"My Commodore"

Those who have followed the testi
nony given at the Schley court of in.
3uiry have been struck with one nota.
BILE fact. OF the many witnesses the
most clear and explicit testimony has
lot come from the officers, who are sup.
posed to be skilled in naval matters
out from civilians and On-commission-
ed officers and enlisted men. More than
hints have been made that the Sampson
.lique having in control the bureaus of
the Navy Department. out of which
comes promotions and desirable assign
ments, has unduly Influenced officers.
This is enough to account for the gen
eral cloudiness of most of the profes-
sional testimony.
The civilians, particularly the news
paper men who were assigned to duty
off Santiago. have told straightforward
stories. Correspondent Graham gave
20 the court the most Ineligible ac-
count OF the Brooklyn's part in the
great battle of July that has yet been
heard. Perhaps this was because it
was his regular business to observe.
md not to forget. But equally straight
forward was the story yesterday told
by William l.. Hill, boatswain on the
Brooklyn during the engagement, who
stood near the then Commodore Schley
while the battle was OH.

Now the fish is chopped very fine. the

hot at first, it is chilled by the dumping

s.u.tor A,,i,on,. GI.d Word.


One of the most unanimous" states
Senator Allison. He has the happy fac
ulty described by st. Paul of being all
things to all men. His word is peculiar
ly glad.
For years the Senator has been con-
sidered available timber for the Presi-
dency Men now old have grown gray
in advocating his claims. Yet, when
the contest waged warm, and there
was likely to be a strained condition
in the public mind, the Senator has
wisely withdrawn, carrying out the
same benignant countenance with
which he went in. His is the smile
that never contracts.
Even to-day, with uncertainty divid-
ing Republicanism into groups, Senator
Allison is the admired one of each in
turn. He declared himself to be pro-
tectiOnist with Senator Hanna, a revi-
sionist with Mr.. BabcOck, a believer Of
reciprocity as the late President Nc
Kinley intended it, and an advocate Of
it under whatever form President
Roosevelt may present it. In fact, the
Senator is everywhere at once, and at
serious disagreement with no man.
There are reciprocity treaties before
the Senate, and according to the Sena-
tors they are good. The Senate has not
adopted them, it is true, but then the
committee has considered them, and
that is very good. They will probably
come up on the roll some time, and as
the Senate is an eternal body cOnsidera-
tion cannot be forever put off, and that
is good.
The happy optimism of Senator ALI
son is catching. 1t would make a man
with a dime in his pocket have the feel
ing of Il millionaire. In truth, the SEN
ator his discovered the mind cure for
all iils.-Atlanta Constitution.
