NAVAL PROMOTION DECLINED.
high SENSE OF HONOR DIS
PLAYED BY OFFICERS.
Refuse to Accept Advancement Over
Brother Officers Equally Deserving
S Admiral Higginson, Lieut.. Ward

Washington. March 1.-Two things,
in the opinion Of Secretary Long, so
creditable to the naval service that
they deserve to be made public have oc-
Cured recently. One is the request of
Admiral Higginson, which is contained
in the following letter:
Washington, d. c., March 10, 1890
Sir: L respectfully request to be allow
ed to resume my former number on
the naval list after Rear Admiral
kempff. While deeply grateful to the
president and yourself for my nominal
ton for work done off Santiago, 1 do
not regard my own services as so con-
spicuous as to warrant my advance
ment while the other commanding Of
ficers nominated at the same time as
myself go unrewarded. They were a.
gallant band of naval officers, and GER
tainly deserved well Of their country,
and if their services are to go unrecOg-
nized, l desire to share the same fate.
Very respectfully,
FRANCIS ]. HIGGINSON,
Rear Admiral, U. S. n.
ITO Hon J. S. Long, Secretary of the
Navy"
Admiral Higginson's name was on the
long list sent to the senate by the presi-
dent for advancement for services off
Santiago. Probably by inadveTtence,
Admiral Higginson was confirmed
apart from the rest, which the senate
adjourned without confirming.
Secretary Long has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the admiral:
VIII you let me express my high ap-
probation OF your very handsome and
considerable conduct in asking to re-
sumo your former number on the navy
list. rather than to accept the advance
ment which places you above other Of
ficers who, for their gallant services in
the recent war, deserved recognition.
but failed to receive it, owing to the
failure Of the senate to act upon the
dent. The spirit which you manifest is
so admirable that 1 hasten to write
you this letter."
The other is the case of Lieutenant
Aaron Ward, who was recommended by
the board of promotions for advance
ment. On learning of this he wrote to
the department, declining advance
ment, inasnuch as it gave him Drece-
dence over his classmate, Lieutenant
Stanton, stating that he did not feel
that the actions in which his vessel
We're engaged were of so great value
as 10 justify him in awaiting himself of
the opportunity.
1T is impossible" said he, for me
willingly to accept q promotion which
deprives such an officer Of a commits
sion in the highest grade
The recommendation made by the
board of promotions in the case OF
Lieutenant Ward was not sent in to the
senate all the promotions recommends
ed by that board having been held back
TO await the result of those which have
been pending since the opening of the
session, and which the senate adjourn
ed without confirming.

vested Rights and vested wrongs.


When it comes to the question OF
vested rights versus human rights and
the conflict becomes unbearabie, civili-
zation demands that the former step
aside that humanity may rise. In this
robbing, trust-ridden age we seem to
place vested rights higher than human
rights, and in doing so we confess the
majority of the so-called vested rights
are nothing more nor less than vested
wrongs When one views the condi-
tions arising between labor and capital,
and views them without malice or pref
udice, the fact becomes at once mani
fest that so-called political economists
at the head of political parties forget
the fact that hate breeds hate, cruelty
begets cruelty, kindness develops
kindness and justice builds just condi-
tions. What we need now is justice,
not charity and the purchased opinions
