New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-08-27

Almost every city complains that II has been
unJustly treated by the census takers The prob
ability is that the census has been taken more
accurately than ever before and without a trace
of intentional discrimination. The trouble Is
that people have exaggerated ideas on too many
subjects. They think every city is more popu-
lous than 1t really is. and overestimate the
wealth of every rich man. and magnify Skin
mishes into great battles. Big figures and tall
talk are fascinating. but they are delusive

All FOR SCHIEY.

By a recent decision of the Supreme
court Admiral SIMPSONS position as
commander Of the North Atlantic fleet
during hostilities with Spain, has
been confirmed. The court also decides
that the admiral's flagship, the New
York, was engaged in the famous battle
off Santiago, which resulted in the de-
struction of Cervera's ships, and that he
was in command at the time. No doubt
the Supremecourt is right from the view
point of technical law, but 10000, 600
court announcements even if given by
justices of the Supreme court, could not
alter & dominant fact, irrevocably fixed
in the minds and hearts of the people OF
this country, and that is that Admiral
Schley the greatest sea hero OF the His
piano. American war, fought and won
the battle of Santiago, while Admiral
Sampson on his flagship, the New York
was fifteen miles away. If the guns OF
the cruiser New York were active while
the historic naval duel was in progress,
then the ammunition was merely batter
ing the air, for all seamen, as well as
land lubbers are unanimous that Samp-
sons ship was Ear away from the zone
of fire.
The decision of the Supreme court may
give Admiral Sampson a larger bounty
than Admiral Schley. but no utterance,
citation or decision of any court in the
land can expurgate from the hearts OF
patriotic Americans, love and respect
for man, who, in the hour of peril and
battle, by his courage, sagacity IN
trepidity, sustained with glorious results
the great heritage of naval valor, which,
in the past, was jealousy guarded by
Paul Jones, Farragut and Porter.

BERTHS FOR RICH MEMS SONS.

One great reason for Republican anxi-
ETY. to increase the standing army, is that
the inept sons of rich men may be
provided with comfortable berths at
public expense, 1t is a well known fact
that in many families there is an over
plus of sons, and the paterfamilias is
frequently put to his wits end to know
what to do with the least bright. The
English aristocrat long ago settled this
vexed problem by having them enter the
church or the army. The law there is
so made that the wealthy land owner
or the man of money can control advow
sons These advowsons give the man
owning them the right to appoint to a
vacant rectorship, vicarship or incum-
bency in the church without consulting
the wishes Of the congregation If a
nobleman has stupid son or merchant
controlling advowsons, has one whose
wit is blunted, the decision is made to
make him parson with the object of
giving him an ecclesiastical living. 1t
should be said however, that there is a
great body Of the clergymen outside the
favored classes, who enter the religious
life from intellectual and spiritual mo-
tives and that they are in no way to
blame for the existence of disgraceful
state of affairs Just what has been
said as to the church, was applicable to
the military Before William Ewart
Gladstone struck blow at commissions,
officers were made on the G. o. ID. plan. A
rich man would buy "a commission for
his son and the young mans patent as
an officer would be issued forthwith
The system is very little better now.
Our Republican friends in this conn
try would increase the military estab-
lishment 50 that the roll of officers can
be increased. If the army expands as
planned the avenue to officers commits
sions will be rs jealousy guarded for
the benefit Of plutocracy as is the audi
cnce chamber of the Tsar. Will any
Democrat who subscribes to the prin
ciples laid down in the Declaration of
for moment think of
voting for any but the ticket named by

KRlSS kRINGLE or POLITICS.

Mr.. Mckinley is the nominee of
the Republican party for the high office
of president of the United States. He is
in the Office now, so that in asking u re-
election at the hands Of the people, his
claim can be properly scrutinized When
he was a candidate four years ago his
henchmen like the mueZzins in Turkey,
assembled the lofty minarets and in vote
es sufficiently loud to be heard all over
the United States heralded him as the
Advance Agent of Prosperity, but, ipso
facto, he was and is the Kriss Kringle of
modern politics. On state occasions,
when Mark Hanna gave permission,
Mr. Mckinley was exhibited to public
wonder, wearing imaginary prosperity
vesture, and the voters, caught by the
jingle and tinsel decorating his habili-
mcnts, were shared into supporting him
by their ballots, which gave him tempo
rary tenure of the White house. Since
he became president of these United
States the men with the ballots have
been disllusionized. They now see him
undecorated, and they can appreciate
| the difference between true harbinger
of prosperity and a made-to-order Santa
| Claus
Surely, the voters are alive to the facts
which have contributed to the state of
/ thiu,u which bo,,o ,,g;g,,1 l,o,, s.;,,,, Al, -
last national election The trusts Mr.
Mckinley pet hobby, have been patted
on the back and fostered with the great
est solicitude under governmental pat
ronage and in return for the many ia
yors they received they have deigned to
give work with one hand so that they
might rob the public with the other.
The cry goes up now from all over the
land that all kinds Of material has in
creased SO much in value. that il places
an embargo on building Nails, lumber,
plaster, brick, stone and all material
necessary for building is out of the reach
OF the ordinary man, In this city OF
Manitowoc quite few persons planned
10 construct buildings this year, but
they were not able TO do il owing to the
tremendous cost entailed And this il
due from no other cause than that the
Republican party stands sponsor for the
trusts and a protective tariff The fruits
OF Republican prosperity, under the Nc
kinley regime are likely to be bitter

THE STATE CONVENTION.

I Ot In TN e history Ol w lSCoiSlH LEN
ocracy can there be traced a more har-
monious convention than that which
was held in Milwaukee last week. 1t
irresis tibly proves that II united party
intends to work for united ticket,
which will be named at Kansas City,
July 4, The Republican papers through
out the state have been telling their pa
irons, that the convention was turbu-
liant, that the delegates We're distur-
bers and that it is an augdry of breach
within the fold. This is an absurd lie
IA concoction of party Zealots, who, fear
full of the serried hosts who will move
to victory next November, would at
tempt to disSuade some from fidelity to
conviction and catch here and there Il
stray vote. There was naught in the
nature of boisterousness in the conven-
tion The delegates were earnest men,
pre- foundly influenced by the work they
were engaged in, and that they dis
charged their obligation TO Democracy
is evidenced in the wise selection they
made in choosing men to represent it in
the national conclave Of the party.
It was significant to see such a large
aggregation of young men taking active
interest in perpetuating the historic
creed of Jefferson at the Milwaukee con
vention. They were there by the scores,
nay by the hundreds. 1t indicates they
will be active in the day Of battle, and
when the ballot boxes open they, as a
mighty phalanx will deposit their votes
and when counted they will show the
downfall of imperialism, the reputation
ofmilitarism and a practical denunciation
of trusts. 1t will mean the retirement of
Mr. Mckinley from the chief magistracy
of this nation and the clothing Of his
Democratic successor with full authori.
ty to rule with Democratic simplicity.
The day of rejoicing is not far distant.
The day of retribution for Republicans
is fast drawing nigh. The platform
adopted by the Wisconsin Democratic
convention can be cheerfully assented to
by all members of the party We call
particular attention to the following ex-
cerpt;
We denounce the Republican party
for its brazen inconsistency in treating
Porto Rico as part of our territorial

" discriminating against its people as
well as our own by imposing burden
of tariff in express violation of the con
stitution of our country; in establishing

nant to the spirit Of our institutions and

TEN OF miltarism that threatens the
perpetuity of our government for the
sole purpose of gain and conquest; in es-
tablishing for all time "A scheme of taxa,

purpose of maintaining standing army

PROF. HYERS' WITHDRAWAL.

When the editorial on the controversy
over the principalship of the high schoo
was written, it was not known to This
Pilot that Prof Hyers would withdraw
He, however, has done so and he says
that his action is final. Prof, Hyer5 ba'
the appearance of cultured gentleman
well qualified to assume the responsible
tiles Of the high school His withdraw
al in no ways was suggested by the
members Of the School board. On the
contrary he says that the board in every
sense Of the word has acted toward him
with admirable candor and delicat' cour
tesy.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1900-06-21

it seens pity that his personality and
his attainments should be separated from
the high school but if they must be we
ask for his successor just the same loyal
support which he received. II the
School board conclude that it can with
out smirching its honor, or impairing its
authority, recede from its position and
retain Prof. Evans, then we hope the
high school will continue to advance sc
that it has no peer in the land, but
should Prof. Hyers come here we hope
he will not be the butt of the angry
passions of the people, nor the target
for their resentment.

MR.. WALLS POSITION.

If Mr.. Wall leaned on the Milwaukee
Journal for support he mistook broken
reed for stout staff. 1t is far better to
have the opposition of that paper than
its friendship, although it is to be doubt
ed very much if it can be friend to
anyone. The Journal is very much like
a weather vane. it turns with the wind.
Certainly Mr. Wall could not help the
misfortune of having the Milwaukee
publication on his side. The Journal,
like every other paper, chooses its own
men, and in its own way sticks to them.
1t would seem. however, that Mr.. Wall
will be supplanted in the national com
mittee by Timothy E. Ryan of Wauke
sha. The present national committee
man has grown gray in the service of his
party In the face of tremendous odds,
he has sometimes steered his friends to
victory and his political sagacity in the
past has been of service to the party.
He will be remembered affectionately
by the Democrats, Notwithstanding his
attitude in 1896 He, at least voted the
Democratic ticket and even if he had
not done so, he would have been actual
ed in his stand by inst motive, and af-
ter all mans motive counts for quite a
little. Men of his calibre do not run
counter to life long convictions without
adequate cause, or what they believe is
justified by circumstances.

of which latter not the least is his poll

vote so overwhelmingly in the majority
that it shall be in the nature of a rous-
ing endorsement of his long and honor

1t is a singular fact that the reign OF

attended by a wonderful advance in
the material. political, literary and
even military progress of her country.
The reign of Catherine the Great OF
Russia witnessed the widest extern

been known up to her time, and the
greater part of the Russian conquests
were accomplished during the time OF
the other Russian Expresses.
The reign of Maria Theresa was a
period of prosperity for Austria Hun.

while the reigns of Elizabeth aud
Anne in British history were ages OF
glory in letters. arts and war.
Great Britain has never seen such an
age as that of Victoria, and perhaps
will not again for centuries. The pres

ereign seems to inspire all the poetry
and chivalry there is in the nature of

an adequate explanation why coun-
tries flourish under female ruIeIs.-
