The investigation has added no laurel
to Schley that he lacked before his
fool friends started the row.. He has
certainly not been shown to be Il big
ger man than his admirers thought him
prior to the raising of this scandal. On
the contrary, while he has not been
convicted of cowardice or of treason
or of any Intentional great fault at a
time of tremendous expectancy, all
judicious readers of the testimony must
see that he was vacillating, unstable
ana fitfil. Very probably he did his
best. But that was not good enough
to fulfil the best traditions. And.
moreover, his correspondence with
Hodgson shows him up as a tricky
man; from the most charitable stand
point 1t is damaging to his reputation.

to prove that the Mckinley way was
the prudent way and that those who,

Schley an ~irreparable injury.

of widespread study. since
Seth Low resigned the presidency of

at Tammany make a lasting impress
sion. lie is closely seconded by Will
liam Travers Jerome, the anti-Tam-
many candidate for district attorney,
who is more bitterly hated by Croker
than any other man in the anti-Tam-
many ranks, because Jerome as II
magistrate has pulled the mask off
Tammany's partnership With vice and
furnished most of the ammunition used
in the present attack. 1t would not
hurt Cookers hold on Tammany To

he has put Shepard VI to be knocked
down, But it might destroy Tam
many if both the mayor ami the dis

prosecuting those crlminally impli-
Gated in official crookedness. For that
reason Jerome is as much the central
figure in the contest against Tammany
as is Seth Low, and he is doing as
strong fighting.
The principal point urged by Low,
Jerome and The other anti-Tammany
leaders is that government by Tam

Concerning Divorce,

"HE VOTE of the house of
deputies of the general F,pis-
II copal convention declining
TO accept in the canon on
marriage and divorce adopted by the
house of bishops the section outlawing
the reinarriage of innocent parties to
divorce, though close. is significant.
The support for this proposition comes
almos wholly from the clergy; the
opposition to it, from the laity. The
clergy live largely in an ideal world
and would order things to correspond.
The laity recognize life as it is.
Both views have their value but in
the making of laws. whether political
or ecclesiastical. it is better to have
laws that AN be enforced than laws
which become dead letters. There is
only one church which has succeeded
in maintaining among its members the
indissolubility of marriage. From the
nature of things no Protestant denom-
nation can hope to prevent divorce. 1t
may discourage ii. froWn upon it and
Use every persuasive and educational
influence at its command to minimize
it, but the it proposes to cast
out of its fold those who have been
divorced without guilt, save insofar as
guilt may by some be assumed from
the fact of divorce, tina moment il
opens its door to an exodus of those
of its members whose consciences ac-
Quit them for having obtained divorce.
In the eyes of the civil law, mar
riagc is u contract. for life or good be-
haVior 1t is proper to enact safe
guards against the whimsical and in
considerate breaking Of this contract.
1t is proper to throw safeguards
around the making Of the contract, so
that those who wish to enter into it
may not do so until they realize what
they are doing. 1t is proper for those
who so feel to condemn the breaking of
the contract under any circumstances.
But until Il ma iority can be made so
to feel III tn" matter, divorce in our
civil courts will be available for cause.
and while that is true no ecclesiastical
canon a stop ii or materially cheek it.
The disposition of the issue made at
San Francisco is therefore worldly
wise and in consonance with COMMON
sense.

inc humorous feature of the canl-

Democratic organization of Brooklyn,
Tainmarv candidate Shepard's chief
sponsor, in which many of the charges
brought by the anti-Tammanyitcs
against Tammany rule are admitted
and condemned. Here. for example. is
one extract: the personal reference be-
ing to the Brooklyn representative on
the Greater New York police board
ut Is every where recognized that Mr..
Horkis efforts have been directed to-
ward keeping Brooklyn at least free
from the evils which af1lict the Dor
ougll of Manhattan. with the en-
trance of Brooklyn into the league of
b%oroughs which constitutes the pres
ent city of New York. an effort VAS

cred the borough of Manhattan. and
to Introduce the system of police pro-
tecton which has iiourished for over
forty years in the old city of New
York. In another place there is a
reference to the Tammany attempt to
"Deveryize' Brooklyn. 1t is explained
that these thrusts at Tammany got
into the book Inadvertently" But
their presence is better explained by
the fact that Edwin n. Shepard. the
Tammany candidate for mayor, is try |
ing to face both ways.
In the meantime. Croker and his fol-
lowers are pursuing the expedient pol |
icy of silence. They are letting the 9TH |
Ell side do the spouting while they oil
their machine.

S THE Schley investigation
proceeds, it becomes clear
that the course of the Nc
Kinley administration with
reference to Mr.. Schley was wise. 1t
did not give him the chief command,
and we think the disclosures made in
the testimony as to his lack of firm
ness and decision at critical moments
constitute a justification of hat decis-
ion. But it gave him the second high
est command, to avoid any appearance
of prejudice; and if his friends had let
him alone this, also, would have turned
out we'll.
When he made that extraordinary
retrogradc movement off Santiago, it
did not, as most of the officers on the
strategy board expected and wanted,
order his arrest and appearance before

what his explanations We're. These,
though not satisfactory, were not in
