The Brattleboro Reformer has
dropped its semi-weekly issue and will
appear hencetorth as a weekly. The
new management has discovered that
the semi-weekly plan does not pay.
This, we believe, has been learned by
other publishers who have made the
experiment. There is no halfway
house between the weekly and the
daily. Having the week is unnatural
and not satisfactory to the reading

The snmpson Scandal.

We sincerely trust that the Administra-
ton IS satisfied at last on the point Of
what the American people think of Samp-
son. The speech of Mr.. Allen OF Nebraska
yesterday. the enthusiastic reception of
Gunner Morgan by the people Of Newport
and the satirical or contemptuous allu-
siqns to the Nan Behind the Horizon which
were made in topical songs and so on.
in the theatres of the principal cities last
night. all are convincing evidences Of pop
ular sentiment throughout the country.
Senator Allen referred to- Rear Admiral
Sampson Is a Connected ass" and the
galleries applauded. He denounced the
person who wrote the snobbish endorse
nent on the gunners application for pro
motion as AN arrant coward for doing
it Again there was applause. The samp-
son clique in the Senate surrendered at
discretion and abandoned their efforts TO
have Sampson rewarded for the meritori-
Gus deeds of schIey-
Sampson is as dead as Hector. and de-
serves his fate The regrettabIe part Of
the affair is that the Navigation Bureau
ring VIII now turn upon Rear Admiral
SchIey and attempt to drag him into the
grave occupied by his junior. That. OF
course. will be an outrage. If SchIey was
worthy to be made a vice admiral last
week, and even the Sampsonites agreed
that he was, provided their favorite could
have precedence, he is no less entitled to
the promotion now that Sampson has been
exposed and fattened out under the
weight of public opinion We understand.
however. that those who march under the
banner Of the Fraud Of San Juan and
AIatanzas, declare that, since their man
has fallen into disgrace. the naval com
nander who fought and won the great
sea battle of Santiago must be made to
share in that disgrace, and be denied de-
cent recognition Of his services and VIC
tory by the United States Government
This is of a piece with the cold blooded
Indifference to justice which has marked
the cause of the Sampson cabaI from first
to last. and which has filed Europe with
surprise. The standing of Rear Admiral
Schley as the second OF American naval
generals in point of ability and Of
achievement during the Spanish war IS
fixed in the worlds common opinion. and
in history forever. He may be deprived
Of the honors he has won. as far as that
can be accomplished by the Administra-
ton; but generations yet unborn viii
read Of that great day when schley sunk
or captured the Spanish feet. while the
faineant Sampson was safely hidden be-
hind the eastern sky line.

Circulation Statement.
The Last of Free speech.

The American people are already IA
miliar with the unpleasant fact that their
National house Of Representatives has
been shorn of its independence and the
ordinary rights of q deliberative body
Consequently, they should not be greatly
surprised TO learn, as they will from the
press today, that The last remaining right
Of Representative in Congress. that of
free speech, has been stricken down by
the power Of the Hanna combination
Some days ago Mr. Lentz of Ohio wrote
a speech in which he handled the scan
cal Of the latest Senatorial election in
Ohio without gloves. In ordinary course
Mr. Lentz, under leave to print. took it
TO the Public Printer last Monday
for insertion in the next issue Of
the Congressional Record AS it
did not appear on The following day. Mr..
Ientz made enquiries at the Government
Printing Once, when TO his astonish-
ment he was told that Speaker Henderson
had ordered its delivery TO Representa-
tive Grosvenor, who represents Mr. Han
ia il. the lower branch Of Congress AS
it was evident that the intention was to
have Mr. Grosvenor act as press censor
in The premises. Mr. Lentz made the mat
ter question of personal privilege and
asked from his place in the House: rs
Congress TO have censorship such as ex-
lists in the Philippine islands," A resoIu-
tion, offered BY Mr.. Richardson of Ten
nessee declaring that the Speaker of the
House mas no right to withhold from the
Record the speech Of any member
made under general leave to print was
voted down, by a Rarrov majority, as
was another similar resolution more in
detail
Thus. sUbserviency 70 Hanna, the Dicta-
tor, has caused the House of Representa-
tiTes to endorse the suppression Of its
last constitutional right Hereafter, IN
less the practice of seryiIe submission to
the great Hanna in all things shall be
changed, the Congressional Record" will
not be a record of proceedings. but a rec
ord Of what Hanna, Henderson. and eros
venor may think would look well in print
from 3 trust Administration point of
view. Under such conditions we NAV be
fairly confident that future editions Of
our esteemed official contemporary will
be clear of al illusions to the Columbus
Senatorial election, and other things dis
agreeable TO the imperial powers The
House viii now settle down TO a strictly
vegetable existence. and its members viii
be only known to the country through
the publication of what the Hanna-Hen-
derson-Grosvenor censorship may choose
TO put in their mouths.

erately bring themselves 10 a state Of
such contemplate servitude deserve no
better fate than the one which viii in
time oEertake them, when the American
masses shall one day awaken from their
lethargy TO discover how representative
government is being crushed out in Wash
ing-on under the heel OF Hanna and his
political and other associates.
