THE sAMPsoN-sCHLEY CASE.

President Mckinley, who is noted for
his ability to smooth matters over be-
tween warning political factions, has
undertaken to quiet the Sampson
Schley controversy by proposing to ap-
point both officers Vice Admirals, to
which end he will ask Congress 20 re-
vive the grade and title at the present
session.
Mr. McKinley's intention is pacific
but if he thinks this would settle the
controversy he is mistaken and would
better leave the matter rest as It is.
In appointing Sampson and Schley
Vice Admirals the President proposes
to name Sampson first. This would
simply make bad matter worse. In
promoting both to be Rear Admirals
Schley was made SIMPSONS senior but
IL Sampson were named ahead of
Schley in the further promotion of both
it would make that officer Schley's
senior. which would be a manifest
injustice.
Moreover, the question might be
asked: What has Sampson done to de-
serve promotion at all?

AS TO BARBARIsM IN SOUTH
AFRICA.

No less a person than the gallant
commander of the British forces in
South Africa, Gen. Butler, himself, re-
flutes the charges published in England
against the Beers alleging cruelty and
uncivilized methods of warfare. This
testimony from the other side is good
evidence and would suffice, even if we
lid not have the counter evidence
contained in numerous Instances of
gallantry, military honor and humane
forbearance on the part of the Beers.
1t is unfortunate that as much can
not be said for the English. Already
we have referred to the long list of
cruelties and barparities officially sub
mitted by the Boer authorities to the
foreign consuls 1t Pretoria. Now comes
another instance of outrage by Brit
ish troops that savors strongly of the
methods of the naked warriors of the
African interior. The Boer authorities
allege that the Fifth (British) Lancers
massacred 60 burghers at Elangslaagte
after they had thrown down their
arms. and the awful charge is receiv-
ing confirmation in private letters from
the Lancers themselves. One officer
writes to the London Times as fol-
lows:
After the enemy were driven out one
of our squadrons pursued and got right in
among them in the twilight, and most ex-
cellent igsticking ensued for about 10
minutes, the bag being about co. One of
our men stuck his lance through two. kill
ing both at one thrust Had it not been
drawing dark we should have killed many
more"
A Dragon corporal told a London
Chronicle correspondent: THE Beers
fell off their horses and rolled among
the rocks, hiding their heads with
their arms, calling for mercy calling
to be shot, anything to escape a stab
from those terrible lances through
their backs and bowels. But not many
escaped. We just gave them a good
dig as they lay. Next day most of the
lances were bloody"
Another Lancer trooper writes of the
same incident: 1--WE got charge at
them. They threw up their arms and
fell on their knees for mercy, but we
were told not to give them any, and l
can assure you they got none. We
went along, sticking our lances through
them. 1t was terrible thing
The accounts of this barbaric mas
sacre read like passages from Stanley's
or Du Chaillu's observations among
the sayages of Darkest Africa or from
history of pioneer experiences with the
American Indian, or anything but ex-
tracts from the letters home Of British

soldiers accounting their own methods
OF warfare against equally civilized
white men at the close OF the Nine
teenth Century.
1t we're inconceivable that British Of
ficers, no matter under what stress OF
excitement, should refuse quarter to
surrender and helpless foe, but here
is the testimony of British SOL
diers themselves who took part in the
horrible massacre.

SCIO, O., December Soil opera
lions in this field are on the decrease,
not many wells being under way, and
what operations there are, are widely
scattered around on farm leases. Ohio
Oil Company No. 10, Minard, has been
completed, and is a Is barrel we'll;
Jennings No. l, Nixon, is a 20 barrel
well; Myers & Brown No. 20, Fowler,
is good for 20 barrels.
Hoping and doubling describes the
Cadiz field situation in the eyes of the
operators. The Bricker Oil Company
has drilled in their second well on the
Samuel Robb farm, and their No. 8 on
the Robt. Busby farm. The No. is
600 feet northwest from their first, and
the No. 3 half mile southeast from
No. 1. The one on the Robb farm is
good for over 100 barrels, and the Bus
by farm we'll for 80 barrels. No. of
this company on the Robb farm, has
just been drilled in and is showing for
a big well. Indications are that the
well of Copeland Bros, on the R. j.
Baker farm, three-quarter miles north
west from Bricker No. 1, is good well.
The Hartman Oil Company's well, on
the Junk farm, a half mile north of
Bricker No. l, is dry. Ohio Oil Com
pany, on Rife farm, half mile south of
Bricker No. l, is a buster. The fire
at the Ferguson well has been gotten
out and rig erected and tools are
being fshed for. There is a suspision

What ails Uncle Selby Cullom, any
way? He has introduced a bill for re-
moving the disabilities of soldiers who
received a dishonorable discharge or
who deserted! He says "the time has
arrived when the government can be
magnanimous and forgive any little in
discretion of the soldiers of the civil
war" Isn't this pension business full
enough of fraud as it stands? Since
when did desertion become little in
discretion?" Will it be roll of hon
or" if deserters and those dishonorably
discharged are put on it? And what
about the deserving and honest pen
sioners-are they to be put in such
company? What ails Uncle Cullom,
anyway?

The Japs are no slouches at civilized
methods. Already Japan is making in
reads in diplomatic way in China and
Japanese diplomats are now land-in-
glove with the Empress Dowager. Keep
your eye ON Japan.

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

The action of the Kentucky State
Board of Election Commissioners in
giving the certificate of election to Tay-
lor, the Republican candidate, is not
necessarily final In fact, the Board
simply declined to pass upon the COIL
tests, certifying merely to the face of
the returns.
After a careful consideration of it's
powers under the laws the commits
sioners decided that when sitting as a
Canvassing Board they could not go
the face of the returns the certificates
of election go to Taylor and the other
Republican candidates In it's written
opinion, the Board sets forth that
the facts charged with reference to the
election in a number of counties would,
if proved, be sufficient ground for
throwing out the vote of those coun-
ties, but that the hoard had no right
to hear testimony as to these charges
Willie Acting DIS d CduNdS6luS DUAL u.
In case OF contest. the commissioners
can organize themselves into Con-
testing Board and consider these
charges in all contests excet for Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor. For
these offices, any contest would have to
come before the Legislature. Accord
ing to the Louisville Courier-Journal,
the opinion of the board will leave
little room to doubt that if a contest
for the minor offices is brought before
them as a Contesting Board, the de-
cision would be for the Democrats.
Thus, it will be seen, the decision
of the Board has no effect upon the
contest for Governor, which is simply
thrown into the Legislature.
