The Case of Rear Admiral schleY.

Atlanta Constitution: The case Of Rear
Admiral Schley, from being one Of a
difference of opinion as to whom merit is
due for the victory of Santiago, has now
developed into great national scandal,
in which the department OF the navy
stands at disadvantage.
With the previous history Of this un-
fortunate controversy it is unnecessary
to deal further than to say that there
were two points of view from which it
could be discussed with perfecthonesty.
Whether the man temporarily absent
from the conflict should have the credit
OF victory because OF his perfection of
plans, or whether the senior officer, who
had no part in the plan but who didlead
in the active fight, should have the credit
both present points upon which men may
differ. The latest phase however, /; one
which exhibits the department of the
navy engaged in an effort to besmirch
the character of valiant officer whom
it had itself named for promotion.
This work has been attempted through
the agency of man carried on the list
as day laborer. In this way Admiral
Schley was not only placed at disad-
vantage in the department itself, to which
he had a right to look for fair play, but
he was placed in the unethical position Of
being called upon to notice the criticisms
of day laborsr. To all who understand
the strict etiquette governing officers OF
the navy, an etiquette formulated by the
government itself, it will be seen how
cowardly was the method adopted by the
enemies of the officer interested. When
Secretary Long coolly says that Rear
Admiral Schley has his remedy in an ap-
peal to a court of inquiry, ,,he well knows
that it is challenge to appeal to pre-
Judged body. No sane man, whether in
civil, military or naval life, could ahord
to risk his character in the hands OF &
court with such an initiative. Fortunate
ly there is in the United States higher
court than any made by law-the court
of public opinion. This court has already
decided that the attack on Admiral
SchIey, regardless Of the original cause
of quarrel, was most dastardly in con-
ception, and its effect must revert upon
the department of itself. Rear Admiral
Schley does well in refusing to be snar-
ed by such challenge. Itiseven ques'
ton IL he should submit his cause to the
decision Of a congressional committee OF
| INQUIRY, because even that body would
receive much OF its suggestion from the
powers aroundthe naval department. 10
the historian of the future must the Whoie
issue be left. The people know VINO was
present during the engagement on san
tiago, and they equally know who was a.,
absent. With this knowledge they nlh
settle the Nhole controversy in sans
factory manner.

New York World; In comment
upon recent orders of the Post
Office Department restricting Sec
oDd.GIass mail privileges the belief
is stated that by these changes and
others IN prospect one-eent letter
postage may be made possible.
1t would be pride worthy
achievement If the United States
were to lead the world in this final
triumph Of cheap postage. For il
would be with us triumph over
time and space. The distance from
New York to Chicago, for instance,
is ! 900 miles, from London TO Liv-
erpool only 200. from Paris to Ly.
ons 250, from Berlin to Hamburg
l75. By our postal routes to ALASKA,
Porto Rico and the Philippines we
haye added 20 the average distance
an American letter travels, already
far greater than in any other
county.
But our superior facilities for
handling mail--in particular, heav,
ier trains and engines--more than
make up EOr this disadvantage. And
the fact that Americans are letter.
writing nation gives the post Office
that volume of business which
makes a low rate feasible. Tho
New York City Post.Ofice alone
took 10 more than $ll 900 600 last
year. Oar foreign mails are enor
nous. Great Britain sends us two.
thirds as many letters as she does
to the entire continent of Europe,
lying at her door. Wespend nearly
So each on postage eYerv year--at
present about s1l,00O,000. With
little more than 2 per cent. of the
worlds population, we furnish near
ly one.third Of its postal business.
A reduction in domestic letter
postage to one cent would tend to
increase still further the volume of
mailed matter. 1t wonld aid educa
ton by the diffusion Of ideas; it
would stimulate trade. 1t IS bound
to come.

typical Republicanism.

II is typical voicing OF real re-
publican sentiment, says the St.
Louis Republic, when the Howsrd
County Echo, discussing Mr. Bry-
ans expressed belief that Mark
Hanna will be the next republican
candidate for president, says" swell,
in that case it might be worse. We
would rather see Mark Hanna EN-.
peror than W. ]. Bryan president
There are many republicans who
will heartily indorse this express
ION and consider themselves logical.
ly in line with their party's position
on existing issues, as, indeed, they
would be. Mark Hanna as emperor
would be infinitely more in keeping
with recent teachings Of republican
orators and organs, and with the
policies of the republican admins
tration, than would W. ]. Bryan or
any other man as president elected
by the votes of the people. He
would, in fact, exactly represent the
republican party's abandonment of
American principles and complete
surrender to the coincident evils of
commercjalized politics and Old
World imperialism.
Under the demorallziHg influence
of their retrogression to an unqual-
flied adoption Of the Hamiltonian
theory of government, thousands OF
republicans now believe in their
souls that the United States would
be much better off with. a strong
man ruling as emperor than contin-
uing as q government of the people
by The people for the people. This
decadent and utterly unamerican
party agrees fully with Hamilton's
dlstrust of and scorn for the com
mon people. Under Hanna's dlcta-
ton, operating through Mr.. McKin-
lev, the American government is
now being run on the Hamiltonian
basis Of the government of the com
mon people by q privileged and
superior" class, whose rule IS ex-
clusIveIy for their own advantage
at the expense of the people. 1t is
but short step from this "govern.
ment by aristocracy" to govern
ment by a monarch whose majesty
comes from belief in the aristo-
cratic idea.
The sneer in the Howard County
Echo contains deal of truth as to
the convictions now animatiOg the
republican party. 1t will not be
long until these suggestions of GER.
tain preferable monarchical forms
of government will come more FIRE,
auently and openly from republi.
cen sources. Our backward move.
ment toward the European idea
has been ominously swift 10 the
past three years. The same rate of
Tetrogression will bring US face to
face with open advocacy of an EN-.
pire 10 place of the republic in the
very near future.
