Mr.. cARNEeIEs GET.

That President Roosevelt has acted
properly in deciding not to accept Mr.
Carnegie's tender OF s1O.0OOO0O Of steel
trust bonds for the purpose Of founding
national university will be generally
agreed. While the offer in Itself was
none the less generous because Of the
character Of the securities rendered (for
as is well known, Mr.. Carnegie can easily
convert these into CASH, and is none the
less to be appreciated. it goes without
saying that its accepting would place the
government in an embarrassing position.
No one viii accuse Mr.. Carnegie Of in
tending TO bring about a relationship
between the government and the steel
trust that would prove as embarrass-
ing to the former as it would be
beneficial 70 the latter. and yet it can
not be denied that this might be the out
come of the acceptance by the govern
ment Of the trust securities offered by
Mr.. Carnegie. At least this is the danger
that President Roosevelt and his advisers
foresee and frankly admit.
And right here is an point. It is clear
that the leading men OF the country re-
alize that some check must sooner or later
be placed upon the trusts. They foresee
that the government will be compelled
to deal with this vital qestion before long.
and. therefore. they prefer TO keep it out
Of any entangling alliances as it were.
This IS not only commendable. but it
is encouraging. It IS a definite official
recognition OF a condition which If not
admittedly dangerous Is. at least. guard
ed with grave suspicion. In our opinion
It Is an evil which the government must
cope with at a very early day; at the
same time. It is evident that the Repub-
lican party VIII not undertake the work
until forced TO do so. For the very
simple reason that the men who draw
trust dividneds are. for the most part,
the financial hackers OF the Republican
party-the ones who put up the campaign
funds.
The issue must be met. however. and If
the Republican party much longer ignores
It. then the people win entrust that task
to the Democracy. which latter seems the
most probable outcome. It is important.
though, TO secure such admissions from
high Republican authorities as has been
made in this instance.

He Talked Too Freely.

Commander Lucien Young has been re-
lieved as captain of the port of Havana.
This action is the result of an interview
with Commander Young in a Louisville
paper in which he expressed his opinions
about Cupban politics.
Some time ago the party which sup
ports Maso appealed to Secretary Root TO
prevent interference in the campaign. The
secretary replied that the United States
would not interfere. The Maso party re-
piled that while 1t accepted Mr.. Root s
assurance about the attitude Of the gov
eminent, It was a fact that some of the
officers in Cuba were expressing their
opinions about politics in the island, and
asked him to put stop to it.
Appropriations to Wait for New Year.
Contrary to the general custom not an
appropriation bill will be reported to the
house before the Christmas Holidays SAYS
a Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune. 1t is usually necessary to report
and adopt promptly an urgency deficiency
bill to relieve the pressing necessity of
some of the departments. Chairman Can
non said I'VE will not take up any of
the general appropriation bills until after
the new year be gins. 1t will not be nee
essary to consider urgent appropriation
bills. as none of the departments of the
government is in urgent need of funds.
Some of the subcommittee are already
at work considering some Of the general
appropriation bills, but in my judgment
they will not be considered by the house
for two or three weeks"

HETALkS 700 LOUD.

No one who is at all familiar with the
career of President Roosevelt need be
told that he is a loud talker. His is the
strenuous nature. He prides himself on
it. His robustness is apart of his stock
in trade. And he has turned 1t TO good
account in more ways than one.
Since succeeding to the executive chair
It has served him well in dealing with
the politicians. who are the bane of the
presidents life. Roosevelt's robust, siren
uous nature prompts him to talk loudly.
And this is what has disconnected the pol
iticians.
As is we'll known, the professional poll
tician prefers the confidential undertone
style Of conversation. In the first place,
IL is more impressive. and in the second
place 1t gives less publicity to the object
of ones mission. For instance, ii is less
trying to present ones claims to office by
taking the other fellow aside and in a
plaintive, trusting voice breach the sub
ject than It would be to have to walk up
in a crowd and yell out what you want
as IL you were at a railroad eating room
pie counter instead Of the political pie
counter.
And this is Just where President Roose-
velt's loud voice has disconnected even
the most hardened Washington polite
Ians. The story comes from the national
capital that it Is simply impossible for
senator member of the lower house or
anyone else calling on the new president
in regard to an appointment TO get
strictly private conversation with him.
The presidential reception room Is said
to be entirely too open. There are no
whispered conversations. Anyone pres
ent may hear what is going on. In fact.
he can't help hearing it. II the caller is
inclined to be confidential and the presi-
dent thinks others present are in doubt
as to what is transpiring, he invariably
makes his answer sufficiently audible to
remove the doubt.
A few days ago, it is said, member Of
the United States supreme court called
on the president, and. catching him by
the sleeve. drew him aside to tell him in
low tones the substance of his request.
In a voice as loud as II he was shouting
to a companion in a moose hunt the pres
ident said: II am sorry, but it cannot
be done; all promitions must be by
merit" Other similar cases are report
ed. All of which goes to show that the
professional politician in Washington has
fallen on evil days.

AS no cRowNINsHIELD.

Whatever may be the public's opinion
as to the general effect Of the Schley YER
dict, at least one point is conclUsive-that
Schley is not a caitiff and coward, as
charged by Maclay and Endorsed by
CrownInshield and his co-conspirators.
This charge, Il viii be borne In mind,
was the basis for the court Of inquiry
whose finding has just been delivered and
on which point Admiral Schley has been
completely indicated by the unanimous
verdict OF the court.
The fact that the charge was made by
a person utterly unworthy Of notice and
connected with the navy merely as an
employe prevents further official action
against the author OF the Islander. But
this does not end the matter by any
means.
BY virtue Of official rank, at least there
are those connected with this conspiracy
who are deserving Of official Investigation
and the matter cannot be disposed Of, 1t
seems to US. until their case has been
attended to.
The fact that Admiral Crowninshield
read the proofs OF Maclay's Islander and
tacitly. at least. Endorsed the charge that
an admiral Of the navy is a caiuff and
coward would seem TO clearly fix upon
him equal responsibility for the charge
especially in view Of Crowninshield's at
titude toward Schley both before and af-
ter the celebrated engagement which
brought forth all this discussion. Indeed,
Crowninshield appears to be the arch con-
spirator in all this diabolical attempt to
injure Schley and steal from him the glory
OF his victory at Santiago. Upon him
more than upon any other man seems to
rest the responsibility for this whole dis
graceful scandal which has made the
navy department a stencil in the nostrils
OF the nation.
But whether HIS responsibility goes any
further or not, it must be admitted, in
view Of the unanimous verdict Of the
court OF inquiry that he is equally guilty
with Maclay in uttering the worst SLAM
der that could be perpetrated against an
officer OF the United States navy. or as
for that matter. against any man-that OF
being a caitiT and coward.
Is It possible now. in view Of these
things. that Crowninshield viii be allowed
to so unrebuked while the man who. next
to Dewey, has done more to shed lustre
on the American navy than any man now
living is held up to prurient criticism and
even censured for alleged technical errors,
even in the face Of victory that should
have overshadowed even the grossest
blunders?
Is it possible that the arrogance of the
naval clique win lead 1t to shield Crownin-
shield from the censure that a fair and
impartial investigation of his conduct
would compel? In the light Of the de-
partment's past history we would not be
surprised at it. but 1t will make all the
more urgent the necessity for a complete
reconstruction of this department II
should be secured from top to bottom,
and the good work should begin with
Crowninshield. Congress cannot allow this
important arm Of the nations service to
be crippled by such scandals as have dis
graced it since the Crowninshield gang
took charge.
