Southern politicians who are fearful of
losing their government jobs.
There have been so many of these
promises brought to the attention of
the President recently that he is be-
ginning to be suspicious of them, and
may make it the rule that he will have
to be given stronger evidence of his
predecessors favor than the appli-
cants verbal statement. 1t is possible
that some of the applicants misunder-
stood President Mckinley.

There is little doing in the betting
line on the result of the New York
municipal election. One large bet of
$4,000 to $4,000 on Shepard has been
reported, but this is the only one of
magnitude. Plenty of Shepard money
is being offered even but this wager
does not seem to be sufficiently attrac-
tive to the supporters of Low. Though
they express every confidence in the
result of the election, they think they
should be offered odds against the
correctness of their confident predic-
tions.

The old conflict between the book Of
distinctively literary merit and that
which bases its claim to Immortality
fought again. 1t is probably true that
much trash is written and read, but
the complaint is as old almost as the
invention of printing. If it is more
virulent to-day it is because education
has increased and there are more half
tutored men, women and children to
read books. That they can't appreci-
ate good ones is not a matter for sur
prise; certainly not for tears.

Report of Inspection on the City and

Suburban Schedule.
A. L. Thomas. inspector in the engineer
department of the District, has reported
to the Commissioners upon complaints re-
ceived from the North Capitol and Ecking-
ton Citizens Association and a resident Of
South Brookland in regard to the schedule
in effect the Maryland division of the
City and Suburban railroad Mr. Thomas
incloses to the Commissioners q CODY of
the time table at present in effect, which
he says is believed to substantially agree
with the actual operation Of cars on this
division.
This schedule" continues Mr. Thomas,
was Professionally approved by the Com
m1ssioners March 90, 1901 and from OBJ
servation it is not found tha. the col,di-
tions of traffic have materially changed
since my last report, which was made Feb
ruary 4, 1901. My observation taken dur
ing the thirty minute schedule time was
that the cars ran from !lalf-loaded to
comfortably filled In no instance was it
found that the cars We're crowded, and this
constituted the Maryland Brookland and
lexington travel; neither does this commu-
nication complain that the accommoda-
tions are insufficient for the travel
might further add in respect to this matter
that l have the assurance Of the railway
management that the traffic of this road
is being watched and that additional cars
will be added to the schedule as the traf-
fic demands, but a shorter schedule at
this time, it is said by the management,
would entail pecuniary loss to the COM
pany.''

gives details of the travel at South Brook

THE SUPREME COURT

Within the next six or eight months
the democrats of Tennessee will select
candidates for the supreme bench to be
elected next fall. At least one of the
five members will come from East Ten
nessee, and already the candidates are

is one of the most important positions
within the gift of the people, and too
much care can not be exercised in Sc
Letting candidates, for the democrats
name the court. It will not do to ex-

Col. j. B. Brownlow, representative
of the post Office department at the
department at the Pan.American Ex-
position recalls a significant circum-
stance with reference to the south in
connection with the mail service. He
says: "When the war OF 1891 began,
money was due citizens in all the Sc
ceded- states for carrying the mails.
Under resolution of congress payment
was forbidden except where parties
having claims could prove continuous
aud unconditional loyalty to the Union.
Several years ago congress rescinded
this resolution and provided that in all
cases payment should be made with
out reference to the qaestion of loyalty
or disloyalty Alexander H. Stephens
Vice President of the confederacy,
supported Douglas for, President in
1860. After the election and before
Georgia seeded, Mr.. Stephens wrote
letter to Hon. Stephen A. Douglas.
He never received a reply. He said
himself he was satisfied his letter was
not permitted to go through the mails
in Georgia else he wonld have received
a response. Before Tennessee seeded
letters of W Ct. Brownlow to George
ID. Prentice of the Louisville Courier.
Journal and other men within the
states which did not secede were op.
ened in East Tennessee dostofices and
sent to the confederate authorities al

has indnbitable proof. Tie postal
clerks on the line Of the E. Tenn, Va
and Ga. RAILROAD threw large packages
OF the Knoxville Wing into the river Of
East Tennessee as the trains passed
saying, ''No Lincolnite newspapers
should be circulated. 1t is proper tc

Schley's VindiCation,

The utter collapse of the conspiracy
to blacken the reputation of Admiral
Schley is ulready apparent. There is
not peg for the prosecution, for such
it has been, to hang on. Just how this
conspiracy originated is not at all clear,
but that it has existed can not bel
doubted. There are cliques in all the
armies and navies of Europe. There
is nearly always compact body of Of
ticers who are committed to some one
man as the fittest to command in criti-
cal times, and as the commander who
will best further their interests. In
the British army there was Butler
faction and a Kitchener faction. Bu-
reaucracy saturates the Russian army
and navy. France has suffered terribly
from this same cause. This sort Of
thing is not unnatural, for the young
army or naval officer naturally sspires
to a career, and by identifying himself
with some rising man he is in fair way
to get it. 1t was thought, until the
Spanish war came up, that we were free
from this sort Of thing, but the Schley
inquiry shows how badly we have been
deceived.
There had grown up bureaucratic
spirit in the navy department at Wash
ington. 1t has been suggested that
Capt. SIMPSONS following in the navy
was due to the personnel bill passed
several years ago, and with which his
name WAS identified. Thiss bill, in
effect, relocated the admirals and COM
modores to the rear and brought the
captains and the young officers to the
front. The bill is responsible for the
scandal arising from the advancement
of Capt. Sampson over the heads Of
dozens of officers who ranked him. Al
the same time it, no doubt, bound d
great many of the junior officers ia
Sampson. AT the time of the breaking
out of the Spanish-American war the
Sampson Crowninshield influence al
Washington was entirely in the ascend
ant. There had arisen what we may
designate as the Great Sampson Myth
Weheard nothing of Dewey and Schley
in those days. Sampson was the Death
in-the- Woods. The rest were the field
