handed
down by the Supreme Court since its
judicial i1validation Of the income tax
law, is the recent declaration affirming
the validity of the election regulations
laid down by the constitution of the
State of Mississippi.
The particular Clause of the con-
stitution of Mississippi at issue was the
one requiring that no person otherwise
qualified should be permitted to vote
at any election for city, State or fed
eral officials or serve on a jury who
was unable to read and write and who
could not if requested to do so by the
proper officials give reasonable inter-
probation of the federal or State con-
stitution.

appellant that the clause in question
was = violation Of the XIV. and XIV.

.UNGENEROUS, FOOLISH SAMPSON

II Admiral SIMPSONS ears ever burn
they must be hot indeed, uuw tho
of his country has begun to discuss
him in the light of his official report OF
the great naval battle of Santiago.
1t was hoped by SIMPSONS friends
and well wishers, who comprised the
whole country, that his neglect to
mention Commodore Schley in his first
bulletin to Washington telling of the
defeat by the squadron under my
command" of Cervera's ships-which
was accomplished entirely under
Schley's direction and largely by
Schley's flagship, the 3rooklyn-that
lis Official report would straighten
matters out and that in that document
he would give Commodore Schley the
credit due him. Hence judgment was
suspended, and when the document
finally came to hand it was eagerly
scanned in the hope Sampson would
do Commodore Schley and himself JUS
tice.
But the people were doomed to disap-
pointment. Admiral Sampson devoted
much space to a strained effort to con-
meet himself and his ship with the
victory, although he was not on the
scene until after the victory was prac
tically won, and with evident studi-
hn 70 10
any mention of Commodore Schley and
the gallant part he and his ship, the
fleet Brooklyn, took in the battle
although that part was most import
ant, the Brooklyn at one time for ten
minutes engaging the whole of Ger
veras squadron, the Spanish fire being
centered on the Brooklyn, known to
0e the swiftest and consequently most
dangerous vessel in the American fleet
for the escaping Spaniards. He failed
even once to mention Commodore
Schley by name-referring to him as
"the Commodore commanding the sec
ond squadron" He even went so far
as to belittle the work of the Brooklyn
by laying stress upon her speed which
kept her to the front, intimating at the
same time that if aught had happened
to the Oregon or Brooklyn in the chase
Of the Cristobal Colon, that the Colon
would have been captured anyway. In
deliberately ignoring Schley and be-
ittling his grand work, Sampson
made the slight more marked by prais-
ng other captains Of the squadron ex-
ravagantly, although the work of
rome Of them-gallant and magnificent
ihough it all was-could be compared
With that of the Commodore in COM
nand in SIMPSONS absence.
How different Schley's report! The
brave and generous Commodore in re-
PORTING to Sampson never failed to
give credit all around wherever due
md although he included in his meri-
.orious mention the whole roster of his
stip he never mentioned his own mag
nificent part in directing that great
fight, but always spoke of "the vessels
under your com .nand," or 'the SQUAD
ron under your command which came
under my observation" Only in con-
Guiding his brief and sailor-like report
did he mention himself in these words:

THE PRESIDENTS DUTY.

There should be no need for prolong-
ed cabinet discussion of the peace pro-
posals. There should be as little delay
as possible. Delay the Spaniards want
in order not only to soOthe their
honor but to drag other European
nations into the settlement. And delay
the people of the United States do not
want.
the President is to narrow down the
peace negotiations to a prompt sub
mission of our terms and a demand for
an equally prompt acquiescence in
them by Spain, with an attack by our
vessels on the Spanish coast as the only
alternative.
We should be liberal and just with
the defeated foe-nothing else will ac-
cord with American sentiment-but we
a prompt answer to our terms,
which should be submitted as an ulti~
matum.
To delay is but to play into the
enemy's hands and invite European in

dent must have determined what cur

Let them be at once submitted and
Spain given the alternative of prompt
acceptance or fight.
