UNFORTUNATE.

The contest between the partizans
of Sampson and Schley still goes on
and seems to grow in bitterness as ii
continues. 1t is a most unfortunate
affair which it viii take a very impair
tial historian of the future to unravel
To the would-be impartial locker on OF
the day, there seems no reason to ac-
cuse either Sampson of dilatoriness, OF
Schley of cowardice. Sampson planned
and watched. He was away, it is true
at the critical moment, but had every
reason to go and consult with General
Shafter. Any one who knows anything
of Schley, personally, or who has fol-
lowed his career must consider the
charges of cowardice, in his case as
absurd
The two men are certainly the anti
podes of one another. Sampson is cold,
self contained, retiring and somewhat
naughty in demeanor. Schley Is of a
warm temperament, effusive, brilliant
in speech and thought, and free of man
ner like the typical sailor of an earlier
period. In point of fact Schley might
have sat for his portrait to one of
Marryat's jolly naval officers. Sampson,
outside of the circle that knows him
well and appreciates his solid worth,
and his naval skill, is not popular.
Schley is the idol of Virginia and
adored by the mob. He is a son of
Virginia and the populace of Washing
ton delight in doing him honor. At the
time that Dewey was received in Wash
ington, Schley received nearly as much
cheering whenever he appeared while
Sampson was passed by almost in
silence.
The latest phase of the quarrel be-
tween partizans is the introduction in
to Maclays History of the United
States Navy of charges of cowardice
and INSTRUMENTATION against Admiral
Schley previous to and during the bat
tie of Santiago. The work, which has
been prepared by Navy Department
clerk had been adopted as a text book
for the Annapolis Naval Academy Sc
cretary Long has excluded from the
course the third volume which contains
the Objectionable matter.
OF course it is especially unfortunate
that this book should have emanated
from an employee of the Naval Depart
ment, in as much as the Navv Depart
ment has been charged with being over
partial to Admiral Sampson

to reconcile the anomalies and make
law and justice harmonic. His fol-
lowers may succeed, but he will break
as all eminent reformers have done, his
heart in the struggle, and probably earn
the execration of those for whose well
fare he sacrificed himself. The true re-
former apparently fails, but his spirit
succeeds. The charlatan apparently
succeeds, but really fails.

THE EVANS BILL VETO.
(Chicago Record.)


The action of Governor Heber NJ. Wells
passed by the legislature of that state
undoubtedly is a cause for widespread
qualification 1t spares the country from
"A threatened disgrace and from the con-
sideratiOn of a decidedly unsavory issue
The bill in question provides that no per-
son may bring d charge of pOlygamy eX-

cused or one of his blood relations. 1t
was represented, behalf of the bill
that it would put stop to malicious
prosecutions growing out of political or
sectaTian controversies. As a matter of
fact. the whole effect of the bill would
be to give the pClygamist exemption from
the nations laws and uSageS respecting
marriage. So long as he kept on good
terms with his wives and his relatives
he would be free to practice pOlygamy
without restraint.
Governor Wells veto message is la
mentally illogical in its reasoning and
obviously deferential to the pOlygamiSt
sentiment in Utah. He loudly protests
his friendship for the people who are af-
fected by his act, asserting that the pro-
posed law would be a most effective
weapon against the very classes it aims
to protect. He points out. moreover. that
the Dill would create demand uDOn
congress for constitutional amendment
designed to cover the particular needs of
I tan, and he declares that this would be
obnoxious to the people of the state. But
is unbecOming, his veto is none the less
eftective and its practical results none
the less commentaries.

must have brought before the country

while he and Mr.. Campbell were in
congress together he spent most of his
time working off practical jokes at the

on whether his claims were recognized
or repudiated.
A very hot political canvass found
Tim one of the stanchest adherents OF

HERO OF THE WRECKED RIO.
The Quartermaster Laid Down His

Tales of heroic seIf-sacrifice come
from the wreck and Quartermaster
Fred Lindstrom energies as the hero of
the occasion. The story of what he
dared and did makes pleasant reading
in these sorid commercial days, and
reminds one of that beautiful phrase
Better love hath no man than this,
that he lay down his life for his
friend" LindsIrOm was so strongly
possessed of that sense of duty that
he, as an officer of the ship, must try
to save the others, that he laid down
his life again and again, not only for
men of his own blood, but for men,
yellow and despised, Chinese and Jap
anese. Some twenty-five lives stand to
his credit, and, in the end after entire
recklessness so far as his own life was
concerned, and again and again Civ
ing his good place to others he was
saved, as he ought to have been. The
world is not so rich in heroes that it
can afford to lose such men as Lind

Crittenden, how little it sometimes
takes to knock an orator off his fet?
Something less than fifty years ago
George G. Vest went from Frankfort
to some little town between that place
and Shelbyville to make his first polit-
ical speech. In detailing the matter to
me he said he thought he was ready

loaded with facts, figures and rhetoric.
Quite a crowd had gathered before a
small store to hear the young man,
some sitting on boxes, some on kegs
and many on their launches. Vest said

he was sailing off in one of his best

arose from his doubled up position and
exclaimed as he walked from the crowd,

Vest, came upon him so unexpectedly
it completely knocked from his mind
the lines of thought. He was unable
to proceed any further, at once sitting
down in the profoundest sorrow. He
made a vow he would never return to
that village again. 1t is well known
to Vests old friends that his hair in
those early days was as red as the top

the remark peculiarly fitting to him.
