Referring to Admiral Deweys presi-
Dental aspirations, ex-senator John
]. ingalls, says 1T is unfortunate for
the fame Of Dewey that he did not
remain indefinitely at Manila. The
perspective was greatly to his adyan-
tage, and distance lent enchantment to
the view. He was a hero at Manila,
but ever since he landed in New York
the bran and sawdugt has been rum
ming out Of him. Everything he has
said and done has sunk him steadily
In public estimation. All his utter
ances have been cheap, weak and silly,
and his conduct has been feeble and
yacillating to the edge Of imbecility.
Somebody has buncoed the admiral
His candidacy is ridiculous. His ig-
norance Of politics and public issues
and public duties is pathetic. Since
Hancock's announcement in the Gar
field campaign that the tariff was
local question, which he had heard
mentioned at Norristown, Pa, there
has been nothing so absurd as Dew

that is legitimate campaign weapon
from q democratic standpoint. Tue
fact is, however. that the war taxes
are likely to continue on the statute
books for some time to come. In the
first place. AS Secretary Gage has
shown. in spite OF its present surplus,
the government cannot afford to take
any chances on the possible need %

journment OF this congress and the
meeting OF the next one. Then. too,

in time OF peace as well as war. 1t
may not turn out to be nearly so un-
popular among the people as the dem
ocrats reckon on. There are many
thinking people who advocate a re-
duction in customs duties rather than
of internal taxes. Whenever the
question comes up in congress the
whole matter Of customs and internal
revenue taxes is sure to be thrashed
over, and the passing OF a new law is a
task which will require a good deal Of
consideration and much time. For that
reason. If for no other, it is quite i'm
practicable to entertain the PROPOSE
tion Of reducing war taxes at this ses-
sion. The republican party met the
responsibility Of settling up the af-
fairs succeeding the country's last
great war, and it did it, not merely
without any help from the democrats,
but in spite of their opposition. In
the light Of past experience, there

upon the republicans as competent to
deal with any situation growing out
Of the little wars with Spain and in the
Philippines. and the democrats will

The report on the naval appropria-
tion bill made by Representative Foss,
Of Illinois, acting chairman Of the
naval committee, contains one piece
Of information that will crafty every
patriotic American. 1t is that IS per
cent Of the officers and seamen in the
American navy are American citizens,
and that Of the u per cent that are
not American citizens, -fourths
have taken out their first papers.
Ninety-one per cent of the appren-
tees are n5tive-b born Americans. Sew
entecn years ago, Congressman Foss
shows. the United States stood TWEEN
tieth on the list Of naval powers. Now
we are fourth, Great Britain being
first, France second, and Russia third,
with Germany very good fifth. Since
1888 the United States has expended
almost a hundred million dollars on
new ships for its navy. The exact
sum is ,529,511s5 while the vessels
now under construction will cost sG2,-

No man in the United States navy
knows any better-although all other
navel officers perhaps know quite as
Nell-who was the real hero Of San
tiago than does Admiral Winfield S.
Schley. in the sense OF knowing who It
was that planned the tactics which won
that battle and made the total des-
truction OF Cevera's fleet possible. No
man knows better who is entitled as
commanding officer to the credit Of
that great victory than does this same
Admiral Schley. No man in the United
States navy could so effectually set
tie the confusion in the country's
mind on that proposition as Admiral
Schley. Yet Schley has refused to
speak the words which would have
carried conviction to the layman mind;
that would have settled all controversy
long ago and given that disputed hon
or where it belongs. Never among
professional men Of any class has
greater dishonor occurred than in this
man Schley's refusal to speak the
truth. coupled with the advantage he
has sought TO obtain over brother Of
ficer through the superficial reason
ing and emotion OF the non-profession-
al public mind. Many people think
Schley was the real destroyer Of Ce-
veras feet because it was his good
fortune to actively participate in that
event. while Sampson, the man who
conceived the plan and would have
borne the odium Of defeat, had it
come. was absent in the line Of duty
elsewhere. Schley is a scoundrel, and
every officer Of the American navy
knows it, and has admitted it
to his indmates. over and over
again, during the weary months
that Sampson has silently endured the
Sights and ingratitude of his fellow
counrrymen. Captain Chadwick at
last has broken the bonds Of fear or
naval etiquette and blurted out the |
truth. The marvel is that he or any
other man. among a class noted al
most above all others on earth for
the rigidity Of its code of morals and !
its answering honor at all times and
under every circumstance, could have
held his peace in the face Of such a
worng and injustice for so long a time.
All honor, nevertheless. to Captain
Chadwick for his courage and manli-
ness. belated though 1t is. Let it be
hoped that the navy department will

threatens to do; not because so brave

A HINT FOR THE SCHOOL DIREC
TORS OF ASTORIA.

1t would certainly seem as II the pub
Tic schools in the city OF Washington
should be among the best in the coun.
try. but an investigation undertaken by
subcommittee ON the District Of
Columbia, OF which Senator Stewart.
OF Nevada. is chairman. would indicate
some great and fundamental error In
the school system there Senator
Stewart had maintained that some
thing was radically wrong in the
Washington school system. His con-
tention was bitterly denied by those
responsible for the schools. They
maintained that the system Of teach
ing was the one best adapted to train
the minds of the children and youth,
to teach them TO think and to express
themselves clearly" II was held that
spelling was learned best incidental
ly. and not by the use OF the spelling
book; that arithmetic was to be ac-
quired best by method that elimin-
ates the drudgery. and that oral teach
ing Of grammar is superior to the use
of the text book" The results Of the
investigation certainly seem to belle
the arguments made in behalf OF the
system in vogue in Washington. Par
ents complained, as did employers,
that the children in Washington are
not able to use correctly the English
language and are not fitted to do sim
pie examples in arithmetic, and not fit
ted to become office boys and girls.
1t was thought desirable to test the
work done in the first eight grades.
preparatory to the high school. so it
was decided to examine pupils in the
first year Of the high school. before
which the foundations OF knowledge
in English. American history, spelling
and arithmetic should have been laid"
1t was supposed. too, that before en-
terirg the high schools pupils would
have a very sensible knowledge Of the
form Of the American government, in
which they were instructed. To ascer-
tain the knowledge, two examination
papers were prepared by the chief ex-
aminer Of the civil service commits
sion. and these were submitted to the
school directors to see II they were
regarded as fair One examination
was in arithmetic and the other in
history. In this way spelling, writing
and grammar, with facility Of express
sion, could also be tested.
The result was lamentable, betray-
ing gross ignorance on the part of the
great majority Of the pupils, whose
general average was only 5S per cent.
Many Of the answers are very anus
ing, Of course, but they are also pa
tbetic, and certainly justify some great
change in the present methods Of
teaching.
There is a hint here for the directors
Of Astorias schools and those Of other
Oregon towns. Let them send for the
full particulars Of this Washington ex-
pertinent Some things can be learned |
for the benefit Of the trust they have
in hand, and more, perhaps, than they !
