There are always some people who
think they could manage a war or
even a government better than those
chosen to perform such responsible
duties. Just now the yellow jour
nails and a lew stay-at-home patriots
are finding fault with the naval board
and charge that it is hampering
Sampson and Schley by directing
their operations from Washington.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Secretary Long, in replying
to such criticism recently, said the
naval board was only advisory inits
character and that our naval COM
manders had full power and latitude
to act as the circumstances required
and Were in no way hampered by the
naval experts at Washington, and
we believe this would be the admis-
sion OF the commanders themselves ii
questioned on the point. There is a
great deal OF information that can be
gathered on land. where there is tele-
graphic communication with all
IboltlNS. llsi tOtli lIpl w oplfllilctl 4
sea, and this knowledge is conveyed
to the different commanders by dis
patch boats when possible. This
naval board is composed of such men
as Malan and Sicarl, who are the
peers of any i'll the world in naval
affairs and who have seen service.
They know too well the value of free
dom OF action in certain contingent
cies to tie the hands of their brother
officers. One paper in this state is
idiOtic enough to say: Had Dewey
been in direct communication with
Secretary Long there is little or no
doubt that the splendid victory OF
Manila bay would ncvcr have mate
rallied" Secretary Longs orders
to Dewey were: Capture or destroy
the Spanish fleet" The secretary,
or no one else, cared how he did it.
There is no question but Sampson
and Schley have just the same free
dom, and had the Cape Verde fleet
shown Il disposition to ti%htit would
have been destroyed long before this.

As indicating the complete eXtinc-

efforts of such newspapers as the

back the great tide OF patriotism
that is sweeping our land or
make people look with partisan eyes
at the acts of those men who are con-
Quoting this war.
Since the above was written the
dispatches state that young Sartoris
has been chosen by General Lee as
his chief OF staff. This is still another
and Il stronger evidence of Il united

Scientific sport with Kittens.
country

AT a recent meeting of the New York
Academy of Sciences Mr.. T~horndike, of
Columbia university, described his eX-
periments on comparative psychology,
in which kittens, dogs, chickens and
monkeys played a part. One object
was to ascertain in what manner and
how rapidly animals learn tricks. \
box was provided with a door that
could be opened from the inside by
means of a latch. or by pulling a cord,
or by turning a button. Kittens were
placed inside the box, and a toothsome
fish outside. The time taken to get out
became gradually shorter, but Mr..
T~horndike said the trick was always
learned by accident. One lucky hit
would prepare the way for another. He
could see no trace of rational inference
on the animals part. 1t was not posi-
bic to teach the trick by taking the
kittens paw and pushing the latch, and
the seeing another animal do the trick
100 times was no help to the n that
had not already learned it.-Youth's

Although the war has not pro-

is hardly likely that Cervera's fleet
would have been able TO split the
waves of the Caribbean sea had our
navy contained a half dozen power
ful and swift cruisers, say nothing of
entering the harbor OF Santiago.
While Spain has gained nothing ii
her fleet has entered this harbor, there
is no question but Sampson or Schley
would have preferred to have met it
on the open sea-. and doubtless one or
the other OF them would have done
so could they have sailed as rapidly
as II enemy. Surprising the Span

have been handicapped by the slower

urally, this country, from its position
and Discrimination to NEEDLE in for
eign affairs, has constructed a navy
with an eye to defensive operations,
and but for the landing of troops ON
Cuban soil, ninety miles from our
shores, the need of fast vessels would
not be so urgently felt, although with
our extensive coast line the advant-
age of swift cruisers is an important
point. The powerful and deadly bat
tleships and monitors are not to be
~undervalued. They lave their place
and in action, we believe, will aston
ish the civilized world, but the rapid
and heavily-armored cruisers will
only hasten to bring the desired bat
tie about and be quicker in securing
results in the prosecution of a war.

OUTLAWRY IN ALASKA.

Gold at the Hands of Desperadoes.
Murder and robbery on a wholesale
scale mark the mountain trails of
Alaska. The paths which lead to and
from the country of the Klondike are
beset with inhuman ghouls who kill
and steal with impunity. There is
scarcely a mile of the overland road
on which gold-laden miners return
from the new Eldorado that does not
bear the mark of some fiendish crime
of outlav-y. and the evil has assumed
such terrifying proportions that the
stron" arm of the federal military
department has been invoked TO sup
press ii.
This ct least is the sensational story
brought to Chicago by men who have
lately come back from Dawson City.
and they tell it with an air of earnest

listener. In il may be found an eX-
PLANTATION of the action of the govern
ment in hurriedly dispatching a COM
paratively large detachment of troops

still more serious from the standpoint
of famine.
Conservative men assert hat AT least
S~2.o0o,00o worth of gold dus and food
supplies nave been stolen in the Klon-
dixie country during the last u months,
most of it inside the last half year,
