fight between the astronomers and line officers
for supremacy at that important institution,
which has been vigorously waged in private for
many years, has at last reached acute stage,
and the battle will now be fought in public
The most prominent professor in the service has
been technically placed under arrest by his rank
ing officer. and such serious charges have been
filed against him that court martial is inevt-
table The charges are preferred by Captain
Charles Fl. Davis. who has been superintendent
of the Naval Observatory and its commandant
since November 1898, against Professor Stimson
J. Brown, who has the rank of captain, and VINO
is in charge of the Nautical Almanac and Is head
of the mathematical work of the Observatory.
The affair grows out Of personal differences aris-
ing in connection with certain legislation before
Congress as to the authority of the astronomi-
cal director of the Observatory. The place now
held by Professor Brown was formerly filed by
the noted astronomer Professor Simon New
comb. 1t has recently been proposed to Con-
gress, that certain additional authority be at
tached TO the place. and out Of this grew differ
ences Of view between Captain Davis and Pro-
fessor Brown. which finally reached such
acute stage that the former presented formal
charges against the professor.

him they were laid before Secretary Long The
papers are not made public in such cases, and
owing to the personal nature of the controversy
the officials have surrounded the matter with
the greatest secrecy. II can be said. however.
that the charges come under four main heads.
viz: That the accused resorted TO intriguing
methods 10 bring about the administration of
ments as coming from Captain Davis which
that officer controverts; that he threatened the
superintendent with attacks upon the floor OF
Congress. and neglect of duty.
For the present the action Of the Navy De-
partment awaits the course that Professor
Brown may adopt on the copy Of the charges
which has been laid before him. All the off,
ciaIs concerned declined to-day to affirm or deny
anything about the controversy. or to give
information whatever regarding the phase it
has assumed.
The Naval Observatory work is Of unusual
general Importance. for it's time observations

tories AT Greenwich and Paris. These observa-
tions secure the highest attainable pitch of ac-
curacy in the measurement of time. and are not
only Of use to navigators. but also for the
guidance OF astronomers. in the most delicate
Investigations known TO their science. They
are the basis also for accurate time throughout

THE TROUBLE OF LONG STANDING.
The affairs OF the Observatory have been sub
tect 70 much criticism and complication for
some years past the main issue being
whether the administration should be directed
entirely by naval officers or by civilian scien-
lists specially skilled in astronomy. When Ad-
miral Sampson took charge Of the Observatory
some years ago he declared that he found many
Of the valuable instruments of use, the

years and being injured by incompetent hand

tiOn and unfit for any real work Admiral
Sampson placed the instruments I'm the hands
of lieutenants OF the navy.
The astronomers seriously criticised him for
this action He maintained that the navy num-
ability. The astronomers urged that the super
intendent should be a professional astronomer
of established reputation and Congress was
asked 20 bring about such a scientific oFganiza-
tion. Later a board of visitors, headed by SEN
Ator Chandler, made an exhaustive eXamina-
ton to determine what should be done to pro-
mote the efficiency of the Observatory. Profess
SOr Brown wrote letter which set forth in
detail his ideas as To the direction of the in
stitutiOn. He says that the Observatory has
been subjected TO almost continuous criticism
from the general body of astronomers outside of

tives. vet he says that most Of il represents the
dissatisfaction of astronomers outside of the
Observatory with its failure apparently 20 reach

cause of the failure Of the Observatory TO meet

teTtained that IL will not he possible for 10 TO

The discussion has been going on in various
phases since the report Of the Chandler hoard.

out of the long discussion and the personal ami

REFERRING to Gov. Dockery's veto
of the compulsory school bill, the
CdSh-Bo0E says:
In a number of the Eastern States
liberal compulsory educational laws
have been in operation for many years,
and the results have been GOOD. IL
seems that when the parent aoandons
the child's educational interests the
state has as much right to come to the
child's assistance as it has when the
parent refuses t o provide food and
clothing for it.
The cases are not analogous. 1t Is
true, and right as true, that the State
provides for the maintenance OF her
helpless, INDECENT poor; but that main
a does not, by reason OF the
~necessitv for providing for those who
are unable to provide for themselves,
extend to all classes alike. Against E
public school system providing for the
free schooling only of children unable
to obtain an education without the alt
of the State, no more objection coult
or would be raised than against fur
nishing them food and clothing in lik'
circumstance. But the present publ
school system is unjust, unworthy
free, sel~f-governing people. and lead
continually to further injustice an
wrong. The State has no moral RICH
whatever to take from me to give t
another who is able to care for himself
and the contention that my pocket
book must be made to contribute t.
the schooling of the children OF m,
neighbors-in ninety-nine cases out O
