An Arrant Eumbug.

A special dispatch to the Chicago Tri-
bune from Omaha, Neb., credits J..
Sterling Morton, formerly a member Of
Cleveland's cabinet, with the intention
of forming a new political party, which
ne declares will be the greatest politi-
cal organization since the formation Of
the Republican party. Discussing the
proposed new party and the sidelights
likely to develop therefrom, Mr.. Morton
says: II have the utmost faith in the
plan. A party will be organized July 1
that will stand for conservatism pre-
eminently. No doubt the platform will
contain some elements common to all
parties; but the keynote will be conser-
vatism. There is vast field for the
new party's operations. The late war
and its monotonous issues, the struggle
of the two great parties over bimetallism,
the rise, the decline and absolute decay
of Populism, all these elements contri-
butte 10 a situation as pregnant as those
which gave birth to the Republican par
ty on the approach Of our civil strife.
If j. Sterling thinks he can humbug
anybody with his new tangled mana
gerie he is mistaken. He was one Of
the most active of the Assistant Re-
publicans in 1896, but he sees that the
dodge that was used then will not work
again, SO he gets up new scheme to
humbug the people in the next election
with the hope that it will aid as did the
gold bug Democratic movement in
1896 in the election of Republican
President. Of all the political quacks
and bumbugs that have come to the sur
face in the last few years j. Sterling
takes the cake. But his race is run,
and he ought to try and reconcile him
self to the fact. Like his old political
boss who dicovered him and imposed
him on the Democracy he is a back
number. He may Quack occasionally
ss above, but he is back number all

FIGHTING BOS'S TITLE.
An Incident in His Career While at An
napoIis.

An Incident in His Career While at An
napoIis.
Fighting Bob Evans earned his
title the first year at Annapolis. He
has made good his claim to it since
wears before he became skipper Of the
Iowa, but Fighting Bob was tackled
to him as a cadet. At the time he was
sent to the naval academy there was
rule of the institution which forbade
the decoration of the walls of the ca
diets headquarters by hanging pictures
thereon or in any way improving upon
the furnishing of the cells. The object
was wise and twofold 1t sought to
prevent tie boys from becoming soft
and luxurious and to head off any ex-
oensive rivalry in the way Of Quitting.
In Il word, the end desired was to pro-
duce hardy and democratic naval Of
fcers. Young Evans fond mother,
like all good women, was a christian,
and with her sons academy equip
ment packed framed motto-a quo
tation from the scriptures, so the le-
gend runs.

motto to the wall. He was told to re-
move it. but declined The contumac-
ious younster was reported from one
officer to another, but resisted argu-
ment and command alike. The mar
row martinets Of the academy resolved
to expel him, and orders were at once
issued to that effect. The story Of the
war spread and at last an officer in
Lincoln's cabinet irtimated very strong
ly to the faculty that they would do
we'll to overlook the Cffencc. Preach
ers were beginning to predicate
sermons upon the noble cadet who
perferred expulsion to taking down
the scriptural text, and, as the
politician said, the chances We're that
if the young man were dropped the
authorities Of the academy would not
last long afterwards. as public sym
pathy was with the boy. 1t was in this
war that Evans became known rs
