The suppression Of the parading picka-
ninnies that lately infested the streets
from morning ill midnight was a good
thing Now, there are a number Of other
petty annoyances which deserve attention.
One of these is the peripa,euc alleged
bands" of blacks which 90 about from
house to house torturing certain musical
instruments and singing Many of the
dimes given these bands are for the pur-
pose of hiring them to go away and quit
annoying the neighborhood. Another an
noyance is the whistling and cat-calls of
youths, black and white, on the streets at
night. No doubt the whistling is often
an exchange Of signals between sneak
thieves and burglars. If it were nothing
Of the sort. however, it would still be
worthy of suppression because of It's nerve
racking qualities. In the eastern and
western suburbs the quiet people of both
races are annoyed nightly by "ten-cent
parties" Any negro, upon the payment of
a fee Of 81. can secure permission TO give
one of these parties" and keep several
blocks in the neighborhood in a state OF
disgust and alarm until the small hours
of the morning.

Thirtysix years ago Gen. Joseph
Wheeler had the pleasure of capturing
the officer he is now serving under in
Cuba. In March, 1862, William r. Shat
Ter was major in the Nineteenth Michi-

one day when a body of Wheeler's Cav
airy surrounded and captured the whole
outfit. Shafter was sent 10 Richmond,
and spent six weeks in Libby prison. No

Sampson and schIey.

The belief has been very general that
either Sampson or Schley or perhaps both
would be promoted for ihe splendid naval
victory that was won by our navy near
Santiago, but it was stated in our dis
patches yesterday that an impression pre-
vails in Washington that neither viii be
promoted because of the claim to the
credit of the victory which the friends of
each of them are making. 1t is regret
able that there should be such feeling
about the matter as to prevent the one
entitled 10 promotion from getting it.
Il does look as if Schley is the one who
should have the promotion, for two rea-
sons. The first is that it was his squad
ron that discovered the Spanish squadron
in Santiago harbor, and the second is that
he was present when the battle was fought
and his ship bore the brunt of the fight,
while Admiral Sampson was not present
until after the last ship of the enemy had
surrendered 1t is, of course, to be said
for Sampson that he was the commander
Of the fleet. and that the battle was fought
in accordance with instructions given by
him long before the battle occurred.
his fault. Naval officers ought to have
no great difficulty in deciding whether the
credit for the victory belongs TO Sampson
or Schley, or both. SIMPSONS report of
the battle is not calculated TO help the
Washington authorities and the public in
reaching a correct conclusion in resepct
TO the matter.
