greeting to the nation that the
fleet under my command offers to
the nation as Fourth of July pres
ent the destruction of the Cervera
fleet etc. The vaingloriousness of
this message first aroused the peo-
pie. the natural inquiry being as to
what part SchIey took. And when
the actual facts became known and the
realization. came that Schley was there
and Sampson was not. there was a
feeling that the commandments
might have been great enough to
have given his subordinate the credit
the situation demanded, at least.
And rs said before. there was no in
clination to deny Sampson the part
that was his as commander of the
victorious aggregation of fighting
ships.
But subsequent events have devel-
oped the purpose of Sampson to deny
to Schley any of the success of that
eventful Sunday morn-with Sampson
seven miles away. And what is more
amazing, the navy department, sup
ported by the administration, is found
| to be supporting the COMMANDMENTS
chief in the determination to deprive
Schley of his well earned crown, and
whether history bears out the act or
not, to give to Sampson the absolute
glory Of the achievement.
The disclosure of this naval in
trigue has naturally awakened the in
dignation of the nation, regardless of
political or other bias. Schley has
since the close of the war been made
an exile, so far as it was within the
power of the department to place him,
while Sampson has been given every
opportunity to keep him before the
| nation. The treatment of SchIey in
| the New York demonstration in honor
of Dewey, through influences eXerted
| from Washington, is but an instance
Of this injustice and unfairness. The
| refusal of the department to permit
Schlev to succeed Sampson in COM
mand of the North Atlantic squadron,
on the latter's forthcoming retire
ment, on the preteXt that others out
rank him, is another evidence of this
outrageous prejudice against him, the
excuse being all the more fragrant
| when it is considered that Sampson,
2 captain at the outbreak of the
war, was showed up over the heads of
commodores and admirals through this
official and political favoritism, and
maintained his pinnacle until his vol
untary retirement. Only the other day
the arrival in New York harbor of Rear
Admiral Howison, in command of q less
important station to that of Sampson,
although outranking him, afforded a
conspicuous illustration of the incon-
sistency of department regulations as
applied to Schley, who has now been
assigned to Howison's flagship in the
South Atlantic.
Had Sampson in his relations with
Schley been more magnanimous and
less envious, had he been more just
and less vain. the American people
would have associated the two COM
manders in the Cuban waters in all
the glorious accomplishments of the
sea lighting forces during the war.
But as it is the conviction is growing
stronger daily in favor of Schley and
less in support of Sampson, who is
rapidly loosing what prestige he en-
ioyed through official recognition.
He who is not brave enough to be
last with mis- own officers and his
own countrymen, has not bravery in
his soul.

Rev. DR.. Simpson Arraidned.

Rev A. b. Simpson, d. D.. OF New
York. is a world famed evangelist. 1t
has been limited that ne is something of
a Svengalist. and his operations at the
Old Orchard campground, every Au
gust for the past dozen years. would
tend to bear this out. His public col
lections of money for missionary pur-
poses have resulted in the raising Of
fabulous sums, and he has gathered in
baskets full of jewelry, watches, etc.
from great audiences which his elo-
quent appeals have aroused to an al
most hysterical frenzy. He is the
leader of the Christian Alliance, an in
he originated and of which he is the
head and heart.
In its latest issue the New York In
dependent has vigorous arrangement
Of Or. Simpson for misrepresentation Of
funds in connection with foreign mis-
sionary operations. 1t accuses him OF
mismanagement and irresponsible
methods which have resulted in the
suffering and deaths of neglected mis-
sionaries in the field. Il is stated that
missionaries have been left in foreign
countries without any means for their
support or to defray expenses for their
return home. one young man of fine
character and earnest devotion was
left without support in a country
where it was impossible for him to
secure assistance. He sckened and
became insane and took his own life.
Others have been left in foreign lands
and have only been saved by helm from
other missionary boards. Many letters
from DIR. Simpsons missionaries have
been received in this country urging
an investigation and an exposure of his
methods which have resulted in such
cruelties. Many pledges Of the society
To its missionaries have not been re-
deemed. Bonds have been quoted al
fictitious values, DIR. Simpson having
prayed that they may have values and
then has taken it for granted that they
have It. Letters from the field are said
to have been persistently ignored.

light has come from it, Many who

Violent denunciations and vehement
rejoinders have filled the air, but these

Portland had a fatal accident a few
evenings ago, in which a young BIZ
cyclist was killed by falling under a
moving trolley car. 1t was the first in
the history of the electric road and no
blame attaches to the company. as the
accident was due 10 the young mans
carelessness and his ina bility 10 man
age his wheel when caught in q light
place. The Portland papers have been
using the sad affair as a text for much
needed sermons to bicycle riders who
persist in riding for long distances be
side electric cars or in lodging among
teams and pedestrians on the street
1t is a great wonder there are not
many more fatal bicycle accidents
than occur. Not that bicycle riding is
of itself dangerous, quite the contrary
but many wheelmen get careless and
take unnecessary chances. Reckless
riders even take frightful risks just
for the novelty and excitement of the
thing, in utter disregard Of their own
lives or the lives of others. Too often
the bicyclst forgets that the pedes-
trian has a few rights which he is
bound to respect.

1.-THE whole financial management is an
inextricable muddle.' 1t appears that
DR.. Simpson keeps everything in ms

wife. There is ground" says the IN
dependent. for pressing immediate in
vestigation of the very severe charges
of mismanagementb by DR.. Simpson and
his wife" While the foreign mission
airy cause should not suffer from Dr.
Simpsons irregularities, it undoubted-
ly will, but it should be remembered
that our missionary boards are in no
ways connected with DR.. simpsons
irresponsible methods. They have al
ways stood in the religious world for
the best financial management and
have been above all adverse criticism.
But Dr. Simpson has neglected to en-
ploy bookkeepers, and 1t is not prob
able that he himself has any idea what
has become of the vast sums he has
collected. Those who defend his hon
esty admit the fatal mistakes OF mis-
management which he has made, and
wish he We're able to give an account
of his stewardship.
Few Of our readers have any sym
pathy with the methods employed by
DR.. Simpson, but we must admit that
only one side of the story is given by
the Independent. Perhaps he has
something to say in his own behalf,
though the case against him certainly
looks very black No doubt many of
his IMPOVERISHED victims would like to
see his work fully exposed and himself
punished His one-man theory of run

and evangelizing the world is al!
wrong. 1t is too bad that legitimate
boards which are doing such grand
work in missionary fields, whose &C
counts are always open to the public.
and whose funds are never secured or
employed in the questionable manner

what this man has done and failed
to do.
