regard Sampson as wholly responsible

vestige of public regard. His last I'M

continue to ignore the foolish conduct of
this officer. In this case he has traduced
a brother officer so grossly as to have

No doubt Sampson believes what he says.
1t Is at least charitable to believe that
he does. And assuming that he does
he surely cannot ignore the truth that
from every point Of view the subject mat
ter of his charge against Sehley is still
in controversy. Why then enbody his
partial and prejudiced statements in what

Santiago as being Beyond all dispute?
1t is true that Sampson is not known to
have written this view of the battle en-
bodied in this book But in allowing
the proofs to be submitted to him. and
reading the proofs without effectng al
teration in them, he accepted the matter
as his own and cannot now shrik the
responsibility. He says he stands by his
original report If that is the only posi-
ton he desired to occupy toward this
shabby transaction, why did he not
that in the opinion of the commander of
the squadron, Rear Admiral Sampson,
schley had been guilty Of cowardice and
had run from the enemy, rather than let
the slanderous statement go into history
in all its nakedness.
AS the part of a man looked upon as
wholly collected and responsible, the
action thus taken by Sampson toward
Schley would be regarded as nothing
short of dishonorable He ought not
to be allowed to hold his present dis
tinguished position. Either his volun-
tary or his enforced retirement should
be brought about. When the head of
the American navy finds it proper to as
sail the character of one of his fellow
officers of high rank as he assails the
character of Admiral SchIey, thus I'M

of the bird that befouIs it's own nest,
and should be excluded from responsible
official station.

Ladies Home Journal
The story of the "'Dashing Kate Chase
and Her Great Ambition" Is told by VIII
liam Perrlhe. Born In 1S40 she early be-
gan to exhibit a masterful spirit, to
study politics, and to dream Of the pos
sfbilities in store for her when her faith
er, Salmon P. Chase, was proposed as a
candidate for the presidency in 1856 and
again in 1860.
When he was called to a cabinet posi-
ton he had been married three times,
and it was whispered that he was
about to make a certain lady his fourth
wife. But the resolute Kate had made
up her mind that no one should step in
between her and her father, and one day
when the lady called she was made so
keenly to feel that she was an intruder
that the budding romance was bl!ghted,
and Chase remained a wldower.
Even after Kate's brilliant marriage to
Senator William Sprague, of Rhode ISL
and, she still cherished the ambition to
see her father installed In the White
house, and was most gracious to those
who were likely to be influential in help
ing her to advance his interests When
he was appointed chief justice she saw
in 1t only a scheme to head off his presi-
Dental aspirations forever. and said ha Z
loosely, half reproachfully, to Senator
Sumner, who had voted for his appoint

In 1868 she nearly succeeded In getting
the Democratic national convention to
carry out her wishes. 1t was in ses-
sion In Tammany hall, New York city.
and she kept in communication with 1t
by messengers, waiting anxlously for the
moment when it was believed her father
would carry all by storm. On the
fourth day the moment seemed to have
arrived, and her heart leaped with 10y.
But the expected stampede did not come,
and the impatient daughter was almost
moved to go herself to Tammany hall.
Indeed, there were afterward soma poll
ticians who observed that, If she could
have gone among the delegates on the
floor. she might have been able az the
crucial point to have swung the conyen-
ton to the chief Justice. Instead, Hora-

JAY COOKE AT EIGHTY.

August Success.
Jay Cooke will be eighty years old this
month. His long life has been filled
with incidents which have helped to make
him one of the most remarkable of the
worlds veterans and have brought him to
green old age with wealth, quiet mind,
and troops of friends. To make and
lose, and then regain a fortune, is one
of the things that fall to the lot of very
few men. To do this, and still hold
the good will and confidence of their fell
lows falls to the lot of fewer still. Both
achievements stand to the credit of Mr..
Cooke, who also has swayed the destiny
of nation, and has been a prop and
support of the republic in its darkest
hours He was one of whom Gen. Grant
spoke in the following message on the
eve of Lees surrender
Tell MIN that it is to his labors, more
than to those of any other man. that the
people Of this country owe the continued
life of a nation"
This message, after the lapse of gen
Grafton, has become the sober verdict
of history.
There is romance as we'll as pathos in
the story of Jay Cookies career He
was born in Ohio. Aug. 10, 1921, the son
of Yankee father and an Irish mother.
He left school while a growing lad, and,
at the age of eighteen, became a clerk
In the PnlIadelphia banking mousse OF
E. w. Clark g. Co. Three years later he
was admitted to the firm as a partner.
The opening of the Civil war found him
the head of a banking house which bore
! his name and was soon to have branches
in New York Washington and London.
Though not yet forty, he was already
widely known as a shrewd and successful
fnancier, and this led Salmon P. Chase,
the newly appointed secretary of the
treasury, to appeal to him to aid in rails
ing money to carry on he war Buchan-
an had left to his successor an empty
treasury, and it seemed impossible to
borrow money at a less rate of interest
than / per cent month.
Mr.. Cooke proved the man for the hour.
He brought number of leading bankers
together and induced them to loan the
government $50, OO00 600 to meet it's imme-
date needs short time after this
loan was made, Mr. Chase appealed to
him to become the financial agent of the
government. He cheerfully accepted the
financial trust. He believed the resources
of the country could be drawn on for any
necessary amount, and the result justi
fed his confidence. During four years,
he secured 81, 500, 100000 from the sale or
bonds, obtaining as high as $50 100000 in
a single day Mr.. Cooke delights to talk
of the methods which ne employed to ac-
complish his gigantic task

FREE B4rHs EXCLUSIONS.


Two excursions on the Mississippi river
will leave this city on next Friday. They
viii be conducted under the auspices Of
the ST. Paul Commercial club. Their
object Is to raise funds to pay off the
remaining debt on the free public baths
OF the city.
River excursions are perhaps the most
enjoyable forms of summer outing in
this section. There is every assurance
OF days quiet and healthful enjoyment
for every person, young and old, who en-
barks on the excursion steamer. The
Commercial club will guarantee this
There is no possibility of disturbance
OF any kind, or OF any unpleasant expert
ence whatever, no matter how freely the
occasion is patronized.
Every opportunity which the public has
had of showing their attachment to the
free baths they have made the utmost
use of. They have in every rank OF
life shown themselves interested to the
point of liberality. The baths have had
mostly to depend on the favor of the
masses Of the people. There has been
next to nothing done for them by the
weather element of our people. The
dependence must still remain on the mass
of the people who frequent the baths
to render them entirely free from debt
No better method could be chosen to
accomplish this end than the one adopt
ed by the Commercial club. It has the
sanction of DR.. Ohage, and it in it.
self affords an opportunity for cheap
and. enjoyable outing for those who take
part in it. The baths will receive the
benefit of the money expended, since, as
the e understands, the net pro-
ceeds of the excursions after the actual
expense is deducted, go to the fund for
the removal Of the debt from the baths.
The first Of the free baths excursions will
leave the dock at 2:SO p. m on Friday.
The second will leave at 7SO in the
evening. Every person in public employ
ment in this city and vicinity ought to
NNAN
public undertaking, and should be pat
rcnized by all who are supposed to have
the welfare of the community at heart.
The sum of one dollar will purchase a
ticket and secure a days splendid enjoy
ment. No cheaper rate prevails. No
better opportunity for passing a days va
cation can be had at any price When it
is considered that a good is being done
for thousands Of poor persons who must
have recourse to the baths, since it is al
most the only means of outdoor enjoy
ment available to them, the occasion
ought to be sought after by every public
spirited and philanthropic person.
The Clio b Q urges all its readers who
can avail themselves of this opportunity
10 enjoy days outing and at the same
time help the public baths along to avail
themselves of the occasion. Tickets can
be had at the G o e counting room.

should never be allowed to make public
utterance without having it submitted
to some one of mature years and dis
Greet habits. His latest speech acknowI-

account of the battle of Santiago con-

EASTERN IRRIG 4TIoN

For the last fifteen years the efforts
of the West to secure aid from the gen
erol government for purposes of irriga-
ton have been frustrated by the repre-
sentatives from the Eastern and Mid
die states who could not see in what re-
spect a system of irrigation was going to
help their constituents. Irrigation to them
meant only one thing-the retaining Of
the arid wastes of the far West. Their in
terest in this was so remote from and the
matter of appropriating money to finance
the scheme was so near to the hearts Of
the men on whose votes they depended
for reelection, that political expediency
kept them steadily opposed to the prop
osition.
The last two years, however, have
wrought a marked change in the senti-
ment in favor of irrigation as a safe
guard against droughts in what is termed
the humid regions of the United States
The people have become awake to the fact
that in many parts of the country, both
cast and west, the wearing anxiety of the
farmer can be eliminated and annual
crops made certain by giving systemat-
ic attention to the conservation OF
moisture. The Baltimore Sun has come
TO the conclusion that a system of gov
ornment reservoirs and irrigation canals
SO arranged as to retain and use when
needed, the surplus rainfall in the noun
tain regions of the Eastern states would
be of the greatest value to the agricul-
tural interests there. This is a hopeful
sign. 1t means assistance in this moves
ment, where heretofore there has been
nothing but opposition No good reason
exists why the general government. either
clone or in conjunction with the inai-
Yidual states, should not appropriate
money to place the Eastern, Southern and
+ Middle states in possession of means to
withstand the periodical droughts which
so discourage the farmers.
Irrigation in the West. especially on the
Pacific slope, means the opening up of vast
regions which are now useless wastes
But in the East it means wealth to
many who are now forcing bare Ily-

COST OF VACATIONS.
Chicago. Tr9lbune.

Chicago Tr9ibune.
The vacation season is Thought to be re-
sponsible for the apparent disappearance
of something like SIS, O0G, 900 cash known
to have been received by New York banks
from interior points since the first week
Of May The Wall street news agencies
make it their business to keep track of
the movement of money, and the banks
furnish to the reporters of the agencies
statements of their gains or losses each
week from the shipments Of CURRENCY.
The seven weeks beginning with May
IS and ending with the week of June 20
show a total net gain of $19 1886, 400 on the
basis Of the reports of the individual
banks, whereas the figures given at the
official weekly statements os averages of
the associated banks show q net loss of
$1,170, 500 for the same period.
1t is true that the average system Of
figuring in making up the bank statement
prevents the actual condition Of the Banks
from being stated, but this system would
not account for so great discrepancy
The suggestion was made today that
the explanation lies in the fact that in
the vacation season a great many thou
sands of New Workers go away to the
seashore and mountains for longer or
shorter periods Of time, and that ali of
them carry good deal of currency away
with them. Money is taken from savings
banks and trust companies, giving no op-
portunity to the financial reporters to
make a record Of it's disappearance.
The families OF the wealthy go to New
port or the Maine coast for the entire
season. and the sums they have taken
away in this year of phenomenal prosper
itX have probably exceeded those of any
former year. The discrepancy between
the two reports may be- in large measure,
due to this cause, and if that is true the
money will probably filter back to New
York next fall in time to help meet the
Withdrawals to the interior which ordinar-
lily come with the fall revival of business.
