The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-06-25

~ R. ANDREWS, superintendent Of
lOJ the public schools of Chicago,
is a strong character, and. like
all men of that type, provokes violent
antagonisms. All Chicago is said to
have taken sides for or against the
doctor. Mass meetings have been held
at which he has been upheld or con-
demned in good set terms, committees
have been appointed for the purpose
of fighting him or defending him, and
the mayor and the board of education
have been appealed to repeatedly in
the matter. Through one complica-
ton and ahotheriabar, has arrayed itself
against the superintendent--at a meet
ing of the Federation of Labor the
other day he was severely condemned
and his resignation demanded. His
enemies declare that he is arbitrary,
tyrannical and unjust; that he is pref
udiced against woman teachers; that
he shows gross favortism; that he is
a theorist rather than a practical ed
ucator; that he spends most of his
time writing for magazines and news
papers in an attempt to evolve edu-
cational novelties; that he relegates
most of the work he should perform in
person to an assistant, who as an I'M
derstudy of Andrews has all his faults
and weaknesses: that he himself has
never become thoroughly acquainted
with the conditions and needs of the
public schools.
On the other hand, DR.. Andrews has
many warm and enthusiastic defend
ers, who assert that Chicagos school
system needed thorough overhauling;
that he was engaged for that very
purpose and that he has not yet had

The record stands; the record made
in Santiago waters. The American lost
in this battle, memorable for its few
casualties. stood close by Schley's
side when hit. The Brooklyn, which
Schley commanded, was struck many
times more than any other ship in our
fleet and the Brooklyn fired the great
est number of shots. The Brooklyn was
nearest to the Spanish boat that was
the last to yield and that had sailed
farthest. Almost to the finish of the
fight, Sampson was far away. 1t was
his misfortune, not his fault, that he
and his ship could not be in two places
ten miles apart at the same time. The
persistent policy of the administration,
in it's gross playing of favcrites, has
been to compel public opinion to believe
that Sampson should have the glory Cor

pate To accomplish this, the cliqua's
play has been to pound Schley and
pound him again, and to make it APP
pear that he is in fact coward and a
cur. To that indecent length cficial-
dom has gone.

Where the Danger Lies.

IT LREADY the point has been
reached which brings the dem
ocrats to the place where, in
anticipation of 1900, they must talk
very loud against trusts If they pro-
pose to talk louder. than the republic
cans. These latter are in the field, at
various points, preclaiming against the
trusts as zealously as if they were
honest about it and in merry disre-
gard of the assertion from republicans
as eminent as Senator Allison who
say that, in fact, there are no trusts.
1t is plain to see that the purpose of
the republicans is to take the trust
talk wind all out of the democratic
sails: and it is our suspicion that the
republicans will not miss much of car
rying their point. They will work it
just as they worked the silver racket;
they found plenty of hidebound parti-
san fools whom, in succeeding presi-
Dental elections, they hoodwinked
with the assurance that silver's hope
was in the republican party.
The republicans will have the assur-
ance to work this game. Already we
find Alger in the field as the aspirant
for Michigan senatorship on an anti
trust platform. Now just fancy it!
Sit down, for moment; think it all
ord into candid account; and then
measure the depths of the chicanery
which he typifies as an antitrust
| candidate!
But the knife cuts both ways. In the
East are trust-enriehed democrats who
are proposing to fight the presidential
battle, next year, on down with-the-
trusts lines. These democrats are as
deep in the trust mud as republicans
like Alger are In the trust nire. The
result is that, one 9of the parties trying
to outshout the other in hypocritica
denunciation of the trusts, the trus
issue will be made a mockery in the
next election. The bulk of the voter:
will feel that, respecting the alleged
trust offenses, and the real trust of
lenses, one party is just as bad a!
the other; and the upshot of 1t all viii
be that as the result of what will thu
be a republican success, the trust
will fasten themselves more firml!
than ever on the industrial world.
The political preparations going OF
throughout the country, having 1900 il
view have been good deal more &C
tive than the large public suspects
Undoubtedly, it must be confessed
that, by the signs, this work appear
to be more effective than most of u
realize. The administration party /
strongly intrenched. 1t started on
early to force the democrats from thei
own strong ground and to rob the sill
yer issue of it's strength.
This is not a time for despair, bu
manifestly it is a time for some anxi
ETY.; now and then it looks as if TIL
republicans were really fighting in 1879
the presidential battle scheduled TO
1900. This will prove to be the cas-
if the democrats consent to be lure6
They have right ground, strong groun
and, as we believe, winning ground,
they abide by the silver issue an
thus fight the arch trust Of all which
indisputably, is the gold trust

How 1t Works.

@ ECENT outbreaks against the
quality of the Manila news per-
" mitted by those in power to
reach the American public amount to
an uprising. The displeasure of the
press Of the country is unerringy
shown. In the general denunciation no
partisan spirit is betrayed; indeed, in
instances the prevailing disgust is
loudest voiced in well-known newspa-
pers that have been thick-and- thin
supporters of the presidents conquest
schemes, and the most incisive critics
are distinctively outside the limits of
yellow-tin journalism.
You will find in such steady-going
publications as the Philadelphia Ledger,
for instance, sharp denunciation of the
audited news that passes the war de-
partment at Washington. That news
papers recent comment includes this
statement: zone difference between
the press dispatches from the Philip
pines and those sent by Otis is that the
former are censored in Manila and the
latter in Washington
To take another newspaper that
means what it says, the Brooklyn Eagle
remarks: 1.-The Eagle publishes what
| news is sent from Manila as it is sent,
when it arrives. But this paper is con-
scious of the contradictory character
of the news, from day to day, and
| wishes the facts were different. Nor
| are press men unaware that the dis
| patches from the Philippines are said
| to come under censorship"
What is the effect of this censorship
aside from it's ultra un-American char
| acter? The first effect is that this coun-
| try is filed with contradictory state
| ments Time after time the censored
stuff tells how the insurgents were ut
| terly routed and sent flying to the hills
| too thoroughly crushed ever to return
1 to the fray. Back came these Fill
pinos; they do not surrender, they do
not stay whipped. Day after day the
public was led to anticipate news of the
| final coup given to the islanders; along
| came the startling tidings of a severe
and unexpected all-day fight that &C.
Cured almost within rifle range of Ma

| public that was more Earring than that
which described the recent Lawton en-
| gagement.
| The upshot of this retailing of dis
honest news will be harmful in its eff
| feet Presently the disappointed public
will raise the cry that Otis, Wheaton
| and the rest of them are failures and
| the feeling of unrest will call for new
| commanders. These officers themselves
are likely to be the first victims of the
| lying stories given out as news.

~ EtICIALDOM IN tnlS Tree couu-
try of ours can put up an I'M
even and a mighty unfair fight
against an individual when once it
starts out in pursuit of him. Indeed,
the bureaucratic circles are able, too
often with success, to follow a man in
a manner that lacks nothing of perse-
cution. Admiral Schley's case is ag-
gressively in evidence on this score
The Mckinley administration picked
out Sampson as the commander in
Cuban waters whom 1t proposed to
make favorite. The plain, unvarnish-
ed fact is that when the lucky moment
came for record making at Santiago
Sampson was miles and miles away
from the opportunity. That was not
SIMPSONS fault-it was simply mis-
chance for him.
Naturally, the public, as with one ac-
cord, made Schley the hero of the fight
off Santiago That didn't suit the ad-
ministration's mutual-admiration cir
Gle; since the day of the battle. the
effort of the presidential clique, In ways
that are the meanest, has been to
break Schley down. This clique found
an all-too-ready organ in the New York
Sun, recent convert from blindlypar-
tisan democracy to obsequious repub-
licanism. The Sun viciously assailed
Schley, alleging a conversation to his
discredtt on board the Brooklyn at the
moment the battle started. The Sun
named as sponsor for the story Lieu
tenant Commander Hodgson. When
the Suns abuse of Schley had run on
a long time, Hodgson addressed to
Schley letter in which he said: THE
colloquy published in the New York
Sun and alleged to have taken place
between you and me on the day of the
battle off Santiago, July 3, 1893, never
occurred
That was a Knockout. As the organ
of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. society, the
Sun had. to be taken care of. With
haste officialdom ordered an inquiry
which resulted in the official publication
of the fact that Lieutenant Comman-
der Hodgson states that he did not in
tend to convey in his note of denial,
sent at the request Of Admiral Schley,
the idea that no such colloquy took
place" Under the manipulation of
ohicialdom. Hodgson evidently felt the
pressure of the screws. This, indeed,
he felt so perceptibly that he consented
to make an ass of himself-not to apply
the more closely descriptive word to

forced him to say that what he wrote

Just the Thing to Do.

We have been requested to call the
attention of the merchants of this
city to the great desirability of clos
ing their places of business every
evening, except Saturday, at 7o'clock,
during the months OF June, July and
August.
The long, hot days are great
strain on clerks and office men, and
they can render better and more
efficient service If they have this adj
ditional time for rest.

At the conclusion of the reports,
the old Board of Directors was re-

Those present were Judge G.. V.

busy to observe very closely. One
thing we do know though, and that
is that Col. Dehoney said he felt like
he would not want any thing more
to eat for the next week, and that
satisfied us that everybody had held
their own.
Soon after dinner the guests de-
parted, each wishing their big-hearted
host many long years of honorable
and useful service.
The directors reelected Col. Tom
Rodman as President; "A. w. Over
