Always Easy.

The Sentinel last week contained two very
satisfactory articles in reply to the ADVOCATE s
expose of the gueses it was endeavoring to
palm off on its readers as facts, concerning
the number of defective ballots cast at the
late election and the number voted by White
Men and the number voted by Negroes. We
say very satisfactory, because they were very
satisfactory to the Sentinel. No one outside
of the Sentinel sanctum, so viewed them, and
they call for no comment, because they were
simply no replies at all. One error the Sen
tinel made, however, must be denied-that
is, that the article of the ADVOCATE was ia
bored" We assure our esteemed contempt
rary that it is never any labor to expose the
vagaries, inconsistencies and haphazzard
guesses and speculations of that journal. 1t

Findings in the Schley Inquiry

In an other column will be found the opin-
ion of the Court of Inquiry in the case OF
Admiral Schey. some press comments on the
opinion and comparison OF the Naval desk
heroes, who condemned Schley, with the real
fighters of the Navy, Dewey and Schley.
Admiral Benham aud Ramsay conclude that
Schley should have done a variety of little
technical nothiugs, but say he acted heroicaIly
during the naval battle off Santiago, and Adj
miral Dewey not only exhonerates Schley but
accords him full praise for winning the battle.
Schlev was directed to blockade Santiago
and to give battle should Cervera try to es-
cape. The blockade was well guarded, and
when the Spanish feet tried to escape Schley
attacked the fleet and destroyed or captured
every boat. Some 1900 Spanards were killed
and all others were made prisoners. The
victory was complete. Nothing more could
have been done, and Schey, we believe, lost
but one man, In view of this, the Judgment
of Bcnham and Ramsay seems like con-
demnaton for destroying Spain last hope.
Had Cervera escaped the war would have
been prolonged, which some naval officers
and naval contractors no doubt desired.
For some reason, the controlling clique IN
the Navy and the Navy Department under
took to belttle Schley, and both were backed
by the Mckinley Administration. Mckinley
endeavored to have Sampson, who was twelve
miles away when Ceryera' fleet emerged from
Santiago harbor, elevated over Schley, but
the United States Senate would not confirm
his action. Schley was then given undesir-
able sea command, and the persecution of
Schley was intensified. In the award of prize
money Sampson was given S25, 1914, and
will probably receive so. 900 more. Schley was
allowed 1891. Capt. Chadwick, who was
with Sampson, was allowed SlS,347 SO.
Can't. Cook, who was with Schley on the
BROOKLYN. will receive 81, 1902. Was in
Justice more palpable? Was prejudice ever
carried so far? During the war of 1876,
Generals not in political sympathy with the
Administration, like Mcclellan and Meade,
were turned aside. In the Spanish war, Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who knew more about affairs
in Cuba, the population, the general condi-
lions, the Insurgents, the Spanish troops and
the topography of the country than any United
States officer, was held in Florida, while
Shafter was sent to Cuba to direct the cam
paign against the Spanish. But all this is
insignificant compared with the treatment of
Schley. However, the overwhelming major
ity of the people accord Schley the distinction
and honor due him and his great achievement
in overcoming Cervera's fleet Wherever he
goes, crowds cheer and applaud him. and hail
him as one of the greatest of American naval
commanders.

Press Comments.

Over the country has swept wave of adj
verse criticism of the opinion of the Schley
Court of Inquiry, very few of the newspapers
commencing the verdict of the court and
nearly all of them holding that the opinion of
Admiral Dewey fully offsets that of his col
leagues on the board. Some of the editorial
comments on the verdict are as follows
From the Baltimore Sun 1T is most deeply
to be regretted that the two inferior members
of the Schley Court of Inquiry, constituting a
majority of that body, have had the hardhood
to make a report voicing substantially the
preiudices of jealous fellow officers in the
Navy Department, rather than the plain TRUTH
as made manifest to the American public by
the great event with which the whole world is
familiar. The majority report admits, indeed,
that admiral Schley's conduct during the
battle was self-possessed and that he encour-
aged in his own person his subordinate officers
and men'-thus disposing of the absurd
"caitiff" charge-but in respect to his entire
management of the feet before the battle of
Santiago and during that victorious action the
majority report finds the Admiral at fault.
Evidently a finding so out of keeping with the
Judgment of the unprejudiced public cannot
stand, but will necessitate Congressional in
vestigation and second inquiry, thus creating
an unpleasant parallel to the Dreyfus scandal.
1t is to be noted that Admiral Dewey,
minority of the court, indeed, but its presiding
officer and in position which enables him to
Judge the facts far better than the other men,
beers of the court sustains Admiral Schley in
all important points, finding that he did his
full duty throughout the Santiago campaign
and is entitled to the credit of the superb naval
victory there. This is the verdict of common
sense and will command general support.
I'M
Judge impartially, honors the victor of Santi-
ago, while the other members of the court,
with no such qualifications, undertake to re-
verse the facts of history.

Tds Reform League.

Charlie BGaaparte and several other mem
bers of the Reform League Of Maryland have
been guessing on rejected bollots and real and
alleged election results, and the result is a
report filling several columns. The League IS
professedy non partisan body, organized to
purify politics and government. But ii 1t has
been anything but rampant, reckless partl-
san organization, we have failed to note 1t.
1t should be called Deformed League. Its
professions do not accord with its practices,
as it is continually critiscising and OBTAINING
the Democratic party, with no adverse COM
ment upon the conduct of Republicans. The
membership is almost wholly made up OF
blind Republican partisans and the balance
have no fixed political principles.
The last delverance ofthe League is nothing
but rehash of the rawlings of McComas and
Goldsborough, with some figures as to re-
iected ballots-mere guesses-thrown in. The
League is never happy except when 1t is
scoding the Democratic party, and is never
so quiet and unobserving when the Repub-
lican party is in power. Not member, per-
haps, WINGED at voting for some of the scaly
Republican candidates at the late election,
but yet presume to speak of pure methods and
pure men. Its motto should be Hypocrisy.
