Naval Celebrated Case.

-HE NEWS columns of the daily
press are crowded with reports OF
4 the Schley court of inquiry, and
while the proceedings make interesting
reading, at the same time they cannot
fail in provoking a spirit Of resent
nent against the witnesses for the navy
department. Since this investigation
began the American people have been
amazed over the conduct of officers on
the witness stand to whom they re-
GENTLY paid honor as they have in the
ma st to Perry and Farragut and other
naval heroes.
For example Lieutenant Commander
Heilner of the Texas, although he may
he reckoned as small fry compared with
the principals in this celebrated case,
testified that when the famous loop
was made the Brooklyn, Admiral
schley's flagship, crossed the bow of the
Texas about $50 yards away. This was
too close for safety, he contended, and
others agreed with him. When the
chart was employed to verify the lieu
tenant commanders allegations it was
found that the distance between the
Texas and the Brooklyn at the time
specifed was about 800 yards. When
this wide discrepancy was pointed out
to Heilner he escaped its consequences
by declaring that the chart was inaccu-
rate. AS he was associated with Vain
wright and others in drawing it this ad-
mission of his own Incompetence
startled the naval officers present
HeIner next displayed his chivalry by
swearing that the captain of the Texas
had stopped his ship to avoid collision
with the Brooklyn. but when he was
asked why the ships log did not contain
an entry to that effect he fell back upon
a statement said to have been made by
Captain Philip. since dead, to the eff
feet shat he did not want to put on
record the fault of brother officer.
Fair-minded people who took stock in
Fighting Bob" Evans during the Span
ish war now realize that he is an over
rated sailor, and that some adj
jective other than one denoting cour-
age should precede his family name.
His testimony, like the others, revealed
the burning jealousy of Schley which
consumed those commanders of battle
ships in that famous fight off Santiago.
1t appears that Evans, like Maclay, has
also written a book to glorify his deeds,
and belittle those of others. Oh. what a
fall was there, my countrymen.
Admiral Schley's conduct from the
time Sampson began his attacks in

A highly suggestive article has been
contributed to an English magazine by
Edward A. Strut upon the present
condition of Italy. Mr.. Strut exposes
to public gaze the awful plight of the
Italian farmers and farm laborers who
are taxed ID Tie verge of starvation
to maintain the expensive military es-
tabiishmen- which the nation deems
necessary to its position as a world
power" He says that it is absolutely
impossible for the peasantry to meet
the demands of the tax gatherer. In
Sardinia, which is a garden spot, the
sales of lands and homes for non-pay-
ment of taxes during the last decade
have numbered $4,000. Some of the
claims were ridiculously small. In 40,
600 cases the average amount due for
taxes did not exceed % cents. Italy is
plainly on the road to ruin.

Colonel Bryan knows how to turn
joke away from himself by good-na-
turedly adding to it, which is always
it. Thus in a late issue of the Com
moner he says: Having been dubbed
The Boy Orator of the Platte for a
decade, Mr.. Bryan recently made a trip
II the Rocky mountains to learn more
about the source of that stream. He is
now prepared to have the Republican
papers suggest that ne receive the ap-
pellation, not because of the pure and
limpid rills that constitute the head
waters of the Platte. but because of the
Wilderness of its mouth"

THE PoPE,s ADMoNITIoN.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish Is
perpetual mission. Let all who truly and
from their souls desire that Religion and
society defended BY human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their
liberality to guard and protect the
Catholic press, and let every one in pro-
portion to his income support them with
his money and influence, for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps of this kind. without which thelr
industry will either have no results ol
uncertain and miserable ones.

magazine articles up to the present has
been a shining example of forbearance
and magnanimity. The proceedings OF
the court of inquiry have revealed the
injustice of some of the gravest charges
under which Admiral Schley has suf-
fered in silence. But time rights all
things. If 80 per cent of the American
press represents the sentiments of the
American people Admiral Schley is al
ready indicated, no matter what the
decision of the court of inquiry may be.

A wise bit of advice was given by
Cardinal Vaughan in an address at the
opening of the Catholic conference in
Newcastle. 1t ought to be needed in
az Englishspeaking countries: Call
yourselves Catholics" said his Emil

but preferably Catholics. Indeed it is
important in this country that we call
ourselves Catholics rather than 'Ro-
man Catholics because a false mean
ing is often attached to the latter
term"

CATHOLIC PRESS OPINION.

a good place to begin the crusade
against anarchy would be in the lynch
ing belt. The suppression of this hid
eous form of lawleSsneSs and the pun
ishment of it's aiders and abettors
would produce q wholesome moral eff
feet. 1t is puerile to declaim against
the wickedness of imported enemies of
law and order while we tolerate the
wholesale violation of both by mobs
of our own best citizens 1t is
tremendous undertaking, but if we are
to be appalled, into helpless inactivity
by its magnitude, the country is in a
bad way. The ak must be laid at the
root of the evil. Moral sentiment must
be aroused to the perils of the bar
barous practice. We must realize that

Talking about anarchy. what worse
form can it take than when deliberate
bodies-legislative bodies-vote to

Cleveland school board did last Mon
day night when it passed a resolution
making the teaching of religion a
part Of the studies in the public
schools. 1t had no more right to pass
that resolution than it had to proclaim
Methodism the E.ate religion. 1t is
not only against state law, but against
the constitutional enactments of the
Federal government, which forbids
any state to interfere with the relig-
ious rights of the people, or to sup

Are we to suppose that the Cleveland
school board was too ignorant to know
this? And if the members did know

The English press is divided in opin-
ion as to what lays deep down in the
heart of Theodore Roosevelt, when he
wears his thinking cap and reflects on
the Boer war The announcement that
the president will follow in the foot
steps of his predecessor is not reas-
surfing. especially when John Bull re-
fleets that Roosevelt is a Rough Rider
with Dutch blood in his veins. The
prevalent idea of uncertainty in regard
to President Roosevelt is best ex-
pressed in the conclusion of a brilliant
article by T. P. O'Connor. who says
'Renan. when he was close to his last
hour, wrote that he would like to sur
vive to the middle of the century so
that he might know the ultimate fate
of the young emperor of Germany,
whose tumult was then filing and
alarming the ear of Europe. If the
great philosopher had survived to this
hour he probably would have found a
subject of equal curiosity and uncer-
tainty in the accession to the presi-
dency of this red-haired, restless, short,
muscular man, as ready with his fists
as with his pen, soldier and litera-
teur realist and dreamer, who now
occupies the bleak white palace at
Washington, from which are ruled the
eighty most active, energetic and vital
millions of the human race"

II HE INDEPENDENT, one of the
best weekly magazines published,
under the caption. THE Anar-
chfstic Spirit" quotes a French pub
licist who arraigns the United States
for the madness which provokes liberty
and license to run into lawless anarch-
ism, and says this is inspired by the
frequent lynchings in this country The
Independent admits this charge. and
takes up other forms of anarchy, as
sorting that the men who maintain Ia
Dor strikes by violence and those who
defend or apologize for such violence
are virtual anarchists. I'VE are fully
aware that the wise labor leaders are
strongly opposed to violence says the
Independent. "On this subject Mr..
shaffer. president of the Amdlgamated
associat ton and leader in the late steel
strike, has spoken admirably. He
promised to use all his influence and
power to prevent violence, and it must
be said to the credit of the strikers
that they behaved with unexpected
self-restraint.'
But anarchism is not confined to dis
contented labor, for the Independent
