Rear Admiral A. e. Crowninshield
chief Of the bureau of navigation, the
one man in America who hates Dewey
has taken occasion in his annual report
to direct an insult against Dewey. In
bemoaning congress failure to reward
Sampson and his officers, Crownin-
shield regrets that "our greatest naval
officer (Sampson) has been sighted
simply because the victory of Manila
bay was won in a more propitious hour.
Those who know that Crowninshield
has always beena bitter rival of Dewey,
that Dewey secured the appointment
to the Asiatic squadron over his head,
thereby depriving Crowninshield of a
chance to win fame, and that even to-
day the two men are not on speaking
terms, will receive this report with the
contempt 1t deserves. 1t may be true
that congress should have made Samp-
son vice admiral or rewarded him in
some other way But disparaging Ad-
miral Dewey and his victory is not the
way to make them do it.

THE ISTHMUS CANAL.

At the coming session of congress,
among other questions which promise
to furnish food for discussion, is that
Of the Isthmus canal, about which for
mer congresses have disagreed and
over which there has been discussion
for the past twenty five years.
At no time in the history of the coun-
try has the question seemingly come so
near its final passage as at the pres
ent time. Commissions have, during
the past five years, gone over all of
the available routes connecting the
Atlantic and the Pacific, and the re-
cent international commercial congress
held at Philadelphia brought together
representatives of the countries who
would be directly interested and bene-
many delegates to that congress was
H. A. Gudger, the United States consul
at Panama, who spoke in favor of the
route contemplated by the Panama
canal. For more than half a century
this route has been conceded as the
most natural waterway connecting the
two oceans. Millions of dollars and
numerous scandals associate them
selves with this project, but today the
canal is completed for a third of its
distance. Within a few years a new
company has come into control of the
Panama canal, company composed of
men of probity. Those who are most
familiar with the plan claim that the
time is ripe for the purchase by this
country of the control of this canal;
the terms of the concessions which
may be obtained are extremely liberal,
and it is further claimed that the re-
public of Colombia would hail with
pleasure the ownership of this route by
the United States.
The passage of the battleship Oregon
around the Horn during the recent war
proved conclusively the advantages
which would accrue to this country by
the possession of a waterway through
the Isthmus of Panama. From a
commercial standpoint, the advantages
to the commerce Of this country can
not be over estimated The markets
of the east would in short time be-
come ours. 1t is to be hoped that con-
gress viii accord to this question the
consideration that is it's due.

other departments of the government
here that have been rolling up sur
plus during the last fiscal year.
Among these is the money order
system of the post Office department.
According to the last report there was
a total increase in the orders issued of
over $20,000,O0O, while the total earn
ings of the system aggregated about a
million and half dollars, showing an
increase Of about 100000. So that il
will be seen that the money order de-
partment may we'll say to the mint
there are others"

The report of the Philippine commits
sion leaves no room for doubt that the
company of scholars and warriors sent
to investigate the political and military
situation in the Philippine archipelago
deem the Flipinos utterly incapable OF
government. At most they viii
only be fitted to act as co-operators
with American administrators. The
moral of the report is Keep the is
lands Dewey signs his name with
the rest. There will now be no more
twaddle about the admirars high opin-
ion of the Filipinos as lawmakers and
rulers

The will of Ottmar Mergenthaler, the
inventor of the famous linotype, is
ample evidence Of the rare good sense
that characterized his entire life. To
his widow, to whom he bequeathed
one-third of his estate, he left the fol-
lowing explicit directions. 81 advise
you to place your financial affairs, af-
ter my death, in the hands of the same
individuals and corporations to whom
the other part of my estate is entrust-

you against loaning money to relatives
and friends and against endorsing
notes or obligations or consigning any
part of your interest in your property
except in a possible contingency, to
your children"

THE PRIZE FIGHT.

While The Spy yields to the demand of
large percentage of it's readers to fur
nish all the news, and while it presents
this morning the full and complete rec
ord of the prize fight in New York, in
which so much interest is manifested,
we must not be counted among those
who approve of the brutal and degrad-
ing features of these contests. We can
not be expected to have our views fol-
lowed in matters of public taste and
opinion.
In war news, in sporting news, in any
kind of news, The Spy will supply any
legitimate request for information.
There is no denying the fact that there
is a widespread interest in such con-
tests. We may deprecate the fact, but

KEPT HIS TOBACCO.
Fifteen Years to Acquire the Proper
Flavor For Use.


Flavor For Use.
"Apropos of heavy black tobacco" re-
marked dealer, II used to have a num-
ber of customers who smoked cigarettes
made of straight perique Some few re-
main, but could count them on one
hand, and the habit is so to speak, ex
tinot. 1 doubt whether it was as injurious
to the health as some have claimed, and
had pretty good opportunity to watch its
effects
"For over 20 years 1 have sold tobacco
to one of the most confirmed and enthu-
siastic perique smokers in New Orleans
He was past middle age when he first
came to my shop and is still halo and Wig
orous, his eyes as bright as bird and
his hand as steady as a rock. He buys
his tobacco in bulk, atterward cutting it
to suit himself, and, like number o.
other old time smokers, he can detect ex
quisitely slight differences in flavor among
a lot of rolls or carrots 1t is very interest
ing to see him pick out supply for pri-
vate ripening, something he attends to at
intervals, Just as one might keep up a
wine cellar.
"He proceeds on the theory, believe
that the leaf is at its best between IL and
10 years after having been put away and
has each roll carefully dated, so as to en-
able him to consume perique Of approx
mately that date from season to season.
As it ages the tobacco assumes beautiful
deep black brown and doesn't resemble
ordinary tobacco at all. This particular
old gentleman 1 have in mind has shown
me pieces that looked like ebony. He
moistens them with dash of sherry and
water, whittles off what he wants with a
penknife, rolls it up with quick turn OF
the wrist and walks away putting cloud
of smoke that would lift the average
young clubman clear off his feet.
GAS remarked before, however, there
are very few of the old time perique
smokers still alive-I doubt If there are
over five or six now left who continue &c
keep up their annual stocks. New Or
