OhadwIok's Attack on schIev.


The partisan attacks upon Rear
Admiral Schley have eliminated
with the bitter and senseless in
vective used by Captain Chadwick
in a recent interview. When Cap
tain Chadwick states that he would
not shake hands with SchleY he
exercises a personal prerogative.
But when he assumes that no.
body else in the navy would shake
hands with Schley, his animosity
becomes idiotic. This is the silly
feature Of Chadwick's criticism
and may be overlooked.
But Chadwick, throwing caution
to the winds, and relying upon
Administration backing, deliber-
atelY sets himself up as candidate
for court martial.
He says: "EVery one Of us feels
the disgrace that Schley put upon
u.s." The large "Us" with which
Captain Chadwick brings in the
entire navy would be impressive
coming from another source. He
doubtless fOrgets that Rear Ad-
miral Schley was complimented
by the President and was proposed
tor promotion Tor conspicuous
good conduct in battle.
Since lighting the battle of San.
tiago Rear Admiral Schley has
been promoted to a position next
to that OF Admiral Dewey. This
only intensifes the bitterness o.
Captain Chadwick's gall. He
speaks oil Schley as having beer
"guilv OF a disgraceful exhibition
OF pettiness.
These are words for which
Chadwick should be summary
court martaled. He should no
forget that Rear Admiral Schlel
is his superior officer. And if HI
does, Secretary Long, as the de
lender and conservatOr Of nava
ethics and discipline, should re
mind him.

Is this war, or only Plain Killing2
II cannot have escaped notice
that recently the dispatches cabled
from the Philippines, whether press
dispatches or official communi-
cations from the military recluse
of Manila" as Gen. Otis has been
happily styled, have been less in
the nature OF reports OF fighting
done by our troops than simple
records Of the number OF FIlipinos
killed by them from day to day or
week to week. thus on April "a
and as we had detailed accounts
furnished Of the number OF killed
during the week, including April
10, which seems to have been a
regular field daV for that sort OF
thing. Thus on that day General
Otis reports 334 natives killed at
Batoc, in northern Luzon, by the
troops operating under General
Young, our loss at the same time
being killed and 4 wounded. A
press correspondent, referring to
the same affair. says that to the
number OF killed by actual count
there should be added at least an
equal number OF natives who died
from their wounds owing to the
lack OF surgeons and hospital ap-
pliances among the Filipinos, their
wounded dying uncared for in the
Jungle. One thousand, according
to this correspondent, was a reas-
enable estimate Of the total OF the
Filipino losses in killed, wounded
and prisoners, as against the Z
killed and 4 wounded on our side,
Officers arriving at Manila from
NueVa Carceres, province Of Cam
arines, in southern Luzon, give
details of a Eight" stated to have
occurred there also on the 10th oi
April, in which 80 Filipinos were
killed by a detachment Of the
Forty. fifth Infantry, with Maxim
guns, operating under orders from
General Bell. The Filipinos are
described as being armed only
with bolos, or long knives, and
equipped with helmets, coats and
shields made Of buffalo hides. II
is naively added that the bolo men
never got near enough to the
Americans, provided with Krag.

Trumpery but Costly Trade.

The memorial which the Manila
Chamber Of Commerce lays before
Congress is exceedingly interest
Jag and clarifying. 1t ADDS to the
proof already furnished by our
treatment OF Porto Rico that il we
are blessing to our new posses
sions the blessing is most COM
pletely disguised. AS Grosvenor
said, it is evident that the CONNER.
cial friends and bene6ciaries of the
Republican party are going to
make all the money out OF the
transaction" that is possible. The
oppressive tax on Porto Rico is by
an act Of Congress. The Execu-
tive has done quite as we'll in the
Philippines. 1t is McKinley's tax
there, ami he is taxing trade out of
existence.
Some one has estimated that the
war, waged to preserve the trade
we are killing by taxation, is cost
ing the country SLooo,ooo a day.
This may be an exaggeration, but
the army in the PhilippirsAal alone
is costing S1oo, 900, 600 ysSr, and
when to this are added the in
creased cost Of the navy, the cost
Of the civil government and the in
creased cost Of our home govern
ment on account OF the Philippines,
it will be seen that the eXsggera-
ton is not so great as at first sight
it may appear.
At its best estate, what is this
trade for which we are paying so
much? How much are Mr.. Gros-
venors friends to make out OF the
transaction? The Division OF Gus
toms and Insular Affairs OF the
War Department tells US in its last
monthly bulletin. For four months
ending October 81 last .he total
imports OF the Philippines were
S8,9ta,5ar and the total exports
ss,774,o4o. The whole foreign
commerce Of the Philippines at
this rate would about equal that OF
the port Of New York for one good
shipping day.
OF this twopenny trade the
United States in the four months
exported and imported goods Of
the value Of S2,Is4a45, a COM
msrce Of about SO, SOC. 600 a year,
on which the profit 70 the friends
OF Mckinley, Hanna, Grosvenor &
Co. would be at the ou side $685.
600. Il we continue to tax the
trade too heavily of course the
profit will be less.

contained in soldiers letters, pub
lished earlier in the "war," about
the fun to be derived from pot
ting njggers."
The question may be asked,
How long is this cruel and brutal
izing sport to be kept up7 Until
alter the election, it may be safely
assumed. Already Republican
politicians are quoting Tor McKin-
ley's benefit the saying attributed
to Abraham Lincoln about the
Jolly OF swapping horses while
crossing the stream" We all
understand that Mr.. Mckinley is
the steed that has dragged US into
these turbulent waters and exposed
the Republic to the imminent dam
ger Of being swamped or swept
away by the stream. There are
many who will fail to appreciate
the wisdom OF following such an
unsafe guide into still deeper
waters and greater perils, espec-
tally when there is yet time to es-
cape from further danger by re-
gaining the safe and familiar shore
which we have been induced to
quit But for Mckinley there
would be no hazardous stream to
cross. Still, in order to make Lin
coins ADVICE about Swapping
horses" applicable It is necessary
to keep up the war, or at least the
the semblance OF war, to say moth
ing OF the army OF officials and con-
tractors who would be grievouslY
disappointed if the war were to
come too suddenly to an end.
So, if the Filipinos will not fight
or cannot fight, having nothing but
knives left to fight with, we can
continne shooting and killing them
all the same and report the result
OF each weeks "bag" to Washing
ton.
The remarkable thing S the lit
tie impression that all these hor-
rors and this useless bio odshed
seem to make upon the public
mind. Even the religious con-
science of the country seems to be
asleep upon the subject Of the
wickedness Of war-ot such war as
we are waging upon helpless peo
pie 1000 miles from our shores
who never did US harm and whose
only fault is that Mr.. Mckinley,
for 81, ,ooo, 900, bought them, their
country, their liberty and their in
dependence from Spain. Senator
Hoar has eloquentlY demonstrated
not the wickednes5 OF war in gen.
eral, but of this particular war o.
conquest, and now, it seems, oI
determination which we are wag.
ing against the Filipinos. We
listen in vain, however, to hear
even his voice raised in Congress
in favor Of stopping this cruel and
according to him, wholly unjusti-

ple-innocent. that is, OF all cause
Of ofense so far as we are con-

WHAT MEN ARE WEARING.

Brown boots are getting darker in
the shade of the leather, and the va
riety of leather known as willow
calf" is likely to permanently sup
plant the more brittle Russia leather.
The long vamps SO much in vogue
should always be ordered, but the
very pointed toes, even for those who
can wear them, are going out of fash
ion.
Flannel suits will be much worn
again this summer, but dark patterns
should be chosen for town or suburban
wear, as they do not look shabby near
1y. as quickly as light shades. By
shabby" reference is not made to
soiled appearance, but, as flannel will
lose it's shape quicker than tweed,
dark suit slightly out of the original
perfect chang" is not SO unsightly as
a wrinkled light brown, for instance.
Frock coats are still worn long and
of very dark gray or black. II in the
former, then the material must be
rough. For summer wear tailors are
not pressing the lapels, SO when
worn open in the hot weather they
hang better. The ''check" button in
side, to fasten the lower button of the
inside flap to, should always be care
fully fastened before buttoning the
coat up, as it will preserve its shape
so much longer.
AS regards ties for day wear. those
known as four-in-hands, with wide or
"apron" ends, are still In vogue, and
a. the variety of patterns in these are
inexhaustible and Of much better de-
signs of silk, they will remain Popu-
lar. While on this matter, men should
consider that, i'm the summer, when
wearing light colored linen waist
coats, dark ties should be worn. With
dark cloth waistcoats they can wear a
scarf as light as they like.
Blue serge suits will never 60 out,
and double breasted coats are becom-
ing more popular this spring than ever,
but should be worn only by slight men;
stout figures should always have single
breasted coats. Only two pockets must
be made outside, the outside breast
pocket being sschewed altogether. Its
convenience is no reoompense for its
rapid transition to unshapeliness and
shabbiness. Tweed suits must never
DO made double breasted--N. Y. Her

WOrkmen.

Talking about the queer ways some peo-
pie have of sizing up mans capabilities
for job, said a resident of Paterson, n.

boss carpenter named Hobart, who had one
question which be always asked of journey
men. who applied to him for employment
If the applicant was found to possess all
the other necessary qualifications Hobart
would ask:
'sWhat are your favorite tunes?"
''Why, what do you want to know that
for?"

On the contrary, if the applicant answered;

FOR ny LADY,s LETTERS.

The coqui1le paper, which has. an
egg-shell finish, il much in demand.
Monograms and crests are smaller
the winter, and are invariably inside
. circle.
The majority of the tinted papers at
present are made with very narrow
white border. Both the oblong and the
square envelopes are used.
Deep-tinted papers, with the excep-
ton of the new fad of khaki, are sell
dom used by the woman Of refinement.
The pale tints are the fashion of the
moment. Delicate heliotrope. pistachio
green. pale blue and faint gray are all
in favor.
An envelope novelty which promises
to be favorite is oblong in shape, with
the flap extending diagonally across
the back of the envelope, and the point,
instead of being in the center, as usual,
is at the extreme lefthand corner.
Khaki paper is much used by the
young person addicted to fads. But
it is not an attractive paper. Khaki
color. that dull shade of Manila brown,
is anything but pleasing. The Khaki
paper can be bought plain, and also
with a narrow red, white or dark blue
border.
The ergandie paper is a special favor
lite at present. There is just a sug-
gestion of resemblance in it's weave to
the organdie so much used for summer
gowns. It can now be bought in the
bond paper, as well as thicker quality,
and comes in heliotrope. blue and
white.
The woman who always does the cor
rect thing never perfumes her note pa
per. She never uses paper of strik-
ingly pronounced tint, and she does
not change it with every whim of fash
ion. She adopts style of paper which
she intends to make distinctively her
| own, and then clings to it.
The most approved tint for writing
paper at present is pistachio green. And
the women who are fortunate enough
to have a country house have the name
OF their summer home printed in white
letters at the top of the green sheet
It is matter of individual fancy
whether the paper has white border
or not. It is equally correct either
way. The pistachio green paper is
also stamped with the owners mono
gram in very small white letters inside
a circlet of silver

F.ble OF the small Bira.

Once upon a time there was a bantam
rooster with an immense opinion of HIM
self, and as he stood in the barnyard he
said:

Wherefore he began to crow Justify, al
though he had nothing much to crow
about.
Now it happened that far above the ban
tam a hawk was wheeling in the circum-
ambient air. The hawk had not seen the
bantam, owing to the latter's diminutive
proportions, but when the bantam erowed
the hawk heard and IN about 4S seconds
winging his flight homeward, while all was
still below.
