THE SCHIEY CASE

Is not the real gist of the Scitlcy case
u frantic desire Of the Democrats to find
Moses TO lead them out Of the wilder
ness of defeat: There are several his
toric prccedcnts for this. Every war that
this country has been engaged in has made
Presidents Washington, Madison and
Monroe served in the Revolution, and
Adams and Jefferson were elected on ac-
count Of their signal civic contributions to
the Cause. The War OF 1912 made Jack
son and w ii. Harrison Presidents: that
with Mexico seated Taylor and Pierce in
the Presidential chair. The rebellion made
Presidents of Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Har-
risop and Mckinley, while the War with
Spain brought Roosevelt into National
prominence.
Frequently the ill-treatment OF n rising
man by the Administration has been a
potent influence in his favor, il handled
rightly, and the scheme of the Democrats
has been TO play for all that it could be
made to be worth the idea that Schley
had been terribly abused by clique in
the Navy Department. They read up
what very effective use had been made 10y

The Commissioner, after harping long
and loud through the press on the evils of
false impersonation, devotes a page of his
repert 10 alarm upon the subject. Yet,
with ali the searching of his S40o,oeO
worth Of Special Agents during the year,
there were but five convictions for this Of
fense. This was but a little over one in
every 100000 cases examined or taking
with them the whole of the / 100000 PEN
sioncrs on the rolls, ii makes less than one
in every 433000 If the Postoffiee Depart
ment, the Customs Bureau, the Land Of

enne Bureau could find such an amaz-
ingiy low rate Of crime il their opera
tions they would be paralyzed with as
tonishment We wish that even the
churches Of the country could find so few
6elinquents among their membership.
1t is so with every other item. There
were but Ga convicted of making false
claims. out of probably 100000 claims ex-
anlined or about one in 400. If the
Treasury could only find so small a per-
centsge of falsehood, how its operations
would be facilitated, its work diminished
and what a graduation there would be
over the rising morality Of the country.
There was at least one affidavit to every
claim presented, and yet there were but
Is cases of false affdaVits. Still, Mr..
Evans follows Cleyeland's cue, and la
ments loudly and perennially over the vast
increase of perjury consequent upon the
"lust for pensions"
The most of these convictions originated
from one or two INSCRIPTIONS pension at

THE Cuban elections viii begin toward
the end of this month. and continue until
some time in February. so that they win
have a protracted meeting time of it.
First the Governors of the Provinces are
to be voted for, then Representatives in
the Provincial Assemblies, then Repre-
sentatives to the Cuban Congress. next
Senators. and finally the President Of the
Republic. There are three tolerably we'll
defined parties in the field: National. Re-
publican and Democratic. The two latter
names have been imported from the
United States, but have 10 American
meaning, and are divided more as to lead
ers than as to policies. In a general way,
the National party is made up of those
who favor absolute independence. The
Republicans are mainly those who fought
in the war for independence, and are
pretty close to the Nationals. The Ma
tiOnals are the most numerous, and their
idol is Gen. Gomez, who has refused the
nomination for the Presidency. and fayorS
Thomas Estrada Palma, who, next to
him. is the most popular man on the ISL
and The Democrats are largely made up
of the old AUtonImists, who favored re-
tanning connection with the mother cOun-
try. with the largest measure of local self.
government. The Spaniards who remained
loyal to Spain are also Democrats. Their
candidate is Gen. Bartolome MassO, who
is best known rs the active opponent of
the Platt Amendment. The probabilities
strongly favor Senior Palma's election. He
is the only candidate who speaks English,
and he is an American citizen. While the
Democrats want to have the widest sep
aration from the United States, yet the
good sense of those who think see that
this spells ruin to the island. We take
about % per cent. of its products, and by
simply making a favorable rate for Ger
man sugar while keeping up a tariff on
that from Cuba we could destroy the
value of every plantation in Cuba. We
have strong reasons for doing this. since
we sell much to Germany and compara-
lively little to Cuba.
