TROUBLE FOR ADMIRAL EVANS

The Washington papers continue to
insist that ex-Secretary of the Navy
Chandler intends to make trouble for
Rear Admiral Evans. known better as
Fighting Bob Evans because of some
statements made by the Admiral in his
book, entitled "a Sailors Log"
The Admiral does not say much about
Mr.. Chandler in his book, but he says
enough to indicate pretty clearly that
he has a grievance against him. He
compares Mr.. CNandler to an insect.
Probably Mr.. .dler intends to make
himself as troublesome to the Admiral
as hornet might be under some cir
Gums stances.
Mr.. Chandler is not a man to forget
or forgive an injury. And as he is a
particularly bright man it may be in
his power to make the Admiral wish
that he had not stirred up that hor-
net.
The letter which Mr.. Chandler ad-
dressed to the Secretary of the Navy
respecting the matter does not seem
to have been productive of any action
by the Navy Department Secretary
Long is inclined, apparently. 10 smooth
the matter over-at least, not to have
any trouble respecting it. 1t may be
that he thinks Admiral Evans did
wrong in attacking a former Secretary
of the Navy, but he does not see his
way clear to call Admiral Evans to ac-
count.
1t has been limited that the matter
would be taken up by the Senate, of
which Mr.. Chandler was a member not
long ago,but there is no probability that
it will. AS Secretary Long points out.
neither Admiral Evans nor Mr.. Chand-
Ter is a member of that body. Con-
sequently. there is no satisfactory way
in which the Senate can become mixed
up with the Chandler Evans quarrel.
Is there a lack of discipline in the
navy, that naval officers are getting
into troubles of one sort and another
1t may be that Secretary Long is not
as strict as he ought to be. If that
is the case. a gentle reminder from the
President would not be amiss. Naval
officers ought to be held to a very strict
accountability in order to prevent scan
dals from occurring in that branch OF
| the public service.

King Cotton made a new record DUR
ing the fiscal year that ended June 30
last. The treasury figures show that
the total value of cotton and cotton
products exported during the twelve
months amounted to $685., 405, 7O7, of
which the raw cotton exports amount
ed to $S13,673,44S The remainder was
made up of cotton seed meal. cotton
seed oil and other products. This was
an average of $1,000. 900 a day for every
day of the gear. The total export value
of cotton and its products was greater
than the total value of all breadstuffs,
and greater than the value of all pro-
visions exported. 1t was, indeed, only
500. 600. 900 less than the combined value
of breadstuffs and provisions. The ag-
gregate value OF all cotton products
exported during the past decade Is
more than $4,000, OOO,O 900. 1t is evident,
therefore, that King Cotton is an
American monarch who is destined to
hold his position for many years to
come.

M'LAURIN's REPLY.

The reply of Senator McLaurin OF
| South Carolina to the Democratic
State Executive Committee of his state
is full of vitriol. 1t will be found in
full in another column. The Senator
speaks rather contemptuously of the
committees effort to read him out of
the party. He points out that it under
took TO do something which was be-
yond its authority. He thinks that
some of the members of the committee
were not wholly Observation-Disclosures not
influenced in their action by a desire
to benefit the party-since four of
them are candidates for the office he
holds. There are others of the commit
tee who, according to his view of the
situation, are so afraid of Senator Till
man that they do not dare to do other
wise than follow the latters lead. His
most poisonous shafts, however, are
aimed at Senator Tillman. He COM
pares his record in the Senate with
that of Mr.. Tillman, and asserts that
he has not voted with the Republicans
oftener than Mr.. Tillman has.
He goes into Mr.. Tillmans record
pretty thoroughly, and aims to make it
appear that the latter has, in some
unaccountable way, made politics pay.
He says some nasty things about the
senior Senator. things that are calcu-
lated to leave a sting. They are things
that Mr.. Tillman cannot afford to per-
NIT to pass unnoticed.
1t is evident that the war between
the two Senators will have to be fought
to a finish. There is no chance now for
a compromise. Senator Tillman in
tends to drive Senator McLaurin out
of the Democratic party If he can, and
Senator McLaurin believes that he has
a chance of being reelected to the
Senate in spite of Senator Tillman's
opposition to him. The feeling between
them is extremely bitter. The triumph
of one means the political death of the
other.
Just what Senator McLaurin's
strength is now 1t is impossible to say.
1t is believed there are a great many
McLaurin men who have not yet de-
clared themselves. 1t is barely possible
that there is a stronger under-current
for McLaurin than there is generally
believed to be. He will not lose any
ground in the contest with Senator
Tillman. He has enough influence be-
hind him to hold the following he now
has, and 1t may be that he has enough
to surprise Senator Tillman and the
State Executive Committee. The con-
test between the two Senators is inter-
esting the entire country and will in
terest it to a still greater extent be-
fore it is decided.

From the Denver Post.
We see a man with underlip that has a
downward droop,
Upon his face a scowl as II he'd fallen
in the soupi
He roams about the busy streets in an
uneasy way,
And puts a surly accent on the things
he has to say.
He goes into a restaurant and drops
into a seat
And wonders why they've not thing
At for a dog 30 eat,
And If you care to seek the cause that
makes him feel so brown,
You'll not have very far to look; his
wife is out of town.
We see another man dressed up I'M
usually gay,
He wears a smile of gladness and a
buttonhole bouquet;
He joins the cruising parties where the
white-topped schooners sail.
And goo-goos all the pretty girls who
chance to cross his trail.
At striking of the midnight hour he
yet is on the street,
Is strenuous in his efforts to control
his wabbling feet;
He wears his hat tipped sideways on
his -befuddled crown;
The mousey knows the cats away; his
wife is out of town.

How wye Was Discovered.

Col. "Bill" Root of Laramie, Wyo.,
the dealer in wild animals and the dis
coverer of "Bill Nye.p and who now
Glen Island. tells the following story
of how he discovered" the humorist,
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Bill Nye,' when he was a young
man, wasn't much; In fact, folks in
Laramie wondered whether he would
eventually dry up and blow away or
just die from plain starvation. Things
never would come his way, and that
same way led through many rocky
places. Everything to which he turned
his hand seemed to wither under 1t,
and he began to think that he was a
'hoodo.'
Bill was a pretty discouraged sort
OF cuss, when | said to him and his
wife one day: Come out to the ranch
and stay with me for awhile and they
came. Long before this time Frances,
Bills wife, hand made up her mind
that Bill was cast in the mold Of a
lawyer, and nothing would do but Bill
must study law. So Bill came along
with his old books, and would wander
around the ranch trying to imbibe
ozone and pages of Blackstone. But the
canker worm ofworry was in his mind,
and the ozone and several of the things
l had in a cupboard seemed to do little
good.
Every little while Bill would sneak
away, write something he called fun
n.y. send it away, and anxiously wait
for the lightning. in the shape of a
check, to strike. Now, Frances discour-
aged all this. She wanted the law or
nothing. She felt that once Bill hung
out his shingle all the world would inn
mediately get into trouble and half of
it would fall over itself to get into
Bills office.
We'll one day Bill met me about
three miles away from the ranch and
said: Bill, 1 want your advice. I've
got something in my pocket and on
my mind, and want you to tell me
what to do.
with that he unbuttoned his coat
and pulled out letter from a Denver
newspaper inclosing a check for $40,
showed it to me, and aske, Shall be-
come a funny man or a lawyer
looked at Bill, and then at the check
and back at Bill again. That check
surprised me even more than it did
him. But was there to give judgment,
and had to do it.
"'Bill, 1 said, IF you can find fool
ish people anywhere in this world who
are ready to part with good bank
checks for that stuff you grind out,
you go right to the house, get a big
bottle out of the cupboard, put a wet
towel about your head. and sit down
and grind. A man must have brains
to be lawyer
"And Bills wife never spoke to me
for three years"

senator Daniels Wit.

Senator John w. Daniel of Virginia,
one of the most distinguished advo-
Gates in the Old Dominion, is as IA
nous for his wit as for his great legal
attachments, says the New York
Times. Shortly after the war he. was
prosecuting a mountaineer in one of
the Western counties for forgery. The
court rules were very lax, and it was
common for lawyers to comment OPEN
ly in court concerning the cases of
their colleagues. On this special occa-
sion Mr.. Daniel had just asked the
prisoner a very pointed question con-
corning another shady transaction 9TH
err than the one for which he was being
tried, when a lawyer for whom the at
torney did not have the kindest feel
ings arose and remarked:
May it please your honor, I would
like to state for the benefit of the state
that the defendant on one occasion
tried to forge my name to a check, but
--r
Turning quickly around Senator DAN
lei gave the lawyer a searching look.
and then turning to the Judge, re
marked:
IF the court please, I would like to
say that l am not trying to prove the
prisoner insane"
