County Democrat,
The above is a reflection upon our
democratic officials which should not
be allowed to go unrebuked. The
term ring aa here used evidently
means a combination Of the county
officers for the purpose of controlling
he party in the county and continu-
ing themselves in office Now. is
there such combination? If there
is, certainly the evidences thereOfcan
be- pointed out and the ring exposed.
Have the county officers been work
lngln harmony ON all men and meas
ureS that came up. controlling the
democratic committee to their own
ends and SO dpmeaning themselves
that such a charge can Justly stand.
The facts are, SO far as our observa-
tons go, that just the opposite con-
ditions exist at the court house.
While the officials are friendly and
courteous to one another. they show
little disposition 10 be chummy. and
they are rarely unit on any prop
osltion that comes up. They are a
steady. sober and industrious set of
officials all of them thoroughly COM
petent, and it is libel upon them for
democratic paper TO make such
baseless ipsinuations. Col Wade
should produce evidence to substan
tate such charges. or admit that he

SCHLEY Is AROUSED.
Abused Naval Officer Calls for
Full Investig alton of the
Santiago Affair.
Will Sue Historian Maclav.

Washington, ID. C., July 23.-The
Washington Post last night tele-
graphed Admiral Schley that in an
editorial it insisted that he owed il
to himself as well as TO his friends to
begin proceedings against Mr. Mac
lay. the author OF the History of the
United States Navy, to disprove the
latter's charge, adding:
"Will you do this? Please wire
statement"
To-day it received the following
telegram:
Great Neck, l.. L.. July 23.-Edi-
tor Washington Post: | believe the
first step should be investigation Of
all matter by court. then a civil
action afterward. | am preparing to
take this course. w. ;. SCHLEY."
The Post this morning, as a result
OF extensive inquiries based upon the
admiral's dispatch. will say in part:
Admiral Schley proposes to ask an
Investigation at the hands of a naval
court of inquiry and then to sue His
torian Maclay for libel
His action is the sequel TO the de-
velOpments during the past week,
when the entire country was stirred
by the publication of the unexampled
abuse poured out upon him in the
third volume of F. S. Maclay's his
tory of the United States navy. in
which publication SchIey is said TO
have run away in caitiff flight, and
is, in addition. denounced as a COW
ard, a cur and a traitor.
The Schley court of inquiry will ur-
dOubtedly be one of the most cele-
brated cases III the naval or military
history of the country. The high
rank OF the officers involved in the
controversy and the intense public
feeling which has been aroused will
combine TO give TO the investigation
a dramatic interest. Nothing has
occurred in Washington for many
years that will compare with It.
NAVY SECRETARY NAMES BOARD.
Admiral Schley's letter asking for
the appointment OF the court will be
addressed to Secretary Long. who is
his immediate chief.
Mr.. Long has already stated that
If Admiral Schley requested a court
OF inquiry he would grant the re-
quest. and has also expressed his
Willingness 10 personally select the
court. While he has not made any
statement as TO its personnel. there
Is every reason to believe that he
favOrs Admiral Dewey and Rear Adj
mirals Ramsay and Benham. the two
latter being now upon the retired
list.
With respect TO the matters to be
inquired into by the court ofinguiry.
the Post will say that it might he
difficult TO state briefly the exact
questions which will come before the
court, but that Admiral SchIev con-
densed them in a letter written n
Senator Hale, chairman OF the senate
committee on naval affairs. Febru-
airy Is, 1899. This letter divided tba
criticisms to himself into four heads

\ telegram from Parsons, Kansas.
says: The unprecedented drouth
has ruined the early corn and will
probably kill the late corn. Labette
county corn has all burned up and
reports from all over Kansas Indicate
that all Kansas corn is a failure.
There is a superstition that every
year that ends in the figure one, the
corn crop will be a failure. Itwas so
in 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881. 1891
and so on with all the years ending
with 1. According 10 this belief and
superstition people say that as 1901
ends with the figure one that it ac-
counts for the failure OF the corn
crop.
