THE REAL sCHLEY.

The refusal of the American people TO
beIieve that there is even possibility OF
truth in the charge formulated by Maclay,
the navy yard HISTORIAN, and endorsed
nv Admiral Sampson, that Admiral Schley
is a craven skulker. liar and an lncom-
netent is as natural as ii is creditaoie.
While the details of Admiral Schiey
record have been forgotten by the peo-
nle. they remember that he has served
his country for more than forty years
and they know that a brave. honest man
does not change his character and be-
come a coward in night. IL is simply
preposterous that man of the kind de
scribcd by Maclay, endorsed by Sampson
could remain in the navy rearly hail Il
century without being found out
throughout the controversy AdihiraI
S, hley's attitude has been that OF ma,
conscious OF the justice OF his cause ana
generously disposed to make allowances
for the Bitterness of his enemy disap-
nointment Although he has abstalned
from calling his a6tractors to the bar as
dafendants. the technical function OF the
Court of enquiry is subordinate in the
nrhIic mind to the broader view OF the
investigation. and Admiral Schiey gen
| orositv cannot alter the fact that Al
nsraI. Sampson is on trial before the
| American people for aiding and abettlnS

The Honors of Santiago.

Today is to witness a notable event
in the history of the American navy.
The commander who next to Admiral
Dewey crowned the service with glory
in the Spanish war, at his own request
is to face the traducers and conspira-
tors who have sought to rob him of the
laurels he so nobly won off Santiago
Harbor on July 3, 1898. by accusing him
of disobedience of the orders of the sub
ordinate officer illegally placed over
him.
OF the composition of the court it is
difficult to speak within the bounds of
propriety. Every American hopeful
that justice will be done is delighted
that its president is Admiral Dewey,
and we are unaware of any objection
that could be offered to Rear Admiral
Benham. Concerning the third member
of the tribunal, the situation is not so
clear.
What the nation hopes and wishes is
that the work of the Court of Enquiry
NAV result in burying the Sampson
scandal forever. and in placing the
honors of the Santiago victory where
they belong.

SYMPATHY FROM THE SOUTH.
Resolutions From Members of the
Army of the Tennessee.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 1.-THE Asso-
citation of the Army of the Tennessee, the
most radical Confederate association in
the country, the one which several months
ago protested against the invitation of
President Mckinley to attend the Confed-
crate reunion at Memphis and thereby dis
suaded him from going there. has adopt
ed, without dissenting vote, the follow
ing resolution on the attempted assassi-
nation of the President:
Responsive to feelings of horror at the
act of the fanatic who has tried to take
the life of the gallant soldier. the Presi-
dent of the United States, this associa-
tion of the survivors of the Confederate
States armies hereby gives voice to It's
adherence for and eXecration OF the
deed, the man. the instigators, the sect:
and all who were in any way connected
with this dastardly crime against law,
order, society, government and human

age in the moment of the attack upon

Arbjter of all destinies for his preserva-
tion and speedy recovery: with the ten
derest sympathy for his devoted wife IN
her hour of trial, the members OF the
Heneyolent Association of the Army or

sion respectfully send greetings to Ma

sUBsIDIzING A TRUST.

Another reason why the subsidy bill
stands even a less chance of popular sup
port in the approaching session of Con-
gress than it did last winter is that in
the interval the shipbuilding concerns
have been gradually merged together, so
that we already have in effect great ship
building rust. which is prepared to take
advantage of any donation that the Gov
ernment may grant While Congress may
not Iegislate against trusts, and they may
be tolerated by the people as questionable
features in our modern industrial level
opment, it would be little too much to
expect that the representatives of the
people at Washington should, in effect,
vote to a trust an annual subvention out
of the United States Treasury amounting
to many millions of dollars year. IL
might be said that this subvention would
be paid to ship owners and not ship build
ers: but. as "A matter of fact. the chiei
promoters in this scheme have been snip

POLITICAL COMMENT.

In point of fact, the President is right

Labor Organic arions Do Not GiEe indi-

Washington, Nay l2.-Charles n.
schwab, president Of the United
States steel corporation, was before
the industrial commission Saturday.
He said that The GATED States com
pany controls eight companies by
owning their stock. and that while
steps are taken TO insure the good
win and cooperation Of an these com
panies. each one. generally is left TO
conduct business its own way. Emu
merating the advantages Of consolida-
tion. Air. Schwab said they were
found especially in transportation and
management and in the utilization Of
an the ores owned. Tn this c0nnec-
tion Mr. Schwab said that the United
States company owns so per cent. Of
the iron ore Of the country and he ex-
pressed the opinion that the ore depos-
its must constantly grow in value be-
cause limited. The company makes
from s. TO IS per cent. of the steel
products Of the country. He also said
that there had been no increase in
the price Of products since the organ
ization Of the United States company
and that the tendency is toward lower
prices.
Discussing the tariff. Mr.. schwab
expressed the opinion that in articles
Of manufacture IN which labor does
not enter as an important factor the
tariff might be removed. but that in
products into which labor enters large
ly, such. for instance, as tin plate.
il would be necessary either TO re-
duce wages or lose trade if the tariff
were removed Mr.. schwab took
position against organized labor. say
ing that il did not give individuals a
fair chance in life.
