THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER.

Engineers and civil
cow make it their ambition to be-
come, not consulting experts, but
executive. Amongmilitary and naval
cadets, the most brilliant and success
full students eagerly enter the engineer
ring corps of the service, and become
in after years the most thorough and
successful officers. The same tendency
is pervading commercial life.
This state of affairs is becoming
more and more prevalent. The man.
ayers of street railway, gas, electric
lighting, and similar companies are,
in the main, men of engineering train
ing. The general management of
broader manufacturing industries is
being concentrated in the same direc-
ton. The departmental organization
of the commerce requires men who
shall be, first of all, able executives
second, experts in the departmental
work.
In all excepting purely specialized
branches-such as the legal or finan-
cial-use is being made of the trained
engineer. Statesmen of mechanical
goods, railway transportation depart
ment officials, and incumbents of
many other apparently unrelated
fields, are made from engineering tim
Der. The highest executive positions
in the great industries are accessible
to men of mechanical training and

A wandering book dealer is offering
a small stock at auction for few day
in this city. The eagerness of people
to rush into absurdities is shown by
the fact that they actually bid higher
prices for some of these books than
local dealers are asking regularly in
the stores. An unknown and irrespon-
sible spectacle peddler came along the
other day and actually sold glasses,
with scarcely pretense Of fitting
them, for more money than our
established opticians ask. The gold

The Indianapolis Journal well says:
The decision of the supreme court
sustaining the constitutionality of the
compulsory education law is based on
sound principle and reasoning. The
state has right to protect itself
against the evils of illiteracy, and to
this end has right to require par
entS to send their children to school
during stated ages and periods. Par
ents can do a great many unwise
things in spite of legislation, but the
state has right to say they shall not
bring up their children in ignorance
when the means of education are
provided at public expense.

A GREAT FLOOD OF LIGHT.

1t is the uncontroverted testi-
mony of all the witnesses that
Sampson was on board the
New York during the battle of
Santiago and that the New York was
not within sight of the engagement
at any time. Sampson had taken his
flagship out of the blockading line
and sailed off to have conference
with the military commander; he
might have taken an escort vessel and
left his big fighter to preserve the
blockade unweakened. Hearing the
distant roar of guns he hurried back
and arrived in time to see the Shatter-
ed hulks of Spanish warships scattered
along the coast for twenty miles,
every surrender accomplished and
Cervera on board Schley IS vessel. The
evidence is that there was no pre-
arranged order of battle and could not
have been, because of the absolute I'M
certainty of the conditions, and that
the only orders given were by Schley,
who, in Simpsons absence, was COM
mander of the fleet. These are now
firmly established facts and are not
contradicted.
Now comes a great flood of light,
Illuminating most brilliantly the SUBJ
sequentsyStematic belittling of Schley.
That officer, in writing his official re-
port of the action, simply adhered to
the truth, as was his duty, and neglect
ed to pander to the self-esteem of his
temporary superior by falsely making
it appear that the latter was in the
fight; Sampson declined to receive the
truthful report because it did not
mention the presence Of the New
York. o brave and magnanimOus
Sampsonl 1t has transpired that
Simpsons log was falsified, that Of
fetal charts of the action made under
his inspection were knowingly incor-
rect, that his magazine articles did
not speak the truth as he knew it to
be, and that, Maclay's infamous libel
was printed with his knowledge and
consent. The officers who assisted In
these falsincations of historical docu-
ments were witnesses against Schley
and admitted the deviations from
truth.
Schley, not foreseeing what was to
come, was big-hearted and generous
enough to rewrite his report, for, said
he, "the victory was big enough for
ALL" and later, when the conspiracy
first began to develop, he sought to
quiet the rising contention by saying,
like an honest man and true hero,
''there is glory enough for all. :"
When asked why he yielded to Samp-
sons improper demand Schley said
most generously that he did it be-
cause he 'sknew if the New York had
been present she would have done as
good work as anybody else. y
The American people have way
of their own in testing public men
and in popular sentiment Schley has
always peen 'sthe man who licked
Ceryera" and destroyed the Spanish
feet. The fierce light of publicity
has blazed upon him during the pres
ent inquiry only to reveal him more

indianapolis Sentinel.
Well, why shouldn't they? They
created it. 1t would not be natural
to expect democratic financiers to give
much attention to it, except for the
purpose of destroying it and substitute
ing ravenous and growing deficit, as
they did not many years ago. 1t is
easily remembered that the democrats,
when last elevated to power, found a
very healthy surplus in the federal
treasury and that in a very few wears
they were selling bonds at high rate
of interest to favored friends for the
purpose of paying the current expenses
of government while the national
debt was piling up in heaps. The re-
publican surplus is in every way pref
cradle to democratic deficit and re-
publican financiers ought to give it
considerable attention.

a sermon, IF you want to be cured of

he found them there. Whether his

thereof, he organized himself into

a deep cash, made with a very sharp

and ard staggering The boys said
nothing to start the trouble.
Joe Glass followed with his account
of the affair. He had known May
two or three months. On the eve
ming of the fight he first saw May
and a stranger coming out of the Nor
ches saloon and going up to the boys.
He saw May strike at the Lambert
boy and admonished him to go on
home about his business. The Subse-
quent proceedings were described with
out deviation from the statements of
the other witnesses. Glass struck
May with the heavy end of his cane
twice and partially knocked him
down. Mr.. Martindale's cross-exam-
ination was unproductive of any re-
suit favorable to the defense and failed
to follow the lead indicated by Mr..
Stevens in the cross-examinations of
prior witnesses.
At this point the state closed and
Martindale made the preliminary
statement for the defendant, showing
the defense to be that May did not
know what he was doing, being over
come with liquor, and that he acted
intelligently and with commendable
moderation in self-defense, as any
good citizen should when unjustifably
attacked by an overbearing officer.
The witnesses for May substantially
corroborated those for the state in
their accounts of the fight, May him.
self stating that lie had no remem-
brance whatever of the occurrence,
and they failed to testify to the facts
set out by Martindale in his opening.
Harry Allwein, former trustee of
the town of Bourbon, saw the entire
struggle and, though called for the
defense, his testimony was wholly fav-
orable to the prosecution. J. L. Kel-
Ter, formerly of Bourbon, turned out
the same way. May himself took the
witness stand and told of his life and
family, of his removal to Plymouth
from Bourbon, and about maintaining
home for his dependent mother.
Said he suffered partial sunstroke
during the summer. On the day of
the fight couple of Bourbon friends
were in town and they got him drunk.
He lost his memory in the Morches
saloon and knew nothing more until
he found himself in a cell the follow
ing morning. The only other wit
ness was VIM. Bates, of Bourbon, who
said he thought May not responsible
when pretty well loaded.
The efforts of the defense we're d.
rected to reducing the crime to simple
assault and battery, for which purpose
it was argued that May was too drunk
to form an intent to murder and that
he was acting in self-defense in re-
sisting an unjustified attack by Glass.
