The Administrations treatment OF Ad-
miral schley in connection with tho
Dewey celebration IN New York is an in
dslible disgrace to Il. The position Schloy
holds I'm the esteem Of tho men OF the
navy-the men who constitute the real
navy-is shown by Admiral Dewey's re-
ception Of him. Schley being shut out Of
the stand when the city's cup was to be
presented 10 Dewey by an inconsiderate
sateman. climbed over the railing hko a
Joyous schoolboy TO be with his old com-
rade when this great honor was con-
ferred upon him. When Dewey saw him
he rushed up TO him and putting his arm
around his neck exclaimed. MY dear
schley. I cannot tell you how glad am
to see you Admiral" said Schley-
Don't YOU Admiral me" Dewey cut in,
1--WE are boys again to-day, n j won't
have any formalities from you Schley
is an honor to the United states navy, lie
is one of the very best men it ever had,
and he IS so regarded by the men of the
navy who make il the great institution
that II f..
Yet how did he appear in the great
festivities of New York? lie came to the
city Ike any private citizen. put up at a
hotel totally unnoticed. viewed the ships
parade which every sailor longed to see
from such a position as he could Fire,
and was as totally unnoticed as if he had
never fred a shot for his country's de-
fence.
And this man had commanded his
%country's fee in the greatest naval bat
tie Of modern times when "a perform
ance was enacted that made all the ma
lions OF the earth stand aghast and won
der what could befall themselves IL those
vikings got after them. In any other
country Schley would have represented
his nation i'm a celebration of that sort in
"a position of honor second only TO that OF
the greatest Of the occasion.
But where was Sampson while Schley
was playing this Cinderella part? Blazon-
cd out in all the luxury of gold lace and
starry %epaulets, he was commanding the
nnest feet the world ever saw, and bols-
tered up by every influence the Admins
tration could command. he was doing his
little best to impose upon the world with
Srhley's stolen laurels. IL is a shame. it
Is a crying shame. that makes every
honest American. every man who knows
a man and who admires courage. skill.
and knowledge. blush for his country.
But Schley had his recompense. The
people knew who was the hero of San
iiago. and they gave schley an ovation
that would have made the heart Of any
man who ever performed great deeds
swell with grateful pride. The cheers he
received and the flowers the ladies heaped
upon him told him IN unmistakaDle Ian
guage that his fellow citizens were per-
fectly well aware OF what he had done
Tor them. and they told him that he was
enshriped in their hearts where petty
personal enemies who happened 10 con-
troll the agencies If government could
never reach him 10 eclipse one ray OF his
splendid glory. He Is safe In the hearts |
OF his fellow citizens and HIS place IN his
tory Is secure. 50 that he may well say !

some fashiight pictures which he brings
back with him abundantly prove. He
says that all towns having an average
population Of FIVE hundred people have
the open saloon.
lions Herald in commenting on this
says that the fiction in regard to the State
of Maine that prohibition prohibits is ut
terly exploded by Mr.. Sherwell. adding
that # is unwise and wrong to delude
the public by insisting upon positions in
regard to the execution OF the prohIbitory
law In that state which cannot possibly
be maintained. It is better. it says, that
the facts be known. however much pro-
h~ibitionists may regret the situation.
Prohibition is necessarily a failure be-
cause a prohibitory law Furnishes the In
nocent for the misdoings Of the guilty.
There are comparatively few drunkards
i'm the world. comparatively few people
who use liquor TO the hurt Of themselves
or others. yet the prohibitionists say Cnat
because the few abuse spirits, therefore
the many shall not use spirits to their
pleasure or benefit. That is why pro-
hiblton in Maine is a failure and it will
be a failure wherever 1t is undertaken.
The use Of ardent spirits per Sc IS not a
crime. and any law which attempts TO
make it a criminal offense to drink tenn
perately will soon become a dead letter.
But while prohibition is losing ground
temperance is gaining ground every day.
There is less and less drunkenness
throughout the land as statistics show
But we do not need statistics. Every
observant man has discovered this for
himself. in this age there is no place for
the drunkard, either in society or in the
business world. lie is an outcast and a
wanderer upon the face Of the earth. As
civilization progresses temperance senti-
ment becomes strong and stronger. The
liquor problem is solving itself.
