but we cannot believe that they were

Americans respect such of their rulers
as deserve their respect, but they must
show it in their own way. There must
be no adulation. There must be a
large dose of hearty and not too ether

Ssc'y Long Has Turned
the Admiral Down.
Admiral Sampson's Father Was
a Day Labor.
Washington, D. G., Feb. &C..

Washington, D. G., Feb. 26..
Rear Admiral Sampson, the man
who planned the naval campaign
which eliminated in the destruction
Of Cevera's squadron off Santiago in
July, 1898, has blundered. In letter
to the Navy department he subscribed
to the un-American principle that no.
body in the American navy except
graduates of the Annapolis Academy
possesses the inherent traits that dis
tinguish a gentleman.
Recently, upon the recommendation
of Secretary Long, Congress author
lied the promotion of six gunners to
the rank of ensign, the lowest in the
navy and corresponding to that of Sec
ond lieutenant in the army. Charles
Morgan, n gunner stationed at New
Port, applied to Sampson for a re-
commentator that he be designated
for examination for promotion.
Admiral Sampson endorsed Morgan's
application, but before forwarding 1t
to the Navy department made COM
ments of a character that made Sec.
retary Longs blood tingle. This is
what he wrote:
Navy Yard, Boston, Mass, Feb. IA.
Endorsement, first - Respectfully
forwarded to the Navy department
for its consideration.
"Second-Mr. Morgan has good pro-
fessional ability. He also has. which
distinguishes him from most other
warrant officers. gentlemanly bear.
ing If he We're to be commissioned
as an ensign he would probably com,
pare favorably both professionally and
| in personal conduct and bearing with
other officers of that grade, as far
as his technical education would per
init.
"Third-It is earnestly to be hoped
however, that the Secretary of the
Navy will not find it necessary to take
advantage of the authority which
understand is to be granted him t.
appoint a certain number of warrant
officers to the grade of ensigns.
"While it is true that these mel
are selected from large class o.
men of very unusual ability, whicl
distinguishes them as perhaps tho pro
fessional equals of their officers as fa
as their technical education stands, 1
is also true that they are not recruite,

1T is submitted that in time o
peace the navy's function consists t
certain extent of representing tn
country abroad, and it is importan
that the nayy's representatives shoul
be men of at least refinement. Will
there are perhaps certain few anon
