TROUBLES COME AND 90.


Now that the President has received and
endorsed the whitewash report of the beei
investigating committee, as every one knew
and supposed he would from its very incep
ton, and the Coghlan incident over the
wine table hushed or blown over, he will
be able 10 face and adjust the difficulty
which now exists in the Samoan Islands.
The Commissioners have set sail for Apia,
and their instructions are identical in 80 iar
as they provide for the restoration OF order
in the islands on the basis Of strict adherence
10 the Berlin treaty.
Order being restored in Samoa, the greal
problem of the future disposition of the
islands will come up. 1t is generally ad
mitted that the present government under
the Berlin treaty is not satisfactory, but il
is difficult to see how a settlement can be
reached except by division OF the territory
involved among the three powers. Germany
is very anxious TO secure control of the en-
tire group TO the exclusion of the other two
powers. She hopes TO do this by offering
compensation in other directions. Grea'
Britain is certainly adverse to turning the
islands over TO Germany altogether, bu
no doubt could be bought over by conces
sions of African territory. The United
States will without doubt insist upon {
naval station in Samoa, and it is not appar
ent how this difficulty can be got over, al
compensation in other directions would
probably not be accepted.
Although difficulties are foreseen, 1t is
nevertheless probable that calm discussion
will discern a satisfactory way out OF tn
difficulty.

A NATIONAL SCANDAL.

Il ia known that the President has been
confronted with some complex and painful
lessons from the circles Of the army and
navy. 1t has been stated that evidence has
lately been multiplied exhibiting spirit of
characterization in both army and navy
that is rapidly ssppng the foundation OF
discipline, dignity and selfrespect among
many of our army and navy officers.
If this characterization, that Is insensibly
ont of lack OF discipline and lack OF sanctity
for the prophecies of officers in the army
and navy, had its foundation in the ranks
mr. among subaterns, it could be speedily
and effectively checked, but unfortunately
IL has its source in the fountain OF army and
navy authority, and draws its inspiration
from the very highest army and navy sources.
The country has not failed TO note the mul-
tiplied evidences OF this great and growing
decentralization to the shame OF the nation,
and If the President, the Secretary of War
and the Secretary Of the Navy have failed
to appreciate 1t, it must be because Wash
ington rarely hears the truth.
The fountain Of this decentralization is in
the War and Navy Departments, and the
one person who must be answerable TO the
country for it is President Mckinley. 1t is
not his creation, 1t has not been Intentionally
supported by him, but others have used his
authority In both army and navy until the
scandal has become universal and the recoil
must be upon the President alone. AS long
as he shall permit the present heads of the
Army and Navy Departments to remain in
his Cabinet he accepts the responsibility
and must accept the retribution they are
certain to bring.
President Mckinley must stop this ap'
palling decentralization in the army and
navy, and stop it at once, If he would not
have a fearful recoil of popular condemna'
ton upon him. 1t is high time that he
should have il understood throughout the
army and navy that the Army and Navy
Departments can have no favorites except
those who come with distinguished merits
TO commend them, and that he who seeks to
degrade his fellow officers, and especially
those who seek to dishonor their superior
officers, must meet with certain punishment
rather than advancement.
This spirit Of INSTRUMENTATION and discord
is now rife throughout the army and navy
until il has grown to he huge national
scandal, and it is due to the single cause of
incompetent or dishonest authority in the
Army and Navy Departments, for which
only President Mckinley will be held re-
sponsible.
What we have written are naked and ap
palllng facts, and are known to every I'M
biased officer of prominence In both army
and navy, and they are well known to the
patriotic people of the entire country.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

A remarkably large number of the men,
bers of the General Assembly of Maryland
were appointed to Office after the adjourn
ment of the last session. The term of office
of all the members Of the House and of half
the Senate expires next November and as
there was never any probability of an extra
session the appointments of such members
had no special significance. But one or
more of the hold over Senators accepted
appointments TO other Office and these may
be important In their results. Unless there
Is a political tidal wave one way or the
other the next Senate will be very close and
from the present outlook there Is little like.
lihood of majority OF more than one or
two for either party. There are thirteen hold.
over Senators, or twelve exclusive of John
Walter Smith, who has been elected to Con
gress and will resign from the Senate. OF
these the Democrats have four, namely
Crothers, of Cecil; Applegarth, OF Dorches
ter; Bouic, of Montgomery, and Clagett, of
Prince Georges. The Republicans have
eight, namely, Dick, of Allegany; Putzel
of Baltimore city; Messick, of Caroline !;
Gray, of Charles; Ravenscroft, Of Garrett !;
Williams, Of Hartford; Wilkinson, of st..
Mary's, and Dodson, Of Talbot In order
to control the Senate Of 1900 the Democrats
must elect ten Senators, while II is only ne
cessary for the Republicans to elect four,
unless some Of their hold. over Senators are
lost by their acceptance Of Office. The case
of Senator Henry g Dodson has been re
ferred TO In this connection aud II has been
said that he has accepted an Office under the
Federal government. Section 10, article 3,
of the constitution Of Maryland is as fol.
lows: mo member Of Congress, or person
holding any civil or military Office under
the United States shall be eligible as Sena-
tor or Delegate; and II any person shall,
after his election as Senator or Delegate, be
elected to Congress, or be appointed 10 any
office, civil or military, under the govern
ment Of the United States, his acceptance
thereof shall vacate his seat"
All this is sufficiently plain and explicit,
but the constitution does not appear 10 have
provided any method for enforcing this pro. |
vision. Each house is "the judge OF the |
qualifications aud elections Of It's members
as prescribed by the constitution and laws |
of the State" and each house has been |
known more than once to violate both con-
stitution and laws. II might be, II the con.
troll OF party should depend upon a single
vote, that the party would not be willing to
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1899-05-12

surrender its control In order TO obey the
constitution. There does not appear to be
any method by which the matter can be
brought into court. The Comptroller of the
Treasury might refuse TO pay the per diem,
but the Senator might not make any de-
mand for salary until the end of the session.
1t has been said in regard TO the Talbot
Senator, that the Democrats will nominate
successor TO Senator Dodson and should
the supervisors Of election decline TO place
the name of the candidate on the official
ballot they will ask the court for man
damus. That may be done and the man
damus granted and the Senator elected and
still the Senate may refuse TO admit him
OF course all this upon the assumption that
Mr.. Dodson has Federal Office and that
having such an Office he will wish to hold
on to his seat in the Senate, and this as.
sumption may be wrong. But in any event
the question is an interesting one at this
time and may become one OF great practical
importance.
Senators are 10 be elected next fall in
Anne Arundel, first and third Baltimore
city districts, Baltimore county, Calvert
Carroll, Frederick, Howard, Kent, Queen
Anne's, Somerset, Washington, WicomicC

two city districts and Kent, and they also

HITTING THE NEWSPAPERS.

The Morris county Board of Free
holders has been struck with spasm of
economy, and in looking around for ex-
penses to lop off they have fallen on the
newspapers. For years it has bean the
practice of that county to pay for the
publication of the report of the County
Collector every three months in mum
Der of newspapers.
Following the example of their emil
nent superiors, the New Jersey Legisla-
ture,. the Morris county Legislators have
decided to stop this business and instead
of printing the reports in the only place
they will be seen by the citizens of the
bailiwick, they will give them direct
route to the wastepaper basket by hav-
ing them issued in pamphlet form. The
Collectors report is one of the most in
teresting documents of the county and it
is duty which the Freeholders owe to
their constituents to have the facts and
figures in this report spread before the
public in manner that will reach the
largest number of persons.
The money appropriated for news
paper advertising is judiciousIy and
effectively used, but money expended for
printing pamphlet containing the SUBJ
stance of this report is thrown away. It
is not the sort of economy that is best for
the interests of the community. Plain
field ConstitutiOndlist.

miring friends many more opportunities

privilege to hear on Tuesday morning.

SUNDAY SCHOOL JUBILEE.

The statement is made that several
millions American boys and girls do not
attend any Sunday schools. A fea-
ture of the diamond jubilee of the Ameri-
can Sunday school Union which is to be
held in Philadelphia on Sunday, May 90,
is to try to arouse interest in Sunday
schools to the intent that this vast num-
Der be decreased. The union grew out
of a First Day Society, Philadelphia
Quaker institution, and became recog-
nized in the early part of the century as
filling need in its line similar to that
filled in other lines by the American
Bible Society.
The whole country nearly is covered
by men at work upon this Sunday school
extension, and last year no fewer than
1850 new schools were started, general
ly in school houses, log cabins, some
times in barns and vacant stores. No
fewer than 121, $50 personal visits were
made to families. mainly in the noun
tain districts of Kentucky and Tennessee.
The celebration of seventy-ive years
of such effort is to take place next week.
General Joseph Wheeler, Admiral Phil
lip, the Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills,
the Rev. w. R. King, of st. Louis;
Dwight L. Moody, and many others will
take part. 1t is interesting to know that
nearly four new schools day have been
organized for each day of the seventy
five years now to be celebrated. and that
the number of children taught in the
Unions schools has reached the enormous
total of almost 100000. The Union
makes the special request that churches
everywhere. and Sunday schools also,
make some reference to the Union and
its work on Trinity Sunday, the 2Sth
instant
