On Thursday the Sentinel printed a
of two or three men by an officer of West
Virginia regiment with headlines indicating
that it is important matter. 1t was not
news, because all the facts relative to the
affair were sent by the Associated Press
on Monday night and printed in the papers
of Tuesday morning. What, then, could be
the object of the Sentinel in printing the
New York Worlds version in double
columns, with startling headlines? A few
weeks ago such stories. many of which
were false, We're paraded in IA similar man
ner for the purpose of making the people
believe that the President, by unfit appoint
ments, and officers of high rank, by inatten-
ton, were causing hundreds of deaths
among enlisted men. For a time these
glaring misrepresentation had an effect
throughout the country because they were,
to some extent, believed. This is no longer
the case. Neither the President nor the
War Department is in any sense responsible
for the conduct of the West Virginia officer,
for the reason that he was appointed by the
State. The punishment seems to have been
violation of the articles of war and of the
express order of the secretary of war. Such
being the case, the conduct of the Sentinel
in making such display of an incident
which is not news can only be accounted
for on the ground that it desires to array
enlisted men against their officers in the
hope that by doing this few votes may be
won for the Democratic ticket because the
former are by far the most numerous. If
this is not an explanation for such conduct.
it must be attribute q spirit of vicious
ness.
There is no denying that for a time the

treatment Of soldiers published by seGsa-

tionai papers had very pernicious infiu-
ence. The New York World glorying in it's
shameless lies, declared editorially that mo
more men can be recruited for any war;
For a few weeks this was half true. For
tunately, this traitorous conspiracy did not
develop until peace was in sight: if it
had been made in the midst OF war; when
more troops were needed. it might have
been temporarily disastrous to the United
States. There is not the least doubt that
the conspiracy. of the sensational papers to
destroy the confidence of the country in the
President and the officers directing the
troops did have one effect, and that was TO
create dissatisfaction among some regi-
ments and to encourage a spirit of in
subordination such as has been manifested
at Lexington and in one or two other
camps. That it did not spread is due to the
patriotism and good sense of the great
body of the enlisted men in the volunteer
army. That it has not touched an Indiana
regiment battery or company proves that
the Sentinel has no influence with them. AS
for the Sentinel, the malignant spirit which
characterized it from 1862 to 1865 still fingers
about it.

CHIEF MELVILLErs REPORT.
Lessons of the War as Viewed by the
Naval Engineering Bureau.

WASHINGTON. Oct 20-The war which
has just ended was the first in which mod
ern steam vessels have mad a thorough
trial. So says Engineer-in-chief Melville in
his annual report and then he proceeds to
note the important lessons, so far as they
respect the machinery of the vessels, which
have been taught by that experience. He
says the machinery must be tested fire.
quently, repair plants must be located at
accessible points, fresh water should be
easily obtainable, each fleet ought to have
a repair ship and fighting ships should be
of good speed With pardonabe pride the
report dwells the tremendous amount
of work accomplished by the bureau in pre-
pairing the fleet for war, involving the
placing of new boilers in the old monitors.
the fitting out of ships in ordinary and the
equipment of the auxiliary navy, nearly 10
vessels having been added to the regular
force The record made by the repair ship
Vulcan, it is said, will convince the most
skeptical that this floating shop was of
inestimabe value off Santiago.
The engineer-in-chief says that there was
a remarkable absence of casualty in the
machinery departments of the vessels of the
fighting squadron during the war Even IN
action, when forced draft conditions We're
in operation and the eXcltable natures OF
the men wrought on by their surroundings,
the report shows that the machinery not
case was it greatly distressed This is a
fine commentary upon the personnel as on
the machinery. But the torpedo boats could
not show the same excellent record. The
report says: lit is sad affair that nearly
every one has had some accidents, and the
machinery of some at the close of the war
was in condition that can only be de-
scribed as horrible. where boilers were bent,
cylinder covers broken, pistons and valves
stuck and everything in bad shape This
condition of affairs seemed attributable NO
two causes the absence of trained engineer
ing supervision and the use of boats for
duty to which they were not adapted"
The report explains it's last comment by
saying that i. did not require much ex-
perience to prove that torpedo boats cannot
be safely used as dispatch boats and as
tenders on bIcckading ships far from bases
of supplies or facilities for efficient repairs.
Primarily they are intended for high-speed
spurts where success or failure in the use
of their special weapon should be quickly
demonstrated. For this they are especially
built and for this they should be solely

The steady growth of American export
trade is bringing out some curious incidents.
One of these is reported from the town of
Hastings, England. where the Town Coun-
ell invited proposals for 2,0S5 tons of water
pipe, of 16-inch, 10-inch and irregular sizes
The lowest bid from any British firm was
$11.610. and an American bid of $l0.35s was
accepted The contract is not large one,
but it emphasizes the increasing Importance
of American competition in country which
enjoyed, for a long period, undisputed SUI
premacy in the iron and steel trade. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the growth
of American competition in this. as in 9TH
err branches of manufacturing, is due to the
Republican policy of protection for home
industries

little consequence which the evening Tag
CART organ did not like. He was not a

which the city has been defrauded During
its better days the News never gave such a

, Among the obligations which the Ameri-
can people are under to President McKin-
ley not the least is the introduction of
Judge William r. Day, of Ohio into ma
tional politics. Accurate judgment of men
is an important attribute for the chief ex-
ecutive of a government AS the RESPONSE
BILE head, he should be able to select his as
erence to their fitness. When Judge Day
went to Washington as assistant secretary
of state the country knew nothing of him
beyond the fact that he was a trusted
friend and adviser of the President. By the
time he became secretary of state the coun-
try had come to believe that he was a man
of decided ability. The events preceding
the Spanish war, the negotiation of the
protocol and the present peace negotiations
have shown that he possesses ability of the
highest order and a combination of firm
ness and tact that is rarely found 1t has
not been long since Judge Day, practicing
law in Ohio, was unknown outside of the
State Now he has an international reputa-
ton as author of the protocol which
brought the Spanish war to an end, and
the makers of world maps are noting his
slightest word in Paris. His mouth may be
frifie too large for beauty, but when he
speaks and sets his lips together results
follow. For the man who is now engineer
ing things in Paris with so much ability
and tact the country is indebted to Presi-
dent Mckinley.

was made by President David Starr Jordan
at this evenings session of the Liberal Con-
gress of Religions, and it was listened to
by a crowded church Summed up, it was
TO the effect that policy of expansion
would make incumbent upon this country
an expensive colonial system with all that
ii implies of a costly army and navy, that
our government system would have to be
largely changed from American republican,
ism 10 British Imperialism: that the pur-
suits of war would take the place of the
pursuits of peace: that il is not suited TO
this country: that the effects of living in
the tropics is To degenerate the Anglo
Saxon character: that a better way is TO
preserve the friendship between this coun-
try and Great Britain and finally. that this
Nation stands for an ideal or individual
citizenship which Is higher purpose for
humanity than national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
