The Hero Schley.

The more testimony there is
presented in the Schley case,
the more clearly it appears
that Schley is entitled to the
credit for the victory, and that
Sampson and his associates
have been trying to blacken his
reputation in order to purloin
his just credit. To read the
virulent assaults that have been
made on him for weeks past by
various newspapers and naval
authorities one might suppose
that he had committed some
awful blunder in his tactics as
well as displaying cowardice,
but when the facts are present
ed it is apparent that he han.
died his vessel and his fleet like
master. The much complain
ed of loop" of the Brooklyn
brought her into action in the
most advantageous manner and
she evidently inflicted the great
est possible damage on the en-.
envy while suffering the least
possible damage herself, and
that is the finest record that
can be made by any naval COM
mander.
Moresoever the evidence fully
bears out the statement of the
officers who were near him that
his conduct and bearing were
all that could be desired in any
man, and would serve as mod
els for any officer in like stu
alton. Not only were the di-
rections for the fighting given
with GOODNESS and intelligence,
but all the little events of the
affair go to show how complete.
ly the admiral was at himself
and how thorough was his grasp
of the situation. For example,
when his officers were about to
throw the body of Ellis over.
board, which would have been
a proper course if there were
danger of a bloody conflict, in
which corpses might obstruct
the working of the ship, he was
cool enough to see that this
contingency would not arrive,
and to preserve the body of the
hero for Christian burial. That
thoughtful action shows how
completely he understood the
situation and himself at the
hour when he was winning one
of the greatest naval victories
of all time. The nation may
safely doff hats to Admiral
Schley.-Indianap oils Qnd }

RIGHTS OF WITNESSES.

The appellate division OF the su-
preme court Of New York has recently
rendered a decision on the rights OF
witnesses in which it says:
''It cannot be that because party
refuses to submit to demand made
upon him, and himself goes upon the
witness stand to contradict testimony
given by his adversary, he can by rea-
son of that fact be compelled to
divnlge the secrets OF his life, unless
such secrets are connected with or
have some bearing upon the matter be-
ing tried. A party, when ne becomes
witness, is entitled even in cross
examination, to be protected. Wit
nesses have some rights which courts
axe bound to respect. Attacks Of the
Kind set out in this record cannot De
made upon ones private lie under
guise of cross-examination. Their pur-
pose is either to coerce the party into
a settlement or else to unduly and un-
Justly prejudice the jury against him.
Such examinations tend to bring the
administration Of the law and a trial
of actions into disrepute and to lessen
the respect which litigants have fo1
the courts.

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING IN

Harvey walked across the street and
sat down. There were four serious
wounds in his body, and it was feared
that he would die at once. But he is
being most carefully treated and is
displaying remarkable endurance.
It is said that ne made statement
generating his brothers-in-law from
blame in the affair just after he was
shot. He is doing well today and
promises to make statement as soon
as he is able to do so. No feeling 9th

Postal Law Modification.

Merchants who fill large mail orders
and have been sending out smples OF
goods from which their out-of-town
customers might select and order
will be interested in new ruling
which has just been made by the post
Office department. The ruling allows
these merchants to write upon each tag
on a sample of cloth figures denoting
the width and price on the goods.
This had been done by the
merchants before last April.
when the assistant iattorney general
decided for the postod6ce department
that the act OF June ~,
1888, relating to permissible ad-
ditions to the fourth class
matter, does not authorize these figures
TO be written on each tag attached to
separate samples. On account of the
writing in the package it was held
that the samples were subject to hrst
class rates, which was double the price
the merchants had previously been
sending them for.
Now the third assistant postmaster
general, Edwin G. Madden. decides
that it is permissible to write upon the
tags which go as fourth class matter.
The rulings will be great relief to
the merchants who fill large mail or
ders and send out for that purpose
great quantities Of samples.

The Appalachian Reserve.

An Asheville, n. c., special to the
New York Evening Post says:
Mr.. Wilson, secretary of agriculture,
after spending week in the North
Carolina mountains, is an advorcate OF
the proposed Appalachian mountain
reserve. He will recommend that con-
gress make an appropriation for the
purchase of about 1000, 600 acres of
forest land within the states of North
Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina
and Alabama.
The secretary found that the noun
tains are being denuded Of forest
growth at an alarming rate-with far
more rapidity than he had believed
possible-and unless congress is will
ing to appropriate sufficient sum,
perhaps $4,000, 600, 70 buy this land
outright, it will only be a matter of a
comparatively few years, he believes,
before the effects of forest destruction
will be plainly noticeable in the agri-
cultural ands and manufacturing sec
tions fed by the Ohio, Tennessee, Yad-
kin, Savannah and Roanoke rivers,
not to mention the hundreds of smaller
streams relied upon by the agricutural
community.
..This section is a natural water re-
serve for nearly all the rivers OF the
soutb,'' the secretary says. land the
present operations can only result IN
the complete drying up Of its rivers,
or shrinking them TO such an extent
that their use will become wholly i'm
paired, for it is a recognized scientific
fact that to preserve the streams the
forests at their headwaters must not
be destroyed. Right here let me say
that it would be well for all southern
members of congress to give more at
tention to his forest reserve and lei
rivers and harbors work drift until
the more important work is accom-
plished. If this timber is DESTROYED
the object of rivers and harbors work
will be defeated in advance, and there
will be few streams remaining of suff-
cient size to justify dollars appro-
priation for Improvements.

STRIKE STATUS UNCHANGED.
President shafer Says Workers
Have Gained Steadily.

Pittsburg, Penn, July 19.-The
strike situation tonight cannot be
termed materially changed. Many
rumors are in the air to the effect
that a settlement of the troubles is
imminent, but none of these rumors
have been verified.
At the Offices of the Carnegie Com
panv and at the headquarters Of the
manufacturers the usual silence is
preserved.
President Shafer, of the Amalgamat-
ed Association, expresses his entire
satisfaction with the progress OF the
battle and says the workers have gain
ed steadily, while the manufacturers
have lost continually since last Mon
day. He says up to the present time
the Amalgamated forces contemplate
no change in the programme, being
perfectly satisfied with the showing
their people have made. President
Shaffer says the advance in wages Of
fered the tube mill workers at Mckees
port today, while seemingly large,
will not bring the pay up to union
scale.
Commencing in day or two, week
" bulletins will be issued from Anal
gamated quarters to give workers and
strikers official news of the exact con-
dition of strike affairs.
From the storm centre at Welles-
vile. Ohio, tonight comes word that
striking mill men in that vicinity
spent an uneasy, restless day. The
American Sheet Steel company have
many of the towns largest merchants
back of them in their fight against the
workmen: the merchants fearing that
if the present trouble goes along much
further the Wellesyille plant will be
brought across the line into Pennsyl,
vania. Grocers, clothing men and
Others are trying to show that they
are wrong and foolish in keeping up a
fight. Pressure brought to bear along
this line, the strikers say. is energy
wasted. Many of the workmen have
money invested in property here.
