A CHAMPION OF SAMPSON.

The Minneapolis Times, while discla;m-
ing any intention to so into the Samp-
son-Schley controversy, takes time to
remark that the record of Admiral
Schley is not creditable and that Samp-
son is the greatest sea commander alive.
Notwithstanding all this greatness.
abuse instead of acclaim has been his
portion and he has been compelled to
wear the willow instead of the laurel
This is the opinion of the Times. 1t does
not matter on what the opinion is hased,
it may be sympathy for Sampson or pref
udice against Schley, perhaps both.
Whatever the cause for this interest in
Sampson, it is sufficient to move the
Times to advocate the creation of a spe-
cial office, vice-admiral, for the object OF
its solicitude
Without reviving the Sampson-Schley
controversy; without entering into any
comparisons among the three great
names that adorn the naval records of
the Spanish-American war; without de-
tracing one jot from the just fame of
Dewey or Schley or Sampson, we think
that there are just and adequate reasons
for the marked unpopularity of Admiral
Sampson. If he has not received the
honor due him, it is his own fault; if
he has been compelled to wear the will
low instead of the laurel, he may lay the
blame ut the doors CT his over-zealous
friends and to his own lack of generos-
ity.
The American people admire big-heart-
ed manliness-they are ever ready and
willing to forgive errors of Judgment if
their Eero he great of soul. But if he be
self-seeking or vain-glorious; if he show
disposition to play to the galleries or
exhibits Il lack of generosity on import
ant occasions, his deeds, however great,
will not shield him from criticism.
The people have concluded, that how
ever great of deed, Sampson is small of
soul; that he is a hero by favoritism and
by accident, not by nature His telegram

a vain-glorious appropriation OF the re-
nown of others.
Had there been shown by him at that
time, the common generosity which is
chara cteristic of greatness; had he given
to his associates in that great battle the
honor due them, instead OF appropriating
it all 10 himself, there never would have
been SanIpson-Sch?ey controversy
There never was any politics in the mat
ter. as suggested by the Times. The
people were Disguised with Sampson, that
was all.

An old-timer at Gaylord, Kan, was
telling about the grasshopper year
''That was the year. said he, 1.-The hot
winds blew so long and hard that calves
and pigs were caught by the gale and
blown up against buildings and were held
there by the force of the wind until they
starved. Yes, and that was the fall that
the hogs got so thin that if they got out
of their pens the wind would pick them
up and carry them over into the next
county. Then when the butchering time
came the hogs were so light that the Gus
tomary way of changing them was to
fasten them to tbe-ccIotheslne by the ear
with clothespim. Iftit was necessary to
send some of thes bacon from one part of
the country to 1another a side of it
could be placed in an ordinary official
envelope and sent through the mails, one
stamp being ample for postage"
