CONTROVERSY

This was started afresh short time
ago by the publication Of the savage
attack on Schley in Maclay's naval his
tory, which had been adopted as a text
book at Annapolis. 1t denounced
Schley as an incompetent, coward and
a falsifier. The secretary of the navy
was compelled to notice this, and the
result has been that although secretary
Long has been held to be of the Samp-
son side, he has discredited and taken
issue with Naval Historian Maclay, and
his book has been excluded from the
naval school course. What promises
to be a more important factor in the
controversy has been fred by admiral
Robley D. Evans, fighting Bob, in an
interview in which he vindicates Schley
from one of the most telling points
made aginst him as to his services in
the West Indies. 1t also puts admi.
raj Sampson in an ugly position. Schley
was severely censured for delay at
Cienfuegos, Cuba, of 3S hours, ON the
belief that the Cerveras fleet had en-,
tered that port, when it was actually at
Santiago. According to Admiral Evans
the delay was because Admiral Sampson
had not informed Schley or the captain
of the Brooklyn, Of a code of signals for
communicating with the insurgents on
shore, and the possession of which would
have enabled Schley to have known in
an hours time that the Spanish fleet wac
not at Cienfuegos. In that case it could
only haye been at Santiago, as afterwards
turned out to be the fact, after Schley
had wasted 38 hours looking for it at
Cienfuegoes. This code of signals was
communicated to all the captains of the
fleet but Schley and the captain of the
Brooklyn on which vessel Schley wasIon
duty. 1t looks as if it vas intended
that Schley should not have even fair
chance with the other captains and the
admiral, to render efficient service.
Admiral Evans goes into all the particu-
lars of this extraordinary lapse OF duty
as regards Schley, and makes the facts
clear. What adds to the weight of his
testimony, he has not been an admirer OF
Schley, but his disclosure removes from
schley's record what the navy has con-
strued as an unwarranted delay in hunt
ing up the Cerveras feet. 1t seems GER
tain now that a thorough investigation
will be made, as Schley will have a,
court Of ofinquiry, and as a matter Of in
volving the naval hist torv Of the .conn.
try and the reputation and services Of
high officers this is proper.

In the great steel striks no question
of wages is INVOLVED. Nor is there any
question of recognition Of the union.
The demand which the manufacturers
do not concede is that they shall union
ize their non-union mills and compel
under penalty Of discharge every non
union employe at such mills to become a
member of the Amalgamated associa.

places all the mills under the DONNA.
ton of the union, which in turn is con-
trolled by shrewd schemers whose tenure
of office too often depends on the dis.
turbances they may create between cap
ital and labor. The position of the
employees in this instance is not of a
nature to attact popular sympathy, and
very few evidences of such sympathy
are to be observed any where. If the
case were one of wages or of hours there
might be an awakening Of public interest,
but now it is wholly dormant. Even
hatred Of the trust is not strong enough
to produce sentiment favorable to the
strikers.

The latter portion of Judge Towner's
remarks in his Fourth of July speech at
Lenox, are precisely in accordance with
the views of Hon. A. B. Cummins, and
accounts for his wonderful popularity
with republicans in every county in
Iowa. But the opposite views are en-
tertained by the Hubbard railroad ring.
If Judge Towner is not very careful he
will incur the displeasure of certain
newspapers IN Clarinda, Creston and
Mt. Ayr, who In addition to drawing
money regularly from the general gov
ernment, of the state of Iowa, are pur.
suing the exact course necessary to de.
eat Judge Towner in the state conyen
ton. Just why every newspaper that
is edited by postmaster, or state Off
cial, should oppose the equal taxation
of railroad with private property, is moi
actually known, but excites curiosity
But the rule is followed in the 9Th, AT
well as in the lst district.

AS a squelcher to prosperity the ter
2rible drouth is significant. To those
who believe in special proyidences and
the visiting Of Affections on wicked peo-
pie, it will be signal instance of divine
rebuke of human presumptuousness. A
perverse generation has been ascribing
toa politician and to the followers of
that politician the prosperity that came
from the soil, the weather and the crops.
Now they are reminded by terrible
visitation that acts Of congress- and
policies of presidents do not make pros
perity. The will learn to look to nature
and to natures great ruler for the gift Of
conditions that create prosperous times.

ODD THINGS OUT IN KANSAS.

Some curious inequalities are noted in
the Kansas crop situation. At some
points farmers are giving pound and
quarter of wheat for pound of corn,
yet the authorities agree that pound
of wheat is worth more than pound of
corn. At Wellington bran and shorts
are selling at $ll per half ton, yet the
farmers are selling their wheat at a little
over $8 per half ton. 1t seems unreason.
able that bran and shorts should be
worth more than the wheat from which
they are made, particularly when the
-four product taken from the wheat is
worth more than $l7 per half ton.

FARMERS AND THEIR LIVE STOCK

The good rains that fell have come to
all parts Of Kansas and Nebraska and
Oklahoma, and in sections of Missouri
and Iowa, will save the farmers of>~this
region from loss on live stock, even if
they do not recover the damage done
to the corn crops. The enormous ship.
ments of cattle and hogs just prior to
these rains indicated the alarm that had
been caused by the scarcity of water.
A large proportion of these shipments
was made up Of grazing stock, some Of
lit being sacrificed. As result the
markets haye been glutted, and even
now there seems to be an unnecessary
timidity as to the outlook. Large ship.
ments of live stock are still being
made regardless of the fitness of the
animals for slaughter or the condition of
the market.
Those who have taken greater pains
to ascertain the real conditions earnest
ly discourage making sacrifices of live
stock at the present time. The pastur-
age will soon be abundant as result Of
late rains land there is still time to pro-
duce abundant forage Of good quality
for winter feed. The corn crop will be
better than was at first supposed.
Mr.. Paul Morton, second vice presi-
dent Of the Santa Fe railway, in letter
addressed to The Star, calls attention to
what he regards as the unnecessary sac
lifices of the Western farmers who own
live stock. He has given the subject
careful attention and believes that it is
mistake to send other than beef cattle
to the market at this time. Heis very
hopeful Of the situation, and speaking
for the road he represents, expresses the
belief that it will carry corn into Kansas
at reduced rates. if it is to be had in
more fortunate states, in order to help
the farmers keep their stock and fatten
it.
Al least it would seem that while the
present abundant rains continue in
various parts Of the hitherto dry sec
ton the holders OF stock can afford tt
await Developments. 1t is wholly i'm
probable that there will come a time
when there will be less demand
for feed cattle than at present. .-Kansal

There is great deal Of rot printed
from time to time about newspapers
holding up railroad companies for free
passes. but these statements can almost
invariably be traced to Irresponsible
persons whose information on the sub
ject is no greater than their intelligence.
Railroad companies are not in the trans
portation business for their health, and
the newspaper man who gets pass
from them pays for it. If not in actual
cash, the return is made in the adver-
tising columns. We should like to get a
look at the editor who gets something
from the railroads and gives nothing in
return.

In speaking of defau]ting cashiers and
other bank officers holding and manag-
ing the money of others, DR.. Talmage
in recent sermon said:
''Now, that is trust. That is as sa-
cred trust as God can give man. 1t
is the concentration of confidence.
Now, when that man takes that money
the money Of others and goes to specu-
lating with it for his own purpose, he is
guilty Of theft, falsehood and perjury

word is miscreant.

His discussion of the problems of transportation which now confront American manufacturers and American farmers was notably interesting and effective

 The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up again and when the reading of the bill had been finished an amendment offered by MT. Pettigrew for the committee on h. dian affairs providing that lands allotted in severalty to Indians may be condemned un- der the laws of the states or territories in which the land Is located, was adopted.
 Discussing committee amendment pro- viding for the appointment of townsite com missioners, MT. Platt of Connecticut said |, the present trouble in the Creek nation had nothing to do with the plating or disposal Of townsites Those who were creating the present disturbance, he said, were prin- cipally wild Indians who are opposed to the breaking up of tribal rela tions and the allot- ment of their lands in severalty.
 MT. Jones of Arkansas confirmed MT. Pratts statement and expressed the opinion that the threatened uprising was not seri- ous.
 This morning MT. Towne of Minnesota of fered the following joint resolutions:
