IN BOTH.

Omaha Bee: It is expected that
under the present administration
there will be reforms in the army
and the navy looking to the elimina-
ton of the causes of d~issensiOn that
have long existed and the suppression
of cliques and cabals that have been
sources of more or less trouble in
both the military and naval services.
1t is already noted that among the
ramifying effects Of the change of adj
ministration will be the rehabilitation
of the commanding general of the
army and the diminishing Importance
and influence Of the staff officers.
A long step in this direction has been
taken since Mr.. Root became secre-
tary of war. He has done his best to
do away with the division of authority
from which the army has suffered
SO much in the past and to assimilate
the conditions of peace to those of
war. 1t seems that he is to now have
in this the hearty and active cooper
alton of the president and there car
be no doubt that the result will be
greatly to the advantage of the effic-
iency, discipline and morale of the
army. -
There is no less and possibly even
greater need of reform in the navy,
where cliques have caused much dis
sension and nc little scandal. The
war with Spain disclosed the exist
ence of fractional rivalries that never
should have been tolerated and since
such evidence of this as to have cast
a serious reflection upon the reputa-
lion of the navy. Whoever has close.

ment, while the facts presented seem
to conclusively show hat during the
Santiago campaign there was a dis.
position shown to as far as possible
to ignore Schley. 1t might be entirely
unjust to assume that this was inspir
ed from the navy department, yet il
seems to be unquestionable that the
controlling influences there were not
at all friendly to Schley and this was
generally understood, it is not to be
doubted, among naval officers. For
tunately this state of affairs did moi
interfere with the achievement of one
of the greatest naval victories in his
tory but it has cast a certain odiun
upon the navy which every American
keenly regrets.
There should be no cliques or ca
balls in either the army or the navy
1t is impossible, of course, to proven
personal prejudice, but this should

"FleHTING BOB"

"Fighting Bob Evans en- route to the
Samoan Islands, was interviewed rec
emily at Omaha. The interview was
brief but from the tone of the ad-
miral's replies to the queries put him,
it is evident that he is not in a happy
frame Of mind. To begin with, the
Samoan station is hardly the proper
recognition for the man who won the
battle of Santiago, and then the devel-
opments of the inquiry now being con-
Quoted at Washington are not to his
liking. He was reticent in expressing
an opinion as to the outcome of the
inquiry but thought Schley had the
country with him; concluding he gave
vent to this bit of private opinion:
II will state this, however, that the
battleship Texas is not receiving the
notice and consideration it deserves in
that investigation. That the Texas
played a very important and telling
part in the sinking of Cevera's fleet,
there is no ~gainsaying. 1t was there
and I ought to know.'
It is unfortunate for Admiral Evans
| reputation that he Was-in the begin
ming of the Spanish war-handicapped
with a nom-de-guepre that presuppos-
ed deeds of daring in and out of sea-
son. We landlubbers, when the war
was on and the fleets af1oat in pursuit
of each other, Rugged ourselves in
the supreme conviction of the fact
that we had a Fighting Bob" who was
invincible. 1t was not his fault that
we for a time esteemed him to be
the whole navy and thought no more
Of Sampson and Schley and the rest
of the ~top-headers than if they were
so many figureheads. It vas Eight
ing Bob" who was going to do 'em"
and that settled it. We have no crit
icism to offer as to Admiral Evans
ability and bravery. He must possess
both qualifications to be where he is,
and it is probably owing purely to
luck and a slower vessel that he was
not a sharer with the Brooklyn and
the Oregon in the brunt of that glor-
ious fight off Santiago, but he wasn't
except in a very limited degree, and
it would be better if he did not claim
more than history allows him. A sal
lent feature of Fighting Bob is the
untiring zeal with which he performs
on his own cornet. This has subjected
him to much adverse criticism in the
minds of thinking people. He would
do we'll to take Capt. Clark of the
Oregon for a pattern. Actually, that
man has not ben heard from once in
public print since he cabled the board
of naval STACEY from Bahia to please
not hamper him with instructions;
that he was able to take care Of him
self and was not afraid of the whole
Spanish navy; and subsequent events
proved that he was telling the truth

LEPROSY ON THE DECREASE.
Report of Marine Hospital Service in
Hawaii.

laval.
Washington, Oct. 21.-There are
now 900 lepers and 164 clean persons
at the Molokai leper settlement in
Hawaii, according to a'report just re-
ceived from Chief Quarantine Officer
Golfer, in charge of the Marine hospi-
tai work in Hawaii. All these are
housed, fed, clothed and governed for
$4,000 a year. The report praises the
hopeful and cheerful manner in which
these poor people resign themselves
to their fate and points out that such
contentment can thrive only on a com

ment. Surgeon Cofer reports he made
careful inquiries as to the chances of
the infection of the clean people work
ing among the lepers and that the
general opinion was that in time they
would become lepers. In the last ten
years only ten clean residents have
become lepers. The board of health
has initiated a new system for pre-

and friends from embracing and kiss
ing each other by marching the visit
ors Immediately from the steamer
landing to a corral with a double
fence. The friends are compelled to
remain inside this enclosure and the
lepers gather around and talk through
the bars. Visitors are permitted at
any time under this system, instead
of only once a year as formerly. The
results of known exposure to leprosy,
says the report, show an uncertinty
as to the chances of individual infec-
ton, which makes the disease n of
the most difficult to operate against.
Women are said to be less liable to it
than men. The three Oldest patients
at the settlement arrived in 1874, 1875
and 1879 respectively.

a job had been provided for him. He

home, than he laid plans to burglarize
the premises, and was caught in the
act and arrested. Upon his return
to the state penitentiary, says the
Loveland Register, the officials claim
ing that he had always made them
trouble, was sorry to have him re-
turned. The Register says. "Wbat

granted paroles. There is evidently
something wrong with system that

Put on a New rlan.

That it pays to advertise was
proved very effectually by Beecher-
the City Book Store man-last week.
He concluded to push picture framing
for time during the dull book season
and began by placing a good sized
advertisement on the subject in the
RECORD. The result was that they
have been 80 busy the addition of a
new man was necessary, and the new
man has been kept fully occupied.
Many people had pictures to be fran
ed and many Of these knew that
Beecher did the business, but the ad
reminded them of both these facts
and brought in the pictures. If you
have a picture to frame, take it to
Beecher, and if you don't believe in
advertising ask Beecher about it.

PURE CRYSTAL ICE.
canon's New Plant In Full Operation
and Is Furnishing Elegant crys-
tai Ice to Consumers.

After unexpected delays the Canon
Crystal Ice company began operations
the first of the week. The electrical
and other machinery is working
smoothly. The tanks in which the
ice ID manufactured were filled and
frozen on Monday and or Tuesday
the cans were emptied. The quality
of the ice for the first freezing was
considered good, although not per-
fectly clear and solid as it will be
hereafter. This is always the case
with the first freeze, occasioned
through the brine in which the freez-
ing tanks are placed not being of a
sufficiently low temperature. Once
cold, however, this difficulty is done
away with.
The water used for the ice is taken
direct from large well put down by
the company and it is perfectly clear
and sparkling. The well is supplied
with water that has seeped through
from the river and passed through
immense beds of gravel.
The delivery of ice was started
Tuesday, and it is confidently believed
there will now be no break in the i'm
mense daily output of pure, sparkling
crystal ice, of which the plant is ca
pable.
DR.. Cherris and his associates in
this enterprise are to be congratulated
upon the initial start of the new in
